House Sitting Hillsdale

“Courtney did a great job with our typically anxious dog. She came over to meet us earlier in the day, arrived early for her assigned time and bonded well with our pup. She sent us multiple photos and a video throughout her evening of dog sitting him. Looking forward to booking her again in the future.”

“Great communication and she stayed at the house until we arrived home to give a full verbal report. She asked thoughtful questions and our puppies seemed to be happy when we got back. Would definitely recommend Ritaj!”

“Brooke was absolutely wonderful!!! Leaving our 7-year-old Japanese Akita with someone new was a big decision for us, but Brooke exceeded all of our expectations. She took the time to build trust with Eoshi, and it was clear from her updates that she genuinely cared about his well-being. When we returned home, Eoshi was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He ate well, enjoyed plenty of walks, and seemed completely comfortable with Brooke. We were especially happy to see that they developed such a great bond while we were away. Brooke also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless when we returned, and she even started a load of laundry with the bed linens before leaving, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Brooke with Eoshi again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I'm so excited to start Rover and meet all of the sweet babies! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and had my own dog for 15 years, giving me years of hands-on experience with the everyday care, companionship, and responsibility that comes with having a dog. I also have a year of experience walking dogs for others and genuinely love getting outside and spending time with pups. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has their own routine, quirks, and needs. Whether your pup needs a long walk, some playtime, or simply a little extra attention and companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and patience I would give my own dog. I’m reliable, attentive, and active, and I’d love the opportunity to get to know your dog and become someone you can trust! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to providing attentive, reliable pet care. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine! I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while keeping them safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep owners updated with photos and messages!

“Victoria did a great job watching my pupper. She sent pics and assured me that all was well while I was away. Not much more i can ask for! Thank you!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for family and friends over the years, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and lots of love. I’m dependable, attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routine, and committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to adapt to their unique routine and environment so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll follow their routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure they always feel safe and cared for. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout my visits.

“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.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! From fostering and eventually adopting my beloved Boston Terrier to raising six cats and caring for two large Labradors over the past two years, I’ve gained a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all personalities, sizes, and needs. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, extra cuddles, sticking to a specific routine, or simply providing a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual needs. One of my latest adventures in pet care has been preparing fresh, homemade meals from scratch every week for the two Labradors I care for. It’s given me an even greater appreciation for the importance of nutrition, consistency, and attention to detail when caring for animals. I also have extensive experience with house sitting and caring for pets while their owners travel. I regularly look after a friend’s beloved Bulldog while she’s away at her second home in Austin, Texas. One of my biggest pet-sitting experiences involved caring for six animals under one roof, three dogs and three cats, including a dog who required daily medication. I managed everyone’s individual routines, meals, and needs while their owners were away in Los Angeles, and everything went wonderfully! I’m especially comfortable with multi-pet households, large breeds, cats, and animals who need a little extra patience or attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks, and I take pride in making their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. I also know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave your beloved pets in their care. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to instructions, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing everyone is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, while giving you complete peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently working part time as an Esthetician, my schedule varies based on seasonal business changes, due to being at a resort. I have a lot of time off to dedicate to animals. I do not have set days off besides Fridays, but with enough notice I can make anything work. At home my pets have set meal times and bed times, but during the day are allowed to come and go as they please through the dog door and within the large acre fenced yard. How ever you’d like my time structured with your animal I will abide to. I am very flexible and know each family runs their homes differently, I am happy to help however you see fit.

“As always, Kelsey took great care of our fur babies. She's my go to sitter for a reason and I really only book someone else if Kelsey isn't available. Book her with extreme confidence, she's wonderful.”

“Erica was great! She took the time to meet with my dog twice before watching him. Even with that my dog had some fear about her being at the house without me. Erika worked through it with my pup and they ended up good friends for my entire trip. Lots of pictures and updates, plenty of walks and the house was perfect when I got home. Will definetly continue to hire and recomend Erika!”

“Tally is so sweet and kind! She kept great communication the whole weekend and really loved and cared for my three dogs. The house looked awesome when I came home too! Will definitely use her again.”

About: With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve worked with breeds of all sizes and personalities—from Rottweilers, Mastiffs and Pit Bulls to French Bulldogs, Australian Shepherds, English Bulldogs and many others. I have a special passion for working with dogs that others may be hesitant to care for, including large breeds, strong personalities and reactive or misunderstood dogs. As someone who understands the challenges of owning these incredible pets, I provide patient, confident and compassionate care without judgment. To me, pets are family and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m experienced in caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, following detailed care instructions and maintaining consistent feeding and medication schedules. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, aging or simply needs extra attention I’m committed to providing a safe, loving and reliable experience while you’re away. I’m available for 30–60 minute midday drop-in visits on weekdays, as well as after 4:30 PM on weekdays. I’m available all day on weekends. My weekday schedule is somewhat flexible and I’m happy to work with clients to accommodate their pets’ needs whenever possible. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pet is a big decision. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime and companionship while ensuring your home remains clean, secure and exactly as you left it. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: Hi, I'm Eda! I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My grandpa had a beautiful farm in Temecula, where I grew up helping care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, ducks, and even one very mean buck. From an early age, I also looked after my neighbors' pets, and I loved every minute of it. My family is from Turkey, where there's a deep appreciation for animals, especially dogs and cats. In my culture, animals are considered part of the family, and that's exactly how I've always treated them. That mindset has stayed with me throughout my life. I'm the friend who always finds the pet at the party, stops to admire every dog on a walk (with permission, of course), and can't resist saying hello to my neighborhood cat. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I'll care for them with patience, attention, and lots of affection. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in kind, reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and work part-time from home. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care, whether they need regular walks, playtime, feeding, enrichment, or simply some extra companionship throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I work from home part-time, giving me flexibility to provide attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and crate preferences. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

“Fantastic! I had a last minute babysitting emergency because my dog sitter fell back home fell through. I had to bring my two senior special needs pugs on my weekend away to visit my son. We had important dinner and I absolutely couldn’t leave my pugs alone in a new place. I reached out the morning of and gave her my story. She said that normally she doesn’t book last minute but would make an exception in our case. She saved the day and the dinner! She was a calming influence and my dogs loved her! If I lived in San Diego, I’d be a regular!”

Kristin J.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ethan was absolutely fantastic! He was exceptionally professional, reliable, and always punctual, with excellent, proactive communication throughout our time away. He took wonderful care of both our dogs, and we were especially impressed by how patient and kind he was with our older dog, who can be a bit of a grumpy old man! Ethan really took the time to earn his trust and win him over, which meant a lot to us. He was also an excellent house sitter and took great care of our home while we were gone. We couldn't have been happier with the experience and will absolutely be booking with him again! We highly recommend Ethan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring sitter who is outstanding with dogs!”

“Ana was amazing she took banana on lots of walkies and was very good giving her all the love while we were gone on our trip I would definitely book again and recommend you do so if your going out of town.”

I always walk dogs on a leash, on the sidewalk, in well lit, pet-friendly/safe areas. I have multiple dog parks nearby that I would be open to taking your dog to (upon request only).
