House Sitting Arbor

“Kathy is a delightful and conscientious dogsitter. I was gone for at least 14 hours. During that time I received updates on what Jannie and Kathy were doing thru the day by texting me along with photos. Jannie adores Kathy.”

“Adrian is absolutely wonderful! We have three pugs — our 17-year-old senior who needs help getting around, our 14-year-old special needs baby, and our energetic 4-year-old who can find trouble in the blink of an eye. Not the easiest crew to care for, but Adrian handled them all with so much love and patience. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pups, and that means everything to us. When you have seniors with special needs, leaving them isn’t easy — but knowing Adrian was with them gave us complete peace of mind the entire time we were away. We couldn’t recommend Adrian more. If you’re looking for someone who will truly treat your pets like family, look no further!”

“Hunter and Eila did a great job with our animals. We were very nervous about leaving them as Baby had surgery 8 weeks ago and still was restricted from running and jumping. Even with all the special needs and they were able to navigate our crew. Additionally, they kept the house in great condition while we were gone.”

About: I had a chihuahua for 11 years and have been around pets for my whole life. Always willing to learn and grow with new experiences. Becoming a full-time college student soon but I will make time for your amazing pets! I will communicate with you if there are any schedule conflicts to address. I have a big fenced yard and plenty of room for your pet to roam and play. I do not have any other pets so that shouldn’t be a problem.

“This was the second time Regina watched Buffy and once again she was wonderful. Buffy was well loved and taken care of.”

About: I’ve had all types of dogs and cats throughout my 58 years of life. I currently have two beautiful Rottweilers whom I love dearly. Now that I’m retired, my goal is to get some land and have an animal rescue. I like spending time with animals more than people. I am retired so my days are spent spending time with my two Rottweilers and going to the gym and that’s about it. I have plenty of time to help care for animals that need me. I will care for your dog in whatever way you request. My schedule with them will be exactly what you want it to be. Both my Rottweilers sleep in my bed with me so if your dogs normally sleep in the bed with you, I will do that too. Actually it’s my favorite 🥰. I get sad when I have to leave my Rottweilers with family only because I know they’ll miss sleeping with me, going to their favorite park and chasing the ball, and spending the entire day with me. Animals get used to their routine and it stresses them out and makes them sad when they don’t get to do their normal things and spend time with their people. So I will try to make them as happy as they can be while you’re gone.

About: I have given medicine to senior dogs and I always send pictures of your dog everyday. If you want videos I can also do that as well. I always treat them as if I had my own kids. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart. I currently dog sit as my main job. I have been dog sitting the same dog for 6 years now. I used to dog sit more but unfortunately they passed due to old age. I make sure your dog will get the best care as if they were my own. I do daily walks with my dogs and some of the other dogs as long as the owner approves it. I have two German shepherds myself. They are very spoiled and get walked regularly. I make other dogs I watch get excellent care as if they are my own. Unfortunately I do not take dogs into my home.

I, Wendy, am a baker and dog lover! I work Mornings, am not available till 12pm. I love to spend my free time caring for other dogs and making sure they have a reliable pet sitter. I do much research for healthy treats and food and fun activities for my dogs. I care a lot about their well-being and am I always making sure they are fed,warm, and loved for. I, Daniela, am a college student majoring in Biology 🧪. I am also a certified phlebotomist 🩸. I love to meet new dogs and care for them! Rover is my current occupation while I’m studying. I’m only available weekends. I have a big heart and would enjoy getting to know your dog and their mannerisms.

“Vanessa is a smooth operator! We hired her as our first house sitter & to look after our 2 cats and dog while we were away for a few days. She is incredibly warm, attentive & a great dog caretaker. Our pup & kitties didn’t skip a beat in their routine. Would recommend Vanessa & would book again!”

“Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and our home. She sent photos and updates. We can tell our doggie enjoyed Cindy, because it was if we hadn’t left when we got back. She was calm, relaxed and happy. Very happy with Cindy taking care of our pet and home!”

About: I’ve taken care dogs and cats since I was about 10, I’ve had beautiful experience with my own pets and helping sitter for relatives and friends pets as well. I currently have open flexible availability daily, I can adjust to your pet’s needed schedule as needed. I can give your pet the love and support needed daily. I have a fenced in backyard and live in safe neighborhood perfect for neighborhood walks. I also I have plenty of space in my home for crates if needed for your pet to sleep in.

About: I’ve always loved taking care of pets and being active with them. Whether that is going for hikes or just playing around in backyards. It makes them happy and fills my soul as well. I take care of my College Deans dog and take her for walks 3 times a week or as needed to help hike with his busy schedule. I am currently a college student with a lot of free time on my hands. I always have availability on the weekends all day and have a very flexible weekday schedule as well. I adore animals and love to see them happy and healthy. I always treat my client’s pets as my own and give them all my time and attention while they are in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs, of course. I’m adept at giving medications multiple time a day if needed, as I supported one of my dog through the end of his life. If your dog is up for it, I love going on hikes as well! I often take my brother’s Aussie/ Border collie mix on hikes when I’m in the Bay Area. Ultimately, you’d be doing me a favor by allowing me the opportunity to take care of your dog. I miss having a dog around and would love to give some affection and attention to yours 🙂 I’m a graduate student in her clinical phase so my schedule varies! Currently, I’m off Friday-Monday and have a lot of free time. I will update my schedule regularly with my availability. My apartment has a dog park so your dog would get a lot of outside time along with their walks. If you have any favorite toys that your dog likes, please provide them! My goal is to make your dog feel safe and comfortable.

