Dog Walking In Hawthorne

About: I’m all of my friends and families first choice to watch their pets when they are out of town. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I’ve always had dogs in my life growing up so I’m very familiar with reading their body language and knowing how to care for them. I work full time but have a lot of flexibility to check on your pet throughout the day and have the opportunity to work remote as well I’ve never a met a pet that didn’t like me. I’m very good at reading dogs body langue and knowing what they need. Cats also like me and I’m good at reading their body language as well

About: Experienced house and pet sitter with eight 5-star references out of 9 sits I booked through Trusted Housesitters in 2025-26 (link below). I have had cats my whole adult life and fell in love with dogs while spending time with my siblings' dogs. I am now a fully converted dog lover who hopes to get my face licked by every passing puppy. Down-to-earth Midwest woman with lots of common sense. I was a homeowner for almost 25 years. I am not one of those people who looks at my phone constantly so your pet will get my attention, not just my presence. On long walks I may listen to a book on tape or podcast with only one ear bud so I am always situationally aware. No substance use or bad habits other than knitting and chocolate. I am in the process of getting direct testimonials but below are reviews copied from THS website (copy and paste link to view these live on the site.) ........?promo=RAF908909&utm_campaign=house-and-pet-sitters&utm_medium=house-and-pet-sitters&utm_source=copy Carol, Wheat Ridge, CO · 18 Jan - 02 Feb 2026 Christina was wonderful with Zappa. She sent daily photos and texts. She tried everything to get him to play, moved his “step” to her bed so he could sleep with her and spent most of her time with him. She left the house spotless and even lef5 a pot of homemade soup for us. Would highly recommend. Melanie, Verona, WI · 07 Jan - 16 Jan 2026 Christina was truly wonderful!! She gave so much love to each of my four babies, and they absolutely adored her company. She took my doggos for walks and sent me videos, they were so happy and excited! My two cats were super in love with her too and slept and cuddled with her. She was very organized, communicative, self-sufficient, and left my house in impeccable shape. She has a great sense of humor too! :) Thanks a million again Christina for your super precious help and for all the love you gave to my dearest precious fur babies. Hope we meet soon again! Melanie Verona, WI · 31 Dec 2025 - 01 Jan 2026 Christina is an amazing pet sitter! She is very thoughtful about pet care and clearly LOVES animals. She took super great care of my cats who immediately felt at ease with her and slept with her, even if one of my two cats is pretty shy. She was attentionate, loving with them and left my house in a great shape! She also sent me pictures which I greatly appreciated. Thanks a million again Christina for you super precious help! Melanie Annabel, Denver, CO · 26 Nov - 03 Dec 2025 Christina was great- Nelly was obviously very content when I got home and basically ignored me for the first day- always a good sign! She was very self sufficient and I didn’t worry at all while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her for future sitters! Emily Boulder, CO · 20 Nov - 26 Nov 202 We are so grateful for the care Christina provided to our dog, cat, and home. She went out of her way to meet with us in person before the sit which gave us peace of mind. Our shy cat warmed up instantly to her (thanks to the gifts Christina brought her) and we appreciated the pictures and videos she sent us. The dog got lots of walks and was well cared for. She was thoughtful and careful with our home and was willing to adjust her schedule at the last minute during the final day of her sit. She was communicative throughout. We’d welcome Christina back any time. Elaine, Dallas, TX · 30 Aug - 08 Oct 2025 It was a pleasure to have Christina at my house in Dallas for 5 weeks. She was organized before and during the sit and responded promptly to communication. The true sign of a good sitter is when my cat ignores me when I get home, and Duffy was pretty indifferent to my return! I know that he got lots of attention from Christina. She sent photos of him, and even bought him some new toys, which was very thoughtful. She also watered my 9tiny) yard, which i appreciated during an unusually hot September-october. Suzanne, Evergreen, CO · 12 Aug - 19 Aug 2025 Christina was wonderful. She checked in and was very responsible with the dogs. She was also very flexible!! James, Madison, WI · 18 Jun - 14 Jul 2025 Christina was amazing from the initial contact, right the way through to the visit. Christina was fantastic in both her communication, cleanliness respectfulness of the house, and (most importantly) looking after our 3 cats. In speaking with her prior to the visit and her care during the housesit, as well as all the pictures and videos we received while we were away, Christina was the perfect person to take care of our fur babies. I am available for day-time visits, or overnight care. Digital nomad so I am around a lot during the day, with a flexible schedule so I can meet your pet's needs first. I will keep tabs on them, put reminders for scheduled events on my phone, and check in with them frequently outside of scheduled care, and will contact the pet owner with any and all questions. I'm good at reading their cues, love to snuggle and play, I'm happy to have them sleep with me if they prefer. I'm strict about following owner's rules and instructions. I prefer to learn a little bit about your pet's personality, quirks, likes and dislikes to provide better care--and so I can tell quickly if something is a bit off. I will communicate with you as much or little as you like, happy to send pictures. I like to be able to ask questions to make sure that I understand your pet and its needs as well as your house and its needs.

About: Hi, I’m Ruby! I'm a Humane Society volunteer and I’ve been house sitting and taking care of animals for about six years. I’m a college student planning to study animal behavior and marine biology, and I’m using this opportunity to get more hands on experience with animals while saving up for school. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, chickens, goats, horses, birds, fish, and more, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and care needs. I take pet care seriously and always do my best to follow routines and make animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, experienced, and passionate about animals, I’d be happy to help! I’m currently a college student and in the fall and spring have classes 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs) in the mornings and in the afternoons. I am very flexible other than that! I am here to assist following the usual routines of the animals in my care and to ensure that they are safe, healthy, and happy.

“Patrycja was a fantastic and professional caretaker for our dog Theo. Patrycja went above and beyond our expectations to give Theo great care and exercise, and did so consistently until we moved to a neighborhood.”

About: I know firsthand how hard it can be to find reliable care for your pets—I have my own pup, Reggie, and often help care for the dogs and cats of friends, neighbors, and family. My partner and I would love to help look after your furry family members so you can enjoy stress-free time away. I work from home 3 days a week so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to do morning, evening and local drop-ins at lunch. I am very experienced with managing reactive dogs on walks as well as managing emergency situations. With clear instructions, I'm happy to accommodate any of your pets quirks!

“Ernst is super friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. We have 70 lbs adolescent pup who has a lot of energy to give. Ernst is great at keeping our pup in line. I already notice an improvement in our pet’s loose leash walking!”

About: I've helped out at a shelter for a large chunk of my life before I moved for college, taking care of dogs and cats. I have some experience with basic training as well. I'm currently in college so my schedule changes with my classes, and outside of school i'm usually hanging out with my cats but I'd be happy to share that love with your pets as well. I try and keep any pet in my care safe, even if I'm only giving them a walk or checking in on them. I care for any pets just like they are my own.

About: I’m an incoming veterinary student and pet owner. I’ve grown up taking care of my cat and dog and love spending my time with animals. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past 3 years. Daily dog walks are an important part of my routine and I have a flexible schedule. I love meeting new people and animals on the island! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am an active person. I also keep my dog leashed and am amenable to dog’s specific needs.
