House Sitting in Wantage

“Savana was great with our pups, giving them all the attention they needed and then some! We didn’t have to worry. They were in their home and loved for 9 days and we appreciate all she did! Looking forward to next time! 💕”

“That’s such a sweet detail — here’s the updated review with that added in: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She was absolutely wonderful with Ozzie, Molly, and Pita. Her calm, low-key energy was just what they needed. When I got home, everyone was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She even took the time to run water for Pita, which he loves. It was such a thoughtful touch! It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. I’ll definitely be using her again.”

“We had Grayson stay in our home when we went on vacation for a week, and she took such good care of our dog, 2 cats, and fish. She checked in with us everyday to update us on how everything was going. Our dog, Pippa, has separation anxiety and for the first couple of days she wasn’t eating great, one time didn’t want to go outside for her walk, and was generally standoffish. Grayson was quick to let us know that she seemed to be having an hard time adjusting, so we were able to advise her on how she could try to make our pup more comfortable. With Grayson’s gentle encouragement and mindfulness to her anxiety triggers, she was able to bring Pippa’s anxiety down and helped her adjust to our absence relatively quickly. We were so happy when Grayson told us that they had started to bond, even having some snuggle time! She was able to take Pippa on some long walks/runs (which we had previously okayed), when our dog typically doesn’t trust relative strangers enough to leave our property with them for walks. I wanted to share all of this to convey how wonderful Grayson is with animals, as evidenced by the bond she was able to create with our anxious pup. It’s so important to have a sitter that can put you at ease when you are entrusting them with your home and beloved pets, and Grayson did just that—and beyond. She immediately let us know when one of our cats knocked something over and broke it, and even offered to replace it for us. She is just a very kind, thoughtful, and respectful person in general, and we definitely got that impression from her upon our very first meeting. We are just thrilled to have found her and will continue to use her services for a long time to come. Grayson, we genuinely appreciate everything and are sending you the biggest thank you!!!”

About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was three years old. I've always loved them! I've worked at a dog boarding kennel for over a year now and I love it! Before that, I worked at a farm with lots of different animals and I've watched/walked dogs on the side for a long time now. I also have experience with cats as well! I'd love to meet your four-legged friends and family! I work part-time at a dog boarding kennel and my hours are different sometimes. I'm either working 7am - 12:30pm OR 3pm - 7pm. I usually work the afternoon shift (3 - 7). Since I have worked with animals a lot, especially dogs, I definitely consider myself pretty educated. Like I said, I do not offer boarding in my own home but I am more than happy to come to yours and offer my services! If you have any questions about anything, always feel free to contact me! :)

About: I have two dogs and 2 cats of my own! I have been volunteering at Father Johns Animal House for a little over 3 years now dealing with all sorts of cats and dogs. I am in school for professional dog grooming. I am currently working part-time while regularly going to school. I like to take care of pets whenever I have the free time! I am willing to work for someone who is flexible and understanding of my schedule and conflicts I will play with your pets, feed them, walk them, and make them feel loved and comforted. I love keeping pets happy and warm, it’s the best feeling in the world!

“Ryan did an excellent job watching our two dogs this past weekend! They were both happy and tired when we got home. He sent lots of pictures too. You could tell he is very passionate about animals. We will definitely be using Ryan again for any pet sitting needs.”

I have years of experience on Rover sitting hundreds of different kinds of dogs. Embracing all different breeds and personalities that they have to offer. I will make sure your dog feels at home with on time meals, a comfortable schedule, and free roam of my home they might not want to leave.

About: I have plenty of experience taking care of both cats and dogs and can provide exemplary references! Large or small, I'll care for them all.

About: I’ve been certified as a Vet Assistant, I am also currently in school for my license as a Vet Technician. I’m very confident that I will be a safe environment for your furry friends! I’m currently a student so weekends will be more manageable for me, In case of any emergencies of course I can make accommodations during weekdays. I’ve had more than 11 animals my whole life growing up (5 dogs) (4 cats) (2 two fish) I would say I’m extremely experienced in caring for animals. Professionally my experience would be under a year as I am still in school, I live on 67 acres and a large yard which will give your dog enough room to run with the wind and enjoy the fresh air.

