House Sitting in Merrimac

“Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).”

“Lily was a great stand in for our dog sitter situation! It is the first time we’ve used Rover. She sent photos and updates every day. They seemed to take to her quickly and were so well cared for! Our dogs are large breeds with some ailments and take medication, so it was vital she was comfortable with both. She did such a great job!! Thank you, Lily! Luna and Stella loved the attention and we appreciate knowing they were taken care of just as we would do! We look forward to booking with you again!”

“Phoebe was great! She came early to make sure she knew my dogs routine and where everything was. She communicated throughout the time she was watching my dog!”

About: Hi! I’m a homeschool dad with a flexible schedule, and I’ve been looking after animals for over 16 years. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, so I focus on being reliable, patient, and giving them the extra care they’re used to at home. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Being a homeschool parent, our home-based schedule makes it simple for me to care for pets in our safe, fenced-in space, and still make time to travel for in-home visits when pets are more comfortable staying in their own routine. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate most boarding, drop-ins, and in-home visits. • Pets are never left alone because I’m home throughout the day as a homeschool Dad, and my wife works from home. They’re always supervised, especially outside. • Our mid sized backyard has a secure 6-foot privacy fence, which keeps pets safely contained during play and prevents outside distractions or escape risks. • I have 16 years of hands-on experience with different personalities and needs, from shy animals to high-energy dogs, so I know how to read behavior and keep pets comfortable and calm. • We keep a peaceful, low-stress household. There’s no chaos or constant foot traffic, so pets can relax, nap, or play without being overwhelmed. • I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and favorite toys or habits, so they feel safe and understood.

“She was absolutely fantastic. Had her watch our pup for 8 days straight at our house. She gave us tons of updates and pictures and asked questions when needed. Thank god Emily is so patient because our dog gave her a really hard time. Also our house was clean when we got home! Will use her again for sure if she isn’t booked up.”

“Katelyn sent pictures throughout the week of our animals. When we returned the house was clean and orderly, and our pets were very well cared for. I left some extra cash for her and asked for a few extra things which were all done also, getting mail, bringing a package in, and watering my potted plants. Would definitely use her in the future.”

About: I have 15+ years of experience with pets. I have four large breed fur babies and work in the pet sector professionally. I take ensuring that the pets that I care for extremely serious and go above and beyond to ensure that their pet parents are just as happy. I have experience with younger puppies as well as senior pups. Pet care is a natural daily action in my life. I have a special needs pup who has medicated food and meds that he will need to take multiple times per day. I ensure that my full attention and dedication is provided in all that I do. I ensure that I understand the environment of your home and anything that your pet loves to get into. I am also very attentive to our outdoor environment.

“Dawn was amazing! She did a great job with my high anxiety dog who is afraid of strangers. Within a few days, they were best friends! My pups were well taken care of!”

About: I used to foster dogs. My yard is pretty big and I have a doggie door. My dogs do not mind visitors. I am off work during the summer and all major holidays. I am a teacher so I am off for the summers. When school is in session, I get off early and I am usually home before 4pm. I have a fenced in yard that can be accessed by a doggie door. I have 3 small dogs. I walk them and play with them on a regular basis. I also have 2 cats.

“Reagan was great! Her communication was on point, and she was prompt to every appointment. My dog adored her and can't wait to have her puppy sit again soon! Would highly recommend.”

About: I’m very comfortable with reactive/impulsive dogs (AKA the “bully breeds”). I’ve had 4 alpha-females of my own. There’s never been a pittie that I haven’t loved! In my free time, I help walk dogs and give them out-of-shelter enrichment with Stray Rescue 🖤 I am an early childhood special education teacher. Most evenings and weekends are wide open to care for your pets. Just ask, and I’m sure that I can help! My 3 cats know how to keep space from dogs of all energy levels. My home is welcome for my furry friends. Or, if you prefer I also housesit I’m fine with that as well.

“Catelyn took fantastic care of my dog. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures, and got to know my dogs tendencies. I’d definitely book again!!”
