House Sitting Atherton

“Ian was absolutely amazing. They took wonderful care of our two sweet cats, and sent us regular updates. When we returned, our house was immaculate. We will absolutely be booking with Ian again in the future!”

“I was a little nervous leaving my cat for the first time, but Marion made it so easy. She showed up right on time, sent me updates, and treated my cat like her own. When I got back, my cat was relaxed and happy. It felt like she’d been cared for by a friend. It’s rare to find someone this trustworthy these days. I’ll definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone!”

“Chelsea was so kind and truly cared about my pup's wellbeing. She communicated when he was being difficult about his meds, immediately called me when the fire alarms went off in the complex and took my pup out, and even washed the sheets! Thank you, Chelsea!”

“Ciara gave us a worry free experience. She was very responsible and took care of our fur baby and left the house in good order. We would use her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Ciara!”

Sharon M.

“CJ was referred to me by my neighbor, who has trusted him for pet sitting for many years and now I understand why. He was punctual, responsible, and provided daily updates. My pets were clearly well cared for, and it was a great relief knowing both my home and animals were in good hands while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CJ or use his services again.”

“Vivian is an absolute gem - book her and you won't go wrong! We can't say enough good things about Vivian. She stayed at our house for over three weeks while we were away at our daughter's wedding, and she took care of everything like it was her own home. Organized, responsible, and clearly cares deeply about animals - she is a genuine dog whisperer. Our dog Duke absolutely loved her. He's usually a bit particular about new people, but Vivian won him over almost instantly and kept him happy, comfortable, and on routine the entire time we were gone. The level of care and communication throughout the three weeks gave us total peace of mind during our big family event. And as if that weren't enough, she baked us cookies for when we got home - an incredibly thoughtful touch that really says everything about who she is! Top notch, first rate, A+++. We'll be sure to book Vivian for our trips going forward and we recommend her without reservation.”

“Virginia was amazing with our dog, Lily! She was very communicative, sending updates and pictures throughout the stay. She also treated our home with care and respect. Would definitely have her back and recommend her to anybody as a sitter!”

About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, starting with Ginger, my family's German shepherd and husky mix, and four cats growing up. I later spent about two years volunteering at my local SPCA, working hands-on with dogs of every size and temperament, from bouncy puppies to nervous rescues. I've also had cats of my own as an adult, including two rescues, and fostered kittens before I started traveling. Since then I've cared for pets through farm stays and housesits across Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, and Canada — dogs, cats, chickens, goats, even an adult pet rat. I'm comfortable administering medication, working with anxious or senior animals, and managing multi-pet households. I'm calm, attentive, and treat every home and animal I look after like my own. I'm currently transitioning to the San Mateo County area temporarily starting early November and building my schedule around pet care full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for house sits, and daily visits, including extended or last-minute stays. I don't currently have a conflicting 9-to-5, which means I can commit fully to a pet's normal routine for the length of a booking rather than fitting care in around other work. Since I focus on house sitting, I stay at your home rather than asking your pet to adjust to a new environment. I follow feeding, medication, and walking routines exactly as instructed, keep the house clean and secure, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I don't bring other pets into the home, so your animal gets my full attention for the whole stay.

“Jazmin was amazing! She responded right away to our last minute booking request for the following day and even made time to come meet us and our pup the evening before with only a few hours’ notice. She was incredibly sweet and loving with our anxious rescue pup, sent regular updates throughout the day, and was extremely communicative. We felt completely comfortable knowing Scout was in such good hands. Highly recommend Jazmin for any pet sitting needs!”

“Guilherme took great care of our two dogs (who can be a handful) and kept us up to date on how they were doing the whole time we were away. Will definitely rebook!”

Rebecca S.

“Friendly, sweet, and great with my dogs. She followed all instructions and took very good care of them. Easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with — I’d happily book her again”

Namita P.

“Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.”

“Evelyn took care of our rescue dog like her own. She made sure to review our guide in advance (our dog has some triggers based on his shelter experience). She was very affectionate and our dog ended up cuddling with her. Would love to book Evelyn again!”

“Stephanie stayed at our house with our two cats during a holiday week. She was beyond fantastic! Throughout the week, she sent us adorable snapshots and videos and kept us in the loop about their funny shenanigans. She also made easy work of a complicated refrigerated auto-feeder setup we have one of our cats on. We returned to a spotless home! Our two cats were not just cared for but clearly loved. Stephanie's competence and warmth made our vacation worry-free. Couldn’t more highly recommend!”

Nina B.

“Danielle is wonderful and takes great care of our dog and cat when we leave town. She is an excellent communicator and always goes above and beyond.”

Marlana S.

“Lauren was great with our anxious dog when dog-sitting this past weekend. She took the time to get to know our dog's temperament and adjusted to what made her comfortable. It was nice to have someone who cared for our sweet girl while we were away.”

Kelly P.

“She is kind and gentle with the animals. She’s smart and independent meaning she can find her way and do the right thing without step by step instruction. She’s GREAT! She has common sense and empathy. She was readily available on short notice (hour) and made it so we wouldn’t miss our child’s concert. Any pet that has her as a pet sitter is VERY lucky! She’s the best! Thank you, Radia!”

Courtney R.

“Kimberly stayed in my home and took wonderful loving care of my dog, Comet, while I was on vacation for 13 days. Kimberly sent videos of Comet and responded quickly to my text messages. She left my home in perfect condition, and even cleaned the house before leaving! I would highly recommend her if you need someone to take care of your pet.”

About: I grew up with 2 newfoundlands back home (Chief and Stella🫶🏼), so love all dogs especially big ones. I have also been dog-sitting since I was 15! Currently enrolled as a grad student at Stanford. I am taking classes and living on campus but have a car to drive and am able to be flexible with my schedule. All of my roommates love dogs and my living room would be great for having pets play. There is a large green field outside of my apartment as well!

“Katie went above and beyond after our first house sitting experience with her this past week! She provided daily updates with plenty of photos of our dog, Ritz, while we were away which was so amazing and much appreciated as we didn’t need to worry about how their days were going together! Our dog is reactive and hesitant to strangers so leaving him this trip was a big step for us, but as his first day with Katie went by, he really warmed up to her and became comfortable which gave us a big relief as well! Katie and her boyfriend Preston are patient, caring and understanding! And also lovely photographers :) we got so many action shots of Ritz and that really helped us feel comfortable knowing he was being taken care of in great hands! They also left our house spotless once we returned :) We love Katie and Preston and Ritz will be excited for future visits with them!”
