House Sitting in Kilkare Woods

“Natalie was so great!! She was very kind and flexible and even left the house clean. She sent me lots of updates of the dogs and followed all the instructions. This was my first time having someone I don’t know watch my dogs and she was fantastic!”

“Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!”

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by cows, goats, chickens, cats, and dogs. This evoked in me a deep passion for animals, but especially dogs. My current occupation is nannying and I have been doing so for 10 years. I have also worked as a petsitter when the occasion arises. I love both of these jobs and this is the reason for deciding to sign up for this app. The way that I would describe myself is: responsible, caring, calm, sensitive, trustworthy, and reliable. I can easily create a connection with children and dogs alike, which makes them more comfortable spending their time with me. I feel comfortable sitting dogs of all sizes. I will genuinely love your pet and will always make sure to respond to his/her needs. Thank you for reading! Caring for pets is something I naturally build into my day. I make time for regular walks, feeding, play, and attention, and I enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, play, and rest. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, making sure they’re comfortable and safe at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and follow all instructions carefully. I also communicate consistently with updates, photos, and any important observations.

“Tom took great care of our dog and house while we were out of town. He is very responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely consider booking him again.”

About: I have 4 years of hands-on experience fostering dogs across a wide range of ages, from very young puppies to senior dogs, and I’ve cared for many different personalities, temperaments, and needs. Through fostering, I’ve worked with playful, high-energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs who need extra patience, and older dogs who need a gentler pace and more attentive care. That experience has taught me how important it is to meet each dog where they are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m currently completing my master’s program at Johns Hopkins online while also applying to medical school, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule. Because my program is remote, I’m able to plan my time well and make pet care a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I’m reliable, organized, and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, and I know how important consistency and patience are, especially when pets are in a new environment or away from their owners. With my fostering background, I’m very used to adapting to different ages, temperaments, and needs, and I always prioritize safety, trust, and calm, dependable care.

About: I’ve learned that the secret to a happy pup is listening to what they are trying to tell us. That’s why I adapt my sitting style to your dog's mood and personality. Dogs experience the world through their noses. If you're dog is an explorer; I am happy to accommodate their need for a slower, sniff-heavy walk. If your dog struggles with anxiety and is hesitant to even step outside the door, don't worry. I encourage them gently and treat them with the same love and respect that you do! I am available any weekend and look forward to spend spending time with your pets. Please reach out to me for availability, I’m really flexible. I set reminders for important tasks so that I can keep your pet on their schedule. I monitor any changes in their behavior, so that I know when something is wrong.

“Kristi was great with my two kitties who came to love her the two weeks she was here. I received daily photos and updates and saw that my boys were happy and loved. My flight home from Portugal was cancelled twice and Kristi was able to save the day by staying with the boys for two additional nights, so I had one less thing to worry about. I came home to a clean home and happy kitties. Thank you Kristi!”

About: I've trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life. I've also volunteered extensively for shelters, walking and fostering all kinds of dogs. I'm also trained my own horses, giving me a strong sense of how to communicate with animals. I work from home on my own flexible schedule. As a result, i can accommodate your and your pets' schedules on weekdays as well as weekends. I can provide whatever your pet needs: walks as needed, playtime, comforting if he or she is anxious, and of course feeding and watering on their schedule.

“Jennifer is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about animals. She is also very responsible and communicative. She sends regular updates with photos and videos throughout the day, so we feel connected even when we’re away. The house is always spotless when we return — she keeps everything very clean and tidy, way beyond what we expect. She’s reliable, professional, and truly a joy to work with. If you’re looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who treats your home and pets like her own, look no further. Jennifer is the best! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have been around various dog and cat breeds my entire life. I am very active comfortable around animals and look forward to meeting your pet! I love animals and especially cats and dogs! I have been around pit bulls, labs, golden doodles, and everything in between! I have lots of patience to work with any animal. I live in a very dog and animal friendly neighborhood and have a completely fenced backyard. Also live near many dog parks and areas for them to run.

“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”

“Devin cat and house sat for us for two weeks while we were out of town. Our cat is a pandemic cat so is accustomed to frequent attention and it seems she definitely got that while we were away - possible more than when we’re home! Devin sent regular photos and updates and Misty always appeared very content. The house was left tidy and Devin helped with extra tasks such as bringing in the mail and putting out the trash for collection.”

Judit K.

“Amadita was AMAZING with our Bouzy! Incredibly accommodating and playful with her while we were away. It’s great to have a reliable sitter - will definitely book with Amadita again 😊😊”

“Garret followed the instructions for our 3 very particular cats to the letter. In fact, he bonded so well with them that they seem to prefer him to us now. He texted us photos periodically to show how well they were doing. He’s conscientious and caring, and he clearly enjoys interacting with our cats.”

Marie M.

“Great communicator, kept great care of my duo and kept me well informed. Kept to their walking schedule and provided much love, attention and cuddles for my babies! Love working with Lauren!”

Cristina T.

“So great! We were able to relax while we were away knowing the dogs were being taken care of! We also really appreciated Sarah’s updates and patience with our younger pup who can be a handful.”

Brianna N.

“Bryanna was great! Ready to jump in and help in anyway possible. Took a last minute booking that REALLY helped us. Bryanna was more than happy to go over details with us before the sitting. All the questions Bryanna asked us about our dog and his needs made it apparent that our dog would be cared for while we were gone. We came back to a happy, tired, and well-cared for dog! Would absolutely book again 😊”

“Grace did a fantastic job! She sent many pictures of the pets, and we were very comfortable and relaxed while she was watching the pets. Grace kept in contact with me frequently, with any questions or concerns. The pets were very happy in the videos that she shared. We will definitely use her again.”

“Cecelia was amazing. Our dog just got neutered and Cecelia took really good care of him. Leo had a really good time with her.”
