House Sitting in Girvan

“Shannon - can’t thank you enough for caring for Abby this past weekend. So glad we met! Abby was so content when we came home. I’ll send you some more dates :). Highly recommend Shannon to care for your fur babies - great communication and sharing while we we’re away.”

“Anastazia was great. She kept my place clean and even dealt with my cat having the zoomies the first night which kept her up! Thank you again!”

Elly K.

“My little chihuahua warmed up to Regena so quickly. She made him feel comfortable and cared for in his own home. She provided daily updates that I appreciated and put me at ease while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her.”

About: I first dog sat for my grandparents when I was twelve and since then I have dog sat for other friends and family members and loved each and every time. I love getting to know your pets and their personalities and being a friend to them while their family is away. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs who need a little extra care after spending several years caring for my family's basset hound before she passed. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend playing with your fur fam! While my work schedule changes from week to week, my shifts are never more than five hours which means that I can stop by often for pup potty breaks! I am happy to stop by your home multiple times a day and make sure that your furry friend has food water, has gone potty, and been walked and played with! I am also happy to water plants! If your dogo needs someone there during the night I am open to that as well :)

“Marin was very professional and always communicated through the whole time we were gone and not to mention we feel the service was reasonable. She also sent photos and updated us with their schedules. I would have Marin watch our three dogs again. Thank You again Marin!”

About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, and birds. I treat them with respect all the same. I will always treat with respect to them. It can benefit to my day to day life. I left the bay area where my folks have their dogs and I can't see them right now. So, it would be nice to spend time with dogs again. I have a wonderful home where I have 3 cats that are spoiled rotten. If I had a dog, they'd be spoiled too. The dog will be leashed the entire time I'm with them. Because I believe in safety above all else. Like when I'm going for a walk, if I see a situation, I'll take my dog across the street. No interaction whatsoever. Because I want to avoid confrontation.

“Gabby did a wonderful job watching our pup. Very communicative, professional, and caring. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to watch their furbaby.”

“It was a pleasure working with Kymber! On time, responsible caregiver for my three dogs. Would highly recommend her and will seek her services if I need to again!”

Lynn S.

“Thank you to Leiada for taking care of Lily our dog, Elaine our cat, and our home. I had a few plants that she watered for me as well. We had spotty service where we were staying so the communication had to be limited. They seemed well loved and cared for. Lily does take bit to warm up and does bark with new people, but she was good with that and Lily seemed to warm up fairly quickly. Elaine seemed very happy and content as well. I really appreciate it. I don’t know how she feels but I would definitely want to have her sit again.”

About: Your pets have my full attention when they’re in my care. I’ve raised and cared for animals my entire life—from dogs and cats to horses and chickens—and I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. In high school, I apprenticed as a vet tech, which gave me hands-on experience with basic medical care, handling anxious pets, and recognizing when something’s wrong. I'm currently raising three dogs, including a working-line German Shepherd trained in service tasks and a high-energy husky/malinois/wolf mix, so I’m no stranger to active, smart pups who need structure and stimulation. I have experience with puppy training, senior care, and building trust with shy or reactive dogs. Whether your pet needs calm companionship, a brisk walk, or mental engagement, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. As a professional photographer, my schedule is flexible and allows me to give your pet consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Walks are built into our daily routine—weather permitting—and if it’s too hot or stormy, we switch to indoor enrichment and play. I’m usually home during the day and evening unless I’m out for a shoot, and I’ll only accept bookings that allow me to maintain that level of presence and care. Pets in my home or yours will always feel seen, safe, and included. Safety is a top priority in everything I do. My background as a vet tech apprentice helps me spot issues early and ensure all pets stay healthy and comfortable. At home, our dogs are treated like family—but with boundaries. We maintain structure, encourage good behavior, and never let things slide just because a pet is cute (though we do think they’re all adorable). Our home is pet-friendly with lots of enrichment options, supervised outdoor time, and cozy spots to relax. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, routines, and pet’s comfort zones—leaving everything just as I found it (or better).

Communication is important—I provide updates as needed, giving peace of mind while you’re away. Why Your Pet Will Love It Here I do my best to make pets miss their family a little less and feel comfortable in my care. Your pet is treated as part of our household: calm, secure, and loved. I’m home most days, so dogs receive constant supervision and affection throughout their stay.

Whether it’s a walk around the block, some playtime, or just giving them love and attention, it naturally fits into my routine.

“Laura is wonderful!! We feel so lucky to have found her, she has a very special way with animals, and ours loved her. Highly recommend Laura, and hope she will sit for us many times in the future.”

“Yavaih was amazing! I was so lucky to have her look after my girls. Came home to a clean house and happy kitties. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome, and responsible, pet sitter!”

About: In my six years of animal care, I have taken care of many animals, from dogs to birds, and grew up on a large farm... so I have seen a few things. I have just moved to Redding and I don’t have a job so I have plenty of time to take care of your little ones. For my dogs, I feed them in the morning and take them on many walks throughout the day so that they will be tired out to rest at night. I will also check their water each day to make sure it is not empty or dirty.

“Mindy and her husband arrived promptly at our hotel to care for our dog while we attended a memorial service over 4 hrs long. They fed, walked and spent quality time together, and sent several photos to me . I would highly recommend them , especially to anyone traveling and in need of hotel Pet care in their absence, at a reasonable rate.”

About: I am a professionally trained K9 expert. I went to a 4 month emersion program to study the behavior of the amazing animals and now I feel I am way more prepared to communicate with K9s now that I understand them as they try to understand us! I have had dogs of my own since I was a child all the way through adulthood. Potty breaks, socializing and and playtime are key pillars in our daily routine. K9s aren't just animals for a lot of us they are apart of our family. A foundation that we come home to everyday. People have their own routines and I will make sure to do the best i possibly can when caring for your furry family member the best way I can!

About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been part of my world—feeding chickens before breakfast, brushing horses after school, and getting covered in dog hair in between! I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I’ve always had an easy, natural connection with animals. They seem to sense that I’m one of the good ones. I’m great at picking up on their vibes—whether they’re in the mood to zoom around or just want some chill cuddle time. Taking care of animals is second nature to me, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I live a flexible lifestyle and am fully available to care for your pets. Since I’m not tied to a traditional job or schedule, I can offer your fur babies lots of time, attention, and consistency. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here to help and happy to adapt to your routine. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment wherever I’m staying. I care for pets in their own familiar space, which helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your home, and can adapt to any special needs your pet may have—whether that means crating, administering medication, or extra cuddle time.

“LOVE this sitter. She was communicative, accommodating and so sweet. I had a last minute need and not only did she make herself available but she kept me posted constantly and even kept me posted on my pets that did not need sitting. She was awesome and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting for 5+ years for neighbors and friends. I grew up in a household with many pets and took care of them as well. I’m currently home from college on summer break, so I have plenty of extra time in my schedule to take care of and play with your pets! I am very patient with young pets and pets that require a little extra care. My family has taken care of and adopted puppies and kittens as well as senior animals.
