House Sitting Carmel Valley

“Jordan is a wonderful sitter. She looked after my senior dog and followed all instructions and made sure he was cared for. She was respectful of our home and I appreciated the frequent updates and photos.”

“First time Rover user, first time pet owner. I was very apprehensive about leaving my kitten with a stranger, but with travel plans already booked, I joined Rover and searched for a sitter. Though Madeline did not have a ton of reviews, her rate was extremely competitive and the reviews she did have, were very positive. So I jumped into the deep end and am very glad I went with Madeline. She lived fairly close by so it was easy to do a meet/greet and drop off my keys with her. She was very personable and my kitten warmed up to her very quickly at the meet/greet. She followed through on all her commitments, showing up on time and providing exceptional care to my kitten. She provided daily updates along with pictures. When my travel plans changed, Madeline was right there to assist us with Stoner's care. I would highly, highly recommend Madeline to take care of your loved one while you are away. I plan on using her again in the very near future and I am glad to have found someone I can rely on to care for my kitten. THANK YOU so much Madeline!!!!”

“Chunli took excellent care of our samoyed, our kitty, and our home. She stayed in our home, brought in all our packages, left things very tidy, was reliable with communication, prompt, and wonderful to work with!”

“I can’t sing Michelle‘s praises enough. We were going abroad for about a week and had another sitter cancel at the last minute. Michelle followed up quickly, scheduled a meet and greet and agreed to sit our four pets while we were away. She is awesome. They warmed up to her so quickly, and she was communicative through both text and photos. We hope we can work again with you in the future, Michelle!”

About: What sets me apart is how much care and attention I give to each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn their age, personality, and daily routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I have experience with puppies and enjoy helping reinforce basic training like house routines, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and truly love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also make it a priority to keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. 🐾 I usually wake up around 5am to take the dogs out for their morning walks and that lasts about 30-60 minutes. Since I work from home most days, I sometimes take them for an afternoon walk if they are feeling very energetic. We have a little play ground we let them go to bring out their zoomies before coming back in. Around 4-5pm, we always go to the park close to our neighborhood to let our furry friends play with each other and socialize! In the days it rainy, we usually take a longer walk around the neighborhood. I care for pets by prioritizing their safety, routine, and overall well-being, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication administration, exercise needs, and any behavioral or medical considerations. I ensure pets have a clean, comfortable environment, fresh water at all times, and appropriate physical and mental stimulation.

“Luis was very professional and obviously took great care of my dogs while I was away! He sent frequent updates and photos were was much appreciated!”

“Manuela was wonderful. She was on time, kind, made our dog feel comfortable, took him on multiple walks and made sure he had all he needed to feel safe and happy while we were away. I would definitely recommend Manuela! Thank you for taking such great care of our dog!”

About: From walking my first childhood dog at 6 to caring for loved ones' dogs throughout my teens, I knew I loved pet care! I specialize in stubborn and/or hyperactive pups! I have walked dogs of all sizes and love getting to know each of their personalities. I am also an experienced photographer and would love to capture some frameable shots of your dog during a drop-in or walk! I have lived in San Diego for about 14 years now, so I am knowledgeable about all the best dog-walking trails/routes, especially in the Del Mar area! I can't wait to meet you and your pup :) I just graduated from UCLA and moved back home to San Diego, so I have a lot of newfound time on my hands! I am available throughout the day on weekdays and have no problems walking early in the morning or later at night. I recognize that all pets have different needs, wants, and personalities that warrant hyper-individualized care. I make specified folders for each dog I care for that list preferences, dos/dont's, and any other important information.

“Eliza was amazing with Hamachi. We recently adopted him and he has some separation anxiety. We wanted to go to a concert and it was our first time leaving him with a sitter. From the moment Eliza sat with him, he seemed at ease. Eliza is very personable, easy going, and caring. We enjoyed our date night knowing Hamachi was in good hands. We were running a little late coming home and Eliza stayed with him until we got back and was very flexible about it.”

