House Sitting West Reading

“Daniel was absolutely amazing! We have 4 high energy boxers with a variety of personalities and some with health issues. He stayed in constant communication with pictures and texts about what they were doing, how much fun they were having, if they were eating when they were supposed to, and more. Never had a concern all week that he wasn’t on top of it since he was always keeping me updated. Will definitely be using him again in the future.”

“We were afraid to leave our 18 year old partially blind kitty who takes complicated medications when we embarked upon a long international trip with minimal opportunities for contact. Samantha was reassuring and kind, and her calm and confident manner put us at ease. We received videos and photos all the while we were overseas, and our shy senior cat fell in love with Samantha’s gentle manner. Samantha also managed our home during a tropical storm, and when we returned, our home was immaculate. I cannot imagine a better person to trust with your beloved pet and your home. Samantha is not only a most competent professional but she is warm, and compassionate, and very dear. We are forever grateful to her!”

“Imani went above and beyond taking care of our two large pups. The house was tidy when we came home and they even helped get the snow off the driveway for our return. She sent pictures throughout the stay of the pups and took them on walks and played with them outside in the backyard as well.”

“I highly recommend Diana. She stayed in contact with me for the whole trip. Which really but my mind at ease. I have to say I was really worried when my pet sitter back out at the last minute. However Diana took great care of my pups and house. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”

About: I've been caring for dogs on Rover since 2017, and after 9 years, I've had the privilege of caring for all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. I absolutely adore animals, and when you leave your dog with me, my goal is for them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That's why I keep owners updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout their pet's stay or visit. You'll be able to see how they're doing, what we're up to, and most importantly, that they're happy and being well cared for. I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding, and daycare, depending on your dog's needs. For house sitting, I can keep your dog's normal routine as consistent as possible while you're away. For drop-ins, I can provide meals, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. And for walks, I'm happy to give your dog the exercise and enrichment they need. I also enjoy exercising myself, so energetic dogs are welcome to get some extra activity. There's a peaceful bike trail near my home that's a great place for walks, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with the dogs I care for. I'm flexible with my schedule and can accommodate longer stays when needed. I'm also happy to work with dogs who have specific routines, medications, senior-care needs, or other special requirements. Most importantly, I want your dog to have a positive experience while you're away. Whether we're going for a walk, playing in the yard, relaxing together, or simply keeping each other company, I want them to feel like they're spending time with someone they can trust. 9 years on Rover • 100+ five-star reviews • Frequent photo/video updates • Personalized care Thank you for considering me to care for your best friend! ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate different routines, including longer stays and last-minute requests when my availability allows. A few important updates about my availability: At this time, I can accommodate a maximum of 3 dogs from the same household for boarding/daycare. I am not currently able to combine dogs from multiple households. I am also balancing my schedule with college, so I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. For boarding/daycare, I require a confirmed booking before arranging a Meet & Greet. This allows me to keep my home and schedule organized while protecting everyone's privacy. Please note that I do not have a car, so I am unable to provide pickup or drop-off services. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Your dog's safety comes first. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and stretch their legs without leaving the property. I also supervise dogs while they are outside rather than simply letting them out unattended. For boarding and daycare, I require dogs to be comfortable with crate use. Crates provide a safe place for dogs when I need to shower, sleep, run an errand, or otherwise cannot directly supervise them. I view the crate as a safety tool and want every dog to have a secure, comfortable space of their own. I'll also follow the routines and safety instructions you provide so I can care for your dog in a way that is familiar to them.

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for pets, including providing attentive, loving, and responsible care. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I am comfortable helping with feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, playtime, and maintaining their daily routines. I am patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am organized, responsible, and flexible. I make sure pets receive consistent attention, feeding, exercise, playtime, and affection. I can plan my schedule around their needs and follow their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and safe. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I live in an apartment, so I would be happy to care for pets in a way that works best for their needs and my living situation. I have over 5 years of pet care experience and enjoy providing pets with love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I am responsible, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I am always willing to help out in any way that I can, every dog deserves love and care, no matter your situation! I enjoy sending pictures of your baby and letting you know how everything is going how ever much you need! I am a college student working part-time on the weekends. I am available early mornings, evenings and nights, and have a break mid day during weekdays that I could be there for potty breaks! I currently do not care for pets at my home, I have a rabbit named Grayson who very much enjoys being the center of attention at home! I am always willing to stay the night and at your home, I will take as much time as needed to learn what I need to make your baby comfortable!

“Andrew took very good care of my fur babies! He was courteous, caring and communicative! I had no worries with leaving Scooch and Tank in his knowledgeable care. My senior pup has mobility issues and it was great knowing he was in very good hands!”

