House Sitting in Van Etten

Claudia was a wonderful pet sitter! From the moment we met her, it was clear she was a lover of animals and she would take wonderful care of our dog Pepper while we were out. She left the house in spic and span, was always in communication during our trip or if she had any questions, and shared lots of pics throughout. Would hire again in a heartbeat.

Caroline was beyond amazing with my two dogs. She kept notes on everything and was extremely responsive. My dogs were very happy in her care. We even had an incident occur at our house while she was there and she took care of everything for us and notified us of the details. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!!

We were new to Rover and came across Matt and Jessica. We have three dogs- Nia a 7 year old springer and two hound dogs- Daisy age 3 and Sadie age 1. We were gone for 6 days. To say that I get nervous leaving my dogs/babies is an understatement. Nia has medical issues and Jess did a great job handling and giving Nia her meds. Nia was so relaxed with Jess- she played ball with her. This is unheard of. When we’ve left Nia in the past she sulks, doesn’t eat/eats far less and certainly doesn’t relax enough to play ball. To me, this speaks to Jessica’s mild manner and calm she brings to the animals she watches. Jess stayed in our home- was 1000% trustworthy and kept the house neat and tidy. Jess sent daily pictures and communicated effectively and timely. I would strongly recommend Jess and Matt!!!

Angela was awesome. Lots of communication and pictures. We couldn't have asked for a better fit seeing as Angela slept with our two cuddle bugs. Toys were an awesome surprise and the dogs love them. We look forward to using Angela again. A+ service!

Cris was wonderful! He took great care of our pup and our house and we would happily hire him again!

Due to my "go to" sitter moving town, I needed to find a new home for my babies while I'm out of town. My son and I travel a lot so typical boarding/kennel is not my favorite place for the doggies. Arya was very responsive when setting up the stay. My dogs tend to forget their training when meeting someone new, and I appreciated that Arya immediately responded to my goldendoodle the way I want him to when he jumps - he turned his back. Within 2 minutes Ayra had Marlin responding as he should (too often people tell me, "oh, it's okay" and allow Marlin to misbehave. I know this is also on me...but to have help, helps!). The dogs were walked regularly and I was given many, many videos. I had some questions about the dogs after pick up, and Arya responded immediately. He also texted to check in to see how they were doing, which was great. I'd absolutely use Arya again for shorter trips; I'm not sure about longer ones because the dogs appear to spend much time in the crate. It's not a negative per se - and I trusted Arya completely with them - it's just that that stay is very different from their lifestyle they've experienced during boarding, which is a large yard in which to run free, and generally only crating at night for sleep and when my previous sitter would leave the house.

Thank you so much, Rachel! We needed a sitter last-minute for our Lucy and Rachel was great. She was attentive and shared pictures and updates while we were away. We would definitely use her again!

This was the second time Bill watched my dog. Besides the facts that Bill brought my dog a new toy and cleaned up my house for me a bit, including doing some dishes I hadn’t gotten to, he’s just fantastic with dogs. My dog is so happy to have bill watching him, and I don’t have to worry about the dog because I know he’s in good hands. Bill gives regular updates and very funny videos of the dog with Snapchat style face recognition bunny ears and what not, such a riot. Thanks for such great service, Bill!

Cate did a great job caring for Benny. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated since when we left he was quite sad. Cate was able to cheer him up and we came home to a very happy boy!

Patricia was very professional, and the dogs received excellent care. Additionally, the house was in great condition when we returned. Both dogs appeared relaxed and happy, which is exactly what we hoped for!

Ellie is the absolute best! She sent all kinds of photos of fun activities she brought our dogs on. They looked like they had a blast. She will be our go to for our dogs and should be yours too.

We had Sari house sit our 6 month old German Sheppard and we would highly recommend her to anyone. She updated us throughout the weekend with great photos, took her on hikes in the area, and even had an Easter egg hunt with her since it was Easter weekend. The house was swept and exactly how we left it when we arrived home. It was the first time we left her with someone and we couldn’t be happier.

The best cat/house sitter. Bobbi Jo took great care of my two cats, made sure they were fed and litter was clean and that they mostly stayed out of too much trouble, and also took care of my home during a snowstorm. Bobbi Jo was very responsive as well and communicated consistently.
