House Sitting Southside

“Leanne is the best. Makes me feel very secure leaving my precious baby with her. She leaves everything exactly like you left it…I can’t even tell she’s been here. You will never regret leaving your babies in her hands.”

About: There hasn’t even been a time in my life where I haven’t been surrounded by animals. I grew up on a farm with mostly dogs, but also chickens, a pony, goats, bunnies, cats, and turkeys. I love them all! I work every other week with my full time position so on my off weeks I am looking for something to do that I know I’ll enjoy and animals are a huge joy in my life. I’d love to take stress off a pet parent in knowing who is taking care of their babies is truly loving on them. I personally won’t be keeping animals at my own home, but will do whatever is needed at the clients home for their baby. I am super organized, detail oriented, and reliable.

“Melissa is amazing! She stayed with my pup who required extra attention due to his separation anxiety and he’s grieving the loss of his sister of all 11 years of his life. She provided lots of updates during her stay and lots of pictures. Walker looked happy and extremely well cared for in every single one. I was very anxious about leaving him since he required extra attention and is on some new meds but Melissa was wonderful and I never wondered for a second how things were going while I was away. I know we have a new friend who we will rebook with any time. Thank you, Melissa!!”

“Audrey is incredible! She is very communicative and we know we have absolutely nothing to worry about when she watches our dog! We highly recommend Audrey!”

“Elyssa did an amazing job with my fur babies. My dog even needed to go to the vet while I was gone, and she worked with me to get her seen and cared for asap. I'll definitely rebook her whenever I travel and would recommend her!”

Emily H.

“Paige was wonderful. She was very flexible, responsive, and accommodating. Our dog was more nervous having someone stay at our house than we imagined he would be, and Paige handled it so well and was very patient with him. She got him to walk and eat, and made sure he took his medicine. I would highly recommend Paige!”

“We’ve used Sophie several times to watch our boy while we’re out of town. She takes excellent care of him and always keeps us updated on how he’s doing while we’re gone. We never have to worry about a thing. We highly recommend her for any of your pet’s needs!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and truly love being around them. I have experience training puppies and dogs, and I’m happy to reinforce good habits and work on training while your dog is in my care. I’m also very active and will match your dog’s energy - whether that means long walks, plenty of playtime, or a more relaxed day. I live in a walkable, very dog-friendly area, so getting outside is easy and enjoyable. Most importantly, I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I will generally be hosting dogs over the weekend, where I can be with them consistently. I have flexibility to work from home on certain days and would plan to host on those days. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I ensure sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime while also keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any training or house rules you’d like reinforced. In my home, dogs get lots of opportunities for walks and play in a safe environment, along with plenty of downtime and cuddles. I’ll also send frequent photo and video updates so you can see how your dog is doing and feel connected while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home - and for you to have complete peace of mind.

“Jackson was very nice, followed our directions, and all the dogs were looking happy while in his care!”

Caitlin S.

“Jericho was great! She sent updates and photos regularly. My sweet boy was happy and relaxed when I returned home and the house as left in good shape. Will book again!”

Michelle K.

“Kelly did a great job watching my normally anxious pup! She sent plenty of updates and pictures, and even washed my bedding so it would be fresh for me when I got home. I will definitely book Kelly to watch my dog for future trips!”

Marlow A.

“Five stars! Allison is wonderful! We are so happy we found her. She is great at communicating with us and takes great care of our dogs. She's also been really flexible with last minute changes. A++++!”

About: I grew up with 3 cats, and a rescue dog since I was a baby, and my grandfather was a veterinarian, so I have grown up around animals my whole life! I ran a bed and breakfast for 8 years with 10 cats, dogs, ducks, and chickens, and indoor finches. I cared for them all, especially when the owners were away. I have experience in senior cat care (one cat lived to be 24!) I have some experience in administering medication and pills. (Insulin shots, hiding pills in meals/treats, etc) During the weekdays, I am available to check in around lunch time, and again after I get off work (at 4:30) One the weekends, I do have more flexibility, so let’s chat and see what might work best for you and your pet! I want to make sure your pet is comfortable with me, a stranger, in their own home and recognize that some animals take longer to warm up than others. I would love to discuss beforehand how your pet reacts, and if a meet and greet with you present would be helpful and/or necessary! For the shy ones, I do my best to read their body language and give them space, until they feel more comfortable around me. For the ones that are excited right off the bat, love that!! I’ll make sure they get some outdoor time, quality time, lots of pets and a treat or two, if that’s allowed. :)

“Paula was fabulous! She took such great care of our boys and left everything so clean! We can’t wait to have her hangout with the boys again in the future!”

Colleen A.

“Makayla did an amazing job with my boys. I would highly recommend her!”

Cristi F.

“Sydney is a great sitter! My guy was so calm when I got home and seemed well-adjusted. She provided photos and updates while I was away, and she was accommodating when my flight was canceled and I needed additional care for McGee. We would definitely book her again!”

Addison Grace H.

“Emily was very friendly! Our dog Skipper instantly liked her. She took a few pictures during their time together to let me know all was well. I felt very comfortable leaving Skipper with her. He had a great day!”

Tammy R.

“We had a wonderful experience with Emily as our dog and house sitter this past weekend. She took great care of both our energetic puppy and our older dog, which is no small task since they have very different needs and routines. Emily was attentive, responsible, and clearly very comfortable with dogs of all ages. She made sure they were well cared for, exercised, and loved while we were away, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Our home was also well taken care of, and everything was just as we left it when we returned. It’s clear that Emily genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet and house sitter.”

“Caroline was amazing! She stayed with Remi for a week and provided great care. We came home to a clean house and happy dog! We will definitely book again for future trips!”

“Joe was the best Dogsitter I have ever had. He was extremely accommodating. Not only did he respond immediately to my short notice request but he even took time during his lunch break to meet my dog. Furthermore he was flexible with coming back for nearly the whole next day! You can tell he genuinely loves animals and it’s why he’s more affordable than everyone else on rover.”
