Top rated Novelty house sitters
“I cannot say enough good things about Anthony. This is the second time we've used him and he is very professional. He even left our dog a little goody bag of treats/toys. Highly recommend!”
“Alisa is AMAZING! She was so thorough with Mabel and sent plenty of updates while we were away, to ensure Mabel was getting the best care. Not only that, but Alisa took the time to tidy things around the house after being there for five days. I swear we came back to a cleaner house than how we left it! She is thoughtful, considerate, and so caring. She took such great care of Mabel and we will definitely book again!”
“Dana came and stayed with my two dogs for three nights and four days. She was fantastic! Very attentive and a great houseguest on top of being wonderful with the dogs! Will absolutely be using her again!”
“Abigail took care of our cat and dog for a week while we were out of town. It’s always nerve-wracking to leave your pets with someone new, but I felt much more at ease after meeting her and seeing how quickly both of our girls flocked to her. She’s not able to spend the night because she has to take care of her own fur baby at home, but she still spent several hours with our girls each day. During that time, she gave them both lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, and exercise. She was very communicative about what was going on with them, and she sent tons of pictures. She did a fantastic job, and I highly recommend her!”
“Courtney is so kind and sweet. All 3 of my dogs loved her and she sent me pictures and updates. Very respectable and will continue to use her again!”
“We would absolutely recommend having Shari care for any of your pets while you are away. We went overseas for 15 days and hired Shari to stay at our house to care for our 4 cats and 2 huskies. She was amazing. The dogs had a ton of walks, all animals were well taken care of. Shari was also an excellent house sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Shari again for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you so much Shari!!”
“If I could leave 10 stars then that would be my rating for Sandra! My dogs love her and they are very calm when she is around. It felt like I left my beloved animals with a family member. Thank you Sandra!”
“Octavia took such good care of our 3 pups while my family and I were out of the country. She contacted me with any questions, sent lots of pics/updates, and the house was clean and tidy when we returned. I highly recommend Octavia!”
“Devaney is by far the best dog sitter! She made us 100% comfortable having her stay at our home to watch our dog. Daily pictures and videos were sent. She really went the extra mile to keep our home in good order when we returned, including changing our clocks for daylight savings time. Highly recommended!”
“Nicole did a great job adjusting to last minute changes in watching Maxine. There was a last minute need to administer meds and ointments and keep an eye on a surgical wound. Nicole did a great job adjusting to the situation. Thanks for that.”
“Everything was just great! Our puppy Riley just loves her, our older guy likes his space, but sweet. She gave updates and pics. We feel very comfortable having her sit again.”
“Dalvane was an incredible dog sitter. He watched our two dogs and a cat for 8 days. One of dogs can be particularly hard to deal with and by the end of the week Dalvane was his best friend. The house was left clean and everyone was happy. Dalvane was very communicative and willing to go the extra mile to make the dogs happy. I highly recommend Dalvane's services.”
“Pups love Shay, easy to schedule and work with. Look forward for more pup visits”
“Lindsay watched our pets for 5 days in our home and did a fantastic job. She is responsible, the dogs love her and we felt confident being out of town. She truly loves pets and is dedicated to doing a great job. I highly recommend her services .”
About: I’ve owned and cared for my own dogs for over 25 years, all of them rescues. I have a deep love for animals and a soft spot for those in need. My pets have always been part of the family, and I’m known for spoiling them with love, attention, and treats (within reason!). I’ve nursed several of my dogs through illnesses, always going the extra mile to make them feel safe and cared for. I bring that same level of compassion and commitment to every pet I look after. I’m recently retired after 31 wonderful years with Chardon Local Schools, and now I have the time and flexibility to focus on something I truly enjoy — caring for animals. I’m home most of the day, which means your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit or taking your dog for a walk, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care you gave Luigi during our trip! You went above and beyond. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. We returned to a happy pup!”
“THE PERFECT PET SITTER! Katy is trustworthy, communicative, flexible, and caring—I swear she took better care of Penny than we do! Katy followed every one of my psychotic instructions, sent us so many great videos and photos, and kept us informed at all times. She was proactive in confirming appointment times and asking questions, and most of all—she kept our pup entertained the entire time with walks, toys, outdoor play, runs, and lots of extra affection. I couldn’t ask for better. Thank you Katy!!”
“Holly was amazing.”
“We had a wonderful experience using to Kelly to house sit for our pups. She took care of them as if they were her own and provided many amazing photos and updates throughout. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

Lindsey was awesome! She was so communicative throughout the day about how our pups were doing. They were happy and at ease when we came home. She is such a sweet soul and truly loves animals. Thank you, Lindsey!
Lindsey was awesome! She watched our 2 dogs and cat during the day and overnight. She was very attentive to our “girls” needs and contacted us when she had a question. Lindsey sent pictures and the girls were very happy when we got home. The house was immaculate. We look forward to having Lindsey house sit our girls again in the future!
