House Sitting Bellvale

“We reached out to Cordigen with a last-minute request, and she was incredibly accommodating, kind, and flexible from our very first messages and meeting. She immediately recognized that our pup needed support with calm greetings and was so thoughtful in how she approached her, speaking softly and offering gentle, kind reminders to Scout not to jump. Throughout the day, Cordigen was wonderfully communicative, sending photos and updates so we always knew how Scout was doing. She even played calming music on the TV and was happily playing with Scout in the backyard when I arrived home. At pickup, she gave a detailed rundown of the day, from bathroom breaks to how she helped Scout stay calm when she heard noises outside. We truly couldn’t be happier to have found Cordigen as a sitter and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for dog care, especially for dogs who may be a bit anxious or need extra help staying calm. Thank you, Cordigen!”

“Debbie stayed with our dog for a few days while we were out of town. She was very accommodating and our dog seemed to get along great with her! She sent us pictures during her stay and was very responsive whenever we checked in. I would definitely recommend Debbie for an overnight stay!”

“Kristin exceeded every expectation—constant care, genuine engagement with my dog, a perfect routine, and a truly happy, very active dog. I found Kristin after a very thorough search, as it is absolutely essential to me that my dog is not left alone for more than a very short time. She not only respected that—she exceeded every expectation. A big part of my dog’s happiness is her walks, and Kristin took her on long, frequent walks every day. Just as important—if not more—is her feeding routine, which is central to her happiness. She has four main meals per day, plus a small supper and treats in between. I typically combine meals with training and play, and Kristin followed this routine exactly and with great care. Kristin truly engaged with my dog—playing with her both indoors and outdoors, grooming her, and even having her sleep in bed with her at night. She also sent me photos every day, which gave me complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in ways I did not expect—she even bought my dog a new toy and a bag of treats, which says a lot about how much she genuinely cares. I returned to an exceptionally happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog. My dog is very perceptive, and it was immediately clear that she had formed a strong bond with Kristin—they were practically inseparable during the stay. On top of that, the house was left very clean and in perfect condition, with everything exactly as I left it. I would trust Kristin again without hesitation and highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! We’re Em and Sonia. We both grew up with dogs, have had dogs of our own as adults, and have pet sat for many dogs over the years. Dogs are very near and dear to our hearts. We have each had our own journeys with very special dogs in our lives, and we understand how important it is to leave a beloved family member in someone else’s care. We treat every dog we care for as if they were part of our own family. We have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra comfort, and medication. Every dog is unique, so we take the time to understand their personality, routines, care instructions, and any special needs. We maintain their usual feeding schedule, provide plenty of fresh water, make sure they get the right amount of exercise, clean up after them, and give them the attentive care they deserve. We also understand your needs as a pet owner. The more information you can share about your dog, their routine, and your expectations, the better we can provide a smooth and successful sit. We will carefully follow your instructions and treat your home with the same respect we would treat our own. We are happy to meet in person or schedule a Zoom call before your booking so you can ask questions, get to know us, and feel comfortable with your dog’s care and safety. We both work for ourselves and remotely, so your pet will have plenty of loving company, attention, play, cuddles, and all their needs met daily. We care for every pet as if they were our own. We provide care in your home, following your pet’s usual routine and care instructions, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and any special needs. We also treat your home with the utmost respect.

“Esmeralda did house & cat sitting for us while we were away for 2 weeks. She was terrific! She saved our vacation when we had a truly last minute kitchen faucet leak. She took care of emptying out the bucket we placed under the pipe on a daily basis and even took out all the wet items from under the kitchen sink cabinet and dried them off for us. She even got a bigger bucket from her own home to help with our situation. She made our kitty, Uli, very happy, playing with him and petting him. We could see how happy he was. We feel very fortunate to have found Esmeralda on Rover just in time before our vacation when our previous sitter told us he couldn’t make it. Thank you very much, Esmeralda, for all the attention and care you gave to Uli and our home!”

“Since Mowgli is a senior dog I wanted him to be as comfortable as possible while we were away, so house sitting was our best option. Having Lauren house sit gave us such peace of mind. We appreciated the pictures and her checking in with us about his day. Will definitely book with her again if my husband and I plan another trip.”

