House Sitting Hilltown

About: I have loved animals my whole life. There has never been a time I can remember without a pet in the picture. Raised with dogs and cats, and now a corgi mom of two, I have 17 years of pet care experience. I'm comfortable giving pills and following medication schedules, and I'm experienced with bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. As a dog mom, I understand how important it is that our fur babies are cared for and never feel left behind, and that's why I promise to love and care for yours like my own. I'm working from home so I have more time for my dogs, and to step in for yours when your travel plans don't allow pets to come along. Your fur baby won't be left alone for long stretches. I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time-flexibility to spend time with and play with your pets! I am able to do check-ins in your home every 2-4 hours on week days and spend larger chunks of time with them (or even overnight) on weekends. If overnight is needed on weekdays, I can work that in with notice. I don't board pets in my home. Instead, I offer house and pet sitting so your pet stays comfortable in a familiar space and on their normal routine. Before any booking, I like to schedule a meet and greet so you can meet me, and so your pet and I can become familiar with one another. It also gives me a chance to learn their routine. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medication schedules, and exercise, and I'll send photo and text updates during every visit. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets and homes for years, and I'm confident I can give you the peace of mind you need when traveling without your fur baby.

“Lauren was amazing with my shy girl Dolly. She responded quickly to last minutes needs for us to have her watch Dolly. She sent pictures as well to calm this momma's nerves. Would highly recommend Lauren!!!”

“Alyssa was amazing! We went away for a weekend and she stayed with our (needy, dramatic, loving, sweet) old dog. Our dog loves her and seemed to take to her immediately. We’ll definitely work with Alyssa again”

“I wanted to say,We had peace of mind knowing our animals were being well cared for and we could concentrate on our vacation. We could not have ask for anyone better to stay at the house and take care of our two dogs. I know it wasn’t easy with our dog Mylie’s separation anxiety but from our meet and greet to the last day pet sitting Isabel was great. She sent daily updates and photos. We will gladly recommend Isabel to all our friends and family. Thank you again Isabel 🐶”

“Our first time using Rover and Adriana. It worked out quite well. Adriana was great! She was responsive and on time for our meet and greet and her scheduled dog sitting event. She was very sweet and continued to smile when our big 90 lb baby Remi happily (and powerfully) greeted her, Mr Remi as she affectionately called him. She followed our instructions as discussed. She sent pictures and text updates during her stay with Mr Remi and left our home just as neat as when she arrived. We are feeling fairly confident and happy we have found our Rover match! We look forward to calling on her again to stay with Mr Remi and continuing to foster a healthy and safe dog care relationship.”

“Kerri was amazing. Stayed at our house and took excellent care of our Great Dane while we were away on a long weekend trip. Sent us updates and left everything super neat and tidy! Look forward to having her sit again :)”

“Thank you Leilani for keeping my furbabies company while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks again. Will be looking for you again when we plan our next vacation.”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets and homes for family, friends, and private clients, and I understand that both come with a real responsibility. When someone entrusts me with their home and animals, I take that trust seriously. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats, and I’m happy to follow established routines for feeding, walks, treats, medications, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ve cared for pets who need extra patience and consistency, including a young puppy who was still being potty trained. I also understand that every animal has its own personality and routine, and I make an effort to keep their life as normal and comfortable as possible while their people are away. My house-sitting experience goes well beyond simply being present in the home. I’ve cared for plants and gardens, watered lawns and operated sprinklers, brought in mail and packages, handled basic outdoor chores, and kept an eye on the property. I’ve also handled unexpected responsibilities, including meeting contractors, photographing completed work before authorizing payment, arranging appointments, receiving deliveries, and taking care of errands for homeowners while they were away. Communication is an important part of my approach. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so homeowners can see that their pets and property are doing well. I know how reassuring it can be to see your dog happily lounging on the couch or your garden looking healthy when you're hundreds of miles away. As a freelance writer, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my day. I can structure my work around a pet’s routine rather than expecting a pet to fit around a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Whether a pet needs morning or evening walks, regular meals, medication, playtime, or simply some companionship during the day, I have the flexibility to be there. I’m also able to spend extra time with pets who need more attention or have specific routines. I enjoy the rhythm of pet care and the opportunity to give each animal the consistency, attention, and companionship they’re accustomed to while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines, while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. Because I’m a freelance writer with a flexible schedule, I can devote time to pets who need more than a quick visit. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets, following special instructions, and adjusting to each pet’s personality and needs. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets. I keep things clean and secure, communicate regularly, and provide updates with photos and videos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Destiny took great care of our three pups, Dolly, Brewster and Clifford! When Clifford had an upset tummy, she handled it calmly. She cleaned him up and kept me updated the whole time. She was thoughtful about keeping the dogs safe, like closing the bathroom door so they couldn't get into the trash. I'd happily book her again!”

Aurora C.

