Top rated Orwell house sitters
“Five stars is not enough! I really cannot say enough good things about Kaylah. She showed up promptly for the meet and greet, she took actual notes on the dogs, their behavior, and their routine. She listened to us describe their many quirks and she knew exactly how to handle our fearful dog, Sabrina. She was super communicative and sent us pictures of the dogs hanging out, which was wonderful because it was their first time being without us.”
“Jessica and Matthew were wonderful! My dog is an anxious boy who doesn’t warm up to people easily. They were patient and kind and as a result Astro adored them! They were extremely courteous house guests. We will definitely be using them in the future”
“Kate did amazing with our dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. She helped my own anxiety of leaving my fur babies by sending lots of updates, pictures, videos, and responding quickly to messages. Kate left our home exactly as we left it. I highly recommend Kate to everyone!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. Many different kinds, including dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, etc. I will treat your pet with love and kindness. I have a job where I make my own schedule. If you decide to board your pet with me, I will be on premises at all times. For boarding, I have a decent size fenced in back yard. I do have a 7 year old husky that has gone to daycare. He's been around a lot of different dogs. If your dog needs to be crated, I can do that as well. I am available to come feed your animal in your home. I can let them out and walk them if needed.
“Julia was such a great dog sitter for my dog. He’s used to me being around 24/7 so I’m always worried about leaving him home alone. She took great care of him and put up with all his weird quirks and routines.”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of pets over the years. I enjoy being around animals and showing them love because they do the same for us! I have a genuine love for taking care of things if I can help it and I’m going to school to even become a nurse. I also started a house plant hobby. Taking care of things is just in my blood. I’m available more in the evenings . My schedule is flexible but inconsistent because I’m part time at my jobs but we can discuss availability if you book me to take care of your pet(s)! I have a fenced in back yard and just one cat. I’m able to keep them separated if needed. I also have my own home and it’s a smoke free one! I’m very clean and clean my home daily. I let my cat on the couches so yours will be allowed the same if they are not dirty of course.
About: With 3+ years of professional experience working with animals, as well as 26 years of being surrounded by hundreds of pets of my own, my goal is to create the best, most memorable time for your animal friends. I treat every animal as if it's one of my own. From dogs to cats, rodents to reptiles, ducks to goats, and from newborn to senior, sick or in good health, I have cared for and nurtured just about any domesticated animal throughout all stages of life and am here to make sure that, no matter what, each and every animal is as happy as can be, because they deserve it. Four years ago, I lost my dog, Sugar, who I had since I was nine years old. We grew up together, and she meant everything to me. I've been trying to figure out how to fill that void ever since she left, but it's been tough man. Then I came across Rover. Now, I get to spend time with everyone else's dogs, and I see Sugar in every single one of them, which makes me want to give them the time of their lives. I appreciate everyone letting me watch after their pets. Most people do this for money; I do it, genuinely, because I love animals. Not just dogs, not just cats, but everything else in between. I've worked on farms and at pet stores, volunteered at animal shelters, fostered cats and rabbits, and even bred rodents for years - not to sell, but rather, just to care for and love. So this definitely is not limited to just canine and feline friends. I will care for any kind of animal. I have experience with them all. I work as a supervisor on 3rd shift right across the street from my house at a pet food manufacturing plant, making it super easy to take great care of your pet even throughout the night. I am home all day from 8am until 10pm, so there is really not much time ever where I won't be able to give your pet the care that it needs! I have a fenced yard with lots of room for your dog to run outside freely and plenty of room inside as well for a dog or cat or any other animal to roam about and go wherever their little heart desires. I have a young indoor cat who is very friendly and playful, a senior cat who stays in hiding, as well as two pet ducks that roam the yard who love friends. They have an enclosure of their own to lock them in if you are unsure of how your pet may react to ducks.
About: Animals and nature have been my greatest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve been exposed to, and well acquainted to a variety of animals, including fish, rodents, reptiles, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a baby squirrel rescue! I am also a volunteer dog walker at my local shelter, which is my therapy and brings me great happiness. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were eight weeks old. They are my entire world. I am knowledgeable in basic dog training and obedience, and very observant and understanding of animal behavior. Nothing brings me more joy and happiness in life than being surrounded by the love and purity of animals. I currently have open availability. I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule and I am open to what works best for you and your pets needs. I am with my dogs all day everyday. They get all of my love and attention. I constantly monitor for potential hazards and act accordingly in order to limit any risks. Cleanliness and order is my main priority as I value a clean and tidy home. I have fresh water out all day and I feed them twice a day. My dogs get a specialized high end kibble which I supplement with fresh meat, organ, eggs, fruits, veggies, goats milk, coconut oil, bone broth, salmon oil, turmeric and a daily vitamin. I wash my dogs as needed or every two weeks. I brush their teeth, fur, and clip their nails weekly as well. I only have high quality chew bones and other toys available that don’t pose a risk as my dogs are heavy chewers.
About: Hi! I'm Colleen and I love animals! I currently have a 1 year old puppy named Sammy, who we adopted from the Humane Society when he was a few weeks old. We just lost our 17 and 16 year old dogs Tommy and Marta and we miss them terribly. I've owned a doberman names Zeus, a jack russel/pug Tommy Lee, a chihuahua/dauschund named Marta, and Sammy who is a chihuahua/pug/boston terrier/dauschund. I'd love to stop in an check on/or let out your pets, or stop by for walks:) I have wide open availability, day and night! I am a stay at home mom with two kids in school. Looking to make some extra money. I am a stay at home mom so your animals would not be alone at all! I love all animals! Happy to help and love on yours while you're away!
“Tess was a wonderful sitter for my elderly pup. He is quite on in years, and she was patient with him and his special needs, for that I am thankful. Her training and experience with elderly dogs put my mind at ease while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her as a great dog sitter.”
“First time using rover and messaged with a couple people before booking Charity. Wasn’t sure I’d like using this for my pup after speaking with other sitters but Charity was fantastic! Pretty sure my pup was disappointed when I walked in the door after my trip instead of her. Very responsive, accommodating, and professional. Won’t use anyone else but her. She could easily be charging double what she is and it would be worth it.”
About: I have extensive experience with dogs of all ages, having watched and cared for them throughout my high school and college years. Growing up in a household with dogs, I developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. From rambunctious puppies that needed patience and gentle training to senior dogs requiring extra care and attention, I’ve handled a wide range of canine companions from chihuahua’s to Bernese mountain dogs. My genuine love for dogs, coupled with my years of experience, makes me well-equipped to ensure the happiness and well-being of your furry friends. I make taking care of my pet a priority throughout the week and would do the same with yours! I take my dog on long walks daily and prioritize fun activities like swimming or parks on the weekends. There is always someone available to give your pet love attention whether that be myself or my partner who lives with me. I currently live in a two bedroom apartment that is dog-safe and friendly as I have my own dog! I live within walking distance to a small private dog park where I take my dog daily. I spend most of my ri
About: I have cared for the pets of family members and friends since I was a teenager, and truly love providing animals a safe, engaging environment to be their adorable selves! I promise to care for your pet like my own! As a swing shift employee, I only offer services on my days off, so you can be sure your pet will have my attention, time, and care during it’s stay! I have a large, unfenced yard on a quiet road to provide plenty of leashed walks throughout the day/evening. I have a very friendly, 40 pound hound dog to be your pet’s friend during the day! My dog, Bailey (as seen in my profile picture), is crated at night because it suits her best, however I will care for your pet whether you prefer them crated or free-range at night! I have an adorable tabby cat, Pippi, who may come out to greet your pet but typically prefers to stay by herself.
