House Sitting Seventh Ward

“Catherine took great care of Maggie! She sent loads of photos and videos and Maggie was having a great time in all of them. I came home to a sleepy pup + some of Catherine’s excellent homemade dog treats. I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough!”

Nicole W.

“Fantastic! Will be robooking again! Highly recommend! She took the best care of our old man!!!!”

Jamie G.

“Ebony did such a great job with our dogs! She was super easy to communicate with, sent pictures of the pups multiple times a day, and followed all the instructions we left. Ebony also took great care of my less people friendly dog and ended up earning her trust by the end of her stay. We will definitely be booking Ebony again and we highly recommend that you book her as well!”

“Katie took great care of my pup, and communicated perfectly.”

Jonathan S.

“Joree and my dog got along great. She stayed with him for the weekend while I took a last-minute trip. She sent plenty of photos and updates, and I came home to a clean house and relaxed dog. I would be happy to work with Joree again.”

About: I've never known life without animals! I've been responsible for pets from a very young age: from gerbils, to cats and dogs, to squirrels and goats, my circle of friends and family have always committed open homes and hearts to furry friends. Every stage of life, every shade of personality, I resolve to provide love, care and accountability. My personal dedication is boosted to professional assurance, as I am a long term caretaker at Mid City Animal House Daycare and Boarding. My part time work schedule is flexible, and I'm almost always in pet care mode since it's what I do! I am available for most services, from dog walking to house sitting, and if your pets would be good roomies with my pets, I am open to boarding on a case-by-case basis! I am comfortable caring for multiple animals at once, and following owners instructions with a keen eye. I am comfortable administering medications, special care instructions (i.e: elderly or special needs animals) and giving walks and baths. I am generally comfortable in unfamiliar places, maintaining a calm energy, respecting property and taking great care to give pets the attention they need in the absence of their owners. If you are interested in boarding with me: I currently provide a loving home to 2 cats and a dog. They are friendly, curious and well socialized with people and other animals. Dot, our boxer-collie, is especially good with dogs, cats and small children. For safety, we are able to easily separate pets either by partitioning/gating off rooms where they can maintain comfort, or utilizing the large dog crate in the front room where your pet will not be sequestered all by themselves, but still have a space they feel secure. I have no allergies, aversions, or phobias. I communicate well and will happily answer questions and provide references.

“This was the first time leaving my pup alone, but Cheryl eased my mind every step of the way. Not only were my babies clearly well cared for, but she left our apartment in better shape than we’d left it. Highly recommended!! She definitely went above and beyond!!”

Liz D.

“Joel was an awesome sitter for our pup. He was quick to respond and went above and beyond. Our dog was happier when we returned than with any other rover we have used. Will re-book him in the future!”

Cameron S.

“Amara did an excellent job caring for my senior dog while I was out of town. She was able to give him his medication every day and keep him on his regular schedule. I cannot recommend her enough and will be booking with her for future pet sitting needs.”

About: Animals have been part of my life since before I can remember — one of my earliest memories is our Bernese Mountain Dog happily dragging me down the block. I've kept animals close ever since, so I've got real, hands-on experience with pets at every life stage, from housebreaking a new puppy to helping an arthritic senior get comfortable on the stairs. Friends have been handing me their dogs for years too — weekend trips, last-minute favors — so caring for someone else's pet like my own isn't new territory for me. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and however we're spending time together, my goal is the same: keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible. Animals feel safest when their world doesn't change while you're away — same walk times, same feeding schedule, same bedtime ritual — so I take the time to learn what "normal" looks like for yours specifically. These days I share my home with two rescue cats — Cucumber, an 8-lb grumpy old man who insists on being called "a good boy," and Daisy, his partner in running the household — and Jeffrey, a sweet Blue Heeler mix with plenty of opinions to bark about. Expect photo and video updates throughout our time together, plus extra playtime worked in whenever your pet's up for it. Every animal is different, and I take the time to read their cues and meet them where they're at. Some want a full-on wrestling match, others just want quiet company. There's no better feeling than when an animal decides you're good people. I work freelance, so my schedule stays pretty flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, whatever your pet needs. That flexibility means reliable, consistent care for daily walks, drop-ins, or overnight house sitting, whenever the timing works best for you. Most of my care happens in your home — dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting — so I start by learning your routines, entry points, and house rules. I stick to feeding and walk schedules exactly as given, double-check that doors and gates are secure every time I come and go, and stay alert for anything that could be a hazard.

“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”

Liana D.

“Hannah did such a great job! She send me updates and pictures and followed all my instructions! Best sitter I had so far! I will book her again. :)”

Yona K.

“We had a great experience with Stacy sitting our pup Archie in our house over the holiday! Stacy was super responsive and took the time to understand Archie's habits and routine in the house before booking. We loved getting frequent updates and pictures while we were away, we know Archie was getting lots of love and exercise, and we came home to a happy pup and a clean house!”

“This was the first time using this service for me. I was very apprehensive and worried about leaving my dogs. I have a 13 yr old senior who has hind leg issues and is slow to get around. I was so worried he wouldn’t do well if I left him. I also have a high energy, excessive barking dog. She wears a humane bark collar but I was worried it wouldn’t work or she’d still be super hyper on it. Jamie reassured me that it was working great and there were no issues. Jamie gave me text and picture updates and completely alleviated my fears and worries. She takes great care and is very compassionate with the animals and the owners. I would recommend her to everyone and definitely hire her again.”

Emily J.

“Karen was so great !! She has great communication and I could tell in the pictures she sent that my pups were loved . She truly allowed us to enjoy our trip .”

Cristina & Husny W.

“Bianca was amazing! She stayed with my pup, Jane, for 8 nights while we were on vacation. I was able to relax and enjoy the trip knowing Janie was in good hands. Bianca sent a couple updates per day including pictures of their time together. I came home to a clean house and a happy pup. I will definitely be hiring Bianca again in the future.”

Christine E.

“Caitlin did great! I left her quite the challenge, a 5 and a half month old terrier mix pup rescue that loves to nibble:). She managed to take good care of my fur baby (updates every day with pictures to boot!) AND looked after my house while I was away in Alaska for over 2 weeks! She has a big heart and is extremely trustworthy. If you need someone to go above and beyond with your pet look no further!”

Adam R.

“Ian did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my dog and cat. He sent pics and updates everyday! It really put my mind at ease to have updates like that. I will definitely be rebooking him again!”

Meagan T.

“Nikki was amazing with our dog Winston! She took great pictures and gave us detailed updates. She also left the house cleaner than how we left it. Will definitely work with her again.”

Madison C.

“What amazed me about Ryan was how organized, knowledgeable and self-sufficient he was. He even took notes at the meet and greet! We quickly concluded that we and our pups were in very good hands!(”
