House Sitting in Ottawa Hills

“Outstanding sitter. Kept us informed and went beyond expectations in looking out for our dog’s health and happiness. He and our cat like her a lot. Will definitely hire again.”

“Genah did an amazing job house and pet sitting for us. We have two needy dogs and two elderly cats on meds who need to have their food intake tracked daily. She handled everything wonderfully. Our house was in perfect order when we returned after 2 full weeks. Thank you Genah! I sincerely hope your schedule is open the next time we need a vacation!”

“Bobbi was incredible! Everyday I would get an update on how my cat was doing along with some very cute pictures that she would take and share with me while I was gone! I came home to a clean house and a very thoughtful card. I would highly recommend Bobbi to watch your fur baby! She’s very dependable and trustworthy.”

“Evie was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our two pets and also our house while we were out of town. We came back to everything spotless and exactly how we left it, and two very happy babies ❤️ We will definitely be working with Evie again, and highly recommend her!”

“I rarely leave reviews because it can be time-consuming, and I do not have a lot of spare time usually. I am making an exception here, though, because this pet sitter was fantastic. Tille came to my rescue when I found myself in urgent need of a pet sitter after a cousin of mine tragically and unexpectedly passed away in his sleep at the age of 45. I have five dogs, and they had all the vaccinations needed for boarding except the K9 Influenza vaccinations, which are a relatively new mandatory requirement. Due to this, they were not eligible to be boarded at any dog boarding facility, and there was not enough time to get them all the vaccinations due to the two-week waiting period in between shots. One of my dogs is very protective and takes his duties very seriously, and had scared away two other sitters I spoke with prior to finding Tille when trying to make arrangements to attend the funeral in Washington DC, some 475 miles away. I was skeptical at first about the qualifications she claimed to have on her Rover profile, but within 5 minutes of meeting her, I knew she was the real deal. Her previous experience in working with dogs has given her the knowledge to work with aggressive and reactive dogs at an expert level. During our first greeting, she had me take my dogs outside to greet her so they would not feel as threatened by a stranger coming onto their territory. She loved them up with treats and affection and quickly won over their trust. I work in IT and have many expensive electronics in my house, way above and beyond what you might find in a typical home, and as such, I was very apprehensive about the idea of letting a stranger come and live in my house for three days while I was not just out of town, but a significant distance away as well. Given the nature of the circumstances, though, and her demonstrated knowledge working with the dogs that I witnessed firsthand, I went ahead and rolled the dice. I got home about an hour ago, and the house was clean, the bed was made up, the trash cans were taken out, and all the lights were off, and all my valuables, some of which were in very plain view, were exactly where I had left them three days prior. I will be using her again in the very near future for drop-in visits when I start a new job that is hybrid in nature, and I will be using her in July when I am going out of town for a wedding. Tille not only did the bare minimum required to care for the dogs, but she went above and beyond, following all of my instructions to a T, and I know this because I have cameras in the backyard and watched her play with them numerous times while I was away. I truly cannot highly enough recommend her or thank her for coming to my aid when I found myself in a real tough spot!”

“Mark was amazing with our two dogs. Our dogs went on several long walks, enjoyed playing in the back yard with their Mark’s dog and loved all the lap time and belly rubs that Mark gave them. Mark was great with sending pictures and videos of our puppies while we were gone, too. We’ll definitely pick Mark again and we’d highly recommend Mark to you.”

“Rani is an extremely caring individual with a great big intuitive heart. I have personally witnessed her go above and beyond to take care of any animal in need. I have no doubt she will make an amazing dog sitter as she has dog sat for me several times.”

“Aislynn B. is the best! Rex my fur buddy loved having her and Freddy stay and keep him company. Aislynn took Rex on regular walks, played with him, took lots of photo's and took great care of my house! I will definitely be using Aislynn again.”

“I'm so glad I found Dawn. She is very responsible. One day she saw that my dog was getting an ear infection and wrote to me, since this happens with Sophie regularly, I told her where to get the medicine and we started treatment without waiting for me to return from the trip. After her visits, my home is always clean and tidy. She always keeps me update. My pets is adore her. I highly recommended entrusting her with the take care of your pets.”

“Priyanka was wonderful with our two dogs and two cats! She was accommodating, reliable, and a wonderful communicator. We came back to four extremely happy furbabies! I highly recommend Priyanka and look forward to utilizing her services in the future ?”

“Livie did an amazing job watching my two dogs at my house. She kept in contact with me the whole time I was on vacation. She sent a text daily with pictures and a summary of the days activities. She also cleaned up after them in the backyard. The dogs loved their walks as well. She also gave them meds and supplements as requested. Would definitely recommend and would book her again.”

“Emily is great thank you for dealing with my goblins!”

“Cindie was absolutely wonderful to work with and Bubbles LOVED her. She stayed in my home with him and it all worked out perfectly. She is a seasoned sitter, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing while away! Highly recommend Cindie!”

“This was my second time booking with Zach. My two pups love when he comes to stay with them. Highly recommend for any of your dog sitting needs. Trustworthy, reliable, respectful, and professional.”

“Alexis was wonderful with our 4 yr old corgi, Jaxson. She watched him at our home for a week. She brought in our mail and Amazon packages and left our home and dog well cared for. She sent us several pictures of our dog and let us know that he was adjusting well. Jaxson looked very happy! Alexis is very responsible and we will definitely hire her again when the need arises. Thank you, Alexis!”

“Did an amazing job with my doggos! She asked very good questions during our meet and greet and she spent a lot of time hanging out with them and keeping them happy while I was away! I can’t wait to book with her again!”

“Cody was fantastic! He stayed at our place while we were on vacation, was very responsive with all coordination, and was incredibly patient with our older dog. I'm so grateful that we found him!”

About: I worked at a pet care facility, my job responsibility was to watch and observe dogs in play groups like dogs who come for doggy day camp or dog in the play and stay group who come to board over the night or couple days.

In the kennel I would clean dogs rooms, also wash dishes, help with feeding. I cannot wait to meet your pet! I love spending with dogs & cats cuddling etc. I career goal is to become veterinary technician either at a zoo or animal hospital.

“Having Ellen watch my dog Jack, was the best decision. I needed her to stay at my house for almost a week. My husband works from home so Jack is used to someone at home most of the time. I’ve had a couple of horrible experiences with other sitters (NOT through Rover) and I was so worried to leave him. When I came home he was his normal happy and goofy self. He wasn’t stressed or anxious. I wanted to cry I was so happy. She came over twice to meet him before we left. Jack doesn’t like too many people but he had a lot of fun with her. He likes and he kinda demands a set schedule and she was very receptive to his wants and his demands. I will 💯 ask her to watch him again. I don’t think I will ever have anyone else watch him”

“Victoria watched my pups while I was away for the weekend and was great!!! It gave us such peace of mind to get updates and have Victoria staying with our dogs! She was on time, communicated well and took great care of our house! We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
