House Sitting Hartland

“We were really happy that Taylor was able to housesit for Sushi and Fish. They apparently enjoyed the attention she gave them, and they were really relaxed when we got home - not stressed as if they had been abandoned. We'd love to have Taylor take care of them again.”

“Olivia was a great overnight caregiver to Einstein while we were out of town for a weekend. She communicated well via text and provided daily photos. She was very respectful of the instructions that were provided and asked a couple of questions to validate. Einstein said he’d like her to stay over again soon, which I have already let her know potential dates.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, I am comfortable administering medication orally or injections. I am the friend that dog sit for others while they were away knowing their fur babies were loved and taken care of every time. I have experience with reactive dogs as well as pups on the anxious side. I love all animals, just say the word and I will make sure whatever you need gets done! I have an open schedule and can work around whatever you need. I have a part time delivering jobs and I set my own hours and plan on working around other's schedule. I have a fenced in yard and have space to crate your dogs here if needed. I am open to coming to your house, will take on walks or stay home to play if that's not their things. I prefer to go to client's homes but can make anything work!

About: I've had pets all through late childhood and into adulthood. I currently live in an apartment that makes owning pets difficult, but I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with a fluffy friend and a book. I've been able to get my "puppy fix" by petsitting for friends and family. I'm the one they call when they'll be out of town or working late to take care of their fluffy family member. I'm looking for more dogs and cats to add to my life long friend list. I currently work full time, 1 evening a week. I don't have any pets of my own to take care of, so i'm pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I'm available to come and visit a pet to give companionship, meals, potty breaks, etc. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets.

“Lisa did a great job and Izzy was well taken care of and seemed just fine when we got home. Our house was clean and we appreciated it. Lisa washed the sheets from the bed. She slept in. She didn’t have to do that but it was appreciated. Thank you Lisa. She was great thank you so much for your commitment Lisa.”

“Michelle was polite, courteous and professional. Overall, she did the best she could with my youngest rescue being timid to the point of going inside the house for the three days I was travelling. Not her fault and I would like to continue for future trips in hopes of her acclimating to my shy, timid boy.”

Victor H.

“Chrystal was amazing! If I could give her more than five stars, I would. I could tell by the daily adorable pictures she sent that my dogs were happy, safe and well cared for. When I got home, my boys were happy to see me, but there was absolutely no signs of stress from me being gone. They loved her!!!!”

“Christine made our dogs feel well cared for and loved. She spent a lot of time snuggling with them for us. I loved getting pictures of them when we were gone.”

Samantha J.

“Karah came on short notice to help when 1) The first handyman who was going to install a dog door canceled, and 2) My stubborn dogs who have had a dog door for 13 years decided they didn’t wanna use this new one. She stayed pretty much all day one day and came for a visit the next day and thought my dogs to use the dog door while I was gone at work, thank goodness. I think I’ll ask her to stop in for one visit on future work days and I hope she’ll be available! She took cute pictures of my dogs too.”

Sher P.

“Nancy was an excellent sitter! We had her housesit our 2 cats and senior dog who takes medication and she did a great job with all of them. She went above and beyond, and it was a huge relief having someone we trust to look after our animals while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats. Growing up, my family had Dalmatians, which probably began my love for large dogs. I currently have two rescue, pitty-mixes. I love the playful energy and am understanding that different dogs have different needs. My dog, Bear, is always getting into something, so I've become pretty good with first-aid! I am a very organized person and have dealt with medications given at particular times. I'd rather be overly cautious than not cautious enough! I have a senior cat that I rescued in 2010. She runs the house and that's ok by me! I love snuggling with dogs and cats alike and giving them all the attention. My education background is a Masters in Secondary Education, with a concentration in Biology, and a bachelor's degree in psychology. I'm totally OK with spending the night with your pets if needed. My husband can watch our crazy boys and cat :) I used to teach middle school science when I lived in Maryland but now I'm a stay-at-home mom in Illinois! Just let me know when you are needed and I'll make it work! I am a very organized, clean and tidy person. I totally understand how much we love our fur babies and will treat them like I'd treat my own. Again, I'd rather be overly cautious than not enough! Our babies can't voice for themselves so it is important to always advocate for them and do what is in their best interest!

