House Sitting Dublin

“Jana was AMAZING! She sent so many pictures & updates, was so easy & kind to communicate with, & we came back to a happy pup & a clean home. I’d recommend Jana 1000%!”

About: I’ve spent 24 years around animals, including dogs and cats of my own, so I know that trusting someone with your dog or your house key is a big deal. I don’t take it lightly. I’m the kind of sitter who wants to know your dog’s whole personality—their favorite route, the treat that instantly gets their attention, the weird way they ask for dinner, and the little routines that make them feel safe. Tell me everything. The more details, the better. Whether your pup needs a good long walk, help sticking to a routine, gentle senior care, or just company while you’re out, I’ll meet them where they are. I pay attention to body language, keep safety front and center, and send photos and updates so you’re never left guessing how they’re doing. At the end of the day, I want the same thing you do: a happy, relaxed dog and a sitter you feel good about booking again Busy workday or a trip coming up? Send me the dates and times you need help. We’ll go over your pet’s routine and confirm what fits before booking, so you have one less thing to sort out. I’m organized and flexible, and I can build visits around your pet’s schedule rather than expecting them to adjust to mine—whether that means morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening feedings, or weekend coverage. Before a booking, I like to confirm the exact routine so there are no surprises. I’ll be clear about my availability, arrive on time, and communicate promptly if anything changes. Leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big deal. I want you to feel comfortable telling me every little detail, including the instructions you worry are “too much.” I’m happy to have them. I’ll stick to their routine, double-check doors and gates, keep your space tidy, and send photos and updates. If your pet needs a little time to warm up, we’ll take it at their pace. You’re always welcome to check in. In your home, I’ll follow your house rules, keep fresh water available, and closely follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions. I’m mindful of anything that could stress your pet—loud noises, unfamiliar people, other animals, or changes to their normal routine. For dogs, I use a secure leash and pay attention to their body language around other dogs, people, traffic, and unfamiliar situations. For cats, I let them set the pace: I won’t force interaction, and I’ll make sure their litter box, food, water, and favorite hiding spots are taken care of. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated, and reach out right away if I notice anything unusual.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for them goes far beyond simply caring for them. I genuinely believe animals are an extension of ourselves, each with their own little personalities, emotions, and ways of communicating. I’ve had cats since I was in 3rd grade and currently have four of my own, so I’ve spent many years learning their needs, behaviors, routines, and the importance of giving them consistent love and attention. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for neighbors’ pets, along with gaining hands-on animal experience working in the animal section at the Alameda County Fair. There, I handled and cared for rabbits and helped visitors safely interact with them. Being around different animals has only grown my appreciation and connection with them. I’m naturally very patient, gentle, and intuitive with animals. I love taking the time to understand each pet’s personality, picking up on their body language, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and timid, or need a little extra affection, I always want them to feel understood and cared for. I have a soft spot for absolutely all animals, regardless of their age, size, or species. Cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, you name it! I honestly love spoiling animals, spending time with them, and treating them like the little family members they are. I don’t believe pet care should ever feel rushed or impersonal. Every animal deserves genuine attention, patience, and affection, and that’s exactly what I strive to give. My goal is for every pet to feel at home with me and for their parents to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I currently have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, so I’m happy to accommodate different routines, schedules, and last-minute needs whenever possible. I love being able to give pets my full attention, whether that means morning visits, afternoon walks, evening check-ins, or overnight stays. You and your pet’s routine and comfort always come first! My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re in a second home, surrounded by love, comfort, and attention. I have a fully fenced and gated backyard for supervised outdoor time, food and water bowls, crates, two litter boxes, and a cat harness and leash if needed. There are no pet doors installed so they can’t sneak out the house, and doors will be closed at all times to prevent accidental escapes. Most of my home is carpeted with some tiles, and pets are welcome on the couches and beds if their owners permit it. I currently have four cats of my own, who are indoor-outdoor cats, but I can absolutely keep visiting pets separated in my own room or another designated space whenever needed. I take introductions and boundaries seriously and will never force animals to interact. Their safety and comfort always come first. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual preferences, whether that means feeding them in a specific location, following their usual meal schedule, administering medication according to their owner’s instructions, or giving them their favorite kind of playtime and affection. I keep a clean environment and make sure every animal is supervised and checked on consistently, even when they’re resting in separate rooms. Communication is something I take very seriously, too. I love sending frequent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day so owners never feel out of the loop. If you’d like, I can even keep a detailed activity log of your pet’s day, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, medication, and anything else worth noting. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving your pet with me as your pet feels staying here. I treat every animal like my own and genuinely enjoy giving them all the extra love, patience, and attention they deserve. Your babies are never just another booking to me. They’re family while they’re in my care.

About: I have always been around dogs and am comfortable helping dogs of any age, size, and need. Working as a veterinary assistant and earning a degree in animal science has helped me build a strong connection to caring for dogs. I am very comfortable with pets that need an extra level of medical care. I work full time 4 days a week and have a bit of a long commute (I will likely be out of the house 6:00 AM - 7:30 PM Mondays - Wednesdays and Fridays for work). My weekends tend to be more free, though most days I can provide care in the evenings or very early mornings. I am happy to stay in pets’ homes to provide overnight care and housesitting. I can easily get into the pets’ routines and provide other house care as needed.

