House Sitting Hillcrest

“I could not have asked for a better human to stay with my Maisy puppy right after she got spayed. She needed extra care, to be calm and looked after as she was stuck in her e cone. Aaron is clearly an expert in pets and animal care. Definitely in tune with what my puppy needed such as when to be taken out for potty breaks and any special needs or treats that could be provided to entertain her. Or if she just needed to rest. They were punctual. Very prompt in getting back to my questions. They sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. Maisy loved them. We got lucky to be able to have Aaron's care for the day. Busy for a reason. Because they are one of the best care takers. I would be thrilled to be able to utilize Aaron's services in the future and trust them implicitly in my home and in the care of my puppy. My cat who usually hides and sleeps all day got up to be with them. That says something. Thank you!!”

“Ali house sat for me and took wonderful care of Bear. She sent regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how he was doing, and she followed all my instructions for his routine. I could tell Ali genuinely loves dogs. Communication was easy and reliable the whole time. I'd book her again and highly recommend her!”

“Ally is everything you could ask for in a sitter. Her communication was excellent and the picture updates of our pups were awesome. We were actually able to relax knowing our dogs where in such good hands.”

“Jenn was absolutely fantastic! Jeff and I felt completely at ease away from our pets knowing Jenn was looking after them. Jenn communicated well and spent a lot of time interacting with our cat and dog. We are thrilled with the level of care Jenn provided and will absolutely use her again.”

“Daniel took AMAZING care of my pets and my home!! I have chickens, an indoor cat, & a 12 month old Great Pyrenees, who is pretty difficult. He is either high strung or napping… there’s no middle ground. Daniel’s calm demeanor was just what was needed to create a successful stay with my dog! He took him walking with other dogs which was great & Daniel seemed to have managed quite well. The hens and kitty appeared to have also been taken care of perfectly! I hope to have Daniel come back and stay for my next getaway! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”

Lucca has a medical needs that Holly double and triple checked were properly fulfilled to make sure she was thriving in her care.

About: I have mostly taken care of dogs, cats and chickens. When I had my own dogs, I didn’t realize that house and pet sitting was even an option. I would drive them about an hour to a wonderful woman who had converted her former horse property into a place where dogs could run and get plenty of exercise in the horse rink. It was a much better alternative than a traditional kennel but was disruptive to their normal routine and caused anxiety. One trip especially stands out. A snowstorm came through while I was away, and because the property was located at the top of a hill, we couldn’t get to the dogs for three additional days. They were safe and well cared for, but the experience made me realize how much I would have preferred for them to be comfortable in their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. I’m a retired professional now self-employed who is looking for opportunities to combine house and pet sitting with exploring Ada County, Idaho and Clackamas County Oregon. I’m currently pet-free, but I’ve had three dogs, three cats and many chickens over the years, so I understand the companionship pets provide and the importance of keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I’m comfortable with both dogs, cats and chickens and would treat your pets calmly and with kindness. As a homeowner myself, I understand that your home is your biggest investment and your personal space. I’m observant and pay attention. If I hear water running unexpectedly, notice something unusual, or see something that doesn’t seem right, I’m the type of person who investigates rather than ignoring it. I’m conscientious about keeping a home secure, clean, and well cared for. I enjoy a peaceful home environment and would be happy spending time with your pets, taking dogs for walks, watering plants, collecting mail, bringing in packages, and generally keeping an eye on things while you’re away.

“Sydney is an amazing person and a great cat sitter. She's genuine, honest, responsive, and super thorough. Not only did she look after Moose, but she played with him, gave him attention, and really cared for him. He wasn't feeling great one night, so she stayed up with him until he fell asleep. When I got home, she had cleaned the litter area, changed the sheets, and washed the bedding. Five stars for Sydney!”

“Michael and Zoe are knowledgable dog caretakers who treated our kookie Dalmatian like a member of the family. She had fun with their dogs. I would highly recommend them to dog parents who need to leave their fur babies in good hands.”
