House Sitting El Granada

“We absolutely loved working with Bennett and he did such a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were away. We could tell the animals really loved him too which made our time away even more relaxing. He was so communicative, great with our animals, thoughtful, flexible, and easy to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend him to anyone looking and hoping to find someone to put their heart at ease when you leave your fur babies at home knowing they are being very well taken care of and cared for. Thank you Bennett, we look forward to working with you again!!”

“Esmeralda was fantastic! She was able to dog sit on very short notice and gave Jules (my dog) her undivided attention throughout the long weekend.”

About: I am my mother's fourth child (I grew up with three golden retrievers). Two of the goldens still go to the beach everyday at ages 15 and 16 (they still live with my mother). I've been swimming, walking, playing, washing, cooking for, feeding, cleaning up after, chauffeuring and generally chilling with dogs almost everyday for 15 years. I'm accustomed to medication regimens and mindful of safe play, especially for elderly and disabled dogs. I'm also very comfortable with large and extra-large dogs. My childhood friends include a Newfoundland and St. Bernard. I have experience pet sitting in clients homes in the Bay but am new to Rover. I just started a sabattical from lawyering. Happy to be your dog's lawyer though (this is not legal advertising). I am on a work sabattical, so I am happy to tailor my schedule to you and your dog's needs. Please provide me with advance notice of your schedule whenever possible. I prefer to care for your dog in their home so that they are the most comfortable. Otherwise I would prefer that your dog and I establish a few walks or activities before boarding at my place, so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Josh was an absolute gem of a cat sitter! From our initial video chat, I knew Dennis (my recently adopted ex-street cat) would be in good hands. Josh came to the meet & greet fully prepared and even managed to get Dennis to come out from under the bed—no small feat for a cat who spent 8+ years on the streets! 😸 He sent updates, photos, and thoughtful messages each visit, which really helped ease my first-time Rover nerves. He even met me after to return my keys and parking pass—above and beyond. Josh has great energy, and Dennis clearly approved (which says everything). Highly recommend—your pets will be in caring, capable hands. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have several years of experience caring for pets for close friends and family, including dog boarding, dog walking, and house sitting. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for in my care. I am currently home from college and am open to working full time to play and hang out with your pups. I am available everyday after 11:00am. For boarding I am also available weekdays and weekends :) I have a fenced backyard with lots of space to roam around and play. My home is close to many parks and trails meaning lots of time for fetch and walks!

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I can remember. I trained my corgi when he was a puppy and even taught my cat some tricks! I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I believe that all pets deserve to feel loved, comfortable, and safe while their owners are away! I’m currently a college student, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have time all throughout the day, from the morning to the evening, to play with them! Having pets of my own, I understand the importance of routines and sticking to a schedule. I will ensure that your pets feel safe, loved, and normal while you are gone. I always prioritize making sure that pets are comfortable around me and will do anything it takes to ensure that they are.

“Deborah is AMAZING! We went out of town for 4th of July weekend, and were so worried about leaving our dog, Ella, during a chance of fireworks. Deborah came over a week before the trip to meet Ella and myself and touch base with me about some basic needs for her. Over the weekend, Deborah showed up on time, took amazing care of Ella, and kept me updated frequently with pictures and texts. She took Ella on many walks, played with her, and kept her secure and comfortable during some fireworks in our neighborhood. Deborah extended so much love and care over our girl, and we couldn't be more grateful! We will definitely be using her services in the future, and can't wait until Ella gets to hang out with her new friend again. Thank you so much Deb! You are awesome!!!”

“Chelsea was great. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her and she made us feel comfortable being away from our fur baby. She also went above and beyond keeping us updated through texts and pictures while we were away. Very trustworthy. Highly recommend ❤️”

About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.

“Vanessa was very gentle and kind with my dogs and they trusted her right away! She sent so many pictures while we were away and puppies looked relaxed and happy to be around her😍 I will definitely rebook ☺️!”

About: I’ve owned pets all my life. I had a dearly loved dog that I saw through from puppyhood all the way to thirteen years old when she passed from cancer. I’ve had two cats since they were kittens, one of which had hyperthyroidism which required daily treatments. He has since passed away from kidney failure at seventeen. As a team with my sister, we personally trained our dog — and even the cats — using books to learn how to bond with the animals. I’ve not had a conventional job working with animals, but I am my friends’ go-to for pet sitting. I’ve done extended stay pet sitting (ten+ days) involving overnight care. I’ve handled daily medications for cats and dogs and worked on leash training for a friend’s dog as well as house training puppies. I currently live with an elderly cat and three freshwater aquariums. I’m available most days of the week and on weekends. I’m a freelance artist and my work is easy to time manage around. I always clean up after a pet and make sure they have easy access to water at all times. I know how to keep dogs inside a fenced area and keep inside cats from running out the door.

