House Sitting in Altamont

“Cecelia was amazing. Our dog just got neutered and Cecelia took really good care of him. Leo had a really good time with her.”

“So great! We were able to relax while we were away knowing the dogs were being taken care of! We also really appreciated Sarah’s updates and patience with our younger pup who can be a handful.”

About: I provide dependable care with lots of attention, structure and communication so you never have to wonder if your fur baby is in the right hands. I work from home 5 days a week so whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions or simply some playtime and cuddles i am always available. I used to volunteer regularly at my local animal shelter and because of that I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic medications and caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.

About: I offer reliable dog care, including walks, feeding, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. My experience includes walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic pups to senior companions. I’m flexible with timing and can accommodate walks, daycare, or overnight stays based on your dog’s needs I’m currently in school and will be doing different small pet sitting gigs this summer! I would be able to come around 3 times a day. I have a dog and two cats of my own. I enjoy going on walks! I would love to care for your animals with the love that they need!

“Pete was well taken care of I would definitely use Katelyn again!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family multiple times, giving me real experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine by planning specific times for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, while also checking in throughout the day to make sure the dog is comfortable, safe, and getting enough attention. I would care for your dog in your home by monitoring bathroom breaks, providing regular walks, feeding them on schedule, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up with many different animals, including dogs, cats, snakes, and fish. I am currently living with two dogs and I adore them so much! I currently am working part-time Sunday through Thursday, and can commit to morning/afternoon check-in (before noon) as well as night time check-ins (after 5 pm). I will ensure your fur baby is well fed and taken care of! I will also make sure they have someone to play with while you’re away!

“Byrnnye was an excellent dog sitter and left our home immaculately clean, we appreciated her very much. She was very responsive in getting back to us with texts that kept us informed of our dog's wellbeing.”

About: Hi my name is Allison, I am an experienced dog and cat sitter who has been pet sitting for 6 years. I also have my own pets who I adore, a charcoal lab and a black cat. I am an active caretaker, and can walk and play with animals easily. Looking for summer work as I am on summer break through the school district I work for. Please reach out with any questions! I currently work in the Pleasanton School District, therefore I have summers off and available. I am looking to pet sit for the summer until August. I have very flexible availability, and am easy to work with. I love all dogs and have my own that I adore! I can take your pets for walks, play with them in the house and the backyard as long as it is fenced. As someone who cares for your animals at your house, I am respectful of your space and make sure the priority is the care for your animals.

“Katrina had a wonderful bond with Roxie. Roxie looked fabulous when we got home. She took such great care of Roxie and sent me pictures along with updates on how Roxie was doing while I was away. Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”

“Kristi was great with my two kitties who came to love her the two weeks she was here. I received daily photos and updates and saw that my boys were happy and loved. My flight home from Portugal was cancelled twice and Kristi was able to save the day by staying with the boys for two additional nights, so I had one less thing to worry about. I came home to a clean home and happy kitties. Thank you Kristi!”

About: I grew up with big active dogs so I understand their needs and habits including affection, energy, and naughty tricks. I volunteer at an animal shelter so am well versed in a variety of dog breeds and dogs with unique histories. Because I am a grad student, I have the flexibility to be at home with your pet while I study. I have acted as a cat sitter as well and have come to love them too! I do not have experience with new kittens so adult cats preferred please. This summer I am fully at your disposal. I am on summer break between grad school programs. You can expect full time attention to your pets. Will update come fall. Your guidelines are my rules! I am happy to crate your pets, let them roam free, or have them sleep in the bed with me (more common request than you’d think) LOL. If you are local, I am happy to let your pup have some outside off leash time in my own fenced in yard, but I do not board dogs in my own home as I live with family while in grad school. I am happy to stay at your home or if you are local, just swing by for hangouts, walks, and bathroom breaks. If you are outside of Pleasanton, overnight stays at the dog’s home are preferred due to travel time. I am also capable of administering dog medications including pills and oral liquids, just leave me instructions!

“3rd booking with Trevor and he always gives our dog such great care and so much love. I feel very secure knowing that my dog is in such great hands when we are away.”

