House Sitting in Tollhouse

Shauna’s first dog sitting at our house: She is easy to work with, has excellent communication skills, and seems dependable and organized. Above all, the pics Shauna texted show that my senior dog felt safe and happy being with her today. I have been working with two other dog-sitters for 3 yrs, one for 2 Sundays a month and the other for late evenings when needed. They both work part-time and go to school full-time. Neither was available on Monday from 9-5, but Shauna was so that we could focus on our funeral for a relative today. My wife and I feel that our beloved Joy will be in a good hand when longer hours or overnight stay is needed.

We recently moved to Fresno and were nervous about finding someone we could trust with our six senior animals. They all have their own needs and personalities, and a couple of them can be pretty grumpy. One of our dogs, Sloane, is newly adopted and hasn’t really bonded with anyone but me yet, so I was especially anxious about leaving her. Dalene was wonderful from the very beginning. She came by twice before the stay to meet everyone, understand the routine, and make sure the animals were comfortable with her. I left three pages of instructions, and she followed everything exactly as written. She also kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. What I appreciated most was how thoughtful and intuitive she was when small issues came up. For example, Sloane didn’t want to sleep in her crate because she’s used to sleeping in bed with me. Dalene figured out a gentle solution that kept Sloane calm without disrupting her routine. It’s clear she really pays attention to the animals and responds to what they need. When we came home, the house was spotless and all the animals were relaxed and happy. Finding someone like Dalene, especially after a big move, has been such a relief. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a sitter who is dependable, patient, and truly cares about the animals in her care.

Christina is absolutely exceptional! She went above and beyond. She is the finest we’ve ever worked with. She took exceptional care of Lulu and our home. We felt very grateful!

Dear, dear Rita got double duty this trip. We added a second dog, who's a sweet elderly old guy with incontinence issues. Rita took it in stride, even managing to diaper the dogger successfully, which I hadn't been able to do. As always, the dogs were happy, and everything thing was taken care of. I have complete faith in her abilities, and so appreciate her!

Kate was awesome! Kate house sat for us and took care of our two cats. We came home to happy, healthy pets and a house that was exactly how we left it. We also received daily photos and notes from Kate which put our mind at ease while traveling. Thank you, Kate!

Jessica is a wonderful dog sitter! My Shihtzu loves her. She took care of Bella for 3 nights and sent pictures of her. Jessica is a great communicator and the house looked perfect when I got home. I have her booked for several future vacations.

As a first time Rover user, I was very very nervous about getting a sitter. Mary did a great job watching my English Bulldog. She followed all instructions and was even able to hand feed Toby for me, since he’s so spoiled.

Chris did a great job taking care of the house and the dogs. The dogs were well cared for and house was just as we left it, we could hardly tell that someone had lived there while we were gone.

Rebecca was wonderful with my two pups! She communicated well, was so loving with my babes and sent photos and updates regularly. I came home to happy puppies who I could tell were loved well while I was away!

Chyna was very good with Scout. He had a minor accident, and she took great care of him. House was clean and tidy when we came home. I could tell when I came home that Scout had been loved. He was happy.
