House Sitting in Sampson

About: Running a rescue has provided me the unique ability to work with many different types of dogs. It has provided understanding and experince that can put your mind at ease. I have experience with behavioral dogs, and anxious dogs. Currently able to be flexible, since I work part time with a rescue. I can manage your house as needed for your pets! Located in Marshfield I can travel up to 30 miles. In home services provide your pet with security while you’re gone. They do not have to leave and you can be assured they are well taken care of.

About: I have loved animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of friend’s, family’s and my own cats and dogs since I was a kid. I’m gentle and patient with all animals and have years of experience with many different cats and dogs. I work part time with a very flexible schedule and mostly from home so I have plenty of time for overnight stays or to check in on a pet multiple times a day! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting in others homes and I am very flexible when it comes to working around you and your pets schedules and your house rules.

About: I’ve taken care of farms for over 2 weeks at a time, including cats and dogs! No animal is too much!! I’ve also pet sit for families around my area from quite sometime now! I’m currently working overnights at a hospital in town, so if you are needing your pet watched during the day I’m your gal! Cats and Dogs!! I have a cat at the moment he is good with all animals and children, I promise to give your pet just as much love as I give mine!

“Samantha is excellent. I don’t have any worries when she’s with my pup. Always on time, super respectful of my dog and space, and reasonably priced.”

About: My 14 year old dachshund passed away last spring. I was unsure of jumping right back in so we fostered. Charlie, my dachshund was not a good social fit for most dogs and we were very limited in taking her or leaving her with anybody. I loved her dearly but she was a total pill! Dottie our new cattle dog mix is just wonderful with other dogs, and because she loves to play...here we are on this site! I do not want the responsibility of more than one dog as an owner but Dottie is such a great host to all dogs in our house I thought why not? I work from home and also have times where I need to be gone but never for more than 3 hours at a time. I will never book if I am too busy to be a good dog parent. That is a promise. I have a flexible schedule that I am in charge of at all times. I always need an appointment prior, it’s hard to say yes in a last minute booking unless I have had the dog prior. I would like to see a complete profile with photos to consider a booking. I am not looking to make this my primary business and only want to cater to the right pets that fit our life. I am not a dog trainer but do love them dearly when they are in my care. A good fit for us is a typical fun loving dog that likes everybody and wants to play and walk. I do believe another good fit would be the super lazy or old pet that just likes to lay around or be petted. I am all about them. They need to be house trained crate trained is a plus. I can’t take any aggressive tendencies toward kids, cats or other dogs. I would also like to avoid dogs that have intense anxiety or tend to be destructive. If our home sounds like a good fit reach out! Our days start early at 6:00am Monday-Friday, the weekends depend on our Schedule. We are also early to bed at 8:00pm so would like to avoid late pick ups but can understand if it’s a late flight or a long drive in a day to get back home. Honestly I have never been a dog sitter to anyone professionally. It's always been a family and friends deal for free or trade. I Have a nice house in an awesome south east Springfield neighborhood, It comes with a wood 6ft privacy fence. I have a 9 year old kid who loves pets as well. We have Felix, a 3 year old male tabby who comes in and out on his own free will at all times of the day. He is indifferent to dogs, doesn't want to hang out with them but not going to bite or attack anybody. He is a good boy. Dottie is our new adopted dog. We got her from care rescue shelter in August 2025 to foster and eventually sealed the deal for keeps. She is a lovely little creature that loves to play and run around the backyard with her other dog buddies. Dottie has a crate and we still use it at times but she is pretty well allowed to roam around. She is crate trained and potty trained. Basically I am pretty easy dog mamma. If they need rest, they get it. If they want to play and run they can. They come in and out when they want. That's how we roll at our house.

“Markie was very attentive To our anxious dog Henry and he did well. She sent us photos during her stay She is very knowledgeable about dogs and a plus is that she fosters!!”

