House Sitting Rough and Ready

“Amanda was awesome, she took such good care of my two large dogs. She is so reliable and sent me pictures of the dogs. I was so happy with her and was at ease while i was away.”

About: I had only dogs for many many years and absolutely love dogs! I then moved abroad for the past 12 years and due to living in a building which allowed no dogs I decided instead to invest in a kitten.. Here we are, years later and I've become rather cat crazy! We have 4, 3 of which we brought with us all the way from the UK to love with us here in Danville. I love how each cat carries their own personality, likes, dislikes and quirks and I have learned to be patient a great deal thanks to these little flurries of fur. I also once owned rabbits, chickens, peacocks, fish, a squirrel named "Giblet" and spent time around cows and pigs as well. Animals give us warmth and love, be it a cozy chihuahua or a frowning lizard and I love them all! I am new here in town and wish to establish myself as a carer and guardian of your pets when you need a hand. I genuinely will love and cherish them in the short time I might spend with them.. Their safety, happiness and calmness are important to me and I will give all my devotion to them while in my care or in your home. I hope to be here for you anytime you need.! We have just moved here from the UK in mid 2024. Our 4 cats are the biggest part of our lives and as I work from home I am so attached to them! That freedom can also allow me to care for your pet as well and love them as if they were my own while you are away! For now I have decided to offer myself up to visit your home when you wish to feed, walk and play with your pets as well as those necessary litter box details if you have cats.. I am honest and dependable with a deep love for animals and for being kind and gentle. I won't just feed them and leave.. Whether you have dogs, cats or any other animal, I will spend some time with them, make sure they feel safe and warm and be your eyes and ears during your absence. I would be thrilled to send you photos or video or even a live face to face call with your pets. I am a southern boy raised by strong southern women and I absolutely will respect your home, property and pets. In the near future I will also offer a boarding option as well after I've settled in here in Danville. I am willing to travel a but out of the area if you need as well. Other services I will consider providing are house sitting your home with or without pets. I am flexible and truly well meaning and respectful and hope to become your "Go-To" Guy!

“Mark was available on short notice after our usual pet sitter had vehicle problems and was unavailable. He took great care of our pets and home while we were on vacation.”

“This is a five star human being!!! my travels required me to leave before Dani was to arrive. There was some minor chaos when she arrived being a new venue and canine companion. Because I was traveling by air, I did not get to speak to her until after the fact… when we finally connected, she explained in full detail everything that transpired and that it had been handled and her and Rocky were enjoying a TV program!!! Dani is an extremely responsible, capable friend, friendly assistant! Rocky has already put in a request for her return !!!! Our home was in better organization than when I left!! Extremely awesome experience!!!”

“Stefen was a great caretaker for both my puppy and senior dog He followed all directions. It was obvious that Stefen had experience with animals. My dogs really enjoyed their day with him!”

“Syd was absolutely wonderful. We’ve had some rocky experiences in the past with pet sitters but Syd put us right at ease. She was truly a magical human and our animals and home were well taken care of. Absolutely recommend for others and will definitely re-book in the future. Thank you Syd!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and sizes! Don’t worry too much about having everything prepared ahead of time! If you’re ever running late or your pet needs something specific, I’m more than happy to make a quick run to pick up their favorite snack, meal, or wet food. Just reimburse me if you’d like here and there, no worries at all! I’m always happy to help out and go the extra mile to make sure your pet has everything they need. ❤️ I’m patient, attentive, and will treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your fur baby feels happy, safe, and loved! Hi! I’m a caring, reliable, and flexible pet lover who would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies! 🐾❤️ My schedule is especially flexible in the evenings, and I’m available any weekday after 4:30 PM. Weekends are also open and very flexible for me, making it easy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I also have a twin sister who shares my love for animals and has a flexible schedule. As my Rover bookings grow, I may have the option to coordinate with her when needed, depending on what each client is comfortable with. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving, and consistent care for every pet! 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. There is always someone home, so your fur baby won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I live in a quiet, pet friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks and fresh air. I’m also very responsible about cleaning up after pets and keeping their environment clean and comfortable.

