House Sitting in Victory Gardens

“Jessica did a great job caring for Luna. Luna is quite shy and nervous around new people, but she felt comfortable and accepted Jessica right away, which was a huge relief for us. There was a last minute change in the overnight arrangements due to a personal matter, but Jessica communicated this and ensured Luna was well looked after during the day. We were happy to see Luna calm and will be booking her again.”

“Amazing care! We got so many pictures and a few videos throughout the 11 days and Hero was well taken care of. He has a habit of eating things he shouldn't and there was only one minor incident that we were told of right away (and thankfully hasn't caused any issues). We're looking forward to booking them again!”

“We are SO happy with Jennifer’s diligent, patient, & loving care of our little girl — we feel we hit the jackpot finding her! After the sudden passing of our two beloved dogs last year, we were anxious & apprehensive about leaving our recently adopted (also anxious) dog for the first time on a trip. Jennifer alleviated all anxieties, was wonderful about checking in and asking questions, respectful of our home, went above and beyond. Plus our hard-to-crack little egg absolutely loves her! Many many thanks to Jennifer; we feel confident leaving our little girl in the safety of her care.”

“Antonia was the absolute best!! We were so happy with her watching our fur babies! She was so informative and kept us updated throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. We had never left our dogs with everyone and this being our first time was an absolute dream. She left our house neat, clean and was so conscientious!! Can't thank her enough!!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 and I really love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to feed, walk, play with, and watch their pets when they’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog likes long walks, playing, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always do my best to make owners feel comfortable leaving their pets with me. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for your pets since I am home from college. I’m available throughout most weekdays and weekends, which gives me lots of time to give your pets attention, playtime, walks, and care. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for when they’re with me. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or routines your pet is used to. I’m patient with animals and pay attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. In a client’s home, I am respectful of the space and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while the owners are away.

“Rebecca was absolutely fantastic with our fur babies! We have a cat and an older dog with digestive issues that requires specific care. Usually, we travel with our pets, but unfortunately, this time, we couldn’t. I’m a nervous wreck when I leave them with anyone else because of past experiences and illnesses that have occurred in my absence. Before booking, Rebecca was completely transparent about any prior commitments that might take her away from our home for a few hours. She wanted to ensure that this would still be a good fit for our dog’s well-being. I really appreciated that Rebecca was incredibly kind and attuned to the needs of our animals. She handled them with the utmost patience and understanding. I believe her to be incredibly trustworthy, and both our dog and cat absolutely adored her. I received countless photos, videos, and updates of our dog doing her happy dance, taking naps, and snuggling up on the couch with Rebecca. One day our dog had an upset stomach which is always a cause for concern with her chronic health issues, and Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure that she did everything possible to care for her properly. She kept me fully in the loop and even offered to cook rice and broth for her in case she needed to settle her stomach. I mentioned that sweet potato usually helps her eat again if needed, and Rebecca offered to drive and pick one up so that she could ensure it was a good quality for my dog, rather than me having one delivered to the house: Thankfully my dog finally decided to eat her food and got better in the evening but like I said, she went above and beyond. I would/will hire Rebecca again and entrust her with our fur babies without hesitation. She was simply phenomenal and is a pet owner’s dream come true. Rebecca, Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of our fur babies!”

“We could not be more grateful for Raechel’s flexibility and communication the last week as we navigated finding pet care for a last-minute funeral. We returned home to a spotless house and happy, well cared for pets - with the TV turned on to one of their favorite programs, a detail that made us so happy. We will absolutely be booking with Raechel again!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m comfortable working with high-energy pets, shy animals, seniors, and those with special needs who require extra patience and attention. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet needs calm, dependable care or lots of playtime and activity, I’m happy to provide a fun, loving, and attentive experience.

On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and lots of playtime and attention. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, especially high-energy pets who need extra exercise and engagement. I’m also comfortable maintaining routines and giving pets the patience and consistency they need to feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure.

“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our dogs, Lila and Cash. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable leaving them with her. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Lila can be particular and Cash is still a puppy with plenty of energy, but she handled both of them so well. We came home to two happy dogs and had total peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter 💕”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for years, both personally and professionally. I previously worked in a grooming salon where I regularly handled large and giant breeds, helped with bathing and nail trims, and worked with dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. Friends and family have also relied on me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and attentive caring for your pet, and I always try to make animals feel safe and comfortable with me. I currently have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my routine. I’m available for daytime, evening, and weekend care depending on the booking. I always try to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, energy levels, and body language so pets can stay as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also have experience working with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels through grooming salon work and personal pet care.

“Annett is wonderful and I’d recommend her to anyone! She stayed with our two sphynx cats for 10 days while we were in Europe. She took the time to really bond with them and we felt so much better knowing they were getting plenty of attention and care while we were away. She had excellent communication and her daily updates brought smiles to our faces every time!”

