House Sitting Waverly

“As usual, Akiko did a great job house and pet sitting for us. Sully and Leo enjoy having her around and appreciate her attentiveness, walks and cuddles. Akiko is communicative and recently, even helped give Sully medication with no issues. Thanks as always!”

About: 🐾 New to Rover! First 3 Clients Receive a Discounted Rate! 🐾 I’m an experienced international pet sitter, entrepreneur, and lifelong dog lover who brings warmth, professionalism and exceptional organization to every home! My pet-care experience spans multiple countries, including Cambodia and Mexico. While managing a guesthouse on Koh Rong Island, Cambodia, caring for the resident cats and dogs was part of my responsibilities. I’ve also provided overnight house sitting in Mexico, including five days independently caring for Gaia, a large dog in San Cristóbal de las Casas. We enjoyed hiking together, and I loved making sure she felt happy, safe, and cared for while her owner was away! I’ve also lived with a roommate’s dog for several years and have always had a natural connection with animals. What sets me apart? I’ve managed businesses domestically and internationally and worked professionally in theater management, where reliability, organization, communication and handling unexpected situations were essential. I bring that same professional mindset to caring for your pets and respecting your home. What can your pup expect? Lots of affection, belly rubs, cuddles (when welcomed!), enjoyable walks, companionship and careful attention to their individual routines. What can you expect? A responsible, clean, communicative professional who follows your instructions, maintains your pet’s schedule, keeps your home tidy and happily shares beautiful daily photo updates! As a consultant and creative professional who works virtually, I can bring my work with me, making overnight house sitting a wonderful fit. My goal is simple: For you to enjoy your time away knowing your beloved dog is comfortable, cared for, and in loving hands! 🐶💕 I’m available for overnight pet sitting. As a coach and consultant, most of my work is virtual, so I can work from your home during a stay. This allows me to spend time with your dog while keeping up with my work. We’ll discuss your pet’s routine and my schedule before booking to make sure it’s a good fit. I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, walking, and household routines closely, keep doors secure, and use a leash on walks. I’m clean and respectful of your home, and I’ll give your dog affection while respecting their comfort and boundaries. Before each stay, we’ll review care instructions and emergency contacts. I’ll send photos and updates while you’re away if you like.

“Dawn has taken care of Lucy and Leeloo for the second time when we were out of town. Knowing that she’s housesitting and taking care of the pups gives us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“Laura’s first time dog sitting for us went smoothly. This was an overnight trip. She sent us photo updates and was responsive when we texted to check in. When we got home, the house was tidy, their water bowls were filled, and Cannoli and Da Vinci were in good spirits. We’ve booked Laura for an extended stay while we’re on an international trip. Thanks, Laura!”

“Dale was wonderful with our fur fam of three. He provided us with updates and pics. So nice to have someone we trust with not only with our fur fam but our house as well. Thank you Dale!”

“Cesar was amazing! We had a last minute cancellation prior to an international trip and were totally freaked out and he immediately put our minds at ease from the first meeting. He kept us updated with photos and left our place impeccable. Sunshine seemed to warm right up to him. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and level of energy, so I always adapt my care to their individual needs. I’m very patient, organized, and dependable, and I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions when needed. I also make sure pets receive plenty of affection, attention, and companionship so they can feel relaxed and happy in my care. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and at ease, so I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and thoughtful care. I'm usually home in the mornings until 9:30 AM and after 4 PM. I attend school from 10 AM to 3 PM, but outside those hours, I'm home and happy to spend time caring for your pets! I live in a small but cozy studio, perfect for small pets. I would love to have a furry companion while I study! I also live right across from Lake Merritt and love taking dogs for walks around the lake, where there's plenty of space to explore and enjoy the outdoors.

“Thuy was an awesome dog and house sitter. She sent pictures regularly (without me even asking) which helped out my mind at ease. She also sent regular updates on how my pup was doing. She also left recommendations for me regarding my pup based on her experience with him. I would definitely recommend Thuy and book her again!!!”

