House Sitting Shady Dale

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years, including dogs and cats. Having grown up around animals myself, I understand how difficult it can be for pets when their owners are away. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re on vacation, and I’ll give them plenty of attention, affection, and care until you return. I am currently a college kid home for the summer. With that being said I have a completely open schedule right now until I head back in the fall! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they stay on their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also provide plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on each pet’s individual needs and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while their family is away. I always send updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

“They were very kind and attentive to all of the care instructions for our three pups! All of our dogs loved them and seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home. They left our home nice and clean as well. Would definitely rebook with them :)”

“Catecha was hands-down, the best decision we made for our Sobo! Given this was our first experience using a sitter, she made us feel so comfortable and communicated with us the entire length of our trip. Her skills and knowledge as a trainer is apparent in the way she interacted and bonded with our baby. 10/10 would recommend her and she will definitely be seeing our family again. She also left our home in mint condition and even helped correct some of Sobo’s behavioral issues. Her patience is unmatched! Thank you again Catecha !!”

About: I have been sitting dogs off and on for the last 5-6 years. I have an Aussie that loves playing with other dogs and is the sweetest. I currently work full time from home and can play throughout the day. I am able to let my fur baby out multiple times a day whenever he needs. I have a big backyard without a fence. There’s plenty of room to run with my dog each day and to keep your fur baby company the whole day.

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Canija was absolutely wonderful with our animals and took such great care of our home. We were away on an international trip and had the upmost confidence in our animals being safe and secure in her care. After a previous really awful experience with a Rover sitter she helped regain our confidence in sitters. We came home to a happy home and happy animals. We are super grateful and will definitely stay in touch and hope she’s available for the next trip!”

“Eric was great with my two cats, one of which is very anxious and took some serious coaxing and warming up to get her out and about. He even bought them a laser to play with them as we did not have one ourselves (just other toys)! Eric left the house in good order and was very respectful of the space. He kept in communication with us, which was much appreciated as we were first time Rover users and have never left the cats for that long before. He was patient with us in that respect. :) Thanks Eric!”

“Very happy with how Latoya cared for my babies. I have two dogs and a cat and they we're all loved and cared for while we we're away. Trusting your babies and your home to someone when you're away can always be tough. It is nice to know that I could trust Latoya. Will definitely look for her help again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid. I have experience with dogs from puppies to seniors . While your fur baby is in my care I’ll make sure to communicate and send pictures so that you can always know how your baby is doing. Right now I’m working part time so I’ll have more time on my schedule to do more walks. I set my own schedule so if your dog needs to be walked more than once I can accommodate that need. I’m always making sure that their collars, leash , and harnesses are secure before stepping out . I make sure to always have water on hand for those times they may become thirsty. I send photos while out as well while in my care. I also make sure to have all contact information and preferred vets on hand in case of an emergency .
