House Sitting in Idyllwild

“It's so difficult when you have a new pup in the house: the dog is still getting used to new surroundings and can easily become fearful when the new "hooman" is away for longer than usual. Matthew stepped in for me and Buddy felt immediately comfortable with him. I returned to no separation issues at all. Matthew went above and beyond while I was away. He is very calm and that rubbed off on Buddy. My Buddy just LOVES Matthew!”

“Our puppies were well taken care of for the few days that Darin watched them. Darin sent us pictures of their walkies and play time. Because of his diligence in watching our babies, we were able to enjoy our Holiday without worry. Darin is highly recommended.”

“Renee is just lovely. Chance bonded immediately with her and she is a great person to take care of the important critters in your life ! Highly recommend her.”

“Carolyn was fantastic!! We went to a comedy show and she was so kind and flexible with our schedule as she watched our 5 month golden doodle in our hotel room! If you are lucky enough to get Carolyn as a sitter, book her right away!! Highly recommended and VERY trustworthy!”

“Janna watched my zoo of pets (4 dogs, a cat, and a tortoise) while my husband and I were out of town. She did great and we will definitely book her again! She followed all our instructions (there were a lot) and was great about staying in touch and sharing pictures of them. We miss them a lot while we are gone… they are our babies. It was nice piece of mind having someone we could trust to watch them.”

“Samantha is amazing! When she came to meet my dogs, they loved her immediately! She met and exceeded my expectations by giving my dogs extra cuddles and sending me adorable pictures! I would highly recommend Samantha as your dog sitter (as long as it doesn't coincide with my reservations! =)”

“kaylee was amazing! we had her stay at our house for 8 days and she did a great job taking care of our pups. (they are both very needy too) she sent us pictures every day and told us how they were doing! our dogs and cat loved her and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”

“Wonderful person and sitter. Attentive, pontual and my dogs absolutely loved her. We can see she has experience with pets and loves them. They were safe with her. It was our first time using Rover and thanks to Yasmine it was such a good experience.”

“Tyler was amazing. Extremely communicative, but a good balance of not being overbearing. Asked the important questions, including idiosyncrasies about the dogs, and was able to send photos and updates throughout the trip. He truly bonded with them instead of treating it like just a job. We will use him again !”

About: I’m absolutely very passionate and I love give the dogs attention as they need that a lot and having fun with them is what I care about. It fits my schedule perfectly fine any day and anytime as well since my schedule is very flexible now days. I have plenty of time for those beautiful dogs. I pay a lot of attention to the dogs that I take care of since they are very important for the families so I love taking care of them.

“Our dog Romeo is almost five years old and a rescue. He has separation anxiety and is recovering from ligament surgery. He's also 80 lbs of lean muscle. We have only left him once for a 2-day family wedding. We were lucky to have found a local border then, but she no longer takes big dogs. That's how we found Jehnean on Rover.com. Her picture showed she had experience with big dogs, additional skills like providing meds and First Aid/CPR, daily exercise with special needs dog experience, and the best background check Rover could provide. We were nervous about leaving our baby and house to someone we didn't know. We reached out, and Jehnean agreed to visit and meet. Romeo immediately liked her--so did I! They both hung out on his big dog bed while we got to know each other. She has such a great demeanor. We were thrilled to take a much-needed vacation. We even extended the vacation time by one-day hassle-free. Jehnean watered our plants, walked and played with Romeo, and sent daily text updates and pictures of our baby. In addition, she left our house in an immaculate state! Upon our return, her updates were all positive. We welcomed Jehnean to our doggy family and highly recommend her to care for your furries and home! Thank you, Jehnean, for providing excellent service!”

