House Sitting in Lake Five

“Another amazing trip away with Tara to the rescue! She is professional, communicative and amazing with our Texaco! I have such a sense of peace knowing she will be caring for our sweet boy in his own environment! Trust is big for us and she has ours completely! She is a gem and we are so thankful for her! We will use her exclusively!”

About: We lost our sweet Blue (11 year old labradoodle) 3 years ago of bone cancer, and have recently become empty nesters. We LOVE dogs, and our cat has missed his canine companion. Our yard is over an acre, and includes a wooded area. We are also located near beautiful trails that we can walk to. Both of us work from home the majority of the time, and we will only open our home up to furry house guests if we are sure that at least one of us is available to be home the majority of the day. Your dog will love the extra love and attention that they will receive, and we tend to be a bit lenient with letting dogs on furniture/beds. Most of our neighbors own dogs, and there are young children next door. That being said, a dog that is friendly with other dogs and not wary of children would LOVE a vacation with us. I am working part time, and my husband works at least 1/2 of the time from home. We are flexible with dog schedules, and have experience with "elderly" dogs with special needs. We have a large yard (over an acre), which is not fenced in. Our neighborhood connects to walking trails and parks, so your dog will have ample exercise opportunities. We are extremely flexible with our schedules, and can adapt to meet your dog's current routines.

“Joey continues to be the BEST dog sitter for our pups! She loves them and takes amazing care of them with daily updates and pictures. Joey leaves our house clean…probably cleaner than I leave it for her 😁 I recommend her 100%”

“Allison did a superb job with our multiple dogs and cats! We got daily pics and updates from her which helped ease our worries about the care of our pets. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs. We will definitely be using her again and already reserved her for our next trip. Thank you Allison!!”

“Cooper is a kind, reliable pet sitter. I felt completely comfortable having him spend time with my dogs and stay in my home. I’d definitely work with him again and would encourage you to consider him for your needs as well.”

About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.

“Michael had been wonderful and he has helped us out with our two dogs several times. He communicates well and my dogs have been so happy having him stay with them while we are gone. Would recommend him to take care of your pets.”

“Emmalee was great!. I was nervous about using a new pet sitter and she was kind enough to meet with me and my dog and put my mind at ease more than once. She kept regular contact and let me know how things were going and sent me pictures and updates. She is very responsive and caring. I am very glad to have found her !”

“Paul did an awesome job taking care of our elderly dog. It was difficult to leave her with a new dog sitter (our usual sitter got a new job) but after meeting Paul and seeing that Rheyah was immediately comfortable with him, we felt confident that he would take good care of her. Paul made sure that Rheyah took her medicine multiple times per day, fed her a special diet and even gave her a partial bath every other night to treat her chronic skin condition. He also took her for 2 walks per day when the weather permitted. Paul’s frequent photos and descriptions of what he and Rheyah were doing helped to calm my anxiety about leaving her with someone new. Not only did Paul take care of Rheyah, but he also fed my fish and managed to keep my not-so-healthy plants alive! We are very grateful that Paul’s profile came up on Rover and that he agreed to take care of Rheyah so that we could attend our granddaughter’s 1st birthday. We highly recommend Paul to anyone who needs a conscientious caring pet sitter!”

“Our Chunks loved hanging out with Rowan! He got lots of excersize, love, and play time and is now sleeping peacefully because he had so much fun! Definitely will be using her again!”

“Anne did an amazing job with our dog. I would highly recommend her on Rover.”

“My experience in working with Taylor was excellent. Great communicator and most importantly cared for my 10yr lab while out in a work trip. Taylor went above and beyond what was required as she left the house spotless, and washed bedding and bathroom towels before leaving.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of many temperaments, so caring for them has come naturally since I was young. I’ve helped friends and neighbors with their dogs, from playful puppies to the most anxious worriers and senior companions, prioritizing the mental and physical well-being of each one. I’m comfortable giving oral medications and happy to learn injections with guidance. I also work at a doggie daycare and love the work. I’m available most Fridays to Sundays, with flexible mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I enjoy keeping pets on regular routines and caring for them helps me stay active, spend time outdoors, and maintain a consistent daily schedule. I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable by closely supervising them, keeping their environment clean and secure, and paying attention to their individual needs and routines. I handle all pets with patience and care, whether in my home or yours, and prioritize trust, consistency, and a calm, pet-friendly environment.

“We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in Wendy’s care. She was super accommodating for our last minute request . Left the house in great shape and left a nice hand written note . Dogs were well cared for ! Would definitely use Wendy again .”

“Amber is fantastic! Very reliable, sends photos of our fur babies and updates throughout her stay. She is a great house sitter and leaves our home as it was when we left. I highly recommend Amber if you are in need of a caring, considerate, and excellent communicator to watch your dogs. 🐕 🐾🩵”

“Heather was so sweet and understood our animals are our family. She sent pictures throughout her stay which really put my mind at ease. We will book Heather again for the future!!”

About: Hi, I’m Ellie! A little about me, I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals from cats and dogs to birds and snakes! And I’ve loved going above and beyond to care for them, for as long as I can remember. I have a 10 year old pup myself (Toby) that has helped me understand the dedication and commitment required when caring for pet; especially during a time that might be a bit difficult or confusing for them. I’ve also learned that each pet has their own personality and I will adapt my care to be able to provide exactly what your pet needs. In addition to pet care, I’ll also be able to provide other house sitting needs such as watering plants, gathering mail or anything else that may be needed.
