Top rated Tavener house sitters
“Tamanda was very attentive to the needs and the care of our animals. She didn’t miss a beat on their schedule and very helpful with staying in touch regarding their day to day. We love having her join us in our home while away to look after our animals.”
“My dogs' mom couldn't care for the dogs at the last second before my trip. Karen not only agreed to do it, but she went over and above by staying at the house with my pups. They were so excited to see Karen and had a lot of fun. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend Karen for your puppy needs!”
“Milton is very friendly and he took good care of my 2 German Shepherds. He was on time and made sure to send me pictures and update me about how they were doing every single time. I definitely recommend him.”
“Tuongvi and her Boyfriend were available at the last minute for an out of state trip after another sitter fell through. Despite the stress that caused, I am so relieved it happened. I will absolutely be scheduling future overnights with them. My Boxer-Pit mix has separation anxiety and is dog/animal reactive. I have only left her overnight one other time so needless to say I was nervous about a long weekend away from her. Tuongvi was responsive and communicative from the minute I reached out about booking. She came over prior to the trip so I could show them my space and familiarize them and my dog. During my trip, I received regular pictures and updates. It was abundantly clear my dog was well cared for and loved.”
“Claudia is amazing! She handled my two German Shepherds like a boss. She sent videos and pictures while we were away which is a plus for any dog owner. Always in our hearts and missed while gone, it is comforting to know they are being looked after by a responsible, caring person. I know she was here frequently, because my pup probably would have chewed up more than just a pillow had she been left to her own devices for too long! So I consider that a win! I am hesitant to leave a glowing review because I'd like for her to always be available whenever we leave town, but she is worthy!”
“Kelsie was great! She was very communicative with us while she was house sitting our two dogs. Our dog kept found a hole in the fence and she covered it where our dog could get out. When we arrived back home our dogs and house looked like we just left. She did such an amazing job!”
“Kara did excellent with my fur babies! I came home to happy fur kids! My little Cooper cuddled with Kara and he is a hard sell! She won him over! I would ask her to come again. She is reliable, trustworthy, and great with pets!”
About: I aspired to be a Veterinarian but settled to personally care for everyone’s babies, over treating. I can perform CPR & very cautious to breeds, health issues, allergies, etc. I have experience in: Ophthalmology, Cancer, Hospice, Post-Op, Medicating, Neurological, and Anxious/ Fearful patients I work 3 days a week— I can go into detail or attach a spreadsheet to make it easier for understanding but I do get 5 days off in a row, we rotate holidays & that’s the only time my schedule changes & the 3 days a week I work at the Emergency & Specialty I won’t be available as I want to give my full attention and properly care for the fur babies I live in an apartment so I doubt I can board medium to large dogs but if it’s a small dog or cat I can do so and I basically have a spacious apartment for my 4 pets (3 cats & pug) I keep it tidy, pet proofed, & a lot of toys to keep them occupied. I have cameras— can see all angles to keep an eye on them when I’m not home and outdoor camera if maintenance is going to enter— I let them know I have my pets there prior entering but they are very good at going when I’m home/ schedule appointment. They are free to roam, my cats free feed, except my senior cat & dog who are on prescription diets and medications.

“Ryan was absolutely what I was looking for! Reliable, professional, & trusting! After my last rover experience I was a bit hesitant what would happen when booking someone else; however, Ryan did not fail to amaze! He checked in on my pups multiple times a day, fed them and sent pictures in which they looked very content. I feel very comfortable leaving my pups in Ryan’s care while I travel. Definitely recommend Ryan for your pet services!”
About: New in town, very energetic and would love to meet new animals around the neighborhood!! Super loving and caring, for sitting and boarding, I can offer at least 3 walks per day along with several short walks/play time in the backyard depending on the weather. I’ve had experience taking care of both senior dogs, large dogs, and cats. Also I had experience sitting multiple pets’ family! Hit me up for more information and thanks for your trust in me with your babies!!! I currently work from home as a freelance photographer, and I stay in the house for most of the time. Except I do have 2 hours gym hour each day, when I’ll ask my daughter to be at home during that time, if you are not comfortable leaving the pet alone. I live in a large house with giant back yard, the yard goes straight to a quiet lake where our neighbors walk the dogs. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, and friendly.
About: Hi my name is Briana. I currently work at a pet hospital, where I care for animals with love and attention to detail. Before this, I spent about three years at a boarding facility called PetSuites, where I was trained in feeding, administering medication, walking, bathing, and boarding dogs. I truly love every fur baby I meet and treat them like my own. I’m comfortable with all breeds and am always ready to meet your expectations with care and professionalism. I’m excited to help and assist you, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 😊 I currently work full-time at a pet hospital from 8am- 6pm. I have open availability Saturday- Monday and can help as needed after work 😊 I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where we have local parks. I take out my furry friends 3 to 4 times a day and feed based on their feeding.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and love having them around. If you want someone who truly loves to play and love on your dog then we are the perfect match. I have a free schedule after 12noon to care and play with your dog. My husband also works from home, so someone is here at all times. We are both available to walk, play fetch and love on your fur baby. We love our dog as part of the family and would give your little one the same love and affection as ours. My entire backyard is completely enclosed in, with artificial turf. So rain or shine your lil fur baby can go outside and use the restroom without getting muddy. My maltipoo will keep your fur baby entertained and happy with a long dog run on each side of the house. Rest assured, they can play in the backyard without getting muddy or full of grass and can not get out the yard. I also have a covered patio with fans to cool off after running around. Water bowls are always filled so they are well hydrated before, during and after play time.
About: With 8 years of hands-on pet care experience, I treat every dog like my own. I specialize in both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, and I’m confident in administering medications, following routines, and providing calm, loving attention. I believe in building trust through consistency, communication, and lots of belly rubs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs. My goal is to not only care for your pet—but to help them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m available full-time, which means your pet will have my undivided attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m here to provide consistent, reliable care. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate last-minute bookings and maintain your pet’s routine with ease. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends. I ensure a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment at all times.

I have a 7- year-old Shih Tzu and a 3 year-old Aussiedoodle (20 pounds and 60 pounds). Briana is always patient with them and gives them loving attention. I can be a bit anxious about leaving my dogs, but I know they are in great hands since Briana has prior experience working with animals. I feel at ease and know my babies are in good hands! Highly recommended!”
