House Sitting Ruddock

“Olivia was amazing with taking care of Bug. She was responsive, punctual, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. I felt comfortable knowing Bug was in good hands. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

“Nolvia was great with my babies. It’s always so hard finding someone you feel comfortable with. Nolvia made it an easy choice with how responsive, willing and accommodating she was for our babies. She went way beyond what we expected. Would 100% recommend Nolvia and will definitely use her again.”

“Laura was great. She came to our rescue on short notice. Stayed at our house over the weekend so we could take our kids and grandchildren away. She was great with our dogs. Sent pictures and even washed the sheets and towels swept the floor and threw out some expired milk. Thank you Laura we would love to have you in our home when we go to Australia later this year.

“Gabrielle did a great job watching my 130lb 2 y/o ridgeback. She communicated well and carefully integrated him into the group of 4 well behaved dogs that she owns. I recommend using her as a Rover sitter.”

About: I focus on quality over quantity. I care for a limited number of dogs so each one gets individualized attention. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic oral medications, and caring for senior dogs who may need extra patience and routine. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and a calm atmosphere where dogs can relax and feel at home. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work a full-time office schedule, with remote work on Mondays and Tuesdays, which allows me to provide more supervision and interaction on those days. On in-office days, I maintain a consistent routine with morning, evening, and bedtime care, ensuring pets are never left without attention. I’m fully available on weekends, which allows for extra quality time, longer walks, and focused care. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet’s needs are met reliably and safely. I provide a calm and safe environment with a small fenced patio for supervised outdoor time. My condominium complex has multiple green areas that are ideal for regular walks, and there is a nearby park that allows for longer, enriching walks when appropriate. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. Pets are always supervised during outdoor time.

“Claire was the best pet sitter for our fur babies! They were happy when we got home, and we weren’t worried while we were gone due to her keeping us informed and sending lots of pictures. She was also the most considerate house guest! She’s kind, caring and professional. I’d give her more stars if I could.”

“She was great and took really good care of my four dogs while I was out of town”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since 2015 and truly enjoy working with pets of all kinds. I am CPR certified and have experience handling many different types of animals and personalities. I also have strong references available. I have over an acre of land with a partially fenced yard, which allows for safe outdoor time, exercise, and play in a calm environment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I keep a pretty open schedule and can work with most days and times, including weekends. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings and do my best to accommodate last-minute needs when possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a calm, supervised environment where pets are always cared for and monitored. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and make sure each pet is handled according to their needs, personality, and routine.

About: I believe I’m an excellent pet sitter because animals have been a huge part of my life from the very beginning. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I’ve personally bottle fed kittens, puppies, and baby goats, giving me hands on experience with pets that need extra attention and care. I also attended veterinary classes through LSU’s agricultural program, where I learned valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and proper care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a comforting presence, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I currently work in Healthcare at North Oaks Hospital. I take care of my pet daily, as I would yours once we figure out which days i’m need to care for your baby! Creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention while following their normal routines as closely as possible. I carefully monitor their behavior, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and ensure all doors, gates, and leashes are secure. By providing a calm, loving atmosphere and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs, I help them feel safe, happy, and stress free while their owners are away.

About: I love animals and have cared for friends’ pets whenever they’ve needed a trusted dog sitter. I’ve also fostered dogs for Take Paws Rescue, from young puppies to senior dogs, which has given me experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention, the same way I would want someone to care for my own pets. I recently stepped away from my full time job and currently have a very flexible schedule with open availability. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and consistency throughout the day. I currently have three rescue dogs of my own, a Doberman puppy, a two year old Doberman, and a small mixed breed. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Because of my own pets, I prefer caring for animals in their own home where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I always treat every pet with patience, love, and care as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.

“Anika took great care of our baby! Sent lots of pictures and kept us updated, really appreciate you ❤️”

“Darcy was fantastic! We were in the process of moving and to change plans and times, and she rolled with it. And took on the challenge of taking care of our boys in their brand new surroundings and when we got home, they both seemed happy and well acclimated. Couldn’t have had a better outcome. Good communicator and good person.”

About: I’ve spent over 15 years pet sitting regularly and in recent years, I’ve been a traveling pet/house sitter. I have thirty plus 5 star reviews from the Trusted Housesitters platform, as well as references which I’m happy to share upon request. I worked as a vet tech assistant and kennel technician at a Rio Del Mar Pet Hospital in Aptos, CA for 2 years. I was a stable care taker, at Little Paddocks Farm in Yorktown, VA for 7 years. I helped train dogs and horses, we also had pigs and cats that I cared for. I absolutely love plants too, so watering and maintenance is something I enjoy. I will happily take care of gardens and bird feeding as needed. My schedule is flexible, I base my schedule around pet and house sitting. I’m available for single day visits, as well as weekly and monthly agreements. I care deeply for animals, and truly enjoy comforting pets while the owners are away. I know it can be very stressful for pets and their owners when they’re apart. I look forward to helping your animal companions stay calm and stress free while you’re away!

“Robin did a great job and helped us to have a wonderful relaxed vacation! She is so sweet and you can see how she genuinely loves animals. She sent us cute photos of our cats so we could see their faces and knew at all times that they were doing well. She left the house clean and even washed and dried the sheets from the bed. We will absolutely book with her again and recommend you do as well!”

About: I’ve been walking and caring for animals since I was a young child, so I bring a lot of hands-on experience and confidence in handling pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to keep them safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m currently working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I’ve developed strong time management and organizational skills that translate well into pet walking and training. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available during key times of the day for walks, check-ins, and consistent training sessions. Since I’m already accustomed to planning my day around routines, I’m able to reliably incorporate pet care into my schedule while maintaining a high level of attention and consistency. This flexibility also means I can accommodate client needs more easily and provide dependable, attentive care for their pets. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by prioritizing consistency, attentiveness, and clear communication. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety at all times. My experience working with animals since childhood has taught me how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and respond appropriately. I also maintain a clean, organized space and follow any specific instructions from pet owners regarding routines, feeding, and training. Building trust is very important to me, so I make sure to communicate regularly with updates and ensure each pet is cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine attention.
