House Sitting in Litchfield

“Rodney was absolutely great with our dogs/cat! Received LOTS of great pictures of all our fur-babies while we were gone, and he went above and beyond taking care of our house and daily chores (which he absolutely did not have to do, but we came home to that surprise!). Would absolutely rebook him again, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to take care of your pets!”

“Audrey was fantastic with Dot and our home! She was flexible and accommodated us relatively last minute in her schedule. She communicated well and adapted kindly to our changing schedule. Dot would love to see her again, and so would we!”

About: I am very caring and will provide a family like atmosphere. I will make sure the best possible care is given, i have been pet sitting since i was 10 years old for family and friends. I have 1 cats currently. I am a mother to a 7 year old boy, a 2 year old boy and have my cousins 7 year old daughter. I have experience with animals with social and separation anxiety . I have dealt with special needs animals as well. I am a huge animal lover and will always make sure that every animal is treated as kindly as possible. I will always make sure you will not being walking in on a mess or a hyper active dog who just wants to play when you would much rather rest after a long day. I'm currently a stay at home mom so I'm usually home! I have open availability for any pet needs even if it's just a drop in potty break during the day! I have a decent yard and live in a neighborhood where I can take on daily walks to ensure excersise. I have a 2 year old lab mix named Freya who loves to be everyone's friend and will sure to keep them playing!

“Words can not describe how well not only my two dogs but my house was taken care of when I left. I already have anxiety leaving my girls but he always answers his phone and is very attentive. Can not recommend him enough. Very professional and I came home to happy and exhausted pups. Thanks Kent.”

“Heather house- and dog-sat for us over the weekend as our first experience with Rover and it went great. We were updated with photos of our dogs once she arrived (we had already left) and she was very responsive all along the way. It couldn't have gone any better.”

“Evan was GREAT ! He contacted me very quickly regarding a medical concern one of my Great Danes was having. He was very quick to reply to all my messages and sent smiling pictures of the dogs to put me at ease. I was especially surprised to see the floors and bedding washed and clean upon my arrival. My Danes fell in love with him during the meet and greet visit and will definitely use him for all our dog care needs. Cora”

“Karen did a wonderful job sitting for our geriatric greyhound in our home! Very reliable and put our minds at ease with regular updates and pictures. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve never not had a dog in my life. Currently I have a turtle, 2 dogs and I watch my bosses dog all the time. I’ve always been good at taking care of animals and sensing their emotions and things they may need. I have a zoom class Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 6. I work Thursday - Friday but I can work visits or walks in between shifts. I’m very familiar with all different types of needs for your animal(s). I’ve crate trained dogs my whole life, I’m very experience in walking dogs, I walk strong pit bulls on a daily basis so any size I can handle.

“Kristy is an excellent pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure our pets are well cared for when we are away. I never have to worry Kristy is with our dogs. She is quick to respond and sends updates throughout her stay. Our dogs are thrilled to see her and enjoy her company. It’s comforting knowing I have someone who truly cares for my pets when I am gone.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, where I learned the responsibility and care that goes into each individual pup! I recently worked for Boston Dog Butlers in Boston, and have moved home for the summer! I’ve been trained on all sizes, different breeds and different needs of dogs all while putting their safety first! I recently moved back to Michigan for the summer and picked Rover back up before I move to Europe in a few months! I have all weekday and weekend availability! I have dog sat many of times with a mix of routines— I feel comfortable having the dogs out and about, but can also crate them if necessary! I make sure all food and cherished items are out of reach, and I make sure to actually be with the dogs so they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t!

About: My family always had dogs and cats while I was growing up. I sorted the pictures of the dogs I have known the longest to the shortest, with a photo of me at The Hemingway House in Key West FLA petting a cat. First is my childhood dog named Fezz who passed away in 2020. Second is my brothers beagle, Jack. Next is an old friend’s tan Pitbull named Louise. Then there is my dad’s white puppy named Piggie. The next photos are my friend Andy’s dogs. Two Bully Breeds. The white one is Biggie and the grey one is Gianna. I have watched them a few times and I walk them together. Biggie is a rescue and is considered a high risk dog. He has bit 10+ people, but he loves me so much and is very comfortable around me. I wouldn’t say I’m a dog whisperer, but I certainly have a way with dogs. I have watched my brother’s beagle as well a few times. When I lived in CO (about a decade ago) I watched a German Shepherd and an Alaskan Malamute. They were a handful and hard to walk together as they were both pretty big and strong, but I was still able to do it. I work remote doing life and health insurance, so I’m just looking for a side job to supplement my income until I build my book of business up. I could watch them at my house as I have a huge fenced in yard, but I would rather meet the animal at home where it’s most comfortable for them. When I watch Andy’s dogs, I watch them at his house.

About: Having pets for all these years I understand how important these family members are. It always seemed that their comfort and happiness was as important aa anybody else’s in the family. Pets have always been a big part of our family Having retired from industry makes me able and willing to spend time showing attention in a safe and willing schedule. I understand the value a pet brings to a family Knowing what is safe for dogs and cats is something I have studied. I also believe it is very important to keep a pet leashed where danger is evident

“Wonderful to work with. Sent lots of updates and photos! Very quick to reply and not afraid to ask questions when needed. Will certainly work with Lainey again!”

Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or just some company, I’ll treat them like family.

“Brittany bonded with my pups. They had a great time playing together and getting to know her. She was kind, gentle and patient with them. It was a great first experience. We hope one of many more.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all kind, worked for Wag! And have worked at a few doggy daycares as well, I have obedience training experience, grooming experience, dispensing medication experience, and I absolutely just love dogs overall! I’m also working on building up a clientele to eventually grow into a fully operational doggy/cat daycare/hotel. Get up I feed my fish first thing, then I let my dogs out, put food in my dogs dish, let him inside to eat, then it’s play time. I have 5 acres, with a huge fenced in yard, i do have chickens, turkeys, goats, dog, and 3 donkeys. I will crate at night if boarding apon pet parents request.

“Hailey was great! We used her as a sitter for our dog on our wedding night! She was kind and communicated well. Gunner had a great time. We definitely will be using her to watch him again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive knowledge of animal behavior, my commitment to personalized care, and my ability to handle various pet needs, including administering medications and managing special diets. Additionally, I prioritize communication with pet owners to ensure peace of mind while they are away. Pet care fits into my daily routine by incorporating regular feeding, exercise, and playtime for pets. Weekly, I ensure maintaining open communication with pet owners about their pets' well-being. I have multiple references that can assure you your dog will be in the best hands when you chose to take a vacation or whatever it might be.

About: I've taken care of 3 golden retrievers, for decades. I have a dog ramp, dog treats, leashes, toys, and like our furry friends to have a very comfortable and fun time. I've taught dogs to hold food on their nose, roll over, play hide and seek. It's been fun. My schedule is quite flexible. Willing to consider anything. I am a musician and as such have open day hours most of the time. Walking dogs, checking on them, letting them out, taking them to the vet, playing with them, it's all good. I have a basement which is uncarpetted and warm, a very big yard with very minimal traffic , a local park, and 2-4 housemates who all like and own dogs.