Samantha G.

“Inga met with us a couple of days before the start of the booking and it was immediately clear that she was good with dogs as our duo can be a little picky but they got along with her well. She also asked a lot of questions about the dogs, which made us feel more at ease. We were traveling out of town and Inga arrived earlier than asked to ensure there were no problems, sent us several updates with photos and videos of our dogs each day, and it was clear from them (and once we came back) that our dogs really liked her. Would highly recommend for anyone else and hopefully we'll be able to have Inga dogsit for us in the future as well.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friend dogs and cats. Love being outdoors with animals. I myself have a husky , cat , turtle and birds. Enjoy all furry friends :) I am available on weekends to come walk, or care for your furry animals. Do routinely check ups, drop ins and overnight stays available for your furry loved ones needs . Fenced , big yard for dogs to run around. Safe home to keep indoor cats. I have a husky at home very friendly with other dogs.

About: I’ve built a loyal client base since 2022 primarily through word of mouth and have many excellent references. I have experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and routines, and I consider myself well-prepared to handle a variety of situations. I’m highly communicative, proactive, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I always strive to go the extra mile for my clients, making sure both pets and their people feel heard, respected, and confident in their care. This work brings me a great deal of joy, and I genuinely love getting to know and care for each animal. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week and travel across the Bay Area for in-home sits. Pets are also welcome to stay with me at my Emeryville loft. I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua-Terrier mix who is friendly with most animals and mostly keeps to himself. I prioritize regular walks, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection throughout the day. When caring for dogs in their home, I aim for 2–3 walks daily on safe, familiar routes; there is also a dog park directly across from my loft if that’s a good fit for the dog. I follow each client’s care instructions closely, communicate proactively if questions come up, and keep clients updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Shannon was a great and professional petsitter/housesitter! She was ontime, a great communicator, and totally took things in stride when our shiba inu pup got sick last minute, handling his medication pickup and administration while we were gone. She sent us pictures and replied to texts very quickly. She really helped put our mind at ease on our first vacation away from the puppy!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and pet sitting for families in my community for years. I grew up with cats, chickens, and very large dogs (mastiffs and shepherds), so I’m extremely comfortable with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. In addition to dog and cat sitting for neighbors, friends, and families throughout the Half Moon Bay, La Honda, and Pescadero areas, I also have professional experience working with animals. For three years I worked with horses in a therapeutic riding program, where I helped care for and rehabilitate former racehorses and support their training to become therapy animals. What sets me apart is how attentive and communicative I am while you’re away. I truly treat the animals I care for like my own, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also love sending photo updates and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. Caring for your pet fits perfectly into my routine, and I’ll try to keep their routine as familiar as possible. I work almost entirely from home, so I have a schedule that allows me plenty of time during the day for walks, visits, playtime, and check-ins. Because I’ve lived locally in the Bay and coastside all of my life, I’m also familiar with the area and can easily accommodate regular visits or longer stays. I additionally love to take pets out for hikes, shorter walks, and other outtings depending on their energy needs—I love looking after adventurers and home-bodies alike. I’m happy to build my schedule around what works best for your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and follow all instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walk routines and house rules. I can’t lie, I’m a bit of a neat freak! I leave a home better than I found it. I’m attentive on walks, keep pets safely leashed, and make sure gates, doors, and fences are secure and locked upon leaving your home. I also believe communication is paramount while you’re away. I send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Highly recommend Coralee! She took excellent care of Hawkeye, and we felt comfortable and confident leaving him in her care at our place. Will happily hire her again!”

About: I've had three dogs in my life. I have some training experience with them and have cared for many of my friends' and acquaintances' pets. Looking forward to supporting wherever I can I have pretty open availability right now. Though I do have a daughter in high school, who needs me for drop off and pick ups. It should not be a hindrance b I keep my cats indoors. And my dogs as well. They are crate trained so I can crate your pet as well and am familiar with the process of crate training.

“Emma stayed again with our two dogs while we were on an overseas journey. We felt so comfortable and were able to have a good trip because we knew the dogs were in good hands. Thanks again Emma!”
