House Sitting Bucktown

About: Hi! I'm Heather Rae, a dependable, compassionate animal lover based in Vacaville and serving surrounding communities. Animals have always been a grounding part of my life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust while giving them the attention they deserve. Whether your pet loves long walks, 🎶 pinã coladas🍍, quiet companionship, playtime, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I'm patient with senior pets, attentive to details like medications and feeding schedules, and happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can travel with peace of mind. I'm an active person who enjoys being outdoors, so energetic dogs get plenty of exercise, while older pets receive gentle, patient care at their own pace. Professionally, I've spent years working in clients' homes as a freelance makeup artist and personal assistant, where reliability, cleanliness, discretion, and respect for people's homes are essential. I bring those same qualities to every house-sitting and pet-care visit. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy pet and a home that's exactly as you left it. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to work around your pet's routine rather than the other way around. Whether it's early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening cuddles, or overnight stays, I'm happy to help. I also understand that plans can change, so I'll do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big deal. I'll treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll follow your routines closely, keep doors and gates secure, clean up after myself (and your pet!), and make sure your furry family member gets plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're happy and in good hands.

“Ellen was amazing! She stayed with our 2 large girls for 12 days and took amazing care of them. She was very communicative on any day to day activities, changes, she kept us very informed. She left our home spotless and even did some cleaning for us so our return home was smoother. Would definitely book with her again!”

“Wow—we absolutely love Christina! From the very first message, her communication was outstanding. She took the time to come over for a meet-and-greet, and our furry family adored her immediately. Christina has such a calm, kind, and friendly presence, and we felt completely at ease welcoming her into our home. The daily photo updates were such a joy to receive and showed our crew happy, relaxed, and comfortably settled in all their favorite spots—exactly what every pet parent hopes for while traveling. Our home was left clean, tidy, and just as we had left it, which we truly appreciated. Christina is a gem, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and truly wonderful pet sitter. We’ve already booked her for another sit! Thank you Christina!”

“Amy did an amazing job house sitting for our two dogs! They can be pretty energetic and always enjoy their walks, and Amy handled them with patience, care, and confidence. It was clear they were happy, well exercised, and well loved while we were away. She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. We also came home to a house that was in excellent condition, which we really appreciated. Amy was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

About: I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and have three cats of my own, including one that's about to be 6 years old. I also previously had two dogs and have years of experience caring for family members' dogs while they're away on week-long vacations. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer with a local cat rescue, where I've worked with cats of all ages and personalities. I'm comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes, administering oral medications if needed, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m also available for house-sitting excluding Tues/Thursday evenings starting August 24th due to my class schedule! In addition, I can commute to Napa as I regularly go into town! I always follow each pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress while you're away. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks or clean litter boxes, and lots of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pets, and follow any special instructions, including medications, feeding schedules, or house rules. I'm happy to send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“This is now my 3rd booking with Kristen. She’s extremely professional, good with my crazy dog, and always has open communication and constant pictures. I never worry when Zuri is in her care. Thank you so much!”

“Kiet was a HUGE lifesaver, and came in to save the day last minute. Our older pup has been having some anxiety following the 4th of July festivities, and I couldn’t leave him alone while I went to work. That’s where Kiet comes in—he was able to hang out with my anxious senior pup while I was at work and I couldn’t be happier. Kiet was great with communication, and made sure all care notes for both pups were followed. Thank you Kiet for making sure Romeo (and Onyx) had some company these past few evenings.”

“Leaving your fur family behind is always a bit stressful, but Grace made it completely worry-free. She has such a natural, kind energy that our three dogs picked up on immediately. Usually, when we return home from a trip, our pups are practically climbing over us in a frantic greeting. This time? They were so relaxed and content that I’m honestly convinced they were a little disappointed to see us walk through the door instead of her! It is such a gift to find a sitter who doesn't just "watch" your pets, but truly connects with them. Grace is kind, attentive, and clearly has a huge heart for animals. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dogs like her own, look no further. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Allyson did a great job with 2 dogs and cat :) my smaller dog is particular about who he likes and he warmed up to her right away. She also did a great job with my older girl who takes a few medications and has some incontinence. Thanks, Allyson!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I don’t think there was a year in my life where I did not have a dog to help take care of! I have taken care of small dogs, medium dogs, and big dogs! We also had a lot of other animals while I was growing up. I’ve taken care of birds, fish, reptiles, and even rabbits. So I am happy to take care of other pets as well if you have them and we can talk prices! Depending on the needs of your pets, I will form my schedule around taking care of them! As of right now this is my main job but as soon as I find another job this will become something I do on the side for a passion hobby. I will always start by asking the owner of the pets to explain their needs and wants before implying anything that I would do on my own. (Customer needs and wants come first) I have fun playing with the animals dogs and cats alike. So if they have favorite toys if I am house sitting then I will let them have fun with that! If I am walking dogs I tend to keep a steady pace so that the dogs get good healthy exercise.

About: I've been the go-to sitter for my everyone in my circle of friends. I've been petsitting for 5 years. I've taken care of pets with medicinal needs such as diabetes, seizures and daily medication. I'm comfortable with most breeds; I've taken care of dogs as small as a Yorkshire Terrier to a dog as large as a Newfoundland. I work a 9-5 job, but if the home is close enough to where I work regularly, then i will stop by and check on the pets on my lunch. Outside of my work hours, I usually strive to keep their routines as close to their normal as possible. I typically send photos or updates throughout the day--either in the morning when we wake up and in the evening before bed--to provide the assurance mom and/or dad need for their babies. For cats, I typically make sure their litter boxes are cleaned out before bed, every night during my stay. To make sure the pets are comfortable with me, I usually like to request to see the pets a week before I am scheduled to watch them. For dogs: I will ask for the dog to be spayed or neutered. If the dog is reactive, I will not take them out on walks for both mine and the animal’s safety. However, like my own pet, I will designate a play time to help expend energy in the safety & familiarity of the home. For cats: it's really whatever the cat is comfortable with. I will make sure that they have a clean litter box every night. Regardless of pet, I make sure they are fed on time with fresh water available. To ensure a stress-free time while mom and/or dad are away, I am willing to adapt to cater to the pet's comfortability.

“We highly recommend Elenys for housesitting with a pup. She is a great communicator and cares a lot. When our dog needed a little extra attention while we were away, she was able to give him the time and comfort he needed.”