“If I could give Kevin S. more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the moment he stepped into our home to take care of our beloved furry family members, Gracie, Hudson, and Wallis, I knew we had found the perfect pet sitter. His dedication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals were evident from the very beginning. Gracie, our senior king charles spaniel, requires special attention and medication due to her age-related health issues. Kevin took the time to listen carefully to our instructions and followed them meticulously. He ensured Gracie received her medications on time and was always there to provide the extra support and comfort she needed. It was heartwarming to see the bond that developed between Kevin and Gracie during his stay. Hudson, our playful and energetic beagle, can be quite a handful, but Kevin managed him with ease and patience. He took Hudson on long walks, played fetch tirelessly, and ensured he got the exercise he needed to stay happy and healthy. We received regular updates with photos and videos of Hudson having a blast with Kevin, which reassured us that our boy was in great hands. Wallis, our mischievous little cat, can be a bit standoffish with new people, but she seemed to warm up to Kevin faster than we anticipated. He must have a magic touch with felines because Wallis was often found snuggled up next to him, which is something she rarely does with anyone else. What truly sets Kevin apart is his genuine love and care for animals. It was evident that he treated Gracie, Hudson, and Wallis as if they were his own. He went above and beyond in ensuring their comfort and happiness while we were away. Not only did he take care of their physical needs, but he also provided the love and attention they needed to feel secure in our absence. We were initially worried about leaving our fur babies behind while going on vacation, but Kevin's professionalism and compassion quickly put our minds at ease. We could relax knowing that they were in the best hands possible. Kevin kept our home tidy and even watered our plants without us asking, showing his thoughtfulness and responsibility. Upon our return, we could tell that Gracie, Hudson, and Wallis were well taken care of and had formed a strong bond with Kevin. They were happy and content, and we are forever grateful to him for providing such a positive pet-sitting experience. In conclusion, Kevin Sabo is a true gem of a pet sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking someone trustworthy and loving to care for their furry family members. Gracie, Hudson, Wallis, and we, their humans, couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thank you, Kevin, for everything you did for our precious pets! We'll definitely be reaching out to you for future pet sitting needs.”

“I have known Ryan for a couple years now and can say that he is certainly a caring, honest, and responsible young man. I've personally seen on numerous occasions how well he takes care of his own two dogs and how much he loves them so I wouldn't hesitate to have him take care of my own dog if the need arises.”

“Jonathan provided exceptional pet sitting service for our furry family members while we were away. He went above and beyond to ensure our pets were comfortable and well-cared for, adhering to their feeding and medication schedules with precision. His regular updates and photos gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. We returned to happy, healthy pets, and we're grateful for Jonathan's dedication and professionalism. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of reliable pet care."”

“I have known Meg for over 20 years. Meg truly loves animals and I have seen Meg care for many dogs of various breeds, sizes and temperaments. In all cases Meg exhibits a high degree of care and professionalism..I was particularly impressed on two separate occasions where dogs became very sick and Meg quickly got the dogs to the proper animal hospital where care was given . I can highly recommend Meg to anyone who needs any type of assistance for their pets.”

“Daved is the best! My dog has severe anxiety and Daved’s warm energy and patience won my pup over immediately. He was so attentive and sent lots of updates and photos. I highly recommend Daved! Kept up with my dogs medications and weird quirks with such an ease! He also house sat and my house was immaculate when I came home! A perfect pup sitter/house sitter!”

“We 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 Chanel, she was so sweet with the pup and even cooked her a homemade meal when forgot the pups’ dinner. 100% recommend and will use again !”

“Great sitter. Very knowledgeable. Did a great job with our 4 month old pup! Highly recommend!”

About: My pet care experience comes from a combination of my own pets as well as helping a friend with her doggy day care, dog walking and pet nutrition business. I've had a rescue German Shepherd, Darth Vader, for about 6 years now and have had to socialize and rehabilitate him myself. I am very familiar and comfortable with fur babies that may be a little apprehensive of new people and I LOVE big dogs. As my Shepherd enters his senior years I've also become familiar with senior dog care. I love tailoring my routine to the needs of different pets as they all have such unique personalities! I will be fitting my pet care schedule around my two other part time jobs which are both incredibly flexible. I am able to fit drop in visits and potty breaks into both of my work schedules. The safety of your home and pet come first! I am willing and able to follow detailed routines and schedules along with keeping your space clean and respected during house sitting stays. I love dog walking and being active. I know how I am about the care of my own pets and tend to have very high standards so I'd like to offer the same level of care.
