House Sitting Dougherty

“Jana came over for a meet and greet as was very attentive to my dogs needs and routine. She house sat for over a week, communicated well, sent lots of pics and updates which made us happy and we were able to enjoy our vacation to full extent. We would definitely use Jana again and recommend her.”

“Laura was fantastic. She cared for our dog like her own and made sure to give us great daily updates while we were out of the country. She even cleaned the house, which was amazing to come home to after a long trip. We will definitely be rebooking with Laura in the future. She created a great friendship with our dog and we are so thankful!”

“Responsible, punctual, clean and detail oriented. They arrived on time, during our initial meeting they asked questions such as feeding times/style (free feeding or meal times), or if there were a limit on treats, which are great details to ask for any pet sitter and shows that they are experienced and care about the pets needs as well as owner set restrictions, and my place was left clean and organized. They sent me regular photo updates on my two cats, and them playing with them, which helped me rest assured my cats were being well taken care of while I was away which is a huge relief. I would definitely recommend these two :)”

“We can’t begin to thank Kristi enough for coming to our rescue and taking fabulous care of our lab Dexter and our itty bitty kitty Willy ! She cared for our home like it was her own, everything was right in its place when we got home. Her communication with us while we were gone was fantastic, she let us know every step of the way how things were going and the pictures and videos were so fun to receive!! We wouldn’t give it a second thought to take full advantage of Kristi’s services again when needed !”

“Holly exceeded my expectation I had for a pet sitter. She arrived on time, immediately connected with Lily, and took the time to learn all about Lily's routine and preferences. Her questions showed how much she cared about providing the best possible experience for my dog. During her visit, Holly kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It was obvious that Lily was comfortable, happy, and received excellent care. Holly is professional, dependable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals. She has two dogs of her own. I feel fortunate to have found Holly and will absolutely book her again. I recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking exceptional care for their pet.”

“I definitely recommend Anne and would use her again. She came over for meet and great and asked good questions, took notes and was attentive to our dog's routine. Her communication was good and fast and she sent lots of pics and videos which we appreciated.”

About: I grew up with big active dogs so I understand their needs and habits including affection, energy, and naughty tricks. I volunteer at an animal shelter so am well versed in a variety of dog breeds and dogs with unique histories. Because I am a grad student, I have the flexibility to be at home with your pet while I study. I have acted as a cat sitter as well and have come to love them too! I do not have experience with new kittens so adult cats preferred please. This summer I am fully at your disposal. I am on summer break between grad school programs. You can expect full time attention to your pets. Will update come fall. Your guidelines are my rules! I am happy to crate your pets, let them roam free, or have them sleep in the bed with me (more common request than you’d think) LOL. If you are local, I am happy to let your pup have some outside off leash time in my own fenced in yard, but I do not board dogs in my own home as I live with family while in grad school. I am happy to stay at your home or if you are local, just swing by for hangouts, walks, and bathroom breaks. If you are outside of Pleasanton, overnight stays at the dog’s home are preferred due to travel time. I am also capable of administering dog medications including pills and oral liquids, just leave me instructions!

About: Hi! I’m Connie, a reliable and caring pet lover based in the Bay Area. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I’m active, responsible, and detail-oriented, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby for company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs and routine. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, and to make your time away as stress-free as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting on weekdays and weekends. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, playtime, or extra companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their routine and provide consistent care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they feel secure and well cared for. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and supervision while respecting the rules of your home. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, starting with Daisy, a cocker spaniel I got back in second grade. She lived to a happy old age and even had puppies. I kept one, a cockapoo named Lucas, and he’s still with me today along with his sister Bella. They’re almost 13 now, so I know senior dogs well, plus all the energy and walks that younger ones need. Over the years I’ve dog sat and house sat for family and friends, with everything from small dogs to big breeds like a Kangal and a pit/bulldog mix. I’m comfortable with all kinds, though small to medium dogs are my sweet spot. I’m also happy to handle the little stuff, like ear cleaning, that some breeds need. Whether your dog is a puppy, full of energy, or slowing down a bit, they’ll be in calm and caring hands with me. My schedule shifts week to week since I’m balancing work and school, but overall it gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m generally free most mornings and have stretches throughout the day to check in, walk dogs, or spend real time with cats rather than just rushing through visits. For house sitting, I plan my hours around your pet’s routine, not the other way around. I’ve had pets my whole life, so a calm and safe environment is second nature to me. For dogs, that means sticking to their walk and feeding schedule and being attentive during play and downtime. For cats, I’m careful about doors and entry points since I know how easily they can slip out, and I keep an eye on plants or anything toxic that curious pets might chew on. Either way, I follow your home’s rules exactly as you’d want them and pay attention to the small things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable with someone new around.

“Gloree was communicative, professional, friendly and personable. She got along great with my dogs which is no small feat because on of our dogs is aloof. She also kept our house clean. We will be using her again!”

About: I grew up with two Golden Retrievers and learned to take care of them at a young age. I also have experience with pet sitting for neighbors and friends animals, whether that be staying at their homes or bringing pets into my own home. I love dogs so much and believe they deserve to be protected and respected just as humans are! I am a college student home for the summer, meaning I have tons of free-time to hangout with the pups. My routine is very simple and includes walking my own dog daily! I have a 3 bedroom home that also includes a fenced in backyard for your pup to play outside! I have a 10 year old Golden Retriever who gets along well with all breeds and is very mellow.

“Jada was wonderful! She sent regular updates and took such great care of all our animals. Our home was in perfect condition when we came home. And most importantly our animals were well loved and taken care of. We would definitely recommend her!”

About: 10 years of pet sitting for dogs and cats 5 years of professional dog walking, dog care, and dog bathing 5 years volunteering at cat rescue Cared for pets of all sizes and ages I’m currently working as a part-time dog bather so I have lots of time to care for your fur babies and give them the attention they need.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of our dogs while we were away on vacation for a week. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. She kept us updated, sent photos/videos, made sure they were happy and well cared for, and treated them like they were her own. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs, and that says it all. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our babies!”

“Savanna watched our cat and dog for multiple days. Savanna sent us daily pictures of our animals and communicated with what was going on with them. The animals were well taken care of and we appreciate all the love she gave them while we were away.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care. I also have experience with cats and other critters, and I currently have all three myself, so I understand their unique needs and behaviors. I’ve worked alongside professional dog trainers, which has helped me build strong handling skills and better understand training, behavior, and safety. In addition, I’ve volunteered with animal shelters, giving me experience with a wide variety of temperaments and situations. I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I’m currently transitioning into trade school Friday–Sunday, which means I have plenty of time during the week to dedicate to your pets! I’m available Monday through Thursday for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your furry (or scaly!) family members. I love building routines with pets and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away! For the comfort and safety of all pets, I provide care in your home rather than mine. I’m more than happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or just giving extra love and attention, I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care as my own.
