House Sitting in McDonald

About: I’ve learned and taken on responsibilities caring for animals, specifically dogs, at a young age. Nacho, my past rescue dog, lived to be about 15 years of age. He needed quite a lot of care in his old age, including joint supplements, pimobendan for his heart, and other treatments. I currently have two cats named Kirby and Sam. I would love to have a dog, but my living situation doesn’t allow currently for the quality of life they deserve. I work full-time as an aesthetician, but with some days off, so if you need a day or a time that you don’t see we may be able to work something out:) I ensure a clean environment with no hazardous materials around, ample enrichment, and all the love humanly possible. Full of healthy food and treats obviously🤪

About: I’ve had my own dog for 12 years, and have been working with dogs for years at a doggy daycare! I love to hang out, play with them, and ensure they’re happy and well taken care of!😁 I have lots of space for them to play, an awesome family who helps and a nice neighborhood to take them on walks as well! Comfortable, spacious, clean and loving environment!😁 I currently already work with dogs part-time at the dog stop (doggy daycare)! I have my own pup as well, and have plenty of time any day of the week for dogs to board! I have a spacious and clean home for them to play and hang out in, a nice big yard and a great neighborhood for walks! 😁 in a clients home as well as my own.. I’ll spend lots of time hanging with, playing with and keeping them company! Take them for walks, give them a nice big bed with a warm blanket, get them nice clean water and lots of love and comfort! 😁I’m also good at reading dog behavior and body language, and can calmly attend to whatever they need!

“Katelyn was great! She was very good with communication and taking care of Klaus. She sent pictures and checked in which we definitely appreciated to put our minds at ease. We will definitely use her again.”

“Wonderful experience with Ava! She's a terrific and reliable house sitter, and took great care of our kiddos while we were away. You can tell from meeting her that she's got a huge heart. She's already lined up for the next time we go away.”

“Trevor was the absolute BEST. He took care of our dog and cat while on vacation. We got frequent updates on their condition and lots of photos. We will definitely be using him again.”

“Chelsea did a great job taking care of my animal family! My dog has special needs and she handled them perfectly! Also my dog instantly liked her, he could tell she’s an animal lover and I knew he’d be in good hands. She keeled me posted on how things were going which made it easier while being away! Highly recommend her!❤️😁”

“Amazing!!! Our dog was so happy to have such care while we were out of town. I would highly recommend her and we will certainly be using her again this summer!”

“Hannah is responsive and communicated well. She was available on short notice and was able to do a meet and greet prior to watching the gals this weekend. She sent pictures and updates and left the house as she found it.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, with the majority of my hands-on experience in the last five years. I currently care for my own dog, Layla, and have also fostered, so I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. I’ve potty trained three dogs, including my own, a foster dog, and a puppy I raised for about six months before transitioning him to my parents. That experience gave me a strong understanding of consistency, structure, and reinforcing good habits. I’ve provided both boarding and in-home pet sitting for multiple households, including homes with multiple dogs and homes with both dogs and cats. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I understand how important consistency, patience, and communication are while owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout stays, and I treat every pet like my own. My dog Layla may accompany me during some house sitting stays depending on the pets and circumstances. She is friendly, social, and has done very well with other dogs during previous stays. I work full-time during weekdays, so I’m typically out of the home for about 9 hours during the day. Pets in my care should be comfortable with that schedule, and I make sure they are exercised, settled, and comfortable before I leave, with plenty of attention, walks, and interaction when I return home. On weekends, I’m much more available and hands-on, which allows for extra walks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddle time. Whether I’m boarding, doing daycare, or staying in a client’s home, I aim to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, behavior, and specific needs so I can provide consistent care and maintain the environment they’re used to. I live in an apartment with multiple grassy areas nearby for walks and bathroom breaks, along with an on-site dog park for additional exercise and enrichment. I tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I’m experienced with dogs of different temperaments and can reinforce routines such as feeding schedules, crate training, potty habits, and calm household behavior if needed. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I prioritize safety, communication, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment where pets can relax and feel at home.

“There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I am glad that I booked with Cassandra! I was nervous to use the app at first but after meeting her and her family I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with her while I went out of town. I could tell right away that she is very knowledge about dogs and my puppy Mia loved her and her family! She sent updates and pictures which was really nice as well. I would definitely book with Cassandra again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs so I know how to take care of them and keep them on a routine. I’m used to walks, feeding, and playtime, and I’m good with different personalities.

“Ruxin is a 13 year old weimerener with loving energy. His disposition matched Natalie’s personality and there were no hesitations from either of them; they bonded immediately. Natalie is a natural. She is reliable, competent and confident. Your pet is in good hands with her. I cannot speak highly enough of Natalie’s communication and ongoing commitment to keep our loved one safe, happy and healthy while we were away. This was the peace of mind that made the trip so relaxing. Natalie can be trusted without doubt or hesitation. She is thorough and seeks clarification if she is unsure of something pertaining to the uniqueness of your pet-this is the assurance that I admire and respect most in her ability to provide exceptional care. I know that Ruxin enjoyed his stay-cation from us as much as we enjoyed our time away visiting family. This was evident through the photos that she shared throughout. In addition to the great care that she provided to Ruxin, Natalie took outstanding care of our home. Upon returning from our trip, we were very pleased to find our house spotless! Thank you Natalie for your ongoing dedication to the pets and their homes that you care for. Ruxin sends his ❤️”

“I can’t say enough about Brianna! This was a perfect experience for us. We were out of town for our daughter’s wedding and we didn’t have to worry about our furry friends at all. She kept in touch with us with pictures a couple of times a day. The pups looked super happy. She even touched up the house a bit before she left which was totally unexpected! Highly recommend Brianna and we will definitely be booking her for future travel!”

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and both me and brother rescued a 6 year old white Labrador named “Zorro” who we brought before Covid began. We love him so much and since I moved countries he now lives with my parents in India. I wear a paw on my necklace which is a memory that he is not far away and will always take care of my parents behind me. Zorro now sits on the dinner table and enjoys all family meals. As someone with medical training and a responsible active lifestyle, I am calm under pressure, highly dependable and attentive to routines, medications, special care needs and feeding schedule. Whether your pet is playful or prefer quiet companionship I’m happy to adapt to their personality and needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family 🐾 I’m currently very flexible with my schedule until June 15th as I recently relocated to Pittsburgh to start my residency training. I will be able to work around a time and a schedule post June and will be open to taking care of your pet as per your need and happy to coordinate a schedule with you with my availability. I live in an apartment with my spouse who has grown up all around dogs as pets since he was a kid so we both love dogs but don’t have one of our own currently. Your pet is allowed on our sofa and enjoy the area of a one bedroom. If I am at your home, I will aim to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while the owner is way by keeping a normal routine in their own home environment. I will carefully follow your instructions and communication is very important to me, so I can provide regular updates , photos and check-in to help the owner feel reassured. As someone with a medical background I am very attentive to details and safety.
