House Sitting Hope

“David makes our dogs feel safe and loved. They run to him as soon as they see him. He followed all our specific instructions and was very conscientious. He snuggled with them and played with them. We really appreciated how positive he was about staying with Belle and Rory. We would definitely use David again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was born. I love how no two pets are the same. I treat every pet like they’re my own fur babies. I have many years of experience in both small and large animal care. I work as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable giving your fur baby daily medication if needed. I am very flexible with timing on when your fur baby needs attention and lovings. I will work my daily tasks around your pets schedule! Everything will be followed what you tell me how to care for your fur baby. I will always give them a lot of attention and lovings.

“Andrew did a great job house sitting for our 3 pups. He was very patient with our German Shepherd (she has separation anxiety), and confident that she would eventually adjust to him being there- and she did! She even slept near Andrew! Andrew sent photos daily of the pups! They were in great hands! We would feel very comfortable leaving our pups with Andrew again! Also, our house was kept very neat upon our return home.”

“Laura was so helpful with our 15 year old pup, who can be a little quirky. She handled his evening medications perfectly and made us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful to know he was in such good hands, thank you!”

“I felt extremely safe leaving my anxious pup with Thalia! I was updated during the day and was very reassured when I expressed concern about Morti’s behaviors. Definitely going to book with Thalia again!”

About: 've been a dog owner for over 10 years and currently have three dogs and a cat, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and cats, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I'm patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, or just have some company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Caring for my own three dogs and cat has made pet care a natural part of my day. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and providing companionship to ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for! The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, needs, and preferences so they can feel secure while away from their owner. In both my home and a client's home, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment. I closely supervise pets, follow all care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My goal is to treat every pet like they're part of my own family. 🐾❤️

About: I've been a dog person my whole life — there's never been a time I didn't have one by my side. Since I was 15, I've been training Cane Corsos, which has given me a deep understanding of large, powerful breeds and the patience, consistency, and confidence it takes to work with them well. That experience has carried over into a love for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments — from tiny lap dogs to high-energy working breeds. Whether your dog is a laid-back couch companion or needs an experienced handler who understands structure and exercise, I've got the background to make sure they're safe, comfortable, and well cared for. As a contractor, my schedule gives me a big advantage when it comes to dog sitting — I'm usually home all day, every day, and typically only work about once a week. That means your dog won't be left alone for long stretches; they'll have consistent company, attention, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Whether it's a midday walk, playtime in the yard, or just having someone around for comfort, your pup will rarely be without a friendly face nearby.

About: I’m lucky enough to have an open schedule, which means your pet will get my full, undivided attention without being left alone for long stretches of time. I’ve taken care of a little bit of everything - dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs - so I’m really comfortable adapting to whatever unique routine your animal needs. My love playing with animals, chilling with them, and just watching them do what they do. One of my biggest strengths is working with pets who are on the shy or anxious side. I know how stressful it can be for them when their owners are away, so I’m incredibly patient. I know how to read their body language, give them the space they need, and just let them open up to me at their own pace until they feel completely safe. I am currently on summer break from college and take care of my own dogs at home. I make sure to give them everything they need from walks to play to just sitting around together. My main priority is keeping a constant eye on your pet and sticking as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I'm staying at your place or visiting, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, which really helps prevent separation anxiety. While I'm in a client's home, I will treat it with total respect and keep everything secure. I will make sure that all doors and gates are locked securely every time I leave your home, and I always keep dogs on a leash during walks. Because I have experience with everything from energetic dogs and cats to smaller pets like guinea pigs, I’m very aware of safety and choking hazards, like making sure small items or dangerous foods are out of reach.

About: As a dedicated pet care lover, I believe that every pet deserves love, attention, and quality care. I have a life long passion for animals. It's simple. My job is to offer pet parents peace of mind and top notch service. I tailor every experience to meet the unique needs of your furry companions. A playful walk, a cozy overnight stay, or simply extra TLC while your away. I'll treat your pet like family. Your pets happiness and well-being are my priority. I'm currently working from home. Unless I'm on vacation, I am available weekdays and most weekends. Let's make sure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. I will be sure to pet proof my home. Provide cozy beds in private areas where your pet can relax. Reward good behavior. Every pet has a unique personality I will give them patience and give them time to adjust and feel safe. I can provide toys that stimulate their senses and prevent boredom. Keep pet areas clean to prevent health issues.

“This was a last minute booking, and then the details changed the day before due to a member of my family being hospitalized. Wilfred rolled with the changes and adjusted when to arrive and leave my house in order to give my pup a nice intermission from being stuck at home alone. Very communicative, conscientious, and punctual, with a genuine love and care for animals. Will definitely book again when needed.”

