House Sitting Waddell

“I cleaned house before we left and was thrilled to come home to a spotless house and a HAPPY dog!! Chuck sent us pictures and or videos every day and Harper was smiling and content every time!! We had a rather complicated food recipe that Chuck had to follow and he did so like an experienced line cook lol. He is extremely organized- taking notes at the meet and greet and then again right before we left, asking questions and making us feel sooo comfortable leaving our sweet dog in his care! He was sooo friendly and accommodating and his wife is lovely too. 😊 I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to use him for their pet sitting because we didn’t at any time feel uncomfortable or worried about our dog or home and that in itself helps to make a vacation wonderful!! Bonus for us is that we have the nicest new friends and Harper does too!!! Harper says thank you, too!!! 🩷”

“She was absolutely wonderful with our babies! We booked her for four days to watch our two dogs and cat, and they all loved her! She was very patient with all of our instructions, kept our house clean and tidy, and was super accommodating to everything we asked of her. She was also great about communicating with us, followed up with us before and after the stay, and sent us lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. It made us feel so comfortable knowing our pets were happy and well taken care of while we were away. You can really tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We would definitely have her pet sit for us again!!”

“Brianna was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay and incredibly flexible when my plans changed last-minute, which I really appreciated. She was kind, patient and attentive to Amelia’s needs the whole time and I really appreciated the regular updates and sweet pictures as well. I felt completely at ease knowing Amelia was in such good hands. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her for me!”

About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds! I am animal lover who is also patient with pets that can be shy at first. I love going for walks and going to parks with pups that are into that and I'm also good for a snuggle with the older pets. I'm very clean, reliable and trustworthy as a house guest. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! I work a part-time job in Surprise Thursday-Saturday. My shifts are typically only 5-6 hours long, so I'm very available to care for your fur babies! My other job is also part time and is remote so I am home with my computer much of the time. I'm very outdoorsy so spending time in the yard, going for walks and playing at the park is almost as much fun for me as it is for your pup! My dog, that has passed away, was a runner so I understand the importance of utilizeing a good leash and making sure all gates and doors are secured properly.

About: current pets: 2 hermit crabs (5yrs), frenchie mix rescue (1yr) previous: dogs - newfie, black lab, husky, chihuahua. cats - several, mostly of stray lineage i have experience giving general meds to cats and dogs ie pills, eye drops, even with the most finicky of cats! not afraid of getting scratched either, it happens especially with meds. Your pets’ needs will always be met under my care and I am fully transparent with my pricing & tech savvy; if you have any questions during the booking or issues with the Rover system, never hesitate to ask questions about any of the aforementioned topics! *if you are 20+ miles round trip from my home (10 miles away) a service fee of 15 will be added to the booking upon initial request* I am typically fully available on weekends as I am a cleaning lady during Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, let me know if you are interested in cleaning services as well! I also respond very quickly most of the time, especially if I have/am around your pet (unless we are becoming best buds and we are distracted) Rover card always includes pictures. I usually message an ETA before I arrive in case of alarm systems or similar. When in your home, I follow the care plan and instructions given to a T and ask questions if necessary/applicable, door is always locked behind me upon entering. Check for messes, follow routine; my only deviation I typically do is adding (filtered, and if possible) water to the pets food, dehydration is very common in AZ. And most pets love it, highly recommend it! I also clean bowls, take out trash, and wipe down countertops. Double check all doors and windows are secure/not broken and that AC is working before locking up and heading out.

“Tonya T was amazing! It was her first time sitting with our 1 year old Jingles and she was very engaged in keeping Jingles busy and happy. He loved her. She texted us about what they were doing and sent pictures and videos. We will definitely rebook her!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to find someone whose schedule truly works with your pet’s needs. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager and joined Rover recently. I wanted to be that reliable person for other pet owners who may feel overwhelmed trying to find the right care. I have plenty of free time, work from home and genuinely love being around animals, so your pets will get lots of attention, love, and consistency. They won’t be left feeling alone or ignored while they’re with me. I’m here to keep them company, give them plenty of affection, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy the entire time. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how important they are to you. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, and everything in between. My goal is to give your pets the same love and care I would want someone to give my babies. ❤️ I’m usually up and available as early as 5 AM, and I can visit as late as 11:30 PM, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I can work around yours! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and they are truly part of my family. My oldest dog is 15, and I also have a puppy, so I’ve experienced caring for dogs at every stage of life. When I care for someone else’s dog, I treat them exactly how I would want someone to treat my own. I’m attentive to their needs, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. ❤️

About: I worked in vet med for the past 6 years. I am currently taking a break from it to open up my schedule to do more at home pet sitting. I can administer medications (injectable, oral and topical), I love all age stages from babies to seniors! Young, old, spicy and sweet. I always make sure to let owners know what my schedule is looking like and if that is going to work with their pets routine. I stick to the routine the pet is used to as much as possible. Any medications, sleeping arrangements, even down to what kind of blankey they get tucked in with at night.

“We had a fantastic experience with Kristen! She sent us daily updates with photos and we even joked that some of her photos were frame worthy! She was great with communication and follow up, I never had to reach out to her. We will absolutely be booking Kristen in the future!!”

