House Sitting in Hillsdale

About: I have had dogs my entire life. My dogs have been and always will be members of the family. We currently do not have a dog as our 14 year old lab passed away from a stroke last year. We do allow dogs on furniture and we do take excursions to the park in good weather. This can be your dogs home away from home. I am retired and am home unless I am traveling. We have a fenced in property with woods and a creek that your dog can enjoy on walks unless you prefer they just stay in the main yard. When your dog is here so am I to ensure your dog is well cared for. I have a single family home with a fenced yard. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed. I enjoy excursions to the park with my dog for walks and relaxing. Children are grown and gone so it's just a couple who enjoy dogs. We have a senior Labrador who is very friendly, has all vaccinations and has free roam of the house. I am also available to sit for your dog in your home if you prefer. I follow any instructions for your dog you want me to, including administering medications.

About: I’ve been house sitting and pet sitting since I was 10. I was my whole neighborhoods go to and now volunteer with the local animal shelter on a regular basis. I also have a dog of my own, Scout. He is a 10 year old German shepherd- collie mix. I have had a great deal of experience with my own pets and others. I will make sure they always feel happy and are safe under my watch. I am currently living in an apartment with no children or pets present. My job has flexible hours with different shift opportunities. It allows flexibility and the ability to keep your key healthy, entertained, and happy all the time! I have worked with some escape artists dogs in my time at the shelter. I am able to take precautions and pick up in cues to stop accidents before they happen.

“Hunter was great. She showed up both times on time. She responded very quickly when I messaged her. She gave updates without being asked. She did a great job with my ding dong. I would definitely recommend, and will be using her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14. Family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and take care of their pets for short or long trips. I prefer to spend time with the animals I am taking care of, as I think the more time you spend with and love you give to them the more comfortable they are. I value time with animals greatly; they have been a huge part of my life, and always will be. I find much fulfillment and joy in spending quality time with the animals I can take care of. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday 8-4:30. I would be available evenings after 5, and anytime on the weekends. I am available to stay the night if needed. I would prefer to have your pets out in free range with me while I am there. I would like to spend as much time walking or being outside, or at least playing inside, or maybe all he/she will need is a good belly rub and some comfortable relaxing with someone.

About: Hi! My name is Emily :) I am originally from Michigan but have lived in North Carolina and Colorado and am now a traveling pediatric nurse. I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I have taken care of cats and dogs of all sizes, and I am more than willing to take care of other animals as well if needed! I am comfortable with feeding, walking, giving any type of medicine, and just lovin up on any type of pet! I am also comfortable taking care of pets with more specific needs. I would love to share my compassion for animals with your pets :) I am currently in between travel contracts so I have plenty of time to spend walking, playing, and cuddling with your pet for drop ins or walks! I follow any guidelines that you set to best protect your pet. I respect your pets’ specific behaviors in order to provide a safe and fun time!

“Julie is a blessing for Poncho and I, while we stay in town for 4 months, for work. She is very easy to talk to and communicative. She is very good with poncho, a 100lb pitbull. Thank you Julie!!!”

“Megan agreed to watch our pup over the holiday even with a short notice. She did a meet and greet first which was helpful. She showed up on time, took Yeti on walks even in cold and snowy weather, and sent us pics and videos throughout the few nights she stayed with Yeti. We would definitely use her again!”

About: I've taken care of 3 golden retrievers, for decades. I have a dog ramp, dog treats, leashes, toys, and like our furry friends to have a very comfortable and fun time. I've taught dogs to hold food on their nose, roll over, play hide and seek. It's been fun. My schedule is quite flexible. Willing to consider anything. I am a musician and as such have open day hours most of the time. Walking dogs, checking on them, letting them out, taking them to the vet, playing with them, it's all good. I have a basement which is uncarpetted and warm, a very big yard with very minimal traffic , a local park, and 2-4 housemates who all like and own dogs.

“Elissa is AMAZING! 10/10 would recommend! My baby girl Mia had a blast! She meet so many new animals over the weekend! I’m so glad my dog found a family that loves her like we do!! Elissa was amazing with communication and reassurance! Elissa even watched Mia an extra night due to last minute plans! She goes above and beyond!”

My availability would consist of it being 4pm to 10pm throughout the day; I can check on your fur baby or babies during those times. In my day to day life, I can cut my dog and cat’s nails. I can crate your cat or dog if it is necessary.

“Erika did a wonderful job in caring for Rylee and the house. She sent updates each time she visited including photos. Will definitely book with her again!”

About: I was born into a family of pet lovers. We have had a wide array of pets in our home-cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and more. I have become my church and friends' go-to pet sitter for years. I not only provide the love and care that pets need, I am also a licensed pet massage therapist, so your pet will get extra love! I am self-employed, so my schedule varies and is very open for providing top notch pet care. My day is better when I am able to provide love and care for animals! I provide pet care in your home and am able to work with your pet(s) specific needs and schedules. I want them to feel as unaffected by your absence as possible!

“Natasha was an attentive, trustworthy home-sitter for our Lab, Winston! This was the first time we'd ever used a service like Rover let alone having someone stay in our home. She was timely in her responses during our days leading up to our trip, setting our meet-and-greet and during her stay here. She and her son kept great care of Winston and he seemed to enjoy his time with them! She respected our home and it was just as we left it when we arrived home from our trip. We would highly recommend Natasha.”

“Michelle made my family feel at ease about leaving our dog at home during our trip. She took excellent care of Rue and of our home while we were gone for a couple of days. We got daily pictures of Rue and we knew she was being loved on the whole time. I highly recommend Michelle!”
