House Sitting Peter Paul

“Kacey was a fantastic house sitter for our pup, Gypsy and car, Polly. The animals were well cared for, we got tons of photo and the house was left neat and tidy just like we left it. Gypsy and Polly hope to see Kacey again in the future!”

“Emily did such a wonderful job taking care of my girl. She sent regular, helpful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. I came home to a very happy dog, and she was also incredibly respectful of my house. I would definitely have her back.”

Ada H.

“Allison is a terrific person to take care of a house and pets. Good communication, willing to bend as needed. She pet-sat during the single month when my long-haired dog sheds constantly. We have to be vigilant with cleaning the house to keep up with it. She left the house super clean. I felt like a real adult was taking my place. She's not the type who will accept a job, then change her mind and leave you stranded. She's responsible, a person who could manage any situation as well as could be expected, and is up for what comes her way. Allison kept up with our flight arrivals and offered to stay an extra night if we experienced cancelations. She visited first and I showed her the routine which is just so helpful. All good!”

Beth M.

“Sara was a lovely sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos. We felt so comfortable with her watching our pup in our home while we were gone and we could truly trust our dog was in good hands. We came home to a spotless house! She’s going to be our new go-to. Thank you so much Sara!”

Angela H.

“Collete was great with our three clingy dogs, was regularly in contact, and left our home in great shape. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

Sam L.

“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”

About: I have personal experience taking care of (walking, bathing, feeding, enrichment, training) all animals and love to do it. Professionally, I’ve worked at doggy daycares, other dog-walking and pet-sitting apps, and volunteered to assist with puppy births. My experience is mostly with dogs; however, I have taken care of cats and more! I work a full-time job, but my hours are flexible which means I have days I am in-office or at home and I do not work weekends. It is very easy for me to leave work to provide pet care and return later that day or make-up hours later in the week. I am very gentle with animals and the safety of pets and those around them comes first - always. I plan to keep the pet comfortable and enriched. It is very easy to follow a schedule and routine for medications, bathroom breaks, bedtimes, and playtime. I pay close attention to details and take the time to learn pet behaviors to ensure they get the best care.

“Rosemary is the best! She provided our animals a wonderful care experience and was very thoughtful in watching our house while we were away. Rosemary is also very communicative, letting us know how our animals were while we were away.”

STEPHEN M.

“Kate was very easy to communicate with and set everything up. She gave us updates and lots pictures and videos while we were away. We really feel like she took care of our pup and house while we were gone.”

Emily & Paul W.

“Jonathan was great! He was attentive and thorough, and we came home to a happy and healthy dog. I wouldn't hesitate to book him again.”

Mikaela P.

“Madelaine was great to work with. She was responsive to my messages and to the needs of our dogs, one of whom is a senior. They enjoyed her company and I had peace of mind on my trip!”

Alexandra C.

“He did a great job with our pets while staying with them! It was nice to know that the animals had someone reliable and attentive looking after them while we were away, and that they could stay where they were comfiest, at home! He handled all of our (and our pets) needs wonderfully and we would gladly have him sit for us again.”

Astrid O.

“Maggie did a great job watching our dog Audubon for the weekend. In addition to being very sweet and playing with Aud, she was proactively, timely, and followed Aud’s schedule to a tee. We got lots of updates and photos from Maggie and she left our house just as she found it! Would absolutely book again.”

Katie Q.

“Eddie was fabulous. We were gone for a week and when we returned the house was in perfect shape and the dogs were happy. He sent lots of welcome communication, cared for one of our dogs with an injury, and even watered the outside plants when they looked dry! He's among the best dog sitters we've had and we hope to rebook.”

About: I grew up with dogs as a part of my household and adopted my own dog when I was 20 years old. Since then I have supported friends and family with caring for their pets and would love to support you as well! I currently have availability to care for pets Sunday through Saturday! I can drop in for walks and check ins in the early mornings and late afternoons/evenings during the week. Saturdays and Sundays I have open availability all day! I am flexible with however you would like your pet to be cared for in your environment. I have experience with walks and letting pets out in a fenced yard.