“Katie was the absolute best. She went above and beyond for her stay with my high energy pup, taking him on three 2+ mile walks over the course of her stay. She was extremely thorough and detail-oriented, executing each request and keeping our dog on schedule as much as possible. Sending a bunch of pictures and detailed recaps for each visit/walk. We would absolutely love to have Katie watch our dog again!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by pets. My grandparents had plenty of dogs and cats on their farm when I was young. This probably helped develop the love and respect I have for these creatures. From a young age, I have always built a connection with most of the pets I meet. I am extremely comfortable around dogs of all sizes, which may be why dogs are very comfortable with me. I pay close attention to detail with each pet I meet-I learn their behaviors and personalities quickly so that they build trust with me. I am currently the owner of three cats, Quincey, Nabi, and Chai. I am a Cat Dad in every sense, and when I am able to buy a house, I will be a Dog Dad as well. I am currently working from home indefinitely, so my schedule is normally wide open all day long. I am very flexible with my hours, so I will do my best to accommodate your personal schedule preferences. As someone who has taken care of dogs and cats through his entire life, I am very aware of the level of trust and communication needed to perform care well. If you are to choose me for drop in visits or walking your dog, I will communicate with you thoroughly through the whole process. Of course, I believe every pet owner would rather care for their pet themselves than have someone else do it, but sometimes life gets in the way. Keeping this in mind, I will make sure that you feel comfortable and establish a level of trust and communication with you to keep your mind at ease. I am more than willing to meet you in person before my services to get your advice, input, and preferences as to how you want me to conduct my service with your loved pet. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I am a lead at my job, so I run a few meetings through the week. Sometimes the times requested may conflict with what I have going on, but I will always let you know if there is a modification needed. For dog walks, I can work around my meeting times and suggest times that work for me, if that is acceptable by the owners that are booking. For cat drop ins, it would be most beneficial to schedule it past 3pm Mountain Time. Cats are very punctual, and I respect that being a cat Dad myself. I care for each pet I provide service for as if they are my own. I will send plenty pictures and detailed updates of their habits, mood, and bathroom essentials. If I see anything concerning I will always let you know immediately. Worry not about packages in the mail, I will make sure I bring them inside while you are gone and update you on that as well

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every breed, size, and energy level—from anxious rescues to giant goofballs. As a current volunteer at ACCT Philly, I work hands-on with all types of dogs daily, focusing on leash control, confidence-building, and reading body language. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me for overnight stays, multi-dog households, and high-energy pups because I stay calm, structured, and patient no matter what. I’m comfortable with puppy routines, senior care, and special diets, and I always make sure every dog gets the perfect mix of play, structure, and comfort. Whether it’s a jog around the block, a slow senior stroll, or bedtime snuggles—I tailor my care to your dog’s needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine. My schedule is flexible for walks, drop-ins, or overnights, and I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, playtime, and care. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evening cuddles, I’ll build my day around your pet’s routine. Safety and comfort always come first. In my home or yours, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure space to relax and play. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, medications, and boundaries—so they feel right at home. I keep a close eye on body language and behavior to ensure they’re happy and stress-free, and I always send photo updates so you can see how well they’re doing. Whether it’s cats curling up for quiet time or dogs burning off energy, I create a safe, loving environment built on trust.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them and loving them has always come naturally. From daily walks to administering medication and comforting anxious dogs, I’ve done it all with patience and love. Over the years, I’ve also pet-sat for friends and neighbors, often staying overnight to make sure their dogs felt safe and well cared for in their own homes. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like my own. I am currently home for the summer on break from college. I am taking summer classes Monday-Thursday in the morning, but am free late morning and all afternoon. I am typically available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping the pet's routine consistent and stress free. I follow all feeding schedules, walk times, and medication instructions as requested. I LOVE to have plenty of playtime and give lots of attention and affection, while making sure the home stays clean and secure. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I treat your space and your pet with plenty of respect and care.

About: Hi! My name is Deja, and I’m someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have experience caring for multiple pets of my own, including 4 cats and 2 dogs. Over the last 1–2 years, I’ve also gained hands-on pet care experience outside of my own home. As a therapist, compassion, patience, and attentiveness are a huge part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities into the care I provide for every pet. What makes me stand out is the level of care, patience, and emotional attentiveness I bring to animals. I genuinely see pets as beings with feelings, emotions, and unique personalities, and I treat them with the same kindness and respect I would give another person. Being a therapist has strengthened my ability to be calm, observant, trustworthy, and responsive to individual needs, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure around me. I don’t just “watch” pets — I build connection, provide comfort, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently work part-time as a therapist while continuing to grow my caseload. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally include in my schedule because caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I work part time, I’m able to dedicate focused attention, patience, and quality care to the pets I work with rather than treating it like a rushed side job. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and emotional needs, so I approach each animal with compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. Whether your pet needs playtime, comfort, companionship, or gentle patience, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets.

“Jennifer was fantastic with our dog Murphy! She kept him very active and even helped with some of his training. She left the house in pristine condition and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough, you'll be so glad to have her caring for your pup!”

“Bill was so wonderful with our pups! Great communication, very thorough, and ponctual. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were with Bill while we were gone.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life and worked in a doggy day care for over a year. I am educated in general animal anatomy and common conditions given that I was previously enrolled in veterinary courses. I am on track to become a veterinarian so your pet’s wellness is at the top of my priority list!! I’m also extremely comfortable working with all kinds and sizes of animals! I am currently enrolled in a biology program for my pre-vet degree in which I am unavailable Mondays and Wednesdays. I can do day check ins/walks on Tuesdays and Thursday-Sunday at any time. I am also available Thursday-Sunday for pet sitting as well. I will be more than happy to go above and beyond the given instruction as per the client. This includes (if requested) long walks/runs, extra play time, and thorough clean up. I will ensure that the client comes home to a sleepy and happy pet!!

About: I have been around pets since I was a child and have had my own dog for 6 years and a cat for 2.5 years now. I got my dog as a puppy, so I am more than willing to work with pets of any age. I recently finished my second masters degree and work full time in healthcare 3 days/week but can provide care before work, after work, and on my days off. Having 4 days/week off is great and allows me flexibility with my schedule. I love allowing pets to be part of the family, adventure outside often, and allow walks to be the dogs walk and not my walk.

“Bri was so great with our dog, Winnie! Sending me updates and photos the whole time we were away and she made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pup with her. Would definitely recommend her to others!”
