House Sitting in Red Apple

“Jessie came to our house prior to leaving her with Roscoe. She was thorough meaning she asked questions. She had a notebook and took notes. I felt she was a very warm and genuine person. Roscoe took to her right away. When Jessie came to the house for the stay, Roscoe went right up to her in greeting. We left her with information about Roscoe as well as other important information and reviewed with Jessie. We left and within a couple of hours received pictures of Roscoe. We were gone for two days but received a few pictures and updates. What I really appreciated was that she was glad that we texted her to let her know that we made it home. We were running late and told her it was okay to leave but she wanted to make sure we got home. Last couple of things, our house was immaculate. We have house sitters before, but this was the first time I could say that. Also, Roscoe seemed very happy and didn't seem out of sorts. We will definitely use Jessie again.”

“We are very picky with our pet sitter since our pets need a little bit of more attention than usual. Charlene was fantastic. She sent regular updates and even picked up our cat’s meds at the vet. Our kids ( we call them kids) were happy and looking healthy when we got home. The house was clean and organized, which is great. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking a great sitter. We will definitely book her again.”

About: I have primarily cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from Yorkies and Boston Terriers to Huskies and Labradors, from puppies to senior dogs. I am very active myself and am happy to walk or run with your dogs as I know some breeds especially need daily activity. I work remotely, making me very available to tend to all of your pet’s daily needs and activities! My workday is quite flexible, allowing for time for runs, walks, potty breaks, or playing outside or inside. I am most comfortable caring for your pets within your home. I have a dog of my own but he will be able to stay home with family, allowing me to focus entirely on your pets!

“OMG I cannot say enough good things about Emma. My babies loved her instantly. She sent me many photos and texts and even asked if she could do more things to help me while I was gone. We will be calling Emma back for every vacation. Oh one of my babies also got a foxtail stuck ( we have many on our property still! and she noticed right away and took her to the vet for me.”

“Kortney has taken care of our dog Lester several times now, both short stays and multiple week stays. Lester is a high maintenance senior dog so not always easy but Kortney has taken great care of him.”

About: Hi there! I’m Aaralyn and have always been a lifelong animal lover. I would be more than happy to provide the help you need caring for your animals— whether it is just a few hours during the day or for a week! I am here to ensure your animals will be given the best care. To do this I will give your pets daily walks, enrichment activities and promise to treat your animals as if they are my own. I also love keeping you updated with photos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're gone! To let you know a little about me, I am currently a UC Davis student and am looking to spend my time over the summer with some sweet animals! I have plenty of experience with many different animal such dogs, cats, and more. I know how to care for a range of pets as I have cared for senior animals and special needs animals before. I myself have a pup who needs medication every morning and night which come with side effects such as increase in thirst, hunger, and hyperactivity. So, I am well immersed with dogs that may require a little more maintenance. For house sitting, I’d love to meet your animals beforehand so they know who I am first and feel more comfortable when stay in their home for a prolonged period of time. What works best for me is a small yet informational note outlining your pets daily routine— things like when they eat breakfast/lunch/dinner, how much they eat, how often you would like them to be walked, where they go or what they do while I am out of the house, and anything else you feel is necessary. This lets me get an idea of what the animals needs/wants while I am there. This allows me to maintain a comfortable environment for them in hope to reduce any possible stress. For drop in visits: Usually I stay for about an hour and half per drop in visit but if more time is needed or requested that is not a problem! During that time, I will go on walks, engage in different activities with them, and check on food/water too. Also, while I am there if there is any other house maintenance that needs to be done such as skimming the pool or checking the mail let me know! I am happy to however I can. Overall, I hope to hear from you and meet all your pets soon! This summer, I do plan on working, likely part-time, so I will have lots of time to spend time with your animals and taking them on walks or other ways to exert energy! To keep the animals as comfortable as possible with a new person in their home I try to stick to a similar routine that they are used to.

“Rebekah was very professional. This was my first experience leaving my dogs with someone other than a good friend and I was nervous but Rebekah was great about keeping me updated and I know for a fact that my dogs had a great time. Rebekah was very doting and attentive with my dogs!”

“Charlie was an excellent dog sitter. He arrived on time, took great care of our animals and left the house just tge way he found it. We will definitely hire him again the next time we need a pet/house sitter.”

