House Sitting in Orchards

Lyla was amazing responding to a last minute request for housesitting with our two labradoodles. Lyla was a wonderful communicator and our two pups are very happy. We’ll definitely book again soon.

Janexis and Zach were fantastic! They were prompt, communicated very well and gave my 2 dogs excellent care. I received photos every day (they asked how much / often I wanted to be updated) and they were thoughtful and responsive throughout the entire stay. We got stuck in Japan for an extra day, and fortunately they weren't booked and were able to extend their stay, so grateful for that. I came home to happy pups :) I would most definitely book them again, they're wonderful!

Anthea was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and was a bit nervous. But Anthea was extremely professional, putting all my fears to rest. She met with me before the sit, asking all the right questions. She took wonderful care of my dog and three cats (one who has medical issues), giving me daily updates and pictures. I would definitely love to have her sit again!

Skyler is easy to work with and very down to earth and personable. Definitely goes above and beyond for her clients and their pets. Very refreshing to work with and depend on !!

Pat took care of our two dogs over a long weekend. She was communicative and took great care of the dogs even though they both weren’t feeling great for the first few days. She left the house spotless! Would recommend her and book again!

Brooklyn took care of our older Aussie and home while we were gone overnight. She was very conscientious and attentive, keeping us updated with messages and photos. She also left our home in perfect condition. We came home to a happy dog and feel confident she received excellent care while we were gone. We recommend Brooklyn to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

This was my first time using Rover and Jacob made it an amazing experience. He was very kind and welcoming with our two large dogs. Jacob sent daily photos of our dogs and was willing to go above and beyond for them. Took them to play and walk and made sure they were completely taken care of. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for service!

Ellen was PHENOMENAL! OMG. Could not have gotten luckier with her and will absolutely request her support again. She did a great job and helped us feel so confident and at ease with our aging cat being supported while we vacationed in Central Europe for a few weeks. Can't say enough great things about her as a house/pet sitter!

Paul took care of our dogs for 6 days while we went on a vacation. We met with Jan and Paul beforehand and went through an extensive checklist that helped reassure us that our dogs would be in good hands. We received daily updates, pictures and videos of our dogs which we absolutely loved to see. Paul stayed in our house and left it better than he found it. Paul did great handling the little intricacies both our dogs have which really helped put us at ease while traveling. We hope to rebook him for future trips!

Can’t say enough great things about Janesia! She takes such pride in her work and you can tell. We come back to a clean home and happy dogs. So grateful we found her!

Shelley was amazing with taking care of my little one. I will definitely continue to use her service in the future. Great with communication and keeping me posted with pictures. 10 out of 10 will recommend

This was our first time leaving our 1 year old puppy with her two older pup siblings and Brigit was phenomenal with all three. Very communicative and eased any anxiety we may had prior to the trip. Highly recommend!

Amanda was very caring with our animals. She kept us updated and checked in to make sure their behavior was normal if she was unsure about something. Our pets seemed happy and relaxed with Amanda, and we would happily contact her again.

Molly did a great job taking care of my dog Beau while I was out of town. I would definitely book with her again.

An Exceptional Sitter — We Couldn’t Have Been More Fortunate! Finding the right sitter for our two dogs has always been a challenge. Both weigh over 100 pounds, are highly protective, and are neither particularly dog-friendly nor people-friendly. They are more like guard dogs than conventional pets, accustomed to their own private quarters and the freedom to roam over an acre of fenced grounds. Since they were puppies, we have relied on a trusted sitter who flies in from San Francisco whenever we travel. While this arrangement worked beautifully for years, it made even a spontaneous weekend getaway difficult. Determined to find someone local, we spent considerable time interviewing dozens of potential sitters, but none seemed quite right. Then we found Kristen, and what a wonderful discovery she has been! From their very first meeting, Kristen connected with our dogs in a way that genuinely surprised us. She has a natural ease and confidence around them, along with the patience and sensitivity to understand their individual temperaments. She listened carefully to every instruction, followed their routines meticulously, and attended to every detail without missing a beat. Most telling of all, our dogs were happy and relaxed in her care. For two animals who do not readily accept strangers, that speaks volumes. It is difficult to express just how much it means to find someone we can trust with dogs who are not easy to entrust to anyone. Kristen has given us the freedom to travel without worry, something we had almost resigned ourselves to living without. We consider ourselves extraordinarily fortunate to have found her. Kristen is conscientious, dependable, intuitive, and truly exceptional at what she does. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without the slightest reservation. Thank you, Kristen, for caring for our dogs so beautifully and for giving us such invaluable peace of mind.
