House Sitting Carmichael

About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. I understand that every animal is unique, with their own routines, preferences, and ways of communicating. I am a mature, compassionate, and responsible professional employed full-time with the State of California. My background also includes many years in education, leadership, and positions requiring a high level of trust, patience, and attention to detail. I have also 20+ years of house/petting sitting experience. My approach to pet care is grounded in kindness, attentiveness, consistency, and respect. I believe animals thrive when they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether your pet enjoys energetic walks, playful companionship, quiet affection, or simply having someone nearby, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable and happy. I am especially interested in overnight and extended house-sitting opportunities. I understand how important it is to know that your beloved animals and home are being cared for while you're away. I treat each home with respect and every pet with the same tenderness and consideration I give my own. I am happy to provide regular updates and photographs, follow established feeding and care routines, and accommodate reasonable special requests. My goal is simple: to give you genuine peace of mind and help your pets feel secure, content, and loved until you return. I currently work in the office, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (general 8 hour day with flexibility) and Wednesdays I work remote. Saturdays and Sundays I'm available all day. I'm a home centered person, so I'll have plenty of time to give companionship and play. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I believe that animals feel most secure when they are surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines, which is why I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own homes. With more than 25 years of house and pet-sitting experience, I understand the importance of providing a safe, peaceful, and nurturing environment while respecting each pet's individual personality and needs. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications when applicable, exercise, household routines, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to your pet's behavior, appetite, comfort, and overall well-being, and I take care to keep doors, gates, and other potential hazards secure. I treat every home with the same respect and consideration I would want for my own. I maintain a clean and orderly environment, respect your privacy and belongings, and ensure your home is secure throughout your absence. Communication is especially important to me. I am happy to provide regular updates, photographs, and reassurance so you can feel connected to your pets while you're away. As a full-time State of California employee, I maintain a dependable professional schedule and am especially well suited for pets who are comfortable with their owners working during the day. I provide attentive care before and after work, overnight companionship, and additional time together on weekends. Above all, I want you to return home to happy, relaxed pets and a home that has been lovingly and responsibly cared for.

About: I have had dogs ever since I could remember. I can bathe, walk, run, feed, and relax with your pets! I have taken care of pets for family, neighbors and even customers at my work rely on me for feeding and relaxing with their dogs! I am familiar with taking care of young puppies and older senior pups! I am very willing to learn routines and understand your pet(s)! I’m currently working part-time and full-time school. Don’t worry! I still have tons of time to care and play with your pups and kitties! On Mondays and Wednesdays I can meet with your pet anytime after 12:30pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays (occasionally Sundays; please contact me if needed) I can provide care after 3pm. Saturdays and Sundays I can provide services early mornings, nothing past 10:30am. If needed house-sitting/overnight sitting, please contact me and I can help figure out a time that works for both parties! In other clients homes, I provide a calm environment until the pet opens up to me and engages for play, food, or relaxation. I am familiar with strict feeding routines and strict times for potty or outside play and walks. I am willing to learn more and understand what each pet needs.

“Caroline was great with all our pets! She came by in advance to meet everyone and helped us out with a last minute booking. She did a great job with a mix of our higher energy large dog and chill cats. She was super kind and responsive during her stay, and we’ve already booked her again for another weekend - would totally recommend her for watching dogs and cats ! :)”

“Thank you Raina. You did a wonderful job taking care of my animals. My Bearded Dragon looked well loved and well exercised. That took patience on your part! Thank you for dealing with a senior dog.”

“Angela continues to knock it out of the park! We went on a longer trip- she sent daily updates and when we returned our dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well taken care of!”

About: With an energetic pup of my own, I am no stranger to the needs of fur babies. Consistency is key when it comes to pet care and training. I will make sure your pup(s) get plenty of exercise with a walk around your local neighborhood. Each pet is unique and I will be certain to cater to your individual pet’s needs. But no matter what, I will be certain that each pet gets the same loving care as if they were one of my own. I am currently very flexible in my schedule so I can offer walks or drop ins for potty breaks and daily enrichment or house sitting for more comprehensive care for your pet when you’re away! I would love to check on your fur baby if you're busy so they don't get lonely! Personally, I have my own rambunctious pup named Lila who loves treats, walks, and attention. I would treat your dog like my own in care and affection!

“Kaeli did a wonderful job with our fur babies!!! She provided many updates as we mentioned we loved photos and message updates, she gave our dogs great walks and took excellent care of our home! We wanted an honest person with a heart for dogs and this is certainly Kaeli!! We will absolutely be using her again!”

“Gabriela was great with my puppy. It was so nice being able to leave her at the hotel and not worry. I will definitely recommend her to everyone I know.”

“Cheyenne was great! She was really on top of communicating and sent many cute pictures of Bambi while we were away to reassure us that Bambi was being well taken care of. She really went above and beyond. I would definitely book her again!”

