House Sitting Yorktown

“Once again Issabella has done a great job taking care of my house and two cats! Every time she sends a picture update you can tell they’re so relaxed and happy in her care. She also follows any specific care instructions as directed which is great. I’ll continue to rebook for future overnights and vacations.”

“Kellsy took very good care of Tobey, sent me tons of photos and updates.”

“We couldn't be more grateful for Jessie! She took amazing care of our beloved shepherds and our home while we were on vacation. Before finding Jessie, my husband and I rarely traveled together—we're very particular about who we trust with our dogs and our home. Jessie exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we booked with her, communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was clear our pups were happy, relaxed, and in great hands. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything back home was being cared for so well. Jessie’s attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals completely won us over. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and are already looking forward to future travel plans now that we have someone we trust completely. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: PSA: I do not offer boarding! Over the course of my life, I’ve been around and cared for animals. My friends have asked me to take care of mostly cats, but I’ve also looked after smaller/medium sized dogs, and a few different reptiles. I am good with dogs at almost any age, but especially older dogs. With cats, I can do just about any age! I’ve taken care of cats in my own home since I was 5. I’ve bathed cats, dogs, reptiles, and I can give necessary care if it’s needed! I currently have a very open schedule and am able to give animals proper attention! If I so happen to have plans, my calendar should be updated. I am also open to negotiate time, just contact me! Currently my little cat is more accustomed to the indoors and is not used to being around many other animals, because of this, it is preferable (and by preferable I mean I cannot sit for your animal in my home) that I sit in my client’s home! I would need to know the basics such as: where your pets food is, toys, cleaning supplies in case of emergencies, and any other special or necessary things you would like me to do regarding your animal (if there are any). On a side note: I am no official expert by any means, but I am one to be observant of your animals behavior. This of course means I understand when your animal needs food, wants to play, or needs to use the bathroom, but it also means that I can read emotions pretty well. I can read expressions of animals fairly well and I’m usually able to tell if something is bothering them. If you believe something is bothering them, please don’t hesitate to tell me as I will try my best to investigate! I believe animals show us what is wrong with them through their own signs of communication. If I’m able to help in anyway, I will!

“Emma was amazing. We have three dogs and she kept me updated on each and provided me updates regarding our home (there were a lot of storms in the area). She was flexible with times and was open to extending her support should we want to extend our vacation a bit. I will 100% book with her again!”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 when I got my first dog, and I've been caring for animals ever since! I've cared for many different species, such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, cows, fish, and a couple of reptiles! I'm always looking for new animal friends and would love to meet yours! I'm currently a full time college student, and have two classes a day. I will be available for pet care at all hours other than 10-11am, and 12-1pm during my classes. I have a nice big hallway for your pet if a kennel is needed, and I have great access to a nice, safe walking path, plus a big yard for pets to play. I am very adaptable and can make anything work!

“Emma answered to our last minute in house sitting request, this was our first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. Emma was very kind, listened to all our detailed instructions, and made sure our pups were well taken care of. She made sure they went on their walks and got their potty breaks in. Our pups, Oso and Leily, both loved her and quickly warmed up to her. She also sent us pictures of them while we were away to make sure we knew they were doing great. We couldn’t have asked for a better in house sitter. We will definitely be using Emma from now on whenever we need a sitter again!”

About: I grew up with at least two cats at all times and am well equipped at taking care of them. Over the past several years I have pet sit for friends, family and acquaintances for cats and dogs. I have done drop in visits, walks, and overnight housesitting, usually for two or more pets at once. Cats or dogs, I care about making your pets feel comfortable and making sure they are well taken care of. Whatever this includes, like walks, enrichment, specific feeding routines, I am down to provide! I am currently searching for a part or full time job near me so am very open! I will update my availability as it changes. I care about making sure your pets are comfortable, and they and your home are taken care of! I am a respectable guest and caretaker.