About: I've been caring for dogs on Rover since 2017, and after 9 years, I've had the privilege of caring for all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I absolutely adore animals, and when you leave your dog with me, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I keep owners updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout their pet's stay or visit. You'll be able to see how they're doing, what we're up to, and most importantly, that they're happy and being well cared for. I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding, and daycare, depending on your dog's needs. For house sitting, I can keep your dog's normal routine as consistent as possible while you're away. For drop-ins, I can provide meals, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. And for walks, I'm happy to give your dog the exercise and enrichment they need. I also enjoy exercising myself, so energetic dogs are welcome to get some extra activity. There's a peaceful bike trail near my home that's a great place for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with the dogs I care for. I'm flexible with my schedule and can accommodate longer stays when needed. I'm also happy to work with dogs who have specific routines, medications, senior-care needs, or other special requirements. Most importantly, I want your dog to have a positive experience while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, relaxing together, or simply keeping each other company, I want them to feel like they're spending time with someone they can trust. 9 years on Rover • 100+ five-star reviews • Frequent photo/video updates • Personalized care Thank you for considering me to care for your best friend! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate different routines, including longer stays and last-minute requests when my availability allows. A few important updates about my availability: At this time, I can accommodate a maximum of 3 dogs from the same household for boarding/daycare. I am not currently able to combine dogs from multiple households. I am also balancing my schedule with college, so I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. For boarding/daycare, I require a confirmed booking before arranging a Meet & Greet. This allows me to keep my home and schedule organized while protecting everyone's privacy. Please note that I do not have a car, so I am unable to provide pickup or drop-off services. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Your dog's safety comes first. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and stretch their legs without leaving the property. I also supervise dogs while they are outside rather than simply letting them out unattended. For boarding and daycare, I require dogs to be comfortable with crate use. Crates provide a safe place for dogs when I need to shower, sleep, run an errand, or otherwise cannot directly supervise them. I view the crate as a safety tool and want every dog to have a secure, comfortable space of their own. I'll also follow the routines and safety instructions you provide so I can care for your dog in a way that is familiar to them.

About: Dogs are my absolute passion. I grew up in New York and later moved to Puerto Rico, where I actually ran my own neighborhood animal rescue from ages 8 to 11. Since moving to North Carolina and South Carolina, I have continued working with non-profits and animal rescues. I have hands-on experience with dogs of every size, from tiny puppies to gentle giants, and I want to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to put your pet first. I am home throughout the day to provide frequent potty breaks, fresh water, and plenty of attention. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I am always available for structured playtime, and I customize my daily routine to match whatever schedule your pup is used to at home. We live in a clean, smoke-free apartment with my sweet, small Shih Tzu who loves making new friends! Because my young brother lives with us, safety is our top priority. My mom and I work as a team to closely supervise all pet interactions at all times. Your pet is welcome on our furniture and bed, and we take regular leashed walks around the neighborhood for plenty of exercise.

About: I have 4 cats at home! I love cats, I take care of them all the time. I had dogs while growing up, so I also have dog expeirence! I help neighbors out with their dogs as well, experience I had bunnies. So I can take care of all sorts of animals! I am completing my Masters Degree and Dietetic Internship right now. My schedule is a little flexible so best to just shoot me a message to let me know what you need! I will watch your pets at home, I will keep an eye on them and walk them on a leash if need or keep them in the fenced area. If its a cat, I will gladly feed it, ill play with it, and make sure it doesn’t get outside if its an indoor one! My schedule is flexible, best to shoot me a message to discuss details and we will figure out what is needed and best for you. Thanks! I make sure that the animals are always taken care of, they are fed, walked daily, played with and give lots of love and attention to them! I will make sure that they are on a leash when outside, if there is no fence. If there is a fence, I will make sure they are kept inside the fence!
