House Sitting Hillside Lake

“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter Margaret! She took excellent care of my dog, Otto, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was traveling. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and great communication—it gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, kind and caring pet sitter!”

“Lauren took great care of our dog and cat! We have an indoor/ outdoor cat, and a dog with epilepsy, and Lauren handled both with ease and took great care of our home as well. She was communicative and sent photos. Gave us good peace of mind. Will definitely be using her services again!”

“Thomas was terrible! JUST KIDDING! I just want to keep him only for when I need him!😁 I couldn’t ask for anything more. He initially responded quickly. Showed up when we planned. He kept in touch with me. Sent pictures of my dogs when he was with them and left my house tidy. TJ, thank you again!”

Lisa M.

“Kasey is awesome! She took care of two of our dogs for a few days and stayed the night with them. When we got home, they didn’t even seem to miss us! We’re guessing it was because they had such a good time with her. Kasey also stayed in constant contact with us and made sure to let us know what they were up to. Can’t wait to ask for her help again in the future.”

“Absolutely wonderful! Very friendly and communicative. Our girls were super relaxed and happy when we got home to a very clean house. 10/10 would book again. Thank you for all of the pics and updates on our girls over the course of your stay.”

Rachael H.

“Phoebe was amazing! She did house sitting with Zora and even though Zora was afraid of her at first, she got her to warm up fast. She texts us almost every day with pictures and took Zora on local walks on trails. Happy to have her sit again!!”

“Stefanie is wonderful. She's a smart, reliable, respectful, and easygoing person. She is trustworthy, gentle and loving with our slightly skittish cats, and made real friends with them. Stefanie was so accommodating, sent us lots of updates and photos and truly set our minds at ease. We will ask her to kitty sit again without hesitation! If you want to relax on your getaway, hire her!!! She's a true gem!!”

Susan N.

“Kimmie was outstanding! Would highly recommend. She took wonderful care of our senior pup and 2 cats. One of our cats normally hides from everyone but came out for Kimmie and even got a little pet! We also got photo updates which we appreciated! Thanks again Kimmie!”

Megan L.

“Melony was amazing! I felt very confident that my pups and kitty were loved and taken care of, will def. use her again.. soon!”

Ryan K.

“Stephen is a phenomenal communicator, with humans and pups. He’s very friendly and professional, and is terrific at what he does! Look forward to having him sit for our brood again soon.”

About: I’ve cared for animals most of my life, including regularly volunteering at local shelters and caring for two dogs and three cats of my own. I absolutely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’m an active person and would be happy to take your dog on long, fun, and enriching walks, but I also love relaxing with pets, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’ve cared for up to three dogs at once and am comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m also happy to accommodate special needs, including medications, special diets, and specific care instructions. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and give them the same patience, care, and love I’d want for my own pets! I am currently a part-time employee. My schedule is relatively stable but subject to change. I am unavailable at the following times due to my work schedule: Thursday and Friday 7:30am-3:00pm, and Saturday 6:30am-3:00pm I only do care at client’s homes because of my two cats at home who generally do not like other animals. I am ready to utilize client’s backyards, nearby trails, and anything else owners implement into their pet’s daily routine!

“Amanda was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. We hired her to stay in our home for three nights to care for our 14 year old senior dog and our 15 year old cat. My wife and I were a little apprehensive at first about having someone we did not know stay overnight in our home, especially with our senior dog, who needs frequent trips outside and is prone to accidents in the house. Amanda completely exceeded our expectations. She went above and beyond in every way, giving both of our pets the attention they needed and carefully following all of our care instructions. She told us she would treat our pets as if they were her own, and she truly did. Our senior dog needs frequent trips outside, some help walking, and is prone to accidents in the house. Amanda handled all of it with incredible patience, care, and professionalism. She made sure he had plenty of potty breaks by taking him out often, waking up early, and staying up late to care for him. When he had accidents, she took care of everything without hesitation, including thoroughly cleaning him up, washing his blankets and bedding, and making sure he was comfortable afterward. That level of care and compassion really meant a lot to us. She also kept our home incredibly clean. In fact, she even vacuumed the living room before we got home and left the house cleaner than we left it. On top of that, she sent us daily updates and texts about both our dog and cat, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Amanda is a true professional, caring, responsible, attentive, and dependable. She was a huge stress relief for us, and we felt so much better knowing our pets were in such capable hands. We will absolutely be using her again on a regular basis for as long as she is available.”

“Macy is very responsible, kind, and sweet. Our pup Peach absolutely loves her. Macy kept us in the loop with adorable pictures and clear updates. She’s a wonderful communicator and very trustworthy. She even left our home better than she found it. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Iliana took great care of our fur babies while we were away for the week. 2 of our 3 pups had to take medication and Iliana was very helpful in making sure they were administered as needed. I also received updates and photos during our time away, assuring they were having fun and being well taken care of. We came back home to happy pets!”
