House Sitting Hodgin

“Brigit was great! I would definitely recommend her for cat care. She gave me updates and my cat and home seemed great when I returned. Thank you!”

Mattie S.

“Leah sent us daily updates and we came back to a tidy house and calm and happy kitties. We appreciated that she took care of kitten messes and kept us informed.”

Cathy D.

“Autumn has watched my dog and cat several times, and takes such good care of them. I know that my furry kids are in great hands with her. My dog Evan has severe separation anxiety, but Autumn gives him so much love that he is able to work through it. For this past booking, I had some scheduling changes and asked Autumn at the last minute if she could stay three additional nights. She immediately accepted, giving me such peace of mind. She sends tons of amazing pictures and updates. We are so grateful to have found her!”

Lisa G.

“Our dogs were very well taken care of. Daniel stayed at our house and, when we returned, the house was exactly how we left it. Daniel sent multiple pictures every day that we were gone and we completely felt at ease while on vacation knowing that the dogs were in good hands.”

Dustin W.

“Erin was great! Not only did she take great care of our dogs, but she genuinely seemed to care about them and enjoy spending time with them. Erin provided lots of updates and pictures. Erin was respectful, responsible, and we will definitely be asking Erin to pet sit again!”

Eliot N.

“CELESTE IS THE BEST EVERRRR!!!! We cannot sing enough praises for her, especially from our Ozy boy. We will re hire this angel over and over again. She kept our apartment soooo nice and clean and helped bring in our mail. Even offered to help with Ozy’s litter box when we didn’t ask. We are so lucky to have youuu!!! ♥️♥️♥️ So communicative, polite and friendly and just all around a gem. We trust her sm! Wish I can give you 100 stars!!”

Rean B.

“As always, Ava takes great care of my Tallulah & Dennis. Always prompt and arrives when she says. I’m so appreciative of the great care she gives my 2. Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.”

Melinda D.

“August took great care of our pups when we were gone. He was very communicative and sent a lot of pictures. There were some unexpected things that came up and he handled them better than we could have expected.”

About: A little about me: I’ve had a dog by my side every day since I was six years old — dogs are an integral part of my life, not just something I do on the side. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of every size, age, and temperament, from tiny lap dogs to a 90-pound Labrador, and from bouncy puppies to dogs in their older years. Experience: My deepest experience is with senior and special-needs dogs. My Labrador had a series of health challenges, including three separate leg surgeries. I nursed him through every recovery, which meant walking him with a support sling until he was back on his feet. When he was later diagnosed with cancer, I cared for him through hospice at home — giving his daily medications and keeping him comfortable and loved right to the end. So if your older dog needs medication, a little mobility help, or just extra patience and gentleness, that’s something I genuinely know how to do. I’m just as comfortable with high-energy dogs. That same Labrador was a handful in his younger years, so I know what it takes to keep a strong, active dog happy and well-exercised. I also love puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to walk more than one dog at a time, and I have experience with leash-reactive dogs — I know how to keep walks calm, controlled, and low-stress for a dog who needs a little extra management. Right now I share my home with two girls — a 15-year-old Chihuahua mix and a 2-year-old Cairn Terrier — so both ends of the age spectrum are part of my daily routine. Before them I’ve cared for several terriers and a Border Collie mix, among others. I walk my own dogs every single day and I’ll keep yours on a good routine too. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends who were thrilled with the care I provided — beyond looking after their dogs, I kept their homes tidy, watered plants, and brought in mail, treating each home with the same respect I’d give my own. Services: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting: • Dog walking — I keep dogs safely leashed and give them a proper outing with a good sniff, steady exercise, and a potty break, adjusting the length and pace sensibly for the weather. • Drop-in visits — I come to your home to feed, refresh water, handle potty breaks, play, and give plenty of affection, plus tidy up any little messes before I head out. • House sitting — I stay overnight in your home and keep your dog’s whole world running on schedule (feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and steady company) while also looking after your place by keeping it tidy, bringing in the mail, and watering plants. Availability: I work from home and set my own hours, so I’m around for your dog far more than the average sitter — and I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Pet care is the center of my day, not an afterthought, which means real time and attention whether it’s a midday walk, an unhurried drop-in, or being present in your home throughout the day on an overnight stay. The only exception is the occasional family commitment, which I always know about well in advance, so I can be upfront about my availability every single time. Peace of mind: Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m always happy to send photo and video updates so you can see your pup having a good time, and I’ll check in as often as you’d like while you’re away. And should anything ever go wrong, I’m able to drive your dog to the vet in an emergency — so you can travel with real peace of mind. Pet care is the center of my daily routine. I work from home, my schedule is very open and flexible, so I can build my day around your dog's needs rather than squeezing them in. The only exception is the occasional family commitment I schedule around, and because those are always planned well in advance, I'll always know my availability far ahead of time and can be upfront with you about it. To give you a sense of how I run a day: my own dogs eat at 8am and 6pm, get a 20–40 minute walk in the evening, and I stay attentive throughout the day to when they need to go out. My younger dog gets dedicated playtime with her toys, and my senior girl gets her medication right on schedule every other day. I keep that same consistency and attention for any dog in my care — sticking to your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication, and potty routine so their world stays steady while you're away. When I care for your dog in your home, safety comes first. I keep all doors and gates closed and latched, and I'm constantly aware of where your dog is — especially any time I'm heading in or out, so there's no chance of an escape. I follow whatever house rules and routines you set. I also treat your home with the same respect I give my own. When I dog-sat for family and friends, I kept their house tidy, watered their plants, and brought in mail while they were away. I will leave your home just as you left it, keep you updated with photos while you're gone, and communicate quickly about anything that comes up. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house in good order.

