House Sitting in Orwell

“Paige was an outstanding sitter for Princess, and a very separation anxiety, Panache. She made sure that his food was upstairs under my bed, so that he could access it. It does take her awhile to answer texts from me, but her care of my pets and home was excellent.”

About: I’ve had dogs since my 20s. My black lab recently passed away and I’m not ready to get another dog so I figured I would dog walk to get my fix! I am always watching the neighbors dogs and cats. I do have experience with puppies and the elderly. My business is that of Massage Therapy and I am also certified in Canine Massage! I have also included a picture collage of my home so that you know what to expect to see when you come in at any time. I am currently working from home so I am flexible every day of the week. I do schedule myself plenty of breaks every day of the week. This way I can properly take care of your pet. I would take care of your pet just like my own! I spoil them and they will never go hungry no matter if they’re at my home or yours

About: Hello! My name is Lois and I am 25 years old. I live with my fiancé Aaron, he is a wonderful man, gentle, and kind man. His love for animals is equal to mine. I am from Pittsburgh originally but, I have since moved to North Jackson! I live in a sweet, cozy, home. My property is very private, with lots of land for animals to play on safely. I will be the sole caretaker for your pet, and I am able to dedicate my full attention and provide round-the-clock care and attention for your pet. I have an almost 2 year old son, that I co-parent with his father. So he is here every other week, if you prefer to arrange a time when he is or isn’t here, for your or his safety. I 100% will do that. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs, all are very friendly and love other animals. They are absolutely great role models for other dogs. I occasionally foster dogs that need homes, and they are absolutely incredible. Our heeler is a very big charmer and is extremely playful. Our poodle is laid back, reserved, but definitely loves to play. They both love exploring and hiking. I am outside almost all day with them, and when it’s too hot we go out in intervals. Cool off, drink/eat, refresh, and we’re back outside playing and enjoying nature. Our closest neighbor is family, and they equally love animals, our dogs will visit for treats haha. If you’d would like our animals separate from any of your animals, I can arrange that. Just please let me know ahead of time! My experience with animals: I have been around dogs, cats, and exotic animals pretty much since I was born. I've always had a passion for animals, I truly love and value everything from the tiniest bug to the tallest horse haha. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (venomous and non-venomous) and fish. I have trained show dogs since the age of 13, and have ethically bred and assisted many litters alongside my mother and/or equally knowledgeable/highly experienced mentors. My mother was very passionate about showing dogs and was an amazing obedience trainer. She has won many shows and competitions across the country. To the point where she had #1 dogs for breed and in obedience. I have grown up and learned many techniques from her specifically. My mother and I, also have plenty of experience with rescue work, for many years we rescued dogs from high-kill shelters, we then rehabilitated them for many months before finding their destined home. We also have done years of rescue work with cats/kittens, rescuing injured and/or abandoned cats/kittens and rehabilitating them until they were eventually ready to go to their forever homes as-well. At one point in my life, I co-founded an exotic animal transport business. We traveled the country transporting exotic animals for zoos, rescues, conservations, and private collectors. At one point, having over 100 venomous/non-venomous reptiles. Obviously, I have left that behind now that I have my son. I also have alot of experience with poultry aswell, I used to raise and rescue ducks, chickens, and turkeys! I have worked in pet stores, spend lots of spare time studying, learning, and have had a lot of incredible mentors in my life. I can give advice in foods, toys, preventatives, and lots of other animal supplies. I can also give advice on any behavioral issues that your pet may have. I am currently training my poodle to be my personal service dog. I definitely have a passion for helping animals.. I find that many animals are sadly misunderstood, but every one is just as valuable and deserving of love as the next. If you are considering me as a pet sitter, please feel free to write me with any questions you may have. I’ll respond as soon as possible! Im more than willing to work on prices as-well, it’s hard to get by nowadays and I know things are easy. I’m honestly much more interested in meeting and caring for pets than making a profit from someone who just needs some help. Please feel free to look through the gallery of my photos, I would say 90% of the animals shown were either my personal pets or rescues. Otherwise, I was pet-sitting them! :) LOISW05421, https://www.rover.com/sit/loisw05421 *Discount code* I don’t work, I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I wake up at 7am and go to bed at 10pm. I have full availability! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I know how to manage dogs with anxiety, mental disorders, and some types of aggression. I have a variety of crates, if you would like me to use them. I would NEVER use a crate that is too small, and I would NEVER leave your dog alone in the crate unless you specifically request it. Your animal will be my top priority and concern, I will care and love them as if they were my own!

