House Sitting in Independence

“Rosie was great watching our dogs for a long weekend. We really appreciated how methodical and attentive she was, asking and taking notes on all the little parts of their foods/meds/routine/preferences. We felt really comfortable having her in our home and trusting her with our doggos. Would recommend and would work with again.”

“Nadiya did such a wonderful job with my 9-week-old puppy! It was my first time leaving him and I was so worried about it but she was so attentive and communicative I knew he was being taken great care of and having a great time. She clearly really cares for and loves all the animals she looks after and I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Sandor's experience dog-sitting Raphael was nothing short of amazing. Throughout their time together, they forged a bond that was built on trust, love, and endless fun. Through the pictures Sandor sent, I could see that Raphael was filled with joy and happiness, creating lasting memories that will undoubtedly be cherished by both of them. Thank-you, Sandor!”

“Stephanie and Spencer are always great with the dogs and catching up on any news related to their care. Seems like one dog always has a medical issue before I go out of town. They are flexible and responsive with last minute changes. Stephanie was waiting with the dogs as we had a late arrival. Highly recommend! Thanks!”

“We are new to Rover but Christy helped us feel secure in our new venture. She paid close attention to everything I shared with her and asked good questions, and she clearly loves dogs. She sent us lot of pictures while we were gone so we were confident everything was going well. Thanks Christy for helping us enjoy our weekend away.”

Helen E.

“We were very happy with Molly. Molly took great care of our dog while we were out of town and provided great feedback. She was good with her dog medication and also her special needs because she is older. We will definitely use Molly in the future again.”

“Sarah did a great job housesitting and came and went as promised and left my place in good shape. My picky critters seemed quite content when I got home, so that's a good sign!”

Cara F.

“I am so grateful to have found David! He did an excellent job watching my babies while I was out of town. He went above and beyond and for that I am truly grateful. I could tell when I got back the girls just loved him.”

“Elizabeth was an amazing dog sitter to have while we were away. One of our dogs is very shy and has physical limitations but she put in the extra time and effort to make sure he was comfortable and safe. She kept us updated with messages and pictures to help us feel comfortable, too. She also kept our Guinea pigs fed and watered, which is appreciated since you can’t list rodents on here, and even offered to do some clean up. We will definitely hire her again!”

Alison L.

“Kelly went so above and beyond with our animals, we are so grateful we found her! She spent time with each and every one of our animals making sure they all felt comfortable. We won’t be going with any other sitter if we can help it in the future.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with cats, rabbits, hamsters, chicks, and ducks. Since 2018, I’ve raised a leash-reactive rescue dog, working through behavior training, crate training, and potty training. He’s now a well-adjusted senior, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet behavior, patience, and compassionate care. I’m currently pursuing my nursing degree and seeking part-time work. I’m flexible throughout the week, with availability after 4pm on Saturdays. Reliable and consistent. I’m committed to providing dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care situation. While I prefer to care for pets in their own home to maintain their routine and reduce stress, I’m also able to welcome them into mine if needed. I have a securely fenced yard, a calm and friendly senior dog, and a clean, pet-friendly space where your fur baby will feel safe and loved. My goal is always to provide a nurturing environment that supports your pet’s well-being, whether in your home or mine.

“Jane was great with our pets. Both of them warmed up to her quickly which gave us peace of mind. She communicated wonderfully and sent pics. We came home to happy pets and a tidy house. Thank you so much Jane!”

Michelle R.

“Elizabeth was the BEST! Fiona already truly misses her and was waiting by the door when she left 🥹 I can tell she was exercised well and loved well. Fiona was truly spoiled (in the best way) and we will absolutely use Elizabeth the next time we need someone to walk or sit Fi. Our house was super clean, maybe cleaner than we left it, and my plants were also well taken care of!”

“We had such a great experience with Taylor as our pet sitter! I was especially nervous about leaving our older dog, who usually refuses to eat when we’re gone. But to my surprise (and relief), he ate breakfast and dinner every day—which tells me he felt safe, loved, and well cared for. Both of our dogs clearly got a lot of attention while we were away. Taylor sent us daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated. It was so nice to know how things were going and to see our pups looking happy. She was incredibly easy to work with—very responsible, responsive, and easygoing. I felt comfortable with her from the start, and that peace of mind is priceless when you’re leaving your pets behind. When we arrived back our home was cleaned and laundry ready to go. We’ll absolutely be using her again for future trips. Highly recommend!”

“Erin was AMAZING! We are so thankful to of found and worked with her. She took such good care of our pups. One senior and one adult dog plus a cat. She made them feel at peace while we were away and couldn't of asked for a better outcome. Will work with her again.”

Kris Cass M.

“Thank you Phillip so much for coming and staying and housesitting with my two dogs lolly and Putter. You gave them excellent care took care of my household and everything looked beautiful When I got home. You kept in touch with me sending me pictures. You’re the best and I will absolutely request you again. Thank you so much. I so appreciate you.”

Debra N.

“Gavin was a life saver as he was willing to come sit for us without much notice as we had a sitter cancel last minute. He sent pictures, played with Blu and ensured he had no accidents in the house! Would definitely use him again!”

Annemarie M.

“Absolutely amazing she took such great fantastic care of Macy !!! Definitely a 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ plus sitter Recommend her highly !!! NOW however...my experience using "Rover" itself was extremely disappointing and dissatisfying!!!! Trying to communicate with your company was beyond difficult!!! Besides your cancelling my reservation.. without my authorization..every time I tried to contact you all I got was the run around from very unprofessional people. Who refused to answer any of my questions or concerns. Were rude and uninformed as to how to help me. I will NEVER use your company again!!! And certainly will not recommend anyone else use you !!!”
