House Sitting in Witt Springs

“We have a farm and Terry did a great job looking over all of our animals (chickens, pigs, cats, dogs, horses). He went above what we asked and even vacuumed and cleaned the litterboxes for our return. He successfully gave meds to our temperamental chihuahua as well and kept us thoroughly updated on how she was doing.”

About: Since I was 15, I have taken care of neighbors pets and my own! I have had chickens, fish, hamsters, dogs, and currently have a cat of my own! I am available this whole month! I do have another job so I will need to know in advanced when I’m needed! I should be available most days. I am very respectful towards homes and would never leave it without making sure it’s tidy and clean up any accidents that could happen, I also am very communicative!

“Alicia was great! Our dogs love her. Alicia had great communications with us. We received updates in the morning and in the evening on how everything was going which put our minds at ease. She also made sure we came home to a clean home We will definitely be rebooking with her.”

“Amber was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs!! She kept us very updated with pictures and messages and even checked in with us on a potential medical issue. They both need oral medication and she was comfortable with that and made sure they had what they needed. We loved having her take care of our pups and felt confident they were safe and happy with her! We’d recommend her to any other families that need someone to love and care for their pets while they’re away!”

Alison W.

“Kris was absolutely wonderful with our 4 babies. She treated them like her own and loved them so much. We have 2 that aren’t a big fan of meeting new people and she even had them coming up to her and loving on her. She sent several pictures throughout her stay so that we knew the kiddos were having fun and doing well. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Jordan is truly a hidden gem! We feel so lucky to have found her, as we are new to the area and didn’t have anyone that we trusted to watch our 2 dogs. She agreed to house sit despite us making a last minute request and was so accommodating. She loved on our dogs and they absolutely loved her (which is great since they are cautious small dogs who bark at everyone until they trust them). She left the house cleaner than we left it and communicated the entire stay. She sent us adorable pictures and made us feel comfortable during our time away, and we can’t wait to have her back! Thank you, Jordan!”

About: I've been working with dogs since I was 9 years old. It started at a summer camp located at my local shelter and at home with our own dogs. At 18 I helped foster 2-week-old kittens that were born in our front yard and abandoned by their mom. I have worked with many different dogs and have been house sitting since I was 16 years old with different types of dogs and different care levels, from needing to give elderly dogs medication to hyper puppies who need lots of play time. I fit in Pet care into my daily routine by waking up at a specific time every morning to take care my own dog out for a morning potty break, then it is breakfast time, then an hour after is a morning walk, after I have lunch is a shorter afternoon walk and before dinner is an evening walk, with several potty breaks scattered reasonably every 3 hours to make sure. Sometimes I take my own dog on small hikes or to the dog park to get some more socialization in. Outside of my hobbies and schooling pet care is my life. This does depend on what I am hired for, if I am hired for potty breaks and play time then I do just that, I arrive at the home, let the dog out to go potty, take a walk play with some toys. If I am housesitting, then I follow the schedule the owners have their dogs on as to not disrupt the dog's stability.

“We are beyond thankful for Emily, taking care of our cat and dog for an extended holiday weekend! She was great with communication, updates, and was flexible with some additional sudden needs when our dog was sick right before Emily was scheduled to take care of her. She was great with administering all medications. We will definitely being using her again soon!!”

“Elena was wonderful to work with! My dog tends to be nervous around new people but Coraline warmed up to Elena immediately”

“Sarah did a great job watching our girls. We booked her on short notice, and she catered to my needs when I requested she keep her dogs separate from mine. They had fresh water, a large yard, and automatic water feeder. You couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend Sarah when booking your pets.”

