House Sitting in Monticello

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I don’t remember a time without them. I have worked with a lot of animals that needed medications for healthcare problems. I do currently work a full time job and a volunteer job but I am looking to expand my horizon and spend more time with animals. My pets have a fenced in yard at home, I do also have a barn that I love to take the dogs out to to run at.

“Mara took great care of our three big dogs while we were gone for the weekend. They all seemed happy and followed their normal routines with her while we were away. She sent pictures and let us know how they were doing. We hope to have her back the next time we leave town.”

“Rhandee did a great job with our pups and was very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dogs prior to our trip, which was super appreciated. We would definitely book her again!”

“Nathan was the best! Quick to respond and very accommodating, he took great care of our dog while we were out of town for the weekend. Look forward to working with him again.”

“For anyone looking for a trusting and loving person to care for their family, there is no need to look any further. Christine is an exceptional pet sitter who truly goes above and beyond in her care for our dogs and cats. We recently entrusted her with our furry family members for several days, and she exceeded all our expectations. Our dogs (two large unruly huskies), who can be quite a handful, were handled with such love and care, that they are happier to see her than they are when they see us returning home. It actually makes me a little jealous of how much they like her. Every day, Jessie sent us delightful photos and videos of our pets, keeping us updated and reassured. It was such a joy to see our pets happy and well cared for while we were away. Her communication was consistent and thoughtful, ensuring we never had to worry about their well-being. When we returned home, we were amazed to find the house even cleaner than when we left it. Her attention to detail and dedication to her work are truly commendable. Our pets were not only well-fed and exercised but also showered with affection and care. We genuinely appreciate Christine for the outstanding job she does. It’s such a relief to have someone we can trust completely with our beloved pets and our home. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. She is a true gem and an invaluable part of our life. Thank you Christine, you're the best!!!”

“Amanda was a godsend when our house sitter cancelled last minute. We met her first then her with her dog, Sedona, and I knew right away this would work out really well. You see my dog, Millie, doesn’t warm up to people easily and doesn’t always play nice with other dogs but Millie instantly liked both of them. Amanda stayed at our house along with Sedona, so Millie was spoiled having her two new friends stay with her. They went on many walks and Amanda sent me lots of pictures while we were gone. I will definitely use Amanda again!”

About: I am currently working towards becoming a dog trainer, with experience working with multiple dog sizes and breeds. Recently certified in dog CPR/first aid, and have experience with puppy training. Experience with senior dogs. Our family had to say goodbye to our 12-year-old Golden Retriever, Frank “The Tank,” last January. By the end of his life, he had peripheral neuropathy in his hips, an eye taken out due to stage 2 glaucoma, high blood pressure, and ear drops given constantly because of food allergy flare-ups. I have experience with dogs that have mobility problems, food allergies, and administering ear medication/ear canal cleanings. I have dog handling experience, some dog behavioral issue experience I also want to clarify, it states “no children present.” The questionnaire ask if there were children present under a certain age. My youngest is 15-years old. Most services require a two-week notice due to my work schedule, but walking dogs is a bit more flexible. Currently, I can't offer dog boarding because of my commitments. When I sit at my place all day and board, I have a fenced-in backyard. I would be outside with them because of our inground pool. The house has hardwood floors/laminate. I throw area rugs down for dogs who have mobility problems or trouble getting up after lying down

“We (and our dogs) loved having Nicole sit for us. She is an excellent communicator and took care of our pups like they were her own. I’d absolutely have her stay with our dogs again—and based on their lukewarm reaction to us coming home, I think they’d like to see her again too. 🤣”

“She did a wonderful job. Sent daily updates and respected the house. Even delt with my nosy neighbor. Will be using her for future dog sitting!”

Jessica S.

“What a great experience!! Manu is great, Paco was so well cared for in his own home. Manu took the time to meet him and then to tend to his needs while caring for him. She always kept in touch and took beautiful pictures. I am happy I found Manu. Will certainly go back to her. I highly recommend her. Thanks Manu!!!!”

“Avery was lovely! She did a great job taking care of my two dogs, one of which is older and does not walk well. He takes some special care and she went the extra mile to make sure he was happy and comfortable. The house looked just like I left it and the dogs were totally happy and chill when I got home. I will book Avery in the future for sure!”

“Abigail did a great job of caring for our furry four! They loved her and were very comfortable right away. We really enjoyed having her and hope to have her sit for us again! 😊”

About: I’ve been helping care for my families dogs since I was little, doing things such as cleaning up after their messes, giving them their meds, taking them on walks, and simply just spending time with them and giving them the interaction they need. I’m currently looking for a part time job aside from Rover, so I’ll have as much time as needed to come help care for your pets! Nearly anytime of the day, I can come over and walk your pets, feed them, clean up their areas, or just simply spend some time with them. I’m able to come over nearly anytime and watch your pets, feed them, clean them, or whatever you need! I can give them meds, crate them, walk them, etc.

“I can't recommend Kate enough! My doggo (Kooper) has some separation anxiety. When I reached out to Kate we discussed what her home would be like for a dog. I was a little nervous, because typically we ask sitters to come and stay at our house but decided that we would do a meet a greet to see how that went. Kate, Cody, Gus (dog), and Poe (cat) made our dog and us so comfortable. Gus and Kooper got along great and even though Koop has never been around cats, him and Poe were fast friends! Kate has a great yard for playing and her schedules allows for lots of 1:1 time with the pets. Kate was flexible, provided consistent updates, and was extremely responsive with her communications. Everything went wonderfully! Kooper was sent home happy, safe, and with a positive report card and goodies. I will definitely be connecting with Kate again about future visits!”

“Zachary was a wonderful dog sitter and very flexible! Tofu got so much exercise and lots of cuddles. Would definitely have her stay with Zachary again :)”

“Christina was very attentive to Kya and sent lots of updates and pictures.”

“Lensy was amazing with my two pups, including meds, walks, and lots of love and attention, which is what they need. She’s great with communication and updates, and took excellent care of my two doggos!”

About: I have cared for puppies and senior dogs within a doggy daycare setting. I have administered medication/insulin. I always make sure they use their energy. I currently am working part time at a doggy daycare. So I will have plenty of time to make sure your animals are cared for. I always make sure they are well taken care of and always get the utmost amount of love and care they deserve. Along with treats.

“We had an amazing experience with Jesse! She took wonderful care of both our dog and our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was incredibly attentive, super kind with our pets, and clearly loved spending time with them. She even surprised our dog with some plush toys before she left, which meant so much to us. When we came back, both of our pets were completely relaxed and happy, which says everything about the level of care they received. On top of pet care, she was a huge help with things around the house when they came up and shared really helpful advice for managing our dog’s allergies. We truly felt supported the entire time we were away. We couldn’t be happier with her care and will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip. Highly recommend.”