About: I have experience caring and owning dogs and have fully experienced the many different personalities each pet can have. I'm very comfortable dealing with anxious and excited doggos and have no problem taking time to build a relationship with each one. I am currently unemployed so I am able to care for pets at all times of the day and stay overnight to keep then company. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine, and any instructions provided for pets needing medication. I also spend additional time bonding with them and letting them get used to me being around even if that means keeping my distance until they work up to me. I have 0 problems handling pets with potty issues as most of the ones I watch have accidents waiting for me when I arrive!

“We loved having Pam stay with Alice while we were out of town! She’s flexible, communicative, and took good care of our anxious pupper. Thanks Pam!”

Max M.

“Madison is beyond fantastic! Great communication; we had consistent updates and always felt confident Charlie was in great hands. Of course, Charlie loves her! Exercise and snuggles! What else could a vizsla ask for? Madison is also superb with all the responsibilities thrown her way. We can’t say enough glowing things!”

“Christina does a wonderful job with my fur babies and house! She takes care of my two dogs and four cats and she always goes above and beyond. 10/10 recommend her for anyone who wants a trustworthy sitter who loves and cares for my animals as I do!”

“Ana was amazing! She communicated well. I could tell my dogs felt right at home with her. Which is a lot we have four dogs with very unique personalities. She really seemed to understand what they needed. For her first time having someone else take care of our dogs it really eliminated all the concerns/worries while we were gone. We loved all the pictures and the commentary. Thanks for enjoying our animals and keeping them loved while we were gone.”

“Daisy B. did an exceptional job of caring for our Merlot and Jazzy. She kept the house and backyard clean. played with the dogs every day.

“Krystal A. was awesome! My dog fell in love with her so quickly and he is very shy. She did a great job paying attention to him and keeping him on his normal routine. I hope to book her again soon.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses. I’m currently attending school to become a veterinary technician, which is helping me build more knowledge in pet health and care. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from playful puppies or kittens to seniors who need extra patience, and I always follow care instructions closely to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I currently attend school to become a veterinary technician, Monday through Friday from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM (including commute). Outside of those hours, my schedule is open and flexible for drop-in visits, mornings, nights, and weekends. This allows me to provide dependable care while pursuing my passion for animals. I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would with family. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide plenty of cuddles and attention, and make sure they get regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours (or as instructed). I pay close attention to their routines and comfort, whether that means playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company.

“I felt very comfortable with Gina, and my dogs took to her very quickly. She sent lots of photos and kept me updated on how things were going. I will use her again.”

About: About Me 😸 Hi, I'm Maggie! I bring extensive, professional hands-on veterinary industry (including ER) experience to every pet I care for. For me, pet sitting isn't a hobby—it is a commitment to providing the absolute highest standard of safety, comfort, and specialized care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walking partner or your senior cat requires a gentle, patient companion, I tailor my routine entirely to your pet's unique personality and medical needs. Why Choose Me? • Advanced Medical Knowledge: With my veterinary background, I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, topical treatments, and injections. I can expertly read animal body language to spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or medical changes before they become issues. • Special Needs & Senior Care Experts: I welcome senior pets, puppies, and animals recovering from surgery or managing chronic illnesses. I know exactly how to maintain strict care schedules. • Safety First, Always: My industry experience means I treat emergency preparedness as a top priority. You will receive regular, detailed updates and photo check-ins so you can enjoy your time away with 100% peace of mind. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet! Because pet care is my primary focus, your pet will never be left alone for long periods. • Boarding / House Sitting: I maintain a consistent, predictable routine. Pets are never left unattended for more than 2 to 4 hours at a time, ensuring plenty of potty breaks, mental stimulation, and companionship. • Drop-Ins / Walks: I offer flexible scheduling windows throughout the day. I arrive promptly within our agreed-upon time frame so your pet's feeding and medication schedule remains perfectly on track. Safety and respect for your property are my absolute highest priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care and maintain strict safety protocols to ensure your pets remain secure and comfortable in their own familiar environment: • Home Security & Vigilance: I strictly follow your locking preferences, arm security alarms precisely as instructed, and ensure all windows and gates are securely closed before leaving or going to sleep. I keep a low profile to ensure your home looks occupied and secure. • Escaping Prevention: I am incredibly vigilant about "door-darting." I use careful entry and exit barriers to ensure pets never have the opportunity to slip outside accidentally. During walks, dogs are always kept on secure, reliable leashes—never off-leash in unsecured areas. • Health & Behavioral Monitoring: I perform daily, subtle health checks (monitoring appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits). Because of my professional background, I can spot the earliest signs of stress, bloat, or discomfort and act immediately. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep the contact information for your primary veterinarian and the nearest 24/7 emergency pet hospital easily accessible. If an unexpected home issue arises (like a leak or power outage), I will handle it calmly and contact you immediately.

About: Hello, I'm Carlos, I am a PhD student at Texas A&M. Currently, I work from home so I am able to provide full time attention to your pup.

I’d love to meet you and your family 🐕 Please feel free to reach out 😁 🚨Unfortunately, I do not take any dogs that have tendencies to bark❌, eat house plants ❌ or that behaves aggressively ❌ I work remotely so I have plenty of time on my hands.
