House Sitting in Independence

“Fiona was wonderful! Communication was great, we loved the photos and videos she sent. The pups were so happy when we got back. We will definitely book with her again!”

“This was my time using Rover and David made it a great experience. He came by to meet Isabelle and see the job to make sure we were both comfortable. He answered some questions about how Rover works. I was mid-flight when he arrived and he reached out to me to let me know how Isabelle was doing. And he was very prompt in responding when I asked for updates.”

“It was awesome meeting Leanna, and I felt totally at ease leaving my pup in her care over Labor Day weekend. If I could give 6 stars, I would. Super professional, super responsive—any time I reached out, she got back to me within minutes, which really gave me peace of mind. This was my first time using Rover, and thanks to Leanna, it was a great experience. I’d happily recommend her to friends and family. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Kelly was amazing! She communicated with us multiple times each day. My dog gets separation anxiety and normally hides in my closet or under my bed the entire time we're away from home. Didn't happen this time. He bonded with her so well that he actually played with her and stayed in the living room with her! Definitely hope to have Kelly house sit for us again in the future!”

“Stephanie made sure our cats were loved and cared for while we were away! She was perfectly communicative and even stayed a few hours longer when our flight was delayed!”

Cat R.

“McKenna was amazing! This was my first time leaving my pups home for the weekend and having someone come house sit. McKenna helped put my mind at ease when we did the meet and greet. One of my pups left an unexpected surprise (my pup threw a tantrum and destroyed a furniture) for McKenna and she was so nice and cleaned it up for me. I came home to happy pups and I would recommend her. I’d have her back!”

Sarah H.

“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.

“Christy was great with our dogs, and I really appreciated the level of communication and pictures. Very responsive and reliable, and had availability to help over the holidays.”

Stephanie C.

“Alyssa was amazing! We have an elderly 15 year-old Jack Russel who needs a lot of care, and she did a great job looking after him. She also did house sitting while we were away, and the house looks better than we left it. Highly recommend. I will definitely ask her to sit for us again. Thanks!”

“Molly was great with our two dogs Doc and Harper! Honestly, I don’t have anything bad to say. I chose her based off a recommendation from my parents who she has done some house sitting with. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy her company and our house was left in wonderful condition. Molly went above and beyond taking care of things at the house while my wife and I enjoyed our vacation! Our mail, packages, bed sheets, and even the dog poop was taken care of! Thanks Molly you rock!”

Robert G.

“Christopher took great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures. I had a water leak a couple days before I was leaving and was great about being there for maintenance to come while I was gone”

About: I started taking care of animals when I was really young I think around 6 years old I would take care of my neighbor's dog was a little Pomeranian when they would go places. Also my neighbor had a Irish setter that I would go visit all the time and she would give me a dollar to walk her around the block or talking at least 48 years ago and I still remember it to this day it was one of the best times in my life when I was young. I think I've decided that I want to dedicate my life to this I mean what's left of it anyway lol I've been working with people most of my life and I thought I'd give this a try so daily routine and weekly routine would be up to the customer and it would be your preference after all you're the boss right? I've been a caregiver since 1998 of people I had five background checks last year for the state of Oregon I work for Oregon health Care commission and I'm a caregiver I passed five of them so you would not have to worry about me being in your home I would offer the services that you were requesting and you would also go beyond even more than what you would expect I think I would be a good fit with for anybody I'm an older lady and I've got a lot of grandchildren so I figured taking care of your for a babies and I would treat them like my grandbabies or you would say fur babies. Customer would be my boss so therefore I would do what they would ask.

“Had a wonderful experience with Rachel. Kindly offered an initial meet + greet. Pups and house appeared well maintained upon our return. We received some regular updates throughout the stay. Grateful for her help and would absolutely book again.”

Justine S.

“McKenzie, was fabulous! We came home to very happy pups, and the house was spotless. We received many pictures and updates which helped us enjoy our vacation. We have already booked her again!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs in a personal and professional scene since I was 10. I volunteer at a local humane society, and work at a local vet clinic; your pet is in safe hands! I’m currently working part-time and will be at a local college in the fall, I will make sure that my calendar does not overlap with my education or work so that I can give your pet my full attention! I have multiple leashes in my vehicle that I will bring with me so that your fur baby can get the exercise they need. In case of a park visit, I have a vehicle that I can easily transport your dog to and from the park in.

“Kortney took great care of our pup and home and left everything in spotless condition. She’ll be our first choice next time we’re in need of a sitter!”

Alexis C.

“We always have peace of mind when Jane is taking care of our pets. She’s responsible, professional, and a great communicator. She had to deliver some very unfortunate and tragic news to us while we were away as our kitty was hit by a car. She was so sensitive and caring and handled a very stressful situation with compassion. We are very grateful to have Jane as a pet sitter.”

Michelle R.

“Aiden and Hunter took exceptional care of our fur babies- even winning over our shy cat and socially awkward pup! When we returned home, all three pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. This was a last minute booking and they immediately put us at ease with excellent communication and regular updates throughout their stay. They truly went above and beyond, even washing the linens on the guest bed before they left. They genuinely care about the animals they look after- we will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 5 years and have hands-on experience with large breeds, working dogs, reactive dogs, and high-energy personalities. I currently own German Shepherds as well as two chinchillas, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, structure, enrichment, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m comfortable with crate routines, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, long walks, litter box care, feeding routines, and reading animal body language. My professional background in high-stress environments has also made me calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m still able to provide dependable drop-in care and quality engagement for pets. I’m available for evening drop-in visits during the weekdays and can provide up to two visits per day on weekends. During visits, I focus on more than just feeding and potty breaks — I make sure pets receive attention, enrichment, playtime, affection, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m especially attentive to routines, behavioral cues, and making animals feel safe and relaxed in their home environment. Safety, structure, and trust are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I have experience with large breeds, reactive dogs, cats, and small animals, so I understand the importance of reading body language, respecting boundaries, and maintaining calm, controlled interactions. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, crate rotations, leash handling, and household rules. I prioritize secure handling during walks and visits, double-check doors, gates, harnesses, and crates, and always aim to create a calm and positive environment for pets. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to help owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

“Sandor has been taking care of my three dogs multiple times during the past year and half both for daily and multiday stays. Always dependable with great communications. Highly recommend him. Thanks Sandor.”
