House Sitting In Fairhaven

“So lucky to have found Kathy through Rover, she was an exceptional sitter for our two dogs. Our boys are leash reactive so we are always a little anxious to leave them under just anyone’s care, but with Kathy we’ve never felt more at ease. Great communicator and responsive, would definitely book her again if we can!”

About: Many of my friends have corgis, so I've spent plenty of time caring for these adorable, energetic little dogs and I've absolutely fallen in love with the breed! Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles on the couch, neighborhood walks, or simply having someone nearby, I'm happy to tailor care to their personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work full-time during the week, but I work from home on Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your dog. I understand how important it is to know your pet is getting attention, exercise, and companionship while you're away. Most recently, I cared for a friend's dog and home for an entire month while they were away. During that time, I maintained the dog's normal routine, took them on daily walks, brought them to the dog park and the beach, and made sure they received plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship.

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover. The corgi you see in my photo is my beloved baby of nearly 14 years, Namie. She went to woof planet this year, and I’m not ready for a new dog anytime soon. Recently, a friend asked if I could pet-sit, and I realized how therapeutic it felt for me. It also made me happy knowing they trusted me with their fur babies, especially since I have years of experience caring for my own. Before Namie came into my life, I was also a dog walker, but later transitioned into office work. Truthfully, I’ve always felt deeply connected to animals since I was a kid. I will treat your fur baby with the same level of care and attention, because I truly understand how much they mean to you. They are family, and they deserve the best. I’m currently a psychology student and am usually at school in the mornings to early afternoons, Monday through Thursday (depending on the quarter). I am fully available during the weekends. My priority has always been to return home as soon as possible to care for my dog; making sure she could go out, feel safe, and stay relaxed. I will give your fur baby that same level of care, attention, and love. When caring for your pet in your home, I understand that every fur baby needs time to feel comfortable with someone new. I always approach slowly and calmly, allowing them to get to know me at their own pace. I may use treats or their favorite toy to help build trust, but I also respect their space and wait for them to approach me when they’re ready. Once they feel comfortable, we can play, go for a walk around the neighborhood based on your preference, or simply relax together. I understand that every dog is different, some are more active, while others prefer cuddling and quiet time. In my dog’s later years, she preferred staying home, so I’m also very comfortable providing calm companionship, whether that’s relaxing together, watching TV, or engaging in gentle play like hide and seek. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Ana was so so sweet! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup! She gave us frequent updates, asked in depth questions about him and his routine, and followed his schedule perfectly! She left him fulfilled and happy. Will for sure book with her again if I need a sitter for sure she was the best!!!”

“Nate was an amazing dog sitter for our girls! He communicated throughout and sent lots of photos. They seemed really content when we came back. We will for sure ask Nate to watch our pups again in the future.”

About: I’ve been a veterinary assistant going on 8 years now. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, administering medications, including injections and I don’t mind exotics. I am currently working so i will be able to work around schedules and my classes are online for now so I can definitely plan my classes around your pets’ schedule. In general, I believe all living beings deserve to be treated with love and respect. Therefore, I will make sure their bowls are clean, they have clean water, access to comfort and safety checks before I leave.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always come easily to me. As a dog groomer, I’m experienced in handling dogs of all sizes with patience and care. I’m a true animal lover who treats every pet with love. I enjoy taking dogs on calm, enjoyable walks in nature to keep them happy and active. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working part time. So I have a lot of free time to play and cuddle with your pet so they don’t feel lonely. I am always ready to cuddle or play if they want or need! I can adjust to their comfort and unique personalities with patience and love.

“I am so pleased with Lizbeth! This is our first visit with her and everything was better than expected. She was wonderful taking care of pavel and asked questions to be sure he was well cared for. That means alot to me as he is a disabled dog. She sent pictures and updates and even got him to walk on their first visit!!! I will definitely recommend her AND use her again. Thank you Lizbeth!!”

