House Sitting in Subletts

“Sara was very responsible and loving to my great Dane and spent a lot of time with her sent me pictures and kept me posted. I would highly recommend her to sit with your animals.”

About: My love for animals started early — when my family adopted our dog during my third-grade year, I took on real responsibility right away, handling his feedings and nightly walks. That hands-on care grew into a genuine passion that has only deepened over the years. Beyond dogs, I've developed experience with a range of animals, including goats, sheep, pigs, and horses, giving me a well-rounded foundation for handling pets of all personalities and needs. I'm currently studying biology and wildlife conservation at William & Mary, so animal welfare isn't just something I care about — it's what I've built my academic life around. I connect quickly with animals, take their comfort seriously, and will treat every pet in my care with the same patience and attentiveness I'd want for my own. You can feel confident leaving your furry family member in good hands! I'm home for the summer from college and have a very flexible schedule, making me available for bookings on short notice. I may be taking on part-time work as the summer progresses, but I'll always keep my Rover calendar up to date so you know exactly when I'm available. Your instructions are my playbook — I follow them closely and don't cut corners, whether it's feeding schedules, medication routines, or house rules for your pet. I'm naturally observant and attentive, so I stay tuned in to your pet's behavior and body language throughout every visit, picking up on cues that they might need something before it becomes an issue. Your pet's comfort and safety in their own environment is always the priority.

“Collete was great with our three clingy dogs, was regularly in contact, and left our home in great shape. Will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Very friendly and responsible. She took great care of my pupper and was very communicative. Would definitely work with Mary again 😊”

Becka H.

“Brittney was amazing! Took great care of both the doggies and showed them so much love. She was very attentive and would send updates frequently. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Mark was incredible…he did overnight stays with our 11 year old blind, deaf pup without any hesitation. He is a great communicator and left the house in perfect condition. As this was a new arrangement, he asked questions to make sure something wasn’t out of the ordinary for our extraordinary pup, which I appreciate as he has truly had only 1 sitter in nearly 11 years! I cannot recommend him enough and we are actively booking out the rest of the year with him!”

“Carolyn was wonderful. She took good care of Charlie and was careful to follow instructions including administering medicine and following physical therapy instructions. She left the house very clean and orderly. We would love to use her again.”

Becky W.

“I would without a doubt reach out to Randi in hopes of her being available to dog sit Ruby again and highly recommend her services!! The house was super clean and loved getting pictures while we were gone. Thank you so much!!”

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was a kid, I have been house sitting for 3 years now. I would love the opportunity to take care of your animals! Please feel free to reach out if there’s any questions. I currently don’t have a job and will be going to bright point in the fall. I will be free to work with y’all’s animals whenever. And will have class for 2 hours a day so your animals wouldn’t be left long!! I would love to feed and give your animals water, and I would take them to the bathroom every 3 hours!! Your animals won’t be left for long, and I would love to have someone I have house sitting before talk to you so you can hear from them what great work I do!!

“Lindy was amazing! They gave us great updates every day on how Laika was doing, and what they were up to everyday. And lots of adorable pictures in which it was clear Laika was having a great time with them. Highly recommend!”

Samuel S.

“Kim is amazing. We are so glad we found someone that we feel so comfortable with taking care of our fur babies. Not only did she take very good care of both of our pups, she also took great care of our home while we were gone. Kim is very kind, professional and you can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does. We are excited to have her take care of our dogs in the future!”

Kelsey E.

“McKenzie is a pro - very responsive, excellent communication and a great caregiver to our Stella - she goes the extra mile to ensure comfort for your pet and takes great care of your home when sitting. Could not recommend her more.”

Michael H.

“Wesley was wonderful! Super responsive, communicative, and confident with our fur crew from the start. Our dogs can be pretty high energy, but Wesley handled them with patience and clear commands. We’ll definitely be booking with Wesley again!”

Morgan & Jarrett C.

“Riley took excellent care of my 3 senior dogs, all 3 on meds, including 1 that is diabetic and needed blood glucose monitoring and insulin shots. I was thrilled to find someone with experience with diabetes. Thanks Riley!”

Emily H.

“Paula was outstanding she caught on to Gracie’s tricks right away and it was obvious when we returned they had bonded well. Punctually is certainly her forte, outstanding job.”

Robert P.

“Hannah was a wonderful and caring pet sitter/house sitter. We have a much older dog that requires some medical needs and Hannah put us at ease that he would be cared for while we were away. Hannah communicated multiple times a day, sent pictures and asked questions if she was concerned about our dog's behavior. Hannah was very respectful of our home while she stayed. We were able to enjoy time away thanks to Hannah's care of our dog. We will definitely rebook with Hannah!”

“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.”

About: Every dog, cat, and critter gets my full attention, patience, and genuinely endless affection. Your pet will be in hands that actually care, not just someone checking a box. I pay keen attention to their needs, wait patiently for pets to trust me, and show up exactly when I say I will. I'm a law student heading into my second year of school and I have flexibility this summer for regular visits or last-minute help. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and new clients and I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I pay close attention to each animal's cues, take the time to build genuine trust, and am someone you can count on — on time, every time. While I don't have pets of my own right now, I'm surrounded by them constantly and there is honestly nowhere I'd rather be. My schedule is flexible. If it works for you, it works for me. Above all else, I believe communication and timeliness are everything. You'll always hear from me promptly, whether it is confirming a booking, giving an update mid-visit, or letting you know about anything unexpected. No guessing, no chasing me down, just reliable, responsive care you can count on. When I'm in your home, your pet's comfort and routine come first. I follow your instructions closely including feeding schedules, walking routes, any quirks or preferences because familiarity and consistency are what keep animals calm and happy in their parents absence. I treat every home with the same care and respect I'd want shown in my own, and I'm always in close communication so you're never left wondering how things are going. Further, I know that inviting someone new into your home and trusting them with your pets is a big deal, please be assured I'm direct, honest, and an open book.

“Allison did a great job housesitting with my cat Annie! She gave her lots of attention and sent me daily updates and pictures/videos. I would recommend Allison and book with her again.”
