House Sitting in Shelbyville

“Jena was so loving and caring to Remi. I appreciate her flexibility to pet sit on such short notice. I will definitely call Jena again in the near future.”

“Ross did a wonderful job housesitting and watching our pets. He took our dog on daily walks and gave her lots of attention. He sent us updates and pictures to show how she was doing. He gave time and attention to our cat as well and also sent pictures of him. The house was tidy and neat, just as we had left it. His care for our house was also excellent! We would recommend Ross to any pet owners who want the extra care and attention to their pets and assurance that they are being well cared for. We know our pets were left with a caring and responsible sitter which gave us a peace of mind while away on a family vacation. We will be using his services again! Five star rating!”

“We had Kaitlyn stay at our home over Memorial Day weekend to care for our two dogs, and she was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond, doing two home visits before her stay to get to know our pups and ensure they were comfortable with her. One of our dogs is 15 years old, deaf, on several medications, and prone to wandering at night—which requires a lot of patience and attentiveness. Kaitlyn handled it all with care and compassion. Her communication was excellent; we received daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, the house was spotless and, most importantly, both dogs were calm and relaxed. That’s not always the case—so it was clear they felt safe and cared for. We couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care Kaitlyn provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter.”

“Angela was wonderful with our Annie, prompt and attentive and kept us updated throughout out the day with photos. Angela was very personable. We are on vacation and so happy she was available to watch Annie on the days we're out and about.”

About: I grew up with a dogs and cats. I love their snuggles! I have joined Rover to give myself a bit of boost. I used to have a dog named Mabellene, she was wonderful, I currently own a cat. I’ve always had a pet, so they are the first thing on my mind when I’m leaving the office ……or waking up in the morning. I only sit in my apartment on special circumstances, my cat has to be okay with the dog. In your home I follow all rules and basic etiquette when in someone else’s space.

“Jenna did a fabulous job house sitting for us!! Jack, Trixie, and Thea were loved on the entire weekend! I received tons of photos and timely updates. I highly recommend Jenna for any of your pet sitting/house sitting needs.”

“Claire was amazing! Our Great Dane Ruby who we have never left alone loved her! Ruby is a very anxious dog and Claire made her feel safe and took amazing care of her and our house!”

“Allison was amazing. She made homemade dog safe bubbles, brought tennis balls and played lots of fetch with my babies. Lucy,Bruno and scruffers had an amazing week. When I got home they were exhausted and didn’t want Allison to leave. She is the best sitter I have had and I highly recommend her.”

About: We have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels—from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. We focus on making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and engaged while their owners are away.What sets me apart is my active lifestyle and the energy I bring to every pet I care for. We regularly mountain bike, hike, run long distances, and play soccer, so high-energy dogs feel right at home with us. Whether your dog loves long walks, outdoor play, or just needs someone who can keep up, we can make sure they get the exercise and engagement they need in the comfort of a familiar enviroment. Solomon: While playing professional soccer in Austria, I regularly took a local family’s dog along on my preseason conditioning walks and runs. It was a great way to stay active and bond with the dog, and I quickly became part of their daily routine. Emily: I have a lifelong love for animals and have cared for everything from baby goats to house cats. Together, we bring a calm, confident, and experienced approach to pet care, and we truly enjoy building trust with each animal we look after. As a teacher with the summer off and an MBA student with a virtual WFH internship, our schedules are wide open, giving us plenty of time to provide attentive, hands-on care for your dog. With a flexible routine and a calm home environment, we can offer consistent walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pup needs structure, extra exercise, or just someone to keep them company, we have the time and attention to give them the care they deserve during the summer months. Can you work from a clients home? If so, I would advertise that you can be with their pets a majority of the day while you work from home (obviously charge more for sits that require 24/7 care still). When I started wfh, I was able to raise my house sit rates and get more clients then ever because I could spend most of the day in their home. I agree with another commenter, take boarding and boarding related info off your profile. When I’ve looked for a sitter for my own pets, I’ve noticed most people who board say “I can’t spend the night but can do drop ins” or something so I no longer request those who board, I have had a few clients express the same issues with boarders always having a client so rarely being available for overnights at clients home. Good things to include in your bio for house sitting is availability if you do hybrid at all. How often/long clients can expect you to be gone, a typical schedule, and something like “I like to keep a clean environment and will ensure you return home to a clean home” In my profile I split my availability like below: Housesits: During a housesit, We can stay in your home overnight, unless an alternative arrangement is discussed beforehand! Solomons internship is WFH Monday-Friday and Emily has the entire summer off from school. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. We take the time to learn your dog’s habits, energy level, and preferences—whether that means early morning walks, a specific feeding schedule, or quiet time in the evening. We are respectful of your home, keep things clean and organized, and always leave it how we found it. We will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Our goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and completely at home—even when you’re not.

About: I've had an outdoor sometimes in door cat and shihtzu when I was a kid. Recently I have helped healed my dog's vision with diligent administration of eye drops. I've cared for multiple dogs on ocassion and can stay the whole week. Walking dogs, or feeding pets first thing in the day are what get me up in the morning. I also work out throughout the week so I can include that activity to include the pets. I adhere to schedule and boundaries. I understand that the specific instructions are to make sure the pet is cared the way it needs to be.

“Candice did a very nice job house/dog sitting for 10 days. Everything was well attended and the dogs were happy and healthy. Despite a massive wind storm on the first day that took down a major part of a large tree and knocked out the electricity for 4 hours, Candice communicated with us and managed what might have been a very difficult time. We would definitely have her come again.”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I have also volunteered with local shelters for many years. I am always thrilled when friends and family ask me to help out with their pets because dogs are the real happiness in the world. I have a very flexible schedule so I can offer my services at pretty much any point during the day. I have open availability throughout the week. I have a black lab/Great Pyrenees mix so I definitely love big dogs. My girl loves other dogs and we typically do walks around town at least 3 times per day. I try to keep both myself and my dog in decent shape so we can do as long a walk as she wants to do.

“Very pleased with our experience. Very loving environment. Hope you will consider watching Hannah again soon. Thank you very much❗️”
