House Sitting in Pike Creek

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.

“Jenni was great, my dog seemed very relaxed and liked her immediately. Jenni gave him a lot of exercise. Will definitely book with Jenni again.”

“Shanisa was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute sitting request. We certainly didn’t make her job easy with big asks, but she was able to make us very happy pet parents! I highly recommend her.”

“Shannon is the absolute GREATEST! She’s professional, communicative and took amazing care of our animals. She’s not our first Rover but I'm hoping she’ll be our last! I am so relieved we found her and will always be our go to for when we need our pets looked after. 11/10. Thank you Shannon!”

“Abby is great! She’s very proactive in her communication and took great care of our dog.”

“This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of my family for a trip. I and my pups (especially Papas) were nervous. However, Rachel was super understanding and patient! She consistently communicated throughout the entire process. Eventually my pups were feeling more comfortable which was super helpful as I had multiple flights canceled due to a snow storm. Thankfully, Rachel was gracious enough to extend her stay! I felt such an ease of mind knowing that my animals were safe and sound with her especially during a snow storm. Would definitely recommend and utilize again!”

“Macey was MORE than we expected for our furbaby! Went the extra mile every day, sending frequent photo check ins and stayed in contact with us regularly. Our pup absolutely loved her, and we’ll be booking again soon! A+ 5 Star service is what you’ll get when you book with Macey! Can’t recommend her services and true professionalism enough! Thank you, Macey for putting our mind at ease knowing our furbaby was in the right hands!!”

“Michaela was fantastic! Sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay and we felt so reassured knowing she was taking such good care of our dogs. House was so clean and pups were happy!”

Lauren B.

“Our fur babies loved her! Julia stayed at our house for a week to watch our two dogs and cat. We did a meet and greet in our home about a month prior to our trip and immediately knew that she would be perfect. We also felt that we could trust her and liked that she was thorough and asked many questions. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit for us again and would highly recommend her to anyone in our area.”

About: I have lived with cats my entire life, all 34 years. As well as had a dog of my own for 7 years from the time he was 3 months old. Over a decade of experience taking care of and loving dogs of my friends, loved ones and acquaintances - Every dog deserves love and care. Currently, I am in and out of part time steel construction. I have about 90% 24-7 availability, minus school 2 nights a week, and a standing audio production job 1 night a week (usually every wednesday night). I live in a 2 cat 1 dog household, and they are completely integrated. The entire house is open to all 3 animals. Cats are indoor only, my dog has a 3/4 acre fenced in yard to play in.

“Rebecca was amazing! We really appreciate all her attention to our kitties. She sent pictures and communicated periodically with status of both of our cats. She did a great job! We strongly recommend her services!”

“Sarah was awesome! She watched my two dogs overnight due to a family wedding. Sarah sent lots of pictures and made sure they were well taken care of. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Campbell was great while taking care of our dog, Holly while we were away for 4 days at the beach. Holly was her normal happy self when we got back. She’s quite excitable and loves personal attention, so staying home with a sitter is best for her. Holly immediately loved Campbell as soon as they met. Campbell was great with communication, she arrived and left right on time, and she took Holly on walks around the neighborhood. We asked her to check the basement while we were gone in case of any water seepage from the heavy rain. It turned out our water heater had broken and had flooded our entire basement the night before. She contacted us right away, and we were able to come back for a few hours to take care of it as best we could. We went back to the beach and she continued her stay with Holly while a water damage remediation team came to do their work. Campbell was extremely understanding and flexible with the water disaster. We were so happy to have Campbell here for Holly and for our house! We would absolutely recommend Campbell to anyone else needing in-home care for their pet :-)”

About: I have helped care for my family’s dogs and cats since I was a little girl, and my love of animals has grown deeper into my adulthood. I have experience training puppies basic obedience commands, and I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I am excited for the opportunity to care for your family’s pets! I am a full-time special education teacher, so I am available and ready to play with and assist your pets in the evenings on weekdays and any time on weekends. You can count on me to create a caring, positive environment for your pet. I am comfortable and willing to provide your pet with food and water, exercise/walking, cuddles, playtime, and more! I am happy to fulfill all of your requests when it comes to caring for your pet.

About: I have been dog walker/sitter for years. I have experience from family/friends to corporate events and weddings. We recently had our puppy pass over the rainbow bridge, so I have been inactive for a bit. We currently have a dachshund, a sweet cuddle bug and playful companion. Sometimes my partner will come with me to visit the dogs too (if it’s ok with you of course!) We have a 2 year old dachshund who is treated as part of the family/ our child. I will take care of any animal this way. Send me a message to chat :) When caring for your pets, I will use a leash for bathroom breaks unless otherwise stated, and I am also comfortable using a crate if needed.

“Kelli was wonderful with Teddy and very personable. She kept us informed throughout, and was very kind and gracious. Would recommend her with enthusiasm.”

“Jolene was an excellent house and pet sitter while we were away for our medicated cat and dog. She made sure to provide daily updates on our pets and plenty of photos! We returned to very happy, healthy pets and a well kept home. We plan on requesting Jolene as a house and pet sitter again very soon!”

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs, and worked briefly in an animal shelter, caring for dogs from newborn puppies to seniors, responsible for their daily care and enrichment. My job ends at 3:30pm, allowing me flexibility in afternoons and evenings, while being totally free on weekends to tend to any dog or cat. As the seasons change, so do my hours, allowing me more availability for bookings. I have knowledge on animal enrichment and training, and know how to handle different pets with all different temperaments. I know how to crate dogs, walk them, and bond with all sorts of dogs and cats.