“As always Daniel was wonderful! Very responsive, respectful of our home, and its clear both of our cats are comfortable with him. Definitely one of our preferred sitters.”

About: Aloha! I’m Will 👋. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking on and off for the past 5 years, caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Animals are truly my passion, and my main goal is to make sure your paw prince or princess is safe, pampered, and fully cared for whenever you have to step away. Because I focus entirely on on-foot neighborhood walks, personalized house sitting, and drop-in visits, your pet gets 100% of my dedicated time and attention right in the comfort of their own familiar environment. I love keeping pups active with engaging outdoor strolls, and I am equally happy giving plenty of belly rubs and playtime to more relaxed seniors or playful kittens. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I always prioritize open communication. You can expect regular photo and text updates from me during every single visit if that’s what you prefer, so you never have to guess how they are doing. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I am currently pet sitting full-time. My other part-time job is relatively flexible and is only Sunday-Thursday, from 3:30-8:00pm. Otherwise, I have complete control over my calendar. I explicitly designed this schedule to not be away from your fur baby for too long. Whether your pup needs a mid-day energy-busting walk, a morning drop-in, or dedicated overnight company, my schedule is mostly open to fit seamlessly into whatever routine your pet needs to stay happy and comfortable. In My Home & Around the Yard: Since I have a moderately sized, fenced-in yard and my own Bernese Mountain Dog, safety at home is mostly about supervising the fun. I never just let the dogs out back and walk away; I’m always out there watching them play to make sure everyone is sharing toys and getting along safely. Before a new pup ever visits, we’ll do a casual Meet & Greet to make sure our dogs vibe well together. Indoors, I keep my home calm and secure, making sure doors are always locked and any human food or hazards are kept way out of reach. In Your Home & On Walks: If I’m coming to your place, I treat it exactly like I’d want someone to treat mine. I stick strictly to the routine you give me for feeding and care. When we head out for neighborhood walks, I always double-check harnesses and collars before opening the front door to make sure nothing can slip loose. I keep a short, secure grip on the leash and stay entirely focused on the dog—keeping an eye out for hot pavement, heavy traffic, or stray dogs so our walks stay completely stress-free.

“Kaleb took great care of both my pups and left my apparent in great condition for when I arrived home from my trip! He stayed a week in my apartment with my dogs and sent daily updates with clear communication. Both dogs seemed to enjoy his company and were kept busy with 3 walks a day. Kaleb was kind and easy to work with, will use his services again!”

“Sydney was great! She took great care of Dakota and the house. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be reaching out in the future.”

About: I have been working with animals for ten years now! I owned a dog care and behavior management business in Richmond before taking a break to continue my education and now hold a BS in animal behavior and cognition. I have worked with dogs of all shapes, ages, sizes, breeds, and backgrounds…name it and I’ve probably done it or at least have a related funny story! I specialize in adult and senior dogs who exhibit behaviors such as reactivity, fear, aggression, and anxiety and dogs who have specialized health conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, gastrointestinal issues, joint pain, and cognitive decline. Given my background and specialty, I’m a huge advocate for consensual interactions and give the dogs in my care as much choice and autonomy as possible. I’m also a big fan of enrichment activities that encourage species typical behaviors and tailoring care to each individual dog’s unique needs. Dogs will always be my first love and I can’t wait to meet yours! I owned a business working with dogs full time and hope to continue that journey through Rover! I am available for 30 minute visits and hour long visits Monday-Friday from 9-6 and am available for overnight care + housesitting Monday-Sunday. As of right now, I am only available to care for animals at the clients home. I have found through experience that animals typically do better when in their own homes surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and smells. This also allows me to follow the dog’s exact schedule and routine which aids in reducing any anxiety the dog might experience. I like to tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. Some dogs love to power walk for an hour straight, others prefer to cuddle on the couch with a five minute potty break, and some prefer interactive playtime with lots of verbal praise! Each dog is unique and deserves an individual experience based on their needs and the clients needs.
