House Sitting Wooded Estates

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—there has literally never been a time growing up when I didn't have a pet at home! On top of my lifelong hands-on experience, I spent all four years of high school volunteering weekly at a local animal shelter, dedicating about 8 hours a week to caring for both cats and dogs. I’d love to bring that same high level of care, patience, and love to your furry family members! I'm currently on summer break from the University of Notre Dame, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I work with the Boys and Girls Club as a Youth Development Professional seasonally. I value safety over anything and will keep a close eye on your pets as much as requested. I understand what can happen if an animal is left alone for too long, and will ensure that your animals are safe and protected.

“Took great care of my pups!”

“Victoria is the very first person we ever tried on Rover and she will be our ONLY choice from now on! She stayed in our home with our two pups. One of the boys has a daily medication and requires special attention. Victoria took them for walks each day. She sat with them while they played in the backyard and she let them have lots of snuggles while we were away. They were both happy and well cared for. Victoria sent lots of updates and pictures each day so we could see them. She cared for our home and left it spotless! Such an animal lover and we are happy to have found her!”

“Nicolas did a good job staying with our dog in our house on Independence Day. I will definitely book him again. He is affable and trustworthy.”

“Sarah was awesome. I would highly recommend her services. She took great care of our pets and house. The whole experience couldn't have been more pleasant. If you are looking for someone to watch your pets, look no further!”

“Janelle was great and we look forward to booking with her again soon! This was her first time staying with our pups and she took great care of them. Almost positive they were hoping it was her instead of us when we got home :)”

Ashley J.

“We loved Ruth! She was a great house sitter and pet sitter! We appreciated her quick responses and flexibility. She was great with our dog. He seemed happy and well taken care of the entire time. She not only left our house clean and neat, but she took the initiative and did some things without being asked, like bringing the trash can in the garage after trash pick up and taking the bed sheets off and placing them in the laundry room. We hope to have her back!!”

“LeeAna was the absolute best! She is so informative about animal care, and took such good care of my doggo and kitty while I was out of town. She sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. I highly recommend her if you need someone to watch you animal babies!!”

About: I have always grown up with pets, from dogs to rodents I’ve always had some fur little friend in my life. I adore being able to make a pets life more enjoyable and bright, whether that means going out and about or being a couch potato, I want to be there. I just recently got accepted to a master program at Notre Dame (crazy excited), due to that I have class from eight to noon Monday through Thursday and for the month of August and partially into September. I will have a Friday class however most afternoons I should be free and if not, I will always work with my schedule and your schedule to find the best time that works to see your pets! I personally love having a directions list, something that I can follow to keep both your mind and my mind at peace knowing that what is written down will make sure that you pet will be safe and still have a good time. I would also love to be able to meet you and your pet before any bookings so that both you and your pet feel comfortable with who I am!

“Michaela is an attentive, caring pet sitter. She is an excellent communicator and took perfect care of our little dog as well as our home. I cannot say enough positive things about our first experience with her and Rover.com. I highly recommend Michaela!!!!”

Michelle C.

“Destiny did a wonderful job taking care of the two dogs overnight. It gave us a great weekend of seeing family and relaxing, knowing the dogs were well taken care of. We will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”

Marilyn D.

“Bethanie was just perfect and so caring with my overly active puppy. I was able to get out and escape the puppy blues knowing my puppy was well cared for.”

Ellen G.

“Joan was awesome!! Our dog winnie can be nervous with new people, but you could tell Winnie warmed up to Joan and her husband quickly! She sent lots of pictures and updates. Winnie and our house was in good hands! She really went above and beyond!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and connection I bring to every animal I work with. I have experience with all types of animals, and I treat each one like they’re my own patient, gentle, and fully attentive to their needs. I don’t believe in one size fits all care. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a great communicator, always keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is truly in good hands. With a calm energy, a clean environment, and genuine passion for animals, I make every pet’s stay a positive and stress free experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I build my day around the animals I’m watching. I start and end each day with feeding, potty breaks, and quality time, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, play, and exercise throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, check ins, or simply giving them comfort and company, I plan my schedule to stay consistent and reliable. Pets aren’t an “extra” for me they’re a meaningful part of my day, and I make sure their needs are met with patience, love, and structure. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything exactly how their pet is used to. I stick closely to the pet’s daily schedule, maintain their feeding and exercise routine, and make sure they get quality time, attention, and reassurance. No matter where the care takes place, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress free, just like they’re with family.

“Colette is a loving, proactive and communicative star! Who better to look after your four legged children than someone who does it full time. Colette is knowledgeable and provided regular updates on our little ones. I knew they were in excellent hands and care with wonderful Colette.”

Meg S.

“One of our best experience on Rover with Rachel! She took care of our cats so well and even kept the house in perfect shape while we were out for a long vacation. I would totally recommend her for any of your house stays or visits. She's timely, organized and very particular about giving medicines, treats or even playing with your kitties. ❤️”

“Candice did a fantastic job with my pup Bo. By the pictures sent to me he appeared to be having a blast. Once she left he was one tired pup. He went to the bedroom to lay down and I hardly heard a peep out of him the rest of the day/night. Thanks for making his day fun!”

Greg G.

“We always contact Debra to take care of our 2 cats when we are out of town. She takes really good care of them and they like being around her. She sends lot of pictures so we do not miss them either. I 100% recommend her to take care of your furry babies.”

“Samantha was very professional and responsive. She was quick to suggest a get-acquainted visit, so I was able to meet her and feel good about booking with her a couple of weeks before our trip. The day before the booking, she messaged me to confirm the time she would come the next day. As soon as she got in the house to take care of our dog, she texted a photo of him and assured us that he was doing well. She was great at communicating with us and sending pics of our pup. When we returned, the house was in great shape and our dog was calm and happy. We'll call her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs all throughout high school, specifically with families and working couples. I understand the importance pets have in the structure of any family, and it’s my pleasure to offer peace knowing your pet is being taken care of and loved while you’re away. I like meeting pets where they’re at, wether it’s running around a park with energetic Border Collies or lounging around with a chill cat. As a full time college student, I see my pets between classes, take care of them during my study breaks, and even bring them to my favorite study spots! I make sure that all their needs are met through any environment and situation. I never push them past what their owner has made clear they are comfortable with.
