House Sitting Waldo

“Patty was amazing- my pup Louie immediately took to her and her calm energy was welcomed by him. She was conscientious and kind. We will definitely use her services again.”

“Haley always does a great job caring for our 2 cats and springer spaniel. We know that when we are away that we can depend on her to for quick communication and follow through!”

“We were a bit apprehensive about leaving Ruby for an entire week, as she’d been showing signs of anxiety recently. It was reassuring to receive photo updates from Jessica which showed that Ruby was obviously very comfortable and enjoying having Jessica stay with her. She responded to all inquiries immediately. When we got home Ruby was happy and the house looked exactly as it did when we left. We will definitely be calling on Jessica in the future!”

About: I have spent years working with dogs, including teaching puppy classes for two years. This gave me a solid foundation in canine behavior and positive reinforcement. Because of my healthcare background, I am exceptionally detail-oriented, reliable, and observant of subtle behavior changes or medical needs. I specialize in dogs of all temperaments—especially anxious, sensitive, or reactive dogs who require a "slow-is-fast" approach. I am calm and safety-focused, prioritizing your dog’s body language and signals over rushed interactions. Whether your dog is high-energy or needs a quiet, structured environment, I provide the consistent care they need to feel safe while you’re away. My schedule is generally flexible, with availability on weekday and weekends. I plan bookings carefully and limit my schedule to ensure each pet recieves attentive, unrushed care. I communicate clearly about timing and am happy to discuss routines and advanced bookings. I follow each owner's instructions carefully and use my experience to create a calm safe environment. I prioritize clear communication, consistancy, and attentive observation to keep pets comfortable and safe.

“Emma is amazing! I loved that she wanted to meet me and Lacey before she accepted a job. It was important to her that we were all on the same page. I was able to talk about Laceys needs and routine in person, which really made me feel at ease. When the weekend came for her to stay at our house I was completely comfortable leaving Lacey in her care. She gave me updates and pictures which was great. Thank you Emma!!!!”

“Alissa did an a amazing job house sitting our doggy Baxter! The house was clean garbage was taken out which was above and beyond our expectations. Baxter was well tended to and responses and pictures were sent regularly! Will definitely call on Alissa again in the future thanks so much Alissa!”

“Wow! What can I say? Margaret exceeded every expectation I had for Uecker’s care today! As a new puppy mom who’s only had him for three weeks, leaving him with someone for the first time was a little nerve-wracking. But Margaret made me feel completely at ease. She didn’t just watch him—she played with him, loved on him, reinforced the commands we’ve been working on, and treated him like he was her own. The best part? Walking through the door and finding Uecker snuggled up right next to her. My heart absolutely melted. It was obvious he felt safe, loved, and completely comfortable. I truly couldn’t be happier with the care Margaret provided. Book her before I do, because with my busy schedule, I’ll definitely be calling her again! Thank you so much, Margaret. Uecker already adores you, and so do I!”

About: i’ve worked with all different size dogs, cats from different age ranges who need medication and lounge, and some others who need training and active walks! i’m currently not working many hours at my job and thought this would be a great way to spend my extra time spending time with animals ! I cuddle and play with my animals! i feed my dog twice a day, and let her outside about 7-8 times a day, unless she walks around with me outside! i give her treats, wash her, clip her toe nails, clean her face, etc.

“Sarah was excellent, and great last minute help.! She made time to meet myself and Rocky prior to sitting which I appreciated a lot. She was very trustworthy and made me feel comfortable leaving my Rocky with her!”

“Thank you so much for caring for our pets and our house We appreciate all that you have done for us.”

“We have a 4 year old terrier mix, a Dachshund and an Boxer who are both 8, and a 12-year old Chihuahua-Dachshund mix who is very nervous and afraid of just about everyone but myself and my husband. We've not been comfortable boarding them for a few years now, so have not really been able to go away overnight unless a close friend or family member was available to sit with them. That's all changed now, thanks to Jeremy! A friend had recommended Rover.com, so we read through hundreds of reviews for dozens of sitters, and Jeremy sounded like the best fit. We booked a couple of house visits and then an overnight house-sitting. He was great in general, and absolutely amazing with our little frightened girl. He was so patient and made extra effort to make her feel comfortable around him, and in no time she had warmed to him more than she has with most of the family members she's had contact with for years! Jeremy sent frequent texts and photos while we were away so we could see just how they were all getting along. We were comfortable we'd left our babies in good hands, and were actually able to relax and enjoy our time away. We will definitely be booking with Jeremy again in the future! Thank you, Jeremy!”

About: As I said in my headline, I work from home so it is easy for me to pack my stuff up and come care for your pets while you are away. If they will be staying with me they will get spoiled with attention all day. Our backyard is not fenced in but we have a line off our back door from when we had a dog for when nature calls. I am also freely able to let them out for potty breaks while working. My work schedule is very flexible to take your pets for walks or stop in. I currently watch my friends animals when they are away. One household is 2 dogs and 2 cats and the other is just a cat. One of the dogs I have experience administering medication with and dealing with a anxious dog. I also frequently watch a families Boxer when they have errands to run or want to go out for the evening.

“Leah was great with my special needs senior, Romeo! We can't wait to have her again!”

I closely follow your instructions and routines to keep your pet feeling secure and cared for.

“Steph was communicative and reliable. She clearly loves cats and understands their behavior and needs. We felt relaxed while away knowing she was watching over things!”

About: Hi! My name is Taylor, I’m a lifelong animal lover with lots of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I work full‑time and am in the office four days a week, with remote work on Fridays, which gives me flexibility at the end of the week and allows me to spend quality time with the pets I’m caring for. I grew up with two golden doodles and a mini pinscher poodle, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I also have experience fostering kittens and caring for multiple pets at once. At home, I have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with feline care, routines, and personalities as well. I live in Port Washington and love taking dogs on neighborhood walks or to nearby parks for some fresh air and exercise. Whether your pet needs walks, overnight care, or just some extra company and attention, I’d love to help and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I work full-time remotely, so I’m available for dogsitting during the day! My work will just need to come with me, but your pup will still get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether at your home or on a walk, I stick to their routine, give plenty of attention, and keep them safe. I’ll also send updates, so you know they’re happy and well cared for!

“Sophia took wonderful care of our puppy & house while we were out of town for a long weekend. She provided frequent updates with pictures that we treasured! Our pup loved spending time with her & all the walks & attention. We felt so secure in knowing our pup was having such a great time with Sophia!”

“Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!”
