House Sitting in Defiance

I used Charity for a weekend house sitting stay with my dog Raider. She sent photo updates and followed his schedule and routine perfectly. Raider was happy and relaxed when I got home, and I’d gladly book again.

Lawton took wonderful care of our dogs and our home while we were away for more than two weeks. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, attentive, and communicative, sending us daily updates that gave us great peace of mind. One of our dogs is extremely shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but Lawton was incredibly patient and gentle with her. She clearly put in the extra effort to build trust and help her feel comfortable, which meant a lot to us. She also made sure both dogs got plenty of exercise through long walks and kept them engaged and stimulated throughout our trip. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would happily trust her with our pets again. Thank you, Lawton!

I felt so comfortable having Tracey stay with my girls while I was out of town. She communicated with me and sent pictures. I will definitely choose her again !

Katie is a true gem! She was amazing with our pups and they miss her already. Katie kept us informed throughout the booking and she sent wonderful pictures every day. She was very kind and patient with the fellas - and they are a handful! We will definitely rebook with Katie! 🥰

Kacy was an amazing dog sitter! Even my shy dog was very comfortable with her. Her daily updates made me feel at ease with being out of the country for over a week, knowing that our pups were happy. She was also very respectful and took great care of our house. She helped water flowers, collect mail, and it felt so clean when we got home. I would highly recommend Kacy!

Kathryn cared for our 11 year old dog and did a great job. She had to provide some special care for him due to a leg injury and he had a medical issue come up, which she handled both really well. She communicates well, provides updates and I feel very comfortable using her again in the future.

Emily was great to work with. She watched our 2 dogs and was very informative on how things were going, sent lots of pictures Charley and Levi loved her.

Sarah was a perfect fit for my fur babies, as she was able to stay at our house for three days, continuing my usual work-from-home schedule with minimal disruption to my pets' routine. My boys are usually pretty mopey when Mom is away, but Sarah was able to get them playing and cuddling like normal. As a first-time Rover user, Sarah's constant communication gave me peace-of-mind that my babies were being well cared for and were not overly traumatized by my absence.

Alex was amazing to meet and work with as we started a journey leveraging house sitting versus drop-in's while we are away on business travel. Our boys loved Alex and he was super attentive to them the whole week. Highly recommend this dog sitting professional!

So excited that we were able to have Marissa watch our pup for the weekend. It was nice coming back to our house as if we never left. Our pup seemed happy to have us back but we so appreciated the amazing care that Marissa has with him. She had great communication and sent a ton of pictures to help this dog mom out!! Will definitely be using her again for our pup sitting needs!!

Latasha was with our pups for 9 days and was amazing. One of our pups gets anxious and doesn’t eat when things change and he ate daily while we were gone. Our other pup got her medication correctly. She sent pics and updates daily. She has quickly become one of our favorite sitters and we will be looking to use her again when we need a sitter.

Alicia did an amazing job with our dog, Mouse! she was very communicative and kept us up to date on how things were going while we were gone. 10/10 would recommend.

Ruth was an incredible cat and house sitter! She went above and beyond with communication, and we felt the whole time we were gone our cats and house were being well taken care of. I appreciate all that she did to clean up and get things ready for us to come home. We will for sure be using Ruth again in the future!

I cannot recommend Brad highly enough. I was reluctant to leave my elderly, skittish, and very attached pups with a petsitter, but Brad was patient, conscientious, and innovative when necessary, and gained their trust. He sent pictures, keeping us posted on his progress with them and their well being. One of our dogs is unwell, and we coordinated an adjustment of his meds based on Brad’s observations of his status. Excellent care!