About: As someone who has cherished animals my entire life, I know firsthand how much your furriest family member(s) mean to you—and how essential it is to find someone who will care for them with the same love and devotion you do. I also understand the stress that can come with entrusting their care to someone else. That’s why I’m committed to working closely with you to provide tailored care, companionship, and clear communication, ensuring both you and your pet feel safe, happy, and at peace. I bring experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful youngsters to wise seniors—along with expertise in administering medications and supporting animals with special needs. Whether I’m dropping in, house-sitting, taking your pup for a walk or checking in on another fur baby, I’ll treat your little one like family. You can count on me for regular updates and photos, while your pet enjoys playtime, gentle massages, and plenty of cuddles—everything I’d want for my own. Note: I’m no longer able to offer boarding services. One of my own sweet boys is getting up in years—he’s a little more fragile, and a little less patient than he once was, and I worry that boarding a stranger would cause him a lot of unnecessary stress. I work from home — this allows me some flexibility and the ability to customize my breaks and lunch based on the needs of my clients. When caring for pets in the home of my clients, it’s important to remember that the little one that I’m caring for is likely stressed because their mom and/or dad are gone, and there is a stranger (me) in their home. With that in mind, I typically spend more time with them than what is required by Rover because they need the extra time to feel comfortable with me. I take time to try to get to know them and help them feel more at ease. I treat them with the same amount of compassion I want for my own!

About: I have cared for my own dogs and cats for over 40 years. I have not done this professionally, other than helping out friends and families while on vacation. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet and home is cared for while you are away. If there are gatherings I am usually the one hanging out with the dogs/cats and keeping them at ease when there are a bunch of people around. I am available early mornings and late afternoons and evenings and most weekends I am available any hours...but I have some flexibility to meet other needs. In our yard I try to train them to stay in the yard. I have done leash yard training but typically let them run around. When had a fence yard I typically left my dogs out as much as possible.

About: I will give them the time and attention that they deserve, and if there's any types of training or exercises that need to be done I am willing to learn. My schedule is opened up quite a bit so I'm just doing some doordashing on the side so I'm more than available and capable of spending time with your fur babies. And giving Then the time and attention that they need. I'm also up for meeting beforehand if you need. You just give me all of the requirements of what your fur baby needs and wants are and I will follow any boundaries set for your place or mine.

About: *** Right now I'm offering discounted rates, through the month of July! *** ***Also for first time Rover users you can use this link to get an additional discount! https://www.rover.com/sit/toril81806*** I've been working with dogs and cats since I was 10. I am very capable when it comes to house sitting, washing, walking, basic obedience, trick training, crate training, potty training, and free shaping. I'm excited to help you and your pet. Whether it be a energetic puppy or a senior dog that may need a slower approach, I am here for all your pet needs. I am comfortable with both reactive dogs and multi dog households. Depending on what you'd like to achieve in a session I can bring my own equipment or use yours. My schedule shifts from week to week. I'm generally free Monday through Thursday. I prefer afternoons/evenings, but can make mornings work if they better fit your schedule. Check ahead with me to see if I can do multi-week stays. I will leave care up to the owners discretion. I have a well trained dog that I can bring over if your dog prefers to play with other dogs. I understand that not every dog wants to be friends with other dogs. I've found being in a familiar place while their owner is gone can be comforting for the pet. Whether your pet is a high energy herding dog or a low energy senior dog I will be there to care for them to the best of my ability.

“Sebastian is amazing! He was our cat sitter for 2 weeks and was great! Our cats responded to him very well and looked amazing when we got home! Book Sebastian today for your next trip!!”

About: Hello, my name is Shannan. I have experience with caring for dogs in clients’ houses. For note, I am Deaf and I use my fluent language, American Sign Language, for communication writing the paper or texting the phone. Usually, when I dog sit I stay at the dog’s house when the dog’s parents go on vacation or are gone for long weekends. I care for the dog, make sure they get fed, and are loved. We go outside and play, relax and go for walks around the neighborhood or at a park. I love to go for walks and get fresh air. I will inform you, how your dog is to make sure okay and send the photos as you need. Text me only and I will look forward to talk to you. I am free for any day of the week. I currently working at Gabe’s in Lexington, for 6 hours a day and it has been different every week. I can come in Lexington, Richmond, and Berea. I will clean dishes, taking out the trash (if needed), and sweeping the floor before clients return home. Also, I always make sure to fill the water in the bowl for a dog before I leave.
