“Emily was wonderful!! This was our first time leaving Ricky (a cat) home alone. I was worried he would be lonely or upset when we returned. He was happy everyday to see Emily and she sent me some great photos that captured Ricky's personality . Ricky was happy to see us and waiting by the back door to greet us when we got home. I highly recommend Emily she is a sweetheart!”
About: Dogs are our family, and I understand that small breeds have their own quirks and attention needed. I have been a small dog owner for over a decade and have experience with administering medication. I have a highly flexible schedule because I am retired from the Air Force. Your dog will receive my undivided attention because I only accept one client at a time. I promise that In terms of walks, feedings, and playtime, I can adapt to any schedule your dog may require. My primary goal is to ensure that your pet is familiar with his/her environment. In addition to minimizing stress and keeping the pet's normal routine intact. Safety is also a high priority for me while caring for your fur baby. I will ensure to keep you updated with photos.
“We could not be more grateful for Gabby! She was so wonderful with our dogs. She sent photos and updates 3x/day. That provided so much relief while being out of the country. To know our dogs (and home!) were safe and taken care of allowed us to enjoy our time away in peace. She took our garbage cans out on garbage day and even brought our mail inside for us! We trust Gabby and that was not easy to build after having numerous negative dog sitting experiences. We are so, so happy to recommend Gabby to other families. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve stayed overnight with 4 dogs for 3 nights a few years back. I also own 2 cats (8 and almost 1) so i’ve experienced kitten energy recently. I work part time so I could pop in before and after my short shift! I can also spend the night for a few days. I think it’s important to trust their body language before anything else. I totally love petting and playing with animals but only when they approve of it.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life! I have gotten into pet sitting more this last year and people have trusted me to stay with their animals for a week or more at a time! I love helping others who needs someone to care for their pet while they are busy. I have very open availability throughout all days of the week so I am able to visit and care for animals as frequent or as long as you would like! In my clients home I always care for their pet using the instructions they give me. I can walk them as often as you’d like and feed them on a certain schedule if needed. My biggest concern is making sure my clients feel comfortable about leaving me with their pets.
About: For years my neighbors have relied on me to take care of their four dogs when they are away for weekend trips or even for trips that last over 2 months. Each one had their own personality and I was able to adapt to it and get along with them well. Over the years I have also had my own pets and have taken care of others. I have taken care of animals from cats, snakes, guinea pigs and most of all dogs. I am patient and contempt with taking care of dogs. In all, I've had a lot of experience with animals! I adore animals all the like and have had the best experiences taking care of lovely pets. I'm a part time worker but that's only on the weekends as I have night school. That leaves me plenty of time in the day during the week and weekends to check on your fur babies. I will be able to drop in later at night at around 9:30-11 p.m. If ever in emergencies, I have a fenced yard that is very very roomy for a dog who loves to run around and play outside. I am more than happy to drop into the clients home and even help clean and pick up after the place for comfortable living for their fur baby. I don't make messes and will no matter what pick up after myself. I will always address to the client in emergencies.
About: I've watched pets for friends and family since I was a teenager. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and will love them like they are my own. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. I am currently a stay at home spouse and looking for ways to make extra income doing something I love. I am extremely flexible with my schedule and will make the time to make things work. I have a cat that is not friendly with other cats(not sure about dogs), so can only take requests for drop-in or walking for the time being. I have walked and pet sat for several clients with bigger dogs and that have special needs and am comfortable with them all. I do always try and do a meet and greet before our first visit so your pet can get to know me before they are left alone with me.
“Desiree did a great job taking care of our cats during the Christmas holiday. The cats were well cared for and very happy kitties. The cats litter was clean and kitties were well fed.”
