House Sitting Weimar

“When my husband said on Christmas day: “let’s go on a nine day vacation in four days,” my initial reaction was “YAY!” Then my “YAY” quickly turned into an “Oh NO! What about Belle!?!?” That’s when I turned to Rover.com. I found Virginia here, fully background checked, and I sent her a quick message. Her response time was super fast, and she was willing to come over to meet us right away. We met, and as her profile describes, she’s incredibly nice! She took great care of Belle while we were away and was very respectful of our home. She also sent updates and pics on a regular basis. I think Virginia took better care of Belle than I do! I plan on hiring Virginia when we go out of town in the future! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any dog mommy or daddy!”

About: I've been around pets my whole life. When I was little, we had a mini labradoodle named Roxy and a cat named Snickers. I remember watching Cesar Millan and training Roxy to sit and to heel while walking. As I got older, we got more cats that ended up having kittens, and at one point we had 12 cats! Now, when I'm home from college, I help take care of two golden retrievers and a poodle that we have, as well as cats and chickens. I have a big heart for animals. I enjoy petting them, playing fetch with them, making sure they sleep well at night and feel loved. It would be an honor to meet you and take care of your pets! For the summer I'm currently studying for the MCAT which I take end of August. Because of that, my schedule is pretty free, and I don't have any job or school responsibilities to pull me away from giving pets the best care possible. I'm available to hang out with your pets while I'm studying, and make sure they have everything they need. Our poodle at home is getting old and has Cushing's disease, which makes her bones quite fragile. As such, I would prefer to watch your pets at your house. I'm happy to walk or play fetch with dogs, pet your animals, feed them and make sure they have water, and whatever else you do to keep them happy.

About: I have cared for and loved animals since I was a little girl. I was raised in a house with dogs of all types and have continued to have them in my life. I have two rescues, a 6-lb sweet female chihuahua and a 30-lb shy male terrier mix, that love to be around other dogs but who also are submissive to and respect other dogs’ needs for their own space. Having been a zookeeper and vet tech, I have worked on training various critters, as well as cared for elderly animals that need special attention or medications. I work from home with my husband full time and we are always ready for fur baby snuggles on our couch and bed. We also live near a canal and trails, so dog walks are very frequent in our home. Because we live farther away, we are also willing to come do pickups to keep you from having to drive to us, but we understand completely wanting to see where your pups are staying. I work from home nearly full time except Tuesdays, but my husband is home full time everyday. I am an early riser and can do early walks/pickup/potty breaks. As we are working on house projects due to this being a new and first home purchase, we are gone a ton on the weekends too. If I am staying at your home, I can arrange to be there constantly because my husband is home to care for my pups. I don’t have a fenced yard, but live very close to a dog park that is fenced. I also have a canal trail right off my driveway and we walk our two dogs on it all the time. My two babies are extremely sweet and friendly with other dogs. I am an extremely tidy and organized person, so whether your pup stays with me or I come to your home, I can guarantee I will always leave things as good or better than I found them. Also, if you have any last-minute travel issues, I can almost always adapt to host longer to make sure you don’t have to stress about what will happen to your pup.

“Sabrina is a joy to work with to watch our lil dude Nico. Her communication is fantastic and she always went the extra mile to ensure he was well-cared for. We had complete ease of mind being away and knowing that he received lots of love, cuddles and care.”

“Nice to have Meaghan to watch our dog and cats. She is often available for house sitting. She is a good communicator and our pets are happy. House is tidy when we return”

“Having had mixed experiences using Rover, I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Stephen. I’m new to the area, work in an animal related profession and am pretty particular when it comes to my pets care. My dog can be a breeze or a challenge on any given day and Stephen was both understanding and accommodating. Just an all around good guy - professional, flexible and great with communication. It was easy to be away and focus on work, trusting that my girl was in good hands. Thanks Stevie!”

Calone N.

“Lorena was great! She checked in regularly to let us know how things were going. We could tell how happy our beloved boxer, which was a great comfort.”

