House Sitting Old Hilltown

“Alicia did a **fantastic job** watching Elkie while I was away for three weeks! She truly went above and beyond to make sure both Elkie and I were happy and comfortable. One thing I especially appreciated was how wonderful she was about communicating with me, especially with the time difference while I was traveling. She sent me **numerous pictures and updates**, and it was so reassuring to see how happy, relaxed, and well cared for Elkie was. Alicia even went the extra mile while she was busy and introduced Elkie to her parents’ dogs. They got along really well, which was so sweet to see! 🐾❤️ She was also so thoughtful about making sure **I was having a good time and not worrying about Elkie**, reminding me that she was in good hands. That meant so much to me and allowed me to truly enjoy my trip without worrying. I would **highly recommend Alicia** to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and caring sitter. I would absolutely have her watch Elkie again. She was wonderful, and **Elkie is truly going to miss her!** ❤️🐶”

About: Experienced with crate-trained and potty-pad-trained pets, feeding schedules, and adaptable walking paces. Patient, reliable, and committed to treating your pets with the same structured care, safety, and affection I give my own. I am an active dog owner who walks daily and understands how important it is to keep your animals on a comfortable, familiar routine while you are away. As a Navy veteran and empty nester, I bring dependability, structure, and genuine warmth to caring for your pets. My daily rhythm naturally aligns with a pet's needs—upbeat and high-energy for morning walks and playtime, and calm and grounding as the day winds down. I'm comfortable with kennels, fenced areas, open areas, and on-leash in public. I will follow your routine and add in playtime and rubs.

“Molly was fantastic!! She took great care of our little girl and sent pictures every day, some even using AI for a Fall theme! Very impressed!! Thank you Molly!!”

“Harrah did a great job watching our nervous pups! She sent lots of photos and videos every day so I could see how they were doing. She gained their trust and she cared for the dogs very well. They are healthy and happy to see us. We would be happy to hire her again in the future. The photos, videos and daily communication was very helpful for my own anxiety about leaving the dogs with someone new. Thank you so much Harrah!”

