House Sitting in Merrimac

“We met April when last minute searching for an in home sitter. She immediately bonded with charly and provided such great care. She sent pics and videos and frequent updates. I will definitely book April again. Prompt, trustworthy, loves animals, wonderful pet caregiver!”

“Once again, Tammy helped us out in a pinch so that we were able to go away for our anniversary. She loves our dogs as if they were her own and always goes above and beyond what is asked. She even left us a card and anniversary gift from the pups. We are so beyond thrilled to have found her! Thank you Tammy for everything! 💗🐾”

“We hired Sarah to come and stay with our girl Sunny while we were on vacation. I had Sarah come to walk her once a week, leading up to her stay so that they could get to know each other. Poor Sarah lol! One obstacle after another and she handled it like a trooper. She even went above and beyond and picked up medication from our vet and started Sunny on it. She sent me pictures all the time and she was great at communicating on how Sunny was doing. I really didn’t worry about Sunny being in her care. Sunny really liked Sarah! We got home and the house was in great shape. She had gotten all the mail and everything was waiting on the table. Having a great sitter come to your home is the way to go. Thanks so much Sarah❤️”

“Can't say enough about Joseph. This is my second time to have them stay at my home. They were able to fit me in on short notice for a three day stay. They got some really nice photos which they posted on Rover and sent me on a regular basis. Lyn R.”

“Janine was an excellent house sitter / dog sitter for my dog, Hannah. She was in constant communication throughout the day and sent pictures which gave me peace of mind that my dog was well cared for. Upon return, my house was exactly as I left it (if not even cleaner!) I would gladly use Janine the next time I’m out of town!”

“Cassandra is a huge animal lover. She's reliable, compassionate, and follows directions to the T. She is one of the few people I feel comfortable staying in my home to take care of my animals.”

“Beatriz was great! She did everything we asked, stayed in touch with us daily, and best of all, our 2 1/2 year old, recently adopted, 80lb "Bear" loved her! Thanks for easing our minds when we went away, Beatriz!”

“Samantha was so great! My cat was on antibiotics and not a very willing participant for med administration. Samantha was a pro and administered the meds without issue and gave Lilo great love and attention, so much so Lilo didn't even seem to notice we were gone. Thank you so much, will contact you again for our next trip!”

“Salina was an awesome sitter for our dog, Beck! Beck isn’t the easiest dog, but Salina got along really well with him and took great care of him! We would love to have her sit again for Beck sometime!”

“Lixanne was a pleasure to work with. She was on time and asked the right questions. Our dog had so much fun with her. We look forward to the next time we have a need because we trust Lixanne with our dogs needs.”

“Tayla is amazing!!!!! She went above and beyond taking care of my girls!!!! I am so happy to have found her to watch my 2 yorkies!! I will definitely be booking her as much as I can!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have also taken care of friends & coworkers pets on several occasions. I've trained my own dog in an office environment. I work fully remote so it's very easy for me to plan my day around pets. I have walking trails all around my building and plan out several walks throughout the day. My dog plays very well with other dogs so it would be a good form of stimulation throughout the day. I also like taking the dogs out for multiple walks throughout the day to get fresh air.

“Outstanding! Our first time having a sitter for our St. Bernard puppy. Heather couldn’t have been better. Came over, took him for a walk, played, sent us pictures and little updates. I got home from work and he was almost too tired to greet me. Would 100% recommend her to anyone in need.”

“Kat is fantastic! She jumped in and was able to stay an extra night last minute when my work trip got unexpectedly extended. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Janine was wonderful! She came and met our pup a few days before and made fast friends. She was on-time, responsible, and even brought in our mail. I need to find a reason to have Janine watch our pup again soon!!! She's fabulous!”

“(TL;DR: Emily is the best) We have been fortunate enough to have Emily as our go-to cat sitter for several years now, and I can honestly say she is amazing! Whenever she’s not available, I notice a difference in how relaxed we feel during our trips, even when we trust another sitter. There’s something about knowing she’s taking care of our cats that makes me feel truly at ease. Trust is everything when it comes to finding the right person to care for your pets and home, and we have absolutely no qualms about giving her the keys to our house. In fact, on the last day of our trips, we often have her hold onto them, just in case something unexpected happens—and we never stress about getting them back. She’s incredibly responsible and reliable, which makes this a non-issue. What really stands out, though, is how our cats react to her. They absolutely adore her, and sometimes I think they’re more excited to see her than they are when we come home (kidding...sort of!). It's clear they are in good hands and are well cared for, which gives us such peace of mind. I was also lucky enough to meet the dog she recently rescued, and I can confidently say she’s just as dedicated a dog mom as I am a cat mom. If you need dog care, I’m sure she’ll be equally attentive, loving, and reliable. For anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and loving pet sitter, Emily is exactly who you want. She goes above and beyond, and we (humans and pets) couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

About: I dog sit all of the time while having two dogs of my own at all times growing up, I currently have two at my parents house! I currently work part time, so my schedule is flexible and able to change accordingly. I am happy to discuss the needs of your pet if they need more attention. I will be able to properly give them the love, exercise and care they need while making sure that I am respecting the owners ideology on how to properly take care of their pets.

About: Our fully enclosed yard is flat and grassy, with sun and shade trees. Your pet can spend time inside or outside as they please. Our ranch style home is animal safe and set up for the enjoyment of our pets. We will adhere to your pets specific schedule and needs, including administering medications. We never run out of belly rubs, petting, or playing. I work from home and enjoy the company of pets. Our puppies are very loving and playful, not aggressive at all, and enjoy visits with other pups. Also, I only accept one guest dog at a time, so your pup will get all the attention they need. If your pet has not stayed with us before please request a meet and greet. I am recently retired so I have lots of time to spend with some of my favorite people, dogs. I don’t mind an occasional early morning or late night. In my home we have a large fenced in yard. In your home I would go by whatever routines you have established for your pet.

“Christine did a great job caring for my dog, managing daily meds and even socializing him by taking him on adventures after checking in with us! Highly recommend, she is a lovely sitter.”

“Emily was great! Arrived on time, was prepared to be flexible, and took great care of Gracie. She's a very calming influence on my lively reactive pup.”