About: I believe that every pet deserves individualized care and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine love and respect for animals, which I demonstrate by providing them with a nurturing, safe, and family-like environment. Your pet will never feel like they’re just another animal in a kennel – they’ll feel right at home, like part of the family. I can help puppies with basic commands and socialization, as well as offering gentle care to senior pets who require extra patience and special attention. A big part of my service is the daily walks. I understand how important it is for pets to get their daily exercise and mental stimulation. I make sure to provide enriching walks, whether it’s a calm stroll for a senior pet or a longer, more adventurous walk for an active dog. I adjust the walks according to the pet’s needs, and I always ensure they’re enjoyable, safe, and full of exploration. For added peace of mind, I share GPS-tracked walk updates, so you can follow along on your pet's experience. In addition, I keep owners informed throughout with photos and messages, so you never have to worry about your pet while you're away. My routine includes regular walks and playtime, ensuring your pet stays active and happy. I have full availability to care for pets, and I’m happy to accommodate flexible schedules to meet the needs of both the pets and their owners. Whether it's during the day, late evenings, or weekends, I’m here to provide care whenever it’s needed. Feel free to reach out at any time, and I’ll gladly arrange a time that works for you and your pet! When caring for pets in their own homes or taking them for walks, my primary focus is always on safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. In your home: I ensure the home is secure and free of hazards, paying close attention to areas where the pet may be most comfortable. I follow any special instructions from the pet owner regarding their pet’s habits, food, and preferences to maintain a consistent and safe environment. Whether I’m watching them at home or during a walk, I treat them with the same care as I would my own pets, ensuring they are always safe, comfortable, and happy. During walks: I prioritize safety by ensuring your dog is always under control, whether in urban or outdoor settings. I also ensure that pets are properly hydrated and not overexerted during their walks, adjusting the route and pace based on the pet’s age, size, and energy level. Trust is built by maintaining clear communication with the pet owner, regularly sending updates, photos, and videos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being and activities. This ensures the owners can trust that their pets are receiving the best care while they’re away.

About: I’m a full-time higher education professional with years of experience in positions requiring trust, responsibility, and attention to detail. I provide calm, reliable care while keeping pets in their familiar environment. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect. I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus, taking care of only regular clients, but I’m back on the hunt for new furry friends! Please note that I did change my first name legally a few years back which you may observe in the reviews. I adore dogs but with my busy lifestyle, ownership is not in the cards for me. I believe they are a huge responsibility not to be taken lightly and I honor that by recognizing the limitations in my life. But that's where you come in! I get my snugs, and you get someone who will care for your fur baby as their own fur baby! I’m currently caring for animals in their home. As a military veteran, I understand how stressful it can be to travel often and worry about my little friends at home. Consistency and trust are deeply rooted in the work I do.

About: Caring for animals is a passion of mine since I can remember. I have 2 years in boarding/ doggie daycare experience at a facility, 1 year emergency veterinary experience, and 10 years specializing in animal rehabilitation. I am able to not just walk Your pet but incorporate strengthening exercises if needed to help Build/maintain muscle. In my rehab career I carried out many treatments that enhanced quality of life for puppies all the way to our senior pets. My Experience includes : post-surgical care, medical care needs , athletic exercises, prosthetics care/carts , and so much more! I am able to provide those high drive dogs with a mental workout along with a physical workout. I am also able to provide a nice neighborhood walk, or even cuddles on the couch if you’re pet just needs some lovin! I am trained in animal massage and passive range of motion (stretching) to add some TLC if wanted/needed. I have small and large animal experienceI including reptiles! I would love to help provide care for your fur babies. Every pet is different and I understand they all have a tailored type of care that is needed. I am happy to get to know you and your pets and give you confidence when you are away that they will be cared for the way you would care for them. I am a mom of 2 school Aged children and I have a daytime job that is part time. I am looking to add some animal care into my weekly routine to fulfill My passion as I navigate mom life and help others find quality care for their pets. In my home care would be very selective for me as I have a house full of my own. I do have a lot of experience in overnight care. I have a 6ft privacy fence. In your home I would meet whatever needs you have while caring for your pet if we are a good match for that situation ☺️

“Cheyenne was great with our husky Jasmine. We came home to a happy safe puppy and that's exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely use Cheyenne again!”

“It was so great to have Jana stay at our home and watch our pets (2 dogs, tortoise, and 4 fish) while we were away for a week. They felt completely comfortable with her and we felt the same leaving them in her care. We would love to have her care for them again.”

Jen A.

“Ashlee was wonderful with my senior pup who needed a LOT of extra care. She ensured that I, the worried mom, got tons of photos and updates throughout my time away. She really put me at ease and handled the many needs of my older sick pup with great care, kindness, and professionalism. She stayed at my home with my pup and left the house in great shape. We will certainly be asking her to watch our dog again in the future.”

About: Had cats all my life and dogs for last 12 years. Animals have a sixth sense about people and I'm one of those they seek out for rubs, cuddles, playtime, snacks and love... I'm working FT so im only available evenings after 5 and all times on the weekends. I'm also available for overnights at your location and can leave for work from anywhere. I will only be able to care for pets at your home as we currently have 2 cats (one who is very persnickedy) and a senior dog rescue who is going blind and is afraid of everyone.

“Was very communicative and the dogs loved her!”

About: It’s been a while since I offered services, but I’m getting back into it and would love to care for your babies! I have always been a dog owner - if I could rescue every dog in the world I would! Instead, I'll gladly help take care of other peoples' angels and call it a day. I recently lost my dog of 12 years and am ready to pour my puppy love into your dogs. I work from home so will always be around. I work from home so am always around - your dog will not be left alone! I will only accept bookings for days and times that I have nothing else planned so I can keep my focus on your animal! I have a yard that is partially fenced, so I will take your pup on walks or only be outside with them leashed. I take safety seriously!