“Cigdem asked good questions and was very attentive at our meet and greet. She communicated well, arrived on time, sent lots of photos and updates while watching our dog, and our home was clean when we returned. We'd happily use her again and recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have a deep love for animals, and my own dog is like my son. His name is Potato. He’s incredibly loved, well cared for, and definitely spoiled with affection! Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them as if they were my own family. They’ll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care in a safe, comfortable environment. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep them comfortable. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is being cared for with the same love and dedication I give my own dog. I am available Monday through Friday except during this time 2:30 to 6:00 PM. If you need care for a longer period, I’m happy to discuss accommodations. I am also available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I take care of my dog by making homemade meals every day using healthy ingredients, give him healthy treats, and always make sure he has fresh water. We go on daily walks, play together, and he gets plenty of cuddles and attention throughout the day. I will treat your pet/family the same 🙂 I love taking Potato on adventures, and he’s traveled with me to more than six states. I make sure he’s always safe, comfortable, and included wherever we go.

“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.”

“It took me awhile to find the right pet sitter for my two pups who have been spoiled having my husband WFH since Covid started. Alison was the right fit for all of us. When she came over for the "meet and greet" the dogs were comfortable with her and so was I. She really took the time to ask questions about the dogs preferences and understand what we were looking for. She's a great communicator and did well with the dogs. We came home to cheerful dogs and a neat house. I'm happy to give her a 5 star review and hope she will be available when we travel in the future.”

“We just got home from our trip and I can’t wait another second to make this review - BOOK WITH EVELYN NOW!! I’ve got two big babies that I consider very sensitive and hard to deal with and Evelyn was a literal angel. My one dog has never done this for anybody but me - he is staring at the front door waiting for Evelyn to come back! If that doesn’t speak to her service and care, I don’t know what does. I normally cut trips short because I’m so worried about my dogs but now all I can talk about is planning my next trip because I know I have the absolute best person to stay with my pups. I am absolutely blown away at how amazing Evelyn is and I want to be selfish so I can keep her to myself, but that would be a disservice to you and your dogs.. do yourself and your fur babies a favor and book with her immediately!!! I should also mention that my other dog is an insane nightmare to take on walks and does not like any other animal.. every single day I got multiple updates from Evelyn on how my pup was behaving which continued to put me at ease and truly allowed me to fully enjoy my trip. I cannot thank you enough, Evelyn!!!! We will be booking many more services with you!”

“My chihuahua and sisters German shepherd/black lab mix loved having Angelique stay with them during our weekend away. Angelique was so kind to do a visit ahead of time, was very communicative, and organized her schedule around our dogs. My dog loves to cuddle and definitely got all of the love from Angelique. We’d love to have her back to stay at our place with cooper in the future.”

“Jack was great watching violet. I was happy with the service. He communicated well and followed instructions and is trustworthy. Violet 🐶 loves him as well. I will definitely use Jack again in the near future. Thank you Jack, happy to have found you :)”

“Katrina had a wonderful bond with Roxie. Roxie looked fabulous when we got home. She took such great care of Roxie and sent me pictures along with updates on how Roxie was doing while I was away. Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”

About: I absolutely love animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments as I'm currently working as a vet assistant and studying to be a registered veterinary technician. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I do my best to maintain a safe environment, staying aware of harmful materials, chemicals or products that a pet could get into. Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.

About: I've watched dogs for others for years, starting with my former dance instructor when I was a teenager to now and my client list has grown exponentially over the years through word of mouth. While most of the dogs I've cared for are seniors and have a special place in my heart, including my own now, I also love to care for those with more high energy and enjoy walking and playing. I make sure to communicate any issues that arise as soon as possible and accommodate to your pets needs as if they were my own. I currently work full-time, but can dedicate lots of love and attention to your pet whenever I'm off work or on my lunch break if it’s close by. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of food, rest, and exercise depending on yours and their needs. When pet sitting, I like to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I know having a new body around can be stressful, but I always manage to have pets feel comfortable and happy when I'm around. I also clean up after myself, to the point where you won't even know I was there, as well as your pet if there are any messes that need to be cleaned--bathroom accidents, vomit, etc, I've cleaned it all!

“Yvette did a great job with Frankie! I am so appreciative of her help and professionalism. She eased my stress while I was traveling for work.”

About: My friends call me the dog whisperer. I'm based in San Ramon (East San Francisco Bay Area) but I often drive between Monterey, Santa Rosa, Sacramento, and Merced

“Kayla was for a week our in-home cat sitter and she was pure magic. She is the cat-sitter equivalent of Mary Poppins—truly beyond compare. As anxious pet parents of needy cats , we were looking for someone who could handle specific routines and provide constant, loving care. Kayla exceeded every expectation. • Exceptional Cat Care: She treated our cats like her very own, building a wonderful relationship with them and ensuring they were happy and stress-free. She followed all of our detailed instructions perfectly, managing our cats' needs. • Above and Beyond: Kayla didn't just meet our expectations; she went above and beyond. Not only did she care for the cats, but she also took immaculate care of our home, leaving it as neat and tidy as when we left. • Peace of Mind: She was a pro at managing our pet-parent anxiety, providing timely updates and clearly demonstrating her dedication. We can't recommend Kayla enough. If you are looking for a trustworthy and absolutely amazing sitter who will treat your pets and your home with the utmost respect, look no further. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
