House Sitting Westward Ho

“Kory was open to Emmy’s “quirks” and lovingly handled them. Prior to sitting, Kory provided information, level set her personal schedule so that we knew what her time looked like, and kept us informed. I would definitely ask Kory to sit again. ?”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and wouldn’t have it any other way. Growing up, we always had at least two dogs in the family. At an early age I learned a lot from my uncle who trained dogs to assist the disabled and blind. I previously worked at a boarding/daycare facility for 3 years which gave me experience with a variety of dog breeds, sizes, ages, medications, health conditions and grooming. At the daycare/boarding facility we were trained to pick up behavioral cues from dogs. We were taught positive ways to enforce good behavior and correct unwanted behavior. I am very familiar with how to handle dogs with food and/or leash aggression. Prior to working at the daycare/boarding facility, I worked with rescue groups and helped foster dogs. I’m the type of person that can’t ignore a pup in need of love and care. I currently have 5 dogs: a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix, miniature Dachshund, Yorkie, Morkie and Border Collie/Terrier mix. I am very experienced with dogs with special needs. In the past I’ve owned a dog that went blind, another one that had seizures and currently our Yorkie is losing her hearing and sight. I treat my dogs as if they are my kids. Be rest assured, I’ll treat your pup(s) the same! I currently work from home so I’ll be available to spend lots of time with your fur babies. This will allow them to have lots of steady potty breaks and be able to stick to any routines they’re used to. I have a fenced yard and my fur babies are friendly with other dogs so they’re sure to keep your dog company. I never leaves dogs together while unattended; they would be crated (if that’s what they’re used to) or separated just to be safe if I ever needed to step away for a moment. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern and priority.

“Our dog is nervous around new people and this was our first time using a pet sitter. Samantha provided daily updates with photos of Sage. It was great seeing that he felt comfortable with Samantha. He was happy and healthy when we returned. I will definitely use her again for future trips.”

“Kelly did a great job caring for Mila. Mila was very comfortable with Kelly. Kelly left our place clean and like we left it. Thank you Kelly. I would certainly use Kelly again in the future.”

“We couldn't be happier with the care Mai and Jonathan provided for our pets, Cooper and Bec, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we left, they gave us complete peace of mind with regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication. It's clear that they genuinely love animals and treated both Cooper and Bec like part of their own family. When we returned home, Cooper was happy and well cared for, and Bec was relaxed and content. Knowing that both our dog and cat were receiving such attentive, loving care allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. Mai and Jonathan went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met, and we are so grateful for the kindness and responsibility they showed. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Cooper and Bec, we would gladly have you watch them again!”

“This was our first time booking with rover. Rachel’s profile stood out to us since she had pictures of schnauzers on her page and that’s what we have. Rachel came to our house a day early to meet our girls and get acquainted with them. I was so happy to see that our timid rescue girl even put her paws on Rachel’s leg, which was a huge indication that she felt comfortable with Rachel. She took great care of our girls and I had no worries about Rachel being at our house. She confirmed the times and sent us pictures of our very relaxed girls and even had one of them camped out laying beside her. We are definitely going to be using Rachel again!”

“Michael was the perfect pet and house sitter for my weeklong trip out of the country. Lots of communication and he treated my two dogs and my house as his own. They liked him from their very first meeting and I could tell from the many pics and videos he sent that they were in good hands. Will definitely use him again.”

About: I am currently going to school to become a veterinarian, which has given me a strong foundation in animal health and behavior. I have been trusted by friends, family, neighbors, and mutual connections to care for their animals since I was young. In addition, I have pet-sat for many furry friends and worked in veterinary clinics for the past two years, gaining hands-on experience caring for puppies/kittens and senior pets. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic, but I have breaks throughout the day and a flexible schedule. This allows me to make pet care a priority, with plenty of time for visits, play, feeding, and attentive care throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I currently have a dog who is crate trained when I am not present, helping maintain a calm and safe environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any specific instructions or precautions provided by the owner. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, patience, and attentive care. I also take time to build trust with both pets and their owners and communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you always feel confident while your pet is in my care.

“We couldn’t be happier with the care of our dog and cat received while we were away. Serenidy went above and beyond, showering them with love and attention. Not only did they feel comfortable and loved, but our home was also in great hands!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for many years and truly love being around animals. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies and senior pets. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I treat every pet as part of the family and always follow the owner’s feeding, medication, and care instructions carefully. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends, for boarding and pet care. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home environment and carefully follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and daily routine instructions. I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home.

About: When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a vet. Nature, animals, and being active have always been a part of my life. I became a Fitness Professional who believes health & well-being are fundamental for humans AND for animals. I'm grateful for all LIFE and that shows in the way I embrace energy , the way I love to run & play myself, and that's what I provide to those that are under my care!! Security is a priority, water, food, a warm & comfortable shelter, a place to expand energy & many ways to stimulate interests are all I have to offer to your dog. I'm also patient - which I think is important because we all need time to learn & be understood.

“Stephanie was great with my two dogs! She communicated clearly and I never once had to worry that they were in goods while I was away. I have a high strung working line GSD who insist on lots of play and Stephanie picked up on all her games to keep her entertained inside while it’s too hot outside. Already have another stay planned!”

“Was absolutely great to have at the house! Cleaned up after themselves and my cats were pretty happy! She sent lots of pictures and my cats looked like they had a super fun time 💗”

About: I have spent many years fostering puppies/ dogs with an organization called “mostly mutts.” I have always been an animal lover. I’m very attentive and protective of every animal I come in contact with! Given the opportunity to watch someone else’s furry, I would treat them as my own! I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat. I am very strong and can manage larger breeds of dogs. I understand that people’s pets are a part of the family and they deserve only the best care. I take being a Rover dog walker/ sitter very seriously because of this. Your pup will be in very good hands! I also have a love for cats so I’d be more than happy to cat sit as well! I can’t wait to meet your furries!

“Valeria was amazing! Truly had the best experience with her. She was so communicative and had great attention to detail. Cannot recommend her enough! We will definitely book with her again ❤️”

“We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dogs! Rebekah and her daughter Sadie were absolutely wonderful- kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. From the moment we met them, we felt completely at east leaving our dogs in their care. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which meant so much to us while we were away. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved when we returned. We are so grateful and would not hesitate to book with them again. Highy recommend to anyone looking for responsible, loving, and trustworthy dog sitters!”

Lori J.

“Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend. We booked house sitting, and boy, she really did house sit! She even vacuumed, did dishes, and took out the trash for us. Really appreciate her and WILL be booking again.”

“Sara was great and handled everything perfectly! She even sent pictures of our fur babies, who were happy for the attention!”

Amanda K.

“Alexia took great care of my dog, Kalia! They asked questions about her care beforehand and were attentive about care instructions. They also took lots of photos and sent them to me which helped me feel more at ease about traveling. I would recommend and would request to book them again.”

Olivia S.

“Sara is wonderful! Easy to communicate with, sent me plenty of pictures that showed not only that my baby was doing well, but that she was being her normal self and doing her normal routines. If your pet is your family you can trust Sara will treat them that way!”