About: Long-term animal owner, I responsible, caring, pay close attention to detail, I like to establish trust and mutual respect with animals, with being attentive to their needs, and responding accordingly, but not spoiling! I'm newly relocated to Boston after graduate school, looking for jobs in research and science, so I have plenty of time to care for pets. Keeping my rates low because I will prefer house sits: pet care in exchange for accommodation, as I'm also looking for apartments in the area, so getting to know different areas of Boston is a huge plus!

“Kimberly was wonderful with our two pups Teddi and Bear! She was so knowledgeable with our 9 week old puppy. She updated us very frequently and was very professional. Thank you so much!”

“Sarah was excellent taking care of our dogs Rex and Bronty. She stayed in our home and when we returned the house was spotless, which we truly appreciated. We experienced an extreme winter storm during our trip that caused multiple flight cancellations, and Sarah was more than accommodating with our extended return and a true all-star in a heavy snowfall. That flexibility and understanding made a stressful situation so much easier. Leaving our 15 year old senior dog is always scary, but Sarah did a wonderful job caring for Rex and making sure his needs were met all while keeping our higher energy dog Bronty calm and comfortable. Her communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she was never hesitant to reach out with questions or updates. We felt confident and at ease knowing our dogs and home were in such great hands. We would recommend Sarah for dog sitting wholeheartedly to anyone. We will definitely be using her services in the future and are so happy to have found her. 
Thank you Sarah!”

About: Can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶 Been a sitter on Rover for over two years & been watching dogs for over 6 years. Have hosted all types of dogs and completed many successful overnight boardings, doggy day cares, drop ins & walks! I’ll treat your pup like my own & their safety is top priority. I’m a go-to sitter for friends & family pets, they rely on me for everything from walking, playing, feeding & more! I have two pups of my own who I have trained and raised and who LOVE to meet and play with new furry friends😊 I work remote and have a flexible workday, with plenty of time for walks and playtime and to be attentive to your pets needs at all times! My house is totally pet friendly and safe for lots of playtime. We keep our area clean, tidy, and free of anything harmful to pets. We have lots of space for lounging and playtime, including a yard. I have a crate if needed and indoor fences to block off any areas of the home. Our neighborhood is safe and quiet, there is not much vehicle traffic around and there is a trail close by for walks.

“I highly recommend Brenda & Francis! Our dogs took to them right away! That says a lot because one of our dogs can be a bit temperamental when you first meet him, however, he was seemingly happy and comfortable! What a relief! Thank you Brenda & Francis!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life and currently have two dogs (a 9-year-old Shih Tzu mix and a 9-year-old Husky) and three cats of my own. I also work at a dog boarding and training facility (since July 18, 2025), where I care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages every day — so being around lots of different personalities is totally normal for me! At work and at home, I help with walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure every pup is happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m also experienced with giving supplements and medications if needed and sticking closely to each pet’s routine. What sets me apart is how patient and attentive I am. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy dog who needs reassurance, or a senior pet who needs a slower pace and extra care, I make sure each pet feels loved and stress-free. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I work full-time, so my availability changes a bit throughout the week, but I always try to be upfront and flexible where I can! My typical schedule looks like this: Sundays: 7–3 Mondays: 12–8 Tuesdays: varies Wednesdays: 12–8 Thursdays: 12–8 Fridays: usually off (sometimes 12–8) Saturdays: off On workdays, I’m usually available early mornings and later in the evenings, and on my days off I have much more flexibility. If you’re not sure if your dates will work with my schedule, feel free to message me — I’m always happy to see if we can make something work! I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I’m very mindful about keeping doors and gates secure, using proper leashes and harnesses, and always supervising pets so they’re never in unsafe situations. Because I work in a boarding and training facility, I’m used to following safety routines and paying attention to behavior and stress levels. I can tell when a pet needs a break, a calm moment, or extra reassurance, and I always adjust my care to what they need in that moment. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet can relax and feel like they’re in good hands while you’re away.

“My two Jack Russell’s had a great time with Shannon while she did a 5 day house sit with them. Shannon regularly kept us up to date on their wellbeing with pictures and texts. She also was able to help us out for an extra day when our flight was delayed returning home and ensured the dogs were still taken care of while we were delayed getting home. The house looked great when we got back and we had two happy pups. Thanks again Shannon!”
