House Sitting Lyndon

“Karla is super flexible and really nice. She stayed at my house to watch my cat and dog. She sent pics every day so I knew they were all happy and comfortable. The house was neat and tidy and the pets were great. I’m totally hiring Karla again!!”

“We were thrilled that Zachary could care for Maple for a second time. Again, he was dependable, trustworthy and timely. We are so happy we found him and will continue to reach out in the future when we need care for our dog! We highly recommend hiring Zachary for pet care.”

About: I have experience with all types of temperaments and breeds in all phases of life. My approach towards dogs is that they should receive ample stimulation through individualized exercise needs, walks that allow for lots of sniffing, and play time that allows your dog to feel like they accomplished a mission! EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS: senior care, reactive dogs, fearful dogs, service animals, puppy training, grooming, nail trims, administering medications, general training PET SITTING EXPERIENCE - I have pet sit for many friends over the past few years. I have bonded closely with each of them and think of them each as my little friends! I am dedicated to providing timely potty breaks, ample and diverse stimulation, and exercise. I have experience administering medications, grooming, nail trimming, and training. REACTIVE DOGS - I helped train and raise my parents dog, a reactive rescue named Thunder. Through a gentle and persistent approach, I trained him to recall on demand, tamed biting tendencies, and blttust humans again. In his older years I have learned how to encourage eating following a medical event that left him with no appetite. - I also have experience pet sitting a high energy herding dog who needed minimum of a 2 hours of exercise per day an struggled with resource guarding. With patience, I helped train him to share toys and use his inside voice when he demands something! - When living in Cincinnati with my Shiba, we would spend 10+ hours per week at the local dog park. Here I learned de-escalation with aggressive and unpredictable dogs. SERVICE ANIMALS - In college I helped a friend train a Labrador from 8 weeks old to be a Leader Dog for the Blind. I learned how to crate train, potty train, stop at crosswalks, and train a dogs to be in public spaces through the use positive reinforcement and slow immersion of new situations. - My first (and current) dog is a Shiba Inu, a breed notorious for their stubbornness. I trained him like a service animal (although he is not registered) and he regularly goes to public spaces like crowded festivals, dog friendly music venues, and dog friendly businesses and if often complimented for his calm behavior and ability to sit patiently. I am a full time pet sitter who can do visits morning to evening Monday to Sunday. I travel often and only decline clients when I have a trip planned. I will tailor frequency and duration to your pets needs. I am able to provide all of the following: walks, play time, grooming, nail trims, administering medications, special requests, some training.

“This was our first time using Rover and having Marissa house sit. She was wonderful, responsive, asking good questions and just taking care of everything beautifully. Came home after a week to a happy dog and home.”

“Mariana and Dennis were excellent pet sitters. They were very attentive to Tango and they kept me informed on how he was doing . He loved them!”

“We had an excellent experience with our house/pet sitter, Gordon. I was nervous having a stranger in our home and with our pets, but from the start, he was great at communicating with me. That continued while we were away with daily texts and photos. It put our minds at ease knowing they were being taken care of so well. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. He even went out of his way to schedule things around our dog who requires special attention and medication. Would definitely book again.”

“Tommi was professional and helpful. I have an older cat and Tommi checked up on his wellbeing and went beyond just cat sitting. Upon returning home my cats were healthy and happy.”

Crystal S.

“We couldn't have asked for a better person to spend the week with our fur babies than Yareli! 😊 She sent us regular updates of their playtime, walks, and lots of cuddles. We came home to a house that was even cleaner than when we left it, a vase of fresh flowers, and the sweetest thank you card from her. We are so happy to have found such a wonderful, dependable person and hope to have her back in the future! ❤️”

About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve always been a huge dog lover and have cared for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of love and attention. I’m also very dependable and will treat your dog like they’re my own. My background in healthcare has taught me to be patient, responsible, and attentive to details, and I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being. I’ll be moving to Wyoming on October 5 for a short-term job as I prepare for graduate school, and I’ll have a very flexible schedule leading up to that. From September 16 through October 5, I’ll have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’m available for both weekday and weekend bookings during this time. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’m a very responsible and attentive person, and I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crating, and anything else your pet needs. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Heather is an absolute gem and after how well she did we will be using her for all of our future pet care needs. When we met her our dogs immediately loved her and so did we. She is easy to talk to and had no problem accommodating our dogs special needs. We were gone for about a week and during that time I got consistent updates and photos of our animals. Whenever I messaged her to check on them she was immediately responsive. She left our house just the way she found it and our animals were all very loved and well cared for. I know it is always scary leaving your animals in the care of someone you don't know but we trusted our gut on Heather and we are so glad we did.”

“Denise was wonderful with my dogs. I have 3 small dogs who like to have company at home and that’s exactly what she provided. I was able to relax peacefully knowing my babies were safe and home, enjoying themselves. I got lots of updates throughout the weekend including videos and texts. She left the house exactly as she found it and had no issues! I will be inviting Denise back for my next trip!”

Abbe N.

“Diandra was incredible! She was so communicative and so kind! She left our house in SPARKLING shape- I think it was cleaner when we got home than when we left! She swung with some annoyances too- our house lost power in 95 degree weather and I messed up our days off and asked literally the day before she was going to leave if she could spend an extra night. She was super easy going about both. I feel so lucky we found her and I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I've been pet/house sitting for eight years now via word of mouth. All sizes of dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I believe part of why I can connect with animals well is getting to know each pet's personality and individual needs. I'm experienced in daily walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning, basic medication if needed, and plenty of love/attention. I understand how important routines are to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I'm committed to that reliable and attentive care. I'm more than happy to update you with as many photos and messages as needed for your peace of mind. Lastly, in case of an emergency or even simply needing a resource, my sister works at a vet clinic I can always contact. I'm currently between jobs after moving and have an open calendar. I'm working on securing a part-time remote job that I can work around your pets needs with. Pets will be cared for in your home by not merely following instructions but also paying attention to detail, maintaining routine, and building trust with them. I'll make sure they have a safe environment, fresh water, and a clean/tidy space, making your time away from them as stress-free as possible. Exceptional pet care goes beyond meeting the bare minimum. I always emphasize caring for that pet's needs, so whether that's cuddles, playtime, long walks, or simple quiet companionship, I'm happy to match their personality/energy to create an enriching experience. Every owner, pet, and house is treated with respect and professionalism.

“Skye was fantastic with our puppy. We were especially impressed by how attentive and proactive Skye was — taking the time to learn her cues and routines, working with her on training, and even noticing things that helped us after we came home. Skye was incredibly organized, communicative, honest, and took initiative whenever something came up. We came home to a happy puppy who had actually made progress while we were gone. It was very clear that Skye put a lot of thought and effort into caring for her, and we would absolutely trust Skye with her again.”

About: I have four dogs of my own and experience caring for dogs, cats, and fish. I’m comfortable with different breeds and sizes, including Pit Bulls, and I’m not intimidated by larger dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. I do have other work throughout the week, but I’m able to work my schedule around pet sitting. I have plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays and do my best to accommodate each pet’s normal routine. I care for pets in their own home where they’re comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions closely and always prioritize your pet’s safety, routine, and comfort.
