House Sitting Marathon

“Maria was great with our babe! We came home to a happy healthy pup and the house was well cared for as well! She was great about communicating with me and sending me updates! Will totally use again!”

“This was the first time that I used a service to find a sitter for my pup, Mayci. I was very concerned and frankly worried sick, that she would be miserable while I was gone for a week. She had been given to the Humane Society twice and understandably has separation anxiety. Well, I was so pleasantly surprised at how wonderful Jaime was. She did a meet and greet with us prior to booking and I had a very good feeling about her and became less worried about having to leave. Jaime arrived on time and was great with Mayci right off the bat. One of the guys at our shop picked up Mayci a couple of days as Mayci likes to go to the shop. He messaged me saying that Mayci loves Jaime. She even taught Mayci how to 'snuggle' more. Jaime sent pictures each day and I could see Mayci was happy. The fact that Jaime was a Vet Tech also made me feel secure. I highly recommend Jaime, she is fantastic!”

“Sara is amazing! She took care of our 3 dogs and a cat for a long weekend. She always communicated and pets were happy upon return. I will definitely have her watch our pets again.”

About: Please be sure to message me first for boarding. Meet and greets will be conducted for 1 hour alone. I need to see the behavior of the dog before I confirm boarding. I have taken care of many breeds of dogs and cats for 5+ years as well as different reptiles and 2 birds my whole life. Im currently going to school and have 2 dogs and 2 turtles who are my entire life. I love them so much and make them my priority. I am not afraid of the big dogs I have had several as well as mean cats 😂. I will follow whatever rules you have for your animals and make sure they are taken care of the same way you would.

About: I have always been a pup enthusiast, I grew up with a huge black lab, Luke. He was the best dog ever, I’d love to take him for walks and play! As an adult I have many dog friends, my sister has the most beautiful pit bull Sadie. I’ll go to her house when I’m in town and take the dog out, Sadie loves when I’m around!! My boyfriend’s parents have two massive Great Danes, we walk them and take care of them all the time. I just have a huge heart for all of our four legged friends. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me. I’m extremely responsible and cautious while walking and playing. I’m a bartender so most days I’m free and would love to spend the off time walking and caring for animals. Exercise for both of us. I am extremely responsible and reliable. Always courteous and respectful. I would care for any animal as if it were my own, and treat them and my surroundings with the upmost respect.

“Kaytee was great with my two dogs! She was very flexible with our cancelled flights. She was reliable and professional and we will definitely use her again and recommend her to others searching!”

Tara P.

“I highly recommend Grace! She has great communication with photos and updates every day. She went above and beyond when my flight home was delayed. We will be using Grace again.”

James M.

“David was very caring with my dogs. He sent pictures of them each time he stop to walk them. I was very comfortable with him. I would recommend him to my friends.”

Wendy C.

“Thank you Rover for helping us find Marti to care of our two BernerDoodles! We loved the peace of mind having such genuine care taken of our two boys! Marti was great about keeping us informed and sending photos! Thank you so much!”

“we just got back from a weekend away after having Marina care for our three dogs. Our house is in wonderful shape. The dogs are very happy. Everything went extremely well. She is fantastic.”

About: I’m currently a pet mom of 2 awesome pups and also have multiple grand pups and cats! I grew up on a farm raising every kind of animal imaginable and have continued my love for all animals throughout my adult life. One of my current pups is deaf so I have experience with special needs and my daughter works at the local vet which offers me extra perks as well. I absolutely love all animals (probably more than humans😜) and will take care of your babies like they are my own! I am self-employed and work from home so my schedule is super flexible. I can stay at your home for overnights or simply come visit your babies every couple of hours for walks, feeding and playtime. Depending on your pet (dog only), I can also bring them to my home for playtime with my pups. I am super attentive (maybe too attentive!) and very cautious when dealing with any animal. I understand they are your babies and safety is number one! If we visit my home, my dogs are super friendly sandbar dogs and I have a fenced yard for everyone to play.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and the type of person who will absolutely stop to say hi to every dog I pass. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. I’ve been watching dogs and cats for years for friends, family, referrals, and people I’ve met along the way, and I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. Growing up, my family helped with dog rescues — and still do today — so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. I also have experience with longer-term care and have watched pets for entire summers (up to 3 months at a time), so I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away and make sure they are happy, loved, comfortable, and cared for. I know leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can genuinely feel comfortable trusting with your pet. I would be so excited and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and your pet 🐶🐱. I work from home remotely a lot and am able to take full care of your pets on the weekends and most weekdays. It is a hobby/job for me because I love animals so much! I treat everyone’s pets like my own. Growing up, I had cats, dogs, horses, and every animal you could think of. I would love to have an animal now of my own, but I travel often!

