House Sitting in Independence

“Rachel is a phenomenal sitter! We haven’t used rover in a while due to previous bad experiences but she MORE than made up for it! I’m so glad I reached out to her. Our huskies were so well taken care of, they were happy as could be in the numerous picture updates she sent me, I knew the details of their day and they got to go on several walks. She even went above and beyond and cleaned up areas of our home before we got back. She not only cared for our pups but took amazing care of our home as well. I will definitely be booking her again! Best rover experience ever and we have tried several people. It’s so nice to go on a trip and not stress over your pets and know they won’t miss us.”

“Took excellent care of Pasha and Eadan! Both seem happy and content upon my return. Very flexible with my stubborn shiba and his quirks with food and taking medicine he is currently on. Thank you so much!!”

“Ariel was fantastic! Couldn’t say anything better. We’ve used multiple people from Rover to watch our pups and she’s outshined all of them. We came home to an even cleaner house than what we left, happy dogs, and even Christmas music left on for them when nobody was home.”

“Laura was easy going, even when a wind storm took off a shutter, and took good care of Steve! Left us a sweet note and gift too! House was in good order. Thanks!”

“Blair watched our dog for 4 days while we were out of town. Communication was easy and we got lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay! Our pup seemed very happy!”

“This was the second time Sean stayed with my dogs. They seem very relaxed and well cared for, he’s attentive and spends quality time with them.”

Marcie R.

“Madison was great! We felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs with her. She even cleaned up after herself and washed the bedding! I would recommend Madison to anyone looking for a great in home dog sitter!”

About: I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs, starting with my own two spoiled pups—a sweet 10-year-old Pitbull and a high-energy 3-year-old Weimaraner. I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I know how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or a calm, steady routine, they’ll be treated like one of my own. As a teacher, I’m home full-time during the summer and have a flexible schedule during the school year. I’m available before and after school, on weekends, and most holidays. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll work around your pet’s routine to keep them happy, safe, and stress-free. I’m unable to house pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in their own environment where they feel most comfortable. I provide personalized care based on your pet’s routine—regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and any special attention they may need. I also have a friendly 3-year-old Weimaraner who loves meeting new friends and can tag along for visits if your pet enjoys company. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority!

“Brooklyn was the best and took such good care of our pups! She bought our dogs toys, took them for walks, and sent updates everyday with lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her!”

“Sydney is amazing with both my dogs and cats. My shy calico who never comes out for anyone (including family she’s known her whole life) comes and out and hangs out with her. I never need to worry about my animals when traveling for work and everything is clean when I get home. Dogs are happy, cats are happy, I’m happy.”

“Jordan met my pets before house sitting. I could tell right away that he was interested in my 2 dogs and a cat. He got down on their level and rubbed ears and neck exactly as they prefer. He was wonderful even doing little chores around the house unasked but very appreciated. All my pets are on meds and he managed them without difficulty even my cat’s ear med. Usually when I get home, my cat cries for a day as she is so happy to be back on her routine with me. This time she hardly peeped, letting me know that Jordan had been a pretty good substitute. I really wish I could keep Jordan a secret but I guess I need to share how good he is.”

About: I have had a cat my whole life, so having grown up with them, I enjoy taking care of them! I also have 3 dogs in my family, a Pomeranian, German Shepherd, and Aussie Doodle, and I periodically take care of all of them. I'm excited to learn about your pet’s individual needs, whether it be spontaneous playtimes, a relaxed brush/petting session, or their favorite foods and treats, I'll be happy to spend time with and get to know your pets. I’d love to walk your dogs as well! Having had pets with different illnesses, I'm familiar with and comfortable giving a cat or dog oral medicine if need be, and I'm used to the messes pets tend to make and am willing to clean up any messes I have pets with unique diets and medical histories, so I'm capable of working around your pet’s personal needs! As a college student who works in retail, pet care will be an as needed activity depending on my schedule for the week. I am willing to work around some schedule conflicts! I will treat your home with kindness and keep it clean for your return. If you have any rules on where certain items belong, please let me know!

About: I know the importance of listening to the directions of owners because we all want our fur babies to be safe while we are away. I have lived with dogs since I was 13 years old. I’m currently working part-time and getting my graduate degree. I have a flexible schedule outside of my working and school hours. I am able to stop in and check on a loved one when I am available and ensure they are well taken cared of. I follow the directions and needs of each person. It’s important to be respectful of what owners expect out of outside care and assistance. For drop-in visits and walking I’ll ensure the dog has enough entertainment, food, and water.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and I have been helping take care of my family friend’s pets for a few years now. I love animals and I love being able to help and take care of them!! I also like to walk and run so I can take your pets on all the walks or runs they want/need! I am currently working part time and I am a college student but I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals!! I have a great manageable schedule to fit your animals needs into my weekly routines!! I have an invisible fence to keep my dog in along with a white picket fence and a nice front and back yard to allow her to play in.

About: I’ve taken care of 10 dogs most of my life. My parents love animals so i’ve always been around different kind of animals. They currently have 3 bunnies, guinea pigs, 9 cocker spaniels and 1 lab, and 2 cats. When they are away i am the main person to take care of them since they also foster and i’m the oldest kid in the family. I really know how to care for animals. I had a senior dog , izzy who had cancer and i did my best to make her feel cared for through the time she had left. I really take my time caring for dogs with special needs and who are older, they need fun and love. My favorite thing is to play ball with them and i have lots of toys that they can choose from to play with 😁 I’m 18 i’m currently working part time but i make my own shedule as needed, so i have a bunch of time to play with your pups! My girlfriend also is living with me and she loves animals. she’s had dogs, cats, fish, horses, and other animals that she’s taken care of. i am available monday-sunday for most of the day. if you have an emergency or just going on a vacation i will always be able to care for your pups. I have a fenced yard, i have a cocker spaniel and a border collie mix. They are very sweet and love having a new friend to play with.

“Courtney is fantastic! She stayed at my house while away on a girls trip and took wonderful care of my dogs & guinea pigs. Courtney sent me pictures everyday of my fur babies and has great communication. Highly recommend her!!”

About: I used to babysit all my friends dogs when they went out of town for weeks at a time and the dogs were always in good hands! Potty breaks, new toys, baths if needed! I treat them like my own! Im currently working full time, but im able to do walks or visits after work or full time on the weekends! I'm also in college, but I do it all online, so I have lots of free time on the weekends. I love going the extra mile for every dog as if they’re my own! I love tiring out dogs and ensuring they have the most fun possible because they definitely deserve it!
