House Sitting Walnut Grove

“Marianne watched our dog Stella and our cat Star while we were away. Both were so well taken care of -- I wasn't worried about them one bit in Marianne's care. She took Stella on long, sunny walks. Both pets got plenty of attention, and we got to have a relaxing weekend away. Thank you Marianne!”

“Ann did a fantastic job dog sitting our very high energy and dog-reactive pup in our home for five days! She sent so many pictures and we could tell our pup was content/happy and so well taken care of. Ann also reached out to ask clarifying questions when needed and was very responsive. I highly recommend Ann!”

“Meta took great care of our 2 pugs. I felt totally comfortable leaving for 5 days and her caring for the dogs. We came home and the house was very clean. She even made us a delicious quiche. I am not saying everyone should expect a quiche, but that was very thoughtful! would deinately use Meta in the future. I highly recommend her.”

About: My whole life I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, having 3 different dogs and 10 cats over the years. I’ve been one of the main caretakers in my family of our pets. Walking, feeding, bathing, and cutting nails are examples of some of the things I’ve grown up doing for our pets. I worked in a veterinary clinic for the past year and I will be a first year student in veterinary school starting this fall. I’m entirely free this summer until classes start! Once the fall hits and I start veterinary school my availability will become more limited but as of now I’m super free. I use extreme care for any animals I’m taking care of and I’m a very attentive person to their needs and what they want and enjoy. I have a lot of experience with taking care of dogs and cats from growing up with pets, volunteering, and working in veterinary clinic. I’ve gained a lot of knowledge on how to properly care for your pet whether that be in a home or on a walk. I have a huge passion for animals and always pour so much love into any pet that is around me and under my care.

“Great experience! Our sitter took wonderful care of our two Labrador puppies—playing with them in the yard, giving them a special treat, and keeping them happy and content. We loved receiving photos of them playing and resting peacefully. Highly recommend!”

“Anna is a fantastic dog sitter who goes above and beyond for her clients. Before having Anna sit for us for the first time, she made the effort to come by and visit our pup. This was so important for there reasons: 1. Gave our pup the opportunity to become friends with Anna; 2. Allowed our dog to feel comfortable in her home with this new friend; and 3. Gave us the opportunity to show Anna where the important things for our dog are in the house. Anna is prompt and communicative. She gave us photo and text updates throughout her visit. She is clearly a kind and respectful person and dogs seem to love her immediately. I will most definitely reach out to Anna again for any dog sitting/house sitting occasions.”

“This is our second experience booking. We had another wonderful experience. Our dog Nova was so happy and relaxed. We received detailed updates, photos, and videos. Our house was well cared for. We highly recommend and will definitely work with him again!”

Nicole S.

“Ann was wonderful with our puppy. She was very responsive to our messages and flexible when we needed to change things. We felt our puppy was in great hands when we were away and she even taught her a few commands. Will definitely recommend her to others.”

Kyle T.

“Tatyana was great with my pups! She provided the perfect amount of updates and even left me flowers and a note congratulating me on my first home purchase ☺️”

Samantha K.

“Have had Teagan stay with our two pups a few times and we always come home to happy pups and a spotless house. Great communication and lots of pictures.”

Hanna E.

“Eric and Rachel were absolutely amazing with our pups! In fact, we already rebooked them before this first booking was even done because we were so happy with how they were treating our pups and their great communication. We have older dogs and our oldest is 14 with some health issues. We haven’t used a pet sitter since our dogs were much younger. So we were very nervous going into this, but Eric and Rachel took amazing care of our dogs, we’re patient loving with them, and always sent us updates and pictures. They also took great care of our home while they were staying there. They and their dog Lilo all have experience with rescue dogs, and you can see that and how they were able to adapt to the quirks and needs of our older dogs. Would recommend without hesitation!”

Spencer I.

“Samantha was phenomenal! She provided great communication and provided good updates with my dog. She took amazing care of him. I had her housesitting for me and she was extremely respectful of my apartment as well. I would absolutely have Samantha help me out again!”

Daria D.

“Kylie was very communicative and really helped us out with a last minute booking on a holiday. She was punctual, sent great updates, and instantly put our senior dog at ease. We were nervous using Rover for the 1st time, but we would highly recommend her services and will absolutely call her again the next time we need someone.”

“Annalesse did a great job taking care of my dog while I was out of town at a wedding. It was my first time leaving my dog with stranger and I was nervous but annalesse did a great job of ensuring Bandit was well cared for! I received plenty of pictures and my girl had a great time!”

About: My pet-sitting experiences include looking after both cats and dogs day to day and for extended periods of time. When taking care of cats, I make sure they have clean water and food at all times; keep their environment clean; watch over them and see if they are healthy; and interact with them by playing with them on a daily basis. I also have experience caring for dogs of various sizes and energy levels. Making sure their fed, walked, groomed, and cleaning up any messes/ their environment. In addition always making sure they have access to clean drinking water and providing plenty of playtime and attention. I occasionally take care of a family friend’s dog who has arthritis. I help keep her comfortable through gentle massages, giving her medication as directed, and hand-feeding her when necessary. In doing so, I learned to be patient and attentive in caring for an animal's individual needs. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals. I always go the extra mile into taking good care of animals, ensuring their safety, and comfort in the absence of their owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own and doing everything I can to ensure their happiness. I am extremely flexible with regards to my schedule, and can be available for the most part of the day. I wake up early, so feeding and taking the animals for walk won't be a problem at all. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I value their safety, trust, and maintaining a calm and familiar environment for their pet. It is important for me to carefully follow all the instructions concerning their feeding schedule, treatment, taking medication, and other specific care. It goes without saying that I make sure that the pets receive proper meals and have clean water to drink. I also try to keep the house as clean as possible, including litter boxes for cats and any messes that may occur. I also observe the pets to ensure everything seems normal and they’re healthy. I believe that building trust with both pets and owners is essential, I’ll always provide them with updates and photographs about the current condition of the pets. My goal is to make sure their pet is cared for and mostly importantly happy.

“Alliyah did a great job with our furbabies while we were on a 2 week vacation. We appreciate returning to our home and knowing they were cared for. Thank you!”
