House Sitting Waverly

About: I've always had dogs & cats growing up. Recently, my husband & I rescued a puppy from North Carolina, named Mack. He is the light of our life. In July of 2025, we had to put our 14 year old dog, Roxie, down.. This was very depressing as she was the best girl. I love to be around dogs, and want to ensure they get the best care, whether that be walking or playing ball/fetch, or just snuggles. I hope you reach out for any needs! I currently work full time about 20 minutes from my home, which allows me a greater radius to care for your loved one. I work M-F 8am-4pm (roughly), so I am available for any after work or weekend assistance. I have a fully fenced in yard for my dog to play in. We play ball multiple times throughout the day. He is up to date on his vaccines, and we ensure that he receives any care he might need. I am trained to notice any significant behaviors or concerns, and will address this ASAP.

“Kristin is the BEST!! Our 2 dogs loved her from the minute they met her. I felt very comfortable having her stay in our home for a week with Buster and Honey. She texted me several times a day and sent pictures too. She is very professional and was extremely respectful of our home. We will definitely have Kristin take care of Buster and Honey again!!”

“Jessica and Matthew were wonderful! My dog is an anxious boy who doesn’t warm up to people easily. They were patient and kind and as a result Astro adored them! They were extremely courteous house guests. We will definitely be using them in the future”

“Kelly is amazing she has watched three dogs over the years for me… most recently Dude a young border collie who she takes for walks and cuddles with. She sends photos and communicates regularly! Highly recommend!!!”

About: I love all animals and would love to help someone take care of their animals. I am able to walk dogs, to feed you animal. Or even just to come in and play with your animals. Whatever you need to be done i can help! I do have a full time job so it will depend on my work if i am flexible to stop by! I love animals and i am willing to help out anyone who is busy or working or out of town to help to take care of your animal when needed. I do need at least a few hours in advance to be asked to make sure I am not working! thank you for taking the time to read about me! I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of time! I am available on the weekends as well! Just need a few hours notice! I will ask you to let me know there routine as I want to keep them on the same structure! Things like when they wake up, usually eat, take any meds and cage.

“Amelia took great care of our dog Buddy while we were on a 2 week vacation! She met with us twice, once for a meet and greet and once for a house tour. She is a lovely girl. I would recommend her to anyone! Buddy misses her.”

“Staci was wonderful with all three of my babies! She administered meds to two of the three and handled the detailed care instructions with ease. Staci provided lots of photos and updates and her communication while I was away was wonderful. Would highly recommend Staci again for dog and cat sitting!”

About: Aside from my own pets over the years, I’ve also provided care and comfort to pets of family and friends. Whether in my home or yours, I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I know how hard it is to find a safe place for our fur babies when we have to travel. Our pittie mutt, Hank, can’t wait to meet your pups! I recently retired after 36 years of teaching and have lots of free time to care for your fur babies. We have a large fenced in deck (and pool for our swimmers). Our 12 acres are not fenced but are cleared for easy walks, on or off lead as desired. Our home sits well off the main road. We’re not opposed to taking pups for rides in our side by side. House trained dogs have freedom in our home. We’re suckers who allow pets on furniture and provide all the love and cuddles needed to make them comfortable. We have plenty of room for crates if your pup is more comfortable in one. In your home, I will follow your house rules. Depending on location, I can come and visit or stay overnight. I can bring mail and packages in for you and take care of your plants. 🪴

“Another perfect stay. We trusted Kayla with our kids for eight days while we were out of the country. She sent us regular updates, pictures, and videos and monitored one dog who had a hot spot (and is difficult to deal with). Always a pleasure, we're so comfortable leaving them with her and so happy she was available for the time we planned our vacation.”

“I am always nervous to leave my pets with someone else but Angie was absolutely wonderful! She updated me daily and went above and beyond to make sure my babies were all happy and well taken care of.”

About: My family is a dog family through and through. I grew up with two dogs in the household at all times, and the rule still stands. Animals have always been a part of my life no matter the lens you look through. Living in a friendly neighborhood allowed me to care for other dogs since I was 12. From sitting, to walking, to simply feeding, I was normally the one to do it! I am an energetic 22 year old who adores playing with any and every furry friend and to get paid doing it!? Sign me up!! Currently, I am an upcoming senior at Bloomsburg University. I am studying Secondary Education with a concentration in English so there is not much work for me to do in the summer since school is out and there is no work in the districts. I am heavily available and will be more than happy to take last minute scheduling if it's an emergency or desperation - go on that date! I will always treat your animals like my own. They will get plenty of loving and I'm expecting some slobbery kisses in return. I don't find much gross in regards to sickness, medical conditions, excitement pees, or simply slobber because I have surely seen it all. I am also very understanding with any rules you have for your pets and will do anything I can to abide by them. But if it means skimping out of treats then that may be a little tough. Your furry friend is of upmost importance when I am with them so I swear to never put them in harms way (ie. sketchy roads, carelessness in and out of the house, pulling on their collar when walking, etc.).

“Mika housesat for 10 days and took great care of our dog and two cats. We came home to a clean and tidy house and happy pets. Mika was very communicative and responsive and all around did a great job. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”

About: Hello! my name is James and I love animals, specifically dogs. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I've been pet sitting for neighbors since I was 12, and my mom routinely has me take care of her two pups when she is out of town. I recently helped my girlfriend with a pet sitting job and I loved it, and the dog loved me, so that's what brought me here :) I'm currently in between jobs, so I am completely available. I will be out of town September 12th-15th, and this may change soon, but in the meantime time, feel free to reach out for any days needed! I make sure that the dog(s) are fed twice a day, or when requested by the owner, and I am always on top of making sure their water is clean and filled. I will also walk the dogs early in the morning, or later at night, as the pavement can get hot this time of year.

