House Sitting Shady Dale

“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!”

“Mateo was geear and professional to work with. He was able to come by multiple times a day to check up on Domino and provide him the care he needed! Would recommend to friends and family!”

“Melissa is wonderful with large dogs and did a fantastic job caring for my two shepherds. She took the time to get to know their personalities and routines, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, she was dependable, and it was clear she genuinely cared about my dogs' well-being. It's not easy finding someone confident and experienced with large breeds, but Melissa exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and caring pet sitter. I will absolutely use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I have taken dogs for walks, overnight care, administer medication, follow feeding times and making sure that the fur babies are well taken care of. I have a flexible schedule. I can spend most of my time taking care of your dogs. I am available Friday evenings through Sunday nights. I make sure to read over the guidelines from my clients and how they prefer their dogs to be cared for. Let me know if their special care needed.

“Just wanted to share the great experience we had with Catecha this past weekend—and on very short notice! My pitbull, Jug, has some serious separation anxiety issues; issues we weren't fully aware of either, since this was his first time being watched by someone outside the family. Catecha was absolutely amazing and seemed to understand Jug's delicate personality right away. She kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which helped put my mind at ease. Her communication was top-notch, always responsive and not afraid to ask questions. She left our home clean and tidy—a huge bonus to come home to after traveling! I HIGHLY recommend Catecha if you need a dog sitter, especially if your pup is a bit high-maintenance, like mine. After the initial anxiety of leaving in general wore off, I felt comfortably at ease leaving Jug in her care, and that's priceless. I will definitely be using Catecha again in the future!”

About: I’m an animal lover, have always been & will always be. Since I was a small girl 😊 I’ve had the great pleasure & blessing of owning 6 cats and 9 dogs in my lifetime. My animals are my babies, furry babies are the best! I’m also trained in the Volhard motivational method of dog training, studied holistic animal care, as well as I’ve done therapy dog work (was certified trainer). I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule so I could spend the time needed giving your babies the care they deserve. I spend my mornings normally in the yard, tending the garden, plants and chickens as needed and getting exercise. I have a lot of land for exercising and spending fun time with your baby. My 2 pups are boundary trained and very well mannered. They are also crate trained, so I can offer your pups whatever they need:

About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve helped with many animal rescue missions by offering my home to them, helping to groom and feed them, and helping want to be owners find great matches. I work full time on M-T! My work allows for a very extended morning, breaks in between my clients and an extensive night. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other care your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their individual personality and boundaries. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, visiting parks, and giving them new, positive experiences when appropriate. I’ll also treat your home with care and keep you updated throughout my visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I also live in a gated community with a dog park, convenient waste bags, and a spacious neighborhood that provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for pets when they’re in my care.

“Thank you so so much”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a toddler, and I’ve always jumped at the chance to make new friends with any dog who seeks it! I’ve been dog-sitting for as long as I can remember, and I’m an active walker, so I’d love a good stroll with your furry companion! I’m also easily engaged in a good game of fetch, and I keep dog bags on me for their business! I’m a College Professor, so I have a flexible schedule! I can visit early in the morning, and I’m also available in the evenings as well! I have a very consistent schedule with my cats, so I will happily work around whatever schedule your pet needs! For my visits, I always want to approach any pet as if I’m a guest in their home, and I want to establish trust and respect your pet’s boundaries, whatever they may be! My priorities are the safety of your pet, food, walks if needed, and of course, plenty of attention!

“Angela was wonderful. She visited before the overnight to meet everyone, and they all reacted positively. I came home to a peaceful house with calm animals, everything was clean and neat, feeding areas were ready for the next meal. She contacted me when one of the gang had an accident, about my preferred method of dealing with it. She arrived promptly and started sending pictures and updates. We will be having her to house sit again.”

“Shannon was great! I need someone in a very short amount of time and she was able to make it happen. Easy to get in touch with communication is outstanding. Our 2 goldens were loved on so much and very well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely ask her to watch them again!!”

I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule!

I am a part-time student looking to house sit, check in, or care for your beloved pet. Most of my free time is in the weekends, but I would be happy to work with you to find a time that suits your needs. While sitting your freind, overnight, or for a day, I will take my time to get to know them & their unique personality!

About: Caring for pets and house sitting has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’m just getting started here on Rover, but I have over 15 years of experience managing homes and caring for all kinds of animals. Whether looking after my own pets or stepping in to help others, I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to every detail. Having owned a senior pets myself, I understand the patience, gentle touch, and close monitoring they require. I am fully trained and comfortable administering medications, including oral doses and injections, so you can travel with total peace of mind knowing your pet's health is in expert hands. My schedule is currently flexible and I'm eager to help you and your furry friends. I'm usually available after after a 24 hour notice. For House Sitting or Drop-Ins I treat your home with the utmost respect and strictly follow your security routines. I ensure all doors, windows, and gates are locked securely behind me. During visits, your pets are kept on a leash in unfenced areas. For Dog Walking Your dog's physical safety is my primary focus. I double-check all equipment (collars, harnesses, and leashes) before we leave the house and strictly avoid high-traffic or hazardous walking paths. I keep dogs on-leash at all times and remain highly alert to other dogs and traffic in your neighborhood.
