House Sitting Image

“Cameryn was extremely open with me about her choices and how that would work with Baker. I believe she is honest and especially very caring and does what she says! This was our first time away from Baker over night and without relatives. He managed well and was not even sure we were gone because he STAYED AT HIS OWN HOME! I am very grateful!!!”

“All the wonderful comments about Anthea were validated in our first experience having her stay in our home to care for our aging kitty. Anthea took wonderful care of our girl, who is extremely timid and shy. Anthea gained trust to the point of being able to give her meds and provided thoughtful insight about her care. As others have noted, Anthea is extremely knowledgeable about pets (and many other things). Our home was left in pristine condition. As retirees who enjoy travelling, but are always concerned about leaving our precious girl by herself, Anthea was the perfect solution. We highly recommend Anthea for your pet care needs!”

“Erika and Cristopher were absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Kailo & Kiara. We received lots of pictures and thoughtful updates every day, which helped us feel completely at ease while traveling. When we came home, the house was immaculately clean and the dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well‑cared for. They went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave our pups. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive sitters.”

About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, many cats, and other pets! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I trained in basic obedience as well as agility-course tricks (although I am not a formally trained or certified dog trainer), and cats. More recently, I’ve pet-sat for the cats and dogs of family and friends. This has included caring for an older pet with mobility limitations and a pet with complex health needs and a medication schedule. I understand how important it is to follow an owner’s care instructions carefully, especially when medications or special routines are involved. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to play, provide enrichment, groom, go for walks, or simply give plenty of attention and snuggles while their people are away. I’ve even walked cats! I’m detail-oriented and appreciate thorough care instructions. As a graduate researcher, I’m accustomed to following detailed protocols, keeping careful track of schedules, and paying close attention to small changes—skills I also bring to caring for animals. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. As a graduate researcher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care throughout my day. My research schedule varies from week to week, but I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can reliably accommodate. For house sitting, I’m able to spend mornings, evenings, and overnight with your pets while working around my university responsibilities during the day. Because much of my academic work can be done on my laptop, I can often study, read, or write from your home while keeping your pets company. For drop-in visits, I plan visits around my daily schedule and make sure I have enough time to provide attentive care rather than rushing through a visit. I appreciate having a few days of advance notice whenever possible so I can plan my schedule around your pet’s routine and care needs. I know that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, walks, litter-box care, and any household or safety precautions. I’m detail-oriented and genuinely appreciate thorough written instructions, especially for pets with medical needs or established routines. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, normal behavior, feeding and bathroom habits, medications or health concerns, and anything that might frighten or trigger them. For dogs, I also want to know about leash behavior and how they respond to other dogs, people, wildlife, and unfamiliar situations. I respect each animal’s boundaries and won’t force interaction with a pet who is frightened or wants space. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, or mobility and will communicate with you promptly if something seems unusual. In an emergency, I will follow your emergency-care instructions and contact you and/or your designated veterinarian as appropriate. When house sitting or providing drop-in care, I treat your home respectfully and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secured when I enter or leave. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Sarah was great with our 2 crazy dogs!”

“Amy is exceptionally professional and loving. Charley responded to her quickly during our meet and greet. Amy took great care of our home and went above and beyond during her stay.”

Michael G.

“Took the booking on a last minute noticed. Was only for a half a day, but went above and beyond with the activities to keep him busy. Was absolutely amazing!”

Alan S.

“Kristen was a thorough and prompt communicator and awesome with our critters! Our anxious dog and cat warmed up to her quickly and she was able to navigate a troublesome toilet issue while we were gone. She is great and we appreciated her house sitting!”

Annalise H.

“Caitlin was an absolutely phenomenal dogsitter! She took the time to really understand what Delly's needs would be, and went absolutely out of her way to keep her engaged and entertained for the entire stay. She is a phenomenal communicator and takes her job very seriously. We are looking forward to having her back to watch Delly in the future!”

Lindsay S.

