House Sitting In The Willows

“Devona did an amazing job of taking care of our boy Moose. She is a great communicator and was diligent about giving Moose his allergy meds every day. We very much enjoyed seeing the many photos of Moose. It made us happy to see that he was having a great time. After the house sit, Devona left our home as clean as we left it. She was very respectful of our home. We look forward to working Devona in the future (and Moose does, too)!”

“Haley did a great job taking care of our dogs. We came home to healthy, happy pets. She left our home as she found it which we deeply appreciate. Haley brings enthusiasm and positive energy to your pets. We highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve only ever personally owned a cat, but my boyfriend has two pits that are basically my own at this point. I’ve also had years of experience dog sitting for family, friends, and extended people (by word of mouth). I love taking care of cats and dogs. I have “baby fever” but for cats and dogs lol. This helps cure it without owning a million of them… I currently work from home for myself, which makes it easy to run in and out of the house when I need to. Right now my hours are very flexible. That also means I’m pretty good when it comes to needing someone last minute ;) I am also a morning person, so if you need someone bright and early I am able to do that as well! As much as I would love to have dogs come over to my house my cat is older and doesn’t have a strong liking for them. She is very content with her house being her house. With that being said I am very good when it comes to being respectful and responsible when taking care of others pets. I have a love for dogs and cats and am excited to be there for yours!

“Yelena was great, easy to reach and communicate with. Skai loved her and she even left her a new toy to play with! You can tell she is very experienced with dogs especially being that Skai can be very hyper but it did not seem to bother her at all. I would definitely book again, she made things very easy and smooth thank you :)”

“Dana was absolutely amazing with our pets. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were forced into our first experience with Rover. I feel so lucky that we were able to connect with Dana and that she had availability to watch our pups. Her communication was amazing. She was very easy to work with. She seemed very comfortable with both personalities of our dogs, which is something considering how different they are. The communication and pictures during our trip were outstanding. I couldn’t recommend Dana more. In fact, we have already sent her profile to some of our closest friends. Thank you so much for all the help!”

“We are beyond thrilled to find Kiri. This was our first opportunity to use her and we are thankful. The house was spotless, she sent lots of pictures, walked them regularly and gave them lots of love. I hope she made herself at home as we appreciate her so much. We are already looking to book our next stay. 5 star all the way.”

“Colleen is amazing! Not only did she take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were out of the country, she kept our house plants watered, and the house was nice and clean when we got back! We would love to have her take care of our two pups when we travel again! Thank you so much Colleen!”

“Halima did a great job house sitting. She sent daily pictures of my cat and send me consistent updates while I was away. I would highly recommend her services.”

“Liana and Dela are wonderful, attentive and respectful. They stayed in our home for 4 nights and took great care of our dog and our home. They were even willing to water our plants too! They went above and beyond by cleaning our house and our bed sheets! Our dog Bubba loves them because they give him so much attention and affection. We loved the pictures they sent of our fur baby being loved on. We will definitely book with them in the future and highly recommend them!”

“Alicia did a great job house sitting for our two dogs, one bird and some fish! We hadn’t traveled in a while, so we were nervous about finding someone to watch the dogs in our home who would really keep them comfortable. We were glad to see all animals happy and healthy upon returning, plus above and beyond care given to our home needs like taking in mail! Alicia kept us updated every day and she followed the schedule that she had promised for overnights and meal times, so we felt secure enjoying our trip. Thank you so much, Alicia!”

“My first experience with Rover is with Cristina, Cristina is fabulous with our puppy, Dash. Cristina played with Dash, brought him to the dog park and took him on various walks. Cristina is very pleasant, happy, and passes on her confident personality which makes a first-time Rover-user like me, feel confident when leaving their puppy with the caretaker for the day!! And Dash could sense immediately the pleasant character of Cristina, so he showed readiness in leaving his Mama, which came as a surprise to me!! When we come back to Central Florida, we will give you a shout! Thank you Cristina!”

“We’ve been so happy with Alex! She recently stayed to watch my lab and I loved all of the pictures and communication while I was away! Elsie enjoyed their walks and playtime! Alex is very polite and responsive and left our house very clean! Definitely recommend her for any dog sitting needs! Thanks again, Alex!”