Nichole M.

“Aiden did a great job watching Lily and our house during a 4 day trip. We felt comfortable during our trip away knowing both were in good hands.”

Carol A.

“Sienna took great care of my house for 3 days. I have a large property with lots of plants, a large dog, and two cats. Everything was in tip top shape when we came home and she took so many cute pics of the animals. We will definitely trust her with our house and our fur babies again!”

About: Not only do I have 10 years of experience of pet sitting, I have experience working with shelter dogs. I’ve been with Placer SPCA as a volunteer for many years. I work with fearful, excitable, shy and even reactive dogs on a weekly basis. I make sure to give them the best care I can provide. I have plenty of free time and my shelter schedule is very flexible! I spend most of my time caring for pets or working with animals. I am someone that you can contact last minute for pet sitting! I will make sure that your pet gets all the love, care and attention your best friend could possibly need. I provide mostly overnight care, in which I make sure your pup is cared for in the same way you do every day. Building trust is very important to me, I’ll make sure to send pictures of your dog (or other animals) along with a report of how they are doing and any other info you may need.

“Dillon was amazing with our girls. Not only did she send photos and updates but she took them on several adventures while we were away. We arrived home to a clean home and two very happy dogs. I will absolutely be reaching out in the future next time we head out of town!”

“Ben was really great with our two energetic doodles. He sent videos at least once a day and was patient and confident in handling our blind 2 year old pup. And our place looked great when we got home which we really appreciated. We will definitely have Ben back and highly recommend him to others looking for a reliable and experienced pet sitter.”

About: I have taken my mother's lab to trips to the groomer as well as getting her to be patient during bath time. I also taught her to wait for her food to be poured before eating, taught her a few tricks such as, sitting, speaking, and how to walk beside me appropriately on a leash without dragging. I only work part-time for the rest of the year, so my schedule is quite available. I have availability Mondays - Thursdays all day. I can also do overnight stays as well! I have my senior cat roam anywhere in the house, he is mainly outside. However, due to his old age, he is fragile and I don't want to change routine too much, he also needs lots of my attention and affection while I am home. I am willing to come to you instead! reducing the hassle of having to drop-off!

“Anna was fantastic and took such good care of my dog, Bean. He's not the easiest dog in his old age, so I'm so grateful to her.”

Nathan G.

“Mikayla has been outstanding with our two GSD’s! She is very in tune to their separate personalities and is very patient with our baby King, who is shy with new people in his space. I appreciate her patience and advanced knowledge of this breed. We feel at ease and comfortable leaving the boys in her care at our home when we are away.”

Melanie M.

“Whitney was incredibly responsive and easy to book with. Very flexible around a schedule change need. She took amazing care of my boys and home. Couldn't have been pleased with her/her service. Thank you!!”

Nicole S.

“Maryjane did a wonderful job taking care of our two pups while on vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures & followed my crazy dog mom requests. We came home to a clean house & two happy dogs. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future!”

About: I grew up with a family of people and pets. I have always loved animals and always will. Often times my parents would leave the house for a get away. I am an only child so it would always be up to me to watch what was a big part of my life 2 cats and 2 dogs. It was something that was so natural to me being I grew up doing and my parents always trusted me with the duty. As of the moment I live alone with no pets and being lonely, would love to spend some quality time with a furry companion being I'm not allowed to own a pet in the apartment where I live. I have experience with both dogs and cats, small dogs, big dogs or any cat. Thanks.

“Isa took great care of our cat and dog and updated us along the way. Very polite, kind and caring about our animals. Will definitely book again!”

Allison G.

“Bryce was a great dog/house sitter. Chai and Sassy were well cared for and he walked them daily. He also gave Sassy extra walks to burn off some of her energy. We appreciated the daily updates (photos) showing their well being. The dogs seemed contented when we returned home. Bryce arrived on time and kept our house neat and clean. We would definitely hire him again.”