“I’ve known Vicky for sometime now and she’s always been mature, responsible and a pet lover. So when I found out she does pet sitting, it was a no brainer that I’d be booking with her. She was communicative and was definitely invested in caring for my cats. Especially my senior who requires oral meds. My youngest cat warmed up to her so quickly to my surprise!! Definitely will book with her again.”

“I cannot recommend Paulo highly enough. He was amazing with our two dogs, but especially with our anxious & reactive boxer, Beau. It has been a challenge to find someone who understands how to interact with a reactive dog but Paulo was incredible from the start. He is clearly knowledgeable of dogs & was proactive in making sure that his first meeting with Beau was a positive experience. He kept me informed & was patient with Beau even when he was too anxious to eat. Paulo spent quality time with both dogs & it was clear that they enjoyed their time with him. He was even able to take both dogs for a walk together which we haven’t been able to do in two years! I can not express how much of a relief it is to know that your dogs are in good, kind, capable hands when you are not able to be there. Paulo, you truly have a customer for life!”

“Sugit was great with the dogs and keeping in touch with us. We appreciated him staying at the house so that our 2 could be in their own environment even though this was his 1st time home sitting.”

Rachelle H.

“Ava is a reliable dog sitter. My dog was well cared for in my home while I was away. She is quick to respond to texts. Everything went smoothly. I would recommend Ava and use her again.”

Marjorie S.

“I highly recommend Ann! She took amazing care of my two dogs while I was on vacation and she truly went above and beyond. She played with them, gave them lots of attention, and treated them like they were her own. She is incredibly kind and professional. She gave several updates every day with the best pictures of the dogs. She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I appreciate her genuine care and will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: 🐾Love By Pets. Recommended by humans. Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, breeds, temperaments, and care levels. Improving the lives of animals is my passion. Every pet that enters my care is treated like family, receiving the same love, patience, respect, protection and individualized attention I would want for my own beloved pets. Whether you have a puppy, a fragile senior, a pregnant or nursing mother, a shy rescue, or a pet with medical, behavioral, or anxiety-related challenges, I provide compassionate, personalized care tailored to their unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, enriching, stress-free and FUN experience that allows pets to thrive while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ✨ Experience Includes: • All ages. Puppies, kittens (bottle feeding ok 👍🏻), seniors, and hospice care • Pregnant animals and nursing mothers • Medication administration and specialized care plans • Medical, behavioral, and anxiety-related conditions • Fearful, reactive, rescue, and special-needs pets • Giant breeds (120–200+ lbs), toy breeds, and everything in between • Bully breeds, guardian breeds, working dogs, and high-drive breeds • Exotic and specialty felines • Birds, reptiles, and small animals • Multi-pet households My experience extends far beyond traditional pet sitting. I have spent years working with animal rescues and participating in Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and community cat programs, helping care for and advocate for vulnerable animals. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, body language, trust-building, and how to safely handle pets with a wide range of personalities and backgrounds. I have also been honored to participate in efforts supporting families through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, including helping facilitate meaningful visits for children whose wish was to spend time with animals and pets. These experiences further strengthened my commitment to compassion, reliability, and providing comfort during life’s most meaningful moments. Caring for others—both human and animal—is at the heart of everything I do. Communication is one of my highest priorities. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout your pet’s stay so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your family member is safe, happy, and loved. 💗 What Makes My Care Different? • Personalized, one-on-one attention for the duration  • Flexible and accommodating scheduling • Solo daycare available upon request • Extended stays welcome • Customized routines tailored to your pet • Calm, loving, family-oriented environment • Experience with pets requiring advanced handling skills • Care from someone who genuinely loves animals and understands their individual needs Many of my clients become long-term members of my pet-care family. I’m proud to have earned the trust of repeat clients who rely on me to care for everything from tiny teacups and exotic pets to giant breeds, working dogs, bully breeds, seniors, rescues, and pets with complex medical or behavioral needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. That’s why I focus on building trust, maintaining open communication, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, understood, and loved from the moment they arrive. I look forward to welcoming your furry, feathered, or scaly family member and giving them the same level of care, compassion, and attention I would give my own. Because every pet deserves more than just a sitter—they deserve family. 🐾💕 My schedule revolves around pet care already. Caring for animals has been a major part of my daily life for many years through pet care/sitting/walking etc, animal rescue work, and caring for my own pets. While your pet is with me, this is their time and all of my focus and attention is on them for the duration of the booking. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, companionship, medication administration when needed, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a flexible schedule, or specialized care, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to each animal’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Before every booking, I take the time to learn about feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medications, favorite activities, fears, quirks, and any special instructions. Owner guidance and instructions are key to providing the best possible booking and any information provided will be followed closely (and greatly appreciated!).  One thing that sets my care apart is that I do not use kennels or crates unless they are already part of your pet’s normal routine and you specifically request it. My goal is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and at home—not confined unnecessarily. For families looking for a more personalized experience, I also offer accommodations such as Private Doggy Daycare, Private Kitty Daycare, Private Canine Camp, and Private Kitty Camp, where your pet can be the only guest in my care for the duration of their stay. I am always happy to discuss special requests and customize care whenever possible. Whether caring for a tiny breed, a giant breed, a working dog, a bully breed, a senior pet, or a rescue animal with unique needs, safety, comfort, and individualized attention always come first.
