House Sitting Simmons Gap

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. My pets are like my children, and I will care for your pets the same way. I will give your pets a lot of attention by playing with them, petting them, and giving them cuddles. I will follow the owner's instructions on feeding your pet, clean up after them, and can administer meds as needed. I am available for drop-ins and dog walking three times a day. I am available for overnight care. I am a homemaker and available during the day, evening, and overnight. I have a flexible schedule. I am not able to board pets in my home at this time. I can do drop in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. I will care for your pets like my own. I will keep them safe. You can depend on me to treat your pets well. I look forward to caring for your pet. If I am staying in your home, I will keep your home tidy and clean.

About: I've had a dog since I was ten, and today three cats and a dog share my home right alongside me. Living with four animals under one roof means I know their routines, their moods, and their quirks by heart, and I understand exactly how much it matters to trust the right person with something that personal. That same instinct shows up in how I work. I'm a checklist person by nature: feeding times, routines, and quirks followed exactly as given, and you'll get daily photos and videos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I'm a college student with mostly online classes, so my schedule bends around your pet instead of the other way around. I'm free for house sitting stays and drop-in visits any day of the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I confirm bookings a few days ahead so you know I'm locked in well before you leave. No shift to clock into, no class to rush home for, just consistent, dependable time for whatever your pet actually needs. I offer house sitting and drop-in visits, which means your pet never has to leave home, no new house, no new animals, nothing unfamiliar on top of you already being away. I stick to their existing feeding, walk, and routine schedule exactly as you've set it, and keep the house locked up and lived-in while you're gone. I come to your pet's world instead of asking your pet to adjust to mine, giving them my full, undivided attention until you're back.

About: Since I’ve been living on my own, I’ve had 3 dogs. Three Golden Retrievers over the last 30+ years. They are the best animals and I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. I can take care of animals Friday nights and all day Saturday and Sunday. I am available to stay over to watch animals on Friday and Saturday nights. I can come by houses to walk dogs or feed animals anytime after 5:30 during the week from Monday to Friday. I will come to your house and walk dogs, feed animals, and even clean litter boxes if needed during the work week. On Friday and Saturday nights, I can stay over.

About: I absolutely love animals and have had them through out my entire life. I have experience from working at “Dogtopia” to “Home away from home, dog boarding”. I understand the importance of family and would love to be your dogs next best friend! I have experience providing care for a variety of animals, including feeding, grooming, and monitoring health. I am familiar with cleaning and sanitizing animal housing and equipment, and can recognize signs of illness or distress. By feeding, walks, and playtime—with my personal habits like breakfast, exercise, and evening relaxation it helps to create a consistent, healthy routine. My successful routine with my 12 year old senior terrier includes early morning engagement to set a positive tone, scheduled midday breaks or mental stimulation to combat boredom, and structured evening bonding that eases stress. I have a 12 year old friendly Emotional support animal named Flower, who still loves to run and play. I also live close to the park, and have a crate if needed.

“Tiffanie was great. Even though last minute, she came to meet the dogs before her stay. She took great care of them, sent lots of pictures, was very communicative-commenting on each dog’s personality so you know that she’s spending time with them, and left our house in perfect condition.”

“Megan was spectacular, stepping in with very short notice to dog sit my puppy for a week when my original sitter canceled a few days before I left. She took very good care of my dog a provided some very cute photos of the fun they were having”

About: New to Rover, but experienced 5-star house sitters on TrustedHousesitters. My husband Mikhail and I are a married couple based in Charlottesville. I teach high school math online, and Mikhail holds a PhD in Materials Science. We have flexible schedules and spend much of our time at home, which means pets in our care receive plenty of companionship, attention, and consistency throughout the day. Over the past year, we have completed successful house sits in multiple cities, caring for both cats and dogs while homeowners traveled. We have received wonderful reviews for our reliability, communication, and the care we provide to pets and homes. We are happy to share screenshots of our TrustedHousesitters reviews and references. One thing previous hosts often mention is how much attention we give their pets. We genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a cat who wants to sit on a lap all afternoon, a playful kitten who wants constant company, or a dog who loves walks and outdoor adventures, we adapt to their needs. We also understand that owners miss their pets while traveling. That’s why we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax and enjoy your trip knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. We treat every home with the same care and respect we would want for our own, and our goal is simple: to make your time away completely worry-free. I teach high school math online and currently have a very flexible schedule, especially during the summer. My husband, Mikhail, is currently focusing on pet sitting full-time. Because of this, there is almost always someone at home to provide companionship, attention, walks, potty breaks, and care throughout the day. We are able to easily accommodate feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication schedules, and other pet-specific needs. Pets in our care are rarely left alone for extended periods of time. For house sitting, we believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their own home and maintain their normal routine. We take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and personality so we can provide care that feels familiar and comfortable. We follow feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. We spend a lot of time at home, so pets receive plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We also understand how important communication is while you’re away. We provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing and enjoy your trip with peace of mind. In addition to caring for pets, we treat every home with respect and care, keeping it clean, secure, and well maintained while its owners are away.

“Robert was great! He was very attentive to my pets. He responded promptly to any correspondence and engaged with both my cat and dog. I really appreciate the time he spent and the care he provided with both of my pets!”

About: I’m a genuine dog lover who enjoys caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether you’re busy, traveling, or just need an extra hand, I’m happy to help give your dog the love and attention they deserve. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I truly enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

My goal is to help others feel at ease knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. I work at home so I do 24/7 care. My world is surrounded with dogs, I just love them so I work with them and everyday it's a blast. I have a wonderful 2 acre backyard that's fenced for my fuzzy guests to stretch their legs and enjoy a park all to themselves. I spend my hours outside working on little projects so your baby's will get to just relax or play to their heart's content and then after a long day I like to end it with cuddles and movie on the couch.

I understand that different pets have unique needs. My dog Ruby has severe separation anxiety and I provide her comfort, patience, and security during her flare ups. I’m committed to following your instructions closely so your pet receives the same love and care they’re used to at home. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family!

When caring for your pet I will: - Give adequate potty breaks throughout the day. - Follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. -Keep litter boxes, food bowls, and water bowls clean. -Take your dog on walks (if requested). - Send regular photo and video updates so you know how your pet is doing. -Treat your home with respect by keeping it clean, locking doors and windows, bringing in packages if requested, and following any household instructions you leave. -Most importantly, make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable until you return home!
