House Sitting Waverly

“Akiko was incredible! She watched our senior pup for over 10 days in our home over the holidays. She kept us updated daily and took good care of our home. She was attentive to our senior dogs needs including slow walks, feeding schedule, and even carrying up stairs. We can’t thank her and recommend her enough!”

“Ty loves Maya and she is reliable and flexible!”

“Christina saved the day with a last-minute change in request for dog sitting - she went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day before and to ensure that she had all the information needed to give Odelia the best care. So grateful!”

Colette G.

“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!”

“Agnes was taking care of my cat Fritz for a week and it was the first time I booked them. I was very happy with them and my cat too. Agnes is very responsive and they gave me every day feedback. Definitely can recommend them.”

About: I’ve cared for pups for friends, family, and neighbors, and have also had the joy of fostering dogs. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and giving them plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I will send all of my clients high-quality (and cute!) daily photo/video updates 🎞️ My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting throughout the week, and most weekends as well. I’m in class Wednesday evenings from 6–9pm and one weekend a month, but otherwise I have plenty of availability to spend time with your pup. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my 6-year-old Frenchie, who gets along great with other dogs. I live in a smaller space so I will only take 1 booking at a time for boarding. I’m an anxious pet parent myself so I strive to give other humans peace of mind via detailed updates.

About: Leaving your pet with someone new takes trust. My goal is to help you feel informed and reassured while giving your pet patient, attentive care that respects their personality, routine, and boundaries. My hands-on experience includes two and a half years caring for my rescued Chihuahua mix and two cats. I also volunteered socializing cats at a shelter when I was younger and, more recently, volunteered regularly at a farm animal sanctuary from April through October. There, I helped with feeding, fresh water, cleaning, preparing barns, and evening routines. I’m especially comfortable with cats and understand that building trust often means offering quiet company, respecting their space, and letting them choose when to interact. Caring for my own sensitive, reactive small dog has also taught me to watch body language closely, stay aware of my surroundings, and create distance from situations that make him uncomfortable. I treat every pet as an individual. Whether they enjoy sniff-filled walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I take time to learn what helps them feel comfortable. I let them set the pace for affection and interaction rather than forcing a connection. I’ve been vegan for seven years as part of my personal commitment to animal welfare. That commitment includes respecting each pet’s dietary needs—I’m comfortable handling meat-based food and following their established feeding routine. You can expect clear communication, thoughtful updates, and photos while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets and learn what helps them feel safe, understood, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan walks, drop-ins, and house sits around your pet’s routine. For new clients, I prefer at least three days’ notice so we have time to arrange a meet-and-greet and make sure we’re a good fit before confirming a booking. During house sits, I stay overnight but may leave during the day for other pet-care bookings, errands, and personal commitments. Before booking, we’ll discuss your pet’s usual schedule, potty-break needs, and how long they can comfortably be left alone, so you know what to expect. I take a careful, detail-oriented approach to caring for both your pets and your home. At our meet-and-greet, I’ll ask about feeding instructions, walking routines, behavior, triggers, household rules, and emergency contacts. I welcome detailed care notes and will follow the plan we agree on. On walks, I’ll stay aware of our surroundings, keep your dog leashed, and avoid unfamiliar dogs or greetings unless we’ve specifically discussed them. I pay attention to body language and give pets space when they show discomfort rather than pushing them into an interaction. In your home, I’ll be mindful of doors, gates, and escape risks, keep feeding and litter areas tidy, and respect your instructions about access to rooms and outdoor spaces. For cats, I’ll offer attention without forcing handling or disturbing them when they need space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes about how your pet is doing and communicate promptly if I notice a change in their behavior, appetite, or bathroom habits. My aim is to maintain the familiar care they’re used to while giving them patience and support during your time away.

“We asked Hong to care for our two dachshunds at our home for 2 weeks. Like many people on Rover, she clearly loves dogs, but even more, she was an incredible caregiver to our beloved pets. They had multiple daily walks and play time and outdoor time sitting in the sun or the yard. One of our dogs has had spine surgery and is not as mobile as he used to be. She was so patient with him and his extremely slow walking, reactive barking, and need for regular potty breaks. She gave them terrific care and even made some suggestions for their diet. In addition to be an excellent dog lover and carer, she is an excellent communicator and very professional, sharing photos, videos, and updates that let us know our dogs were doing well. She also took great care of our home while we were away, even helping water our plants. We give Hong our highest recommendation.”

“Meshaal took great care of our 55 lb pup and our cat in our home while we were on vacation! They were thorough in preparing for the job, very communicative while we were away, and followed all of our feeding and exercise instructions. We would definitely have Meshaal sit for us again!”

Marcus V.

“Josie was amazing and totally saved the day when our other pet sitter fell through! She took great care of our pup who is reactive / can be a bit of a menace - sent plenty of photos - and was very communicative and professional. We’d be thrilled to work with her again.”

About: have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both being a dog owner and pet sitting for others. I have a 3-year-old Miniature Poodle who I have raised and cared for since he was young, so l understand how important it is to provide dogs with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and a consistent routine. Through caring for my own dog, I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic grooming, potty breaks, and making sure dogs feel comfortable and safe. I have also cared for other dogs for friends and family, which has helped me become comfortable working with dogs that have different personalities, routines, and needs. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. I'm patient, attentive, and will make sure your pet receives plenty of affection. playtime, and supervision while you're away. I'm also happy to follow any special routines or instructions you have so your dog feels as comfortable as possible. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine because I have a 3-year-old Miniature Poodle of my own. I make time throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to adjust my routine based on your pet’s normal schedule and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while they are with me. I live in an apartment and make safety and supervision a priority at all times. Dogs are always leashed when leaving the apartment and carefully supervised in hallways, elevators, and outdoor areas. I make sure each pet has a comfortable and clean space to relax, along with regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. Since I also have a friendly Miniature Poodle, I would make sure dogs are introduced carefully and that everyone is comfortable around each other. I’m also happy to follow each owner’s feeding schedule, walking routine, house rules, and any special care instructions so their pet can feel as close to their normal routine as possible.

“Nicole was a dream dog sitter for our anxious girl. So calm and loving, Zola was instantly comfortable with her. She sent sweet photos and helpful updates; we could not have been more confident in the care. And, I swear, she left our home cleaner than when she arrived (including stripping the bed, washing the sheets and remaking it - totally not necessary but so thoughtful.). We can’t wait to invite her back and recommend her enthusiastically!”

Beth S.

“Karrin did a fabulous job watching our dogs for a weekend! Our senior dog in particular can be challenging with food, and Karrin did an amazing job persisting with feedings to get her to eat enough calories each day. She is highly communicative and was left our house super tidy. I highly recommend Karrin for pet and house sitting!”

Emily W.

“Mish was responsive, detailed, and provided an excellent level of care for dogs, cats and chickens (during a heatwave even). They flowed instructions to the letter. Will definitely book again and can highly recommend.”

“Charlii was so amazing with my big pup Blue and older cat! She took Blue on so many adventures, communicated with me daily with lots of details and photos, and left my house sparkly clean. Would definitely have her house sit again!”

Laura R.

“Laura was great! Spent the day with our new puppy who was experiencing some separation anxiety while we worked. Responded to our request quickly and was able to accommodate us on less than 24 hours notice. Ember took to her immediately. Will definitely book Laura again.”