About: Welcome to my profile! Hope you find what you’re lookin for. ❤️🐶 I have been a pet lover all my life and I've spent countless personal hours learning about our furry friends.. from physiology to behavioral sciences. I've trained and cared for every family dog that has passed through my home, which has given me in-depth experience with both young, old, and special needs pets. I am confident in my ability to care for your pet, big and small. You will find my hours extremely flexible, Mon-Fri: ANYTIME! Weekends: Negotiable (I am often volunteering at this time, but send me a message and I'll see what we can work out!) My own doggy gets fed and walked twice a day. I use a Redirect and Reenforce method that keeps dogs happy while maintaining good behavior. I keep safety in mind at all times, for example: never wearing headphones while outside with a pet- both animals and people can be unpredictable! Well versed with dog park etiquette if that is something you are interested in. If someone starts to get aggressive, we bounce!

“Brooke was an exceptional house sitter who loved our animals! She was attentive, present and made them feel loved. We will have her sit again for sure!”

Ashlie B.

“Shelby was amazing with our dog! He gets nervous around new people so we had a few little meet ups for him to be introduced to her before house sitting, which was very appreciated and definitely helped him warm up to her! She would update me frequently and send a lot of pictures throughout our trip. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet sitting needs and recommend her! Thank you, Shelby!”

Brennah S.

“Anna stayed with my two dogs for a full-day house sitting. She was on time and texted when she arrived so I knew they weren’t alone. Anna sent numerous photos throughout the day and kept in touch. She even sent photos of their lunch that she made. (They’re spoiled with homemade lunches) I checked in a couple times because I’m as needy as the dogs and she was quick to respond. She also took them for a walk before it got too hot. We set up a meet and greet before the house sitting and she was on time, courteous, and friendly with my dogs right away. I will definitely use her again to sit with my dogs.”

“Madison is an absolute angel - she stayed at our place overnight & took care of our 3 month old aussiedoodle puppy in the throes of teething & potty training. A pleasure to work with, & we look forward to continue using her outstanding services!”

“Had a great experience with Meredith! I got daily pics of my happy pup and the house was spotless when I got back. Will definitely ask Meredith to sit again.”

About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and previously cared for my cat for many years. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained experience with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention or comfort. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’ll treat yours with the same patience, love, and care I would give my own. I attend college fully online, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. Your pet will receive consistent care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and walks. Because I attend college fully online, I’m home most of the time and can provide frequent bathroom breaks, exercise, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my own dogs will always be kept completely separate from any pets in my care. They will never be in the same room or have direct contact. This allows me to provide a calm, safe environment while giving your pet my full attention and ensuring every animal remains comfortable.

“Rebekah did a wonderful job caring for our dogs. We had some caterpillars show up unexpectedly and she was able to take care of getting them set up, with no problems. Thanks again Rebekah!”

Korilynn F.

“It was our first time leaving our dog for over a week and Aubrey was awesome! We went from being nervous about finding somewhere to board him or have a sitter and she instantly made us feel confident he would be well taken care of. She was very responsive, gave updates, and photos of our big guy. Our dog doesn't trust most people but he instantly warmed up to her when they met. If I could give you 10 stars I would, thank you Aubrey!”

Austin S.

“Donna has stayed with our dogs before, and they are happy when she is here, which is extremely important. This time she also cared for my daughter's dog and did great with him. We definitely recommend her.”

About: Ive taken care of/had animals my entire life! I’ve had over 5 dogs throughout my life, as well as 4 cats. I most recently rescued a cat named Macey, who I adore. I fostered her (like I also do for other animals when I have the opportunity), and took care of her until she was adopted out by a loving family. I also fostered a precious little pup named Prince, who recently was adopted by his forever home as well. I love taking care of them, playing with them, and getting to know their personalities. You can trust your furry son or daughter in my hands! :) I’m currently working from home as an insurance agent. My schedule is wide open, and I’m available for walking, daycare and boarding! I offer some house sitting if it’s local :) Mostly during the week, but also some weekends. I live on a small property, in a unit, so unfortunately there is not a personal yard of my own. But just a block away is a huge park that I love to take pups to run around, and stretch their legs frequently throughout the day. My neighborhood is perfect for long walks, full of people who are pet friendly as well. In my home, your pup will be free to lounge around on my furniture, bed and floor and play whereever their heart desires. I do require each pet to have a crate left with them in case of emergencies. Your furry baby will get lots of love from me during his/her stay. I provide snacks and water through the day! Your pet must be potty trained, and will have custom potty breaks to each little ones needs :) I currently work from home, and spend almost all of my days accompanied by my little furry friends. Animals are a huge passion of mine, and they take priority in my life. I care for each pet I come across, with respect and love. I know that every pet is someone's child...and I would treat them exactly as I would treat my own kids. You can trust them in my care.
