House Sitting Cornell

“There are too many good things to say about Adeline and the care she provided to our home — and most importantly, our animals! She communicates through text and picture, which provided such great comfort during our time away. It was clear when we got home that our animals were loved on and well cared for.. it seemed like we were never gone. Oh! And she left the house in amazing condition. I highly recommend Adeline.”

“Gaia stayed in our home for two and a half days. She was responsible, and attentive, and she followed all of our instructions and house rules exactly as requested. I especially appreciated that she communicated with us and asked permission before making any changes to our original agreement. That level of respect, reliability, and professionalism gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Gaia with both our pets and our home again, and we would be very happy to hire her in the future.”

About: I bring a unique combination of experience, maturity, reliability, and genuine affection for animals to every house sit. As an experienced sitter with TrustedHousesitters, a longtime business owner, and a former mayor, I've spent much of my life earning people's trust and taking responsibility seriously. I especially enjoy extended stays, where pets can maintain their familiar routines and receive consistent companionship, affection, exercise, and attentive care. I'm active, health-conscious, and love getting outdoors, making me a great companion for dogs who enjoy walks and adventures. I'm equally happy providing a calm, nurturing environment for pets who prefer a slower pace. I also understand that inviting someone into your home requires tremendous trust. I'm exceptionally respectful of people's property, attentive to details, and committed to leaving every home as beautiful as I found it. My goal is simple: happy, well-loved pets, a beautifully cared-for home, and complete peace of mind while you're away. When I'm pet sitting, my routine is scheduled around the needs of the pets I care for. I care for myself in the spaces in between. I'm mostly retired so I do a little internet in the morning and some exploring and exercise midday. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I believe animals thrive when their familiar routines are maintained, so I take the time to understand each pet's personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before you leave. When caring for pets in your home, I provide a calm, attentive, and loving presence while respecting their established environment. I'm conscientious about securing doors and gates, maintaining a clean and safe space, and ensuring pets receive plenty of companionship, exercise, playtime, and affection—all tailored to their individual needs. Communication is equally important. I'm happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family members are happy and well cared for. As an experienced house sitter, longtime business owner, and former mayor, I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail. I treat every home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own. **My goal is simple: happy pets, a secure and beautifully maintained home, and complete peace of mind while you're away.**

“Carolina was incredibly kind, reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. She took excellent care of my senior dog (who can be quite the handful) and I will definitely hire Carolina again in the future.”

“Krista took such amazing care of our 130 lb dog while we were out of town. She didn’t just “watch” him, she truly loved on him, played with him, and treated him with so much kindness and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed, tail-wagging dog says everything about the care he received. She also watered our plants, kept us updated with lots of pictures, and went above and beyond by watercoloring a beautiful portrait of our dog as a parting gift. It was incredibly thoughtful and meaningful. Krista is dependable, caring, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets and home.”

“We had Austin housesit with our pet Ollie, for 5 days while we were on vacation. He was very sweet to our dog and provided the loving presence we desired for her in our absence. We will certainly hire him on our future vacations and will recommend him to our family members and friends.”

“Michael provided excellent care to our two cats, especially our senior cat who has some odd eating habits. Our very shy cat warmed up to him fast! He sent pictures and updates every day and took great care of our house as well. I definitely recommend Michael’s services.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life! From raising my own Toy Fox Terrier and German Shepherd, to helping friends with both playful puppies and sweet seniors. Many families on Rover trust me again and again, and I’m grateful for the wonderful reviews I’ve received. That’s because I treat every dog like family. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their parents are away. Dogs with separation anxiety quickly relax with me, as I know how to ease their stress with play, walks, and gentle reassurance. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing your pup is in loving hands, with consistent updates, photos, and videos to keep you connected. For me, this isn’t just a job.. it’s something I genuinely love doing! I currently work part time (coach tennis) and have a very flexible schedule where I am home most of the day. Weekdays and weekends I am very available throughout the day. I blanket my couches to allow the dogs more comfortable resting places. I like to take the dogs to the nearby fenced dog park to get exercise and regularly go on walks for potty breaks and exploration. They will feel comfortable, relaxed and happy when staying with me.

“Emma did a great job taking care of our dog Sadie. She was very calm with Sadie and gave her a lot of affection. Sadie liked her right away. Emma also has a lot of experience taking care of dogs. We knew Sadie was in good hands while we were away.”

About: I've grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. From tiny Chihuahuas to large, energetic Pit Bulls, I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I've learned how important it is to understand each dog's individual temperament, energy level, and daily routine. Whether your dog needs long walks, plenty of playtime, or a little extra patience and attention, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and care that I would give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own cats for over seven years, I'm very accustomed to building my schedule around the needs of animals. I enjoy spending time with pets and am happy to accommodate their established routines, whether that means morning walks, scheduled feedings, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your pet, especially in your own home, is a big decision, and it's a responsibility I take seriously. My priority is always making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's personality, routines, and individual needs, and I'm comfortable administering medications or following specialized care instructions. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'm especially mindful of maintaining their familiar environment and respecting the owner's space. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, careful about following instructions, and always happy to provide photos and updates for your peace of mind. Above all, I treat every animal with the same patience and affection I give my own.