About: I have cared for multi-pet households. I have experience feeding, brushing, changing litter, and administering medication. I love animals of all sorts. I am also good with them. I am good at reading their body language, and a lot of them gravitate towards me for whatever reason. They tend to be comfortable with my presence. I am between jobs at the moment, so that means I am somewhat more flexible to work around your schedule. I am a little bit busy with stuff in my personal life, and obviously I have boundaries about when I can and can't be at your home and how much work I want to take on, but the lack of structure in my life right now means we have more options for how I can show up for your pets. I am not in school either at the moment. I am not planning to have this be my only source of income, but for now I am flexible. I can't have pets come to my apartment; it is too small and I don't live on the bottom floor so it would be too much of a hassle to take them outside. I can only come to your home. I am very respectful of boundaries and property when I enter someone else's home. I will pay close attention to your instructions about how to care for your pets and any important other details I need to know. I am responsible and detail oriented, so you can trust me in your home and with your animals. I care that my clients feel secure with me being there while they are away.

“Emily was great with our 7 month old puppy. She arrived right on time, communicated great before and during the booking. Emily was respectful with the place and was so nice to us and Tango. Happy to request Emily to take care of our dog again.”

“Melina was an incredible dog sitter for my pup! She is highly responsive, thoughtful, and followed all of my instructions. It was my first time leaving my dog over the weekend using Rover and it was a great experience! My dog became quickly comfortable and relaxed with her and she made sure to send tons of text and photo updates throughout the weekend. Thank you again, Melina!”

About: I've been working with dogs of a variety of ages and breeds to add to my income, providing house sitting and dogwalking. I'm happy to help with routine duties and can discuss your pet's needs. I have a part-time remote schedule and am interested in discussing drop-ins or walks from 10-2 on weekdays. I can rearrange work to provide flexible support on request. I can provide drop-ins or walks, according to client instructions. I am not providing care in my own home currently, but I can travel to clients.

“Mish was great with my cat Dilly for a two week house sit! This was the first time I’ve left him for longer than a weekend, and I knew he’d be in good hands after meeting. They sent lots of photos and updates, and my apartment was well taken care of, too. Thanks again!”

“This was our first time booking with Vanclee and it was a great experience from start to finish. He responded quickly to our initial message and made setting up the meet and greet very easy. He was very prompt for the meet and greet as well as on the day of sitting and key handoff. He followed all directions and kept our apartment very clean. Most importantly, he took excellent care of Hampton and Neko. We could tell from the photos and updates he sent that they were comfortable and well cared for, and when we arrived home they were happy and completely themselves. We really appreciated his calm and chill vibe, which our pups responded to right away and clearly put them at ease. We are very thankful and will absolutely recommend Vanclee and book with him again.”

“Jess is amazing! Jess did a wonderful job with our three pups. Our dogs are very energetic and have specific needs. Jess did an excellent job making sure they were all well taken care of. Our house was also in excellent condition. 100% recommend working with Jess.”

“Manuel was awesome! He sent tons of photos and videos of our dogs on walks, at the park, lounging, and eating. He was also very respectful of our space. It was so great to know that our dogs were in loving hands while we were away. Will definitely book again!”

About: My family and I have a love for animals. We have gone through many different species of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and birds. Apart from my family, I’ve helped house-sit and cared for my friend’s dog for a few years now whenever she’s away. During that time, I’ve handled daily walks, feeding, and making sure the dog feels safe and comfortable at home. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra availability to care for and walk dogs. I’m able to provide consistent attention and accommodate different walking times throughout the week. I like to follow their normal routine to keep them comfortable. I make sure they are fed on time, get regular walks, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention and playtime.

“Ryan is an exceptional pet sitter. He’s professional diligent friendly and he loves animals. Our dog Sammy is very particular about whom he likes and Sammy loves Ryan. It’s very hard for me to leave my dog when we travel. However I never worry when Ryan is caring for him. When we return it’s obvious Sammy has been well cared for and well loved by Ryan.”
