House Sitting in San Anselmo

“This past week Etna was scheduled to house sit for 4 days for Kody, our 4 yr old, 125 lb. Bernese Mountain dog. Just befor she was supposed to arrive, she injured herself at her home. It delayed her arrival and care plan. Etna was a true professional in contacting us immediately at the airport to work with us in organizing a care plan. She managed to get a friend to help her care for Kody while she got medical care. She is the professional pet care professional that we all hope for to care for our beloved pets. She even asked me where my cleaning supplies were, so she could clean up after herself and Kody before she left! I am very pleased with my first experience with Etna! Kody was healthy and happy all the long week! And she sent us lots of pictures of him!”

“Dina Harvey was our babysitter for many years as our fourth baby arrived and we needed help! We also had 2 dogs. Dina was amazing with the kids as well as the pups. She's responsible, caring and truly was like a special auntie to our kids and all their friends She always made time for the pups too. Now as our kids are all grown - we are still friends with her. She's very caring towards all people and pets alike. I would trust her completely to house/dog/cat sit.”

“Kim was fantastic and agreed to accommodate me on short notice which I would never expect from anyone. She followed all instructions to an absolute T and always offered to do more if needed. She has great pet care instincts and took great quality care of my boy while he was wearing a cone.”

“He is extremely careful, gentle and caring when it comes to his own pets. I have known him since elementary school and has always been the most responsible and respectful friend. He would be a great sitter or dog walker for any family.”

“Lydia is wonderful. We hate leaving our furry babies but we always feel good about leaving them with her. She was a real trooper this last visit and dealt with a rain-averse dog during a rainy week and a cat who doesn't always keep everything inside the litter box. She went above and beyond to clean the house and change the linens for us before our return. Would highly recommend her to any pet parent.”

“Sam has taken care of my dog and cat for an extended period of time. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates with photos of them having fun. She took my dog on daily walks and gave my cat lots of love. I would recommend her for any petting sitting to others and would hire her again.”

“Giacomo cared for my dog when I had an unexpected trip come up, he was able to help out on a short notice which was amazing. He took my dog on long walks and even sent me some photo updates of her . When I got home I think she was actually upset he wasn’t there anymore! Will definitely be using him again, 10/10 recommend!”

“Leonard is the best! Leonard recently watched our dogs for the second time while we were away for 10 days. He is wonderful at communicating with daily updates and photos. My dogs love him! Thanks to Leonard we are able to relax and enjoy our vacations now - knowing our dogs are in the best hands!”

About: I’ve been a trusted house and pet sitter for over 15 years and I love to provide the best care. I’m passionate about animals and want to make sure owners know they have left thier animals in the hands of someone who can be relied on to provide the same level of love care as they would. I’ll be able to be flexible in schedule most days and strive to always update my calendar to reflect my exact availability. I’m available for pet walking, house / pet sitting. I can currently care for your pets in your home! I am happy to take suggestions on which routes your pets like to walk and any other instructions in order to provide the best care for them.

“Pat came through for us in a pinch and was a fantastic housesitter! Pancake loved her and she stepped in to help with a couple non-dog related issues as well. Thanks so much Pat!”

“You won't find a more responsible dog walker, sitter and all around loving caregiver than Olivia. She is a true animal lover, respectful and understands the needs of pets (and their owners) alike. She has been walking for me for about 2 years, is a real pleasure to work with and is even able to handle a couple of my energetic male Pit Bulls, no problem. They love her and she has brought many new advantages and suggestions to the table. She makes it easy, keeps things safe and is a great asset to any household with pets.”

“Tanny did a great job watching our two pups and was a very respectful guest in our home while we were out on vacation. We came home to two happy dogs and a freshly vacuumed home which is more than we could have hoped for.”

“Carla watched our puppy Dylan for 7 nights in our home after we found out at the last minute that Dylan was unable to fly for the Thanksgiving holiday. She was very communicative, and checked in regularly with both updates and pictures. Dylan has a great time exploring new parks and Carla helped alleviate my fears of leaving our puppy for so long. Would 10/10 recommend Carla & Dylan agrees!”

“Nikki was a perfect fit for us when I had a trip come up for the Thanksgiving holiday. She tended to my 2 Maltese Shih-Tzu dogs and snuggled them, played with them and took them for walks like they were her own. She instilled confidence in me when she came to visit for the meet and greet knowing exactly what to make sure of so my pups would be happy and comfortable while I was gone. I got regular updates and photos and she was very responsive any time I reached out to check in. I would hire her again in a heart beat. When I returned, my home was just as I left it and my pups were relaxed and happy.”

“Amber is an animal lover! She especially loves to play and care for dogs. She has experience caring for dogs since she was a child. Grooming, feeding and walking them are second nature to her. I think her favorite thing though is to just hangout and love any and all animals.”

“Ryley was outstanding in his communication and so accommodating to our ederly dog. Those characteristics helped allow us to relax on vacation.”

“Krystal is awesome! Came over prior to sitting for Bentley to check things out. Bentley had a great time with Krystal. Such a nice young woman. Definitely will ask Krystal to watch Bentley again!”

“Jacey took such great care of my two kitties while I was away! She was great at communicating, sending updates, and keeping them happy while I was gone!”

“Hailey was great- came to meet with us ahead of time, we came home to a clean house and happy dog : )”
