House Sitting in Rutledge

Abigail is a very sweet and honest person, and I appreciated that she spent the day at home with Kulfi. She followed the schedule and instructions I provided (meals, potty breaks, and giving her companionship throughout the day). Her fiancé mainly came in the evenings to spend the night and then left for work the next morning. That said, a few small housekeeping details were missed and the care felt more basic than I’m used to, without much extra attentiveness beyond the essentials. However, Kulfi was safe and her routine was maintained. Suggestions to be an exceptional Rover sitter: Adding a bit more enrichment and “extra mile” care would make a big difference—an additional walk (or a longer walk), dedicated playtime sessions, mental stimulation like simple games/snuffle mat/puzzle treats, and a quick daily check-in with a couple photos/videos plus a short note about mood, appetite, potty/walk times, and energy level. I think a little time investment and physical activity would make her an exceptional rover sitter for the price and more worth it then boarding your furbabies.

We highly recommend Preston. He did a long stay housesitting for our super energetic 15 month old Belgian Malinois and our six-year-old super chill pit mix. We felt totally comfortable with him and our dogs were happy and healthy upon our return and our Belgian requires a lot of exercise and attention. He left our home perfect and we are already rebooked for another long stay in December. He was timely and responsive. Don’t hesitate, book him!

Catecha did a great job caring for our German Shepherd, Aries. She followed his schedule, played with him outside to help burn energy, and was patient with all his quirks. Aries is a big, energetic, and sometimes very spoiled boy, but he listens when someone sets the tone; and that’s exactly why we chose her. Catecha was kind, calm, and confident, which helped him settle right in. We appreciated how open she was to learning his routines and making sure he stayed safe and happy.

This is our second time having Jody keep our dogs and she was amazing again! She’s very communicative and followed our dogs’ routines perfectly. We’ve already booked her again!

Kayleigh is a very sweet girl and was very good with Murphy! She is easygoing and is respectful and responsible. You can tell she loves to be with animals.

These two were INCREDIBLE! Was in a last minute pinch and it couldn’t have gone better. They took such good care of Roger while I was gone for the night and did a great job communicating & updating on happenings. 10/10.

Taryn did an excellent job!!!! We were very happy

Tara did an amazing job. She proactively communicated prior to me leaving to ensure everything was set. The dogs loved her and she shared photos of the pups with me while I was away.

Another wonderful time with our pooches for over two weeks —they were in great shape —same for the house. As usual, the pooches will be depressed for a good while after Megan returns to her own life!

5-star service! Donnis is a treasure. You can feel safe and comfortable leaving your beloved pet in her care. We have a new dachshund puppy that is teething and still being potty-trained, and Donnis was excellent with him. She is patient, kind, and reliable, and our pup took to her straight away. We were able to have a nice, stress-free afternoon/evening away because we knew he was in good hands! We will definitely book Donnis for all our puppy-sitting needs in the future, and we highly recommend her!

She’s the best… she took great care of our baby!!! Harlee got into something in the neighbors yard ( yes it has happen with us before) but she immediately called our vet just to make sure she’ll be okay The house is just how we left it CLEAN.. She even took out the trash.. we will definitely use her again… thank you for making us comfortable and we’ll be seeing you soon!!!
