House Sitting in Ingram

“I usually use Rover's boarding option, however, I wasn't able to find anyone in close proximity during this busy summer. With this being my first time using the house sitting service, I was nervous about leaving my dog and opening my home to someone I had just barely met. However, Mahle made this experience less stressful. We established a meet and greet a few days after I initially requested the days I needed a sitter for my dog. She responded promptly to my messages and showed up right on time. She was friendly, interacted and played with Koa as we discussed Koa's schedule and personality. When we were away, I did have to message her to see how everything was going and she responded quickly with updates of my dog and a picture. She was very respectful of my property and most importantly I came home to a happy dog. I feel more at ease using this Rover option and will definitely ask Mahle if she can sit for my dog in the future. Thank you, Mahle!!”

“Natalie once again did a house sit for us. She took great care of our senior toy poodle and our cat. We got daily updates and pictures while we away. Thanks again!”

“Brianna is just the best. She is a really fantastic communicator, and goes out of her way to let me know that my pets are doing great when she is at my house!”

“My first time using Ericka to watch my dog Toby and I'm very pleased with the job she did. She sent me pictures of Toby each day which I enjoyed receiving. Toby requires eye drops 5 times per day so it's a bit of work to care for him. Also pleased that the house was in good order when I returned. I hope to use Ericka again in the future.”

“I appreciated how sweet she was with my older pup!”

“Heather was amazing with my two furry babies. They settled right in and took to her right away. When I got home I could tell not only were they taken care of but my home was as well. She sent multiple pictures at the start of every day with an update on the day previously. My dogs were very happy and comfortable as was I. I am always a nervous wreck leaving my babies but Heather made me feel comfortable. We will definitely be booking with Heather in the future again. Thank you for everything Heather and for treating my dogs like your own. Ollie and Olive miss you already & are looking forward to their next stay with you.”

“Sent pictures, followed instructions, my animals and my house have little particulars that she listened to well, too! My house was clean, animals were well taken care of and happy when I got back ❤️ Would recommend Cayla and will use again! Thanks again.”

Cassidy G.

“Sydney did an AMAZING job watching our dogs. We have one reactive dog and there was some tension in our house between dogs, plus two have medical needs. so I was so so nervous to leave them. Sydney followed all my instructions and she even watched for signs of tension, healthy play, etc. Truly above and beyond—she spent a ton of time at my house and I came back to very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend her to folks like me with dogs that require a sitter who pays extra attention and care!”

Lindsey B.

“Our dog Dunkin was so happy when we returned home! Tells me that Traisaun took great care of him. Appreciated all the pics while we were away!”

Rachel M.

“Maddi was amazing! She sent plenty of photos and was very communicative. She was extremely flexible and accommodating as I had to add an extra day on to the original stay, and I am so grateful for all of her help. When I came home, my pets were all super happy and in great moods!!”

Jordan T.

“Nikki was amazing!! I have a small farm without a farm, haha. All five of my animals really liked her. Even the super shy one. Nikki sent pictures and daily updates. Highly recommend and will absolutely use her again!! Thank you!”

“Tessa was great with our boys while we were away. She communicated everything really well with us and sent us daily update pictures. Will definitely be using her again next time we are going out of town.”

“My first time having someone stay in my home with the pups and we couldn’t have chosen better. Sadie came for a few drop ins to meet the dogs and they took to her immediately. Sadie kept in constant communication with me and left the house as she found it. I was happy to see the pictures of very content pups.”

Kady G.

“I was so comfortable leaving Reina with Serena, she sent pictures everyday to ensure that she was happy. I highly recommend and will be using her in the future.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, including the 4 family dogs I have now. I watched neighbors, family, and friends dogs. My golden retriever and I did a training program where we did intro level training. I am currently on summer break from school, so I am able to work most days. I am willing to adjust schedule to fit the care necessary. My home has an electric fence, but I usually bring my dogs to parks or trails to walk and play. Willing to bring your dogs to parks and trails as well as your yard to play. I love to make any animal comfortable in their home, and cater to them.

“Grace is reliable and accommodating. She communicates as much as desired and, as a bonus, takes stellar videos. My pups were happy to have her take care of them.”

About: Hi, I am Mamie (I have gone by Mamie since birth but am technically named Mary) and I have had dogs, cats, and many smaller critters throughout my life, and my own pets for over 25 years. My mother was a vet tech and I grew up rescuing many animals, and continued that tradition into adulthood, so I have ample experience in a multitude of pet types and situations I work as a housekeeper around the Pittsburgh area from about 7am-3pm mon-thursday, so will not be available in the home or for potty breaks during those hours. The absolute longest I would leave a pet during a house-sitting is 8 hours on those days. All other outings/errands would be less than four hours, tops, but usually only about an hour. I am comfortable with more or less any pet, from rodents to lizards and I am not squirmish about even the creepy crawlies and slithery noodles. I can and have given almost every kind of medication there is, including subcutaneous injections, and am comfortable doing so with care and compassion and confidence. I am just starting out with professional pet sitting on Rover, I did it years ago in Seattle as a side gig on my own with Craigslist posts, and have had a couple gigs on here so far. I am clean, responsible, and trustworthy. I will only take jobs with a meet and greet beforehand, and you can get a feel for my vibe and professionalism at that time, but I am sure you will like me and feel comfortable having me in your home. As a housekeeper I am used to going into strangers homes and having a high level of integrity and care for their space and belongings. I also am very clean and fastidious. I keep things looking like I wasn't there as much as possible, and will clean litter boxes daily and change water bowls daily and do deep cleans of water fountains 1x a week. I work as a housekeeper from 7am-3pm mon-thursday around the greater Pittsburgh area. If you have multiple dogs who need round the clock supervision and you book me at least three weeks before the sitting start date, than we could work that out and I could block out my housekeeping schedule for that time and just be available for the sitting job (my rates will be increased in this situation as I am priced for my current availability, not constant care and being unable to make my normal wages during the sit). I don't do sitting in my own home since I have two cats and a husband and no fenced in yard. In clients homes I am respectful, clean, tidy, responsible and trustworthy. I mind my business and am not judgemental. I will spend lots of time loving and socializing your pets, and I set alarms and try to keep potty breaks frequent to avoid accidents and less stress.

“Melanie was excellent with my anxious dog Barkley. She made sure he got his 2 pills twice a day and I really appreciated her high attention to detail. I will use her, if she is available, anytime I am traveling without hesitation.”

“Mandie did great with our pups and won over our very people shy girls. Will definitely be contacting Mandie in the future!”

“Theresa is a wonderful dog and house sitter! It is obvious when you first meet her that she is a total animal lover, and she assured me time and time again that my girl would be in good hands. She sent very consistent pictures and updates over the week we were away, and always asked if she was unsure about how we would like something done. Will rebook!”