About: New to Rover, but not to pets! See my background in professional pet care below! I bring over three years of professional experience from multiple dog boarding and daycare facilities, in addition to living with my own furry family members since childhood. This background gives me both the technical skills to handle logistics - from managing high-energy playgroups to following strict feeding, and cleaning protocols - and the genuine heart to treat every guest like one of my own. My time at D.A.R.G. (Domestic Animal Rescue Group) in South Africa further sharpened my ability to connect with animals from all walks of life. Special Skills: Medical & Senior Care: I am comfortable and experienced in administering medications. Behavioral Awareness: Having worked with challenging temperaments and diverse energy levels, I know how to read body language and provide the right environment for shy, reactive, or high-energy pets. Cat Specialist: I understand that cats are unique. I approach them with patience and respect - always on their terms - ensuring they feel secure in their own space. Training Basics: I can reinforce basic commands and maintain the structure you’ve already established for your pet. ✨ Why Pet Owners Choose Me • Experienced with both dogs and cats • Comfortable with a wide range of personalities and behaviors • Patient and attentive - great with shy, energetic, or more sensitive pets • Able to administer medications if needed • Reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented • You’ll always receive updates and photos! 📸 Pet care is a consistent part of my daily life. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or helping out friends, I prioritize routine and reliability. My current schedule allows me the flexibility to provide dedicated check-ins, walks, and attentive overnight care. Because I’m used to the fast-paced environment of professional daycares, I’m excellent at time management and ensuring every "potty break" and meal happens right on time. My priority is making sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I show your pets. My Safety Protocol: Detailed Updates: You’ll receive regular updates with photos and videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Routine-Focused: I mirror your pet's existing schedule to minimize any "vacation anxiety." Attentive & Alert: My background in professional boarding has trained me to be hyper-aware of environmental hazards and subtle changes in a pet's behavior or health. Calm Presence: I provide a peaceful environment for more sensitive animals while offering fun, active engagement for those who need to burn off energy.

“This is the second time that we’ve used Erin to house sit our dog Rocky. Erin is awesome!!! She responds right away and always keeps us updated on her visits. Erin is now our go-to dog sitter. We will definitely be using her in the future. I highly recommend Erin for all of your dog sitting needs.”

About: With over 8 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I bring calm, capable, and reliable care to every pet I look after. I’m fully comfortable with medication administration, monitoring special conditions, and supporting pets with special needs who may require extra attention or patience. I treat every animal like my own, whether they’re a dog who loves playtime or a cat who needs a gentle, understanding approach. I’m extremely comfortable with both cats and dogs, including seniors, shy personalities, and pets who need medical or behavioral support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first with me. My schedule is very open, as I’m currently doing online school and not working outside the home. This allows me to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine as much as possible. The only time I’m unavailable each day is during my lunch break from 12:30–2:00 PM, when I spend time with my husband. Outside of that window, I’m fully available for drop‑ins, walks, and pet care. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs and create a schedule that works best for them. Whether you need consistent daily visits or occasional help, I’ll do my best to accommodate you. I do take Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day off, but I’m available throughout the rest of the year. Your pets’ comfort and routine matter to me, and I’m here to make things as smooth and stress‑free as possible. I do not bring pets into my home, as I believe most animals feel safest and happiest in their own familiar environment. Keeping your pet in their routine reduces stress, prevents confusion, and allows me to give care that feels natural and comfortable for them. It also ensures I don’t disrupt the established routines of my own cats, who thrive on structure. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with the utmost respect. Every home and every pet is different, and I take the time to understand what your pet needs to feel secure — whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, maintaining a quiet environment, or following specific medical or behavioral guidelines. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and trustworthy experience for both you and your pets. Your home and your animals are cared for with the same attention and respect I give my own.

“Erinn did a wonderful job with our animals. We got regular updates. The house and animals were in the condition we had left them when we returned home. Everyone seemed happy. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs a good portion of my life! Love pets altogether. I can understand that all pets have different needs and quirks! I’m currently babysitting Monday’s through Friday’s but a limited amount of hours daily. It isn’t anything that would interfere with pet care needs I’d need to accomplish elsewhere. As far as overnight stays my hours wouldn’t cut in but I’d leave at some point in the day for babysitting for a couple hours. For day to day drop in’s or walks I could communicate my availability and come to an agreement accordingly with owners. My hours in babysitting wouldn’t prevent me from meeting any needs because aside from babysitting I have a lot of time available in the day. I personally don’t take boarding clients but I’m very respectful in other peoples homes. Whatever boundaries and request’s set I will honor them. I’m there to help with a service needed and get paid and hopefully get some pet cuddles in lol. I’ve worked in many different homes with different dynamics and I’ve always gotten back that I’m very pleasant and helpful, that’s huge especially when it comes to childcare. Let alone pet care. I would never take advantage or overstep it’s not in my moral compass to disrespect another persons space.

“Trustworthy and professional dog sitter. She provided regular updates with photos, maintained a clean environment, and followed all care instructions. It's evident she genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Will definitely book again!"”
