Pet Care fits naturally into my routine! Since I'm home for the summer from college and have a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to do drop-ins, pet care, pet sitting, walk, and overnight stays. I enjoy making time to care for other people's pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow a list if one is provided and I'll always make sure to stick closely to the pets' routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. In a client'a home, I'm respectful of the space and always clean up after myself and the pet. I make sure doors and gates are secure, check water and food bowls regulary, and give pets the attention they need. If I ever notice something out of the ordinary, I'll reach out right away. My priority is making sure both pets and their owners feel safe and respected at all times.

Information Molly H. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know your pet's routine, personality, and medical needs, and how they usually react to new people or other animals. I also like to know what comforts them and what to avoid. The more I know, the better I can care for them :)

A typical day

A typical say includes lots of love, playtime, and sticking to each pet's routine. I'll go on walks, play with toys, give belly rubs (if they're okay with that), and make sure they get plenty of attention and care!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Molly :) I’ve been pet sitting for a few years and have experience with all kinds of dogs from energetic pups to sweet seniors. I’m calm, consistent, and always follow care instructions closely. I send updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. I’ve also worked at the SF Zoo and volunteered at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center, so I know how to handle animals gently and respectfully. Whether your dog needs playtime, patience, or just company, I’m happy to help!

Molly cared for my German Shepherd named Tulip while I was in between jobs and handling the stress from moving from one company to another. I have never seen him so happy while under anyone’s care. Molly was very attentive and any unusual behaviors she would immediately check in with me about, to make sure Tulip was okay. Could be my imagination and how grateful I am for Molly during that tough time, but I noticed Tulip had more energy and was all around healthier due to her care and attention. I truly recommend Molly Householder as a great pet sitter for dogs, cats or anything else in between. She took information and held it well, and if she was unsure about anything, she always double checked and had wonderful communication. Tulip and I will continue to choose Molly for as long as she is willing!

Molly cared for my cat and my baby bunny for 3 days, and she did an amazing job. She was great at communicating their status every day. Both animals are not super comfortable with people, but by the end they both loved her. I highly recommend Molly as your pet sitter!