“Garrett was amazing! He kept my dogs happy and sent updates frequently. He’s a lifesaver!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my friends and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I have a huge passion for animals and LOVE loving on them! I’ve taken care of of every kind of little pet-from dogs and cats to lizards and rats. I do have little ones in the house but we have taught them from a young age to be very respectful of animals and their space. We also have two Corgis in our household. Both Corgis are very friendly with other dogs but we understand that some owners may be uncomfortable with having new dogs around their furry friend. With this being said, the corgis are used to following my husband’s schedule who works from home during the night so they can easily be separated from your four-legged friends! As a Stay-At-Home-Mom I am able to offer 24-hour care! We do occasionally like to get out for an activity so do let me know in advanced if around the clock care is needed so we can accommodate! We love to take morning walks and would love for your furry friend to join us! If a walk won’t work-we have a giant fenced-in back yard to run around and play in! I am currently a stay-at-home-mom so most of my day is spent in the home following whatever schedule my boys keep me on:) We would love to incorporate your furry friend into our schedule! I am able to crate your dog (if needed) during the night or when I’m away. If a crate is not needed during the night then your furry friend will be allowed to sleep wherever!

About: ~~ I’m the perfect sitter for your anxious, mellow or chill or senior dog as I have a calm and peaceful presence. ~~ What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the flexibility to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also regularly help care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need and how they’re feeling. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that will still allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s. 1st at 7:30-8:30a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I also avoid loud noise or disruptions and aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

“Mel is amazing! She has watched our boys a handful of times now and they love her! She’s communicative, responds quickly, and genuinely cares about your pets!”

“Heaven was great at watching our 4 cats and 2 dogs in our home while we spent a week in Florida! It was our first try at using Rover to book someone to watch our pets in our home and we are very pleased. Heaven stayed in touch with us during our trip to ask question and provide updates and took great care of our pets and house. We will be using her again on future trips.”

About: I have 4 of my own dogs at home, I love hanging out with them and taking care of them but I do know that life gets busy and when your away you need someone to come and watch them for you! I get up in the morning and right away I take my dogs out and feed them and I take them out through out the day and feed them at night! I am able to feed them and watch them, my favorite thing to do is play with dogs! I also love giving them baths, and I love going on walks and it makes it so much more fun when you bring a dog along!

“Sherri did an amazing job of taking care of our critters! She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on them as well. She brought her puppy along and everyone got along wonderfully! We will be booking Sherri again!”

Kari T.

“We could not be more pleased with Jonna. She kept us informed with just enough texts and pictures that we knew thery were being well cared for. One example included "We all fell asleep on the couch last night." We knew all was well as that is typical of my wife and her "babies". We will would give 10 stars if we could.”

I have a fenced in backyard with 3 dogs to keeps yours company! Along with a 3 story house they will have full access too! With water bowls on each floor!

About: I stand out because I offer dependable, personalized care that fits each pet’s routine and personality. I’m comfortable with young pets that need extra patience, consistency, and reinforcement of basic training, as well as senior pets that may need a gentler pace, medication support, and close attention to comfort and mobility. I focus on keeping pets calm, safe, and happy, while giving owners regular updates and peace of mind. Pet care is a natural and meaningful part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making time for consistent walks, feeding, and calm, attentive companionship. I’m home often with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide steady care throughout the day and a peaceful, secure environment overnight. Whether it’s daytime visits or extended stays, I focus on creating a balanced, comforting routine so each pet feels safe, relaxed, and right at home. I care for pets with a calm, attentive approach, whether they’re in my home or their own familiar space. In my home, I create a peaceful, balanced environment with consistent routines, cozy spaces to relax, and plenty of gentle attention so pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m mindful of their individual needs, energy levels, and preferences, making sure they have the right mix of activity and rest. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their usual routine to help them feel secure and at ease. I respect your space, follow all care instructions closely, and provide dependable, loving companionship while you’re away. My goal in both settings is to create a steady, comforting experience where pets feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of animals starting at age 12. From horses to hamsters. I’ve nursed fur babies from the elderly to puppies. Nothing is unfamiliar to me and I have strong confidence in my knowledge. I have shadowed and volunteered in animal shelters and vet clinics. One thing is for sure I put any animal before anything else. I do work three days a week and off the rest of the week. I’ll have plenty of time to spoil your furry companions! I have a fenced in yard for all the four-legged babies to run and enjoy. An energetic aussie that is well behaved and knows basic training for your energetic companion to play with. I have a separate room for your sweet companion to sleep in at night. My location is a small town perfect for peaceful walks.

“Highly recommended. Amy went above and beyond while watching our four dogs. She brought them toys and provided communication to me while I was away. She even spent time visiting with them before the scheduled time so they would be comfortable with each other. Amy is the best!”

“Jerica stayed over and watched our cat while we were away. When we got home, the apartment was tidy and the cat was happy! Would definitely recommend her as a housesitter/petsitter!”