“She was amazing with my dogs! She loves them as much as they loved her. I will definitely use her again!”

“Kat did such an amazing job with all of our animals while we were out of town! She kept us up to date on everything and shared daily photos of the pets. She also kept our house very clean for us to come home to. She is very sweet with the animals and took such great care of them.”

About: Pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like family. I have doggy sat for a family friend for 3yrs, Zoe, and Zarley. They go out 4 to 5 times a day, they get treats for going boo boo outside. We run around the apartment and play as much as my bones will let me. I love having them here so much. I dont get them everyday, 4 to 5 times a month, overnight. Sometimes a few days, sometimes a week, or more. I take care of my mom, she has Dementia, and the fur kids love being next her, shes so happy and less stressed when they are here. She remembers alot when their here. I tend to cuddle with them all day & nite when they stay. I have a full time job working midnights. I get off at 7am, but don’t usually go to sleep till around 10am. I do not work Friday nights. My part time job is just Mon., we’d., and Fri, from 9am to 1pm. I have every other weekend off. I always put fur babies first in my home. I play with them as often as I can. They are allowed on the furniture and bed. No matter what I am doing, I will stop to take them out, or play with them. I DO NOT give for babies ppl food, their little digestive system mite not be able to handle it. If there is something extra that you say they need, and you don’t have, I will buy it for them. I remove any and everything off the floors, so they cannot get in it. If there is a special diet that they have, I will just need written instructions on how to prepare it.

About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs. My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.

“Kayla was great! She house sat for me and my cat for a few days. She hung out with him even if all he wanted to do was sleep on her lap. When she came for a meet and greet I learned she had to move to another state right around the time of my house sit, but despite that she didn't cancel and didn't even consider cancelling, even though it was probably an inconvenience for her to keep the job. I always look for last minute cancellations on reviews so to me the fact that she kept the job, even though it was a small one and probably inconvenient for her, speaks volumes about her reliability. She was even nice enough to give me a direct contact phone number for my peace of mind, I had an experience where I tried to call the Rover phone number and it didn't go thru so I always ask for real phone numbers. She was also great with my cat and really sweet to him even though he woke her up at 2am! Thanks so much kayla”

“Emma is a dream!!! I cannot recommend Emma highly enough! She took care of my two pups with so much love and attentiveness—it gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She sent regular updates, photos, and even FaceTimed me, which made me feel so connected. When I came home, the house was spotless, and my dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. Emma went above and beyond in every way!!! She’s reliable, kind, intuitive, and has a true gift with animals. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. I already hope to book her again!”

About: I offer comprehensive pet care services backed by a lifetime of experience with diverse animals, from small rodents to large breeds like my Irish wolfhound. Having had cats since I was 10, I'm skilled in managing multiple pets, including reptiles like my tortoise and various birds. I'm comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and have a proven record of reliable pet-sitting, ensuring their animals are well-fed, cared for, and happy. As a pet sitter with a weekday job from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM, I ensure your pets are well-cared for by providing a morning visit before work for feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or playtime. During my workday, I can arrange a midday visit. After work, I dedicate my time to your pets, offering walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles. Weekends are fully devoted to providing extra care, including longer walks, park visits, and any specific grooming or playtime activities your pets enjoy. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I begin by thoroughly understanding each pet's specific needs, routines, and any medical conditions. I ensure the home is pet-proofed and free of hazards, and I strictly adhere to the owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. Building trust involves gentle interactions, consistent routines, and positive reinforcement. For overnight stays, I maintain a calm and secure atmosphere, respecting the pet's usual sleeping arrangements and providing companionship. During dog walks, I use a secure leash, remain vigilant of the surroundings, and follow the owner's preferred walking routes and commands, always prioritizing the pets safety and well-being.

“Anna is great with my dogs and was even willing to take one to the vet when he started limping right before we left for our trip! Would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”

About: I pet sat a dog, puppy to senior for 3 years and walked her 7 years. I owned and took care of my cat for 15 years. Whenever possible, weekdays and/or weekends preferably afternoon time to evening! I am flexible to fit what’s available for my clients needs. Encouraged to help out anyway I can! During my childhood, my cat was an outdoor cat and we fed him according to schedule and health benefit to the cat. Accountability is important!
