House Sitting in Hollins

“Darien did a great job house sitting for our puppy Halo. Her personality was calm and took great care of Halo. She took him on many adventures and got his energy out. She brought her pup over to visit and they we’re a great fit. She cleaned the house and made sure it was tidy before she left. We would definitely recommend Darien for future visits/sitting again!”

“Justine watched our pups for a week and they were obviously well-cared for and loved. I was relaxed the whole time away knowing that she had them in hand. We had a small hiccup with exactly which food to feed, but it was an easy fix and I look forward to having Justine back as often as she is available. She left the house just as she found it- possibly even better.”

“She was amazing and took great care of both of our dogs. We will definitely be continuing to have her watch our dogs in the future! Thank you again!”

“I am so pleased Trina kept my very spoiled poochon! She stayed at my house and slept with her, played with her and walked her. She left my home neat and probably cleaner. I believe she is very special and I am pleased to give her a rating of five stars plus and my dog will agree!!!”

Ann R.

“We continue to use Machalah regularly for overnight sits with our dog! She’s so communicative and sweet with him. He definitely has a great bond with her and it’s awesome to have peace of mind when traveling that our dog is well cared for!”

“Jade took such good care of George and Ginger for us. The pictures Jade sent us of both puppies were very thoughtful and heart warming. She communicated any questions very well and let us know when she arrived and left. We will definitely be asking Jade to watch our fur babies again.”

“Great sitter for our two spoiled dogs! We were on an international trip and Zoe was very flexible and able to do overnights which eased our minds with a 14 week old puppy. Will use again!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals, dogs, cats, bunnies, and horses. I have been watching animals over the last 5 years while I was in college and have provided animals with excellent care ensuring medication is taken and have had a lot of senior care patients but also have watched fosters. Worked at the horse barn for around 3 years so have over 500 hours there , and because I want to go to veterinary school I have around 350 shadow hours with a cat and around 1100 hours pet sitting. I currently do work 2 part time jobs , but both are really flexible with me to be able to fit this into my schedule. In clients home I follow all instructions that are given to me by the owner to ensure that proper care is given to the pet .

“Stephanie is an awesome and amazing sitter. We had a great experience her with a last minute request, and would recommend her to anybody- she understands our puppy’s needs and is very communicative :) thank you Stephanie!”

“Steve is awesome! We are always nervous about taking on new sitters for our quirky bunch but Steve made us and them feel at ease right away. During his stay he was super communicative, sending regular status updates and pictures. As a houseguest he was very respectful, keeping up with the mail and making sure to leave the place as he found it. We will definitely have Steve and/or Wanda back!”

Nicole D.

“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”

“Hannah did such a great job taking care of our dog and our home. Our dog is aging and a bit anxious and Hannah was very patient with her. She left our home need and tidy, we would welcome her help anytime!”

About: I’m attentive, energetic, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I make sure walks are not just exercise, but engaging and mentally stimulating. I adapt pace and structure depending on your dog’s energy level and personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of routines and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I work full-time during the week, so I primarily offer availability on weekends, with limited weekday evening visits when scheduling allows. I’m intentional about the bookings I accept to ensure I can provide focused, reliable care without overextending my schedule. Weekend availability allows me to dedicate unhurried, quality time to walks, drop-ins, and extended visits. You can expect punctuality, clear communication, and consistent updates throughout each booking. If you need advance scheduling, I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to ensure availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I follow all care instructions carefully, like feeding routines, medication schedules, leash preferences, crate use, and any household rules you have in place. I understand how important consistency is for reducing stress while you’re away. During walks, I use secure leash handling at all times and remain alert to surroundings, other animals, and environmental hazards. I do not take unnecessary risks, and I always prioritize controlled, safe outings tailored to your dog’s temperament and energy level. In your home, I respect your space, keep doors and gates secure, and ensure food, litter areas, and water stations remain clean and maintained. I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. You can expect professionalism, attentiveness, and clear updates so you feel confident your pet and home are in responsible hands.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Ranging from fish and turtles to cats and dogs. I will love and care for your fur baby as if it is my own! 💕🐾 I work part time at a local school and I am a full time college student but I can usually make time for when I am needed! I have previously worked as a baby sitter so my childcare experience has prepped me for safe and proper conditions within both my clients and my own home

“I was a super nervous Nelly because I have never left my pets with a stranger before, and I have a special needs dog. I was kept extremely well informed of how everyone was doing and my fears were abated. The pictures and videos that I received were fabulous and as frequent as I needed them to be. I will absolutely be using Skylynn again and recommend her as a spectacular sitter for all your pets!! Affordable, reliable, and personable, with a keen eye for detail. I will never worry again about taking a trip away from home with Skylynn as my go to sitter!!!”

“Knowing that Cheryle was taking care of our pets was SO good for my blood pressure! Even though the dog was having some "intestinal issues", she was calm and confident... the voice of experience! The house was spotless when we returned. The animals were so happy with her! NO QUESTION I will ask Cheryle for help next time we leave town!!”
