Dog Sitting Hudson

About: I’m an animal science major with plans to pursue veterinary medicine, and caring for animals—especially dogs—is truly what lights me up. During high school, I was the go-to neighborhood dog walker, caring for dogs ranging from large breeds to small pups, which helped grow my confidence and love for working with all kinds of dogs. I also have four years of hands-on experience in a busy dog daycare, where I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic zoomie experts to shy cuddle bugs. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some extra belly rubs, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to make your pup’s time away from you feel fun, comfortable, and exciting. I currently work at a dog shelter where my shifts are either from 7am-12pm or 4-9pm. I am happy to work around your pups schedule with ahead of time notice! Before, after, and during my break your dog will have plenty of time to potty and play. When I visit a clients home I give all my love and care to them to make sure they feel happy while the owner is gone. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, safe, and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free.

“Zhalih did an amazing job taking care of our cat while we were away! She went above and beyond by spending extra time with him, playing and making sure he wasn't lonely. It was clear she truly cared, and it gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pet. Five stars!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I personally have 2 dogs. My family and neighbors always ask me to let their dogs out, feed them, and spend some time playing with them. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I am looking for a side job to help keep income flowing, but to also take a break when needed. I have always been a pet lover and what better way to get out of the house by loving on others animals! I find peace in going for walks and getting outside air.

About: I love to play and love on animals, and my daughter loves to research breeds and find what they like the most. And care for them that way. Your pet(s) will be well welcomed to our fun loving home. Welcome! I am working full time, dogs will have full access to backyard at their leisure. If they are unfamiliar with a dog door, I will train them. Litter box cleaned daily. And in the morning and evening some love and play time. I have a fenced in yard, dog door ( that locks) shelves and hiding spots for cats. I had made this an oasis for my cat and dog while they were still with us. Our free time is spent at the cat cafe, and the humane society. We will go walk the dogs there or play with the cats at both places. Any animal in need of love and attention, we are thrilled to provide it. Our dog passed of cancer 3 years ago and needed to be put down as it had spread and she was in terrible pain. It was a slow, and hard for to let go A year ago, our cat had this disease, and she became immobile immediately and was in chronic pain. It was such a quick loss. So I have been a little hesitant to bring another animal in full time. However, all animals are welcome and we look forward to building a safe spot for you and your pet while you are away.

“Michele was great! She dropped in over 4 days to feed, administer medication to and clean up after my 4 cats. My cats were well taken care of and happy. Michele is also very responsive to messages and I was never worried. Would definitely recommend her services.”

About: I have 2dogs of my own and just adore them to pieces and plan to go back to foster/rescue dogs in the future. I once had 4 dogs but 2 of them got older and had to cross the rainbow 🌈 bridge. I am currently a SAHM i have pretty flexibility other than having to take my son to and from pre school. So depending on the time I might have my son with me or my daycare kiddo with me. I have a fenced yard and my dogs have plenty of room to run and have fun. They have there own little pool during the summer and a covered porch during the rainy season.

“Ava did such a great job with all 4 of my pets. She was able to help in short notice and was very detailed in her visit notes. I would recommend Ava to anyone and will definitely use her services again.”

I have experience with feeding routines, administering medication, cleaning up after pets, and providing lots of love, playtime, and cuddles. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own (Rigby, my senior cavapoo, and Dante, my 1-year old black cat, would attest if they could)! Whether you're heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work part time until mid-May, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Please DM for specific hours, as they will vary slightly! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I always treat their space and routines with the utmost respect. I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s usual schedule, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, or quiet time. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I keep things clean, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, keeping everything as normal and familiar as possible.
