Pet Sitting in Hyde Park

About: Volunteer with Guiding Eyes for socialization of 2month old puppies in my home in the past. Have 30 yrs + experience with my own rescue dogs. Now down to 1 senior dog who cannot walk long distances. Looking for new walking buddies! Retired and looking for new opportunities mostly during the week. Have volunteer work also, so prefer morning walks at this time; can come to you or you can drop off. I believe dogs thrive on exercise and daily walks; also great time to continue training and encourage obedience. Most dogs love to work out and be with their humans outside.

“Dan did a great job with our dogs…he was on time and posted update pictures each visit. I would strongly recommend Dan if you need a dog sitter!!”

“Volha was fantastic - she took great care of my cats while I was away and sent me daily updates with photos, leaving me totally relaxed :)”

Molly S.

“Donna took great care of my kitties! She kept me updated while I was away, especially relieving my concerns that my littlest one wouldn’t eat. She was prompt and made sure they got their treats - thanks Donna!”

Cynthia M.

“Aliza is a warm and friendly sitter who was able to look after our two kitties on relatively short notice. She had some great ideas for how to handle feeding time based on their personalities and food-related behavior. She was also easy to work with. Will hire again!”

“Amruta is amazing! From the meet and greet I knew she would be a good fit for us. Tux was drawn to her immediately and is always so excited when she walks through the door. I have a very specific feeding routine for tux and amruta is diligent about following it. I am so happy to have found Amruta because I am now at ease when I go to work, knowing she dropping in to care for Tux. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“This was Amanda's first drop-in visit and it went well. I appreciate that Amanda was gentle with Evie to accommodate her shyness and slight limp.”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with dogs, cats, fish, and even rabbits. Friends and family have always trusted me to help with their pets, and I treat every animal like part of the family. I’d love to do the same for yours. I am currently a full time online college student and work at the elementary school during lunch/recess. My schedule is very flexible, so I can work with you to care for your fur babies when they need it most. While caring for your pet, I will be able to confidently keep them happy, safe and healthy. I feel comfortable with giving medications, light grooming, feeding, walking, playing, and maintaining any training you are doing. I am happy to scoop litter boxes and pick up dog poops in the yard too! Whatever keeps the routine predictable for you and your pet.

About: I really love being around animals as they bring a lot of joy. Over the years I have pet sat for various family friends, co-workers, colleagues, and friends of friends pets. While pet sitting not only have I been responsible to feed the pets, give them water, let them out to relieve themselves, clean up after the pets, and take them out for a walk but I also have looked after the house. Additionally, I have been working for a company so couples beloved dogs can attend their weddings. Previously, I have volunteered by fostering dogs and dog walking. I am available most weekends and off most holidays. I do work full time so if it is anything during the week I do not get home until after 5 pm. Anything during the week I need to know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. I would care for your pets as one of my own. I am flexible and come to your pets home so they are comfortable in their own environment.

“Excellent!”

“Angellina did a great job caring for our pets. We felt comfortable knowing she was there and will definitely be using her in the future. She had great communication with us throughout her drop ins and was respectful of our home. We are very grateful for her!”

Michelle C.

“Elizabeth was beyond attentive, helpful, and caring towards my cats. I could not possible recommend hiring her more. I’m so appreciative of all she did to make my cats comfortable while I was away.”

Sarah B.

“Samantha was attentive to our cat’s needs and was incredibly reliable! We got snowed in our trip away, and Samantha was able to add extra visits to come take care of our cat while we were trapped in the snow. I highly recommend Samantha, and will likely contact her again the next time we need a pet sitter!”

About: Hello , we are Ashlee and Shane and we have a fully wrapped around fence of our entire home. I also have a smaller fenced in yard if dogs need to be separate . Me and my husband have owned dogs our entire lives since childhood. Right now we have a female German shorthaired pointer puppy and I’m training her to be a therapy dog. Dogs are like little humans and we treat them like one of our own. They will have endless hours of exercise along with love and affection. We do have children so they must be good around kids. You will get pictures of your dog to ease your mind that they are safe and having fun. Hope to hear from you soon and can't wait to meet your furry friend. I have a German shorthaired pointer puppy that loves to play. I’m home full time and run a doggy daycare 4 sometimes 5 days a week. When requesting recurring daycare days, being flexible is important. I typically let my clients know the Friday before what my days open are for that week. On weekends daycare is closed but I still am available for dog boardings. Based off school activities, events and doctor appointments there may be times I step out as I have 3 children. I am outside with them at all times keeping them safe. No tolerance for aggressive dogs around dogs or children including food,gate or toy aggression . most of my families rescue which is a beautiful thing but please keep in mind that before boarding here you must know your rescues temperament very well around dogs, new environments and people especially children as my home can not be a test for that. To ensure your dog is suitable fit for my environment I assess your dog during a meet n greet and sometimes request you to leave for an hour or longer if further assessment is needed. It’s my job to make sure this is a safe place for all my fur friends here. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

About: I grew up around dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve helped take care of my friends’ dogs, including Pip, whom I’ve watched since he was a puppy, and Martha, a more senior dog. I’ve handled walking, feeding, playtime, and just generally making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m very responsible and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. It means a lot to me to be given the opportunity to care for your furry friend. : ) I actually just graduated from university, but I can be flexible with my schedule depending on what you and your doggie needs. If there’s a particular time that you’re looking for, feel free to let me know and we can work something out! I live in a single on campus, with a decently sized room for any small or medium sized doggies, and there is a fenced in track behind my building/apartment if they wanna just run around with me for a while.

About: Growing up, I took care of my household pets which turned my passion into a life long career as a licensed veterinary technician. I am skilled and experienced in all animal health and well-being and happy to walk, feed and care for all of your pets needs. My days are filled with caring for my own pets, my new son, and currently working full time at a local animal hospital. I am available most afternoons after 3pm. Earning your pets trust is my top priority. If you have a nervous pet, I will take as much time as needed to make sure they are comfortable. With my experience as a technician I can ensure your pets safety is my top priority. Walks will be double leashed, extreme weather conditions will be treated accordingly.

“Kayla is the best! She’s wonderful with our gang, and especially our dog, and her communication skills are top-notch. We know our kiddoes are in great hands when Kayla comes to visit 😉!”

About: I currently work as a physical therapist full time and started dog sitting while going to college in 2011 for a Great Dane named Maxx, from there I acquired many dog and cat sitting jobs through word of mouth and for friends and their family members. I have experience working with small dogs and bigger dogs. I love dogs and cats, I grew up having cats and had one dog. I will go the extra mile to give your pets all the love and attention they need. I take pride in making sure they feel at home while you’re gone. I’m currently working full time but have a very flexible schedule and a long lunch break so I’m able to be flexible with your pets schedule. I keep all my clients close to my work facility. I care for pets in your home. I love walking dogs and playing with them in their yard if they have one. I’m unable to care for pets in my home at this time.
