House Sitting in Bret Harte

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and have always been someone friends and family trust with their pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines so pets feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether a pet is energetic, anxious, or more independent, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to provide dependable, gentle care every time. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I pride myself on being as reliable and communicative as possible. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and can adjust timing as needed to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and safety. I also respect your home and space, keeping things clean and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!

About: Growing up with animals my whole life I’ve always had a fond love of my pets. I’ve watched numerous family and friends animals while they were away and loved spending time with every one of their pets. I furthered my education by obtaining a bachelors degree in animals science and working in vet medicine, it’s to safe to say it’s my passion! Can’t wait to meet your beloved pets! I currently work at an equine veterinary hospital only 4 days a week. My schedule is flexible enough to maintain your pets normal routines and schedules! Other than work my priority would be your pets! I have a strong love and passion for taking care of animals and take pride in giving the best care to your pets while you’re away! Having 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I understand just how important our pets are and how we love them like family. I am passionate about providing the best care for your pets as I would care for my own. I strive to ensure your pets are provided for in the best way possible that fits all your needs and provides comfort and peace of mind to you and your family.

About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.

“Ashanti did an amazing job house sitting for us. She went above and beyond caring for all our babies and the house! We highly recommend her services! She really truly loves animals and made sure our doggie had lots of love and playtime!”

Marta "MJ" J.

“Margerita was great with our two dogs. She made sure they both got the exercise they needed and were well taken care of. She stayed in communication with us and sent pictures. Our one dog can be anxious and timid. Margerita helped him feel comfortable. We will definitely rebook her.”

About: Hi, I’m Ethan! I’m 19 and I’m ready to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and entertained under my care! I have had pets of my own since I was young and love animals. I am most experienced in cat and dog care (all ages), but can care for smaller animals as well! I am always ready and willing to learn your pet’s exact needs and wants in order to fulfill them. Though I have my own pets I am well experienced in taking care of other people’s as well! I have been providing pet and house care services for friends and family since my pre teen years- it’s something I’m passionate about! Thank you for reading and I hope to care for your fur baby soon! :) I just graduated (class of 2025) and am looking forward to making this my part time job during this gap year, and hopefully in the long run! I love animals/pets and helping others, and am ready to dedicate my time to this important work for you and your pets included! I am prepared to learn your pets needs no matter how simple or complex they are- my top concern is your pets happiness and health! I promise any instructions discussed and or left for your pets and home will be followed to a T! This includes pets who are particular about how things are done, such as walks, meal time, Potty breaks, and etc (such as my own pets are- lol!) I understand that being welcomed into somebody’s home and taking care of their fur babies is a privilege.

About: 15 years of experience with dog sitting/walking. Discount may be give to repeat customers. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and some Russian in case you have limited English and feel comfortable using one of those. I have taken care of old dogs, puppies, dogs small, large, and In between too. I’m extremely responsible with ensuring your pet receives their medication as needed, if needed. I love to walk, but tailor my services to your dogs needs. Want me to have them socialize with my dog, done. Want me to keep the dogs separate, I can do that too. Message me and let me know what you need! Something that separates me from others: I understand some dogs are just vocal and not aggressive. I have experience sitting extremely vocal dogs who most people would think are aggressive, but really they just like to bark. Please disclose if your dog is not good around children when booking! Thank you and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I don’t discriminate based on gender, gender expression, religion, age, sexual orientation, race, or for any other reason. I welcome and respect all people and dogs I am currently working from home with a dog of my own, this allows me to adjust my daily schedule to your pets needs. I go on daily walks so your dog will fit right in. I have a fenced yard and a dog for your dog to socialize, but also have room to keep them separate if preferred. Dogs are fed as much and as often as requested by owner along with the amount of potty breaks. If the pet is house trained they are also allowed to be in the home, I have house trained dogs so can help with that too. I love to give dogs treats so they can expect treats when they are over if approved by you!

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a child and truly love animals of all kinds. I have experience with both big and small dogs, including caring for my aging and sick pup through the end of her life. I’ve also rescued several pitbulls, which taught me patience, compassion, and how to build trust with dogs from all backgrounds. I treat every dog like family and always strive to provide safe, loving, and attentive care. I work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the week and weekends. I’m able to care for your pup in your home and provide walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care based on your dog’s individual needs and personality. My priority is always making animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet and owner has different routines, boundaries, and preferences, and I will always follow what works best for both you and your animal. Whether your pet needs extra patience, structure, affection, or calm care, I strive to create a safe and trusting environment for them at all times.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I've handled different kinds of breeds. All dogs have different personalities and I've been able to adapt to all. I'm good at paying close attention to detail if I notice something if off when it comes to my clients pets. I treat all their pets as if they were my own! I am currently working towards school and I am unemployed at the moment. I have an open availability, unless I have another client during that time. I have an open backyard with a fence for my dogs to run around. One of my dogs is playful and the other is on the reserved side. I make sure they get all their energy out! In my clients home, I make sure there are frequent potty breaks and playtime. I also make sure your house stays cleaned as far as toys & such.
