House Sitting Putney

“Ben took great care of our sweet but shy Niela-Phyu, a 75lbs female Great Pyrenees for 10 days at our house. We came back to a happy, obviously often brushed dog in a clean house (which is a challenge with a shedding dog in summer and well watered garden). Notes on walks, events (tick removal ;) - thx) etc on top of many updates awaited us on return. Can only highly recommend Ben and thank you again for an amazing job.”

“Amadie was amazing! She cared for two of our dogs on a very hot day for three hours. She was prompt, thoughtful, sent great photos, and communicated very clearly. The pups were happy and tired after the time together. Who can ask for more than that? We will definitely book her again!”

“Elias did a wonderful job with Birdy. We are so happy to have found Elias. The house was neat as a pin. Birdy was well cared for. She had an immediate connection with Elias.”

“Brandy was fantastic! My dog is not easy due to anxiety and fear (she is a rescue). Elly didn't take that long to warm up and once she did they were able to stick to her regular schedule. Brandy was understanding and compassionate to where Elly was emotionally. She took her for great walks and played with her. Brandy sent pictures and lots of updates. Also Brandy was respectful of our house and left it as she found it. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely ask her back. Thank you!”

“Mackenzie was great! She was responsive to my request, informative and clearing caring. She was all I could wish for in a pet sitter! Highly recommend her!”

About: Huge dog lover...I’m definitely the type of person to pay more attention to the dog in the room than the humans haha :) I have very open availability and would love to help out by caring for your furry friend(s)! As a dog owner myself I understand the level of trust that comes with leaving your pets with others. I’m quite active and can assure that they will receive chances to exercise if needed, in addition of course to love & affection. As a house-sitter, I am also happy to help out with housekeeping and yard work. I am also very experienced with dogs who have experienced trauma and have issues such as anxiety. If you are having difficulties around these issues I may be able to provide a little insight, if anything try to help. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Hope to hear from you soon :)

“Tessa is amazing!! She's very communicative and was punctual. My Fozzie took to her right away and I didn't need to worry he was alone. Thank you SO much!! We'll see you soon!”

“Lori’s service, taking care of my elderly cat, was remarkable. It became clear quite quickly that she was thinking of my cat’s welfare first and foremost. I’m inexperienced with having cat sitters staying the night in a house sitting capacity. Lori handled my cat’s needs as well as my general requests expertly - and I felt reassured. She exceeded my expectations, showing consideration by offering to do a task or two I hadn’t requested. All in all, she was lovely to work with. With Lori caring for my cat, I feel confident taking longer trips, knowing my cat will be so well looked after!”

“Louisa was absolutely fantastic. She sent daily pictures of our cat, fed him at his scheduled feeding times, and even replaced one of our flimsy keys for us. We returned to a very happy kitty and a very clean home. Thanks Louisa! We will definitely try to book you during our extended trips out of town.”

About: My entire life has revolved around my animals, and I believe my mission in life is to show all creatures big and small love, compassion, and the utmost of care! I am currently between jobs so I have a open schedule and I am very flexible. I live in High Springs and I am willing to commute up to an hour away! The pets I care for always will get plenty of play time during visits. All pets will be thoroughly watched over and made sure are safe and happy! I am also happy staying a bit longer free of charge just to hangout and play with furry friends a little longer :)

“Kaeleen took excellent care of our cat while we were away! She was very communicative and trustworthy and our kitty seemed very happy when we got home.”

About: We are a young, active couple that recently lost our dog after over ten years together. We have experience with puppies and seniors. While we aren't professional trainers, we have plenty of experience training our own dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on us to pet-sit, walk, and train their animals. I grew up with a dog and my wife grew up with dogs and sheep. We currently have a small flock of hens as well. Our home is pet friendly, but we do not allow animals on the furniture. We don't have a fenced yard, but we live on over 30 acres, on a dirt road with minimal traffic, and in close proximity to miles of hiking trails. I work a 9a-5p job Monday - Friday, but only about 2 miles from home so I can easily run home during the day. My wife is self-employed and is more flexible with her schedule and works out of the house. Our home is pet friendly but we don't allow animals on the furniture. We have multiple large, comfortable dog beds, pillows, toys, water and food dishes, etc. We are loving and attentive. We enjoy being outdoors as much as possible, so walks, hikes, fetch, etc. is no issue. We miss having our own pup but aren't ready to adopt again, so we would love to spend some time with your animals!

