House Sitting Glenview

“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.”

About: I come from parents who did Alaskan dog mushing with over 20 dogs. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have experience with many breeds. I know how to train, help with senior care, and provide any advice you’re looking for. I’m currently working part time, so I can quickly adapt to any pet or house needs you might have. I’m also very physically active so any further exercise is welcome! After growing up with dogs in the Alaskan wilderness surrounded by moose, I definitely have good habits of staying aware of my surroundings. I’ll be able to fully dedicate myself to your requests!

“Shanley was wonderful during our recent 10-day house sit. She was super communicative, sent daily pictures of our cat and dog, and cared for our house like it was her own. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hi! I am a dedicated pet sitter with three years of professional drop-in care in the Berkeley/Oakland area, and have been living with and caring for dogs and cats my whole life. My goal is simple, to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away so you can have complete peace of mind! While some people think pets have simple needs, I know that they need and deserve more than just food, water, walks and a clean litter box. During each visit, I make sure your pet gets all the attention and engagement they want, whether that means sniffing walks, playtime, pets, lap time, or simply quiet time with a friend. I always aim to follow your pet’s routine and preferences to make them feel safe and reduce stress. I also understand that many pets can by shy or take some time to warm up to a new person, and have a lot of experience with shy and nervous animals and will make sure to be patient with them and make them feel safe during my visits. I take a patient, gentle approach and allow them to warm up at their own pace so they feel safe and secure. During visits, I provide:
 • Walks, feeding, fresh water, and litter box cleaning 
• Playtime and enrichment 
• Medication administration (if needed)
 • Lots of photos and updates after every visit 
• Anything else you need while on your trip (grabbing mail, watering plants, etc!) About me: I’m originally from Seattle and have lived in the East Bay for the past 8 years and I love it here! Outside of pet sitting, I work as a plant genetics researcher. In my free time, I enjoy knitting, going to the beach, and hitting up all the local flea and vintage markets. I’d love to meet you and your pets and provide reliable, attentive care for while you’re away! I have a pretty flexible work schedule and am available pretty much any day to come check on your pets after 3 on weekdays, and anytime on weekends. I have a lot of experience with shy/nervous pets, and am very mindful of new relationships between animals as well as new humans! I look forward to meeting you and your pets and creating a safe and happy environment:)

“Sara was fantastic. She was always on time, accommodating, and very attentive and caring to our pup. We returned home to a happy and content dog and his attitude and behavior told us that he felt very comfortable and safe with Sara in our absence. We would ask her to look after our pup again in a heartbeat.”

“Christine was wonderful and kept me informed with everything that was going on at my house. When I got home, the dogs were calm, which to me is a good sign of a caring sitter.”

Thomas C.

“Hyazinth was fantastic with our two cats - even our shyer one took to Hyazinth quickly. Hyazinth was super communicative with updates and photos of our cats, and was clearly cuddling and playing with them frequently. We have searched for a long time for a cat sitter we feel totally comfortable leaving our babies with and finally think we have found them!”

Lily A.

“Lulia is great with picture and video updates. She was able to administer meds and eyedrops to my senior dog (16) and ensure he ate while I was away over the course of a week. She was patient and continued to find new ways to ensure he ate on days he was being stubborn because I wasn’t home!”

“For a second time, Daria took great care of our dog (and house) and we received plenty of photos & updates throughout our ~2 weeks away. I'm sure Momo will gladly have her come hang out again in the future.”

Pallavi K.

“Shivani was so loving with our dogs and very communicative! My partner and I realized we were looking forward to new pictures several times a day while we were gone. It gave us such extraordinary peace of mind to know that somebody who cares so much about our girls was there, not only to feed them and give them their meds, but to keep them company and play with them.”

Joanne C.

“Cara was great with our babies. Got updates and cute pics. She took good care of them and our house during our trip. Will definitely recommend her.”

Johanna M.

“Hamed is seriously the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! So communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates. As someone who has a lot of anxiety about leaving our pup at home, I felt so confident and worry free with Hamed watching him. Could not recommend more to stay at home with your pet!”

Claire F.

“Jack was very professional and helpful. He took initiative to be informed about the ins and outs of the gig and was highly communicative through to the end. My cat seemed very pleased with him as well. 10/10 would rehire.”

Christopher V.

“Nicole was fantastic. She took care of our senior dog and two cats and all three were doing great when we returned. She took time and care with each animal, especially with our skittish cat who is very frightened of new people. Our house looked fantastic when we returned, Nicole had even changed the sheets and washed her towels! And she stayed in constant communication with us, sending pictures all the time. We highly recommend Nicole and will definitely use her again in the future.”

Tara K.

“Lisette was wonderful, she took great care of Zoe and left the house very clean and organized. Would definitely book again whenever we are out of town.”

Tali F.

“Couldn’t recommend Eleanna more! She watched our dog and cat while we were away for a week and was very communicative the whole time. She sent us lots of pictures and made sure they both got lots of exercise and love.”

Maggie A.

“Nicky took great care of Callo, and was super responsive. She also left the house in great shape. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Nicky!”

Kellie D.

“Bryanna was great! Ready to jump in and help in anyway possible. Took a last minute booking that REALLY helped us. Bryanna was more than happy to go over details with us before the sitting. All the questions Bryanna asked us about our dog and his needs made it apparent that our dog would be cared for while we were gone. We came back to a happy, tired, and well-cared for dog! Would absolutely book again 😊”

Ashley L.

“Second time using Margarita. She takes great care of our two dogs. Always prompt and responsive and we know the dogs will be well taken care of. Goes above and beyond for them and recommend without any concerns.”

John M.

“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! They took such great care of Nash and sent me tons of pictures, which I loved. Nash got to go to all the parks, spend time with his best friends, and clearly had an amazing time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, active, and so well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely use them again and again. Highly recommend!”
