House Sitting in Saint Germain

“Laura was quick to respond to my request. She also arranged to meet my dog before the sitting appointment to be sure she understood the routine. I could hardly tell anyone had been in my house except that my dog was happy and well cared for when I got home! I would definitely see if Laura is available for future sitting needs.”

“Vanessa was great. Very friendly. I’m pretty sure she never left the house the entire weekend we were gone and stayed with our pets the entire time! She messaged daily and the pets were happy and healthy when we returned”

“Jayne is a jewel! We were a little nervous about being away for so many days because our pup is older and a little quirky. After meeting Jayne and seeing how comfortable Lexi was with her, we knew we were leaving her in good hands. She sent messages and pictures and made it possible to have a worry free vacation. The daily log she did was very sweet. She has the experience and a good sense of humor and I am confident that she is able to handle any situation that would come up. Extremely happy with the care she gave our pup (and the flowers!)”

About: I graduated with a bachelor's of science in animal behavior. I have worked in animal care for over 10 years in multiple different animal care facilities, including boarding facilities, doggy day cares, animal farms, animal shelters, animal hospitals, and pet sitting. I have managed multiple boarding facilities for both cats and dogs. Through this I have gain a lot of experience managing animal stress and anxiety. I have also gain experience in enrichment. I have been a pet sitter for over 7 years and love to offer this service! Having you pet stay in the comfort of their own home greatly reduces the stress of you leaving. It allows them to keep their daily routines and brings peace of mind to you that they are in good hands. I have experience will a variety of behavior types, medical conditions, and ages. I also have experience with birds, gerbils, rabbits, horses, goats, and chickens. I have a very flexible schedule. I work from home and am available during the morning, day, and night for drop ins or can stay over at your home for overnight stays. I only offer pet sitting in the pets home. I like to have a meet and greet with the pet and owner to make sure it is a good fit and to learn about the pets routine. The service I offer is tailored to what is best for your pet.

“Lila was wonderful with our pugs, Stella and Martini! She sent daily pics and I never had to worry about them, they seemed to be in excellent hands! Would absolutely ask Lila to watch them again.”

About: I have cared for and loved animals all my life. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from UW-River Falls and have worked as a zookeeper at 2 zoos. My last dog Molly was actually part of the closing on my house. She was the least maintenance dog I have ever had. Unfortunately, her old age caught up with her recently and she is no longer with us. After some time I will be on the lookout for another dog, but for now I enjoy babysitting the wide variety of dogs I get from Rover. I do have a rabbit that lives outside and a horse that lives at a local farm. Let me know if I can help your family while you go on vacation or are visiting the Northwoods. I work full time during the school year. My kids and I walk our dogs around the block every morning before leaving the house. We are gone from 7:15 to 4:00 during school days. When we return home we take a walk around the block again and some times another lap before bed. In my home, my kids take on some of the responsibility of feeding and playing with the dogs because the money we earn on Rover goes directly into our vacation fund. As a family we take the dogs on walks around the block at least twice a day. Some days we are able to head to the horse farm to run around in the indoor arena or on the trails in the woods. Pups that have a good recall can successfully go off leash during this time, otherwise they will be on a long leash so they can get a lot of energy out.

“Alexis was wonderful with our dog Mowgli! Mowgli is a higher anxiety dog and Mowgli warmed up to her right away! She went above and beyond to make sure he was cared for when a big thunderstorm rolled in. She sent regular updates and photos on how he was doing. We were able to travel without stress knowing he was in great hands. She also left out house spotless!”
