Pet Sitting in Hillside

“Kethely has done an excellent job sitting for my uncle's kitties. She is very thoughtful and communicative and clearly has much understanding and deep love for animals. She is also smart and innovative. We really appreciated her effort and would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 2 years and truly love caring for animals. Along with my experience providing overnight care, I currently work as a veterinary assistant, where I care for both dogs and cats in a professional setting. Working in vet medicine has helped me become comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including senior pets and anxious animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time, so I fit pet care around my work schedule. I’m available on weekends and some Thursdays, which I’ve listed in my availability. I make sure to plan ahead so I can be consistent and give pets proper care and attention when I’m with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get walks and bathroom breaks, and receive plenty of attention and playtime. I also keep their environment clean and safe and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was very young, growing up with them since I was about 2 years old, and I started actively caring for them on my own at 12. I have experience with many different breeds, from German Shepherds to Yorkshire Terriers, which has helped me understand different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I currently have a well-trained Border Collie and a very sweet cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, reliable, and truly love spending time with animals, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My schedule is very flexible! I take dogs to parks, interesting walks, and even the beach if authorized. I have my own transportation with no additional costs. I wake up at 7am for the first walk: 1.5 hours. After that, breakfast time. Second walk around 1 hour after they finish eating. I work while they explore the house freely. Lunch followed by a long walk (2-2.5 hours) to parks or different locations. Dinner and two evening walks (7-8pm and 10pm). Your dog is welcome to sleep in my bed or use their own bed, whatever they prefer—I adapt to their comfort and routine.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and breeds. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and administering oral medications when needed. I make sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away, keeping routines consistent and sending regular updates and photos Your dog will be my top priority throughout my time with them. I am currently doing Rover full time and taking care of your puppy will be my sole and only responsibility when boarded. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency with their regular routines. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and affection. I make sure pets have fresh water, nutritious meals according to their dietary needs, and regular exercise suited to their age and energy level. I also have a huge backyard providing dogs with space to run freely and get some exercise in if needed. (other than routine walks) When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal schedule and minimize stress. I keep their environment clean, provide companionship, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. Communication is key, so I always keep pet owners updated with messages, photos, or videos to give them peace of mind.

“Rachel was the best sitter my pups ever had. Rachel is super patient and always has a great attitude. She cared for my frenchies and showed them much love. Im glad I have a sitter that I can count on for now on. Thank you Rachel !”

About: I currently walk dogs for residents in my apartment (vermella/sol Union) building and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies, small dogs, and reactive or nervous dogs that may need extra patience and attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and cared for like family! I’m currently a college student with mostly online classes, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets attention, walks, and consistent care throughout the week. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in both my home and my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I also make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a clean environment, and given patience and attention based on their personality and needs.

“Amanda was amazing with my two pups! She was super attentive and made sure they were taken care of. Gave me the ease of mind knowing they were loved while I was at work! Will definitely have her again! 😊”

“Bianca was great! Upon our initial meeting, she was very friendly and made sure that she understood my cat's needs. When the time came for her to care for my cat, she was timely and communicative with her updates and gave my cat the proper care and attention she needed. I would certainly book with Bianca again! Thank you!”

“Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old pitty. She was so thorough at our meet and greet over Quintley’s routine and needs. Shannon was there twice during the day at exactly the time we asked for. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. Her communication is fabulous. There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!”

About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.

About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

“Shirley was great. She communicated and sent comforting pictures from her visit with our cat. We are very grateful for her service and will use her again in the future.”

About: I currently work at a grooming salon, which has given me hands on experience with dogs of all sizes and every breed also certified in Pet CPR and first aid. I’ve also cared for my own dogs since I was like 9, so being responsible for pets and loving them has always been a part of my life.

I spend my full attention on the pet, mostly if playing in the backyard. When walking the pet I also have my full attention on them in every since, like if it was my own dog!
