House Sitting in Rutledge

“I was skeptical to use Rover, but I had to make last-minute travel plans and my regular pet sitter was unavailable so I decided to give it a try. I was also afraid that nobody was going to want to take care of my eight dogs (mostly senior and special needs) and one cat. I contacted Amber and described all of my pets and their special needs, and she was up for the challenge. She even shared pictures and stories of her own babies to make me feel more at ease. Leaving six dogs over the age of 12, two special needs Frenchies (one deaf and one paralyzed), and one 17-year-old cat in the care of a stranger was very difficult for me to do. Upon meeting Amber, however, I was quickly put at ease. My animals immediately took to her and I could tell she was a kind, calm, gentle soul, which made leaving them easier. Amber handled all of my babies with extreme care and even read and followed my many, many pages of instructions. When she had questions, she texted or called me just like I asked. She took on the challenge of my paralyzed Frenchie like a pro - and it's not an easy job. She had to express her bladder every several hours, change her diaper, give her baths, carry her around, and give her lots of snuggles! She administered medications to my animals and gave them the various types of different food they eat. I came home to a happy, healthy crew of animals - and a new friend! I'm so happy I chose Amber and that she "chose" us. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!”

“As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!”

“Preston did an absolutely outstanding job caring for our animals while we were away for a week. Our dog, who is both highly anxious and sometimes aggressive, completely warmed up to him - a true testament to Preston’s patience and skill. He not only gave our dog the care and attention he needed but also made sure our two cats, two mini horses, and donkey were all well cared for and happy. We came home to a tidy house, content animals, and total peace of mind knowing everything had been handled so well. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter, Preston is the one!”

“I have booked with Donnis a couple of times. Shes friendly and professional. She's consistently on time, and leaves my home clean and in good order. My pup is comfortable with her and I'd book her again!”

Lisa L.

“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”

Anastasia B.

“Catecha is the best. She was prompt, courteous and showed so much love to our Gracie. She updated us frequently on what was happening and gave Gracie plenty of love and attention. We will definitely use her services again in the future 😀!”

“Mckenzie was the first sitter we ever had, and she was great! She took great care of our crew, and knowing she was there with them gave us a lot of peace while we were away. She connected with me daily, shared pictures of my pups, and asked questions if she needed more information, which I really appreciated! On the way home, we got a flat tire, and she was willing to be on standby to let our dogs out in case we were home too late. She also left us notes about the week, again, which I appreciated! Highly recommend and we would definitely use her again! Thanks Mckenzie!!”

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years, including dogs and cats. Having grown up around animals myself, I understand how difficult it can be for pets when their owners are away. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re on vacation, and I’ll give them plenty of attention, affection, and care until you return. I am currently a college kid home for the summer. With that being said I have a completely open schedule right now until I head back in the fall! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they stay on their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on each pet’s individual needs and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while their family is away. I always send updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Tara was excellent caring for my cats during a weekend trip I took. Aside from the basics, she gave them companionship and loving care during my absence. I will absolutely use Tara again. She was respectful of my home, communicated with me often and sent pictures while I was away. Thank you so much Tara!”

“Lily was great with our girls!! We will definitely use her again!”

“Alanna is a sweetheart….she was playing with Murphy right away. Alanna listened to instructions and immediately felt at home around Murphy! Hope to keep using her in the future!!”

About: Neighbors, friends and family continue to entrust me with their pets of all ages! My pup has hiked to high heights with me, but I’ve also loved many in their final, precious days. Wherever your loved one is, I’ll be sure to care for your fur babe like you would! I am a mom of one that works full time for a University from home. Monday through Friday I work from 8-5 with two 15 minute breaks and a lunch break of at least one hour. I am a triathlete that is often up at 5 AM training. Then, I go on a walk every day on my lunch and often again when I log off for the day. I’d love for your fur babe to tag along! I have two fenced in yards full of sun and plenty of shade. I have a 40 pound doodle that can keep them company and give them plenty of exercise if needed, but I can also keep them separated if that is preferred. I have fresh well water and a walking trail around our property. I can also crate your dog or offer them a bed if they need. Otherwise, your loved one will roam free with lots of play time and cuddles. Whatever your fur babe needs, I’m here to serve you!

“Rachel was great with my 2 large dogs. She took good care of them and they seem to love her. Will definitely use her again!”

“Megan has stayed with our pooches numerous times. The best way to sum up how wonderful she is is to say the dogs are a little down and look for her at our gate for a few days after we return!”

Lenore K.

“Phoebe was awesome! She was easy to work with and did an excellent job taking care of our small dog, four cats, and our home! She is responsible and dedicated. I would not hesitate to have her take care of your fur babies!”

“Our whole family absolutely loves Dan. He was extremely communicative and sent pictures and daily, which we loved having. He went above and beyond in caring for our dogs, as well as our house. He fielded unexpected deliveries and an insurance adjuster all without complaint or hesitation. He helped our Bassett through several thunderstorms by lying with her wherever she was most comfortable, whether that was the bathroom floor or his bed. He was extremely thoughtful and resourceful when our Border collie mix had stomach issues come up during his stay, and he helped us work through a plan to care for her. We would hire Dan again in a heartbeat and we recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Hana stayed with our dog Rudy for 5 nights while we traveled overseas. Rudy is a rescue and has trouble trusting new people, so Hana came over twice before the stay to hang out with him, which was wonderful. As expected, Rudy took about 24 hours to get used to her, and Hana was understanding and calm about the situation. She also emailed me regularly to keep me updated of progress. We came home to a happy dog and a very clean apartment- she went above and beyond and we couldn't have been happier. I'm actually booking her again for the summer. ”
