House Sitting in Yale

“Amber is very caring and truly loves animals. She tended to our dogs and even bought a couple toys for them to keep them extra happy. She was attentive and took pictures as well as took them for walks for fun. We were in a wedding and our sitter cancelled on us last minute. She helped us for a second weekend in a row and was prompt in responding to our request. She is awesome.”

“Elizabeth is wonderful and communicative. She asks great questions to be sure she is treating your pets the way you would (or better)! She even took my reactive dog for a walk when I gave her the option to just use the fenced yard. That was a big deal to me (and him)! Highly recommend.”

“Ginger was absolutely fantastic! She was extremely professional, courteous, and overall wonderful. She kept me regularly updated on my pets and sent photos while I was away. I felt completely confident in her skills and at ease knowing how well loved and taken care of my pets were. I came home to a clean and tidy house and happy animals. I highly recommend her!”

Ashley H.

“I was nervous about someone we just met staying in my home with my dogs while we were away. Also, I have three pitties who come with a LOT of energy. Chris did an excellent job of making us feel comfortable at the two meet and greets, as well as this past weekend while we were in Tennessee. She was communicative and very helpful. She left the house cleaner than when she arrived. It’s safe to say that, given how it has gone so far, we are much more confident going to France for almost two weeks in a few days here. We’re confident Chris will take care of our home and pups. Got ourselves a dog sitter.”

“We were extremely pleased with Kelly. She is delightful and kept our boy well looked after. He misses her Kelly is respectful of our home and kept in touch”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life, with most of my experience in small and medium dogs, cats, and senior pets. I love the unconditional love animals give and show that same care by keeping their routine consistent and their needs fully met. To help pets feel more comfortable with me in their own homes, I take time to make them feel safe by interacting with them and letting them warm up to me (at an in-home meet-and-greet beforehand). I’m experienced with giving medications, following special diets, and handling pets with unique needs. Owners can count on me being highly communicative - sending updates as much (or as little) as you prefer. I’m a full time in-home physical therapist and bring empathy and attentiveness to my patients on a daily basis. I bring this same level of care and dedication to my petsitting. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and respect you do. I currently work 4 - 10 hour days but can stay over and spend as much time as possible with your pet(s). I do work M-W and F but can be there all day Thursday and weekends. I will come to your house. Walk, feed, love on your pets. I can collect mail, take out trash and leave your place how I found it.

“Brenda was wonderful with our girl. I REALLY appreciated the picture updates. Kept me updated throughout our trip on how our Hazel was doing. I will definitely be reaching out to Brenda for our future sittings. Thank you Brenda!!”

“Juliann was a pleasure to work with. Our dog is just a 4-month-old puppy, and this is her first time with a dog sitter. She sent us many photos and updates, and we returned to a happy dog. Thanks, Juliann we plan to use you again.”

Jenna E.

“Gabe took great care of our dogs while we were gone. He gave us lots of updates which was very appreciated! We knew they were well taken care of”

Katherine S.

“Susan was great with Finley and Oakley. She went above and beyond with their care including some extra TLC for our little guy! The house was immaculate and she even helped us out with transportation to and from the airport. We will definitely ask Susan to stay with our guys again.”

About: Able to bond with animals easily. Have had several dogs over the span of their life ( some for 17 years ) Know what to look for in regards to medical, exercise, and lap time. Would treat them like my own, and mine are my family. I am retired, have dependable transportation, and always ten minutes early. I am retired and have very few obligations. When I commit to a schedule for your pet, that becomes my priority. Accepting all schedule suggestions. Dax..a mixed breed rescue is going on 10 this year. He has a porch and an outside dog run along the side of the house. He tends to venture off to the neighbors dogs when he finds the opportunity. So he is leash walked when we go out. He has a free run of the house, as well as my brothers dog when she visits ( bernadoodle )

About: I am the one who walks the dog(s) since childhood. I currently live with a chill pug and a very loving protective Cain Corso. I will most likely be able to devote attention all day due to my free schedule. Understanding the emotions of animals is simple for me. So anxious, scared, and lonely dogs are easy to communicate with. Its only the past 3 years that I have ever gotten paid to take care of dogs. My schedule could not be more free at the moment. I will update this if that ends up changing. I suppose it is nice to spend holidays with family though. My pug doesn’t go on long walks any more but I walk my big dog every day. I enjoy playing with my dogs everyday. My cain corso who appeared a little after the hurricane loves attention, usually in the form of belly rubs. My pug likes to cuddle and always has to be around the humans to feel at home. The dogs usually sleep in my bed. When I meet a new dog I let usually let them smell me and get lower so I am not standing over them.

“Michael is absolutely fantastic. This was the second time he stayed with my pups. It was a unique situation involving a hospital stay and unknown discharge date. He was flexible and worked with me to ensure my pups were well taken care and never left alone.”

About: I’ve had several dogs of my own and lived with others: lab/pit mix, pits, two German Shepherds, a Great Dane, a friendly chihuahua, and an evil chihuahua. I’ve rescued dogs off the street, and am all around good with animals. I have a job that gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I do travel from time to time, which is why I don’t have a pup of my own. I can be whatever your dog needs. If he’s old, we can relax together; full of energy? We can throw sticks around and run. Small and skittish? Food is a great incentivizer to build trust. I’m looking to make some extra cash and enjoy the company of your pets. I will make sure your dog is happy, fed, played with, and comfortable. I only take on one client at a time, so owners do not have to worry about their pets interacting with another owner's pets. Your loved ones will have my undivided attention.

“Thyra was awesome with my dogs! I could tell she spent a lot of time focused on them and she left my house cleaner than she found it. Sent lots of photos/updates too. :)”

“This was our first time using Rover. I knew when Megan came to meet us we had nothing to worry about leaving our dog with her. She sent us pictures while we were gone and we had a worry free time away. Thanks!”

Jessica C.

“Itzia was simply AMAZING!!!! First time using Rover and she explained everything to me and made it such a good experience. She watched my dog and cat while I went on a week long vacation and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Itzia sent daily pictures and updates and even helped around my house while I was away! I felt so relieved knowing my babies were being taken care of. I would definitely recommend Itzia for any fur baby needs!!”

Ashley S.

“Amanda is excellent with our Shiloh. Highly recommend her. We have used her twice and have had and excellent experience both times. Will definitely use her again if she is available as she books up quickly.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. I grew up with dogs and have had my own dogs as well! I currently have a senior dog and an adult dog. I have experience giving medicine and injections. I also have worked with many dog trainers, which has given me great insight on how to work with all dogs of different behaviors and personalities! I work full time from home with a flexibly job, so I am able to easily get take pets out for potty breaks and walks. If the dog I am sitting is at my house and gets along well with other dogs, we will do group walks with my dogs! If not, we will do solo walks. We also have a fully fenced in back yard. I have a fully fenced backyard and baby gates to separate the upstairs and downstairs of my home. My two dogs are used to having other dogs around, but can easily be separated to different parts of the home if needed. I can also easily work with a crate if you are crate training your dog / they are already crate trained.

“Excellent daily communication including pics of our pups. They had walks and snuggles. Once we were home, they even went looking for Kayla in the spare bedroom. They clearly bonded in the sweetest way. Highly recommend Kayla, and we have already confirmed her for our travel next week. Our pups love her. A true gem! ~Lisa Ann & Miguel”
