House Sitting English Town

About: I've been a trusted caregiver for my friends' dogs and cats, administering unique care for all the special needs they have. I have a passion for animals and I love getting to know what makes your pet so special! I have experience with oral and topical medical treatments, and I am an active person so I am always ready for walks, hikes, or runs. I am currently working part-time throughout the week, with short-notice availability on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, however with a 2 week notice I can clear up my availability for extended stays. I am happy to follow the typical routines your pet is used to, however I typically go on walks morning and evening, giving plenty of attention in between. I always make safety a priority when taking any dogs on a walk. As someone who has a large aggressive dog, I take extra care to avoid potential issues.

“Lucia stayed with Coco in our home for eight days while we were away, and I couldn't have asked for a better caregiver. Coco can be shy and anxious with new people, but Lucia was incredibly patient and allowed her to warm up at her own pace. She followed Coco's routine carefully, kept us updated regularly with thoughtful messages and photos, and gave us complete peace of mind throughout our trip. When we returned home, Coco was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious they had formed a special bond, and seeing how comfortable and affectionate Coco was with Lucia meant so much to us. Our home was also just as we had left it. What stands out most about Lucia is how thoughtful and attentive she is. She pays close attention to the little details, genuinely cares about your pet's comfort and well-being, and treats them as if they were her own. It's obvious that caring for animals is more than just a job to her. If you're looking for someone who is compassionate, reliable, communicative, patient, and completely trustworthy, I can't recommend Lucia highly enough. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and look forward to having her care for Coco again.”

“Tiana was really wonderful. This was the first time we had booked with her for a house sitting and pet sitting. She was professional, kind, very communicative and really took great care of our babies. She sent photos, videos and updates regularly in just 24 hours. She proactively brought in our mail. Our home and our 3 pets were very well cared for. We most certainly will book with her again and encourage you to do the same!”

“Laura was so great with my pup! She took such good care of him and was very responsive. Would book again! ☺️”

About: I’ve had several dogs over the years including puppies whom I’ve trained from scratch, as well as temperamental seniors. I love them all and they usually like me too. ☺️ To get $20 off your first booking, use this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/sonalv50918 I work part-time from home so I’m able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to your pet. Walking them is one of my favorite forms of entertainment and exercise. I have a 5 ft high fenced backyard and the Sierra Azul trail entrance is just a 5 minute walk from my house so there is plenty of walking terrain for your doggies. While at my house, your cutie pies will be allowed on the sofa and bed unless you say otherwise. I’m also able to drive out to your place and spend some cuddle time with your fur babies. Just let me know what their needs are, I’m adaptable.

About: What sets me aside from other dog sitters is my ability to be aware of a dogs needs! I am also super receptive to their needs and always want to make sure they're safe and taken care of. Especially since I know how scary it can be leaving your family (your fuzzy friend) with a stranger. However, I don't want it to feel like that. Through my husband's family I have had the privilege of really growing with four dogs. Two frenchies, and two chihuahuas who have become such a big part of my world. I love dogs and have even volunteered through CARE. Companion Animal Research Effort. The two Chihuahuas we owned were seniors so I would love to take care of senior pets if needed. I understand they need a lot more compassion as well as structure. I would make sure they're safe, monitored, and getting all the love they deserve to thrive! I'm currently working Full Time at a medical supply company- but I would love to help either Friday Nights after 5 PM, Saturdays if needed overnight into Sundays until 5 PM! I am more of a weekend available pet care professional. I care for pets by providing a safe and loving environment full of compassion. Whether they're a younger pet or senior pet I make sure all their needs are met and they won't be shamed for having any accidents etc. I will always clean up after them and I live by the rule of leaving things better than when I came into the picture. I also have all my focus on them and will make sure that they're in my sight!

About: I’ve raised five dogs of my own from puppyhood; as well as watched the dogs of my friends and family since I was young. I’ve had everything from mixed breeds, to French bulldogs, pugs, and even a pit bull! I have experience with oral medication administration and elderly dog care. My current dog was in my care before he could be weened, so I know plenty about little puppies! I believe in keeping my dogs as active as their health permits, so walks are a crucial part of the day for me. (If they can, of course. I’ve also had a senior dog with arthritis I’ve accommodated.) I have a knowledge of dog psychology and feel that it’s important to recognize dog behavior correctly. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule. As long as I know ahead of time, I’m most likely able to accommodate your pet. I always care for your pet as requested. Whether or not your pup is crate trained doesn’t matter, I’ve cared for both. If your dog needs medication, walks at certain times, a health specific diet, has allergies, can’t be around certain animals/noises/environments- I will go out of my way to make sure your pets needs are met. I will always treat your pet as my own.

“Lizzy was a great sitter that I will definitely book again. The dogs warmed up to her extremely quickly during the meet and greet. She was punctual, communicative and responsible!”

“We came in from out of town for a concert. Sydney was great with our girl Lola. He was also very accommodating and flexible with his time. I’d definitely choose Sydney again when we’re back up this way.”

