House Sitting Chorro

“Theodrick (Tod) did a great job of caring our two large dogs. He stayed at our house for a few days and everything went smoothly. We would hire him again.”

“Really enjoyed meeting Joshuah. He stayed with Bentley at our house for 5 days and we felt very comfortable and confident leaving our dog in his care. Communication was great and Bentley was clearly comfortable with him. Also left the house very neat and tidy! We hope to have Joshuah stay with Bentley again.”

About: I’ve had two large dogs for over 10 years and trained both of them. One is easygoing, while the other is anxious, so I’ve learned to adapt to his needs with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I also have over 10 years of private childcare experience, which has included caring for a variety of family pets. I’m a full-time student with a light class schedule and lots of availability for pet care. I’m generally free Friday through Sunday, plus Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. My flexible routine also makes me a great fit for recurring walks, drop-ins, or regular care. I live in a small townhome that is comfortable for pets, and I’m a big walker with plenty of favorite local routes for exercise and enrichment. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions closely. If your dog enjoys socializing, I also have an option for supervised time with a friendly dog at a friend’s home.

“Marli is amazing! Just to provide some context, I’ve only left my fur baby one time with a non-family member in the past year, and only for a couple of hours. This was going to be a first for both of us, as I was going to be away for the whole evening. Not only did Marli arrive exactly on time, but she came prepared to stay a while and made me feel super comfortable leaving her with my fur baby. Throughout the evening, I got texts and pictures to update me, which was super appreciated and thoughtful on her part. I cannot think of a more caring and capable sitter for my baby girl- thank you, Marli!! You’ve now raised the bar for everyone else. :)”

About: I am a college graduate who has been surrounded by dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens for as long as I can remember. Every family pet came home the same way — as an 8‑week‑old puppy or kitten — and grew up under my care. I personally raised and trained three large‑breed dogs: Argo, Bullmastiff; Lilly, Newfoundland; and Farley, my Labradoodle, who came with me to college and has been my best friend until he passed. Diesel, my Bulldog, was raised right alongside them — just built on a smaller scale. Most recently, based in Honolulu, Hawai'i, I cared for my cat, Thunder, a Ragdoll–Maine Coon mix better known as "Mr. Aloha," and Zeus, before relocating to San Luis Obispo County, where I now lives with her partner, Cameron. I grew up on the water and love marine life for as long as I've loved animals on land — I am happiest when I'm taking care of pets. I have CPR certification, and like to spend my free time outdoors, on the water, preferably with a dog at my side. My schedule is flexible and fits easily around your plans. Whether you're traveling for a weekend or several weeks, I'm available when you need me I know the importance of taking care of pets in their own environment, where they feel safest and most relaxed. Whenever possible, I like doing an in-person, meet-and-greet so your pet can get used to me while you're there- allowing them to feel trust and safe; otherwise, a Zoom is a great way to get up to speed on your expectations. Once I'm caring for them, I stick closely to your exact routine, whether that's meals, meds, or favorite playtime habits. I'll send plenty of photo updates, so you always have peace of mind that your fur baby is being well taken care of.

About: Hi, I’m Owen! 🐾 I’ve had dogs and other pets since I was a kid, and caring for animals has always been something I love. I have experience pet-sitting dogs and cats, as well as taking care of houseplants. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, or simply relaxing and getting some attention, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own, and I’ll make sure your home is respected, too. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐶🐱 I’m currently a college student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, so my availability varies around my class schedule. I do my best to plan ahead and communicate clearly with pet owners to make sure their pets receive plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to coordinate visits, walks, and pet-sitting around my schedule, and I can discuss my availability in advance, including weekends. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Having grown up around dogs and other pets, I understand the importance of following their routines and paying attention to their individual needs. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, are fed according to their usual schedules, and receive appropriate exercise and attention. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet is supervised appropriately. I want you to feel confident that your pet is in caring and responsible hands while you’re away.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 19 years of hands-on experience caring for them. Growing up, we often had two dogs at a time, so I helped with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing daily care from a young age. I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the week. I volunteer Monday afternoons at The Marine Mammal Center, but I'm otherwise available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. While I have a few weekends already committed, I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit both our schedules. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I believe every animal is different, and I always strive to create a calm, positive environment where they feel safe and cared for.

“Payton was awesome with taking care of our two pups for the day - one older, one younger. We really appreciated her communication and attention to detail with any meds or food/energy requirements.”

“Stephanie was the absolute best for these first time Rover users! She made sure they were comfortable and kept us informed throughout the day!”