About: I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely treat every pet like my own! I’m great with puppies; routine, training basics, and gentle structure. I’m equally comfortable caring for seniors who need extra calm and comfort. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, so you can trust your pet is safe, understood, and truly cared for!! This isn’t just a job to me; I love creating a happy, peaceful experience for every animal I meet! I am working part time, so I am flexible to fit the timing and needs of you and your pets! Weekdays are the best bet for me, weekends can be a little tricky! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m in yours, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment! I follow your routines closely; feeding times, walks, potty breaks, cues, and any training you’re working on! Your pet will feel safe with me! In your home, I keep things tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles of course! When it comes to sitting in my own home, I have a golden puppy, under a year; also a cat, so sitting in my clients home would be my best option!

About: I have many years of house and pet sitting experience, along with a genuine love for animals and a calm, dependable nature. I have over thirty 5-star reviews outside of Rover, so please inquire and I am happy to email them to you. I only provide overnight pet care in your home because it keeps your pet(s) happy in their environment. I take pride in caring for every home with respect and every pet with patience, affection, and attention to their individual routines. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart. I cared for my own beloved cat through his senior years, as well as my family's elderly dog. Over the past four years, I've also completed several house sits with senior pets, and I understand the extra patience, gentle care, and consistency they often need. My calm, quiet demeanor helps older pets feel comfortable and secure. As an empty nester, I enjoy a simple, flexible lifestyle that allows me to combine my love of travel with caring for pets around the world. Whether I'm staying in a quiet village or a busy city, I love exploring on foot, using local public transportation, and spending time near the water whenever I can. I bring a strong work ethic, excellent organizational skills, and a proactive approach to problem-solving, so you can feel confident that both your home and your pets are in capable hands while you're away. I work remotely, so reliable high-speed internet is important during my stays. My work is quiet and flexible, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day. I look forward to meeting wonderful people, caring for their beloved pets, and creating another successful house-sitting experience for everyone involved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I'm home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, walks, playtime, feedings, and cuddles while keeping pets on their normal routine. Whether it's a local visit or an extended house sit, I enjoy giving pets the attention and consistency they need so they feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight or extended house sitting while pet parents are away. I believe pets are happiest and least stressed when they can stay in their own home surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. I care for each home with the same respect I would my own—keeping it clean, organized, and secure—while giving every pet plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and companionship based on their individual needs.

“She was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in caring for Sandy as if she were her own. She made sure Sandy got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and it was so clear that she genuinely cared about her happiness and well-being. Her daily updates were thoughtful and detailed, always including the sweetest pictures that instantly put my mind at ease. I could tell Sandy felt completely comfortable and loved, which meant the world to me. What truly stood out was her attention to detail and kindness; she didn’t just care for Sandy, she also took the time to leave the house exactly as I left it, which was such a thoughtful touch and really showed her professionalism and respect. It’s rare to find someone who combines reliability, warmth, and genuine compassion so effortlessly. I’m beyond grateful for the care and love she showed us. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in the best hands possible. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat and will absolutely be booking with her again — she’s truly one of a kind!”

About: I love animals. I grew up with cats and have had both cats and dogs in adulthood. I am experienced with many training styles including clicker training and positive reinforcement techniques. I work from home and get out for walks three times a day— hanging with your dog is a bonus! I also have total flexibility and can visit as much as needed. I have a safe environment and am present at almost all times. I will keep your dogs with me, and check in as often as you like.

“Mackinzey was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Kalamazoo and was a perfect guest in the house. Would absolutely book her again any time we are leaving town.”

Mark V.

“Alicia connected extremely well with our dog and took great care of him while we left town for the weekend. She was able to administer medicine successfully. She also communicated with us throughout the weekend, sending pictures and updates of how much fun they were having. She stayed the weekend to give our elderly dog extra support and took great care of the house by cleaning up after herself. We are thankful that we met and found someone who is respectful and cares so much for our dog.”

Christian B.

“I’m very pleased with Ms.Natalie and the care she provided for my pets. She is ethical with great communication and is very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend her for anyone that wants excellent quality care for their pets and home. My pets love her and her fur babies. We hope to see her back again soon!”
