Dog Sitting Hillside

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet loves playtime, enjoys relaxing and cuddling, or needs a little extra time to feel comfortable around someone new, I will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me — they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I currently work part-time on weekends, which allows me to have a flexible schedule throughout the rest of the week. I’m available most weekdays and do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and their owner’s needs. I understand how important is for cats and dogs, so I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I can commit to the care your cat and pups needs before accepting a booking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide gentle, attentive care by following your instructions, maintaining feeding and exercise routines, keeping their environment clean, and making sure they have fresh food and water. Whether your dog enjoys walks and playtime or your cat prefers cuddles and a quiet space, I’ll respect their individual personality and comfort level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your beloved companion is in caring hands while you’re away.

About: Hi! 🐾 I'm a graduate student with a genuine love for dogs, and being a dog sitter is something I truly enjoy! Whether you need dog walking, dog sitting, or boarding, my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I believe every dog deserves personalized care, attention, and plenty of love. I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their unique personalities, routines, and favorite things. I'm always thinking about the dogs in my care and finding little ways to make their time with me extra special! 🐶 **What makes my care special?** - **Daily updates:** You'll receive updates, photos, and videos so you can feel connected to your pup while you're away. - **Personalized report cards:** I love sharing how your dog's day went, including their activities, fun moments, and how they're doing. - **TikTok-style videos:** I enjoy making fun, memorable videos of the dogs I care for so you have something special to look back on! - **Holiday surprises:** For my returning clients, I love giving holiday gift bags and special treats for their pups as a little thank-you for trusting me. - **Birthday celebrations:** If I know your dog's birthday, you can bet I'll be thinking of ways to make their day extra special! 🎂🐾 I understand that your dog is family, and trusting someone to care for them is a big deal. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pup is receiving loving, respectful, and attentive care. My goal is for your dog to look forward to spending time with me just as much as I look forward to spending time with them! I'd love to meet you and your furry best friend! ❤️🐶 I currently am free most of the week. I love to take care of animals, so please feel free to contact me regarding any questions. When taking care of your pet I will make sure to ask questions regarding any secret hide outs your pet might like to hide in or what their favorite toy is to keep them company.

About: I am at home full time so I am available to always keep a close watch of your dog, take your dog outside a numerous of times. I have been sitting dogs for about 4 years now. I have experience breeding and raising chows (which is a very hard breed to raise especially for first time dog owners). There is a dog park right across the street from my home your dog would love. And around the perimeter of the dog park is a dog path. I normally walk the dogs around the dog path and then play fetch and some other games in the park. I have a gated backyard so they are allow to play back there as well. I am close to a Walgreens and across the street from a pet store so if they need anything I have easy access to that.

About: I feel strongly about the human animal-bond and I believe your pets deserve the best care possible! My experience goes back to childhood since I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I've watched neighbors' and friends' pets while they were out of town and even watched a friend's horses while she was on vacation. I walked dogs at Anderson Animal Shelter (now Anderson Humane) as a kid. I worked for a pet sitting company for a little over a year in 2020. That year I also began school to become a certified veterinary technician. After two years taking classes full time and completing two externships I became a CVT. My schooling did include kennels- aka walking, cleaning up after and caring for the rescued dogs and cats we learned on (they were adopted out at the end of each semester). I also have helped with pets who were boarding at veterinary offices. I can do medical treatments on your fur baby if necessary. I am open to watching exotic pets. I have a huge admiration for spicy cats. I am your person for house sitting and drop in visits. I will be using Rover for part time work but I do have flexible availability! I have stepped away from full time work all together for the foreseeable future. I am a morning person and I would love to spend some time outside with your pup whatever the weather may be. I enjoy walking outside even in zero degree weather! I am happy to accommodate any routine you need for your fur babies. Greeting your pet is important, especially if I am new to them. I will give them food and water and clean dishes as advised by you. I will take them for a walk or outside to play and go potty depending on what they are up for. If you need pills or treatments or any kind to be administered I can absolutely do that. I will treat your pet, your home and belongings with the utmost respect and responsibility.

“Great communication, friendly and professional! Has experience with pitties, which is was a determining factor in our booking. Karen was very understanding and supportive of Diesel's needs.”

Caring for your pet is not only my job but also my favorite thing to do! A wise person once said, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” I work as a legal assistant full-time but can schedule services around your calendar during the holidays or special occasions. I am also usually free on weekends. I speak fluent spanish and love to take the time to explain my daily routine to our pet owners! Let us relieve you of that stress when it comes to your dog's wellbeing, while you can relax or get done what you need to get done. I'm big on taking pictures... so I'll send you cute pics of your pets!

About: Animals are the universal gift of natural therapy and happiness, just like sun they give us a burst of pure spontaneous life. About me I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. Adaptable to pets needs daily routine how they typically operate within their own home . I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.

About: Hi! My name is Chris, and I’ve spent over 10 years professionally working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My background includes dog daycare, boarding, overnight care, kennel management, administering medications, caring for senior dogs, supervising large playgroups, and professional dog training. While I currently work as a Keyholder in retail management, my passion has always been caring for animals, and I love being able to spend my free time doing what I enjoy most. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand canine body language and recognize when a dog is stressed, excited, nervous, or simply wants space. Every dog is different, and I take the time to build trust and provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. Although I’m not actively teaching training classes anymore, I still use the skills I’ve learned over the years to reinforce good manners, encourage positive behaviors, and create a calm, structured environment for the dogs in my care. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior who needs extra patience, or just wants someone to play, cuddle, and keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and receiving the same care I’d give my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care has always been a part of my life, even after transitioning into retail management. I work full-time as a Keyholder, but I schedule my Rover services around my work so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great way for me to stay connected to a field I’ve been passionate about for over 10 years. Outside of work, I spend time with my own pets and make sure they receive the same love and attention I give every animal in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, overnight stay, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored to their individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. I know routines help pets feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I always treat my clients’ homes with the same respect I would expect someone to treat mine. I’ll clean up after your pet, keep food and water areas tidy, wipe muddy paws when needed, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they’re treated like family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime based on their personality and energy level. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. With over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and those who require medication or extra patience.

About: As someone who has always grown up around dogs, I understand that your pup is a part of the family and I take pride in taking care of your furry loved ones while you’re away! I currently have a German shepherd/Boxer mix (lives with my family) and a Rottweiler (lives with me). I have previously volunteered at a humane society and have also been employed at a dog boarding facility. I enjoy watching Dog Impossible in my free time and would love to spend time with your 4-legged family member in my free time too! I’m also an animal and nature photographer, so I’d be happy to take high quality photos while you’re away! I’m currently working full time from home (Monday-Friday) so I’d be more than happy to welcome your pup into my home and have a new coworker, taking them out as needed, or pack up my gear and work with them in the comfort of their own home! Please check out my calendar for my most updated availability ☺️ I have a friendly dog to keep your pup company and I have a fenced in yard for all of your pups squirrel chasing and potty needs! I will always be cautious and careful to any and all of your pets needs while on leash too!
