House Sitting in Hillsdale

“Brandy came in and immediately made the dogs feel very comfortable. She was very good at keeping us informed while we were away, and also left everything very clean.”

Mary P.

“We were so grateful to have Maria stay with our special needs senior dog for over a week. He is on multiple medications and it is a lot to manage but she handles everything so well that I can travel without worrying about my baby. She will truly love your dog like they are her own. We had to arrive home a day earlier than expected and Maria adjusted her plans with last minute notice. She texts and sends pictures every day. The house is always cleaner than when we left. She’s an awesome sitter!”

“Courtney took amazing care of my fur babies, managed the house during the chaos of construction in my back yard and provided regular updates to put my mind at ease. Recommend a ns would use again!”

Linda E.

“Great experience. Amanda is so nice and personable. My pugs took to her right away and were well taken care of. She was very communicative and sent pictures of our hooligans while we were away. Will definitely book again in the future.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine passion for caring for dogs. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15 years old, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to senior companions. I’ve personally house trained all of my own dogs growing up, so I’m very comfortable with helping reinforce good habits and routines. In addition to puppy training, I’m also attentive to the special needs of senior dogs, including slower-paced walks, medication schedules, and making sure they’re comfortable and well-cared for. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine! I have a hybrid work schedule, which means I'm home most of the week and only go into the office two days. This allows me to be present and attentive, giving pets the love, care, and attention they need throughout the day—whether it’s for walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love incorporating pet care into my everyday life. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I tailor my care based on the pet’s routine and needs, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, giving medication, going on regular walks, or simply spending quality time playing or cuddling. When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. For in-home visits or house sitting, I’m respectful of my client’s space and aim to keep things as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible to help reduce stress while their owner is away. No matter the setting, I focus on clear communication, reliable care, and lots of love to give pet parents peace of mind.

“Donatella made me feel super comfortable and kept me updated and had open communication throughout her stay with our pup. Will definitely be working with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Raquel was amazing! She was able to watch my pup last minute all day which was a life saver! She was so good with our Ellie and treated like her own. I will definitely be using her again whenever we need it!”

Nicole P.

“Jackie was Amazing! She stayed at my house while watching 4 of my dogs. Everything was exactly how I left it. I gave her Full run of the house and yards. I highly appreciate all that she did. I will definitely use Jackie again in any of my future plans. Thank You again!! David”

“AJ made our lives so much easier. We had never left our pups with a sitter and we’ve got 5 so it was no easy feat. Despite all of our worries everything was fine. She even took our pup to the vet because he got sick the day before we left. I will definitely be using AJ as a sitter again in the future. She watched the pups and house and I was able to just come home and fall asleep after a cross country plane trip with 4 kids. She was great with out pups and they loved her.”

“Natalie is so awesome. My fur babies loved her. I could tell by the photos and updates she sent me. She is kind, caring and trust worthy and I will be utilizing her services again for sure.”
