House Sitting Route 66 West

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. From dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish, and even ferrets, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my days with so many wonderful animals over the years. Each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and companionship, and I carry that experience with me into every pet I care for. Right now, I share my home with a lively crew—a sweet senior Husky hybrid who’s 15 years old, a playful 7-month-old Cattle Dog, two affectionate cats (one a sprightly senior of 14 years), and a handful of fish who bring calm and beauty to my space. Because of them, I have firsthand experience with pets at every stage of life. I understand the patience and special attention seniors need, as well as the energy and safe guidance puppies and kittens require as they grow. My passion for animals has inspired me to pursue a career as a Veterinary Technician, but no matter the path, one thing is certain: caring for animals will always be at the heart of what I do. I love spending time outdoors with pets, going on walks, playing their favorite games, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet snuggles and gentle care, I’ll treat them like one of my own. When your furry (or feathered, or finned!) family members are with me, you can feel confident that they’ll be cared for with warmth, patience, and lots of love. I’m available bright and early in the mornings all the way through the evening for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. My regular availability is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day of the week, weekends included. I understand that every pet and family has different routines, so I’m happy to be flexible and work around the times that suit you best. I’m also available most weekends for house sitting, giving you peace of mind that your pets (and home) are well cared for while you’re away. If there’s ever a time I won’t be available, I’ll always update my schedule in advance so you’ll never be left guessing. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I am able to travel throughout the county and city, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in a wide variety of environments, including apartments, houses, farm properties, sidewalks, parks, and outdoor settings. No matter the location, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I follow all owner instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, or special accommodations. Maintaining consistency is important, and I will make sure your pets’ routines are carried out to your exact standards. While house sitting, I provide ongoing attention and companionship throughout the day, and during walks or check-ins, your pets will always have my full, undivided focus. I ensure that pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and any other care items they may need. I am also fully comfortable working in all types of weather and terrain, so your pets’ care will never be disrupted by outside conditions.

“Ethanee did a great job watching our dog and cat for a week while on vacation!! I appreciated the daily updates and photos. It was nice coming home to happy, well-cared for pets.”

“Lauren has watched my dogs a few times now. They love to see her and I always know that they are well cared for with her. She is patient and careful and always ensures that I know how they are doing. I highly recommend Lauren for any pet care service.”

Kristian M.

“Took great care of our pups for a long weekend. Took everything we said and went above and beyond giving them much love. Checked in regularly with us and sent photos even. Highly recommend using Alejandra for any of your pet needs!”

“My daughter and i went on a toadtrip to CA to visit potential colleges for about 10 days. I contacted a lot of people on Rover somewhat last minute. Faris was the first to respond! And I am so happy and appreciative that I chose him! He is the absolute best! He's so kind and friendly and professional and funny and totally loves my 2 husky brothers. He's making home-made dog food due to my pups sensitive digestion. He walks them daily if not twice a day when its not too hot. He's house sitting as well and stays with my guys most of the time. He's very aware of protecting them from the heat. He's a great communicator. He listened to me about the dog training Ive dome so he could keep it up while Im away. He sends messages daily with walking pics and others. He often tells me how much he loves my Huskies! I am overjoyed that I found him!! I know without a doubt that my Pups are having the time of their lives! Thank you Faris!!!”

“Jessica was amazing! She communicated very well and was very flexible/accommodating. My dogs can sometimes be iffy with people, but they adjusted to her really well! She left the house very clean and cared for the dogs as asked!”

About: I’ve worked with and lived around dogs nearly my whole life. I’ve helped my grandpa with his dog grooming shop over the summers and cared for family dogs including things like walking, training, grooming, and feeding when necessary. I work a part time job that can get quite busy sometimes, but no stress! your pet will always come first to an extra double shift. My schedule comes out weekly, so some things may change from time to time but it is a priority to not let that get in the way of any pet care. I am open on the weekends during the afternoon, easy for drop-ins or quick walks! I have a nice big fenced backyard, perfect for any dog not big on walks or dog parks. I have two dogs, one big, one little. the little is amazing company and goes along with whatever the vibe is. She could be a great buddy for your pup to go on a play date with! The big one may be a bit reactive at first, no aggression just barking and anxiety that usually goes away after a while, but she usually prefers to be alone. Because of this I am looking for jobs other than boarding for the most part. I have a small crate in my car for safe travel with little dogs, so driving around or going out to a specific location for a field trip is an option for puppies and small breeds!

“Regi was so sweet, and so attentive with my dogs! I could tell they felt happy and safe with her. I will absolutely ask to her to dog-sit again!”

About: I have experience working with an wide range of animals. Dogs, cats, ferrets, and goats. I treat every pet like family, providing patient, attentive care tailored to their personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals who need extra patience, consistency, and love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I have a full-time 8–5 job, but I make time before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. My evenings and weekends give me dedicated time to provide loving, dependable care for your pets. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow feeding, medication, potty, walking, and bedtime instructions carefully, while giving plenty of affection, playtime, and individual attention. I want every pet to feel relaxed, loved, and at home while their person is away.

“Christina was great! From the moment she first met with my four large dogs you could tell that she is very experienced and comfortable with animals. That energy led to the dogs warming up to her immediately. She showed up on time and sent updates and photos throughout the stay. I highly recommend her!”

Zephyr V.

“Candace did a great job taking care of our fur babies and our home! She sent lots of pics and updates to ensure us all was good.”

“Katherine did amazing with my cat Simba. I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about him. Would 100% recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”

Danielle C.

“Brianna is the best! I immediately felt her sweet and warm energy and so did my dog. My dog loved her as soon as they met and had an amazing time with her. Brianna was excellent with her communication, she provided lots of photos and updates and I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was being attended to with love and care.”

Diana C.

“This was my first time using Rover. I was nervous. No one other than my mom has house sit to take care of my dogs. I went to Italy for 2 weeks. Julie took care of my house and dogs during this time. I was very worried, but she assured me communicated with updates everyday and sent pics. I trust her and I will definitely use her again and refer her to my family and friends to house sit or take care of pets. I trust Julie with my house and pets. She is definitely a 5 star rating.”

Brenda V.

“Abigail took excellent care of Simba during our time away. She sent us picture updates and was communicative. We returned to a clean home and a happy pup. Would definitely have her again to watch our sweet Simba. Thank you Abigail!”

Kristiana D.

“Colleen was amazing with our dogs and our home. She took care of our pups as if they were her own! Colleen sent pictures and communicated with us frequently and replied to our texts promptly.”

Danaca D.

“Lilly watched my two fur babies at my place for three nights. I was very happy with her service. I received pictures multiple times daily. She walked my dogs daily and gave them special attention. My older dog takes insulin injections with meals and she did great with that. Thank you Lilly, I will come back to you for services when I go out of town again.”

About: I have been pet sitting regularly for about three years however, I live on a Ranch and have experience in animals of all sorts. I have so many barn cats and four personal house cats. I can handle from your smallest hamsters to your largest breeds. I’m your girl I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I regularly pet sit a boxer and bearded dragon monthly on top of my animals that I already have. I am able to drop in or stay the night as needed. I have a large fenced in yard where my great Pyrenees is able to roam freely. My cats have a large cat tree crates throughout the house that they can lay in if they choose. they also roam around the house they do not go outside. All of my animals have lots of enrichment.

“Greg sat for us while we went camping. One of our dogs became sick, but he was a great communicator and helped him through it. The house was clean and the dogs were happy when we got home!”

Joe G.

“Josie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and my home. The dogs were very happy and the house looked great. I would definitely have her back again. Thank you!”
