Pet Sitting Holmes

“Our beloved fur-boy is Garrett, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky who loves Richie! Just recently, we went away for a 5-day trip and had to leave Garrett at home. Luckily, we met Richie and hired him to do drop-in visits, 3 times a day, for the entire time we were away. Richie made sure that Garrett was taken out for his potty breaks, took him for walks and provided the kind of service and care that he needed. Richie delivered beyond my expectations. He is very reliable, dependable and communicated really well, providing us with updates and feedbacks. From now onwards, he is my to-go-to person whenever we need a back up care for Garrett!”

“Krista is prompt, reliable and takes great care of my sweet kitties. Cats know how to judge people and mine do not come out for just anyone but Krista quickly won them over. I am definitely going to continue to be a repeat customer.”

“Barbara took wonderful care of my shy cat! She was patient, kind, and sent lovely updates and photos. I really appreciated how thoughtful she was in dealing with my cat's shyness - it is clear that she loves cats and pays close attention to each of their quirks and needs. I recommend her without hesitation!”

About: I’ve raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and my love for animals is a big part of who I am. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. As a pet lover, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to every visit. I’ll take time to learn your pet’s personality, follow their familiar routines, and give them the attention they need—whether that means a playful walk or quiet companionship. With regular photos and updates, my goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a passion for me, and I’m excited to make it a regular part of my week. I’m available seven days a week, with visits and walks scheduled around my other commitments. Whether you need consistent weekly support or occasional help, I’ll work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine and give them the care and attention they deserve. Having raised dogs and cats my entire life, I understand how important familiar routines, patience, and careful attention are to helping pets feel safe. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and playtime, taking time to build trust and notice any changes in your pet’s behavior or comfort. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine—keeping pet areas clean, securing doors and gates, and following your household preferences. I’ll handle keys and access information carefully and send regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are in caring hands.

About: As someone who considers my own dog to be my best friend, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to treat your pet like family. I know what it takes to keep dogs happy, safe, and loved because I do it every day with my own. I'm reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your pet feels right at home while you’re away!!! I am currently working part-time (5-hour shifts on average), so I have a flexible schedule to spend time with the pups before and after shifts!! When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine, space, and safety a top priority. I treat your home with respect and make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease while you’re away.

About: If you’re looking for someone to just drop a bowl of kibble and scroll on their phone, I’m probably not your person. But if you want someone who will treat your pet like a misunderstood genius or a retired diplomat, we’re going to get along great! I work for the MTA as a train operator in the city, but on my days off I love taking my corgi Zuko on long walks and playing in our yard. I've had dogs and cats since I was young, and have a special affinity for all animals. If you want your fur baby treated like the king or queen they know they are while you're away, look no further! I am currently off Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays so I will have the full 24 hours of those days to walk, play, entertain, and care for your pets. I have a large unfenced yard on a very quiet street off the main road. I also have a extremely friendly and energetic corgi named Zuko who will assuredly be your pets new best friend. There will be tons of playing, running, fetch and more to ensure your pet has the best experience staying at their home away from home.

About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

“Jen did drop in visits for us with our cat while we were on vacation and kept her well fed and cuddled. She was reliable and trustworthy. We received daily photos to reassure us she was doing well. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We’re very grateful to have found her to care for our cat so we could relax on vacation.”

“John has been great with Toby. He’s reliable, pays close attention to the details, and takes good care of him during drop-in visits for feeding and potty breaks. Toby is always happy to see him. I feel very comfortable having John care for him and would definitely recommend him.”

About: Hi, I’m Cory! I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have many years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I grew up with multiple dogs of my own and have also cared for many dogs and cats through Rover over the years. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I do have a kitten named Callie who is very friendly and accustomed to the dogs that stay with us. Your dog does not need to be cat friendly to stay with me. If your dog doesn’t do well with cats, just let me know ahead of time so I can make arrangements to keep Callie safely separated and give your dog their own space. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you’re away. My goal is to make every dog in my care feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and am happy to follow specific feeding schedules, walking routines, sleeping arrangements, and other instructions you provide. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs who require a little extra attention as part of their daily routine. I currently work at a middle school on weekdays until 1:45 PM. While I’m at work, my husband is home with our three children, so dogs staying with us are never left home alone during that time. Once I’m home, I’m available to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. We also have a fully fenced in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely get outside, stretch their legs, play, and enjoy some fresh air throughout the day. IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: Because this is a family home with children and I may care for dogs from more than one household, all dogs staying with me must be friendly and safe around children. Dogs must also be friendly with other dogs unless we have discussed and arranged a private stay in advance. If your dog is not dog friendly or you are unsure how they behave around other dogs, I may still be able to accommodate them ONLY when arranged with me ahead of time and I have no other dogs scheduled to board during their stay. Please contact me before booking so I can confirm whether I’m able to provide a private stay for your requested dates. Otherwise, dogs staying with me must be comfortable and safe around other dogs. For the safety of my family and every animal in my care, I ask that you be completely open with me about your dog’s personality, habits, medical needs, anxieties, triggers, and typical behavior. The more I know about your dog beforehand, the better I can make their stay comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being treated like part of the family while they’re here. You can depend on me to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care and to treat your pet as I would my own. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or tell me a little about your pet before booking. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I'm off from work during the summer and during the school year I work at a middle school until 1:45. While I’m gone, my family will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I will do anything to make your pup feel comfortable and at home away from home during his stay with me. I love detailed instructions so please feel free to let me know everything about your pet! I have a fenced in yard and 2 children who are huge dog lovers who would love to keep your dog(s) busy and keep them company!

“Carlie is FABULOUS! She had quality visits with my two dogs, and provided thorough, insightful honest feedback about how each was doing. One is an elder requiring heart meds. He showed some signs of stress on one of her visits which she described to a T. She had the good judgement to give him a pee and poo break but forego the walk with him. Next visit he was great. Based upon her feedback I felt completely confident that they were in the best possible hands. Carlie is a vet tech, and this added skill/ experience was obvious in how she handled things. She is a woman of kind and gentle temperament and great skill. I could not recommend her more highly. THANK YOU CARLIE!”
