House Sitting Hertford

“Andrea was great with our two dogs and provided daily photos and was constantly in touch with us during our trip. We would recommend her and we will definitely be booking her in the future!!”

Lance R.

“Genevieve was very wonderful to work with. Everything went smoothly for the week that we were away. She kept us updated and sent photos of our chickens and our dog. Without us asking, she offered to take the trash out for us, brought in our mail. She went above and beyond and bathed our pup and cleaned the chicken coop for us while we were away! Highly recommend Genevieve and will be requesting her for future needs.”

Deb R.

“Macee took great care of our pups! They enjoyed meeting Willow, who is a sweet dog as well!”

Dan H.

“Jennifer is amazing! Our dogs loved her and were noticeably calm and content when we got home. She spent so much time with them and really gave them lots of love and attention. They need medications and have a very detailed routine and Jennifer did everything they needed with no issues or concerns. Thank you so much! She is our favorite sitter now! 🙏”

About: I am a mom to 4 high-energy medium/large breed dogs. I am no stranger to cleaning up accidents, administering medications, handling pets with reactivity, and fulfilling exercise such as playing fetch, tug, flirt pole, long walks, brain stimulation (keeping up with training/commands) or simply snuggling if your baby is low activity. I have been a self-employed residential cleaner for over 8 years and create my own schedule allowing me the flexibility to care for your pets and mine! I am so grateful for all my clients who trust me to help take care of their home and I am hoping to build trust with pet parents as I would love to transition into pet care full time, it has always been what I am most passionate about. While I do have four dogs of my own, I am able to keep your dogs separate from mine at all times if requested and or necessary when boarding. I built my dogs their own apartment behind our house fully equipped with heat, ac, a bed, and doggie door leading to a separate fenced in area so your dog(s) does not have to be dog friendly and we are also child free so your dog can be the only baby in our home the duration of their stay! But if you would like for your dog(s) to have a playdate and a doggie daycare style stay that can be arranged as well!

About: After spending years in hospitality, I’ve built my career around providing exceptional care, creating positive experiences, and paying attention to every detail. Those same skills are what I bring to every pet I care for. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals over the years. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My hospitality background means you can expect reliability, clear communication, and outstanding service from start to finish. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, follow your pet’s routine closely, and treat your home and your furry family members with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring someone to watch your pet—you’re choosing someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and is committed to giving you complete peace of mind. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet and know they were treated like family every step of the way. My pets keep me on a schedule at home and I’m happy to their schedules in your home. Routines are important to them which I will adhere to. I will abide by your schedule and direction when caring for your animals in your home. I know that being at their home is best for the animal.

About: I've taken care of dogs for about 5 years now. I have most of my experience from my own dog, but I've spent plenty of time around family and friends pets to know I can take care of both small and large dogs. I already do walks and runs with my own dog, so getting in some extra exercise with your pet is just fine! I'm currently a college student, so my schedule is a little wonky sometimes. I can do morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins on your pet during the weekday, and and free all day on weekends. I currently have more time in the mornings and evenings for any extra care your pet might need. It really depends on what kind of job I'm doing. If I'm doing a drop in, I'll make sure to give the pet attention (if they're around) while I'm cleaning up and feeding them, and will stick around to give them some play time. If I'm staying at the home, I'll usually be in an open area where they can relax and come to me if they want to play, while making sure they get taken out regularly. I'll usually be doing college work, so my break is their play time.

“Tara was an outstanding pet sitter for our Juniper. We actually booked her as a house sitter as well and she took care of our other animals and random things that came up. Very responsible and I could tell Juniper was being looked after and loved. Thank you so much. Would book her again anytime!”

Jessica K.

“Thor house sat our two dogs while we took an extended trip. His communication was excellent and the dogs were very well cared for and loved. He even provided “report cards” on each dog which were both adorable and helpful. I would definitely use him again and give an enthusiastic recommendation to anyone!!”

About: I’ve had a pet (dogs, cat and rabbit) since I was 9 years old. I’ve personally cared for my own pets, family member’s pets, family friends and been recommended to friends of family. I’ve walked the dogs, played with them, fed them, made sure they are taken care of, and most importantly- feel secure and loved while their loved ones are away! I’ve taken part in puppy training classes for my current dog and am familiar with calming techniques and proper training for puppies or older dogs. I’m very active and love to keep the dogs company, whether that be taking them for a walk around the block, to their favorite dog park (if okay with owners of course), or just playing fetch in the backyard! I currently work full time but am available both weekends anytime and during the week after 3 pm. I do make every effort to spend as much time as possible caring and attending to your furry friend! I make sure to ensure the pets have water at all times, a clean environment, and a safe environment free from any hazards. I personally take my dog’s collar off if he is in his crate but would check with clients if they prefer that while I am gone. I make sure they get enough exercise and play time (and snuggles!)

