House Sitting in Avila Beach

“Riley is wonderful! She is experienced, knowledgeable, conscientious and has a kind, patient manner. Riley stayed with my big, senior Alaskan Malamute for 6 days/nights in my home while I was out of town and did a fantastic job with both pet sitting and house sitting. Riley was very communicative before her stay to make sure she was familiar with food/medicine schedules and all other routines. While I was away, Riley texted and sent pictures daily and it was very clear that my Malamute was totally happy, comfortable, and content. I arrived home to a calm, relaxed dog who I’m sure is hoping that Riley returns soon!”

“Rachelle is awesome! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Rex was in such kind and capable hands. Rachelle was wonderful with him. Rex was happy, calm, and well cared for when we returned, which says everything. During her stay Rachelle also handled an unexpected power outage with remarkable calm, maturity, and good judgment. It was reassuring to know that even in a stressful situation, she remained composed and took everything in stride. If we could give her 6 stars we would.”

“Josie was awesome! She stayed at our place over a long holiday weekend and took great care of our dogs. She kept in touch the whole time, sent cute pictures, and let us know when one of our pups wasn’t feeling well. We really appreciated the updates. Came home to a clean house and two happy dogs—couldn’t ask for more. Will definitely book with Josie again!”

“Hannah was great! Super responsive from the get go, kept me updated throughout each day I was gone, and left my house exactly as I left it. Loved the daily photos so I could see my pup having a blast. Thanks, Hannah!”

About: I love hanging out with dogs while their parents parents are away! I am a big hiker, so on the weekends I love taking the dogs out for a hike/long walks and even the beach if allowed! I currently work 8-5 with occasional early entry at 6am. Weekends I am free, and evenings I am free. I am typically active early in the morning, able to feed and walk in the mornings and afternoons. I typically like to pet sit at the owners home to make the time away from the pets parents as seamless as possible! I am incredible respectful of other peoples homes and incredibly clean and tidy.

“Camille was an excellent pet sitter for my big boy Bogey! Great communication, sent lots of pics, and very flexible with my changing hours. I will definitely be booking her in the future. Thank you!!”

“What a great dog sitter Joshuah was. It's so hard to leave and feel comfortable with my time away but Joshuah was perfect. He responded promptly every time I sent a message I appreciated that! I felt very comfortable with him here in my house for 5 nights...pictures daily”

“Zara is an amazing sitter for our pup, Ripple! She is so attentive to Ripple’s needs, very communicative and sends us lots of pictures and updates, and even braved a power outage at our place. We’re so grateful to know our girl was in great hands while we were away!”

“My 2 dogs and cat loved Mindy! We were away for a week and a half and Mindy took such good care of our furry family and home. We came home to a spotless house and our pets were happy and calm - a big difference from other pet sitter experiences. One of our dogs liked her so much that he kept looking to see if Mindy was still here after we got home! One of the pieces that really worked for our family is that Mindy works mostly remotely and so she was home with the animals most of the time and that helped them to feel safe and bonded with her. She watered plants, helped to communicate about roof construction that had to happen while we were gone, and alerted us to problems that came up. She was very professional all around. We feel so fortunate to have had Mindy here while we were gone. It was so lovely to be able to actually enjoy our time away without worry! Thank you, Mindy!”

“Gabi did a wonderful job house sitting Ola. I appreciate how communicative she was and how well taken care of Ola was. She provided peace of mind, and most importantly, I can tell she is really good with dogs. She also helped out with our cockatiel.”

About: Been around dogs my whole life! Have had my own golden a little over a year ago now so am well versed with puppy behavior and training. I love to stay active and used to bring my dog on hikes, play tug of war and go on long walks so if that sounds like something your dog would love the I’m your girl! Currently have full availability on weekends and after 6 PM on weekdays. Love to stay active and do lots of fun enrichment activities but also love a long mellow walk! I live in an area with a common area but am also really close to lots of great walks and hikes to walk and or go play some fetch!

“Analgesic is am absolutel pro! She was so kind to our dog who has separation anxiety. She was able to calm him down & give is the opportunity to catch a movie. She was on time, very responsive. A jewel.”

About: I have owned and taken care of pets all my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats as well. I have experience with small animals and aquatic pets as well. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I recently graduated from college and am now a full-time teacher. Now that it is summer, my availability has opened up. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am able to provide consistent walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. Whether I am dog walking or pet sitting, ensuring trust and pet safety is my number 1 priority. I understand the importance of building trust with both the pets and their owners, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my presence. For pet sitting, I create a nurturing environment by following the pet's usual routines, providing plenty of affection and attention, and keeping the surroundings clean and comfortable. I adhere to strict safety protocols for dog walking, including using secure leashes, monitoring pet health, and using safe routes. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their beloved pets are in caring and capable hands.

“Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of my Cozie! Cozie is very shy but Loren was able to make buddies with her and they had a great time! Thanks, Loren!!”

“Alexsandra watched our Boxer Nico in our home for a few days and maintained regular contact with us, providing daily updates during our time away. She took good care of our boy and was respectful of our home. If you’re looking for a sitter, we highly recommend her!”
