House Sitting in Strafford

“First time using Rover and KayMaria was fantastic. I have one very social cat and one shy cat, and they both loved her. Shy cat didn’t run and hide like he does with most. I got daily updates with wonderful pictures and videos. It allowed me to enjoy my vacation a bit more knowing my cats were in great hands.”

About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake if your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed off from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.

“Gloria was amazing! She took great care of my pup and exercised him really well. I'd love to have her house sit for me again!”

“Kaya was great! Really appreciated her sitting Charlie whole I was at a two day conference! Would definitely have her sit again!”

Erin M.

“Olivia is amazing, took great care of our pets and provided updates and pictures while we were away. We would not hesitate to have her provide care for our animals again!”

“Suzanna was awesome!! She was so respectful of my dog, my house, property and everything that she totally put my mind at ease leaving town. My golden had special needs and he's a geriatric patient so I was very particular about his care-and she went above and beyond. She communicated well with me and sent me pictures. I can't thank her enough and will definitely hire her again should the need arise.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve never had a formal job with animals, but I’ve grown up around them and have helped with a myriad of different roles for friends, family, neighbors, etc. I have never met a dog or cat that I don’t love! I work full-time in Hanover from Monday through Friday. However, I am more than happy to fit in care before or after the work day. I am also available on weekends! My schedule is as follows: Monday: 9:30 am - 5:30 pm Tuesday: 8:30 am - 4:30/5:00 pm Wednesday: 7:30 am - 3:30 pm Thursday: 8:30 am - 4:30/5:00 pm Friday: 8:30 am - 4:30/5:00 pm I am a very thoughtful, caring, and detail-oriented person. I intend on listening to my clients’ desires and doing everything in my power to make sure the pet(s) receive everything they need!

“Ronan was an excellent communicator. From start to finish this was a smooth & pleasant experience. Odin (our dog) was in good spirits when we picked him up. He played well with Ronan's family dog, and must have had a calm and enjoyable overnight in their home, because he was calm and happy upon returning home. Thank you, Ronan!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, and snakes. Skills include elderly and disabled care for cats and dogs, grooming, playing, transportation, and some training. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I have lots of time to care for your pets! I can do overnight care on weekends, drop-off after 1pm Friday - Sunday. I have a fenced-in pen in my backyard with a dog and a bird. I have treats and shareable dog/cat toys. I tend to spend lots of time outside with dogs. I tend to meet cats where they’re at, using toys and treats for the shy ones.

“James is an awesome dog and house sitter! He took the dogs on great walks and sent us some adorable pictures while we were away. We came home to two happy, calm pups and a clean, orderly house. Highly recommend!”

Renee B.

“Outstanding! Luna, Lulu, & Phoebe loved Olivia. She was responsive, kind, gentle, and kept our house how we left it. She communicated with us every day and took pics of our fur-babies. We really enjoyed her and will use her again! Thanks Olivia! Woof woof!”

Kim L.

“We highly recommend Nicole. We had the absolute best experience with her and would 100% book her again. She has SO much dog knowledge and experience, and she knew just what to do to care for our 17.5 year-old geriatric Miniature Dachshund. Our dog was completely comfortable and happy with her, and she brought out the absolute best in our dog with both a stroller and regular walk. I can't rave enough about how happy we were with Nicole.”

Darlene F.

“Julia was great with my little cat — it was my first time leaving him for an extended period of time and she was great at keeping me updated with regular messages, photos, etc. Julia is a caring and detail-oriented pet-sitter. She left my cat happy and my home clean :)”

Safa J.

“Anna was great!! Our dog seemed comfortable with Anna and Starbuck from the onset! Pictures showed a happy dog and the house looked great when we got home. Looking forward to having Anna and Starbuck here for another stay!!”

Beverly D.

“Sue was communicative and it was obvious that our pup was well cared for in our absence. She left our home in great condition as well. We very much appreciate her calm presence, particularly with our anxious doodle. We would definitely book with Sue again in the future.”

Kristen B.

“THE BEST! Kelly was incredible and I can't recommend her more. We have an older dog who needs medication and attention, Kelly stayed at our house and took care of our Pup for over two weeks. She also took great care of the house and plants. If Kelly takes care of your beloved four-legged ones you and your dog are extremely lucky, she's the best! Thank you, Kelly!!!!!”

Lisa S.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.

“Gemma did a great job taking care of our dogs and cats. They seemed disappointed when we got home, I think they were hoping for Gemma.”

Pat P.

“Elise is perfect! Sweet dog loving person with a great personality. We appreciate that she was very patient and kind to our pups . Thank you so much Elise!”

Deborah C.

“Lisa and her partner were available last minute to stay at our home with our dog for a couple days. Our dog was immediately at ease with them and we enjoyed getting picture updates of happy snuggles, playtime, and walks. Great with communication and great with our pup - she was well cared for and relaxed and happy when we got home. All around a good experience!”
