House Sitting in Hope

“Caitlin was an amazing dog and house sitter. She was professional, punctual, and communicative throughout. My older dog struggles with new people, and Caitlin met her exactly where she was at - giving her space and helping her through the weekend. As an anxious dog mom, I felt completely at peace knowing Junie was in her care. I highly recommend booking Caitlin for your next trip!”

“Kaitlyn is super communicative, thinks about how to make the experience the best it possibly can be for your pet, and sends tons of photos and updates to make sure you know your pet is in the best hands possible and is happy and taken care of! It’s obvious Kaitlyn enjoys caring for pets and that this means more to her than just a job!”

“Meg is the BEST!! She was so communicative, has so much knowledge about dogs and pets and brings such a kind gentle energy! We felt so comfortable leaving our sweet dog with her for a weekend and hope to work with her in the future! Thank you again Meg!”

“Cheyana was SUPER patient meeting my reactive dog and making sure he was comfortable safely cared for while I was away. Highly recommend to anyone in need of pet care!!”

“Sylvia took good care of JoJo for an evening. She displayed a gentle, warm approach with him and he was very comfortable with her. We will be glad to engage her again.”

“Shannon was such an amazing house sitter for our 20 year old cat. She administered medicine and also focused solely on the house sitting. She helped with other things as well like Amazon packages and also kept the house spotless for our return home. Thank you so much, Shannon!”

About: I've taken care of many animals over the years. Small dogs and cats to great big dogs like great Pyrenees and German Shepards. I can give the love and attention to any animals in need. I can administer medicine to animals and do tasks like nail trims. I cannot wait to get to know your furry friends. I am an animals lover and I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own. I love all animals and would love to take the time to care more. I have plenty of flexibility and would love to use that time to pet sit. I have a home with a large fenced in back yard, and availably to let the dogs use the bathroom and go out and play whenever they need or want. I also have many dogs toys and dog treats. I also have many cat toys and cat treats. I love going for walks with dogs and am happy to want the pups for any distance and any place.

“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”

“Meredith was wonderful with our high-energy pup Patrice for the holiday weekend. We knew he was in good hands and that made us feel good about enjoying our time away. We hope Meredith is available for future trips!!!”

About: I've been raised with dogs and cats since day one. They are part of my DNA. I'm kind and caring and will treat your pet like my own. I am pet free for the very first time. Your pet will be my total priority. Call me, Jean. I have great references. I'm trained in first aid I am retired from Alaska Airlines. I make several week long trips a year. Otherwise I am close at hand to meet your needs at your home or mine. My bungalow is fenced in and has good dog walking areas surrounding the property. I normally take my pets to the beach 2 blocks from my home. Walking intervals are every 3 hours unless more is needed.

“Susan is so personable and kind! She arrived early and stayed a few minutes later because our movie went a little over. We hadn’t been on a date night in months and she stayed with our doggy and boy did he love her. She sent text updates and even some fun selfies. We can’t wait to book her again! Thank you so much Susan!”

“My dog was more anxious than usual and RoseWillow was incredibly patient and responsive. She was early, responsible and incredibly gracious and I would love to have her sit again anytime.”

About: Throughout my life, animals and children have been drawn to my soft energy. I’ve had and been around dogs and cats all my life. I’ve been working with my giant schnauzer and friends’ dogs that range from rescued grey hounds to small mixed breeds. I am the go-to for any pet sitting for the fur babies. I’m an aunt to a female brindle kitty that is a sassy lady but loves to snuggle me when I visit. Additionally, I frequently watch a reactive grey hound and I am able to still provide the attention she deserves. I understand patience is key when working with people and animals. I currently am a travel Behavioral Therapist for children with autism. I travel to clients’ homes and usually am not gone for more than 5 hours including commute. My weekly schedule can vary but I am clear through with my communication and the expectations needed for any situation. I am typically a homebody who enjoys movies, games, and reading. When house sitting, I usually hang around with your fur baby and offer emotional support until you return. I’ll follow their lead and offer bids for connection. I stick to the routine schedule provided to me (feedings and potty breaks). While providing the known routine for comfort to the animal, I use this time to attempt pairing whether that be with pets of affection, extra treats (if allowed and within acceptable limit), or structured play time.

“Dina was absolutely amazing with our pretty nervous, anxious pup!! I was nervous myself and not sure what to expect as Dina is new to Junie. It appeared Junie warmed up to Dina pretty quickly which made me feel so much more relaxed while we were away. She sent pictures and updates which were a bonus. She treated Junie like her own. I highly recommend Dina and will definitely use her again!”

“Olivia was great with house sitting our dog. She kept him happy and safe, taking him on long walks and playing in the backyard. Took good care of the house and our pet tortise too! She provided good updates and gave us peace of mind. Certainly plan to rely on Olivia in future house sitting.”

About: Since childhood, I’ve had a deep love for animals and have always treated every pet as if they were my own. I believe all pets deserve the same love and care they so generously give to us. However, I am very understanding that each pet is unique in their own personality. As a proud dog mom to two very special but different pups—one being a rescue from the meat trade in South Korea—I’ve gained valuable experience in recognizing stressors and triggers in dogs that may be more reactive. I approach each pet with patience, understanding, and proactive care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at peace. Just because an animal has had a difficult past doesn’t mean that sets the trajectory of their future. I am a small business owner which means I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they ultimately deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I can adjust to your needs to ensure your furry friends are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I prioritize consistency and routine so pets feel comfortable and cared for in every visit! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. I create a warm, stress-free environment where pets feel secure, loved, and at ease. I follow each pet’s routine, respect their space, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles to keep them happy and safe. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who can provide companionship and extra playtime for pets in my home. For pets who prefer to be alone, I have plenty of space to ensure their comfort and relaxation.

“Madeline was absolutely amazing! She stepped in at the last minute and went above and beyond to take care of my dogs. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated every step of the way and even sent the sweetest pictures, which really put my mind at ease. My pups adored her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Madeline to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and professional!”

“There is no need to think about booking her. Do it! I don’t leave my fur baby with just anyone. The minute I met her I knew she would be so sweet to my mojo and he would be in good hands. We already booked her for our next trip to watch him. Thank you Carolyn!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and am currently living with a wonderful pup, Sherlock, who is an incredible, calm, and friendly 50lb hound-mix. Given my experience living and caring for dogs, many friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with walking their dogs or pet-sitting their houses, and it's something I quite enjoy. I am a school teacher, so during this summer season, I have flexible availability to care for your loved ones whether it is for a nice day hike or at night for cuddles and protection! I live in an apartment right across from a park with empty fields and woodland trails. I love walking and would be more than happy to help you while gaining a trail partner in the process! And walks aside, we know all pets need a little bit of love, play, and a responsible caretaker, of which I'd be happy to provide!

“Victoria stayed in my home for 10 days while I was away. She snuggled, played and loved on my dog the whole time. She sent me pictures and texts everyday to assure me my dog was doing well! She also kept my house very clean and better than when I left! I highly recommend Victoria! I will definitely be using her again.”