“Cyan was wonderfully communicative during our house sitting booking, and shared lots of pictures of our older dog during the visit. We would definitely recommend them for any pet and house sitting opportunities. Thank you!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 35 years, and I just love it! I have to travel for work which means I can’t have my own right now, so looking after others is a true joy. I naturally treat every animal as if they were my own — and making sure they feel secure, loved, and happy while their parents are away. With every sit, I bring both reliability and heart. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and more — each with their own unique personalities and quirks. I’ve played with energetic puppies who needed training and adventure, given gentle support and patience to sweet seniors, reassured nervous or shy animals with steady routines & space, and comforted sick or elderly pets in their final days. One of the most important lesson I learnt came from my own senior dog, who had arthritis. Beyond medication, what mattered most were the little things. I could see from her body language that her favorite time of day was simply sitting together in the sun while I gently massaged her and talked to her. Those quiet moments made her feel safe and deeply loved — and they taught me how much presence and empathy matter in pet care. I work remotely with flexible hours, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pets — for walks, play, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship so they don’t feel alone. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been sitting through other platforms where I’ve built excellent reviews and references. Having hosted sitters myself, I also understand the trust (and nerves!) that come with leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. That’s why I believe clear communication is key, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos, feedback, and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. My work is remote so I can be anywhere as long as I have wifi. I only work part-time with flexible hours which gives me the space to adapt to your pets needs & also have the time to for plenty of walks, cuddles & play. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure their routines stay consistent so they feel secure — from feeding and walks to playtime and rest. I pay close attention to each animal’s signals, balancing structure with the affection, stimulation, or quiet companionship they need. Safety is always a priority. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure food and medications are given correctly, and keep doors, windows, and gates secure. I maintain a calm, clean environment so pets feel relaxed, and I treat every home with the same respect as my own. I’m a naturally tidy person who cleans as I go, so you’ll return to a home that feels just as you left it. Having hosted sitters myself, I fully understand the trust (and nerves!) that come with leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. That’s why I believe strong communication is key. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and even video calls as often as you’d like — so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, administrating medicine, and care for their pets when away on vacation or at work. skills include: animal care, animal handling. Working part-time on the weekends for a dog training place and free during the week expect Wednesday's I take care of my aunts dog and Thursday's 8am-12pm I volunteer at the Bristol animal shelter. I have a big fenced in yard with a big and tall white fence so your dog will be safe and not escape.

“As always our dogs are so happy and love when Amad stays with them, they start wagging their tails when the suitcases come out. Amad is very attentive and walks them frequently throughout the day. He is very easy going and does a great job.”

“Lizzie was great with the dogs and everyone was happy on our return. Lizzie was on time and dependable. Everyone was loved as one of her own. I would definitely recommend.”

About: Ive been taking care of pets since high-school, from great danes to kitties! Including but not limited to great-danes, pitbulls, hounds, labs and kitties! I am good with animals of all temperaments, from timid and not sure to excited to see anything! I love all animals and would love to help with all your pet and house needs. I am currently part time and can work around your schedule as well. I already get up to take care of my hound, pitbull and kitties. I would love to help you out as well! I love animals and have experience with the animals that also make a mess. I change litter boxes and I can even clean up after the ones who can't always hold it. I feed, and give fresh water. I walk dogs and also have experience with pulling. I can also just let them out if trained to do so and hangout with them as needed!

About: I have worked as a recurring dog sitter for several families over the past five years, each with a different breed of dog (Weimaraner, Schnauzer, Dachshund). This has equipped me with the specific tools and knowledge to provide exceptional care grounded in experience. Additionally, working with a wide range of breeds has afforded me the opportunity to familiarize myself with the varying behaviors and needs of different dogs. I deferred law school for one year to work on my creative writing. As a result, my schedule is very flexible and conducive to working around your family's unique pet care needs. I take pet health and safety vary seriously, practicing the same standards I use personally to keep my own pets safe. For me, this means maintaining a clean and tidy environment free from any potential hazards (e.g., not leaving chocolate at a level a dog could reasonably reach; making sure gates and doors are closed). In addition to maintaining a safe environment, I try to be emotionally tuned in to the animal I am watching. For instance, when the Weimaraner I watch gets anxious due to people walking past the house, I talk to her in a soft voice and pet her until she calms down. If I zip to the store, I will close the blinds so she is not in a position to be triggered by this stimulus.

“What a dear person. Nadine is a natural with knowledge and a love of animals. She showed great judgement, and was kind enough to let me know when our cat was in for the night. She was thoughtful, and clearly is great with animals. Our cat was thoroughly in love.”
