House Sitting in Otter Creek

“Maggie was great with our cats. Super responsive and a great problem solver. House was well taken care of and the cats weren’t anxious upon our return.”

“Glendon was absolutely amazing with our reactive pup, Desmond while we were out of town for a few days. He has separation anxiety and can be tough to settle but Glendon was patient and persistent and they soon became buddies. This was a major accomplishment because Desmond usually prefers females over males. Glendon was also available on a very short notice and flexible with the times we requested which helped us out immensely. Our house was clean when we returned and he even made us food so we didn’t have to cook after traveling all day. This was the first time a new person has looked after Desmond and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands :)”

“Ashley was a terrific house/pet-sitter while I was out of town for several days. Communicated well, provided updates and my pup had a wonderful time with her!”

Andrew G.

“Celeste is the best! You know those people you just instantly trust? Celeste is that person! She was communicative, thoughtful and so caring for my two dogs. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Emily N.

“Extremely flexible with the last minuteness of our trip, scheduled a meet and greet beforehand even with a busy schedule, took excellent care of our dog while away, followed instructions, and went above and beyond to pick up our house afterwards. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“Jasmine was so sweet and caring with Kiwi. Kiwi has some special needs, she has separation anxiety and is in the beginning stages of degenerative myelopathy. Jasmine took great care of Kiwi and even got her through a thunderstorm. We are so glad that Jasmine became Kiwi's friend. Jasmine is patient and her demeanor is so cool and collected. We are very thankful for Jasmine keeping Kiwi safe and loved.”

“Chloe is a fantastic dog sitter. She is extremely caring for our dogs and for our concerns for our dogs. She sent pictures and updates regularly while we were out of town, washed her sheets and all the dishes and left the dogs happy. I couldn’t be happier!”

Rachel K.

“Rosie was amazing!!! I have 2 needy Aussies who need a lot of exercise!! She walked and played with them daily and sent me updates on the regular! Highly recommend if you need someone you can trust with the babies while away!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life—both my own and others'. My most recent dog, Dozer (a dopey 70 lb pit mix who looked like a cow), was with me for 9 amazing years. I’ve regularly walked and pet-sat for friends, coworkers, and even former customers from my barista days. I’ve lived with both large and small breeds and feel confident handling a range of personalities and energy levels—from mellow seniors to spirited puppies. I genuinely love spending time with dogs! I'm calm, patient, and attentive to each dog's unique needs—whether administering meds, sticking to a specific feeding routine, or offering extra playtime and affection. I also love being outdoors, so if your dog enjoys adventures, they’re in good hands! Don't worry, they'll get a tick check before I drop them off! I work full-time but offer evening walks during the week and full availability on weekends. I'm also available for house sitting any night of the week, and always make sure your dog feels safe, seen, and cared for in your absence. I work full-time on weekdays, so I’m available for dog walking or playtime after 5 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I have full availability and love spending the day outside with pups—whether it’s long walks, hikes, or just hanging out and relaxing. I’m also available for house sitting any night of the week. I’m committed to fitting pet care seamlessly into my routine so your dog gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you’re away or busy. When caring for pets, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure the environment is secure—checking gates, doors, and any escape routes—so your dog stays safe. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care needs. During walks and adventures, I keep your dog on a leash unless you’ve specified otherwise, and I’m vigilant about avoiding hazards like busy roads, toxic plants, or wildlife. I treat every dog with patience, respect, and kindness, making sure they feel calm and loved whether we’re at home or out exploring. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“Sonia was wonderful watching our dog for the day while we were on a tour of Acadia National Park. She was friendly and took our dog on a walk to the park.”

Carolyn Y.

“Nicole was punctual and dependable for the meet/greet. She is an excellent communicator and responded to messages before and during the service dates in a timely manner. The house was left clean and tidy; linens and towels were washed which was an unexpected gift! She and Stanley got along well and he appreciated the daily walks! We did, too, as well as the photos that Nicole sent. We were very pleased with her stay as Stanley’s sitter and highly recommend her!”

James C.

“This was our first time using Rover and we’re a bit hesitant to give it a try. We found Kelsey who had great reviews and upon meeting her in person, felt comfortable to move forward with booking her for a 5 night stay in our home watching our golden retriever. Kelsey was fantastic! She did an amazing job keeping an eye on our home but must importantly, taking care of our dog. She provided daily updates and her communication was always prompt. Highly recommend Kelsey and we will definitely be using her again!”

About: My husband and I have always had dogs and cats. We recently said good bye to our 2 16 year old mini-doxies. We miss the pitter patter of their paws and are looking to fill that gap. Although we are not ready to be full time pet parents right now, we would love to take care of your pups. As we had a paralyzed doxie and one with diabetes, we are adept at administering medication and expressing male bladders. Are you in the area on vacation and need someone to watch your pup while you go on an adventure, we can help. Just send a message. Pick up/drop off may be available. I work out of the home 2-3 days a week and volunteer drive for a local organization. Your pup would not be left for more than 4 hours without me or my husband checking in. At Our Home: We have a small fenced in yard. No pet is left unattended when outside. Walks and hikes with your pup are always an option, either in the neighborhood or if they like to ride in the car, there are many trails nearby. At Your Home: I will follow whatever instruction you give me. My preference is to watch your pup in your home as they will be most comfortable there, but they are welcome in my home as well.

“Della was amazing! She took excellent care of our dog and chickens while we were away. It’s obvious that she truly cares about animals and was very considerate of our home space in and outdoors. Great communication and beautiful picture updates made us feel comfortable being away from our pets. 10/10 recommend Della!”

Sharon U.

“We got lucky to find Caitlin available as I scrambled to find last minute care for our 11 week old puppies. She sat them two days in a row for a total of 14 hours in our home. We recommend her to everyone. Great personality, excellent communication, and she can give you home styling on the side! Yay.”

About: I have 4 years of pet care experience professionally as well as lots of informal experience. I’m comfortable walking and sitting all kinds of dogs- different sizes, personality, and needs! I love animals and I love getting to know new dogs. I have experience with giving oral meds, working with reactive dogs, and not afraid to clean messes! I currently work Thursday-Saturday, but am available the other days of the week. I can work morning and evenings and I am flexible with scheduling I always ensure I have a secure grip on leashes so that they won’t slip out of my hand if a dog lunges or starts to run. I stay aware of my surroundings and monitor what’s on the ground and whether there are other dogs around. I am also happy to communicate with owners as much as they would like and give updates on their animals!

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I grew up with several different animals and have always loved being around them and taking care of them! At a very young age I really wanted to work with animals and that same passion of working with them is still the same today! As of right now, my schedule varies! I could be working any shift from 6:30-2:30, 7:30-4:30, 9:15-5:15, or 12:15-5:15. I am a new mom who is trying to make ends meet but working still isn’t helping because daycare is so expensive! I am really trying to pet sit part time or even full time! My weekends and holidays are always open except for the occasional family trips in the summer! I do not have a fenced in yard at my home so that means that your fur babies will be kept on a leash when taking them outside. Your fur babies will also be kept company by 2 friendly dogs and 2 friendly cats! I also have to crate one of my dogs so I can easily crate dogs if needed!

“Tiana was such a pleasure to work with. She stayed in house with three dogs who all seemed to attach to her seamlessly. The house was spotless when I came home. My first experience with Rover was exemplary.”

“Harmony was great! Our dogs had such a good time with her they weren't all that excited to see us when we returned. We have a tracker for one of our dogs so we know they were walked a couple of times a day. Harmony brought her own dog, and he got along great with my "girls." We will definitely ask her to sit again.”
