House Sitting Hiawatha

“We didn't know Julie beforehand except for doing a brief meet-and-greet, but she stayed at our house with our small dog for a long weekend when we were traveling, and did a great job. I always worry about my little pup who is very shy and attached to my wife and me, and has a hard time warming up to other people. She was shy and probably confused at first, since this was only the second time we left her for the weekend, but she clearly warmed up to Julie after the first day. Julie was great about promptly responding to our messages asking how things were going, and sending pictures and videos. She kept our house very clean and even took out the trash and washed our bedding before we got home. I would definitely hire her again!”

Gabriel & Yoshika G.

“Mercy sent lots of updates and both of our pups seemed to like her a lot! Everything was in great shape when we got home and we won't hesitate to use her services again.”

Rachel & Josh O.

“Carolyn treated my dog so well! She followed my notes to a T and ensured that she got lots of exercise and stimulation. She also provided frequent updates and photos. I can tell she cares deeply about animals, and I’m grateful she was able to watch my girl while I was out of town. I will definitely keep her in mind for future pet sitting needs!”

Michelle G.

“Data helped me out in a pinch! Beau reacted badly to another dog staying with another sitter and left me worried i was going to have to cancel my four day camping trip with my kids. Dana was willing to take us on at the last moment and did a wonderful job keeping my pup happy (along with keeping an eye on my two cats and feeding my fish)!! She had the touch for getting Beau to let down his guard and allow himself to be pet and even cuddle with her on the couch!”

Laura M.

“Rachel was amazing! She did a great job with our cats and dog. We unexpectedly needed a second overnight pet sitter, she was quick to respond to my request. Thankfully, it worked with her schedule. It was a relief to know someone familiar with our pets was able to care for them again.”

Lindsay G.

“Lilah is now our go to Rover for home stays when we are out of town! She checks in when she arrives, sends pictures daily and takes our dog for a walk. We will gladly have her stay again!”

Megan G.

“I had a great first experience with Penny! She was on time, sent updates and photos, left my home the way she found it, and seemed happy to spend time with my pups. Will definitely have her back.”

Angie P.

“McKenna is so prepared, communicative, and sweet to our pup! She asked questions when needed and kept us updated on how our dog was doing while we were away. She also took great care of our home and we would be delighted to have her back any time, and completely trust her with our dog. 10/10 experience!!”

Megan S.

“We had Alex for a short overnight stay and she was great! She provided us with updates throughout the day… we had no worries while we were away, knowing our dog was being well taken care of. We would love to have Alex again sometime!”

Jennifer L.

“Sabrina stayed at our house for a long weekend to take care of our three large dogs. She followed all of our instructions and made sure our dogs were happy and safe while we were gone. We loved getting pics and updates to know that everyone was doing well. It was so nice coming home to a clean house and happy dogs ? Thanks Sabrina!”

Katie J.

“Tilia did a fantastic job with my stubborn but rambunctious dog Luna. Luna was in great spirits when I got home, the house was in perfect condition and she even watered my plants! Would definitely have her sit Luna again.”

Julie H.

“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”

Joanne N.

“What a great dog sitter. Her and Stella had a great time. She took her for walks, dealt with some of her unbeknownst issues. Would highly recommend and will be using her for dog walking and house sitting. Again, thank you so much!”

Paul L.

“Absolutely wonderful to have Jessica watch our dog. She was an excellent communicator and made us feel safe leaving her with him. The house was cleaner than when we left! Could not recommend more!”

Eric M.

“They say do what you love and the rest will follow. Well, it's clear that Marykay loves what she does because she's very good at it. She definitely loves cats. She took good care of my house as well. She even left me a gift for when I got home. I would definitely request her services again. It was nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about what was happening at home.”

Roberta S.

“Beth was a fantastic sitter for our slightly wild but very loving pit-mix, Roxie. And our unusually friendly cat, Vegetable. She was extremely communicative and thoughtful sending us lots of nice pictures while we were out of town. Thank you Beth for taking such good care of Roxie and Vegetable (and our house!). I think Roxie is already looking forward to spending more time with you soon!”

Rebecca B.

“Great experience, wonderful communication, and took good care of our dog and home. Followed all pet care directions for my reactive dog and took care of the unexpected snow so that Bear could still go outside! We look forward to working with Brandon again.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a love for pets of all kinds. Growing up, I cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, turtles, and more, which gave me an appreciation for each animal’s unique personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet sat for friends and family ensuring the loved ones received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply providing companionship, I enjoy helping pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently on a career break and based at home for the summer before heading abroad again later this year. This gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for consistent, reliable pet care. I’m used to being adaptable from long-term travel, and I enjoy having structure and responsibility in my day-to-day routine. Pet sitting fits perfectly into this chapter by giving me a meaningful way to stay active, grounded, and local while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Because my schedule isn’t tied to a traditional job at the moment, I’m able to prioritize drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays, and give pets my full attention while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent, calm, and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, litter box care, medication if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, whether they’re social and playful or more independent and shy, and I adjust my approach so they feel safe and comfortable with me in their space. I always move at the pet’s pace and focus on building trust rather than forcing interaction. In addition to direct pet care, I keep the home tidy and respectful: cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, maintaining litter boxes, and leaving the space as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Emily is courteous, kind, dependable, a great communicator and just overall wonderful with our dog. We are repeat clients. Thank you Emily!”
