House Sitting Acorn-Acorn Industrial

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since my teenage years. In the last decade, I have been the go to person in my community to dog sit and walk dogs due to my flexible performer and chef schedule, and in the last couple of years, I have also supported some of my loved ones senior dogs who have since transitioned. It is an honor to care for our furry loved ones, and I look forward to meetings your bundles of joy and taking them for neighborhood walks and to dog parks if they like those! I currently work part time so I am flexible during the day for drop ins and dog park visits. Happy to create a schedule that works with your needs. I am happy to support any dogs who experience separation anxiety by spending extended time together in the home, on hikes, or on walks. As a chef, if you are looking for support with preparing food for senior dogs or dogs in recovery, I would also be happy to support you there as well.

“Linett was very communicative and professional from the very beginning. My dog, Goose, has a little bit of separation anxiety and from the 1st meet and greet I could tell he felt comfortable with her. During the booking, she kept Goose company for a few hours while I was out, took him to play and was flexible with her time. She provided updates and pictures of Goose during her stay with him which put me at ease. Will definitely book with Linett again!”

“We can’t thank Michelle enough for the incredible care she provided to Hampton during our 12 day trip. This was our first extended vacation since Hampton was recently diagnosed with chf, and leaving him was understandably stressful. From our very first meet and greet, Michelle immediately put us at ease with her kindness, confidence, and genuine love for animals. Hampton now requires medication six times a day, and Michelle never hesitated to take on his complex care routine. She made sure he stayed on schedule, kept us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, and treated him like he was her own. Knowing he was in such capable and compassionate hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and a spotless home. Michelle exceeded every expectation, and we would not hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond, Michelle is the one. Thank you again for everything! We are so grateful.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a dog of my own and understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. When I moved my dad to California so I could become his full-time caregiver, bringing his dog with us was never a question. He’s an important part of our family and daily life. I previously had another beloved dog from the age of 13 through 27, giving me experience with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I’m comfortable providing patient, attentive care and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I currently care for my own dog, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he gets plenty of attention are already built into my schedule. Because I have a flexible schedule right now, I’m able to provide pets with extra attention, companionship, and care throughout the day rather than just fitting them in between other commitments. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or keeping a pet company while their owner is away, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household rules. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while their owners are away. For walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet’s individual needs are met. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and help them feel secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“Matthew was able to watch Charlie last minute and was great to work with. Matthew kept me updated, sent pictures, and Charlie seemed very happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!”

About: Hello! My name is Shanna (like banana) a non-profit consultant based in the Bay Area. I love animals and have lots of experience caring for pets (cats and dogs) either in your home or at my house. I'm interested in helping you feel peace of mind knowing that your fur friend is taken care of. Please ask me any questions. I'm looking for opportunities that make sense with my schedule, and I'm happy to accommodate your needs. Thank you for your consideration. I'm currently working on a contract basis and primarily remote so I have time to stop by your home or house-sit as long as there is reliable Wi-Fi. Typically, when pet-sitting for friends, I will feed, walk, or change out litter boxes as often as needed. If I am not staying at the owner's home full-time, I will make sure the animal gets sufficient interaction and love daily. If an animal is staying in my home during the day, I have a fenced-in, locked yard (though I generally wouldn't have an animal outside without me) and there is also a dog-friendly park less than two blocks from my home.

About: i’ve cared for pets since i was young! what u like most is to have fun and make sure the animals feel happy and cared for! i love teaching new skills to pets that dont have training aswell! i’m working on gathering loyal customers to help me make this full time, i enjoy fresh air walks just as much as them. turning this into a full time job for me is amazing because it allows me to have a clear free mind, and will make my days go by easier i am very aware of everything that’s happening around me. its helps me stay conscious of what the pets are doing. in home care is fun because the pet is already in a space they know and are comfortable with and i try and make it know to them that im here to help them through our time together.

“Jordan was so gentle and sweet with our anxious Buster and made sure he got his pills, dinner, and backyard time while we were out. We also loved the incredible drawing Jordan made of Buster—so thoughtful! 💗”

“Shareese was amazing with our dog, Goose! Goose is a very anxious and reserved dog around new people but he warmed up to her really fast. Shareese was patient and responsible and left us at ease! will continue to book with Shareese every chance we can!”

“Words can never express my gratitude for Trina! After going on a camping trip and unexpectedly being out of range of cell service I had great comfort in knowing my fur child was with her. She went above and beyond to care and help manage while life took sits twists and turns. Highly recommend”

About: I have my doctorate in clinical psychology and love animals. I am not allowed to have my own pet so I love to pet sit! I am currently transitioning from internship to post doc and have a lot of time on my hands. Flexible in scheduling and happy to help when needed! I always make sure to follow the instructions left by the owner & give lots and lots of care and love to the pet I am sitting!

About: I love dogs so much and I know that may sound generic but dogs are so pure and lovable. My love of dogs started with a dog sitting gig that sparked this love and lead me to be a pup parent to Colonel Peanut who passed in 2020. He was a three legged trip that was my ride pr die for 8 years. Since his passing I have leaned into dog walking and dog sitting for others while the grief moves in waves. Point Isabel is one of my favorite places if your pup is an off leasher! Otherwise I love neighborhood walks where we can explore and smell and admire the flowers and discover birds of your area. I have experience with basic training, administering meds, and observing your pup to see what they are telling me they need. I work from home and can be somewhat of a house cat myself if I'm not out for walks with pepperonis. I have a very flexible schedule to fit your pet's needs. I can accommodate last minute booking so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I know what it’s like to be a pet parent so I will treat your pet and home as my own. I will make sure to check all the boxes like refilling water, feedings, sharing snacks and giving medications, or cleaning/refreshing the litter box for kitties.

“Tami was the absolute best! She sent me lots of pictures and updates on Maggie while I was on vacation and made sure she got plenty of walks and pets and cuddles! I could not recommend Tami enough.”

“Christina saved the day with a last-minute change in request for dog sitting - she went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day before and to ensure that she had all the information needed to give Odelia the best care. So grateful!”

“Mish was great with my cat Dilly for a two week house sit! This was the first time I’ve left him for longer than a weekend, and I knew he’d be in good hands after meeting. They sent lots of photos and updates, and my apartment was well taken care of, too. Thanks again!”

Kerry B.

“Devyn was great! She was communicative and made sure we knew exactly was going on. Our boy, Moose, is shy but she was patient and loving with him even though he was standoffish. We will use her services again!”

“I’ve had Barbara house sit with my animals two times now, and she has been communicative and helpful each time. I was running around before my trip and I forgot to leave her instructions in my home, but she was super understanding and helpful when I reached out with notes on medication and food. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Issel was so nice to help on extremely short notice as i was in the hospital as an emergency and came to a mess of chaos from the friends that were helping out as well and couldnt any longer. She cleaned up and took great care of my pups and i appreciated her communications and even suggestions to help with new pup. She is wonderful young woman and really came through for me!”

Wendy L.

“Lily was absolutely incredible! She kept us very well updated on Kuma, sent us cute pictures of her, and took her on great walks/adventures. Based on the pictures, I can tell that Kuma was extremely happy and comfortable with Lily. Was also incredibly helpful with logistics of bringing in packages (accidentally had a lot delivered in the days she was here), she cleaned/vacuumed the place, and also did the sheets before leaving, and much more. Super grateful and happy and will definitely be re-booking!”