About: I bring more than 25 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other pets, along with the perspective of a lifelong pet owner. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I've been in your shoes. Unlike sitters who are away for most of the day, I work remotely as a licensed professional counselor, so I'm home throughout the day to provide companionship, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Your pet won't just be checked on—they'll have someone present and attentive. My professional background has also strengthened the qualities that matter most in pet care: patience, reliability, communication, and the ability to understand individual needs. Every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like one of my own because I know they're family. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. As a licensed professional counselor who works remotely from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. My schedule allows me to accommodate walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one attention, ensuring your pet isn't left alone for extended periods. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love building relationships with each pet's unique personality. Whether your furry friend needs an energetic walk, a cozy companion while you're away, or simply someone to keep their routine consistent, I'm happy to provide loving, dependable care that gives you peace of mind. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and personality so I can provide care that's as consistent as possible with what they're used to. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and overall well-being, making sure they receive the attention they need while you're away. When pets stay in my home, they'll enjoy a clean, comfortable environment with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. My apartment community features beautiful walking trails, multiple walking paths, convenient pet waste stations, and a dog park all within walking distance, making it easy to provide frequent walks, outdoor time, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation. My goal is for every pet to feel happy, relaxed, and right at home while you're away.

“Eli was so great with Brew! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Brew was in good hands. He kept him active with hikes and was happy to give Brew company. Eli was timely and responsible and we will definitely use him again to help with Brew. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver who understands that pets are family. I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, including dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, administering routines, companionship, and in-home care while owners are away. I have experience dog and cat sitting in owners’ homes and can provide referrals. I’m highly conscientious, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs—whether that means walks, playtime, sticking to feeding schedules, medications/routines, lots of love, or simply keeping them company and comfortable. I know how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your furry family member. I’ll treat your pets with kindness, patience, and the same level of care I’d want for my own. I generally try to keep my weekends open for long term dog sitting work I already do. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have a flexible work at home schedule and available to visit your pet several times per day and take for walks or dog beach. Happy to spend time cuddling and scratching, feeding, or playtime. When I visit your home, I'll be happy to entertain your pet at your place or take out for walks. Plenty of snuggle and play time with refills on water, food, etc.

“Nicole did an excellent job of taking care of our two Great Danes! She showed up on time and spent the entire day with them while we were away. And she sent us updates & photos a few times. We'll definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of family and friends pets for 10+ years! I am comfortable with any kind of pet, from German Shepherds all the way down to Boston Terriers. I love hanging out with animals (more than people sometimes), and would love to take care of yours! Bonus: I am a self proclaimed professional tug of war player 🏆 Anytime outside of 830-6 on weekdays, and anytime on the weekends - my weekday hours can be very flexible too depending on the day and the needs for your pet(s) :) Making sure they’ve been fed and given water when needed, that they can play when they want to play, and that their unique needs are met!

“Very communicative. I received daily photos and videos. The pups seemed happy and our youngest found a lap to lay on. Bob played with both dogs and seemed to really start to learn their personalities”

“This was our first time leaving our fairly energetic Westin terrier/poodle mix, Mila with someone other than a family member. Kaylan did a wonderful job, sending multiple pictures every day of their outings. In a week they were at Fiesta island 3 or 4 times, which requires a bath after each visit due to Mila’s digging, rolling in the sand and dirt, etc. Kaylan also took her to the dog park, restaurants and many neighborhood walks. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

About: I have taken care of 5 dogs of my own in my lifetime. I'm a responsible owner that likes to cater to my dogs' needs, I prioritize walks for a healthy lifestyle, and I like to play with dogs a well. My dogs are always happy and full of love. I'm currently in University remotely, so I spend most days at home with my two dogs. I would be more than happy to take care of another friend and have fun playdates with the dogs, I have a park near me and usually take my dogs on potty breaks very often. I live in a dog-friendly apartment building, the space is fair for dogs to be running around between rooms as well as their assigned beds, dogs will also have access to be on furniture, and will have snacks for when returning from potty breaks. As I said before, there is a park a block away so walks are guaranteed.

“This was my first time leaving my doggy for a long trip and I am so thankful I hired Stephanie!! She was amazing in all ways- she kept my worries at ease with constant communication, photos, and attentiveness to all my concerns and notes for my dog. I felt that she really bonded with my pup and treated her as if she were her own with tons of love. My dog was so thrilled with her. She also left my place spotless clean. I would hire her back in a second and recommend her to anyone !”

“Sam is absolutely amazing! She cared for my dog Spaghetti like he was her own, and when I came back, he didn’t even want to leave her. He was happily exhausted and clearly so loved. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
