House Sitting Blackhawk

“Vanessa was a pleasure to work with! It was great meeting her in advance of our trip. She was very diligent and professional taking notes and asking questions in our first meetup! Most importantly, she showed genuine interest and care in our cat Ozzie, who has some special health needs. We could tell they really bonded 🐱, and that Vanessa is passionate about what she does. During our trip, she sent regular updates with photos and took good care of Ozzie! When he was stubborn about his medication, she found creative solutions. Our home was in solid condition when we returned. We would definitely work with Vanessa again. Thank you so much, Vanessa!”

“Laura was fantastic. She cared for our dog like her own and made sure to give us great daily updates while we were out of the country. She even cleaned the house, which was amazing to come home to after a long trip. We will definitely be rebooking with Laura in the future. She created a great friendship with our dog and we are so thankful!”

“Jana came over for a meet and greet as was very attentive to my dogs needs and routine. She house sat for over a week, communicated well, sent lots of pics and updates which made us happy and we were able to enjoy our vacation to full extent. We would definitely use Jana again and recommend her.”

“Betsy looked after our kitty, house, and plants while we were on vacation for two weeks. Our house was just the way we left it when we came home and our kitty was a happy boy! Betsy kept us updated that everything was just fine at home during our vacation. We would use her again :)”

“This is our second time working with Diana and we can’t recommend her enough. Our old dogs can be pretty high maintenance, but she does a great job caring for them when we’re away. Thank you!”

Molly R.

“Brittney was great; she took good care of our girls and tidied up our house nicely. Looking forward to booking more stays, finally a tad bit of freedom and peace of mind knowing our girls are happy and cared for.”

“Emily was a wonderful caregiver to our spoiled puppy. We received daily updates and photos. Emily also brought in our mail and packages while we were gone. She went above and beyond to set our minds at ease while on vacation.”

About: 10 years of pet sitting for dogs and cats 5 years of professional dog walking, dog care, and dog bathing 5 years volunteering at cat rescue Cared for pets of all sizes and ages I’m currently working as a part-time dog bather so I have lots of time to care for your fur babies and give them the attention they need. I care for your pets in your home based off what routines they are used to. Let me know what they love and what their house rules are and I will follow that to insure they feel safe and happy.

“Kim was wonderful with our 14 year old Boston Terrier. He needs extra care, and medications throughout the day, and Kim did a great job of ensuring he had all his meds and meals. Kim was dependable, friendly and clearly a dog lover. Chief was so comfortable with her. She also sent us updates and pictures to let us know how he was doing. We got to go away on our trip knowing that Chief would be in great hands with Kim. We look forward to having Kim take care of Chief again. Thank you Kim for caring so much for our precious Chief.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, starting with Daisy, a cocker spaniel I got back in second grade. She lived to a happy old age and even had puppies. I kept one, a cockapoo named Lucas, and he’s still with me today along with his sister Bella. They’re almost 13 now, so I know senior dogs well, plus all the energy and walks that younger ones need. Over the years I’ve dog sat and house sat for family and friends, with everything from small dogs to big breeds like a Kangal and a pit/bulldog mix. I’m comfortable with all kinds, though small to medium dogs are my sweet spot. I’m also happy to handle the little stuff, like ear cleaning, that some breeds need. Whether your dog is a puppy, full of energy, or slowing down a bit, they’ll be in calm and caring hands with me. My schedule shifts week to week since I’m balancing work and school, but overall it gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m generally free most mornings and have stretches throughout the day to check in, walk dogs, or spend real time with cats rather than just rushing through visits. For house sitting, I plan my hours around your pet’s routine, not the other way around. I’ve had pets my whole life, so a calm and safe environment is second nature to me. For dogs, that means sticking to their walk and feeding schedule and being attentive during play and downtime. For cats, I’m careful about doors and entry points since I know how easily they can slip out, and I keep an eye on plants or anything toxic that curious pets might chew on. Either way, I follow your home’s rules exactly as you’d want them and pay attention to the small things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable with someone new around.