About: Many clients have said they send their furry babies to us for a well-deserved vacation while they enjoy one themselves! My husband, Sebastien, and I moved to Fair Oaks, CA in the summer of 2022. While we missed all our human and furry friends in the Bay Area, we are very excited to meet new ones. We LOVE all pets; however, at the moment, we don’t have any of our own. We only board one pet at a time, ensuring they receive 100% of our love and attention. We may consider boarding two dogs at the same time if they are from the same family, love each other, and each weighs under 60 lbs. Having worked with many different breeds, we are comfortable with boarding, walking, feeding, administering medicine, playing with, caring for, and cleaning up after them. We are both active community members and have volunteered at various places, including Lytton Gardens (senior living), the Nine Lives Foundation (cat shelter), Chung Tai Zen Center, Garden to Table, teaching in Romania, Silicon Valley Volunteers, food banks, the Fair Oaks Chicken Festival, and the Sacramento County Holiday Toy Drive, among others. We both work from home now, so we are more available than ever to provide the best care for your dogs. Please note the important information below: 1, We only board one pet at a time, ensuring they receive 100% of our love and care—guaranteed! 2, We follow owners’ guidelines 100% to ensure pets don’t go home with new habits or need to be retrained. 3, We never give them human food or dog treats unless specified by the owners or provided by them. If they are allowed to have a piece of apple or carrot, please feel free to let us know, and we will be happy to share while the dogs watch us cook. 4, We ensure that all dogs receive the same amount of exercise, or more, while with us. For active and energetic dogs, we provide at least two walks per day and visit parks and river beaches on weekends. For smaller, more home-loving dogs, we enjoy cuddling and playing with them whenever they want. 5, We live in a four-bedroom single-family house with a fully fenced backyard (with a tall fence). Dogs are always welcome to use the yard for their business and playtime, and they are never left unattended in the yard. There are no kids, no roommates, and no other pets in the house. 6, We don’t allow dogs in our care to interact with other dogs. We always cross the street when encountering another dog on walks, as we can’t predict their chemistry or how the other dogs will behave. 7, We avoid dog parks due to potential unknown risks. 8, If your dog has separation anxiety, we are happy to accommodate by never leaving them home alone. However, it would be very helpful to discuss this during our meeting or via message so we can avoid making social engagements or reschedule in advance. We typically only leave them for two hours, or a maximum of four hours. Please bring food, snacks, treats, and any medications. It would be very helpful if feeding instructions and medication dosages are included in their profile or written on a piece of paper. We have a dog bed in each room (with a cover washed after each stay), so if you forget or your pup isn’t picky, we’re covered on that. We also have water and food bowls in various sizes, which are washed after each meal, and water bowls are cleaned daily😄 We look forward to meeting you all! More notes: If you have specific requests regarding the number of updates, pictures, and videos you would like to receive each day, please let us know in advance, and we’ll gladly accommodate. Otherwise, you can expect at least two updates every 24 hours. We believe keeping you informed is essential for peace of mind! We both have full-time jobs in tech (engineering and finance) and work from home. Caring for furry babies is our passion We welcome feedback and would appreciate a review afterward. However, there’s no issue if you don’t get around to it—we won’t ask for one.😸🐶🐻‍❄️🐷 We both work from home so we can accommodate to each dog’s schedule. Normally one of us walk them 20-40 minutes in the morning (unless told not to due to age/injury), and provide potty breaks at least 3 - 4 times during the day. Some sort of mental stimulation in the afternoon, and one more longer walk or fetching/playing in the afternoon/evening. Timing will be dependable on temperature. Last potty break is between 10 to 11pm before bed. Playtime is available throughout the day. Dogs are always secured with a dog seatbelt in the backseat of our Outback when we take them out. We have a tall fenced yard, and we do not allow dogs to be in the yard unattended. We eat twice a day without snacking in between, so there’s no human food or snacks left around the house. We do the dishes immediately after we eat.

“Cindy was great with our pup, Daisy. She arrived on time, took great care of Daisy and sent the cutest photos! I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up caring for cats and dogs and other small animals. Friends and family trust me to take care of their pets of all ages/ different needs when they are out of town. This includes administering meds, feeding, walking and most importantly, playing! Can’t wait to meet!🐾❤️ I'm currently freelancing part time, so I'm very flexible when it comes to aligning with your pups schedules throughout the day/ week! I’m typically available between 7-9am, again around 2pm, and in the evening after 7pm. I pay attention to detail when it comes to checking in with your pup, making sure they are eating, meds are taken at appropriate times, walks are given, playing, and making sure they are going to the bathroom and not just sniffing around! Haha

“I am happy Kenya was able to be with my pups. We have had Kenya sit for a few over nights and each time she has been very communicative, sends picture updates and is on time. We will definitely ask her to stay with our home and pups again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have over 25 years of experience. Currently, my pets, Luna and Nala, are staying with family in Southern California while I’m on a temporary assignment in Northern California. I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and even caring for pets with special needs. Whether it’s playing with energetic pups or offering comfort to senior pets, I provide reliable and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I work full time but I’m home by 4 PM each day, so I’m available for evening walks and boarding. On weekends, I’m always home and can dedicate even more time to caring for your pets. My flexible schedule allows me to provide personalized attention, especially on weekends. I live in an apartment with a small fenced patio where pets can safely roam and get fresh air. While I currently don’t have any pets of my own, I have plenty of space and a cozy environment to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. If needed, I can also crate pets for added safety during their stay.

About: I love teaching dogs new tricks, especially puppies. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and ages. I also love a good coffee run so pup cup anyone? I am currently a college student as well as a part time teacher. Watching after your dogs fits perfectly into my evening and weekend routines. I am a clean freak, so all messes will always be clean before you come home. I also ensure communication with all pet parents on the well being of their fur baby.

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and genuinely enjoy caring for them. When I was younger, I attended an SPCA summer camp where I learned about animal care and responsibility, which helped grow my passion for pets. I grew up around dogs and had my family dog for 16 years, helping with his daily care and giving him lots of love and attention. He was my best friend and I loved him more then anything. I have also worked as a nanny and often cared for the families' dogs when needed. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with dogs. I am patient, dependable, and treat every pet like my own. I truly love spending time with animals and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a very flexible schedule and do school online so I am open all the time to help you with your any of your animal needs! I have a house where I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. I have a spacious house and a huge backyard where dogs can play, run, and get plenty of exercise. I make sure they have constant supervision, fresh water, regular feeding schedules, and lots of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I prioritize their comfort by providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while making sure they feel secure and cared for in their own space.