About: Hello! I'm Regan, an Animal Science student at Cal Poly SLO with a lifelong love for animals. I've grown up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, fish, and chickens, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for animals. This has made me comfortable with pets of all different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs. Along with my personal experience, studying Animal Science has given me a stronger foundation in animal health, behavior, handling, and proper care. I'm extremely comfortable with feeding, walking, following medication instructions, maintaining routines, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I know that every pet is different, so I make an effort to learn their individual routines and personalities rather than treating every animal the same. I pay close attention to changes in behavior and well-being, and I'm very detail-oriented when following owner instructions to ensure you know your pet is in great hands while you're away. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets with the same attention, patience, and care that I give my own animals. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, and overnight care around my classes, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible. I spend a lot of my free time around animals already, so incorporating pet care into my day comes naturally to me. I’m also very organized with my schedule and will only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and any household rules or preferences. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure before letting pets outside or leaving the home. I understand that being trusted with both someone’s pet and their home is a big responsibility. I’m respectful of each client’s space and will always leave their home just as I found it. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being and will communicate with owners if I notice anything unusual. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Sophie was awesome! She was attentive and took good care of our sweet Aspen and our home while we were gone! Will definitely have Sophie again soon!!”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Jolie. I'm originally from the Bay Area, and I'm currently a senior at Cal Poly SLO. A little bit about my experience—I grew up with 4 dogs (2 Shiba Inus, a Malti-poo, and a German shepherd!) and my family and I also have two cats (a Scottish fold and a Tabby). I absolutely love animals, and I have experience dog sitting at clients' homes as well as providing dog walking services. I also help babysit my neighbor's cat when they are away! If you have any questions, please feel free to message me :) I'm pretty much free all day on Saturdays and Sundays! As for the week: - Mondays & Wednesday: Anytime after 7pm - Tuesday & Thursday: Anytime after 2:30pm - Friday: Anytime after 1pm Whether in my home or the client's home, safety is always important. Part of this is understanding the type of animal and age and understanding how these factors play into behavioral aspects. For example, if there is a younger pet, make sure there is nothing dangerous for them to find and potentially chew/eat on the floor. Overall, just understanding and taking into consideration that every pet is different/has different personalities, wants/needs, and ensuring they have everything they need (water, food, potty area, etc.)

About: I have a very diverse background in pet care. I grew up with a German Shorthaired Pointer and currently have a Blue Heeler, but my parents also have a French Bulldog so I deeply understand both the needs of high energy dogs and lower energy dogs. I have fostered dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, whose needs varied frequently, I have experience with small day old puppies, to older senior dogs. I have valuable experience in training and socializing dogs, I have put my own dog through training with multiple trainers that I have gotten to learn from, and use that knowledge to then train and socialize my foster puppies. I am currently a full time Animal Science student at Cal Poly, with most of my classes being in the mornings, making my schedule free on the weekends, Fridays before 11:30am and/or after 2pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays after 2pm, and varying availability Mondays and Wednesdays. I already go on multiple walks throughout the day and on the weekends I love to hike and go to the beach, all of which I would love to be able to take a pup on as well! I am able to work with pets in any fashion that fits the pet owners needs. I understand every pet differs, so I can take into account any special instructions and thoroughly follow them to keep your pet and home safe.

“Ysabel took excellent care of our anxious little pup. He curled up in her lap, napped, enjoyed treats, and felt safe and cared for. Ysabel asked all the right questions of us about his needs and routine, and she sent us photo updates during her time with him. Ysabel is a reliable, professional, and courteous sitter. We will absolutely ask her to dog sit for us again!”

“An absolute lovely person. Took great care of my dog, sent pictures, kept in touch while we were gone. Came back home to a happy, stress free dog.”

About: Over 10 years of professional dog walking and training experience! I am a HUGE animal enthusiast, with a special love for dogs! I have worked with troubled and rescued dogs and am skilled at helping them learn to trust and love again. I train as I walk, always using positive reinforcement. I am highly empathetic, with a willingness to be extra attentive and patient with your pet. I promise to bring professionalism and love! Chelsea My schedule is very flexible! Monday through Sunday, 6am-8pm throughout San Diego metro area. I am available for walks, pet visits *no restrictions. I am usually available on holidays! I look forward to walking and caring for your pets!! I have 2 cats and a dog so I usually do not host other animals in my home but occasionally a small dog works! :)

About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years and truly enjoy spending time with them. I lived with three dogs for over seven years, where I was responsible for their daily care, including feeding, walking, playtime, bath, and basic training. This experience taught me how to understand different personalities, build trust, and provide a safe, loving environment. I also lived with two cats for more than a year and helped leash-train one of them so they could safely enjoy outdoor adventures. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always adapt my care to their comfort level and routine. In addition, I cared for a family’s dog for an entire summer while they were away. We spent our days going on walks, visiting the beach, playing at the park, and enjoying plenty of quality time together. Making pets feel happy, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet loves long walks, active play, or simply relaxing with companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. I work full-time, but my flexible schedule allows me to take breaks throughout the day, ensuring your cat receives attentive, reliable care whenever needed. My spacious home provides plenty of room to relax, and my fully fenced backyard offers safe outdoor time with constant supervision and personalized care daily.

“Nereida did a great job taking care of Moose and Oliver, looking forward to her next stay with the boys.”

“Robyn was absolutely wonderful with Peggy. She went above and beyond to make sure Peggy was at ease while we were gone. She was on time and very communicative. It was such a relief when Peggy was absolutely excited to see Robyn the second day. Would 100% percent recommend Robyn! Thank you!!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cat for the last 7-8 years. They have been so good to us and we’ve enjoyed them more than I imagined. I have a business that I’ve owned for seven years and I’m able to make my own schedule. Also, my homeschooled kids are home and willing to help if I ever need it. I have done 20+ years of babysitting and childcare in my home and other peoples homes. Plus, I’ve had clients that I have worked for and have trusted me with their keys to their home for seven years.
