House Sitting in Sky Valley

“Elaine is SO WONDERFUL! I can’t recommend her enough. This was our first trip using Rover and we were very nervous about leaving our precious doggies under a stranger’s care, but when Elaine came for a meet & greet a few days before we left, it was clear she was no stranger… she was Auntie Elaine immediately! Roxy and Sadie were instant fans. Our chihuahua Maxine wasn’t as sure (chihuahuas, you know?), but after we left, Maxine decided she liked Auntie Elaine too. Elaine sent us photos and reports every day, which were a delight to read. We hadn’t ever been away from our babies for this long, so the updates were so helpful. Roxy, our senior dog, developed a balance issue (not anything related to Elaine, just senior dog stuff) and Elaine took her to our vet and got her checked out, updating us the whole time. (Roxy’s fine, just a little tilty) Definitely the right call to get her checked out! I can’t recommend Auntie Elaine highly enough. Three dogs and two humans agree! ?”

“Tony was an absolute lifesaver! During our visit to Palm Springs for Pride weekend, we initially booked him for an in-home sitting with about an hour's notice for our 1-year-old Bedlington Terrier, Oliver. When our plans changed last minute, Tony didn’t miss a beat—he offered to pick up Oliver himself. We decided to have him come to our hotel instead, and with just 30 minutes’ notice, he arrived promptly and stayed with Oliver from 10 PM to 3:30 AM. Oliver had a fantastic time with him, and throughout the night, Tony sent us tons of pictures and updates, which really put our minds at ease. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We'll definitely hire him again when we're in town!”

“Justin did great with my 13 year old blind and deaf Shih Tzu. Because of my fur baby’s condition, he has special needs to make sure he stays safe and secure. Justin was attentive to his needs, provided me with regular updates, and was very communicative with scheduling and coordination.”

“Rhondee is fantastic and trustworthy! She is very respectful of our house and property. She always arrived on time and followed through on everything we asked. House was left in the same condition as when we left. Dogs and cat were well-cared for; we were delighted with our choice in Rhondee. She did great by us. Certainly reasonable; did not take advantage of the holidays for house sitting.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own chihuahua since I was 12, but since moving to the US I couldn’t have any pets at home due to family member’s preference, I would love to have the chance to care for other people’s dogs! I’m currently staying at home growing my small business, and I have taekwondo classes every Monday and Wednesday at 6pm. On my free days I’m able to commit to caring for pets, but will not be available from 6PM onwards. I love being around dogs very much, and really love taking care of them, I’m very hands on with my past chihuahuas and love cuddling them so much.

“Erika did a great job with my dogs! They were well taken care of and the house looked terrific ! She sitter goes beyond. Definitely recommend!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs and keeping pets on their regular routines. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.

About: I have hands-on experience providing reliable, loving care for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic care routines, and maintaining a safe, calm environment. I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and emotional well-being, treating every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive to behavior cues, patient with all temperaments, and committed to keeping pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a consistent responsibility that I plan around other commitments. On a daily basis, I incorporate feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins into structured time blocks to ensure pets stay on their normal schedule. Weekly, I schedule pet sitting jobs in advance, allowing time for longer stays, exercise, and maintaining routines like grooming or medication if needed. I prioritize reliability and make sure each pet receives focused attention without rushing or overlap in care. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar, low-stress environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them consistent attention, affection, and supervision. I also keep their space clean, including litter boxes or outdoor areas, and ensure fresh water is always available. I respect the home by keeping it tidy and secure, and I provide updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

“Robert was great with our elderly dog who is both a picky eater and refuser of his medications. He was very patient, sending us frequent updates and we felt very comfortable that he would be able to handle any unforeseen issues. Robert has a calming energy, and our dog was definitely beginning to warm up to him after a few days together. We look forward to booking with Robert again soon :)”

“Samira took great care of our 14 year old dog with health problems, and our home while we were away on vacation. She is thoughtful and responsible. Will book with her again.”

“This was the second time we asked Renee to watch our Aussie shepherd, Oliver, while we were on vacation outside the country. He loves her and Renee really takes care of Oliver as we would. Before we even book a vacation, we check Renee's schedule and make sure she is available. We were really confident during our vacation that Oliver was receiving spa treatment at home and loving every second of it. We have known Renee for the last couple of years and we consider her a good friend. We trust her with our home and Oliver. Renee takes lots of photos and videos, so we get plenty of updates and feedback on the hour to hour activities of Oliver. We highly recommend Renee. She is the best.”

About: I’m a former dog groomer with hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. Over the years I’ve learned how to read canine body language closely and prioritize safety, calm handling, and trust-building with every dog I care for. I’m especially experienced with large breeds, high-energy dogs, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs that may be reactive, anxious, or slow to warm up. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, structure, and strong situational awareness during walks, introductions, and everyday care. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I currently do not work a traditional 9–5 schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent pet care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship while making each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently do not offer boarding services at my home. But I will be more than happy to watch your furry babies at your home =)

“Tanya watched our boys for 3 days and while they are good one is a very energetic 6 month old boxer. She sent us pictures every day and updated us on how they were doing. When we got home they were happy and healthy. I would use Tanya again and highly recommend her to others!”

“Barbara was fantastic with Brutus and Brighton. She sent lots of photos, was communicative, flexible when our schedules shifted, and a pleasure to trust in the home. Thanks, Barbara! We will book again soon.”