About: Experienced in caring for dogs from bottle fed newborns to extra needs seniors. I’ve lived on farms for a number of years and have a lot of hands on experience with an array of animals all ages and litters. Also experienced in basic positive feedback training and/or just giving your animal the love and care they deserve! I work from home so am basically available all day everyday. I can provide 24/7 care to your pet in the ways that are most comfortable for you i.e how frequently you want potty breaks to be done, feeding times, any training you want them to keep up with ect. I have a big fenced yard and two sweet dogs to keep your pet company! I can also easily crate your pet if and when you feel comfortable or keep them out and playing all day!

“Bella was GREAT with our pup! He can be a bit of a handful from time to time and she managed his weirdness extremely well. She left our home nice and tidy as well. Will definitely be asking her to watch George again!”

About: Have had many dogs and cats in a city environment and many in a country environment. Been taking care of them since I could remember! Pretty flexible and open, I work from home. I live with my girlfriend who is also on rover. Just reach out and we can talk about it! I recently moved into a great neighborhood! There are plenty of dog owners in my area so you don’t have to worry about anything, we’re a big community!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little. I’ve had both big and little dogs, with other small animals as well. Many neighbors, family members, and friends have trusted me to take care of their animals when needed. I am working part-time at Constant Clean for winter break with plenty of time to take care of animals! I am staying home for break so that you don’t have to worry about your pets. This past summer I worked for a cleaning service to take care of peoples homes. I am responsible with others belongings and handle them with care. While I am not taking care of pets then, I handle everything with the same attitude.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I am willing to keep special needs pets and am able to give medication. I am open to discussing any special requirements your pet might have. I live at home with my mom and this is my only job. I am free to give your pet all the love and attention they need. I have a lead in our yard for potty time and live near a dog park for fun and exercise. We will take walks, having brushing time to bond, and have lots of play time. I do have a dog kennel available inside and will have food and water bowls for your pup. We do have cats, so please make sure your dog is cat friendly.

About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, babysitting family and friends dogs along with taking care of my own dogs. I’ve been around them for as long as I can remember! I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, and love going on walks and spending quality with pups. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for both young puppies and sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup all of the love and care they need! While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised - either on walks or a secure lead. I will follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest, making sure they are safe, happy, and loved. Whether at my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and keep you updated throughout the stay!

About: I have adopted several dogs from shelters over the years; all being larger breeds like German shepherds / shepherd mix as well as being both elderly and special needs dogs. This means I have experience in giving dogs medication, and giving them extra attention for any needs they may need. While they have been elderly that didn’t impair them for going out on long walks, or being large strong dogs; making me confident in my ability to safely walk almost any dog outdoors. While I've done a lot of stuff with older dogs that doesn't stop me from being able to keep up with a young energetic pup either! I have also helped out several friends with pet sitting their dogs many times. This has also given me experience in dealing with nervous / anxious dogs and their needs. I work a job that allows me to work from my (or your) home on most days and have no other set obligations. I do not have a job that comes with surprise emergencies, so once I agree to a time, I will be able to make it. You know how to take care of your pet, it's my job to imitate that while you are gone so they can feel safe or less anxious while you are away. With my experience with shelter adoptions, I understand that some pets may need special care and feel up to most such challenges. Honesty is my policy. While I don’t expect it, if there is something I am uncomfortable with, a task or sadly your pet and I aren’t compatible, I'd clearly say so at our first meeting allowing you the time to search for other options.

About: Hello! My name is John my best friend is Shaggy, we welcome pets into our home! I work from home a lot so your pet is well cared for. I have a fenced yard and on nice days I open the patio doors so that they can go in and out as they please I know Shaggy loves that freedom to go outside any time and then come back in for shade, water and of course a nap. Overnight stay dogs get their own climatized room. Cats can protect the rest of the house (Doggie vacation from all the protection they know is their responsibility) We have a convenient location near BSU that's great for dog walks. 30 minute walks are available in my area at just .50 cents per minute and that includes waste removal, what a deal! Day care is awesome never again will your dog be bored at home alone. Tails are always wagging here! Book your stay or schedule a walk around the famous BSU duck pond for your fur babies. Rest assured they will be taken care of, I've loved dogs and cats for many, many years. I am currently semi-retired so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I always go outside with the pets so your pets are never left alone. I have a fenced yard attached to the backyard of my house with a privacy fence facing the road and a doggy portal so your doggy can see dog walkers at the roadside. (See photos)
