About: Certified in Pet CPR & First Aid 🐾 Thanks for clicking on my profile! I believe house-sitting is fundamentally an act of stewardship. My goal is simple: when you walk back through your front door, everything feels exactly as it should. Your home is peaceful, your pets are happy, and you can tell they have been genuinely cared for. 🐾 Every animal has its own personality, and earning their trust is one of my favorite parts of this work. 🐾 As a home-owner myself, I understand how to manage properties, schedules and routines and how to create a warm, safe environment for your pets. 🐾 Because I work remotely as an author and book editor, I’m able to provide a steady, reassuring presence throughout the day rather than simply stopping in for visits. Whether I’m editing a manuscript from your dining table or writing with a cat asleep beside me, your pets will enjoy quiet companionship and consistent routines. 🐾 I’m new to Rover, but I have more than twenty verified five-star pet-sitting reviews on Trusted Housesitters. Many of my previous Trusted Housesitters clients have been gracious enough to upload their testimonials to Rover. 🐾 Most of my clients are academics, researchers, physicians, writers, and other professionals who travel for conferences, sabbaticals, research, or extended holidays. They aren’t simply looking for someone to feed the pets—they’re looking for complete peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾 Over the past several years I’ve cared for homes and animals in more than ten countries. My experience ranges from city apartments in Boston, Amsterdam, and Paris to historic homes, farms, country cottages, and rural retreats worldwide. 🐾 I’ve cared for rescue animals, blind cats, elderly dogs, anxious pets during thunderstorms and fireworks, post-surgical kittens, and animals requiring medication. I’ve even helped a mother cat give birth. 🐾 Long-term house sitting often involves much more than pet care, and I’m comfortable handling the unexpected with calm professionalism. I’ve managed realtor showings while homeowners were abroad, coordinated with utility workers and neighbors, helped oversee an Airbnb during a plumbing emergency, cared for animals while owners exhibited artwork at an international art fair, and managed the daily operations of farms and historic homes. I enjoy solving problems quietly before they become worries for the people who have entrusted me with their homes. 🐾 Before becoming an editor, I spent twenty years as the spouse of a U.S. Air Force servicemember, an experience that instilled habits of reliability, discretion, punctuality, cleanliness, and adaptability. Living internationally also taught me how to stay calm in unfamiliar situations and make thoughtful decisions when circumstances change unexpectedly. As a freelance book editor and writer, I work remotely and set my own schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Whether I’m writing from the couch with a cat curled beside me or taking regular breaks for walks, playtime, and companionship, your pets will rarely be left alone for long. Caring for someone’s pet also means caring for their home. After more than twenty successful house sits and dozens of five-star reviews, I’ve developed a reputation for being calm, dependable, tidy, and attentive. I follow routines carefully, communicate promptly, and treat every home with the same respect and care I would hope someone would show mine. My goal is always for owners to return to a happy pet and a home that feels exactly as they left it.

“Cierra was helpful and communicative taking care of my cat!”

Liana B.

“Was incredibly attuned to my lil anxious Winston, provided consistent helpful feedback & was just overall a perfect pet sitter for my baby boy! I was nervous using rover for the first time, and Rachel exceeded my expectations & went above and beyond. Will be working with her again!”

Keelin R.

“Suzete is now officially our cat Micio’s best friend. This was our third booking with Suzete and she is more wonderful every time! She goes above and beyond every visit and is the only person we would be happy leaving Micio with over Christmas! I highly recommend you choose Suzete to look after your pet - you won’t regret it!”

Yutaka O.

“Emily is amazing and truly loved pups. I truly felt so safe having her there and in our home! I’m definitely excited to work with her in the future and I’m super grateful for her.”

Kati F.

“This was our second time booking with Gabi and just like last time, she took such great care of our girls! She was so mindful about making them as comfortable as possible that when one of my cats was feeling a bit shy, Gabi gave her a treat to reintroduce herself. Love the thoughtful and carefulness that Gabi has when checking in on my cats. Will be my go-to sitter from now on!!”

Emily L.

“Stephanie did a great job with my cat Pepper. She was very communicative the entire time and made sure that everything was taken care of while I was away. Thank you so much Stephanie!”

Simon T.

“Serena was super helpful and responsive. She took great pictures and kept us updated all weekend so we had nothing to worry about. Definitely recommend booking with Serena!”

Owen D.

“So wonderful to have met Lynne! She was great with my anxious dogs and I appreciated that she did the meet and greet and got to know them ahead of time! They currently can't be at home alone and so it was great peace of mind to be able to leave them with her. We'll definitely be booking again. Thank you Lynne!”

Yooni K.

“Abby was great with Merlin! She’s incredibly responsive and sent the best playtime pics. Will definitely be reaching out in the future since we’re neighbors too :).”

Michael E.

“I’d absolutely book Hannah again! Both of my cats have multiple medications and she took great care to get everything right. She was even able to give Bodhi his insulin injection on her first night! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos of the cats and photos of their leftover food (particularly helpful for Rosie, as we had just changed her to a new diet). I didn’t worry about the cats once while we were away. I knew they were in good hands!”

Elizabeth N.

“Nate has been awesome with our dog, Sadie. She can be fearful, but it was very clear at the first meeting that she was comfortable with him right away. He’s very attentive and communicative - sends pictures and videos during his visit, which we love. We will be continuing to have him watch Sadie on a regular basis and occasionally day care and overnights!”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from young to old, big to small, lively to mellow, since I was young. I grew up with dogs in the household and moved on to dog-sitting for neighbors and friends. I have experience taking puppies to training school and working with food-oriented and play-oriented dogs. I'm currently working four days a week, typically through the weekend, so I'm happy to play with your pup anytime on those off days (usually Wednesday, Thursday and/or Friday).My My apartment sadly does not allow pets, but I am happy to take your dog out and about for a stimulating walk or play with your puppy at home.

“Dennis was absolutely fantastic! He was so good with our shy cats. His updates were thorough, and he was very conscientious of the instructions we left him. I would definitely hire Dennis again.”

About: I have had a wide range of dogs, cats and other miscellaneous pets throughout my lifetime and I have a lot of experience with taking care of them. I have trained both of my current dogs in basic obedience (sitting, laying down, come, stay etc). I have loved animals for my entire life, and enjoy taking the time to get to know the individual needs of each animal in order to best care for them. I have in-home dog sat several times before, and I am very attentive and able to cater to any need your pet has while walking, sitting or playing with them. I also used to volunteer at the animal shelter, and I took one of my dogs to a training class to learn proper care and techniques. My husband and I recently got a adopted a puppy and we did a lot of research and “on-the-job” learning of how to raise a well-behaved dog! I am a grad student preparing for a new year! This summer, I have the time to spend time with your pets! My schedule is super flexible and I am able to care for the needs of your beloved animal! My style of care varies a bit from pet to pet. I really enjoy training, and getting to know different animals. An important part of pet care, especially for dogs, is to make sure they have their mental and physical needs met. I am happy to spend time working with your pup (whether in training or socialization practices), exercising them, and making sure they have everything they need. I look to build a bond with the animal to make sure they feel safe as well!