About: I have experience caring for my family’s two beautiful Australian Shepherds, each with a personality completely their own! First, there’s Coco—also known as “Loco Coco.” She is incredibly sweet, very anxious, smart as hell, and somehow equally goofy. Caring for Coco has taught me the importance of patience, reassurance, and understanding that every dog experiences the world differently. Then there’s Ember. She’ll growl when you pet her… and then growl when you stop petting her! She can be misunderstood and a little moodier, but she is also incredibly loyal and loving in her own unique way. Ember has taught me to respect boundaries, understand body language, and recognize that affection doesn’t always look the same for every dog. Having experience with two very different temperaments has helped me become patient, understanding, and adaptable when caring for animals. I approach every pet as an individual and will take the time to learn what makes your furry family member feel comfortable, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, goofy, independent, cuddly, or a little misunderstood, I will provide care personalized to their individual wants and needs. Your pet deserves someone who will treat them with patience, understanding, confidence, and plenty of love—regardless of their personality! I currently work full-time as an Environmental Scientist with a flexible schedule due to the nature of my work. My position allows me to work remotely, in an office, and onsite at facilities, which gives me flexibility and makes me accommodating when it comes to scheduling pet and house sitting. I am also open to traveling and overnight stays! Because I can work remotely at times, I enjoy the opportunity to spend time in new places while also providing reliable care for your home and pets. I truly miss having furry friends of all shapes and sizes around, and I would love the opportunity to give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. I am very accommodating and will always do my best to work with your schedule, your pets’ routines, and your individual needs. Your home is your safe space—your sanctuary after long days—and the last thing I would ever want is to disturb that peace of mind. I would treat your home and your pets with the same care, respect, and consideration that I would want for my own. This is your time to relax, travel, and enjoy your vacation or whatever may take you away from home. The last thing you should have to worry about is paying for a service while feeling uncomfortable or uneasy about leaving your beloved pets and home with someone you don’t know. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing that your home is being respected and your pets are being cared for with genuine attention and compassion—so you can truly relax while you’re away.

About: Hi I'm Dani! I have been passionate about animals my whole life and even went vegetarian when I was 12. I love all kinds of animals even the creepy and scaly kind. I have had experience with bunnies, cats, dogs, fish, goats, and chickens. In childhood I had some brief experience with horses as well. I currently have two inside cats, one barn cat, two chickens, and six goats! Pet care is part of my daily life and routine as my cat is always by my side when I am home. Usually I will help take our dogs out when needed or feed the goats etc. I will love and treat your animals with the upmost respect. It's important to me to also not cross any boundaries that would make your animals uncomfortable.

“He met with us with little lead time, when I was tight on needing a new sitter. My dog was immediately comfortable with him. He was proactive with letting me know of any issues. A huge plus was his flexibility to work with my schedule.”

Amy B.

“Serena was fantastic with all 4 of our pets but she was especially great with our 2 quirky, older dogs who need some special handling. This was the longest we’ve left our dogs with someone other than a family member and Serena made us feel super comfortable - she was very communicative with pictures and checked in with me if there was anything she was uncertain about or had questions on. Absolutely recommend booking with her!”

Sara N.

“Kyle was fantastic with our puppy. He is very kind, calm, and built a great bond with her right away. Even though our puppy is still quite energetic, he handled her confidently and kept her well engaged. Communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Lou was in great hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”

About: I have volunteered at animal rescues and done pet sitting, and I grew up with lots of animals, including cats and dogs. Through all of this, I find I continue to have a passion for caring for animals. I have several years of experience pet-sitting. I have done dog walking, drop in visits, and long term pet-sitting. I follow the individual routines of each animal I pet-sit. I also make sure to give the animals social interaction and play with them I currently have full availability for pet care. I create a well organized schedule and keep up to date with it. I fit pet care into my daily routine with written and online schedules. Putting time and attention into each pet. I care for pets in a clients home with patience and attention. Depending on the needs of each pet I will keep notes on what they need. And fully implement the care that they need. Giving each pet my full attention during my visit to ensure they are safe and happy.

About: As the above headline would suggest, I aim to be much more than a service provider for your pets needs. Yes, I do love animals and am a dog dad myself but my heart is to be a humble servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and make myself available to help with any practical and/or personal matters of life you may have currently. I’m not a religious fanatic and won’t impose my faith on you in any way, shape or form but feel free to ask questions about it! I have pretty wide open availability mostly but I am currently a dialysis patient and receive treatments every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7am to around 11/11:30am. Tuesday evenings I’m usually busy from 6pm to 8/8:30pm. Wednesday evenings busy from 5pm to 8pm. The rest of my days and evenings are open except for Sundays from 9am to 3pm but then available Sunday evenings. Unfortunately, I’m unable to bring pets into my current residence but I obviously abide by the client’s expectations and instructions when coming to their home. As long as directions are clear and legible, I’ll follow them precisely. I am available for house-sitting, if deemed necessary as well.

About: I have 2 fur babies back at home- they are my everything! I make sure to provide attentive care to them, playing with them, and making sure they are cared for! I am currently looking for part time work before moving for a job, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I will accommodate your exact needs (walk, run, park, food, etc) with your pet! I will make sure they are protected and under great care.

“Grace was a lifesaver, agreeing to house sit for a week after another sitter cancelled last minute. She took good care of our house and our dogs while we were gone.”

About: I have taken care or animals for the past 8 years. I have been utilized by my friends and family to feed, watch, play, and work on training. I work at a wildlife refuge in the mornings then I can dedicate all of my time after that commitment to taking care of your pets. My refuge time can become flexible but that will have to be discussed prior if it is necessary. Safety, trust, and the well-being of pets are my top priorities. When pet sitting or dog walking, I follow each pet owner's instructions carefully, maintain a secure environment, provide fresh water, exercise, and attention, and monitor pets for any signs of illness or distress. I treat every pet with patience and care, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care.
