Dog Sitting Hillsdale

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since the day I was born, and caring for them truly feels like my purpose. I have over 20 years of hands-on experience, including dog kennel work, walking, daycare, and overnight sitting. I treat every dog as if they were my own—providing loving, attentive, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’m currently available full time to care for your pets! Just need a heads up of your desired schedule for your pups needs to plan ahead. Full fenced 1/2 acre yard with my own giant breed dog who is friendly and loves to play. XL crate available for use if needed. My home is their home while they’re staying with me!

“Alexa was so communicative and great with my cat! He takes oral medication and she handled it so well. Thank you, Alexa!! I felt very comfortable leaving my cat home alone for a week knowing you were checking on him.”

About: I’ve always had 1-4 dogs living with me since I was a little kid. I started pet sitting on and off since my 20s. I have experience with small, medium and large dogs. I’m an elementary teacher, with a very flexible summer schedule. During the school year, I’m available during my lunch break for poddy breaks and a short walk or playtime (if close to Dumont) and after 3:45 for longer walks and feeding. I am also available on weekends! When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow each family's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medications (if needed). I make sure pets always have fresh water, and plenty of affection. I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Priscilla was incredible with my senior pug, who has multiple health issues. She was kind, attentive, and her photo updates brought so much peace of mind while I was away. Thank you, Priscilla, for your wonderful care.”

About: I have had a dog since I was 12, and have lots of experience with dogs. I would be very attentive and take care of any dog, how I would want mine to be taken care of. I have some experience with puppies, but most experience with older dogs. I can also provide any updates if needed to keep the owner reassured! My goal is to create a fun and calm environment for any pet! I am currently home for the summer and have lots of free time during the week! I enjoy spending time with animals and being active. There will be consistent attention no matter what the needs are. I’m very reliable and want to maintain any usual routines to make any transition as easy as possible. I take care for pets in a clients home by making sure the pet is comfortable and well taken care of at all times. I can guarantee a familiar environment and create a safe and clean space. My goal is to have pets well cared for and give the owners the reassurance that their pet is on good hands!

“Helena did a wonderful job watching my senior dog for a week. She was incredibly attentive to her specific routine and slower pace. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It is clear Helena truly cares about animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable pet sitter.”

About: The highlight of my dog's day is going on his walks, I want to make sure every pup gets to have theirs! Over 5 years of experience walking my own and my friends' dogs of different breeds and sizes. Experience with shy, timid rescues as well, my own dog is a pit/lab mix rescue from Texas and I was able to build up his confidence through regular routine walking! I have plenty of free time during the week to give your pup a quality walk, currently in between jobs so I am available most days. My dog, Bowie gets at least two 20-30 min walks a day with the occasional hike and dog park visit, I love to make sure he is active and having fun with water on hand for hot days or extra long walks to make sure he is hydrated throughout.

I have experience caring for family and friends’ dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’ve also raised three cats since they were kittens (my oldest is 7 years old). Living with cats has taught me to pay attention to body language, routines, and the little details that help pets feel safe and relaxed.

About: Hi there! My husband and I are both new to Rover due to the most recent job change. We are proud dog parents to two well-trained pups, aged 4 and 5. We’ve raised them since they were just 2 months old, and they’ve grown into playful, gentle companions. Our love for dogs runs deep, and we’d be thrilled to welcome your furry friend into our home. As a courtesy, we offer a gentle shower at the end of each boarding to keep your pup fresh and happy. I am currently working from home and I have time to play with them all day in the backyard. Training can be provided upon request I have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to have your fur baby company. We also share your baby’s daily activities via videos and photos.

About: I previously had a cockapoo for 15 and a half years! My parents and I would love to have a dog in the house again and I am happy to help watch pets while I am home from grad school! I am a Vanderbilt graduate student, and have Thursdays through Sundays completely off which gives me more than enough time to care for your dog! I am available during the day on Mondays and Tuesdays, and early Wednesdays. I make sure I know where food, water, treats, leashes, toys, etc. are placed, and always keep a close eye on them if they are in the yard. I make sure they are fed on time and feel comfortable.

About: Seven years fostering dogs for three rescue organizations and one year as a Senior Yard Manager at a dog daycare, supervising care, behavior, and safety. have seven years of experience fostering dogs for three different rescue organizations and one year of experience as a Senior Yard Manager at a dog daycare, supervising dog groups, ensuring safety, and supporting daily operations. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise through long neighborhood walks, active playtime, and lots of attention. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, including the bed and couch, and they can sleep in my bed or in a crate based on your preferences. I also enjoy making stuffed Kongs as an evening treat or enrichment activity if you'd like your dog to have one.

“We went on a 10 day trip to Europe. One of our dogs is a pit/rottie mix so we were especially worried about a sitter entering the house while we were away. Helene was amazing. She got along with the dogs wonderfully. We received photos of our babies playing every day. It was such a relief. We weren't worried at all with our dogs in Helene's care. Helene helped make our vacation worry-free.”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—rambunctious puppies, playful adults, and sweet seniors. I previously owned my own dog and now work closely with domestic and wild animals at an animal shelter, where I’ve developed the ability to build trust with new pets quickly. My home is currently pet-free, so I’d be thrilled to host your dog and give them my full attention and affection. Whether your pup needs structured care, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I bring patience, intuition, and genuine love to every visit. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I was recently laid off and now work limited hours outside of the house, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle—I truly enjoy the companionship and having a pet around keeps my routine joyful and active. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. My home includes central air conditioning and heat to keep pets comfortable and safe during peak seasons, and there’s an elevator available for animals with mobility issues. I take time to build trust with each pet, follow their routines closely, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and care I’d give my own.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which included pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! I am home during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.

“Casey has continued to be a great source of help when we go away. She accepted the request that I sent with little notice which I greatly appreciate. She takes the extra effort to make sure we come home to a clean home too which I appreciate as well!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I got my dog. I joined Rover 3 years ago and have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for various types of dogs. I care for every dog as if they're my own! I just got home from college and am looking to make some money as I take a remote class this summer. That being said, my schedule is pretty open and flexible! I am very respectful of other's spaces and make sure to follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to detail and am a high energy individual. I truly love dogs so much and am happy to help take care of them when owners' lives get busy.

“Thanks for being sure our girl, Nessie, got out this week. We appreciate having a reliable person to care for her. I hope your dog is doing better and home from the vet. She will see you next week!”

“Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!”
