House Sitting in Sherwood Forest

“As always, Nancy did an excellent job caring for Otis while we were on vacation! Kept us updated with pictures and communicated as often as needed. I love how Otis greets her like family now and was so happy to see her when she arrived! We are so happy to have found her!”

“Katelyn was wonderful to work with! We felt comfortable that our pup was in good hands while we were away. She sent us photos and updates daily! She took our active dog on walks and played with her! She was very professional and went above and beyond for us to return to a clean house!”

About: I started taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs after retiring in 2024. My lifelong love for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes is now my daily passion! As an active retiree, I don't have any pets currently, and the house is empty and waiting for my next furry friend! I've cared for everything from dachshunds to a Bernese Mountain Dog. I love cats, but I want to watch them in your home, not mine. Happy to house-sit, work overnight shifts, and care for senior dogs and puppies. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have miles of walking trails and parks in the community, as well as an electronic fence for any dogs that need unrestricted access to a yard. I am fully retired and spend my days caring for your pets. Rarely will your important pet be left alone, if at all. I used Rover with my senior dog, Tucker, for over 5 years and met some wonderful people. It was a relief to me when I traveled, knowing my best friend was also enjoying his time in a safe, loving home. Now I meet new animal friends every week, and it feeds my soul and theirs. Your fur baby will have a dedicated sleeping space, feeding space, and unlimited access to our yard, depending on your needs. Full access to the entire house. I encourage you to bring toys, pet beds, crates, and any other items that will make your cherished pet comfortable. We are comfortable giving medication to older dogs, working with young puppies, and customizing our days to fit your pet's regular routines (such as walks, feeding, medication, and brushing). We have access to a private dog park, but we only go there after discussing it with you in advance. Note: we have an unfenced yard but use sound/ vibration to alert your pup if s/he is trying to escape. No electricity involved, just moderate stimulation. Most dogs learn the boundaries very quickly and without any discomfort.

“Viginia was excellent! She is very punctual, commincates well, and most importantly she took great care of our dog and our house. Will definitely use her services again.”

“Morgan was exceptional from start to finish. Wrigley was lovingly cared for, and I appreciated receiving regular updates and photos. My apartment was left spotless, and my tomato plants were watered, just as I requested. I felt completely secure having Morgan stay at my place and look after everything. As someone who tends to get nervous leaving my cat with new people, Morgan's kindness and professionalism truly eased my concerns, and she did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Morgan to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Dayton is the dog sitter and person we have been hoping for and waiting for. She arrived right on time, and immediately connected with Tuli our German Shepherd. IYKYK how loud and scary a German Shepherd's bark can be when someone new arrives in her/our domain. Dayton was nonplussed, and Tuli felt totally comfortable with her instantaneously. Additionally, Dayton is a very kind, caring person and someone we will from now on ask to care for Tuli.”

About: I enjoy having a couple dogs with my little dog in our house. We have a sweet little home in downtown Grass Valley and a great yard. We're right next to memorial Park and we go for walks around town. I'm usually at home spendimg most of my time with my fur family. Gardening and neighborhood walks are what we enjoy the most when not traveling. We have a very calm and easy lifestyle. It's just myself and my 13-year-old terrier mix. We enjoy having another dog or two in the house and going for dog walks. We eat healthy as I fix Coco her own pup loaf

“I can definitely say that after being gone for eight days I was very appreciative for what I came back to. I've had my challenges with the dogs so for someone to come in a take over for a week seemed a little daunting however Yolanda came through with 5 stars... I have no doubt the dogs were well taken care of as all instructions left were meticulously followed and the dogs were definitely well cared for not to mention the house was cleaner then I left it. There's nothing better then coming back from a vacation with well taken care of dogs. Would definitely recommend for worry free dog sitting”

“Carly was a more than exceptional pet sitter! She had such a calm, kind demeanor and asked great introduction questions. My three dogs are a bit anxious so it was a gift to have someone like Carly watching them when we were away. She gave us frequent updates and pictures of how the pups were doing and they looked so happy in each photo. Carly is a must for anyone who wants to be certain that their pets are being looked after with the utmost care. Would highly recommend her services and we definitely will be using them again ourselves! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Sammi S.

“Majesty was really fantastic with our pets and home. They took great care of everything and also helped us handle a really difficult situation while we were away. I would absolutely hire them again and would recommend them to others!”

“Alex is trustworthy, kind and thorough. She took excellent care of my two dogs, including my high maintenance 14 year old. I’m so happy I found her on Rover! Thank you Alex and thank you River.”

Jessica L.

“Jessica was AWESOME! Typically, our pets are crying at the door when we come home because they missed us so much. But after Jessica watched them for a week, they seemed like they barely knew we were gone! She left the house in immaculate shape, the dog and cat were happy and healthy, and she was incredibly communicative throughout watching them. Will definitely ask her to watch them again- thanks Jessica!!”

About: I got my first dog when I was six, and growing up he was my best friend. I also had lizards, birds, fish, frogs, hamsters, and cats! Ever since then, I have always been passionate about helping dogs and other animals. I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all sizes and ages, and now I want to make this passion my work. My favorite part about taking care of dogs is walking them. I have a Border Collie and know how to handle hyper and active dogs. I have experience taking care of disabled pets as well- I had a small dog that used a wheel chair for years and lived a happy life. All of my friends and family call me first when in need of a pet sitter because they know I'm capable and that I truly care. Whether you need walking, bathing, feeding, or someone to assist with your special needs pet, I have done it all and would love to help! I am available to walk your dog and take care of your pets any day of the week. So send me a message and I will respond quickly! First, I ask pet owners if there are any requirements or concerns to be aware of when I am entering their home to care for their pet. In addition, I always like to know what treats or activities their pets enjoy. For example, during an appointment, I will often greet pets with their favorite treat, check if they need water, take care of any potty or medical needs, and stimulate them with their favorite activity! Before leaving, I make sure I have performed all required tasks requested by the client.
