House Sitting Orleans

About: I grew up with cat and dogs, mostly inside cats, and a lot of kittens. I also have grown up with dogs, taking them for many for walks. I love all animals and treating them like family. I am a retired veteran who takes special care with the needs of your fur babies. Whether that means staying in your home or doing drop-ins, I am available. I am very attentive and do not leave animals outside unattended. I am also very respectful and have a great deal in attention to detail. I leave the house sitting the same way it started.

“The dogs were very happy with their care. They were happy as could be when we returned but seemed as if they had the best week possible. Very good communication without over communicating. We will for sure use Emily again”

Tina H.

“It was our first time using Marsha. She stayed I will book her again. She was responsive and communicated well. She sent pictures daily and walked our very active dog Track more than we requested. He loved it! She left the house neat and clean. I would recommend Marsha!”

Cheryl C.

“Kittiya took great care of my three dogs and the house while I was gone, and they had a great time! I appreciated the daily updates and photos. We will definitely book with her again!”

Sarah S.

“April did awesome with our puppy! I loved that she frequently sent me photos of him and kept me updated throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their furbabies.”

Hailey A.

“Chris did a great job house sitting for our golden retriever. Her communication was great, and she responded right away with updates whenever I checked in. The house was super clean when we got back, and she took good care of our baby. Would use Chris for house sitting again.”

Cinda C.

“Shannon was fantastic. She was able to come in and help us when we needed someone at the last minute. She has a way with dogs and was able to not only care for our pups but created an environment where they were comfortable. I couldn’t recommend Shannon any higher. She will be our go to Rover moving forward.”

Christopher B.

“Sarah did a great job staying with our pup for the week! We received regular updates and our dog was well taken care of while we were away. Sarah was also respectful of our home as well. We would gladly have her take care of Maya again in the future.”

About: I have taken care of a few puppies and helped them grow up, stay clean, stay fed and watered, and most importantly stayed entertained. A well entertained puppy/dog stays out of trouble. I currently don't have job so I can be available almost any time of the day. I tend to be a night owl so I can stay as late as need. Your pups will be taken out one at a time (if you have 2 or more), will be exercising and walked, I will follow your feeding schedule and amount per meal, and I am give meds if they are dosed beforehand.

“Jackie was fantastic! She really bent over backwards for us. Highest possible recommendation. She even took care our our chickens! Communication and level of care was 5 star. You can tell she is very invested in each animal she cares for. Thank you Jackie!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.

About: Though I primarily grew up with cats, I’ve always loved dogs and worked through a dog walking company a few years ago (the only reason I stopped was due to my vehicle being totaled after hitting black ice on the highway). I loved getting to know the personalities and tricks for each dog to keep them happy on walks and visits. For the last four years I’ve been working as a massage therapist and I often miss getting to interact with animals on a daily basis (aside from the ones at home that is). I understand the need for a caring and competent person to interact with and meet the needs of your furry loved one when your at work (or on vacation, etc.) and I am the person to show them that love and compassion. Im currently working part time at the end of the week so I have a good amount of time to take care of your fur baby. Though I'm not able to currently house or take care of pets at this moment, I have my two kitties at home that receive lots of love and attention.

About: I had a hamster, mice, and fish. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cats and a lovely farm dog. I had a pet dog who sadly passed last year, but he was my everything for the 5 years I had him. I am tired of working in the fast food industry so I would love the opportunity to leave and take care of animals full time. Anything and everything they need! I will take them for long walks, play with them, give them the extra love! They're family and deserve the best care they can get. <3

About: I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. With a deep passion for animals and a commitment to reliability, I treat every pet like my own, giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my part-time schedule because it offers flexibility, allowing me to plan visits around other commitments while still providing quality attention to each pet. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m available. I will care for your dog in the comfort of their own home, following their routine to keep them happy and stress-free while you're away. From feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles, I’ll provide attentive, loving care as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had the privilege of being able to take care of not only my own but many others pets. Every pet is unique and I love the love and happiness they share I am working part time currently and have free time to hang with your sweet baby and take of their needs! I’m very flexible and eager to work. I live in an apartment so I make sure my cat gets all of stimulation and multiple different forms since we have a smaller home than most. I also take my cats on walks as a form of enrichment

“It was a pleasure to have Alyssa in our home. Her availability was exactly what we needed for our older dog and her communication with us was great! Our dog was well cared for and our home was clean when we arrived back home. Will definitely book her again for future trips!”

About: I’ve been working with animals ever since I got a job. It’s definitely one of my passions in life and I can’t wait to meet more animals everyday. I work at a pet store! I do work full time about 40 hours a week. My schedule does vary but I’m very flexible and would love to figure out what works best for us both. I have two dogs so unfortunately I can’t do sitting at my house but would be willing to do whatever else works. I can do drop ins, house sit, or just take them for walks.

“Jessica was so great with our ladies. She was very good at keeping me posted on how everyone was doing with photos and updates! Our house was just as we left it when we arrived back home, and pets seem very happy! Thank you Jessica! We’ll definitely be working with you again.”

About: I’ve taken care of many different fury friends since I was a kid. I have currently have a dog of my own, but enjoy quality time with all animals:) I just graduated PA school and have not found a job yet, so I’m looking to make extra money. I have pretty open availability during the week. I love all animals! I respect all homes and make sure to leave everything better than I found it! I appreciate any tips/tricks to give your animal the best experience possible.

“Excellent service. Jenny was well cared for and I think my apartment was cleaner than I left it. Thanks!”