“Shani was exceptional with her communication and asked me questions whenever she needed clarification or additional details. Shani was proactive in reviewing the instructions I sent ahead of time. Shani stayed at my house for 4 days with my 12-week-old puppy and we all know a puppy can be a lot of work! I arrived home to a happy puppy and my house was spotless. Shani cleaned up every poo and put everything away exactly how it was, she wiped paws so the puppy wasn't dragging in extra dirt. It was so nice to come home and know my puppy was taken care of the way I would. Shani sent pictures throughout the time and was very responsive if I checked in. I would highly recommend her!”

Adrienne H.

“Paul did an excellent job watching our animals and house while we were out of town. Jan kept us updated with how things were going while we were away and sent us lots of pictures throughout Paul's whole stay. We came home to a clean and orderly house and happy pets. We can't wait to have Paul sit for us again the next time we go out of town!”

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, birds, and invertebrates. I’ve also worked at a pet store for the last year and a half so I have some knowledge on freshwater fish as well as experience administering medications to animals. I’m currently only working part time, about 12-18 hours a week, so I have more than enough time to check on and play with your pets! I’m super flexible and want to do anything I can to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as they possibly can be while their humans aren’t home!

“Zihan was absolutely wonderful. We were so happy with her and our puppies loved her. She will definitely be invited back.”

Mary B.

“Went above and beyond watching our two dogs. We had a very last minute trip planned the day before we left and Kayden was very professional and quick to respond. Our two dogs were super happy and clearly very comfortable and well taken care of when we got home. We got lots of pictures and videos throughout our trip and got regular updates on how the dogs were doing. He followed all instructions and even our smaller dog who can be shy and afraid of new people became his shadow and played with him the whole time we were gone. Kayden even left our house cleaner than when he arrived. He is clearly very compassionate and caring towards animals and we will definitely hire him again for our next trip!”

Jensen R.

“Ren was great with our 2 dogs. We booked on pretty short notice and everything still went very smoothly. Our dogs seemed very happy in pics Ren sent while we were gone and when we returned. She took great care of the house, too! Very pleasant and professional, we'll definitely book her again.”

Rick S.

“Venessa was great! Our Poe needs constant supervision due to anxiety and the fact that she is a remote worker worked perfect for what we needed! Great at communicating and sending photos!”

Melissa R.

“Madelyn is the best sitter we’ve ever had. She’s attentive, helpful when things go awry, communicative, respectful and overall amazing. My girls seemed to have really enjoyed their time with her! I will most definitely be reaching out again!”

Belle T.

“Salem took great care of all three of our animals over the holidays and kept us super up to date with how they were doing. He kept up with medication and training and left the house super tidy.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for them. I currently care for seven chickens, which has taught me responsibility, consistency, feeding, and paying close attention to their needs. I’ve also cared for my mom’s dog while she was away and helped care for my sister’s puppy. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love the opportunity to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. While I’m not quite ready to have a pet of my own, pet sitting feels like the perfect way for me to spend time with animals and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’m currently taking two classes on Monday and Wednesday mornings, each for about two hours. I also enjoy going to the gym and have a flexible schedule around my seven-year-old son’s school schedule. I’m usually up around 7 AM and have plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m happy to communicate with each pet parent and work together to find a schedule that works well for everyone. I’m very attentive to detail and always make your pet’s safety and comfort a priority. I understand that some owners prefer minimal communication while they’re away, so I try to respect that while still keeping them updated when needed. If I’m ever unsure about something, I’ll always ask rather than make assumptions. My home has plenty of space for pets to relax and play, along with a fully fenced backyard where they can safely go potty and enjoy some outdoor time. We have a calm, quiet home with few people coming and going, which helps pets feel comfortable. There is usually someone home, so pets are rarely left alone. If they do need to be alone, it would typically be no longer than 2–3 hours.

About: I've taken care of lots of pets through my years and I love every second of it! I'm very compassionate and very big on loving your furry friends and caring for them while you're away. Always open to every type of animal, even our scaly friends too. I'm always up for the job when it comes to our lovely best friends to be able to let them have the best experience they can get. Im always available ! every day has something going on. grooming, walking, play times, and its awesome! if I'm not walking an animal or grooming them I'm hanging out with them or showing them new places they have never been before or having different experiences everyday. I always give them love every second i get, always will be respectful to not only the animal but the owner as well and things that are set for me to do with their loved ones, and to show that they are well taken care of when you're away from home
