House Sitting Neighborhood 9

“Amanda took really good care of our pets and made sure we could have a carefree trip. Would highly recommend her and definitely would book her again :)”

Kira T.

“Tam was fantastic and went above beyond. She took care of Abigail like I would and sent lots of photos and updates. She took care of our home, respected our space, and was very communicative. Can't wait to have her watch our little Abigail again.”

Karen S.

“Madeline is a great communicator and easy to schedule with. She was very attentive towards our pets and really cared for them. She’s very flexible with her schedule and was able to accommodate us within a short period of notice.”

Maribel R.

“Nicole was a lifesaver, our doggy developed some stomach issues right before my planned trip and Nicole was able to take care of her and even help me get her to her vet and start a care plan while I was away. Safe to say that she has my complete trust with my dog and there’s no one I would recommend more!”

Manuel G.

“Emily was so great with my cat! She paid a lot of attention to his behaviors and I could see he was having a good time when she sent update photos. We booked her for housesitting, and she did a perfect job. Would recommend her!”

Madison L.

“Cynthia did a great job taking care of my elderly cat Simon while I was away. He has some specific diet and medication things, and she made sure he was well taken care of. She communicated every day and I knew he was in good hands!”

Meghan H.

“Lelani is amazing and went beyond our expectations to love on Cash! She sends the most amazing updates with photos and loved ones our boy so much. It made having to be away so much easier. She left our place spotless, which was a surprising plus.”

Kelley D.

“Alice is the absolute best- she went far and above our expectations when she stayed in our apartment with our pitty mix Marshall. She sent pictures from every walk she gave him and from their cuddles on the couch- it really helped put our minds at ease that Marshall was safe, taken care of, and was having fun while we were on vacation. In addition to caring for Marshall, Alice washed, dried, AND folded the dirty laundry we left in the washer. She also completely washed, dried, and folded the towels and bedding she used. She even made the bed with the clean sheets! We didn't expect that from her, but it really eased our return to normal life- not having to wash the bedding and make the bed. She left a handwritten note detailing her weekend with Marshall and how much fun they had together. We will definitely work with Alice again!”

Taylor H.

“We highly recommend Rosie for sitting and walking. She was very patient, understanding, loving, and most importantly adaptable to the care our dog needs. I have to admit that our pup isn't the most trusting or friendly at first. With tenderness, care, and a lot of treats she quickly built a bond with our dog and allowed us to rest our minds whenever we left our pooch with her. She was also very flexible with our requests, as long as we provided her with a 24-hour notice. We can't thank her enough for allowing us the peace of mind while we were away. THANK YOU!”

Sergio A.

“Yeji was super responsive with us and very kind to our beagle - playing fetch, following her feeding schedule, and being attentive to her. Our doggo can be anxious but was in good hands with Yeji!”

Rachel B.

“Aaron was a lifesaver. I had a last-minute situation where I had to travel. Essentially, with very little notice, I needed somebody who could commit to staying the entire day with my dog, Lulu. No problem for Aaron. He did everything I asked of him. And you can tell that he loves animals. I’m recommending him to my neighbors who often need a dog walker. I would definitely hire Aaron again. He is 100% reliable. Don’t hesitate for a second, if you need a sitter/walker. Aaron is outstanding!”

Stephen C.

“Alex provided the absolute best care for our dog Lady over 3 nights at our house. She left our house looking spotless and Lady was taken care of incredibly well. She was an excellent communicator and provided regular updates throughout the stay. We will 100% be using her again and are at ease having found someone we can completely trust with our home and dog. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Drew H.

“Traci has great energy and will do everything in her power to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She is an exceptionally responsible, quick-learning sitter, and an excellent communicator. Plus, she seriously makes the best shortbread cookies I have EVER tasted. We will not hesitate to book her again!”

Laura G.

“Nathan was a stellar home / dog sitter while we were away for a week. He kept good care of our dog and home, providing helpful updates and showing our dog a great time.”

Patrick S.

