House Sitting Northwest

“Just moved to the area for work and Arden was our hero when we needed someone for nine days! She took such incredible care of our pup and made us feel completely safe with me being new to this area and not knowing anyone. We came back from our trip to a happy puppy who played and was well loved during our time away. She will be our go to at all times! Mieka was crazy about her ❤️”

“Stephanie was wonderful! She loved on my dog as her own. I’ll definitely book her again!”

Mandy F.

“Audrey was GREAT!! She kept us informed every day of how our babies were doing. Even sent pictures of them. We already have her booked for the rest of our trips this summer!”

“Our boys loved Sam. She did a great job of sitting them at our home and the following the boys’ somewhat wonky “procedures” that I do when it comes to medication feeding and making things “even.” She would talk to them like we do and would send pics which is super nice to ease my mind. Will definitely rebook again when needed and or just so the boys can see her again!”

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc! I’m a huge believer that they’re like family! I had a dog of my own for most of my life that was blind and diabetic, so I’m familiar with taking care of dogs of old age and medical care. I currently work as a flight attendant as well so my schedule varies week to week! I typically have spans on days on/off that make it easy for me to take care of your pets for several days! I live in an apartment that has sidewalks and grass all around, it’s a pet friendly complex:) I have no other pets or children that affect the environment. I’m also nearby a jogging trail that I love to take pets on for walks!

“Megan took great care of our two dogs. She sent lots of pictures to keep us up to date, and left the house tidy. Would definitely book with her again.”

“Penelope was absolutely incredible! Our situation is a bit unique since we have donkeys, goats, and horses in addition to our cats, but she handled everything with so much care and attention. I can be very particular about how my animals are cared for, and Penelope followed every detail perfectly. While we were gone for two weeks, she kept me at ease with frequent updates and photos, which I truly appreciated. On top of taking such great care of the animals, she was respectful of our home, kept everything clean, and even did her own laundry before leaving. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in her hands. I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person for the job, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Penelope, for everything—you’re a gem!”

Hunter S.

“An absolutely wonderful lady that has amazing communication, will definitely be booking with her again. She is kind and patient with the animals and I couldn’t be happier with her service.”

“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”

Kristin M.

“Jacqueline did a great job caring for our animals! Very attentive and followed our instructions !”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including both household pets and ranch animals. I’m currently a nursing student with a background in the medical field, which has taught me responsibility, attention to detail, and how to remain calm in stressful situations. I treat every animal with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I’m currently a student and have classes Monday through Thursday from 12:00 PM to 1:40 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, over night and weekend bookings. I keep my calendar up to date and will always communicate promptly to ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind, and I’ll always treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, or overnight stay, you can count on me to provide dependable, compassionate care and plenty of attention for your pet.

“Our first time using Staphanie for our 4 furbabies. She was able to fit them in her busy weekend and care for all of their needs! Great communication! We enjoyed having her and will be using her in the future.”

“Thank you so much Tisha and Wayne for coming to our house in San Antonio to stay while we were on vacation. You took great care of our girls as you always do. We are so glad you were willing to come to our house to watch the dogs. We really appreciate the fact that the girls could stay in their own place and have a lot of fun playing with their buddies too. Tisha and Wayne are such great people and we felt completely comfortable having them stay in our home while we were away. (this is the first time anyone has ever stayed at our house without us being there too.) We hope we can do this again in the future!! Love you both!”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.

“Karen is great with our babies. They really loved her and we felt comfortable going away with her watching them. Can’t want to continue to use her services in the future. 10/10 recommend her!”

“Margaret was awesome!! Skipper had a great time and was very well taken care of. We got updated throughout every day and she was super transparent and kind! We will definitely be hiring her again and highly recommend her!”

About: I have two dogs of my own and I dog sit for friends and family. We have a small home but give plenty of out door fun all day long for those energetic puppies Weekends are mainly open for us. We would rather stay home with our pups then going out. If we do go anywhere our dogs are kennel trained. We will soon have a fenced yard but for now we use leashes for outdoor walks, runs and lots of play time to get that energy out of the puppies. Our dogs have their own futon and lots of toys to keep them busy indoors as well.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets and I love what I do. Meeting new animals and being able to give a sense of peace to the owners while they are away is fulfilling. I like helping anyway that I can. I work at a Vet clinic so I see animals every day already so spending time with more animals is an added bonus. I work at a veterinary clinic full time. I work 10 hour shifts 4 times a week. Always off on Sundays. Rotate shifts on Saturdays. As long as you’re comfortable with my hours then I’ll make the pet sitting experience fun and enjoyable. I slowly approach the animals that are new to me to give them time to get used to me before they meet me. I like to gain a bonding experience by either going out for a walk with them or playing with a favorite toy of theirs to gain respect.

“Stephanie kept our girls for the weekend. It was a last-minute request and we needed a house sitter. She accepted and kept them and our home safe. She took them on their walks and even checked on our cat, who is self-sufficient. She communicated well and sent detailed updates with photos. We’d be happy to have her back in our home, taking care of our babies. Thank you, Stephanie!”