About: I have been surrounded with dogs since I was born! My family had a golden retriever when I was younger, and we currently have an 11-year old corgi mix, an 8-year old labradoodle, and a 5-year old golden retriever. Finnley, the five year old golden, is my personal dog who I trained, walked, cleaned up after, and took care of. In addition, I lived with a 3-year old boxer last year who I helped take care of and spent a lot of time with. Besides my personal pet experience, I volunteered at the Partners for Pets shelters multiple times where I took care of dogs and cats. I also frequently take advantage of the Adopt a Dog for a Day option at the Oxford Animal Rescue Center whenever I feel overwhelmed or have a free day. Besides volunteering, I had a personal business at 15/16 where I watched both kids and animals for families in my neighborhood. I took care of multiple breeds and ages of dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. My availability is completely open until June 1st, when I will start a part time job at WashU! With that said, I am still available any weekday after 4, and all day Saturday and Sunday!! At my house, all of my dogs are trained to stay in the yard. All three get treats when they come in (because they are such good boys) and are fed twice daily. My older dog has gum issues that makes his teeth painful to use, so I put his food in water and let it soften so he is able to eat it pain-free. For walks, the two big dogs go on a joint leash and the smaller dog goes on a leash by himself. Distance wise, I take into account if the ground is hot on their paws and the temperature outside to determine how long the walk will be. We love to go to dog parks and play, as well as cuddle and lay out in the sun together.
“Jordan was outstanding during our very long vacation I never once worried about my dog because he was always communicating or readily available to communicate. Jordan went above and beyond for our dog. Responsible, caring and attentive that’s how I would describe the experience with him watching our dog. The best decision we made to have a peaceful vacation without returning to have our dog needing grooming and a vet! Thank you Jordan!”

You can trust that I am efficient when it comes to taking care of your pets. I have plenty of tools to take your fur babies on a day of fun!

About: In 22 years, I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, horses, hedgehogs, etc, etc. I love all creatures of any shape, size, or temperament. I will adapt to your pets’ personality and boundaries and discover how to make them feel the most loved! I am taking college classes online, which means I entirely make my own schedule! Day or night, I will make time to love and care for your pet. I work 2 days a week and can often move my shifts around with advance notice. I always let the animal come to me first. The most important thing is to let them know that they can trust me, so that I can learn more about what they need to feel comfortable and cared for. I follow the lead of the pet, whether it be fast-paced walking, stopping to sniff every tree, or relaxing on the couch for an overnight stay. I’m very attentive to an animal’s communication and would love to build a trusting relationship with your pet.
“We went on a long vacation in Europe and we just needed someone to spend time with our 2 pit bulls for a little bit that way our roommate wasn’t to overwhelmed with watching them and Lauren was so awesome. She had great communication and we always looked forward to their report cards everyday so we didn’t miss them too much. Most importantly though she gave us peace of mind and the ability to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dogs.”
“Nick did an amazing job watching my dogs while I was away. He is very knowledgeable about taking care of dogs and that out my mind at ease when I was out of town. When I came home, my dogs and cat were completely calm as if I had only been gone for a few minutes instead of a few days.”
About: I have lived with and cared for animals my entire life, from cats to dogs to everything in between! I've trained my own dogs when they were young and give special attention and care to those furry friends who need it <3 I am currently home for the summer from college so I am free all day on weekends and can be available very early in the morning or after noon on weekdays. Currently, my home is dog-less as we have said goodbye to our beloved furry friends, but we have 2 indoor/outdoor cats who love to explore the backyard! I love playing with all animals in the sunshine, so I am more than willing to bring toys and safe treats for your family's needs!
About: I have been taking care of dogs and watching dogs and cats for family, friends, or on Trusted House sitters for about 10 years now. I’m a reptile owner so I also have experience with lizards. I’m currently a full-time employed teacher. During holidays I like to travel and sometimes will be out of town or out of state. I like to update where I am at depending on where I currently am staying. However during the weekdays and work schedule I am available at any time from 4-10 pm. During weekends I am available all day up until 10 pm. On vacation days if I am in your area I will be available all day! I follow any care instructions down to the letter, including offering daily walks, multiple times a day if needed. I am very open about communicating on any questions I have and I’m a very quick responder with calls and texts. I like to send updates every day or even every few hours. I give pets all the love and attention and care they require! Also if I am house sitting for you I prefer to keep your place just as clean as you left it.
Swansea dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emily was amazing with Beanz! I knew when we did our initial meet and greet that he was going to be in excellent hands. She kept me well informed on any issues and loved seeing the photos of him during her drop ins. She took care of Beanz like he was her own which made the experience truly easy, especially since I hate being away from my gremlin. But would 1000% recommend Emily to anyone and would love to use her services in the future. Highly recommend!
