House Sitting Lakeville

“This was Kat's first time sitting for our kitten Peanut, and she exceeded our expectations across the board. Communication was excellent — she shared regular updates and sent us genuinely fun photos that we loved getting throughout the trip. When we hit an unexpected schedule change, Kat was completely accommodating and made it a non-issue. The house was just as clean as we left it. She followed everything we asked, from the litter box routine to stripping the bed before we got back. Most importantly, Peanut was visibly happy and well-adjusted when we returned — you can always tell when a sitter has actually engaged with your pet, and she clearly had. Peanut was so comfortable with Kat that we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. We will absolutely have her sit for Peanut again. Highly recommend.”

“We have hired Joanna twice now for our geriatric, three-legged dog. She is great and sends pics throughout the stay. Our dog needs to use a cart for his daily walk and meds twice a day and Joanna had no trouble with handling that. Highly recommend!”

About: I've cared for dogs with very different personalities including Zina, an extremely sweet and anxious pit bull; Dash, an achey senior dachshund; and Magz, a particularly yappy and occasionally snappy little cheweenie (aka football). I have a soft spot for dogs who need a little extra love and attention, but I have yet to find a dog I don't like. Over the years, I've learned to accommodate all sorts of canine preferences: taking things slow and steady with a n anxious dog, keeping a velcro dog attached to my hip while managing other tasks, or staying mindful when a pup needs to sniff every single leaf in the neighborhood twice a day. I'm attentive to body language, facial expressions (we love a dog with eyebrows!), and changes in behavior, and I always try to assess what a dog's individual behavior means rather than assuming I know. I'm experienced with feeding routines, walks, brushing, home baths, oral medication, and simple topical treatments. I'm conscientious about following your instructions, err on the side of caution, and will communicate if anything seems off. I want to understand what makes your dog //your dog* and make sure their usual routines, preferences, and little rituals are looked after while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, primarily on weekends, and am otherwise a visual artist with a flexible schedule. Best times for me are weekday afternoons, evenings, and weekend evenings. When I'm caring for pets in their own home, I try to keep things as familiar and predictable as possible. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and settling in for the evening, while paying attention to how they're doing and what they seem to need that day. I know that having someone new around can be a little strange, so I let animals warm up in their own time and try to make my presence feel like a comfortable part of their routine. I'm conscientious about the practical things, too: keeping food and supplies where they belong, making sure doors and gates are secure, cleaning up after pets, and leaving the house as I found it. I'm comfortable staying overnight and spending extended time in clients' homes, and I treat someone's space with the same consideration I'd hope for in my own. I'm also respectful of privacy and household boundaries. I follow care instructions carefully and will reach out if I have questions or notice anything unusual. I'm happy to send photos and updates while you're away, too. My aim is for you to come home to a happy pet and a house that's just as you left it.

About: I have a dog of my own, Dax, who I absolutely adore, so I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve been caring for pets for years and have experience with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m very active and love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and giving dogs plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. I’m responsible, caring, and patient, and I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I’m especially available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I love being active and spending time outdoors with dogs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I’m attentive, responsible, and will always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I have a dog of my own, Dax, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibilities that come with caring for a pet. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love.

About: I’ve had pets all of my life and my friends entrust me to take of their fur babies on a regular basis. I love animals more than humans a lot of the time. I’m a stay at home mom and my kids are older now so I have lots of time to do what I love which is walk and hike and be outdoors. And it’s all the more fun if I can have a dog with me! I will care for your babies as if they were my own! And follow all of your instructions and make sure everything is done exactly as you want it.

“Emma took great care of our puppy Sprite and our home while we were out of town. Emma is communicative, kind and respectful. She came to meet our puppy after we made the booking, and sent us picture updates of Sprite while we were gone. I would book Emma again.”

“Pat was wonderful! She stepped up for me at the last minute and took loving care of my pup and home for the weekend. She sent photos and even indulged my pups fussy diet. I will definitely call on her in the future.”

“Orrya was great! We got regular updates and pictures of our buddy during our trip. She was very helpful and accommodating when we ran into some issues with our travel home. Will definitely look to book her for our next outing!”

“Kelly was a fantastic sitter for my fur baby Onyx! She was in regular communication, sent lots of pics and kept me updated as necessary. Onyx was well taken care of and Kelly was loving, patient and kind with her. She worked with me on crazy changes to my flight schedule and even offered to stay late which I really appreciated. She left my house clean and fresh and was a pleasure to work with. She is reliable and a great communicator. She even checked on Onyx the day after my return. I’d definitely have Kelly again and am already trying to book her for a future date. Thank you Kelly for taking such great care of Onyx, for being so loving with her and for being willing to work with me on all levels!”

“Cathleen went above and beyond when she watched our house and kitty for 9 days. We returned to a spotless home, filled with great energy. It was a great feeling to return to a clean house after a long flight. Our kitty and plants are thriving, thanks to Cathleen’s help.”

“Jessica is a true animal lover who puts so much care and attention into her work, treating your pets as if they were her own. She took care of my dog and two cats for almost a week while I was out of town and I got frequent updates and came home to very happy animals! It’s also clear in talking with her that she has a wide range of animal experience, not just dogs and cats. Highly recommend and grateful to have found someone who I know will take excellent care of my pets.”

Karen H.

“Olivia is beyond amazing! 10 stars! I am so lucky and happy that Olivia stayed at my home and took care of my two seniors. Olivia gave multiple updates and pictures a day. She gave my dog medicine and provided 2-3 daily walks. My boys were so well cared for and loved. I am so very grateful for Olivia taking care of our precious dogs like they were her own. She is a true gem. My boys loved her! So many tail wags!”

About: My background as a Holistic Practitioner allows me to bring a calm, nurturing presence that helps even the most anxious pets feel safe and loved. I have 10 years experience in pet sitting and specialize in senior cats and dogs. I am comfortable with administering medications and managing specialized care. I also offer frequency therapy, which is a wonderful gentle way to soothe separation anxiety and support them through any health issues. I will treat your place as if it were my own and ensure that you return to a clean and well cared for home. I’m a digital nomad I work remotely from my laptop which gives me the freedom to work from anywhere. Your pets will have constant companionship and minimal disruption to their routine. I have most recently been traveling as a house and pet sitter on Trusted Housesitters and have many wonderful reviews. I have fallen in love with the animals and the freedom it has given me. I have decided I would like to do this professionally and have just signed up with Rover. Looking forward to meeting you.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me! From walks and playtime to cuddles, feeding routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved, I’m comfortable with all the little things that make a dog happy. I’ve also had a cat for about four to five years now, so I understand the different personalities and needs that come with caring for pets. I’m attentive, reliable, and the kind of person who will probably take way too many photos of your pet while you’re away(yes I am happy to send them and keep you updated:)). My goal is to make sure your fur baby feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re gone! I joined Rover recently because I work from home and have extra time on my hands throughout the week to dedicate to your pet. I am flexible and am happy to drop in and or walk your furry friend/s. I live in an apartment, so I ensure that I lead an active lifestyle whether I'm working remotely, running, checking out new places with friends, or in the gym. I'm looking to add pet care onto my list once again. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I respect your privacy and follow your instructions whether it's feeding, walks, play, meds, bedtime routine aka whatever your pet needs to feel happy and secure. I try to keep everything as normal as possible so they feel right at home even when you're away! And finally, I am responsible! I make sure to follow all instructions with receipts! :) (meaning if I'm scheduled to give meds at specific time/ add vitamins or take a walk, I will give photo updates as well)
