House Sitting in California

“So grateful for Lucas and the excellent care he took of Thunder while housesitting for us! He sent lots of photos and we were reassured he was taking great care of Thunder & holding down the fort. I don’t think Thunder missed us at all because of all the attention he got. Will definitely hire Lucas again!! Thanks again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my adaptability and genuine love for dogs of all temperaments. Having grown up with dogs, I’m comfortable meeting the needs of both high-energy pups who thrive on long walks and active play, as well as laid-back dogs who prefer quiet companionship. Whether it’s exercise, cuddle time, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I tailor my care to match each dog’s personality so they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Currently, I’m a graduate student looking to fill my free time meeting new furry friends. I will have availability some mornings and afternoons, as well as most evenings and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I give my own, always aiming to leave it better than I found it. I’m organized and clean, making sure feeding areas and toys are tidy, and I follow your instructions closely to meet your pet’s needs. I stay attentive and mindful so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment.

“Megan was AMAZING! We had some issues with travel and she was more than helpful. I was able to completely enjoy my trip without stressing about the dogs. They’re a lot and she really did better than I could have imagined. This was my first time using Rover so I wasn’t sure how things would go but I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Danielle did a great job house and cat sitting. She asked questions for clarification, sent us updates regularly, and left the house in great shape. From the photos, it seems our cat was really comfortable with her and Elle took the time to get to know our cat’s personality. She will be sitting for us again and I highly recommend her.”

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own animals for about a year now, which includes a puppy and three cats. I’ve worked on crate training my puppy as well as general care and maintenance of all my pets. I would love to look after your animals when I’m not working or at school - giving them all the time, love, and comfort in the world. In my client’s home, I will work on making sure we have established boundaries of taking your animal out and what routines need to be maintained while I look after your animals.

“Great job!!! Thanks Bree”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since before I can remember and I watch my parents dogs on trips quite often. I also watch other friends dogs as well as I’ve done some overnight house sitting! I am a nurse part time and doing online school. I have two dogs of my own but can stay overnight at your house if needed! I work nights so getting up with puppies and what not does not bother me one bit. I am available to watch overnight as well as during the week. I am willing to do medications as well as walks and play time! I usually can let the dogs out by 3-4 hours max!

About: I grew up on a farm so I've always been around animals! That ranging from, cows, horses, goats, many dogs, cats, bird and guinea pigs! I love all animals and treat them like my own. I currently work a full-time job. I will be able to provide enough time for your animals and give them the love and attention they require. I live on a 20 acre farm that has plenty of room to run and play! I also have two dogs myself that love all the attention I'm able to give them.

“Michaela did a wonderful job with our dogs. She gave us updates and we felt very comfortable her staying at our house. Our dogs seemed very comfortable when we came home. We will definitely book her again.”

About: I have taken care of pets all my life! I grew up with multiple dogs in the house (and some cats) and have always been obsessed with animals! I’ve even fostered the last couple years and gotten to know a plethora of breeds and temperaments! I currently work part-time and would have plenty of time to prioritize your pet! I would include them in everything I do and always inform you of our every move. I have a back yard and a car if transportation of your pet is needed. I have multiple rooms where your furry friend can choose to be on a couch with company or in his crate by himself.

About: CPR & First Aid certified, with 3 years as a pet care tech. Dog Handler Academy grad, plus Tons of Fetch certified—professional, trained, and passionate.

