House Sitting in Hillgrove

About: Hi there! I am currently a student studying vet medicine. I’ve been working with all types of animals for 6 years now. I do work part time as a vet tech and would love to pet sit, take your furry friend for walks and give them loads of love! I have plenty experience caring for dogs and cats, I am very passionate about caring for animals and hope to open my own doggy daycare one day! I sometimes foster kittens but do not have any right now. If it says I am unavailable please ask and I can try to accommodate. I look forward to meeting you and any type of pets you have. I am comfortable caring for all types of animals, just let me know! :)

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and grew up on a farm, where I was hands on with daily feeding, cleaning, health checks, and overall care for a wide range of animals. My experience goes beyond household pets and includes livestock and small animals, giving me a strong foundation in animal behavior, safety, and routine based care. Over the years, I’ve worked with and owned dogs, cats, rats, birds, reptiles, and aquatic species. This includes high experience lizards, tortoises and turtles, spiders, and large fish that require specific habitat setups, temperature control, and consistent maintenance. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for feeding schedules, enclosure cleaning, lighting and heating needs, and handling animals with very different temperaments and routines. My farm experience includes assisting with animal births, such as helping deliver piglets, as well as hatching and raising chickens from chicks. These experiences taught me how to stay calm, observant, and attentive to animals’ needs, especially in situations that require patience, cleanliness, and responsibility. I currently have two well-trained, energetic dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency, structure, enrichment, and safety. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and pets with unique personalities or established routines. I welcome pets of all kinds and genuinely enjoy learning each animal’s unique routine, preferences, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work part-time, which allows me to give your pet plenty of time, supervision, and individualized attention. I have a fully fenced yard and access to safe walking paths for exercise and enrichment. While I don’t keep crates on hand, I’m happy to use one if provided and will follow all care instructions exactly as requested. I provide calm, routine-based care and follow all instructions exactly as provided. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, exotics, and small animals, including habitat and specialized care needs. Safety, consistency, and clear communication are always my priority. I also have a fenced yard and access to many Mountain View hiking trails!

“What an incredible in-home experience! Not accustomed to being left alone, Gilly our Basset Hound is gleeful when she comes through the door after her first day sitting. She is sensitive to all his requests and needs. He is one happy dog. She devotes every moment to your pup and comes up with great experiences to keep them content and entertained She respects your boundaries for your pet with love. He has been through a lot of major changes the last few years and can be anxious when something new comes along. With Britney, he is so calm and has all the confidence in the world she will protect him. Britney is very knowledgeable and communicates very well. We highly recommend her and wish she was our human caretaker. We will hire her again and again.”

“In addition to all the wonderful information on Tracy’s profile and the glowing reviews, I was immediately impressed by our initial communication. She was responsive, thoughtful, and asked great questions about my dogs’ needs. When she arrived at our home, I was equally impressed by her friendliness, calm presence, and overall great energy. My dogs have very different personalities and needs, one is small and was born blind, and the other is a 100-pound, 6-month-old Irish Wolfhound puppy. They also need to be kept separated, which adds another layer of management. It can be a lot to navigate. I am very honest (probably to a fault!) about how much work my Irish Wolfhound puppy is, and Tracy wasn’t intimidated in the slightest. I mean, I really tried to scare her off and am so glad it didn't work. LOL. She handled everything confidently and compassionately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. I couldn’t be happier with how the visit went. I would absolutely recommend Tracy and will definitely be using her again, and my boyfriend feels the same. It is nice to be on the same page.”

“Justin provided an excellent service! He connected with my dog Cometa and ensure he was exercised, fed, safe, and well cared! Cometa was relaxed and happy! I found him calm and secured at my arrival! I will continue having Justin taking care of my dog as many times as my dog needs service! Justin is dependable, responsible, nurturing and committed to provide de best service possible. I’m very grateful and happy with his service. Gracias, gracias, gracias….”

About: I’ve always had pets on and off since I was a little girl. While I don’t have any currently, I still enjoy being around them by pet sitting for my friends and taking them on walks. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even have some experience with bunnies! I’ll give your fur babies the love and attention they deserve :D Here’s a joke: Why did the dog sit in the shade? Because it didn’t want to be a hot dog! I currently work from home, so I have a lot of free time to do drop-ins or even do house sits. I’m pretty flexible with my availability since I can work from anywhere! I’ll be able to give your pets all the attention they need! I enjoy playing with the pets and giving them attention so they can trust me. I stick to the feeding/walking schedule that the owners give me as much as possible so that they can stay comfortable while their owners are away.

“Beverly did a fantastic job sitting for our two dogs. She was very communicative and caring. She definitely loves dogs. 5 stars!”