“Rose is the best! My super shy kitty who normally hides the entire time I’m gone is comfortable enough around Rose that she not only comes out of hiding but plays! cat owners of shy kitties will know how big of a deal this is 😍”

“We were happy to find Kristen available to house sit after some plans changed before a trip. Her communication was great, our home was just how we left it, and our pets were happy. Will be glad to have her back!”

Nicole D.

“Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!”

Beatrice K.

“Malcolm did a great job watching our 2 dogs while we were away! He kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout our trip. The dogs loved him too. Definitely recommend!”

Nina J.

“Marlena is the epitome of a professional who cares for all animals. When a dog sitter left me in a lurch before a big trip, she stepped up with very short notice and provided the most amazing care to all my fur babies. She is patient, communicative, and above all else caring and kind. I could not have asked for a better person to step up in my time of need and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook if our schedules realigned.”

About: I’ve had my own animals and helped care for family and friend’s animals since I was young. (30+ years!) I am a runner/walker for more active animals but also love snuggles or calm indoor play. I’m comfortable with all ages of cats, dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, and more! I currently work a flexible part-time schedule and prioritize getting outside daily, so I’d be happy to bring your dog along for my walks or make time for indoor play as well! I like to send photos and updates to pet parents to let you know your fur babies are being well-loved. I have a reliable vehicle for bringing them to a park or larger space if needed.

About: I love playing with dogs, and taking care of them. Walks are also not a problem for me. I use to be a dog owner for many years, so I am very aware of how much your little companion means to you. I am also very patient and talented with pet discipline, so if you have a young pup, I am very willing to work with it if need be. I believe it is very important to work with dogs especially when they are little puppies. I work from home full time, and my schedule is fairly flexible. Since I work from home I am able to watch your pet easily. I have a complete fenced backyard, and also a doggy door inside if your pet is trained to use it. I will make sure your pet is as comfortable as they can be while you are away.

“Faris was great with my Great Pyrenees. He sent pictures of what my dog was doing and left the house in great shape. I would definitely use Faris again.”

“Onrae met with us twice before we left on vacation to meet the dogs and then orient himself with our house sitting needs. Onrae stayed in good communication with us while we were gone for 6 days, including photos. When we returned home, the house was exactly how we left it and the dogs were happy and healthy.”

Dustin W.

“Michelle was the perfect sitter for our dog. I am extremely grateful to have found her. Our older German Shepherd is going blind and is very much an inside dog because the sun is very damaging to her eyes. We needed to I find someone who was able to be here during the day so that Lacie could stay inside. Michelle was the perfect fit!! She played with her outside so she could still get a little exercise but then could stay in for the majority of the day. We are very grateful for her!!”

Karen K.

“Kat is the BEST!!! Our dog and cat adore this sitter. Kat sent pictures daily of the animals. Very grateful to have found this super reliable animal lover. After being gone for a week, didn't feel stressed at all leaving our home and pets.”
