I want to write an advertisement in French offering my services. Thank you for your help.

Service de gardiennage (maison/animaux de compagnie)
Explanation:
I had to look up that term last week for a translation. You could use "dog sitting" but I'm not sure it's well known in French. "Service de garde pour maison et animaux de compagnie" is good too, hope that helped!
