House Sitting in Gladstone

Delighted to have Isa stay at our home for two nights with our little blind and deaf, Shih Tsu Miss Daisy and Breezy our female cat. Isa sent photos to us while we are away. A very calm, thoughtful young lady who obviously has a great love for cats and dogs. We would be happy and very confident to have Isa stay in our house with our pets in the future. We ❤️Isa❣️

Luke took great care of our senior Yorkiepoo, was gentle with him and gained his trust. Even got the finicky guy to eat his food. We've never left him with anyone but family, so are pleased that we could depend on Luke!

Heather was an absolute champ. She handled last-minute Christmas shipping issues on my end with total grace, kept me updated with photos, and was incredibly thorough from the very beginning. She even dealt with a leak in my house while I was away — above and beyond in every sense. I trust her completely, felt my home and pets were in excellent hands, and really appreciated her attention to details like managing the heat to save energy costs. She’s wonderful, reliable, and someone I’d recommend without hesitation.

These two re-arranged their personal working lives to accommodate our fur babies. Both Chris and Gina went out of their way to make certain all was okay. We received almost daily updates and pictures that we so appreciated. Thank you to both of you!

Tina is the absolute best rover we have ever had!! We were out of the country when our dog sitter had to cancel unexpectedly. We were extremely nervous about finding someone last minute that we trusted for our two dogs that we love like our children, PLUS with the threat of a massive snowstorm. Tina had last minute availability and we were able to book with her promptly. She took care of our puppies as if they were her own, sent lots of videos and pictures, and gave us lots of updates to put us at ease. She was even able to identify some health things that might be going on with our senior dog & our allergy-affected 2 year old dog, which we will have looked at when we get home. Tina is a wonderful person and rover. She really cares about animals, and is understanding and patient. Having two dogs can be a lot, especially with a senior dog and a puppy. In all honesty, I usually have so much anxiety about leaving our dogs with anyone and sometimes cannot relax on vacation. This was not the case with Tina. I felt fully confident and trusted her completely. We hope to book with her whenever we need to leave town from now on! And our girls seemed so happy and loved her, too!

Star provided a calming and nurturing stay with Douglas. He is a new pet, a rescue with reactive tendencies who needs a lot of attention and patience. That's exactly what he got from her, and I came home to a very happy boy. I am delighted in the care she took of my home while staying. The insights she shared were a welcomed "second pair of eyes" in helping to better understand and support my dog. We have booked her for another stay soon.

We needed a petsitter to stay at our house while we were away for 8 days. This was our first trip away from our dogs (rescues adopted in December and January). One dog takes a little while to warm up to new people (and she acts like she might eat them until she gets used to them). The other dog is VERY ENERGETIC and tends to get into trouble if left unsupervised for extended amounts of time. I read through Rover reviews for petsitters who would stay at house and James had excellent reviews even from owners with difficult dogs. We really appreciated him coming to our house not once but twice. for everyone to get more comfortable with each other before our trip. The "slow to warm up to new people" dog adopted James as her new parent and the rambunctious dog was renamed "Crazy" by him. (I think he means it in an endearing way?). Anyway, we were very happy w/ James and all not hesitate to used him again!
