House Sitting in Lisbon

“Dawn has boarded my dogs on a regular basis and has always proved to be a fantastic host. The yard is great and the house very homely. I would definitely recommend Dawn to anyone.”

“We usually have our dogs with us when we go away, but have had several occasions when we were unable to take them. John is the only person, outside our family, who we've trusted to stay in our home to take care of our girls. We have been able to relax knowing that our pets are safely at home with someone they love. John is a reliable, caring person, who I would recommend to anyone looking for someone to deliver the kind of care and attention your pet gets from you.”

“Liz is a wonderful sitter. I have two cats that's she spends a week with every year while I go on vacation. She feeds them according to the schedule they are on while I'm home and makes sure that the liter boxes are clean. She spends time with them everyday. I use to worry how the boys would be when I got home before and now I know I can go and not worry cause they are in good hands. Highly recommended if you want someone who cares about the animals as if they are own.”

“Ashley was punctual, communicative and followed my instructions when watching my 7 month old puppy. I look forward to adding Ashley into my rotation of regular dog sitters!”

“Renee is the best with my dog! Super nice and I can tell Chipmunk loves her. She’s always on time and I for sure feel safe with her babysitting Chipmunk overnight. She always sends a cute pic if they go out. And I love that my baby can still have great human interaction while I’m at work. Needless to say, I definitely recommend Renee, you won’t regret it.”

“Kate was absolutely amazing! We were so worried about our special needs cat while we were out of town but both of our cats and dog loved her!! She was able to get out very shy cat to eat his medicine and play with her in such a short amount of time. We will definitely be using Kate in the future when we’re out of town!”

“We repeatedly ask Karen to care for our toy poodles because we all love her!! We have peace of mind knowing she’s at our home and giving the pups the same love and attention we do! Karen is most highly recommended!!”

“Tiffany is wonderful. Very proactive, lots of communication, so attentive with our girls, and she is really fun to talk to. A great added bonus! We will definitely have her with us again.”

“Francis is the absolute best house/cat/dog sitter we have ever had! We can't believe how lucky we are to have found her and are so grateful for all she did to take care of our cat and dog! I swear she left our house cleaner than we did! I have never been able to leave our pets with anyone except for family so meeting Francis and being able to trust her and have such a great experience was a godsend. Book her immediately! I have absolutely no reservations about wholeheartedly recommending her.”

About: I have lived with a dog in my family for as long as I can remember. I have had three dogs (Cherry and Dutty) and am currently petsitting my sister's dog (Thor) on weekday mornings. Thor used to live with me and my family but my sister has recently moved out. I love being around dogs because they show you so much affection without speaking. I always look forward to taking care of my sister's dog. I walk Thor around my neighborhood so he can get some exercise and lead a long healthy life. My sister went to the vet for a check-up and told her he has lost three pounds since I started walking him more :). I also bathe Thor on a monthly basis. My past dog, Dutty, was a smaller dog but I took care of him with the basics such as walking, baths, etc. I was still in my child/adolescent years when Dutty was around. I also have four guinea pigs with two being male (Coconut and Milo) and the other two being female (Peanut and Peanut Jr.). Peanut Jr. is the daughter of Peanut and Milo. Having four guinea pigs is not easy but it has helped tremendously with taking care of dogs. I would say it has made taking care of dogs much easier! I am currently free for most of the week. If you ask for a schedule that I can't attend to, I will let you know. Opening right now are mornings - 10 AM and 2PM -evenings. Every day on a weekday, my sister drops off Thor in the morning at our house. Usually, Thor has already been taken out before my sister drops her off but I take him out if that isn't the case. He is also fed in the morning. Thor seems to be very picky with his food so I have to mix up wet food with his dry food. After this, I leave Thor with my mother so I can feed my guinea pigs and clean their cage. They are in a locked room that Thor can't access for their safety. I try to give Thor as much attention as he likes to cuddle and also be around someone. Even when he is sleeping, he prefers that someone is in the same room with him. Sometimes, I have to watch my nephew for a bit because my mother babysits him while my brother and sister-in-law are at work. Thor is usually happy being around my nephew so it all works out! I make sure Thor isn't rummaging through garbage and pick up anything on the floor that is toxic. Since Thor sheds constantly, I always have to clean the floor to keep the house tidy. I try to walk Thor every three hours and I also would go to my backyard to play with him so he can get some sun.

“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She was very responsible, caring, and attentive. Topo felt very comfortable with her and I could tell he was happy and relaxed. She followed all the instructions perfectly and kept me updated during the day.”

“Reilynn has been our house/dog sitter for years and I can't imagine life without her. She is punctual, trustworthy, hard working, and a great communicator. Reilynn is always there for our family, even on short notice. The piece of mind she gives us is priceless. The compassion she shows our two pups and 1 kitty cat is wonderful and we trust her wholehearted. We cannot recommend Reilynn's services enough- she is the real deal!”

“To Whom This May Concern, I am writing this letter on behalf of my sister Patrice Carrignan in regards to her potential employment with rover. I would like to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Patrice as I believe she would be an asset and responsible team member for your agency. Throughout her life I have watched her grow within each work environment as a reliable and professional employee. Animals have always been a passion for Patrice growing up as she has had her own Dogs that she has raised and taken great care of. Her personality is bubbly, friendly and loving to everyone around her. The amount of happiness I see within her while working with at the animal shelter shows her compassion to help within this field. I trust her to care for my pets and she would be a great choice to care for yours to.”

“Meg is amazing! It was difficult to get my husband to take the leap to hire a stranger but I wish we had done it years ago. Meg followed every instruction, didn't miss a beat, took great care of our animals and house and over delivered. Can't wait to leave again so we know our babies are in great hands again!”

“Emily did an amazing job! We didn’t have much time to find a place or person to watch our pets when we went on an impromptu trip, she came in and saved the day. Our pets (2 dogs and 1 cat) seemed to enjoy her company, she sent pictures daily. All around a great experience. Highly recommended!”

“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our 3 dogs!! Highly recommend and will definitely be using her in the future! :)”

“Gillian loves animals & is very responsible. She has cared for pets her entire life. She's very dog savvy. I trust her with my dogs lives!”

“I have been working with June for the last 25 years. She is wonderful with pets and has a calm, gentle, compassionate way with them. She also has great energy to get you pet exercised and attended to. In addition, June is responsible and blessed with common sense. I recommend June without reservation. Whether you are looking for a simple walk or you dog need special services, June is the person I would trust with my pets.”

“I've known Tina for quite some years now and she's always been awesome around dogs. i actually have a little poodle myself and sometimes I do need to run out to the store and always leave her in charge because I promise you that whenever I get back my little dog is always so happy to see me and I can honestly say that she is the one person I will always go to if I ever need her to take care of my dog for any reason.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life and I would love to help out. I know lots of great walking/hiking trails to get the pups out of the house and all energy taken up. I’m very flexible with whatever is needed so please reach out if you have any questions and I’ll gladly get back to you! :) I work as a chef at a catering company full time so some weeks are busier than others, I normally am available Sundays and Mondays and later in the day Wednesdays and thursdays but I’ll gladly let you know my schedule for the week so we can work out times :) I have no problem going after work to check on and walk animals. When it comes to overnight I’ll gladly help out if just have to make sure I’m available that day I have a small dog and a cat in my home who are both extremely friendly and social, we have a big yard so plenty of room for the animals to run around on a leash. We have gates and crates if needed to make sure all the animals are kept safe
