House Sitting in Heathcote

“Gabriella was extremely patient and understanding with my senior pup. He has many challenges - he can’t hear, his eye sight is poor and he was very anxious when I left. Gabriella gently and slowly gained his trust and he was very happy when we arrived home. She is wonderful and left the house clean and in order.”

“Boryana is an extremely professional and reliable pet sitter. She has excellent communication skills, is very attentive to details, and did an outstanding job taking care of my cats. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality pet sitting services!”

About: I have been dog sitting in different capacities since I was in high school. I started off dog sitting for family and neighbors and now have a base of returning clients, one of which has show dogs. I have even been hired by the IWCA (Irish Wolfhound Club of America) to watch puppies and walk dogs at an international show. I have a base knowledge for training basic skills such as sit, down, stay, come and so on. I also have some experience working with reactive dogs and will work at their pace. Bottom line, I will love your fur babies like they're my fur babies! I work full time, but I am usually home by 4 pm so evenings and weekends are when I am most available. I can be flexible though! My calendar is currently open through 2025. If you want to book in advance for 2026, please message me and I will let you know if I can accommodate your dates! In my home, it's the dogs house and I just live there lol! I understand that how I train my dogs and the rules in my house don't work for everyone. When I am sitting for you, I will follow your rules and guidance for how you want your home run. My number one concern is safety followed closely by respect. Additionally, if you're a new dog owner looking for some guidance I am more than happy to help out where I can!

“Kimberly was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dog Murphy. She sent updates each day and even left a detailed recap of their time together for us to read when we returned home. It was clear Murphy had a great time with her! We will absolutely be asking Kimberly to take care of Murphy again, and we highly recommend her to care for your pets.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and connection I have with animals. I’ve cared for many of my friends’ pets over the years—dogs and cats, and I naturally bond with them. They tend to feel calm and happy around me. I have experience with both playful puppies and sweet senior pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. Whether it’s long walks, gentle care, or lots of cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. et care fits into my routine naturally—it’s something I truly enjoy! Even though I work full-time, I have a hybrid schedule and work from home three days a week, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets with lots of attention and love. I’m also off on weekends and finish work early on Fridays, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and cuddles. Taking care of animals truly brings me joy—it’s one of the highlights of my week! I treat every pet like part of the family when caring for them in their own home. I make sure their environment stays calm, safe, and comfortable, following all instructions from the pet parents carefully—feeding schedules, favorite toys, and any special needs. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and prioritize the pet’s comfort and security. I also provide regular updates to build trust and keep owners at ease while they’re away.

“This was my first time using Rover and Elizabeth was terrific watching my 2 dogs for 9 days. Communication was great and our dogs took to her immediately.”

“She was wonderful and went above and beyond. Will definitely be using her again.”

“Vee was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my dog with love and dedication and left my home in pristine condition. She communicated regularly and was very responsible. Most important, she was patient and determined to get my dog to eat and take her meds (she is older and has health issues) and kept me informed. I could not ask for better care! My dog is happy and healthy!”

“Stacey was prompt and arrived on time! Exceptional care provided by Stacey! Ralphie was well-loved and tended to with great attention to detail. Highly recommend her services!"”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for the past couple years. I have taken care of both family and friends dogs as well as neighbors from word of mouth. I am currently working remotely part time from home so I am generally pretty free to dog sit or pop in to feed any pets during the day. I can't take care of any pets in my home, but can go to your home and either dog sit from there or walk your dog.

“Megan was great and I felt super comfortable leaving our dogs in her hands. She took good care of our house and we came home to happy dogs and a clean home!”

Kelsey P.

“Andrew Z. is absolutely wonderful, the best sitter we have ever had! He came to our house and watched our difficult, 12 year old dog for over 2 weeks. He had to deal with health issues and the vet and handled everything brilliantly. Our dog was in terrific, happy condition when we returned. We strongly recommend Andrew to anyone..”

“Alexa helped me on graduation day! I was so busy getting prepared to graduate, I forgot that I needed help with my cat. She accepted my last minute request and it put my mind at ease. She is great with him. Thank you Alexa. Your a life saver! 😻”

Danika A.

“Thank you Mike and Whitney for taking such good care of our senior dog, Rex. We were anxious about leaving him because of his age but soon found out that he was well taken care of and comfortable in your home. Thanks also for your patience and responses checking in frequently on his progress.”

About: I’ve cared for my family’s and friends’ dogs and cats for years, and I truly love looking after their fur babies. I’ve been trusted to walk, feed, bathe, give medications, and of course, spend plenty of quality playtime with their pets while they’re away. I always make sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved—treating them as if they were my own. If you have any questions or would like more details, I’d be happy to chat! I’m pretty flexible with my schedule. I would do this part-time since I don’t have a full-time job. Which will give me plenty of time to be attentive and play with your fur baby. I will be available on weekdays, and flexible if it’s weekends if necessary. Since I don’t have a full-time job or live with dog at my home. My attention and care will be all on your pup. I would be home to keep your pup company to ensure they’re in the best care possible. If I need to go on run a quick errand such as grocery shopping, if your dog is crate trained I can easily crate your dog if needed.