But I’m also able to keep them separated, if need to be!😁🐾

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals since I was a kid, and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a beloved member of our family for 12 wonderful years, and since then we have welcomed three more pups into our lives. One of them is my own, Nala, a pitbull mix who is truly my entire world. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including geriatric dogs and those needing regular medication. In addition to dogs, I’ve had rabbits since I was 11. My current bunny, Minnette, will be 14 this August after losing her bonded partner in 2021. I’ve also regularly cat sat for friends and family and am comfortable with feline care. Over the years I’ve rescued many dogs and volunteered at the Animal Protective Association, also known as APA, in St. Louis where I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments. I have a particular interest in dog body language and behavior. I love learning how to make animals feel safe, understood, and happy. Whether your pet is playful, shy, elderly, or energetic, I will be attentive to their unique needs and treat them like family. I just graduated college at Mizzou, and am taking a gap year before I begin graduate school next fall! This means I have plenty of time and my schedule is wide open to care for your pets. <3 I have always been an avid animal lover-- not even just dogs, but all sorts of pets! I have had my bunny since she was 1 year old and I was 11, and she is now about to turn 14 next month! I have also had dogs since I was 7 years old! I grew up with my childhood dog, Louie for 12 years. Now, I have my own dog, Nala. I have had her for about 3 years now, and I consider myself to be a helicopter parent (ask anyone haha)! With that being said, I am ALWAYS paying attention to details, instructions, and am very vigilant about making sure your pet is getting everything they need. As I do with my own pets, I will give that same attention and dedication to yours!

About: Hi, I’m Hailea! I’m 21 years old. I have been pet sitting on and off for a few years now! I have taken care of all kinds of dogs. I have dog sat a dog consistently that required medication at certain times, so I do have some experience in that! I also watched 8 new puppies at once! And I have 2 cats of my own! I love animals and would love to help out the best I can! I work weekdays from 9-5 but I am available anytime after or before that or even on a lunch break. I’m off Saturday’s and Sundays so I am available any time on the weekends! I care for pets in my clients home by feeding, walking, and playing with the pets! If there are special instructions on medications, food, walk, etc., I will do what the client requests!

“She was great with our fur babies! Lots of updates and pictures and communication! Will be repeat customers any time we need a sitter!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the way I care for your pets like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience with animals of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies just learning the ropes, to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m comfortable with giving medications, adjusting routines for older pets, and helping with basic puppy training like crate time and leash walking. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs and personality, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or just quiet company, I’m there to make sure they’re happy and stress-free. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—living in the country with my family, animals are truly at the heart of our routine. We have a spacious, fenced outdoor area where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Our own crew includes a friendly dog, three playful cats, a curious bunny, and some happy chickens—so we’re used to all kinds of personalities and care needs. My two children absolutely love giving gentle “lovins” and playtime to our furry (and feathered) guests, and they’re always excited to welcome new animal friends into the mix. Whether it’s making sure a senior dog gets their meds or helping a puppy burn off energy, we approach every day with patience, kindness, and genuine joy for what we do. Caring for animals fits right into our family rhythm—it’s not just part of our schedule, it’s part of who we are. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. We live in the country with plenty of fresh air, room to roam, and a fully fenced outdoor space where dogs can play safely and freely. Inside, pets have cozy spots to relax and are never left feeling isolated—whether it’s curling up on the couch or enjoying quiet time away from the action if they prefer. We follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—mealtimes, potty breaks, walks, medication, and cuddle time are all handled with care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zone. I make sure their daily routine is kept consistent and stress-free, from feeding and potty breaks to walks and companionship. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying overnight, I keep communication open with photo updates and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed—whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs.

About: During my time pet sitting, I have cared for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications when needed, and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and exercise. One memorable experience was caring for a senior Border Collie who required daily medication and gentle walks. I followed the owner’s instructions carefully, ensuring the dog was comfortable and sticking to their routine. I also kept the owner updated with daily photos and messages. Additionally, I have experience handling energetic pets that require extra playtime and patience. Whether it’s taking dogs on long walks, engaging in interactive play with cats, or simply providing companionship, I ensure that pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time and flexibility. I try to work around my clients schedule to the best of my ability! When it comes to pet sitting, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I ensure that every pet is cared for in a secure and familiar setting, following their routine to minimize stress. Trust is key—I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, regular updates, and open communication with owners. I also create a positive environment by giving pets plenty of affection, exercise, and mental stimulation, ensuring they feel happy and at ease while their owners are away. With me, your pet is in safe, loving hands.

“Hayden took excellent care of our dogs and was very respectful of our home. He is very appreciative of the work offered.”