About: I have hands-on experience raising my own dog, Bentley, who is just over a year old. Taking care of him has taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand a dog’s needs at every stage. We spend a lot of time going on walks, playing ball, and playing tug-of-war, so I’m very comfortable keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy. What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, good at reading behavior, and I always take the time to build trust with each pet so they can relax and have fun. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog, Bentley. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention. I have a flexible schedule, so I can easily include additional pets and give them the same level of care, time, and consistency. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, no matter where they are. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. I stick to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and sleep so they feel at ease, and I always supervise playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep things consistent for their pet. I pay attention to behavior, make sure they’re secure at all times, and give them lots of love and attention. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“I needed a very last minute sitter and Colleen did wonderfully. The dogs definitely enjoyed their time with her and I highly recommend her if you need someone stat”

Meghan F.

“Hannah was a great choice to watch our two dogs and cat while we were away for the week! She sent daily updates and picture the whole time. We would recommend Hannah as a sitter for sure.”

Caleb J.

“Rose did an amazing job! She is very loving and very easy-going! And helped us with a last-minute all day long taking care of puppies and dogs day! She’s very kind and the dogs loved her! Thank you so much!”

About: I'm a remote voice actor with a flexible schedule, so your pets get lots of companionship—not just quick drop-ins. As a longtime homeowner and property manager, I also understand the importance of keeping your home clean, secure, and well cared for. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, including energetic breeds, senior pets, multi-pet households, and pets with unique routines. I'm comfortable with crate training, positive reinforcement, basic medications, and dogs that need a little extra patience on walks. Whether it's a long hike, a game of fetch, or a quiet afternoon with a cuddly cat, I adapt to each pet's personality and routine. Clear communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your pets and home are in great hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely as a voice actor, so I have the flexibility to schedule walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day rather than trying to fit them around a traditional office schedule. I genuinely enjoy being active, so daily walks, hikes, and outdoor time are something I look forward to. When I'm home, I like providing a calm, consistent environment where pets can stick to their normal routines and get plenty of attention and companionship. Whether it's a quick neighborhood walk, a game of fetch, or simply keeping a cat company while I work, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medications (if needed), and any training or household guidelines you provide. I believe pets are happiest when their daily routine stays consistent. Since I work remotely, I'm home much of the day, giving pets plenty of companionship and reducing the amount of time they're left alone. Whether it's long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping a cat company while I work, I adjust my care to each pet's personality and needs. I also treat every home with the same respect I would my own—keeping it clean, secure, and well cared for. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

About: My family has tradition of owning pugs and now I own my own pet. I've always been around animals from in my own home to looking after my friends pets. I have taken care of labs, poodles and collies to name a few breeds I have dog sat for. I have the patience, friendliness and responsibility to take care of any breed, age, gender and size. I look forward to making new canine friends and believe it will be mutual.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and have always been an animal lover ever since I was a child! A fun little backstory about me...most teenagers get jobs to have money to go to the mall or whatever it is that they want to do, well my goal was to save up all the money I made and get my own puppy. That was one of the best things I ever did, I had her for 16 years. Other than having dogs all my life, I also have kennel technician and veterinary assistant experience. Before I moved back to North Carolina, I was working the front desk at a non profit animal hospital. I feel that I am a very genuine and good hearted person. I am willing to walk/jog/run/play fetch, honestly, I will do pretty much anything to make them happy while you’re away and would love to build a relationship with your fur baby!! I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open every day!♥️. It’s just my 4 year old and I until about 4pm Monday-Friday, so as long as your fur baby is good with kids anytime from early morning until then works! After 4 I have open availability without him (incase your baby isn’t good with kids). My weekends are generally 100% open so I’d love to help in any way that I can! Hope to hear from you!! 🤗 I can care for your pet(s) in my home or yours. Whichever you prefer. I promise I will always make sure that they feel comfortable, loved, and happy.

“Zimir was wonderful! He took great care of my goldens and cat. He kept me updated with photos and updates and was very responsive! He left my house just the way I left it & was very sweet from the very first meet and greet. If you are looking for someone to watch your fur babies I recommend him! ☺️ I will definitely be using him in the future.”

I come to you and your pet’s home so the pets can be more comfortable in their normal surroundings! I am currently a substitute teacher! I can shape my work schedule around the care for your pets! I am mostly available during the week and weekends. I care for your pets like they are my own!

I make sure everyone has enough water and eats all their food! I give treats at the appropriate times!

About: I love all animals- big and small. I'm developed a patience and desire to work with animal from a young age. Having worked at a vet hospital during my high school era, experiencing dogs of all ages. Later working with the Wag app to walk over 100 dogs( some regular clients ) around and in the Richmond area. Ive enjoyed week long sittings with fur friends, making sure they feel comfortable and less anxious while humans are away. Taking walks and precaution about dogs sitting for too long without exercise. Ive enjoy fur friends of all size and have developed safe skills for walking dogs that pull or dogs that are anxious. I also enjoy curious dogs that stop and sniff everything. Willing to connect and answer questions.