“Alicia watched our dog, Molly, for 5 nights while we were away on a business trip. We received several pictures a day of Molly that made us feel that Molly was in good hands. Molly warmed up to Alicia very quickly and they even slept in the same bed. When we got home, Alicia had left a note for us and a goodie bag for Molly with treats and toys. It was very comforting to know that our dog and home were safe and sound while we were away. Thank you Leesh!”

“Jingyling was absolutely amazing taking care of our senior pup. Our pup had some recent medical issues and she took excellent care of her. She gave us lots of updates and left the home tidy. Will use again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12 years old. I have a great reputation and known for being very caring and friendly towards pets. I’m a dog and cat bather too so I can also bath your pet! I currently work part time so I have plenty of spare time to care for your pets. I work in the mornings so I have the afternoons free for your pets. I will make sure your pet is safe indoors or outdoors. I will cradle your pet if needed to keep them safe from any visitors you might be having in your home or the mailman.

About: As a previous pet owner, I miss having a fur baby to tend to. I have decades of experience with dogs of varying breeds. My children are now college graduates and have no time commitments or obligations so house sitting suits my lifestyle perfectly. I only accept one family at a time so your pet/s will receive my undivided attention 24/7. As a full time homemaker, I have plenty of time to spend with the dogs. They are never left alone. I devote all of my time to them and I only board a couple of small dogs at a time so they receive very personalized care. I take the dog/s out for a walk or potty break every couple of hours, we may go to a nearby dog park that’s fenced in or go by the beach. I don’t mind cooking for the dog/s, beef or chicken and rice with vegetables is provided at times. Regarding safety- that’s always my top priority. When walking them; I always have them in a harness to keep them secure.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through personal friendships and family obligations, and have also owned two dogs of my own; I have a strong affection for dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I am currently not working, which allows me to devote ample time to caring for your dog(s) and providing them with the love and attention they require while in my care. I reside in a secure apartment complex that features gated access, ensuring constant supervision for your pets during walks. Additionally, there is a spacious grassy area where they can freely run and play.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I can remembers. We grew up with a Chihuahua and German Shepherd, and now I have a Husky. I love taking her for long walks and hikes on the weekends! I currently work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can't board any pets, but I can generally petsit with some notice! I've cared for pets in multiple client's home. Some are crated and others are allowed to roam freely, this all just depends on what you prefer.

“Thank you so much for taking good care of my little pooch dear Haley!”

“Katerina was amazing. She kept the house clean, and our dogs were always entertained. She walked them for 45 minutes twice a day and sent us photos of Lory and Rosie every day. Definitely my go-to sitter!”

About: I’m the friend who always gets the "can you watch my dog?" call because I’ve been around pups of all shapes and sizes since I was five. That lifetime of experience means I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a rambunctious puppy as I am providing a calm, gentle environment for a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience. Pet care fits perfectly into my active lifestyle. My days already revolve around long walks and staying moving, so your pup becomes my dedicated plus-one for every adventure. My schedule is flexible, and when I’m with your pet, they are my main priority—I treat their routine with the same care and focus I give my own. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect I’d want for my own. Whether we're hanging out at my place or yours, I focus on creating a secure, "paws-on" environment where routines are followed strictly so your pet feels safe. I’m all about clear updates and total transparency, so you can relax knowing they’re in good, experienced hands.

About: While I have had dogs in the past (I have a soft spot for Basset hounds and Doxies), I currently do not have any pets of my own, leaving me with plenty of love to give your pets! I'm well equipped to provide lots of snuggles and mental stimulation through a variety of pet friendly activities. Your dog deserves a vacation too, so making sure they feel safe, loved, and enjoy their stay is my #1 priority. References upon request and additional questions are always welcome. As a former dog mom myself, I also know that being away from your pet can sometimes be hard on you as well. So don't worry, I will send plenty of pictures your way to make sure you can see that sweet little pooch of yours while you're gone. I currently office from my home with some local travel during the day. This allows for ample playtime and potty breaks for your sweet dog. I will do my very best to adhere to your dogs schedule and ensure their safety and comfort. If anything strange pops up, I will usually just shoot a text so that we're all on the same page.

“Jordan was awesome with Olly. She came on short notice! Will use her again.”

About: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.