About: I bring more than 31 years of hands-on experience caring for, rehabilitating, and living with dogs, including rescues with trauma, anxiety, digestive issues, behavioral challenges, and special needs. I hold a Master's degree in Applied Behavioral Science and have training in dog-assisted therapy, providing a deep understanding of both human and canine behavior, communication, trust-building, and emotional well-being. Every dog receives individualized attention tailored to their personality, routine, and unique needs. Through positive reinforcement, consistency, and thoughtful observation, I help dogs feel secure, relaxed, and supported. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, shy, highly social, recovering from a difficult past, or simply accustomed to a specific routine, I adapt my approach to ensure they remain comfortable and confident. I also have experience with high-energy breeds, blind dogs and dogs requiring specialized diets or care plans. As a 5-mile daily hiker, I can provide long walks, multiple daily outings, and hikes of up to two hours. Clear communication is a priority. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you know your pet is happy, safe, and receiving exceptional attention. I can also coordinate with veterinarians, groomers, and household service providers when needed, helping ensure continuity of care and smooth household operations. I bring 34 years of homeownership experience and eight years of remodeling experience, including the complete renovation of my lake house. This background has developed a strong awareness of home maintenance, safety, proactive problem-solving, and responsible property stewardship. As a volunteer member of a Fire Department Critical Response Team and Workforce Team, I am trained to recognize potential concerns early and respond appropriately. My attention to detail, reliability, and preventative mindset help safeguard your pets and property. I lead a quiet, responsible lifestyle and spend much of my time at home, allowing me to provide a consistent presence, attentive pet care, and regular property monitoring. Services Include: • Daily and overnight presence • Security and property checks • Mail and package collection • Plant care • Garbage and recycling management • Oversight and coordination of household and pet-care needs • Communication and coordination with service providers when needed • Monitoring of home systems and potential maintenance concerns • Careful stewardship of your home I specialize in extended house-sitting and pet-care assignments, accepting bookings of 30 to 130 days during the winter season. Clients choose me for my advanced behavioral expertise, decades of rescue and rehabilitation experience, exceptional communication, attentive home stewardship, and concierge-level service. Whether caring for a cherished companion, coordinating household needs, or maintaining a watchful presence over your property, my goal is to provide complete peace of mind, knowing both your pets and your home are in capable, caring hands. My day begins with a loving good-morning rub followed by a potty break, feeding, and exercise. Throughout the day, I incorporate walks, play, enrichment activities, affection, and regular outdoor breaks while maintaining your pet's normal routine. I enjoy ending each day with the attention most dogs love, whether that's a belly rub, cuddle time, or simply quiet companionship. I closely monitor behavior, energy levels, appetite, mobility, and daily habits so I can quickly recognize changes and respond appropriately. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of your pet while maintaining a dependable, consistent presence. On a daily basis I maintain the cleanliness of pet-related areas, including food and water stations, entryways, and frequently used spaces. When a home has a pet door, I ensure the yard remains clean through daily waste removal. My goal is to provide an enriching environment where your pet feels secure, comfortable, and loved throughout your stay away from home. I provide a reliable daily and overnight presence, along with regular property walk-throughs. During severe weather, I perform additional inspections to identify potential concerns early and take appropriate preventative measures when possible. I maintain a calm, quiet environment that allows me to remain highly attuned to both your pet's well-being and any household conditions that may require attention. I am equally attentive to conditions on and around the property that could affect your home's safety and security. For example, during a recent house sit, I proactively cleared leaves and debris from nearby storm drains before heavy rain to help reduce the risk of localized flooding. Years of property stewardship have strengthened my ability to recognize developing issues and address them before they become larger concerns. Clients frequently share that they experience a genuine sense of peace and ease while away, knowing their pets and home are being cared for with exceptional attention, responsibility, and respect. They appreciate the strong bonds I develop with their pets and the clean, thoughtfully cared for home they come back to. Upon request, I can stock a reasonable number of essential grocery items prior to your return, helping ensure a comfortable and seamless homecoming.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one! My mom has been fostering dogs ( Shamrock Pet Foundation in Louisville) since I was a baby, so I literally grew up surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From shy rescues to energetic puppies, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for them all. Being around dogs just comes naturally to me — they’ve always been part of my family and my everyday life. I’m confident and comfortable making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I always tailor care to their unique needs and personality. As a student at NPS with a flexible schedule, I have lots of time to dedicate to dog walking or pet sitting — and I’d love to spend it with your pup! Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and relaxed. In your home, I always respect your space and routines. I follow your care instructions closely — from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and preferred walking routes — to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable, whether they’re playful or more laid-back. I make sure the space is pet-proofed and that they always have access to water, cozy spots to rest, and supervised outdoor time in the dog park or in the fenced backyard. I also believe in building trust — both with your pet and with you. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing!

About: Hi, I’m Alex! What sets me apart is my depth of experience and attentiveness. I cared for my own senior dog for many years, which gave me a deep understanding of gentle routines, mobility needs, medication awareness, and emotional comfort and connection. I’ve cared for other pets such as birds and reptiles, which sharpened my ability to notice subtle behavioral and health changes. In addition, I’ve spent years observing professional pet-sitting practices and routines, giving me a strong sense of what high-quality, reliable care truly looks like. I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and respect to every pet and home I’m trusted with. Availability & Scheduling 🐾 I work full-time M-F, so I primarily offer morning and evening walks and drop-in visits during the week, with additional flexibility on weekends. I love helping pet parents maintain their pets’ routines, whether that’s a morning potty break, an after-work walk, or an evening check-in. Please message me with your pet’s schedule so we can find a time that works! Overnight care is available on a limited basis for suitable low-shedding/hypoallergenic dogs, with arrangements confirmed in advance. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routines, environment, and emotional comfort. I take a calm, observant approach—respecting each pet’s pace and preferences—while providing consistent care, companionship, and attentive support. My goal is always to create a low-stress, nurturing experience where pets feel secure, seen, and genuinely cared for. Every dog deserves loving, attentive care! I’m happy to welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for walks, drop-in visits, and other services that fit their needs. For overnight care, I specialize in hosting hypoallergenic and low-shedding breeds to help ensure a comfortable environment for both your pup and me.
