House Sitting In Almaden Valley

About: I’ve taken care of my own Siberian husky for 5 years and have also cared for other clients’ dogs for over 2 years. I’m comfortable with large or highly energetic dogs and understand the importance of patience and consistency. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week. Whenever you need me, I’ll be there! I currently do not offer pet boarding in my home, but I’m more than happy to visit clients’ homes for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight stays if needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while you’re away.

“Cali was so thorough with everything we asked her to do! All the photos that she sent us while we were gone was very much appreciated. And we knew that she was giving the dogs lots of love. It was so nice to come home to a clean house, and happy dogs!”

“My Kittens Sushi and Orion warmed up to Bri and were happy to have her company. She was great in being understanding of their personalities and routine as well as the logistics of their environment. Great communication and photos from her while I was on my trip. Would like to book her again. Thanks again Bri!”

About: Along with having 2 of my own, I've taken care of countless dogs for the past 7 years. From belly rubs to long walks, I am dedicated to making sure that your pet receives the quality care that they deserve. I understand that your pet is like your child, and my top priority is keeping them safe and loved while you're away. I am currently working part time, so I have a lot of time to spend with your pups! I am available weekdays before 2pm, and after 7pm. I am also available any time during the weekend. I will care for your dogs and keep them safe like they're my own. I can easily crate them if needed, and I have experience with specific feeding routines.

“Courtney was great! She is super friendly and inspired confidence right from the meet and greet. She took excellent care of our pups, and sent amazing pics throughout just a one night stay. It was so comforting to know that they looked happy and were having fun with her. She also took them on a walk each day so it was great to come home from our trip to happy but tired dogs. ;) Would 100% want Courtney to watch Sadie and Red again!”

“Hannah is just wonderful! She is reliable and provides such attentive care for my mini Goldendoodle! Raja enjoys all the walks, play time, and cuddles! We appreciate the regular updates on Raja throughout the day. I highly recommend Hannah!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years through family, friends, and neighbors, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all energy levels! I grew up with a hyper poodle-terrier mix, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs and active playtime. I also currently have a mellow, cuddly polydactyl Russian Blue cat, so I’m comfortable with both high-energy pets and calmer ones. As a law student, I take responsibility seriously and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and detail-oriented. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and giving pets extra patience and attention when needed. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout the stay. I’m currently waiting to start my summer job in June, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for overnight stays, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and care needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive during walks and always respectful of my client’s homes and instructions.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over seven years through the Wag! platform in addition to friends and family’s pups, and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. Over time, I’ve discovered that I truly excel with smaller, calmer, and more mellow dogs—and that’s where my focus is for Rover. I take a gentle, attentive approach to dog care, paying close attention to each dog’s comfort level, routine, and preferences. I’m especially mindful of dogs who thrive in quieter, low-stress environments and do best with patience and consistency. Whether it’s relaxed walks, cozy companionship, or simply maintaining their normal routine, my goal is always to create a safe, low-stress experience where dogs feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is my top priority. My schedule is flexible so I may step away for some dog walks, but I am mindful of my schedule and adjust taking additional walks accordingly. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I approach every pet with patience and respect, allowing them time to adjust and feel secure in a new environment or routine. In my home, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space that’s especially well-suited for smaller, mellow pets. I have a fully fenced yard, and all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety at all times. I’m mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards, and I create a quiet environment where pets can relax without unnecessary stress or overstimulation. I closely follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any specific care preferences shared by their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and attention as my own. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain consistency with the pet’s normal schedule, and ensure their environment remains safe, familiar, and comfortable. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or mood and communicate promptly with owners if anything seems out of the ordinary. Above all, I aim to build trust—both with pets and their people—by being reliable, observant, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s well-being.

“Becky was fantastic! She house sat for us last minute and took great care of our husky while we went camping for a week. She gave us frequent photo updates and let us know if she had questions about anything. She even washed her sheets before she left! We would definitely ask her to watch the dog and house for us again.”

“Highly Recommend! First time meeting Deborah and won't be the last! She stayed in our home with our 4 year old Golden Retriever for 2 nights and we could not be happier with the care and love she provided for our sweet Bowie. She was so attentive and sent beautiful photos throughout the weekend. She followed all directions and even took Bowie to Vasona Park one afternoon even though she probably has Bowies dog hair all over her car! She gave Bowie dog toys and took her out to our local field to see her friends. Our neighbors are all asking for Deborahs contact info. Deborah is also just a really nice person to talk to and we had complete trust in having her in our home.”