“Ana was a great caretaker for Rex and Lily! She provided daily photo updates and helped them stick to their usual routine while we were gone for a long weekend. Lily immediately clung to her during our meet and greet which is often unusual given her anxious nature. She was very respectful of our space and left everything nice and clean. We would happily rebook her in the future.”

Caitlyn B.

“Tanya did a wonderful job taking care of Bernie and also left our house in mint condition. She communicated well and kept us posted on how things were going. We'd highly recommend her to others!”

Linda M.

“Sabina was wonderful! Made friends with our reactive dog very quickly! She also took care of him during a power outage, and we are so grateful. We came back to a happy and relaxed lil guy!”

Julia C.

“Victoria stayed at my house for 5 days and cared for my elderly cat, who needs daily medication. She sent frequent updates and photos and took great care of my dear Nanette. She left the house clean and neat. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and recommend her highly.”

About: Certified in Pet CPR & First Aid 🐾 Thanks for clicking on my profile! I believe house-sitting is fundamentally an act of stewardship. My goal is simple: when you walk back through your front door, everything feels exactly as it should. Your home is peaceful, your pets are happy, and you can tell they have been genuinely cared for. 🐾 Every animal has its own personality, and earning their trust is one of my favorite parts of this work. 🐾 As a home-owner myself, I understand how to manage properties, schedules and routines and how to create a warm, safe environment for your pets. 🐾 Because I work remotely as an author and book editor, I’m able to provide a steady, reassuring presence throughout the day rather than simply stopping in for visits. Whether I’m editing a manuscript from your dining table or writing with a cat asleep beside me, your pets will enjoy quiet companionship and consistent routines. 🐾 I’m new to Rover, but I have more than twenty verified five-star pet-sitting reviews on Trusted Housesitters. Many of my previous Trusted Housesitters clients have been gracious enough to upload their testimonials to Rover. 🐾 Most of my clients are academics, researchers, physicians, writers, and other professionals who travel for conferences, sabbaticals, research, or extended holidays. They aren’t simply looking for someone to feed the pets—they’re looking for complete peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾 Over the past several years I’ve cared for homes and animals in more than ten countries. My experience ranges from city apartments in Boston, Amsterdam, and Paris to historic homes, farms, country cottages, and rural retreats worldwide. 🐾 I’ve cared for rescue animals, blind cats, elderly dogs, anxious pets during thunderstorms and fireworks, post-surgical kittens, and animals requiring medication. I’ve even helped a mother cat give birth. 🐾 Long-term house sitting often involves much more than pet care, and I’m comfortable handling the unexpected with calm professionalism. I’ve managed realtor showings while homeowners were abroad, coordinated with utility workers and neighbors, helped oversee an Airbnb during a plumbing emergency, cared for animals while owners exhibited artwork at an international art fair, and managed the daily operations of farms and historic homes. I enjoy solving problems quietly before they become worries for the people who have entrusted me with their homes. 🐾 Before becoming an editor, I spent twenty years as the spouse of a U.S. Air Force servicemember, an experience that instilled habits of reliability, discretion, punctuality, cleanliness, and adaptability. Living internationally also taught me how to stay calm in unfamiliar situations and make thoughtful decisions when circumstances change unexpectedly. As a freelance book editor and writer, I work remotely and set my own schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Whether I’m writing from the couch with a cat curled beside me or taking regular breaks for walks, playtime, and companionship, your pets will rarely be left alone for long. Caring for someone’s pet also means caring for their home. After more than twenty successful house sits and dozens of five-star reviews, I’ve developed a reputation for being calm, dependable, tidy, and attentive. I follow routines carefully, communicate promptly, and treat every home with the same respect and care I would hope someone would show mine. My goal is always for owners to return to a happy pet and a home that feels exactly as they left it.

“Justin is reliable, communicative, and a very thoughtful house sitter! Loki and Freyja both seemed to enjoy their time with him greatly. He handled both dogs' needs well, sent lots of photo and video updates, and made me feel secure that both pups were well taken care of while I was away.”