About: I have three rescue fur babies that live their best lives and consider my clients to be an extended part of my little family. I even have a sign on my desk that says, “I work hard so my dogs can have a better life.” I am a health care leader who recently relocated to California and I am available to care for your pet Monday-Sunday. I provide services in the Danville and San Ramon area. **House Sitting:** For overnight stays, I require a brief meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure it’s a good fit for everyone. I also ask that the space I’ll be using (bedroom and bathroom) be prepared with fresh linens for my stay. I’m very comfortable in lived-in homes, but I do ask that the environment be generally clean and safe so I can focus on providing the best care for your pet. If I feel that the setup isn’t a good fit, I may respectfully decline the booking. I’m a retired United States Air Force veteran and take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home and pets. I’m happy to provide a current background check, credit check, drug screening, and references upon request. I also encourage you to review my client feedback to get a sense of the care and consistency I provide.

About: Hey there! 🐾 I've been surrounded by pets all my life, so caring for furry friends comes naturally to me. When I'm not at the elementary school where I work, you can find me enjoying the outdoors, often with a canine companion by my side. I'm excited to meet your pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve plus gain some daily morning exercise while walking your dog! I'm looking to be able to walk dogs early in the morning before my Kids' Country job around 10am. If possible, I can do drop in visits afterward 6:30pm. I'm fully available Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced in yard to give dogs some freedom, but I am looking to give dogs walks as often as possible around the Danville/ Alamo/ Blackhawk and San Ramon areas.

About: I’ve spent my teen years taking care of other people’s pets and house-sitting, making sure everything is kept in good shape! I’m responsible, reliable, and will keep a house in good shape. I’ve always had animals and have two cats, two dogs, and two guinea pigs. Both my dogs are American Staffys, so I’m no stranger to dogs that require extra attention and exercise! I would also like to add that while on my profile there aren’t any pictures of me and the pets in a single frame, I included pictures of multiple that I’ve pet sit for, and some of my own as well. I am happy to provide references. Currently, I’ve just graduated high school early, and am starting college in NYC in the fall. In the meantime, I plan to house/pet sit as a meaningful way to spend my time! Currently, my only occupied weekdays are Tuesdays and Thursdays, however only for a few hours, other than that my schedule is completely open. In my client’s home, I will respect their wishes in how their pet is to sleep, eat, play, and in what way they get their exercise.

“We can’t begin to thank Kristi enough for coming to our rescue and taking fabulous care of our lab Dexter and our itty bitty kitty Willy ! She cared for our home like it was her own, everything was right in its place when we got home. Her communication with us while we were gone was fantastic, she let us know every step of the way how things were going and the pictures and videos were so fun to receive!! We wouldn’t give it a second thought to take full advantage of Kristi’s services again when needed !”

“Daryl was so great with our dog! He provided lots of updates and maps of his walks. We felt so content during our trip knowing that he was here to watch her.”

Becca M.

“Eric was fantastic and communicated with me through the entire trip including many pictures of my fur babies. He was great taking care of my geriatric dog and puppy alike.”

Kaylin G.

“Aida is great. She sat the house and my 15 year old cockapoo and 8 year old cat for five days. The fur babies loved her, she was in regular contact with me and sent photos once in a while (but also did not overload me with them, either). The house was in great condition when I got home. Couldn't ask for more. I will hire her again, except she is in high demand and you will need to book early.”

Scott H.

“Eva was great! Very responsive and genuinely wanted to make sure that our kitties were well taken care of while we were gone. All 3 of our kitties quickly warmed up to her and we truly appreciated all of her help.”

Felicia E.

“Mary Jane spent the night with Bodie while I was away for work meetings. She was great, and Bodie was well taken care of. I really appreciated that she checked on him in the afternoon, since I was a delayed returning.”