“Christian was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met him, we knew Dobby was going to be in wonderful hands—and that he’d found a new best friend. Christian took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and very loved-on pup! We would absolutely love to have Christian stay in our home with Dobby again and couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

Amanda E.

“We are so thankful we found Caylene! Our dogs love her & had the best time with her while we were away. It’s always comforting to have someone you can trust to care for your fur babies when you’re not home. The dogs can’t wait for their next visit!”

Nicholas S.

“Hannah was flexible with some last minute schedule changes. She did a great job of caring for Ripley (my dog) as well as my chickens. She communicated throughout my time away. Would definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. I have pet sat for family and friends since I was a teenager. I have done a little of everything from potty breaks, walks, to over night stays. I do have a full-time job 9-5:30 but have time in the morning, evenings, and weekends. Also my job will have a remote option in 2027 give me more flexibility. I take the time to ask the best way to keep your pet safe and what a typical day looks like for your family. I can walk dogs, let them out into a yard, and crate them if needed. Nothing is too much for me I have been around a lot of pets with different needs.

About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three dogs (two Rottweilers and a Shih Tzu) who were treated like members of the family. In addition to a lifetime of personal experience around dogs, I also have numerous years of professional experience as a dog walker, dog sitter, and house sitter. Working with dogs is truly one of my greatest joys in life 😊 I promise to care for your fur babies (and your home) as if they were my own. I enjoy traveling to new locations for dogsitting, and am always up for an adventure! I have experience working with dogs of all ages and sizes. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings as long as I'm available. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I'm self employed, which allows me the flexibility of setting my own schedule. When I'm working a dog sitting job, I consider it my first priority. I'm happy to adjust my personal schedule to accomodate your dog's individual routine and needs. I currently offer overnight dog sitting at my clients' homes. This allows your dog to feel at ease in his/her own living space, and alleviates the potential stress of traveling and adjusting to a new environment. I often work from home for my other jobs, so I'm able to spend lots of quality time bonding with the dogs that I work with. I'm very communicative with my clients during a job, and often send updates and photos to let you know how everything is going. If you're a dog owner who also has cats, I'm happy to care for them for a small additional fee. (Please refer to "additional cat" on the list of services that I provide).

“Bronte is amazing! I left my 2 high energy dogs (vizslas) with Bronte overnight. This was my first time ever leaving my dogs with another person, so I was very nervous. Bronte was so amazing and communicative that I didn't worry at all while I was gone. She took great care of my dogs and my home. One of my dogs is on medication, which wasn't a problem at all for Bronte. She sent me pictures and videos, kept me updated, and my dogs were clearly having a ton of fun with her. I would leave my dogs with Bronte again in a heartbeat. She was awesome.”

“Jacqueline was great! She sent lots of pictures and even a video. Our dog Rosco seemed very content and happy while she was at the house.”

About: Hello! My name is Jenni and I’m a Registered Vet Tech. I live and work in Frederick County, MD. I have 2 cats and a puppy of my own at home who make every day interesting, fun, and full of love. I have loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Caring for pets is my genuine passion, so I made it my career! I’ve had my own pets since I was 10 years old (probably younger) and I have worked in the veterinary medicine industry for 20+ years. I work full-time as an RVTg at a local veterinary hospital and I am looking to make some extra cash on the side. Your pet will be cared for as if it were my own! I’ll consider any reasonable offer regarding amount for services. I do not have a fear of any dog/cat, I have no breed restrictions, and I have no problem scooping litter boxes or cleaning up after dogs on walks. Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to rabbits, guinea pigs/hamsters/gerbils, and birds and therefore cannot visit any home that has these pets in them. I require proof of an up-to-date Rabies vaccination for all dogs and cats. NOT the tag, the actual certificate (your vet can provide this for you). I have 2 cats of my own that make every day interesting and fun. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pet(s) as if they were my own!

“Tracie was able to help us at the last minute as we had to go out of town for a funeral. She was very pleasant and provided feedback and photos throughout the trip. We returned to two happy dogs and a lovely boiquet of flowers to bright our day after a solemn couple of days away. Very sweet!”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up with dogs, so being around them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve dog sat and house sat for friends and family for years, and I’ve also helped friends who foster dogs take care of their puppies. I currently have two dogs of my own that we rescued from Saint Martin in 2023, and I absolutely adore them. They’re a huge part of my life, and I’m so thankful we were able to give them a loving home. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes yours happiest and most comfortable. Whether that means walks, playing outside, lots of attention and belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch, I’m there for it! I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in between careers, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I do have a few other small jobs and am occasionally away on weekends, but my schedule varies and I’m generally pretty open. I’m happy to work with you to find days and times that fit your needs, and I’ll always be upfront about my availability! I will do everything needed to ensure your pets get the care that they deserve and make sure they are as safe, happy and loved as possible!
