House Sitting Mayer

“Karri was great with our elderly dog while we were gone for a week. She stayed in our home and took care of him like he was her own. She went over and above in taking care of Ben. He has ongoing health issues that can change very quickly and she easily adapted to his needs, gave meds and even completed ear cleanings when needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We will not hesitate to have Karri stay with Ben again.”

“Gabby watched Winston (in-house) while my family was away for spring break. Winston is a high drive vizsla and can be quite a shock to people that aren't use to their relentlessness and lack of recognition of personal space. After meeting Gabby we knew Winston would be in good hands though. Gabby sent us updates (including pictures) and was quick to respond when we check-in. If you need someone to watch your pup, we definitely recommend Gabby!”

“Allysa did a wonderful job with my girls. She sent me pictures and was great at communicating things. She would reach out with questions. My girls were so happy to be able to stay at home while I went to a family wedding. I would highly recommend her and I will use her again!!!”

“Sarah’s was great with my very senior Jack Russell Terrier. She was also on time for each sit which is very important to me, and was flexible and very good natured about a change in plans. A very good house sitter!”

I’m able to take care of and play with your pets on weekends and weekdays if you’re local to me I am not able to provide service at my home. I’m very respectful and adaptive to the rules and specifics of your home and pets.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and dog owner myself, I’ve always felt a special bond and connection to animals and the natural world. I'm reminded and amazed on a daily basis at their resilience, special ability to live in the moment, and bring and provide healing and joy just by being! Dogs truly contain a pure and unconditional love and acceptance that enrich our lives. I have 8 years of experience caring for and owning dogs and have been around animals my whole life. I have a passion for local animal rescues and have also been a dog foster myself. This has allowed me to gain experience in handling various situations and caring for a variety of dog breeds, ages, temperaments, energy levels from different backgrounds. More on my technical experience below - please don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions! • Over 8 years’ experience caring for dogs • In-depth knowledge of different breeds of domestic pets • Ensured pets are given enough exercise and playtime • Cleaned and bathed dogs • Administered oral and topical medications when needed to dogs and cats • Experience providing first aid when required - such as cuts, scrapes, bites, burns. I work for myself and out of my home part time so I will have plenty of time to care for and focus on your pet. With a deep understanding of animal behavior and a genuine love for all animals, I'm committed to ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness. From daily walks and playtime to administering medication and providing companionship, I'm here to tend to their needs. Being a helicopter dog mom myself - I know how hard it is to leave and find the right person to trust and care for your pet. I understand that pets are more than just animals; they’re beloved family members.

“Very sweet and fabulous with our dog who has a lot of separation anxiety. Our dog loved her and when I came home, she didn’t go crazy like usual if I leave the house for a bit, which means she wasn’t feeling aa anxious. I really appreciate the care for our dog and look forward to booking her again!”

I’m currently working full time as a nurse/clinic leader but I have the flexibility to work from home on occasion. I’ll do my best to accommodate needs. I can provide and respect any safety recommendations as requested. I want you and your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

Would totally recommend!!”

About: I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where I completed a variety of courses focused on animal care, behavior, and management, along with gaining valuable hands-on experience in dog training. I also have over eight years of experience fostering and training service animals. Through this experience, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and am comfortable working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize patience, consistency, safety, and individualized care for every dog I work with. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors and going on walks, and I look forward to providing your dog with plenty of exercise, companionship, and attention. I’m excited to meet you and your pet and provide reliable, high-quality care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize providing consistent, attentive care. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I especially enjoy incorporating walks and outdoor time into my day and look forward to making pet care a rewarding part of my regular routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and any specific preferences or routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting the pet’s space and personality. I also understand that caring for a pet means caring for their home, so I am respectful, responsible, and mindful of keeping the space clean and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Hailey is the best. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and amazing with my two pups. She does a great job of taking care of your home and your pets. My doggos are both rescues, both have their own quirks, and both of them are very selective with humans. But they loved Hailey the moment they met her; and seeing them in the pictures Hailey sends me, I can tell they love having her stay with them.”

About: Hi! I’m Elena. Whether your pet is an easygoing adult dog, a timid kitty, or a gentle senior who just wants a quiet place to nap, I provide calm, attentive, and high-trust care tailored to their normal routine. My animal care background runs deep: 8+ Years of Rescue Experience & Patient Care: I spent eight years volunteering with City Kitties Rescue in DC and The Cats at Longstreet. Through this work, I developed a strong understanding of animal body language, patience with shy pets, and a gentle touch for animals who need a peaceful environment to feel comfortable. Gentle Senior & Easygoing Routine Care: I love spending time with adult and senior pets who enjoy a relaxed pace, predictable routines, lots of affection, or simply lounging on the couch. I grew up with a Peekapoo and trained with the Animal Humane Society on gentle dog handling techniques. Pro Communication & Great Photos: You’ll receive clear, real-time updates and high-quality progress photos during every stay so you always have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and relaxed. Broad Animal Experience: While I focus on adult cats and dogs on Rover, I’ve personally cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—from hedgehogs, rabbits, and pocket pets to reptiles (including live feeding). I maintain a peaceful, welcoming environment and treat every pet like family. I’d love to meet you and your companion! My schedule is very flexible. I work part-time and remotely, which means I am home for the majority of the day and can give your pet plenty of individual attention, frequent potty breaks, and low-stress companionship. Because I work from my peaceful home environment, I can easily stick to your pet’s normal daily rhythm—whether that’s a midday backyard break, regular feeding times, or just having a cozy lap available while I work. Whether caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, safety, comfort, and respect for routine are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding): I use a low-stress, step-by-step transition process for feline guests. Just like my rescue fosters, visiting cats start out in a cozy, dedicated space (like a private room) with all their essentials until they feel confident enough to explore the rest of the house at their own pace. For dogs, I maintain a secure, calm environment and ensure my backyard is fully supervised during outdoor breaks. In Your Home (Drop-Ins): I follow your exact instructions to keep your pet’s routine seamless. My visits typically begin with fresh food, water, and litter/potty care. Once their primary needs are met, I spend the remaining time providing gentle affection, low-key play, or simply quiet companionship—always ensuring your home is kept secure and key logistics are handled with complete accountability.

About: I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, from quick drop-in visits and playtime to extended stays with overnight pet sitting. I grew up with my parents’ dogs and have always had a love for animals. I spent two weeks in California caring for a Golden Retriever. I have experience with multiple overnight stays, caring for 1–5 pets at a time. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I make sure they receive plenty of love and care. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while providing updates and peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home so am available to work from anywhere. I love going on walks and can easily make that a part of a routine while caring for your animals. I am able to come over and watch your pets! I am used to various environments while pet-sitting. I am also available for walks and check-ins to make sure your pets feel taken care of.

“Jade took great care of our house and dogs while we went on vacation. She sent us pictures of the dogs and followed the instructions for care that we left for her. She was very communicative and let us know when she was going to arrive. Thank you!”
