House Sitting Idlewild

“Katelyn is the best! She arrives and departs exactly as scheduled, is excellent with communication, and takes great care of our pups. We are thankful to know her. 🙂”

“I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings. She also brought in my packages and took up my garbage cans which was a huge help. I'll definitely use her services again in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Sumer and I am first and foremost, an animal lover! My professional pet care experience began as a kennel tech for a major boarding facility 8 years ago. Here, I assisted in caring for boarding clients, managing day care clients, and assisting in grooming and training of all animals in our care. I love that with Rover, I am able to provide individualized care for your pets! Since I only take a few clients at a time, I’m able to focus all of my energy on helping your dog feel safe, loved, and successful while you are away. When I care for your pet, I want to maintain their routine with you as much as possible. Through my professional experience, I have gained skills working with a wide range of behaviors, so I am confident that I am able to safely manage even the toughest of behaviors in your dog. I personally own two dogs that really struggle in boarding, so at home care with trusted pet sitters is essential for me! When I care for your pet, I care for them like my own. I’m happy to give them what they need to be happy, successful, and loved until you return! If boarding in my own home - dogs must be comfortable in a kennel! I have an intact male dog, a senior dog, and a cat. To keep the peace with new guests, we rotate dogs in and out of the crate to give everyone adequate one on one time. This ensures that everyone has their own needs met and ensures that I can keep my own dogs comfortable as well. When scheduling, I build my day to day around your pets schedule to meet their needs and keep their routine similar as much as possible. Both of my personal dogs have drastically different needs and personalities, just like yours will. I base the care provided off of what your pet needs. If your pet is used to long walks and hours of play time, that’s what we’ll be doing. If they need a quick potty break and couch snuggling time while they miss their owners, I’m happy to step in.

“Seemed to do a good job. My dog seemed happy and she left the house clean. Sent pictures and kept in contactwith what was happening.”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was little from helping friends and family to watching neighbors pets for an extended periods of time for some extra cash. I now have two babies of my own and I’m happy to help with others. Please feel free to reach out! I am currently out of a job and looking to get on my feet so I’m available Monday through Friday and the weekends! I’m flexible and reliable! I live in a two bedroom apartment with two cats I have multiple litter boxes for them and automatic feeders and a water fountain! I’m happy to care for your pets whoever you want please just be specific! I’m a loving and caring person who wants to make the best decisions for your pets while in my care!

About: I have never met an animal I didn't love immediately, am very patient with every pet, and always make sure your fur baby is comfortable. I'm currently pursuing my degree in an online college, so I have plently of time to play, snuggle, walk, and care for your pets during each day and night! I always make sure to abide by your pet's feeding schedules, give plenty of playtime, administer medication if needed, have cuddles, go on walks, clean up any messes, and ensure your pets are comfortable and safe with me at all times.

About: I'm a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver with experience caring for both large and small dogs ranging in age from 1 to 13 years old. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, preferences, and routine, and I take pride in providing attentive, individualized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am highly detail-oriented and make it a priority to maintain your dog's regular schedule, including feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and daily routines. Consistency is important for a dog's well-being, so I work hard to ensure they remain on their normal schedule while you're away. My goal is to create a positive, fun, and loving environment where your pup feels cared for and happy. Dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, cuddles, and physical activity, typically between 30 minutes and 1 hour of exercise per day, depending on their age, energy level, and needs. Before services begin, I prefer to meet both the dog and their family. This allows me to learn your pet's routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions. I also like to familiarize myself with the home, including the locations of emergency contacts, cleaning supplies, and other important items, so I can provide the safest and most seamless care possible. Communication is extremely important to me. I provide timely updates, regular photos, and detailed check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while ensuring every dog receives the love, attention, and quality care they deserve. I am a full-time employee with flexible starting and closing hours. I work remotely once a week. Weekends are open as well. When I am presented with tasks, I make sure that all my responsibilities are taken care of. I allocate appropriate time to ensure client and self-satisfaction. When I put my mind to it, I complete my tasks to the best of my ability. I enter and exit the house the same way I arrived, always maintaining the client’s privacy and security. If I notice any damage or an emergency arises, I communicate immediately, offering opportunities for additional service and support. I treat the home as if it were my own, showing respect and care in every detail. I bring the same level of attention and compassion to the client’s pet, ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am deeply caring, compassionate, tidy, and regimented in all that I do.

“Anna did a wonderful job with my two dogs and my daughter’s cat. I had surgery and was anxious enough but once I knew everything was going ok, I was able to relax. Anna had to be at the house early and covered late night potty breaks. I am very grateful!”

Annie K.

“This is the third time Savannah has watched Reggie. He recently had IVDD surgery which called for him to have a bit of extra care. Her experience in animal behavior and working at a vets office really gives her an edge for assisting him. I know I can always put my full trust in Savannah with Reggie’s care.”

Justin V.

“This was the most relaxing trip I have had in a long time. I felt at ease, and if I ever wanted an update or more photos I was quickly accommodated. One of the most professional, reliable, and honorable pet sitting experiences I have had in a long time. 10/10 would book again.”

Stasi A.

“She really helped us with a short notice booking. Flexible and easy to work. Dog’s loved her”

About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I know every pet has their own routine, quirks, and personality, and I treat each one that way.

I follow the routines you set, from feeding times to potty breaks to bedtime. I haven't administered medication before, but I'm comfortable learning and happy to follow your instructions step by step.

“Kylie did an awesome job staying with our pups while we were out of town for the weekend. Quick to respond and thorough communication, provided lots of photos and updates. She was fantastic with our almost 16 year old senior dog who wears a diaper and requires more care, and also played fetch in the backyard with our younger dog. She was tidy and left the house spotless. Would book again!”

About: I’ve cared for various dog and cat breeds/personalities throughout my life, I love them all! I have some experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I am patient and consistent when it comes to following rules or a routine. I will treat your babies like they’re my own! My daily routine includes caring for my 3 kitties by playing with, cleaning up after, and feeding/watering them; I’d love to do the same for your pets! I’m familiar with special diets and administering various forms of medication, as my cats and other pets I sit, are on medicated diets and take additional medications. I currently have open availability, save a few social obligations over then next two months, but I’m flexible and communicative so we can always discuss timelines! I treat other’s spaces with care and consideration, I like to be respectful above anything else. I love all animals and treat the pets I sit with the same care I do my own.

“Thank you again for taking care of the turkey!”

About: Intrigued by “man’s best friend” since the tender age of 3; I engulfed my life with everlasting love and care for pets; for over 30 years! My experience includes: pet sitting for neighbors: cats and dogs; providing pet washing services; and volunteering at pet shelters. Playful pups are my specialty! I’ve previously sat with Yorkies, Dalmatians, German Shepards, French bulldogs, Goldendoodles, Pomeranians, and many more! I am currently available 24/7 for services. Feel free to contact me anytime with inquiries. Safety is my top priority! Pets are family! In my home, they are provided playful toys and loving interactions. Hourly walks with a harness collar; trailing into a field for wide range of motion; to soak in the sun are a must for my furry friends! For over night stays, they will be secured in an extra large crate starting at 11pm-5am with potty breaks and soothing music for pets.

“Jailen took the best care of our sweet girl and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. She was communicative, kept me in the loop with a little scare, and kept the house tidy. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