“This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy by choosing Casey. He immediately wanted to schedule a "meet and greet" at the house so the dogs can be comfortable. Soon after, we left for our wedding and our babies were in his hands. We were worried at first, but Casey reassured us instantly with photos of the doggies loving life. He always checked in with us, and sent us photos. We had such a great experience with him and Rover. I recommend Casey for any dog child owner in the area. His knowledge, attitude, and comfortability is reassuring :D Thank you so much! -The Rileys”

“Darya was amazing! She sent me multiple daily updates with photos. The animals loved her right away which was very reassuring and she left my house very clean and even stripped the sheets! I will be using her again.”

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I grew up with cats and was lucky enough to have a litter born in my room, so I’ve been around them from the very beginning. I also grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful high-energy dogs to older dogs who need a gentler pace and a little more support. I’m especially patient with animals that are shy, skittish, cautious, or slow to warm up. I know not every cat or dog wants to be approached the same way, and I try to meet them on their terms, earn their trust, and make the interaction feel safe and positive. Whether that means a walk, playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space, I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. When I take care of an animal, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive with feeding, water, litter boxes, walks, routines, house instructions, and updates. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident while you’re away, and for your pet to get care, attention, and comfort from our time together. I currently have flexible availability and can work with different pet-care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, cat care, and in-home pet sitting. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and overnights depending on the request, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding routines, fresh water, litter boxes, doors, locks, leash safety, and keeping pets secure and comfortable. I’ll also provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“Dawn treated our dog Maple like she was her own. She was extremely communicative throughout our trip and put our minds at ease. Maple was noticeably happier and calmer than we've ever seen her when we are away from home. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“This was Keith’s first time with our dogs and home. He asked a lot of good questions before and during our time away. He sent us pictures and updates daily and left our house in good condition. Much appreciated, Keith!”

About: I've taken care of puppies and dogs, cats and guinea pigs. I've administered meds to those who've needed them, I am reliable and understand they are not just pets but a part of your family. I enjoy taking care of animals, interacting, playing, cuddling with all sorts of pets. Very responsible. I currently, due to my living restrictions, can't have pets so what better way to give the love that I have than to treat your babies as my own! I am walking every day around the neighborhood, taking a pet would make it more enjoyable. They get fresh air as will I, we win! I can keep your fur babies company in their home environment while you are out of town. Making them as comfortable as I can so as to not stress them.

I've been caring for dogs and other pets since I was little, and I take pride in the trust and love that I've built with each animal. My experience spans walking, daycare, boarding, and more for both family and friends' dogs. I even fostered a sweet dog with anxiety for a year, ensuring they felt safe and loved. I've raised my dogs from young puppies through their senior years, and those who have crossed the bridge lived well into their late senior years, thanks to dedicated care. I have extensive experience with all ages and sizes of dogs, from house training energetic puppies to providing special care for incontinent seniors (ranging from 5 lbs to 125 lbs). Administering medications is also within my scope of care, ensuring your dog's health needs are met reliably. My friendly dog, a doodle, loves making new doggy friends and having playdates. I maintain a clean home with a fenced backyard because the well-being and safety of every dog I care for are my top priorities.

About: I’m an experienced two-rescue owner who knows anxious dogs, reactive leashes, meds, and senior-dog care. Scout just passed at 13 years. Now, I have my six-breed, 6-year old mutt Gemini. Real patience, not just promised patience is required with my dog Gem. For example, she doesn't always bring the ball back during fetch, and that's taught me to meet every dog where they are. Your dog won't be a job to me. They'll be a guest, treated with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. ✅❤️😌🐶 My specialties: anxious/reactive dogs, seniors, multi-pet households, big dogs (40 pounds+), high-energy dogs I'm currently working project-based contract work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm a copywriter, so I'll see your requests for care ASAP! I'm available M-T, F 9-12. In your home, I follow your routines exactly — feeding times, walk schedules, medications, and house rules. I keep doors and gates secured, never leave dogs unattended outside, and send photo updates so you know they're safe and happy. In my home, dogs are treated like family: supervised at all times, given a calm space to decompress, and introduced slowly to my own two rescues only if they're a good fit. Safety, comfort, and clear communication come first, always.