About: Hi, my name is Lee and I’m a recent architecture college graduate in the midst of transitioning between school and the work world. Growing up, I cared for many species of animals such as cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and butterflies. I currently live with an orange tabby named Rosie who’s 10 and a little spicy. I have cared for and pet sat cats and dogs of friends and family for several years. I helped my sibling foster 4 kittens. I walked dogs ages two to fourteen and from 12lbs to 80lbs. No matter the size, I enjoy carrying for fur babies, while making sure each animal is comfortable, safe, and happy. My schedule is quite flexible - from morning to evenings - only working around personal projects and care. Drop-in visits toward the end of the evening are doable. I am generally available on weekends. I appreciate owners who provide detailed information on routines and care, so I can provide best for their pet as to ensure comfort and consistency. I have cared for cats and dogs from 5lbs to 80lbs and from elderly to energetic. I enjoy taking dogs out for regular walks, whether it’s just to get them out of the house or to tire them out. Usually I walk one pup at a time, but I have walked two medium size dogs (40-50lbs each) from the same household together. Some of the dogs I have cared for have been unfazed by people or other pets, while others have been well trained but anxious or potentially reactive to others dogs, requiring a soft muzzle. On overnights and drop-ins, the dogs I have cared for have had various diets, including raw food, kibble, and fruits/vegetables (as treats). I’ve had pets that required separate meals, unique rituals around meals, or specific supplements/pill medications at meals. Some households have asked I crate their dogs at night, while others have pups that want to be in whichever room I sleep.

“Thank you so much for caring for Pliny. You went above and beyond. Thanks for walking her and playing with her, and helping her feel comfy while we were gone. And the special gift of framed pics was really sweet!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to calm seniors. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and can help with basic training like sit, paw, or stay. I’m patient, friendly, and love making every pup feel happy and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with dogs. I can fit walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, adjusting to your dog’s energy and needs so they always feel cared for. I make sure dogs are always safe and comfortable. In my home, they can access almost every space, so they feel free and relaxed. I also have a small balcony on the first floor where they can get some fresh air safely. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep a close eye on them to make sure they feel secure and cared for.

“Andrea is a gem. She is communicative, respectful, and left our home in excellent condition. My cats are everything to me and she took wonderful care of them while I was out of town for my birthday. She also left me a sweet card and note with an update. Will definitely book with her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog since I was in third grade. I have also watched other friends and family’s dogs. I’m a runner, so I am able to take dogs on runs, long walks, long play sessions, etc. I am currently on summer break so I have open availability. I have reliable transportation by car, so I can take dogs to parks, trails, etc. I am an attentive and responsible caretaker. I love to spend time getting to know the dog and learning what they like and dislike. I also like to have fun with the dog, or just chilling out with them.

“Natalie too great care of my dog, kept me updated, and sent a few pictures as well. Great experience.”

Jesse P.

“Kaili took excellent care of my shy, anxious dog. She kept me informed and sent great pics and videos. She obviously formed a warm bond with my dog. And she left my house spotless. Thank you!”

Amanda M.

“So grateful we found Sophia -- she is excellent! We were nervous about finding someone to stay in our home for a week that not only we could trust, but that our sweet, but anxious and stranger-averse, rescue dog would let past her tough shell and get along with. I was stunned when our dog almost immediately warmed up to Sophia during our meet and greet (that never happens), and not only did she get along with Sophia, she clearly bonded with her and missed her after we returned from our trip. Sophia took great care of our home, treated our pup with so much love, provided much appreciated updates with photos and videos, communicated proactively and timely, took our dog on multiple walks a day (even though it rained most days, she bought a doggy raincoat!), and was gracious and flexible about trip date adjustments and meet/greet times. Can't say enough positive things about Sophia -- would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

Neil G.

“My wife and I couldn't be happier with Kathy. She took care of our 2 kittens when we were out of town. While we were gone I got plenty of pictures and updates on the kittens which is appreciated for our first time away from them. We will definitely be booking Kathy next time we are out of town and you should too!”
