House Sitting Skippers Corner

“I booked with Shayla very last minute to housesit for a quick overnight trip. Shayla being there put my mind at ease, and I appreciated her being able to help us out last minute like that.”

“I hired Caroline to petsit my dog Kobe for seven days. Kobe is special needs as he is four years old and was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of three. He takes anti-seizure meds throughout the day which is one of the reasons I work from home, and I am super overprotective of him. When we did our first meet-and-greet, Caroline came armed with a notepad and questions about Kobe, his likes, dislikes, and his habits. She wanted me to show her where everything was and was very mindful of every thing I told her concerning Kobe and his routine. She is a very kind young lady and seemingly loves animals. I have a camera and was able to check in on Caroline and Kobe throughout the 4.5 hours she'd be at my house. She is really responsive and good about letting me know when she arrives at the house, takes pictures throughout her shift, also videotapes her giving him his meds, and even proof of his poop events. All this is stuff she might have learned in her training with Rover, or just from her own experiences. I didn't ask for all that detail, but am not complaining to get the whole scoop on my dog while I am out. To pass the time while she sits my pooch, Caroline reads, writes, does stuff to keep herself occupied, even takes short naps with my dog, and I appreciate she feels comfortable enough in my home to be relaxed because our pets can sense those types of things. When Kobe first met Caroline he could not stop giving her kisses, and jumping up on her lap, he was so happy and excited he was crying he just could not contain his joy. Our pets are the ultimate judges, so I suggest you do a meet-and-greet with her and take it from there. Do I recommend her? Absolutely, as I will be using her again and again.”

“Sara was great. She was able to come meet Poppy prior to agreeing to the term to make sure both she and the pup would be comfortable. She gave regular updates and was accommodating to the nuances of our home and pup.”

About: I have worked with all types of animals since I was a child. My friends would call me the dog whisperer because I just understand them naturally! I love training dogs and horses. I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a flock of ducks! All of my dogs have been raised from puppies. I have cared for senior pets as well. I have spent hundreds of hours over the last several years educating myself on animal behavior for my own pets benefits so I am well equipped to love and care for yours as well! I have always been passionate about working with animals of all type. I will always go the extra mile to provide topnotch care and service. My husband and I travel often so I know how important it can be to find petcare that you can feel good about! I currently work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I am able to come to your house during the day or stay nights! I can offer limited boarding as well. I love animals and I love travel. I would be committed to caring for your pets as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know your pets as each one is so special. I am reliable and can accommodate just about any extra requests such as bathing, working on training skills, hiving medication, providing adequate excercise etc. I will ALWAYS do this with your pets safety and happiness as my top priority.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Sophia! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about our dogs. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away! We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book again!”

“Katie was fantastic!!! She was great with our dog Brady and he just loved her! She took him on walks every day and kept us updated (with pictures) while we were on our vacation... She looked after things at the house and left it as if she'd never been here! We've been home for a day now and Brady keeps looking for her to come back... We would recommend Katie highly to anyone looking for a house or dog sitter, or both... We will definitely plan to use her again and I'm sure that Brady can't wait!! 5 stars and A+++”

About: I grew up in a home with both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. When I was six years old, my parents gifted me a kitten named Sophia. She became my best friend and lived to be 20 years old before recently passing away from chronic kidney disease (CKD). Caring for Sophia throughout her life taught me a lot abt what cats need to thrive, including administering subcutaneous fluids and supporting a senior pet with medical needs. I also volunteer with a local cat rescue, where I spend time caring for cats and learning about their unique personalities and needs. Since Sophia’s passing, I’ve realized how much I miss having animals in my daily life. Pet sitting allows me to share that love and care with other people’s pets while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family members are in good hands. I’m currently working full time but available everyday after 3:30/4. With the schedule I have, it allows me to still devote time to caring for your fur babies! I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your pet so that you can enjoy your time away from home without anxiety!

“Lyndsay did a fabulous job making Finley comfortable and happy while we were gone. It was a last minute request and she was very communicative. I will request her again!”

“Michelle thank you very much!!! You was amazing today!! We appreciate how much you care about my boys. She is amazing 👏, very sweet and very attentive to my boys!! Highly recommend 👌”

Kelly C.

“Stella did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and we highly recommend you book with her! We recently went out of town and booked Stella to watch our dogs while we were away. She went above and beyond! She was able to handle our two huge dogs perfectly fine with no problem at all. She sent us picture updates each day while we were away, and even followed all of our very detailed instructions we left for our dogs. If you need someone who will do a great job, we highly recommend you book with Stella!”

Erica T.

“Abby was wonderful! We will definitely be using her as a house sitter again. She kept our fur babies happy while we were gone. She’s an excellent communicator and shared updates, pictures and videos with us regularly and reached out when she had questions. When we returned home everything was clean and in order which is always a huge plus when returning from a vacation.”

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs for years! I have three chihuahuas and a german shepard hound dog mix! What sets me apart is my dedication to anything I do. I can promise a safe and caring environment for your best friends! As well as someone who truly cares about giving people the best service possible. I am in school and work part time! However even if my availability doesn’t align with your needs, I might still be available! Due to Rover settings I cannot put in hourly settings, but I am available certain times that I cannot put in the app. I am currently looking for a part time job while I am enrolled in school, and want to do something I love as well ! I have a fenced in backyard, as well as a doggy door so they can have access 24/7! Additionally I have a large neighborhood to take any fur baby’s on walks.

“Marshall was absolutely fantastic with my reactive dog, Hayley! It’s clear he truly cares about animals and takes the responsibility seriously. He was proactive with communication, sending daily photos and updates that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Not only was Hayley happy and relaxed when we returned, but Marshall also left my place just as clean as I had left it! I will definitely be booking him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and tidy sitter!”

“Stephanie stayed overnight at our house with our two dogs and they loved every minute! They got extra snuggles and comfort during a thunderstorm. She’s definitely the best!”

“Grace was wonderful.”

Sharon V.

“My dogs love Neva and I knew they were happy and well cared for while my wife and I were gone. We received photos galore and detailed updates daily which reaffirmed that they were in good care. My dogs are Dalmatian and Catahoula hound and need lots of exercise or they tend to be mischievous when no one is around. Neva would take them running daily and send photos of them all tuckered out and asleep afterwards. Just what they needed. Thank you Neva for caring and loving my dogs.”

“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”

Brenda S.

“Haley did a great job taking care of our dogs for a week while we were out of town. She took them on several walks despite the Columbia heat in July. I could tell they were well loved from the pictures she sent while we were away. She also was very helpful with a water issue we had at the house while we were gone. Definitely would use her in the future!”
