House Sitting in Rough and Ready

“Nancy was absolutely amazing with our senior dog. Shorty has some special needs and needs to be carried outside to go potty each time he gets up. She was wonderful and took excellent care of our very old puppy! I highly recommend Nancy to anyone who needs a trustworthy home/pet sitter!”

“Allie has been our primary pet care for the last couple years. I formerly was a RoVER pet sitter and can say with experience, Allie is awesome for RoVer! She stays at our house and gives love to our 5 dogs. In addition to our dogs we have 2 goats and she has experience with goats as well. Allie is kind and caring, responsible and a good communicator. She is very respectful and we trust her. All of the above qualities about Allie are the reason why I also asked her if she’d be interested in caring for our infant daughter. Allie is regularly in our home for dog sitting and child care and I can’t say enough good things about her. I love that she grew up on a farm and is very familiar with pets and enjoys them as family like we do. She even helped assess an illness in our goat while we were away that could have turned out terribly if she were not present and mindful of the goats physical health, all by her observation. Allie is a wonderful dog sitter, in addition to being a caring young lady.”

“Mel was excellent with Rheia, our 4 year-old chow mix, from the first time they met and was consistently responsive, thoughtful, and thorough in caring for her and our home while we were away for a week. We came home to the happiest dog and the cleanest, most well cared-for home that we could have possibly expected. We’ll definitely work with Mel again both for house/pet-sitting and boarding. She even was flexible with extending our trip unexpectedly. Rheia often can be challenging when meeting new people, but she had absolutely no issues with Mel who was very adept at behavioral techniques to quickly befriend dogs that tend toward guarding. We feel secure and able to travel with peace of mind knowing we can rely on Mel to care for our furriest family member.”

“Mariza is amazing. She was so caring and sweet to my dog. We had great communication. She always let me know what was going on at my house. She was clean and left my house perfectly. She went above and beyond. I look forward to having her back to care for my dog. And so does my doggie.”

“This gentleman has a connection with animals as I have never witnessed with another person. I have multiple animals that get anxiety when new visitors come around. One, named Lilly, can get snappy. With David, this was a non-issue. His patience and calm demeanor had Lilly rolling over (to pet her tummy) and she just let him come right up to her. David treated all of my dogs like they were part of his family. Even crazier than that I think the dogs believed that he was part of theirs too!”

“While in San Diego for a quick little trip to see a concert I had Deborah come stay with my two dogs for the evening. She was very easy to communicate with, friendly and most importantly my dogs loved her! She sent pictures while we were out so I knew the dogs were calm and happy which really put my mind at ease. She is a lovely person and comes highly recommended! I only wish that I lived in San Diego so I could use her more often! Thank you Deborah!”

“Amy was absolutely wonderful! We are happy to have found someone who we can trust with our pups. We will be using her services again! Thank you, Amy!”

“Very kind, gentle, loving sitter! She always sent us pictures and updates and we felt very at ease with Ashley caring for our 3 large dogs. So glad there shenanigans didn't bother her or she was too nice to say anything. Highly recommend !”

“Berlin is the ABSOLUTE best with animals! I always get nervous leaving my cat with anyone when I’m gone- but Berlin is SO responsible and so sweet, my cat has absolutely fallen in love with them! I trust Berlin entirely with my kitty, and I’ve left her in Berlin’s care more times than I can count- sometimes for weeks at a time when I have to travel! I’d recommend Berlin so highly to anyone nervous about leaving their lil fur baby in someone else’s care- truly you won’t find anyone better for the job! Thank you Berlin!!!”

“Malique provided great communication while spending time with Roscoe. She is very nice, willing to go above and beyond, and I’ll reach out to her again in the future!”

“Shea was great with Sophie. She was reliable and communicated well with us while we were gone. We felt a lot of piece of mind knowing our pup was well taken care of.”

About: I’ve been a nanny and babysitter for families including their pets for 15 years. I have my own dog that I trained and raised since puppy. I just graduated college with an Environmental Science degree and currently have an open schedule for the summer. I would love to be of help! I will be happy to take care of your pet at your own home, follow any special instructions and give them as much love as if they were mine.

“Gia was a wonderful sitter! She house sat for us for two weeks over the holidays and we’re so glad we found her! She was so attentive to our pup and sent us daily pics and videos to keep us toasted. Our pup got tons of attention, walks, and even a few puppaccinos, and our house was well taken care of and in perfect shape when we got home. We’ll definitely use Gia again, she’s reliable and caring and an all around great sitter.”

“Sarah was wonderful! She asked excellent questions, ensuring that the dogs were well taken care of. She sent photos/text updates throughout the weekend that we really appreciated, and loved on our pups just as much as we would have had we been home. On top of all that, she left the house spotless! We highly recommend her!”

“I almost don’t want to review to give away what a great pet/house sitter she is! Aspen makes you feel like you never left providing updates on the animals with photos and text. She’s super thorough and always responds timely. Our looked great when we arrived late and she even confirmed we we were home knowing we had a late flight. Super grateful for her care and attention!”

“Jessica was AWESOME! Typically, our pets are crying at the door when we come home because they missed us so much. But after Jessica watched them for a week, they seemed like they barely knew we were gone! She left the house in immaculate shape, the dog and cat were happy and healthy, and she was incredibly communicative throughout watching them. Will definitely ask her to watch them again- thanks Jessica!!”

“We were fortunate enough to have Daniel care for our farm and animals. He pays attention to detail and is a wealth of knowledge. He's a great communicator and is excellent as following through. He even relocated a rattlesnake for us and taught us how to do it! He has a very kind heart!”

“Nyx, our exuberant black lab, had a great time with Jessica. She was able to run in the open space at her house and had walks. Our cat was snuggly upon our return, and was also well taken care of while we were gone. We will have her take care of our pets again.”

“Micaela is responsible, professional, friendly, and loves animals. She arrives on time, and is an excellent person to take care of your pet. We have worked with her since 2012, and hired her to stay house sit with our two dogs (and a rescued Great Dane) at our home when we travel. We also have a horse, which she has helped to groom, feed, and blanket when we're away.”

“Danielle took amazing care of our dog and two cats! We received daily updates, and I appreciated that she checked in when our dog’s behavior changed (it was just our dog being her weirdo self). When we got home, it was obvious our pets were happy and well cared for, and our house was possibly cleaner than we had left it! We will def hire Danielle again!”
