House Sitting in Striebels Corner

“We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! From the very start, Lisa was incredibly personable and easy to communicate with. She spent quality time with our dog, not just checking in, but truly engaging and caring for our dog. It’s clear our dog absolutely loves Lisa—she’s quickly become our pup’s favorite! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter that will send photo updates and to the extra mile to make your dog happy and comfortable. We don’t have to worry when Lisa is there.”

“This was my first time using Rover.com. Our sitter Kae was wonderful with our two newly adopted dogs and sent us daily updates via photos and video. She had no problem watching out for our geese and feeding our wild birds. She provided us peace of mind, knowing someone dependable was watching our home.”

“Tom always does a wonderful job and we know our dogs and house are being well taken care of. We have used his services several times now and highly recommend him. We know we don't have to worry about our dogs and house when Tom is there.”

About: I love all animals! I have previously owned and trained a Belgian Malinois rescue and a lab/pit rescue. Both wonderful dogs. I am a navy vet, dog owner and dog lover. I use positive reinforcement training methods, and I know how to read the body languages of animals. I am respectful, neat, and I'll make sure you pet is well taken care of! I offer dog sitting, and occasional boarding services. You can rest easy with the knowledge that if you hire me, they will be my number one priority. I will communicate at least once a day, and more if requested. I live in an apartment and WFH full time, so I'll be able to provide ample attention to your dog! Not that they might need it because my puppy Orion will be begging them to play nonstop! I monitor play time continuously to make sure they get along well. Sometimes if a client's dog DOESN'T want to play I make sure Orion leaves them alone. He'll just be whining on the couch. No matter the size of your dog, I'll make sure they are safe and comfortable. Orion has had experience playing with 100lb German shepherds and snauzers to mini pinchers. He loves all dogs that will play with him.

“We have known Peggy in a business capacity for many years. When we found out she was dog sitting we immediately made her our primary sitter for our dog Shadow. He’s very anxious and has terrible separation anxiety. Peggy has been a tremendous surrogate mommy for him. She is the only person that we trust to stay in our home when we’re away on weekends or vacations. She has the highest level of integrity and is an amazing pet carer. She gets our highest recommendation.”

“Kate was wonderfully communicative and attentive to my cats! She provided pictures and frequent updates. Thank you!!”

“Natasha was wonderful! We met her first and knew right away she would take care of our pup with great care. While we were away, Natasha sent us daily notes and pictures of how Whisky was doing. Playing with her dog, Jasper, was an added bonus for Whisky! We will definitely be having Natasha come stay with Whisky again! Thank you Natasha! Our trip was worry free 😊”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. I have experience pet sitting, pet walking, and house sitting. Good with both small and large dogs of all kinds! Absolutely love animals and would love to hangout with yours!! I recently became a veteran off of active duty and looking for a fun part time job with dogs over the summer and possibly more months to follow. I love to walk during the summers and it would be even better with dogs! Always respect your home and furry family members. I have a black lab and miniature pinscher, so I have experience with both large and small dogs. Can bring own treats or other supplies if needed!

“Julianne was a great house sitter / pet sitter for our kitty. She cared for him during a nearly 3 week vacation in May 2024. She stayed in communication with us throughout the trip and always gave me a sense that our cat was cared for with affection and love. Took great care of our house and yard which doesn’t require a whole lot but was a comfort while we were away. I especially appreciated that Julianne is retired and could really spend most of her time here. Highly recommended!”

“Grateful for Emily who helped my cat cope while we were traveling. Although it took a while for my shy cat to get brave enough to interact, Emily was patient and kind.”

“Wyatt recently stayed with our two dogs and cat while we were away for a much needed overnight getaway. In advance of our trip, he came to our house for an extended meet and greet to meet everyone and give us the assurances we needed to leave our fur family in his care. The dogs, in particular, could not have been in better hands. Wyatt spent lots of time with them outside playing, gave them some special Frosty Paw treats on the warmest day, and even let them sleep in bed with him that night. He let us know when he arrived, communicated periodically throughout our trip, including sharing pictures, and left the house in great shape for our return. We will definitely be contacting Wyatt again for future pet/house sitting needs!”