About: I am a born and raised farm girl. I have taken care of all kinds of animals especially dogs and cats. I love to take them on walks around the neighborhood. I have a lot of experience in general care and would love to meet and care for your fur babies. I am currently a part-time student and work mainly online so I will have plenty of time to be with your pets and spend quality time playing/exercising. I have friendly fur babies here at home that would love to play with yours. I do happen to have one dog who isn't as friendly but he is always crated when other dogs are around so there is no worries in your pets getting hurt here. I assure you that they will get the best care and love here.

About: Hi!! I am Maria, 21 years young. I have experience with puppy/kitten training, senior pet care, and giving medications. I’m attentive, trustworthy, and passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for pets! I am currently on summer break from university so I decided to spend this free time with animals since I adore them. I will sadly only be doing this for the month of July and the first week of August. I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, whether being my brothers dogs or dog/cat sitting for friends. I currently have 3, 8 week old kittens, 2 males and 1 female, which I love!! I will follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, play, and medications as needed. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment in your home. I will make sure to keep your home tidy and your fur baby happy!

About: I grew up with all sorts of animals. I’ve been pet/house sitting since I was 18 (31 now). I provide a loving and caring environment for your fur babies! Lots of love and treats. Able to give medication to your babies or stay with strict diets. Whatever your pet needs I can do :) I just moved to the area and haven’t found a job yet so my availability is 24/7 :) available for last minute trips or ones planned months in advance I have a border collie about to be 8 years old. We currently live in a travel trailer but he gets multiple walks and play time through out the day. He gets two meals a day and a never empty water bowl and lots of treats! And he loves making new furry friends wherever he goes

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

“Shawna was a fantastic pet sitter. She is trustworthy, experienced, easy to communicate with, and I could tell she genuinely cared for our cats.”

About: I am now 73 and have had dogs all my life...even birds, cats, fish, turtles & more. I bred & raised several of the small breeds I had. Pomeranians I bred for the most part. Last 20 years I have fallen in love with toy poodles. I learned how to train dogs about 20 years ago. I have been doing it ever since. My two poodles I taught to do tricks. I have taken care of many owners pets in the past but that was before I ever heard of Rover. I am home a lot, and only gone on doctor appointment days. I am available most weekends and most holidays. I only leave for the big ones like Christmas and Thanksgiving. As a rule, I am pretty flexible. I live in a house with a fenced deck and fenced yard. There is stairs to my garden. Ask more, if this concerns you. My 2 friendly toy poodles get plenty of exercise running up and down the stairs to the deck and among my beautiful garden. There are several very close areas to walk dogs within 5 minutes driving of my house. Also, we have a dog park 10 min away. Here's a PLUS....I literally live 30 min from the northern gate entrance to Yosemite National Park, (our 3rd National Park). So, if you plan a trip to hit the snow, hike to its many waterfalls, bike or take a nice relaxing float down the lazy class 2 Merced River in Yosemite......contact ME. You can't take dogs on these ventures...

About: I have owned dogs, horses, chickens and pigs my entire life. Prior to having my twins, I worked at a vet office for three years as a receptionist and vet assistant. While working at the vet office, I pet sat for clients dogs and cats when they went out of town. I also worked at a pet boarding facility before the vet, but at both places I cared for all the animals as if they were my own. I am currently working part-time night shift, I am a mom to my twin daughters that are three years old and my son who is seven months old. My husband is a mobile mechanic and makes his own schedule so if there is a prior commitment that I have my husband can be around for the short time that I am out. I treat every animal and home I pet sit at as if they're my own! I love sharing pictures with the clients to ensure they can feel at ease that they’re pet is being well cared for.

“Tabi, Mia and Sadie let us know that Shuree took excellent care of our dogs for 7 days. She stayed with them and fed and medicated them. She took them for a walk and kept them safe. She was very responsive to my questions and sent cute photos of them. We will use her services again and can recommend her to others.”

“Elisabeth was so great with our puppy! She kept him safe, played with him, and worked on leash training. We are so happy to have her nearby for the next time we have to go out of town.”

“Autumn did a great job. Nicky, Misty and Cooper were plenty happy and relaxed when we got home. The house was in the shape that we left it, and hopefully Autumn enjoyed her time at the house with our babies. We would definitely ask her back.”
