House Sitting in Waterloo

“Martika handled my needy huskies well, particularly my younger rescue with more challenging counter-swiping habits! It was nice to know they were in good hands while I was out of the country for almost two weeks!”

“Heather did a fantastic job house- and dog-sitting for us over a long weekend. Our dogs were well taken care of, happy, and relaxed when we came home. She sent several pictures while we were away, which gave us great peace of mind. Heather followed all care instructions perfectly, including giving medication as needed. She left the house spotless — everything was clean and in great shape. She was also super easy to schedule with and communicate with throughout. We’d definitely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible pet sitter!”

“Mary went above and beyond- she showed that she genuinely cared for our dog, Max. He was safe and happy! We highly recommend Mary to care for your dog. Just don’t take our spot! 😂”

“I just moved to South Carolina a month ago and had to be away a couple of days this past weekend. I was quite anxious having to find someone to stay in my home and take care of my sweet, Nala. She is older, is a rescue, is a large dog, and the move was alot for her. I arranged a meet with Jerry and I was at ease right away; more importantly, Nala was at ease right away. I think dogs sense immediately if a person is a good fit or not. The day I had to leave, Jerry showed up on time (a bit early, actually, which I truly appreciated) and Nala was very excited to see him. Jerry sent many pictures and texts about how things were going over the two days, let me know when he had to leave for awhile and communicated when he was back. Nala needs alot of love and Jerry was attentive and very willing to give affection to her. The stay could not have gone better. Jerry was also very respective of my home and took good care of everything while I was gone. I highly recommend Jerry and am grateful I found him on Rover.”

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including owning multiple dogs of my own and helping care for neighbors’ dogs. I currently have three dogs and understand how important routines, attention, and communication are for both pets and owners. I treat every dog like my own and pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, and any pet care needed throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable in their home. I provide attentive care, maintain cleanliness, and communicate with updates so owners feel at ease.

“So glad we found Kristen G! It was the first time we’ve left our beagle rescue overnight and we were anxious about how she might handle us being gone. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Kristen. She’s the best and sent us pictures daily to put us at ease. Lucky loved her and all the attention she received. I’m not sure she missed us at all! We’ll definitely be calling on Kristen again! ??”