“Taylor took great care of my two chihuahuas and home while my husband and me were gone for the holidays. We so appreciated her availability on Christmas! The dogs seemed happy when we returned and the house was in good order.”

About: Caring for animals has been second nature to me since childhood. Over the years, my experience has spanned far beyond standard pet care- I've raised and cared for everything from dogs and cats to ferrets, bunnies, goats, pigs, and chickens. That diverse hands-on background taught me how to read animal body language, manage different temperaments, and handle daily routines with patience and confidence. Today, our home is a true animal-loving environment. We share our space with our sweet rescue dog, Valentina Bella, whom we welcomed into our family nearly two years ago. My two children have grown up sharing that same respect and gentle affection for animals, making our house a warm, nurturing second home. Expect to have a safe, calm environment: Your pet's comfort and routine come first. We prioritize safety, clear boundaries, and saree-free transitions. Attentive Care & Exercise: Whether your dog loves neighborhood walks, active playtime, or just lounging nearby while receiving gentle affection, their daily needs will be met. Consistent Communication: I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. You can count on regular updates, notes, and photos throughout their stay. Comfort with All Personalities: From outgoing social butterflies to rescues that need a little extra time and patience to feel secure, we know how to meet animals where they are. Because we already share our home with our own rescue dog, a steady, dependable pet routine is second nature to our household. My schedule allows for dedicated time before, during, and after work/school hours to give dogs the exercise and care they need. Mornings begin with breakfast and a solid walk to burn off energy before the day starts. During the day, our setup ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended for extended periods. Evenings and weekends are completely centered around family and pets - featuring long neighborhood walks, play sessions, and calm downtime. We treat pet care as a priority and make sure visiting guests receive the exact same consistency, affection, and structure as our own dog. Safety is top priority. We start with a mandatory meet-and-greet to ensure compatible temperaments before any stay. Inside our pet-proofed, secure home, visiting pets are closely supervised, and slow, respectful introductions are always practiced. With years of experience managing diverse animals and rescues, I am vigilant about body language and routine boundaries. Your dog will never be left unattended with other pets or children without direct supervision. When walked, pets are always securely leashed. You'll receive prompt daily photos and honest updates so you always know your pet is secure and comfortable.

About: Please note I am not in Calabasas I can’t get Rover to update- I am in the Culver City area! I’ve stepped down from my corporate role and am now changing it up to work with animals. My husband and I are parents to: 4 cats, 6 budgies, and 2 snakes. My senior dogs have since passed but we had a maltipoo and a shi-poo. I miss them terribly! I want to spend time caring for your babies while you are on vacation or just busy with life. I prefer seniors and smaller dogs. I have experience with basic veterinary care, horses, and some fish, birds and reptiles. I am also studying animal Reiki and equine bodywork. I am great at administering meds to dogs and cats, including insulin, fluid and pills. I’m willing to do overnight for the right clients. Thanks! Jody I can fill in in short notice such as feeding or turning on lights. I can make early or late night visits. I prefer daylight walks but will consider evenings by neighborhood. I never use my headphones or talk on the phone when I walk, as I prefer to stay alert at all times and focused on the task. I am unable to care for pets in my own home and prefer not to visit dog parks. I will consider transportation from groomer or doggie day care for the right client. I will feed fish, snakes and reptiles depending on the species. I am able to change birds food and water.

“Hailey is a wonderful Petsitter. She took care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat, staying overnight at our house for 4 nights. She made sure the dogs had fun in the backyard and pool, and gave all 3 furries plenty of cuddles. Frequent communication via text with photos and video. Highly recommend Hailey!”

“Hilda was a dream come true for us & most importantly for Jack Jack, our Great Dane / German Shepherd mix. It was our first time using Rover, and she eased all of our nerves and concerns with immediate responses, pictures and videos of Jack and his progress. She not only took care of our dog, she improved his demeanor, behavior, and his reactivity. He is a much calmer and more confident dog because of Hilda. I know he misses her so much since we've returned home. When we got home, our house was clean, and his energy was so calm. We THANK YOU Hilda for loving our boy like he was your own, and taking the time to bond with him, and walk him and train him. We are so impressed with the care and attention you gave him, and hope you'll consider booking with us again the next time we need to leave town. You will not regret booking with Hilda - she is amazing! I trust her completely with the care of our dogs and our home - you will be in great capable hands with Hilda.”

About: I have always enjoyed being around animals ever since I was a little kid. I have owned and cared for rabbits, dogs, fish, turtles and parakeets. I work full time as an educator so most of the year I am only available weekends. However I am currently available during weekdays due to spring break. I would be happy to care for your pet in my home or at your home if that is your preference. I have one dog at home which would be kept in a different area.
