Pet Sitting Hiawatha

“Simply the best. Courtney is kind, thoughtful, and meticulous. I could see in the daily photos how much my cat trusted and relaxed with Courtney’s attention. Thank you again!”

About: I became a dog mom in 2026 to my handsome boy Dice and quickly got involved with the rescue I adopted him from. Since then, I’ve fostered 20+ dogs and even foster failed with Ace! I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities and have experience with shy, fearful, excitable, reactive, and easygoing dogs. I’ve also completed four levels of obedience training with my dogs. My own dogs have taught me a lot about meeting dogs where they are. Dice is a senior gentleman who loves leisurely walks filled with sniffing and marking. Ace is my four-year-old shy boy who was very shut down and scared of everything when I got him. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding—and today he’s a total love bug! I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, learning their cues, and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I’m available weekdays and have flexibility to tailor walks and visits to what your dog needs. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a run, a short potty break, or a leisurely sniff-and-explore adventure, I’m happy to follow their lead. I want walks to be enjoyable for your dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m doing Rover during a career transition because I can’t think of a better way to spend my weekdays than getting outside, getting some exercise, and hanging out with dogs! ❤️ Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m comfortable working with reactive dogs and will follow your guidance on how to reinforce their training and manage their triggers. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special needs and will carefully follow any instructions, medications, routines, or other care requirements you provide. What you can expect from me: * 🐾 Plenty of attention, patience & affection * 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog’s needs and personality * 🐾 Respect for your dog’s routines and training * 🐾 A calm, thoughtful approach with nervous or reactive dogs * 🐾 Photos and updates after visits * 🐾 Someone who genuinely loves getting to know each dog After fostering 20+ dogs, I’ve learned that every dog communicates differently. I’ll take the time to understand your dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Allison was great. She was very attentive to my cat and she was very understanding of the needs of a senior cat. I got regular updates and pictures and Allison put my cat, and me, very much at ease.”

“Sally was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs during her drop-in visits and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we always appreciated the updates and photos she sent after each visit. We wouldn't hesitate to book Sally again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Sally!”

“Brian was a great sitter for my 2 cats. I was out of town during the big snow in February and Brian made his way to my house each day through the bad roads and bitter cold and even picked up some wet food for the girls as my homecoming was delayed during storm. I would HIGHLY recommend and trust Brian with no reservation and my girls will miss him. Thanks Brian!!!!”

About: I am always happy to help out with my friends or neighborhood animals. I love all the cuddles and licks when I visit. I even help the lost ones that find their way to our door. I am self-employed and throughout the week go to meetings that can last 90 minutes. I am usually not gone any longer than a total of 6 hours. I am able to set my own schedule, so I can be flexible when housesitting. If I am boarding there is always an adult home to care for a pet. I like to walk, exercise, and play with pets. I go to local dog parks at least 2x/week with my own dogs. I also enjoy the snuggles pets are willing to give. I base my care off of what an owner likes and does, as well as what the pet is open to.

“Ellen was great with our cats. She was super responsive, accommodating, and our cats immediately seemed to like her! Loved the pictures of our cats during our time away, and will definitely book with Ellen again next time we are out”

“Abigail was great with my cat Pinecone! She took the time to find him and play with him during every visit. I get nervous about leaving him for longer trips, but I felt so confident in Abigail’s ability to provide amazing care for him!”

“Rob was very conscientious and thorough. He communicated frequently and clearly. I came home to happy dogs and a tidy house! I recommend Rob for your dog!”

“Lilah was respectful of my home & took great care of Greta. Would hire again! Thanks Lilah!”

“I had a great experience with Lindsey. She setup a time to meet with me and my cat to talk through his needs and be introduced. She kept me informed while I was away with pictures and updates about my cat, which made me feel much better about leaving my pet alone.”

About: As a community oriented dog-lover, I strive to provide excellent service to both you and your furry friends! I have taken care of dogs or all kinds since I was young from Duck Tolling Retrievers, Cavaliers, Terriers, and plenty of our rescue mixes. I am an avid walker and love taking dogs out on their own personalized strolls. I have raised several puppies into confident dogs, been patient with the shy and the elderly, and am ready to play with rough housers. I am in a unique situation of flexible working hours to be available for your pets and you. Need sitting for a small mammal or reptile? Reach out! I have experience in all sorts of small friends! I am a full time real estate agent which means my hours are flexible. Most of my work is done right from home and my days are neatly scheduled to make sure when I need to be out of the house, I will be able to return within a few hours. My schedule will only be open so long as I have the time to care for your pet in my home without too many hours away. If you are boarding your dog, rest assured, they will be comfortable and safe with me. I live in a secure condominium that has been pet-proofed since day one with a live-in Cavalier who is gentle as a lamb. Dogs will never be taken out without a leash and will never interact with anything outside of the home without my supervision. With my schedule, they will be taken out many times throughout the day and can be kept on any feeding schedule you require.

“Jackson was great! He showed up on time each day for a week, which was truly appreciated as I booked last minute. He updated me with a few pics and additional detail beyond the basic report card. For example, he checked in via message on day 1 to confirm my dog's mood and poop quality were as expected. My little buddy has some separation anxiety that sometimes causes runny stools and submissive posture. By day 2 my dog was already adjusted and he looked comfortable in the rest of the photos that Jackson sent throughout the week. Recommend 💯!”

“Brianna is awesome! She took excellent care of our old and somewhat particular dog! Brianna was a regular walker for us when we had long work days and when we got home at night our dog was happy, sleepy, and relaxed. Brianna sent fantastic updates including photos. She also made sure his water dish was full and gave him a snack before she left. Book Brianna - she's great!”

About: Hi, I’m Deanna! I’m a lifelong animal lover and 25+ year dog/cat mom. I have two friendly small dogs and two dog-friendly cats. I’ve fostered dogs and been dog sitting for friends & family for many years - I’ve even taken care of snakes and lizards! I have personal experience with senior dogs who might need an extra loving hand. I have a safe and secure fenced back yard to play and relax in. Contact me to set up a meet & greet or with questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your special pup! Please note: pick up is required by 6:00pm. I give my resident dogs two to three long walks every day, with frequent potty/yard breaks. I have pet beds in my home office while I work. I have a fenced in yard, several doggy beds, and animals are allowed on my furniture. My resident dogs are small and like to play (gently) and have lots of toys to share, or just enjoy cuddling with other frequent nappers. I have two crates on-site or you can bring your own!

“Jennifer does a wonder job with our dog, always on time and reliable, makes it easy when out of town to trust your pet is being taken care of.”

“Dana really helped me out during a difficult time. She was very kind, responsive, and made sure I did not have any worries while I was away. To me that is priceless. I will certainly be requesting her again if I ever need someone to watch my old crabby cat. Her communication skills are great. I never had a doubt that cupcake was being attended to which enabled me to concentrate on my fathers funeral. Thank you Dana!!”

“Annie was fantastic - responsive and ensured Maeve was doing well while I was away. She even got her to come out of hiding daily - not something everyone has been able to do!”
