About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to provide dependable care and peace of mind for every family I work with. I work a full-time job 7am to 5pm 4 days a week. I am available three days out of the week and also Anytime from 5:30 PM till 5 AM 6 days a week and all day Sunday. I have a fenced in yard and also have my fur baby at home who is well taken care of he’s more like a human than anything. I can also board your fur babies and also stay in your house overnight as needed.
About: I myself do not have a pet yet, because of my living situation (my landlord does not allow pets) but I have loved animals my entire life and have years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. From, dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, to even turtles. I love them all. Starting from when I was younger, my neighbor would often ask me to wash and look after her dog named "bear". So I learned early on how much I enjoy caring for animals. Recently a friend of a friend trusted me to watch their sweet, 8 month old white lab overnight, we had so much fun, and I made sure she felt right at home with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles! I also regularly stop by to care for my boyfriends Great Danes, Ellie and Molly whenever I have the chance! Whether it's daily walks, drop ins, or overnight stays, I'm here to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and safe. I can't wait to meet your furry friends and give them the same care and attention id want for my own! :) I'm a bookstore manager with a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I work Tuesdays through Thursdays from 10AM to 5PM, and Fridays and Saturdays from 2PM to 6PM. My Mondays are mostly free, though I do have a commitment after 6PM. Sundays are always booked, but I have lots of availability during mornings and evenings the rest of the week. With my afternoons free on most weekdays and mornings free on weekends, I can provide regular walks, drop ins, and overnight care! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it my priority to keep them comfortable, safe, and secure in the environment they know best. I respect each pets routines and unique needs, making sure they feel at ease when you're away. I follow any specific instructions you provide, whether its feeding schedules, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys, so your pet stays as close to their normal routine as possible! I take pet and house safety seriously, and always keep an eye on things, like door locks, gates, and anything your pet may get into. With my experience and attention to detail, I'm committed to earning your trust and ensuring you =r pets are happy, safe, and well cared for!
“Bobbi was great as a dog/house sitter. She was able to stay with my dog and keep her entertained, even over a holiday! She sent regular updates and photos and Nadia was clearly happy with her company!”
About: I have been raising and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. From birthing puppies to senior dog care. Who doesn’t love a furry friend! I am a teacher who is off for summer break and would love to fill my summer free time helping your special furry family members! I am currently living in an apartment living so I understand the need for dog walks. I will visit and provide lots of love and attention.
“Ellen is great! She communicated everything with us, sent pictures, and reassured me that our dogs were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a house sitter!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I have had small to large dogs with various energy levels and love getting to know what each pet needs to be happy. I am very energetic and enjoy going on walks and runs with dogs. Some people love babies but I love pets! I am comfortable giving any oral medication pets need while under my supervison. My job is to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy when you are not there! I have a car so I am able to accomodate any transportation needs. I live in a spacious two bedroom apartment with my boyfriend and if your pet is comfortable sleeping in the bed that is not a problem at all! I look forward to meeting both you and your pet!
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!
“We are so glad our friends referred Chuck to us for house sitting our two big boys! Chuck did an amazing job--not only did we come to a clean house, but our dogs were well taken care of and we received multiple updates throughout the day. We definitely trust Chuck with our boys and house and will be booking him in the future.”
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 usually watch just 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.
“Grady is simply the best! Our dogs love him and he gives them so much love, walking and fun while we are gone, I’d be surprised if they were happy we are home. He made our trip a lot less stressful by knowing he was taking such good care of them.”
“Charel was so great with my pup. She went above and beyond taking him for walks, to the park, and the beach and gave me peace at mind by sending lots of pictures and updates. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”
“Britany was great! Very considerate and communicative. She was very thorough during meet and greet and was open to learning new skills, such as taking care of our water fowl 🦆🦆We will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve always adored pets since I was young. I’ve had many in my life from cats,dogs,and rodents. I know animals are equal beings that need treatment with special accommodations. This requires patience which is almost unlimited for me.i currently have three cats that I’ve owned since they were 3-4 months old they’re now 6. I just got rats a few weeks ago they’re girls 6-8 months old. I believe everything follows a routine dedicated to them and I have no issue aligning myself to these routines. I’m still finishing high school at the moment and I have a job. But besides managing those I’m available weekdays after 4 if I’m not scheduled to work, weekends any time I keep my babies inside as much as possible. They’re allowed to free roam outside since they’re used to that lifestyle from before. They wear flee collars, jam is allergic. I cleanse them with daily grooming and anima safe wipes or soap if necessary. They’re fed 2-3 a day with half a cup or less of cat food I do plan to change their diets eventually. When it comes to other people’s pets I treat them with nothing but love and care and always stay considerate of whatever the owner says I should know about that animal. I’m extremely against cruelty brand products so I will avoid associating or using them.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saint Benedict walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saint Benedict maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saint Benedict choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