About: I grew up in the woods surrounded by a constant menagerie of beloved animals, from kittens and hamsters and goldfish to an energetic black lab and her tumbling litter of puppies, to parakeets and cockatiels and the wild baby hawks my mother rescued. Though I never had a snake growing up, I lived with two ball pythons in college and learned about reptiles petsitting for iguanas. Because I travel regularly, I’m not in a position to have pets of my own, and so petsitting is not only a way to earn extra income, but also to fulfill my longing to connect with animals. Life is better with creature friends! I’ve been petsitting for 21 years, and I have experience with a wide variety of animal, both long- and short-term stays, and with boarding cats, dogs, and snakes at my home for weeks at a time. I’ve provided long-term care for kitties and pooches who need diabetes injections twice a day, and I’m no stranger to following *very specific protocols* to get an aged friend to take their daily pills. I’ve cared for nervous nellies and pandemonius puppies and cats who need to chase lots of things in order to stay sane. I enjoy learning your pets’ favorite games to play, and I’m also experienced with supporting any training and boundaries you’re working on with them. I understand that when I’m petsitting, it’s like nannying children (which I’ve also done for over a decade!) I’m committed to providing your pets with safety and care, as well as showing them love, energy, and attention while helping them navigate what it’s like to miss their favorite human. I treat petsitting as a great responsibility, not only regarding practical logistics, but also for your pets’ enrichment and quality of life! I work primarily as a grant writer and non-profit consultant, and so I have a flexible daily schedule. I often work from home, which means I’m able to spend time with your pets throughout the day! I love walking pets and giving them (and me!) exercise, and I’m able to do so as often as your pet requires. I’m a professional musician and I have performances from time to time in the evenings or brunch time, but I’m able to plan my schedule around your pets’ needs. Since I’m flexible with time, I’m not overwhelmed by complex feeding schedules or rituals. I love the psychological richness of caring for new and different types of animals, and I’m a quick study to learn new protocols. I’m happy to learn your pets’ rhythms, and match their routines as closely as possible while I’m with them. I have many years of experience with overnight gigs in other people’s homes, and I deeply respect the responsibility of caring for someone else’s space. Since I’ve been petsitting for so long, I’m very familiar with keeping a small footprint and cleaning up thoroughly after myself. I also have experience caring for plants and other home maintenance needs while petsitting, anything that will put your mind at ease while you travel.

“Cate was so great with my dogs and cat while I was away on a weekend trip! She sent updates, communicated well, and when I returned home the animals were content and the house was just as I left it, if not slightly cleaner! We would absolutely book with Cate again!”

About: I've always been someone who naturally cares for both people and animals. My background in hospitality has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to individual needs, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each stay. My goal is to make you feel completely at ease while giving your pet the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I enjoy making sure pets stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I understand how important consistency is and will work with you to accommodate your pet's schedule and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel happy and secure. In your home, I'll follow your care instructions closely, keep your space clean and respectful, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. During walks, I stay aware of our surroundings, keep pets securely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a safe enclosed area, and prioritize their well-being at all times. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Brookline did an amazing job taking care of my fur babies! Will definitely be using them again in the future!”

“Rachel was an outstanding dog sitter for our separation anxiety prone pup. Junie was taken on many adventures and treated with care and compassion so she was happy and comfortable while we were away. 10/10 would highly recommend for any of your dog sitting needs.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, whether it be dogs, cats, or chickens. I’ve been the go-to sitter in my neighborhood for the past several years, providing boarding, overnight care, and potty breaks. I have experience dealing with all kinds of pets and am frequently called to sit for one dog that is unable to tolerate anyone but myself and his owners in his home. I strive to make every visit something your little family members look forward to as the highlight of their day. I am currently a full-time student commuting between my home and Ithaca college. With only a few classes per day and access to a car, I am available to check on your pets several times throughout the day and provide overnight care every weekday. I have experience caring for all types of pets overnight, whether they’re one for nighttime zoomies or nervous nightmares. I’m prepared to accommodate your pets with anything they need to make their time with me enjoyable. During the day, I will be able to provide long walks, frequent playtimes, and transport to the dog park or any other fenced in areas, if that’s what your pet likes most.

About: My 9 year-old black lab, Luna, and I are traveling around the East Coast (around NJ and PA at the moment) and house sitting while we find a new place to settle. I have worked as a dog trainer and groomer for 3 years. I also have my own business called “Heeling Dog Reiki”, which I can book outside of Rover. Reiki is an ancient healing technique used for centuries to promote healing and well-being. My specialty is working with senior dogs and pups who are experiencing illness (arthritis chemo) or just need a little extra TLC. I have also worked with dogs who experience fear. Either way, I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved ones! This will be my full time gig at the moment. Happy to become a recurring person in your pups life! Structure is good for the pups! We want your dog to enjoy all aspects of our home, but if they are feeling overwhelmed or anxious and need some alone time we have a room for them. I set my office up with a little couch and a dog bed and it’s perfect for a little alone time if they need it.
