House Sitting in Kettering

“Our experience with Leesa was fantastic. Leesa proved to be a conscientious and detail-oriented sitter. Before our engagement even began, Leesa asked to come to our house to meet our dogs so she could get an understanding of their behavior and daily routine. She was attentive and receptive to all the nuances that go into their daily routine and she was also very careful to always ask questions and permission if there was something she wanted to do (e.g., prepare home-cooked doggy treats). Leesa was also very keen to replicate routines and keep old habits going strong. For example, she recorded me putting our dogs collars/leashes on so as to not disrupt the pre-walk routine that the dogs have become used to. She also picked up on a few commands that our dogs knew, and wanted to be sure to use them. Leesa was flexible (as she came to our home a few hours earlier than originally planned) and reliable with photos and updates during the stay. My wife and I were leaving town for the weekend and, as most couples do, found ourselves hurried and late. Leesa arrived and immediately stepped in, taking the dogs on a walk. She wanted to make sure that we could finish packing and hit the road without the distraction of the dogs trying to stay good-bye. Leesa gave regular reports on the dogs while we were away and continued to be mindful of anything she thought might be worth asking. Not once did I get the impression that things could go south--she seemed 100% in control. Leesa was also as gracious a guest in our home as one could ask. We returned to a hand-written, welcome-home note and two dogs that were (seemingly) better behaved than when we left. All in all, our experience with Leesa was terrific, and we hope to be able to repeat with her as often as she'll let us.”

“Liesa did a great job. She followed instructions and stayed a little after due to our concert going late. It was a long day and we had to leave Lily alone a couple of times already, so her willingness to stay after was a big help. We received pictures of our little girl and she was easy to communicate with.”

“Hailee coordinated very well with us and pivoted as our plans changed. She sent pics as she visited and shared any concerns that came up. We look forward to trying her and Manny again!”

“Jennifer was great. I had to find a sitter on very late notice and she was able to accommodate. My dog took to her right away (which is atypical... There's usually at least a few barks and being skittish). She sent me pictures and had no issues at all!”

“Monroe did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and was very flexible. I have a lot of anxiety leaving them and she did a good job checking in and letting me know how they were doing. Definitely would book with her again!”

“Lisa took the best care of my babies while I was away. It was very apparent that she gave them the same degree of quality time that I give them myself. Would definitely request her services again if needed in the future.”

“Shana was so wonderful with our fur baby. He’s an older dog and knew he would be in great hands with Shana. Shana is very responsive and kept us updated while we were gone. We will definitely use Shana from now on.”

“Rebecca is a kind and thoughtful person and is passionate about her love for animals. She has been a loving dog mom many times and her fur babies have always had exceptional care and attention. She is great with both small and large breeds. She is an amazing caregiver!”

“Kate went above and beyond to ensure the comfort and safety of my four dogs during a 5 day vacation. I would recommend her to anyone that really wants care and attention for their pups. Kate is, without a doubt, the best rover sitter I’ve used.”

“Danni has regularly taken care of my 7 lbs. cat and 80 lbs. German Shepherd. She's welcomed by both of my pets, and they love seeing her. Danni takes great care of them and takes her time to play with them so they aren't lonely. Very prompt, conscientious, and loving would be the top three traits I would say describes Danni's care for my pets. Highly recommended.”

“Shelby is an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of our dog while we were away for a week. This was our first time using Rover and Shelby single handedly exceeded our expectations! She was very attentive to Hazel’s every need. I know Hazel had a great week filled with lots of fun outdoors on walks or playing fetch with her frisbee. She even took it upon herself to bring her own treats and toys that she gave to hazel. We will definitely be using Shelby in the future!”

“I have known Rebecca for 30 years. She is very responsible and trustworthy. I would feel very comfortable having her watch my pets and house and follow any detailed instructions. Your house and your pets will be in good hands with Rebecca.”

In addition, I love cats and all other animals. I am not averse to new experiences. If you have a bird, rabbit, chicken, turtle, hamster, lizard, snake (etc., etc.) that needs care, I'm your man!

“Britt shows our dogs the exact love and attention that we do! I know they feel safe and loved when she’s with them given their excitement when she walks in the door, which makes leaving them much easier! She checks in often, and we always come home to a clean house and happy dogs!”

“She was wonderful with my puppy! He’s recently adopted so we were working on separation anxiety and first dog parent concerns. Claire was so helpful and patient.”

“Andrea was awesome! She sent me photos and updated me throughout the day and made sure Frankie was all taken care of! I highly recommend her!”

“My sister does a great job when she's over to dogsit my German Shepherd, Bear. He's super needy and requires a lot of attention, but she has no problem wearing him out. She also cat sits for my wife and I and does a wonderful job making sure they're well taken care of. Bear absolutely loves her and often tries to go home with her afterwards.”

“Ioana is wonderful! She kept me updated on my dogs well being, as well as sending me pictures too. I would more than happily say that you should consider her sitting for your pet!!!”

“I am generally pretty anxious when I leave my pets for any length of time. Nanea completely understood this and texted me every day with an update on activities, appetites, and any general behaviors that she thought I might like to know. In addition, she offered to send pictures whenever I wanted. I have no hesitation in leaving my pets in Nanea's care, knowing she will go above and beyond for both their benefit and mine”

“I have worked with Mike for the last 12 years. His love of dogs is very apparent in his everyday life. He has owned his own dogs for as long as I've known him and has started fostering dogs in the last few years and takes wonderful care of them. I would trust him wholeheartedly with my pet.”
