House Sitting in Shorewood Hills

“Once again, Jesse is incredible with our pets. She cares for them just like we would, and I couldn’t leave them with anything less than that level of love and care. Thank you Jesse for being awesome!”

“Allegra is a blessing to all dogs everywhere. If you and your dog have the opportunity to meet Allegra...do it. We left Arya overnight for the first time ever and couldn't have had a more pleasant experience. I hope that next time we go out of town Allegra is available.”

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Our pups were happy and calm when we returned home from a long afternoon/evening away. Tatyana definitely understands how to handle large, rambunctious (and love and adorable) dogs. She sent me pics throughout the evening as well, which was so lovely to receive.”

“Bob treated our cat like his own family member. Very kind, attentive, punctual, and provided consistent updates regarding our cat. Thankful to have a reliable house-sitter!”

About: I have always loved animals. I was the kid that would bring stray animals home asking my parents if I could keep them. I have always had dogs in my family homes. I graduated from Iowa State University with an Animal Science degree in May of 2016. I have dog sat for other families in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area. I honestly love dog sitting and I have even taken care of some turtles and tortoises. I don’t really think of pet sitting as a job, but rather an opportunity to provide a safe and loving environment for your family pets while you are on vacation or if you have other obligations. I know how difficult it is to find someone who cares for your animals as you do, and I would truly love to be that person.

“Kaitlyn was great with the dogs right from the meet and greet. She handled their different personalities and medical needs perfectly. She did all that was asked and more. Thank you for allowing me the peace of mind to enjoy this week with friends!!”

“Anna did a great job with our dog Oscar! Anna took him on multiple walks and was excellent with updates and sending photos. We will most definitely use Anna again!”

Don W.

“Sidney was amazing! She sent me pics and updates of my pup and took great care of him while I was away, I would 100% recommend her!!”

Hannah M.

“Louis and her family took good care of my dog. He seemed very happy the entire time and enjoyed their company. She made sure to send lots of pictures and check in too.”

Jessie A.

“Maureen left our pup and house better than when we headed off for vacation. Great communication — responsive, but also gave us space to focus on our trip. I recommend her.”

Raphaella F.

“Sophie was great with our Brittany and Lab. We had to book something last minute and she responded right away with her availability. Showed up on time and gave good updates with pictures of how the night was going with the dogs. We have a Brittany that has horrible separation anxiety. She did very well with Sophie after only meeting her for 5 minutes before we had to leave. I would recommend her to anyone needing a good dog sitter.”

David P.

“It was so nice to know we had a reliable, kind and experienced pet sitter! Amy took care of our two dogs, cat, and gecko and sent great pictures during her stay. We were lucky to have her!”

Beth R.

“Ray is amazing! Any fur baby would be lucky to have her as a sitter. Our senior pup, Ralphie, fell in love with her! She lovingly cared for him and even sent us updates and photos while we were away. She was very professional and we would never hesitate leaving our dog with her again!”

Colleen Q.

“Ruby was very accommodating for some last minute schedule changes that occurred on my end for a weekend away! My dog and I appreciate her so much!”

Alex S.

“Nate did an excellent job watching our pup while we were gone for a week. He was patient and affectionate with her and took her with him when he went out and about. He even was cool with starting super early in the morning and finishing late at night! We’ll definitely be calling on him again.”

Ravelle R.

“We (and our dogs) loved having Nicole sit for us. She is an excellent communicator and took care of our pups like they were her own. I’d absolutely have her stay with our dogs again—and based on their lukewarm reaction to us coming home, I think they’d like to see her again too. 🤣”

Kim B.

“Katie took excellent care of our dogs and our home. We felt very comfortable with her and the dogs took to her right away. She took them for walks and sent pictures too! Thank you Katie!”

About: Hi all, my name is Alina and I’m new to Rover :). I have been a reliable dog/cat sitter for family, friends, and co-workers for a few years. I am a respectful, friendly, animal-loving soul that is free all summer to care for pets and make them feel safe and happy! I am starting medical school in the fall so I am excited to get some time with furry friends this summer. I love getting animals outside for walks and playtime. I am happy to work with pets of all ages. I am not working any particular job this summer other than pet-sitting. With this, my schedule is very flexible and I’m available just about any day of the week/weekends except a few select dates. I’m happy to work early mornings and late nights too if needed. At my client’s home, I care for pets by following their feeding routine, brushing their fur, and incorporating lots of playtime and exercise. While I haven’t been previously asked, I would also be happy to bathe pets if requested!

“Julia was so pleasant and professional! She asked great questions to prepare for her time with Princeton, and you could tell she really cared - Princeton warmed up to her immediately :) I highly recommend Julia and would definitely hire her again!”

“Mia was wonderful house sitting with my dog - he was happy and well cared for, she was great about communication, and the house looked wonderful when I returned. Will definitely book Mia again!”
