House Sitting in Subletts

“McKenzie was amazing with our crew. Including keeping us up to date on one of our pups who has a medical issue that requires multiple medications and feeding times. It’s especially hard to leave a pet that isn’t feeling well by McKenzie did a great job. My little dog, who is a bit standoff-ish, let her pet her with a few minutes of meeting her. We hope to use her again!”

“Erika is phenomenal. We had some crazy things happen to our travel plans and she was so flexible and communicative. She left the house in better shape than when she got here and took incredible care of our pets. We will 1000% be rebooking with her.”

“Shula and Samuel watched our two hooligans while we were out of town for a long weekend. They went above and beyond again! They took great care of the house and most importantly, we came home to two happy and healthy doggos. My family and I cannot say enough great things about them!”

“Mandy is the best! She gets to know your dog and loves them according to their personality. She truly cares and sends in depth thoughtful updates so you know your best friend is well taken care of!”

“Kim was exceptional. I planned a vacation the week of July 4th, and my normal kennel was booked. I decided I would try Rover, but the first sitter unfortunately had to cancel. I was already super nervous about a stranger watching my babies, and with the cancelation I was even more nervous. I messaged Kim and she said she likes to have a meet and greet first to make sure we were all a good fit. I really liked this. When she came over, at no charge, my Butters was originally super territorial, even growling. Kim handled it very well though, and within minutes he was giving her kisses. Originally, I was only going to have her watch Butters, and have my mom watch my puppy Izzy as sometimes Butters gets too rough her. I myself get nervous when they play sometimes. She mentioned a few times she didn't mind watching and said she had experience with dogs that get aggressive with other dogs, so I decided to have her keep both dogs. While I was gone I got pictures everyday, and when I returned my usually anxious Butters seemed less anxious than normal. I couldn't have been happier. An added bonus was the house was much cleaner than it would have been had I been here myself all week! I will definately use Kim the next time I go away and can't bring the fur babies.”

“Mark did a great job taking care of my cats. He accepted my last minute request and then kindly adapted to the changes I made after he started. He sent me daily updates and photos, and even swept up the cat litter on the mat around the litter box on his last visit. I definitely plan on becoming a repeat client.”

“Chelsea stayed at our house with our cat Rascal for 10 days while we were out of the country. She was a great house guest and Rascal clearly warmed up to her given the photos of him snuggling on her lap. Definitely recommend her services!”

“Wesley was amazing. Kept in contact with us. Took amazing care of our pups. Let us know if any issues. She even got my little old pup to cuddle and that is rare. He really doesn’t like many people! She was amazing and we plan to use her again and again!!”

Mary B.

“Lucy adores Cailey and her husband and I know she’s being well-cared for when I leave her! I love the daily updates and pictures and will definitely use Cailey again (this was my second booking with her)!”

“Helena was everything we hoped for in a dog and house sitter. I appreciate so much all of the photos, the detailed updates on their time together, and how proactive Helena was with communicating. We cannot wait to be her repeat clients. If you want someone that you can trust that your dog will quickly be obsessed with, look no further. Seriously, thank you so much, Helena!”

About: Hi there! I’m Fabrizio, proud dog parent to Bruno, my 5-year-old buddy who taught me that every pup has their own personality and needs. Over the years I’ve also cared for the pets of friends and family — from playful puppies to older dogs that just need extra love and attention. I’m flexible, reliable, and love keeping owners updated with pics and messages. With me, every walk is an adventure and every cuddle feels like home. 🐾🐶 I work as an independent sports agent, which means most of my job is done from my phone and laptop. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust my day around walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, evenings, or even weekends, I can usually make it work. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find the perfect times to keep them happy and cared for. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. When I’m in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions carefully to make sure your pets feel comfortable and secure. I treat every house as if it were my own, with responsibility and care. On walks, I’m always alert to surroundings, traffic, and other animals. I keep dogs safely leashed, avoid risky situations, and make sure they get exercise in a fun but safe way. You can trust that your pets will always be in good hands with me.

“Audrey was a fantastic sitter and spent time with our pup after he had surgery. She was on time, super friendly and took great care of our dog. Will definitely plan to have her come sit again!”

“We highly recommend Riley. Our little Calli Has some anxiety issues, but she seemed to relax and accept Riley easily. She was in excellent spirits when we returned home, and was well cared for. Riley’s knowledge of pets and her love of them is obvious.”

“Heidi jumped in to save our trip just a week in advance, and took great care of our nervous puppy and sick older kitty, both of whom take medications. Our house was well taken care of and she brought our mail in too! Thanks Heidi!”

About: Hi, I'm Rebecca! I'm available to do walks, drop ins, or sitting. While I'm fun and relaxed in personality, I take responsibilities towards pets seriously. I care for them as I'd want mine cared for, with the general attitude that they're all someone's baby. I value clear communication on both ends, any helpful instructions from you, and knowing how you like things done. Every pet is different, and your personal requirements and preferences are important. More about me: I've lived with pets my whole life, and started helping with their care as soon as I was old enough. Dogs and cats were my first animals, and I've always loved having a dog for company while enjoying the outdoors and beautiful weather. I've walked and sat for dogs of friends and neighbors, and it's always been an enjoyable experience. I do have some experience with senior dogs, dogs who need medication, and I'm comfortable giving oral or topical meds. Taking care of puppies is also something I enjoy. I just ask for any special needs or training instructions to be clear and detailed so I can give the best care possible. Fun Fact: I actually completed a veterinary assistant certification course in Maryland many years ago. I never ended up with employment relevant to that, but the experience was worth it. The educational clinic hours were great for becoming more comfortable handling different breeds and sizes. I've been helping care for a family member at home, along with two cats, a tired older dog, and my three birds. My schedule is pretty flexible and open right now, and any questions are welcome. I care for pets according to the client's instructions and preferences. I'm able to care for pets in their own home, yard, and for walks.

“Madelyn is an excellent pet sitter!”

About: I walk my own dog for over an hour every day and know how much daily exercise means to a happy, healthy pup. This past summer, I had the rewarding experience of walking an elderly woman’s dog, which strengthened my commitment to treating every dog like my own. I’m passionate about dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I regularly visit Short Pump Dog Park to enjoy positive social time with other pups. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Now accepting evening & weekend bookings for small dogs. I bring years of personal and pet-sitting experience, a calm approach, and a focus on friendly, well-mannered pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, your dog will be cared for as if they were my own. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, attention, and affection. My focus is always on safety and comfort. I avoid distractions like phone use during walks (unless there’s an emergency) so your dog has my full attention. I follow owner instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, whether in my home or yours.