About: With over 15 years of active pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring compassion, playful attentiveness, and calm confidence to every home I visit. In 2024, I spent four months road-tripping across the U.S., housesitting along the way and caring for 7 cats and 14 dogs in 10 households—ranging widely in breed, age, temperament, and needs. This experience left me especially comfortable quickly building trusting relationships with new animals and adapting to their individual personalities. I have extensive experience with medically complex pets, including administering pills and liquid medications, giving injections, and providing wound care. I understand the importance of consistent routines, detailed observation, and gentle handling when working with animals who require special attention. Whether caring for playful puppies, senior cats, or anything in between, I offer dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work four days a week, Thurs-Sun in the afternoon and evening. On work days, I am available in the morning and late-evening. Mon-Wed I have full availability for all types of care. I prioritize safety and active stimulation for my own pets and those I care for. In addition to maintaining feeding schedules and security, I make sure those animals in my care receive exercise and mental stimulation, depending on their needs.

“Sha took excellent care of our cats based on their specific needs and preferences, showered them with love, kept us informed twice daily and was impeccably kind and reliable in every single way. We were out of the country for a couple of weeks but thanks to Sha our hearts and minds were at ease all the while. We can't recommend Sha strongly enough, and will definitely provide repeat business whenever possible!”

About: I take care of our three dog, i make sure they have water and they are walked and they are clean, i also watched a puppy for a friend for a week and a half I love hanging out with any animal, they are so cute and cuddly, i couldn't imagine my life without any animals, they are a part of me I like to watch at the clients home, but if they need the dog out for the day i can take them to a dog park or if they don't get along with other dogs we can go to a park somewhere away

About: I have taken care of all types of animals since I was very small. I have experience with all types of barn yard animals, rodents, geckos, cats, dogs, fish, bugs, I’ve seen and taken care of it all. I have had many dogs and cats of all different sizes, temperaments, and breeds and just love anything to do with them. I am very experienced in all ages of care from young to senior and love to dote on any animal I meet. I am currently home for the summer from college, have no other job, and only need to leave the house to take care of my animals and complete my fitness plan for my college athletics in the fall. I will not need to be out of the house for more than 3 hours at a time so I can tend to the animals as much or as little as needed. :) I make sure to stick to whatever routine is set for the animals to the best of my ability as it is very important for their well being. I love to give ample amount of attention to animals that would like it, and plenty of space to those who don’t.

“Took amazing care of my dogs. Best Rover experience to date. Kris and Laura go above and beyond. My dogs absolutely loved them. Was able to enjoy my time away knowing such great people were taking care of them. Thank you!!”

“It was clear how much Christine cherished our pets - despite our dog being a true handful. She bought them new toys and communicated with us often. Providing crisp, clear instructions seemed to be helpful”

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my home and life. I’ve grown up with a wide range of dog breeds—from playful puppies to gentle seniors—and I’ve raised both a Standard Poodle and a Great Dane from the ground. As well as a precious Maine Coon kitty who I rescued! Over the years, I’ve provided trusted pet and house sitting for members of my community and church, building long-term relationships based on reliability and care. I treat every pet like family—with patience, respect, and lots of love. My approach to pet care combines years of hands-on experience with a natural intuition for animals’ needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine thanks to the flexibility of my regular job. I have the freedom to set my own hours, come and go as needed, and take time off when necessary—allowing me to prioritize your pet’s needs without conflict or compromise. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, extended stays, or last-minute requests, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care that works around your schedule and theirs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, respect their space, and give them plenty of attention and care based on their personality and needs. At home, I live with a well-trained Great Dane and an 8-year-old Maine Coon—both of whom I’ve raised since they were a puppy and kitten—so I’m very familiar with all stages of pet care, from playful beginnings to relaxed senior years. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and right at home—even my own!

“We are so lucky we found Elliot! We had a different in-house sitter cancel last minute for a long trip, so I reached out to Elliot. She came over the next day to meet our dog, Archie, and was good with him immediately. She was punctual and communicative. She took great care of Archie while we were gone. He is a generally anxious dog, and was super relaxed when we got home! Our house was also clean & tidy, she even washed the sheets on the guest bed. We look forward to working with Elliot again!”

“Great service. Watched our house and our pets for a week while we went out of state. Bethany texted us if there was anything unusual and we really appreciated it. Everything was left clean and tidy and our pets are healthy and happy. It’s all we could ask for. I would recommend Bethany for any pet sitting opportunity as well as housesitting.”
