Pet Sitting Hyde Park

About: I spent more than a decade loving a very large, very opinionated German Shepherd named Ruta through epilepsy, severe allergies, endless medication schedules, and his senior years, so “high-maintenance” pets don’t scare me. I tend to love them even harder. These days I’m supervised by Edwin, my mini Aussie rescue, who has strong opinions about other dogs, delivery trucks, and apparently several completely innocent squirrels. Living with him has made me very comfortable with boundaries, reactivity, slow introductions, and the fact that not every dog wants to be everybody’s friend. I’m also the person who genuinely wants the six-paragraph document explaining exactly how your dog likes breakfast. Give me the quirks, the routines, the medications, the weird little rules, the favorite toy, the thing they absolutely will not do unless you ask them in a very specific way. I want to know all of it. Basically: I take your pet seriously without taking myself too seriously. And yes, I will probably send you too many pictures. My schedule is pretty flexible, which means I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. Walks, meals, potty breaks, meds, couch hangs; tell me what they’re used to and I’ll do my best to keep things consistent. Tell me everything. What’s their routine? What makes them nervous? Are they an escape artist? A sock eater? Do they lose their mind when a skateboard goes by? How are they on leash? I’m big on respecting a pet’s boundaries and keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I’d much rather know about a quirk or trigger ahead of time than be surprised by it later.

“Zoe is amazing and always takes such good care of Moe and I can tell she genuinely cares about her. I love getting the written updates too! They’re so great. Lol”

“Jen was amazing with my senior Maltipoo. Super communicative and flexible with scheduling.”

Jam M.

“I was in a bind and had to book last minute, and Olivia saved the day! She was so responsive and punctual each day, and she was so great with my dog (who is only 8 mo and can be a little crazy). Will certainly rebook with Olivia in the future. Thank you!”

“Kody was excellent watching our dog and cat several times recently. He is on time and dependable. Our dog is old and he took the time to care for him - and had no problem giving him meds. Thank you Kody! We’ll definitely use him again.”

Larissa C.

“Sofia is great! Miso is a shy guy but he comes out to say hi to Sofia when she visits. She is super communicative and sends great updates. Miso is a troublemaker and sometimes messes with his feeder and Sofia is great about clean up and straightening things!”

Isis M.

“Sierra did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. We got lots of pictures of him playing and getting treats and pets. I will definitely be booking with Sierra again!”

“She was fantastic and very in touch on any question that I had. She updated with amazing pictures that made me feel like our dogs were in good hands. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using her again.”

“I felt very relaxed and comfortable with Blanca taking care of my cat while I was away. She provided a warm , happy experience for my little man. I will definitely use her again! Thank you Blanca and Maya!❤️”

Candace C.

“Arantxa is so sweet, reliable, caring, and engaging! From her updates and interactions with my dog and cat I can tell that she genuinely cares about animals and treats my pets as if they were her own. my dog just absolutely adores her and my cat never comes out for anyone- but Arantxa made the cut 🥰 She is the best. I’ll definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you for all that you do for my fur babies Aranxta 🩷”

Caitlin C.

“Addison went above and beyond with my kitty. I so appreciate all the pictures she sent and how easy she was to communicate with! Would highly recommend.”

Reagan O.

“Bleu was wonderful! She responded quickly and gave my girl so much love and attention. She made sure Honey was comfortable and happy. I would absolutely book with Bleu again!”

Taylor M.

“We had a great experience entrusting Nina with our pets! She was great with our older cat and dog and based on the photos we received from her, they seemed to be big fans as well. She was helpful with dispensing medication and brought in a couple of packages for us, too. We absolutely plan to rebook with Nina!”

Becca M.

“Ashley E. Made our weekend away possible for us. She took care of my babies as her own and nothing but gratitude for the visits. Will book again.”

Holly H.

“I found Christopher on Rover at the last minute to help with 3 visits. One of our dogs is a rescue that we’ve had less than a week; he’s being crated and I was unable to get away from work. Christopher came to my house after I messaged him and met everyone. He was kind and competent and I knew the dogs would be in good hands. He did a great job—he was on time for his visits, and sent me pictures and messages. It was such a relief to me to know that my dogs were well-cared for. I will use him again for sure!!!”