About: A lifelong love for animals has lead me to professionally working in Veterinary medical centers and Shelters. I am an Adoptions Counselor for the San Diego Humane Society. I am Fear Free Certified, trained in proper husbandry and handling for a range of species, and educate new owners on such. I am available all day Mondays and Tuesdays, Thursday through Sunday mornings and evenings for drops ins and walks. With overnights I am flexible as long as communication and time permit. I adore taking pets on walks or out to play! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I prefer to pet sit in an animal’s own environment for their same. It is already stressful to be away from their family and staying in their homes is helpful.

“So grateful we found Sophia -- she is excellent! We were nervous about finding someone to stay in our home for a week that not only we could trust, but that our sweet, but anxious and stranger-averse, rescue dog would let past her tough shell and get along with. I was stunned when our dog almost immediately warmed up to Sophia during our meet and greet (that never happens), and not only did she get along with Sophia, she clearly bonded with her and missed her after we returned from our trip. Sophia took great care of our home, treated our pup with so much love, provided much appreciated updates with photos and videos, communicated proactively and timely, took our dog on multiple walks a day (even though it rained most days, she bought a doggy raincoat!), and was gracious and flexible about trip date adjustments and meet/greet times. Can't say enough positive things about Sophia -- would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

About: Growing up with cats and dogs, I understand the depth of care, attention, and empathy each furry friend deserves. I am committed to delivering the very best care, determined to ease any stress that comes with a temporarily absent owner. I love physical fun, including walks, jogs and hikes. I prioritize the dog or cat’s care, safety, and comfort. I am patient and I would love to meet your pup or kitty! I work remotely, which benefits my furry clients very much! (I will just ask for a WIFI connection). I’m very flexible and am able to travel if you live relatively close by. Pups are always welcome at my home, but I prefer to come to you. I am happy to include pups in my pre-existing routines of morning walks or jogs or evening walks, jogs or hikes. Whatever the pup enjoys most!

“Lynn did an outstanding job caring for our two COVID rescue dogs, who are very unsocialized and typically only feel comfortable around my husband and me. Leaving them with someone else was a big deal for us, but Lynn was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and understanding of their needs. She kept us updated every day with videos and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. My husband and I felt confident that our girls were in good hands, receiving the patience, attention, and loving care they needed. Lynn truly went above and beyond to keep them comfortable and well cared for. If you are looking for a genuine, knowledgeable, and trustworthy pet sitter, hire Lynn! We couldn't have asked for a better person to care for our girls, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. Thank you, Lynn!!! Overall Rating: 5 stars. I would give her 10 stars if I could!!!”

About: I've always had a special love for animals, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for a furry family member. I have personal experience with feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with toys, or just cuddling on the couch, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I understand that every pet is different, and I'm happy to follow any specific instructions to keep their routine consistent. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry friends are in caring hands! 🐶❤️ I'm currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I love spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy! I'm happy to work around each pet's routine, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I do my best to communicate clearly with owners about my availability and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve! Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I make sure to follow all instructions provided by their owner. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or visiting theirs, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and loving environment. I always make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm careful about keeping doors and gates secure, supervising pets, and making sure they're comfortable in their surroundings. I also respect each owner's home and belongings. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend with someone else, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and pictures to give you peace of mind. I'll treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I'd want for my own! 🐾❤️

“Andrew is an attentive, thoughtful pet sitter who quickly earned my pets trust. He ensured my pets food and water dispensers were always full, and went above and beyond to ensure my pets received attention and excellent care while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Andrew for both longer and short duration pet sitting needs!”

“Amadita was AMAZING with our Bouzy! Incredibly accommodating and playful with her while we were away. It’s great to have a reliable sitter - will definitely book with Amadita again 😊😊”

Deanna B.

“Maya was very responsive and reliable during the initial search process and the house sitting time. She stayed with Doug for 2 nights/3 days. She sent us a picture update during her time with Doug, and communicated at various points to check in. We will be using Maya’s services again soon!”

About: I've had three dogs in my life. I have some training experience with them and have cared for many of my friends' and acquaintances' pets. Looking forward to supporting wherever I can I have pretty open availability right now. Though I do have a daughter in high school, who needs me for drop off and pick ups. It should not be a hindrance b I keep my cats indoors. And my dogs as well. They are crate trained so I can crate your pet as well and am familiar with the process of crate training.

About: I have Animal Shelter and Pet Store experience. I have had pets all of my adult life and sincerely believe that they are the best enrichment of human lives. I have medication experience and have been trained to be cautious of medical conditions. I can be trusted to act fast for worst case scenarios (knock on wood). I know how to take the best care of pets with the knowledge I’ve learned from my own experiences over the years. I work full time at a dealership but, with enough notice I can make sure to be available for your pets when needed. I am available every evening after 7pm Tuesday - Saturday and all day Sundays and Mondays I have 2 cats, a free roaming rabbit and geckos at home with my partner. I love taking care of their individual needs and giving them treats and toys to make them happy.
