House Sitting Gordon

“Dalene was amazing! We had a horrible experience with a previous sitter and had a lot of anxiety. Dalene eased our nerves and took excellent care of our pup!”

“Shauna really connected with my animals. The fastest trust building I have experienced with a pet sitter. She has a lot of animal knowledge which was helpful. I for sure will be requesting her services again for all my upcoming trips. Please be confident in selecting her for your own personal needs. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Kaitlyn took great care of our two dog and cat and kept us super informed on what they were all up to while we were away. Made our trip that much more stress-free!”

“Sarah was available to help us out last minute. We were very thankful and our pets were well loved and cared for. She communicates well, asks great questions and her knowledge and training with animals was apparent the moment we met and she interracted with our pets. Our home was left clean. She followed our pet care and home instructions as well. We will hire Sarah again.”

Jill B.

“Christina was amazing. In every photo that she sent me of my dog and cat, they were happy and relaxed. She followed my care instructions to the T. She sent me updates and was available whenever I needed her. She reassured me and helped me feel confident and comfortable leaving my babies. I cannot sing her praise hugh enough. She will absolutely be the first person I contact in the future when I need to go out of town. Thank you Christina!”

“This was our second booking with Grace and we absolutely love her! She takes such great care of our pets and home. We have a senior dog who needs shorter walks, and Grace always makes sure she gets the extra attention she needs. She’s a great communicator and gives us peace of mind while we’re away. Highly recommend!”

Kristina W.

“Daniella was great! She took care of our 12 year old dog who needed daily to be given medication. She is engaged, responsive, punctual and reliable. We definitely recommend her.”

Dagmar P.

“Before booking the weekend, Anna asked questions that showed me she already cared about our pup's well-being. She was responsive and responsible. The dogs liked her right away and she sent us photos of them the two nights she stayed.”

Bron H.

“Chelsea was wonderful with my two dogs while we were away. She is very conscientious and the house was in perfect order when we returned. I would highly recommend Chelsea and would love to have her housesit for us again.”

Julie W.

“Solome took great care of both of our pups. They immediately felt comfortable with her. She provided updates throughout the day with images. She even went above and beyond and placed one of our delivered packages in the house on her way out. I would recommend her. Will be booking again :)”

Jasmine S.

“Thank you Kate for taking great care of my two fur babies! Kate was responsive and responded quickly to any messages. She was timely and gave my dogs love and attention! I will definitely be calling Kate again when I need a dog sitter!”

About: ⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING ⚠️ To ensure we're a good fit and to respect both our time, please review my pricing and policies below before reaching out. Thank you! Welcome! I'm so glad you're here 🐾 Why families choose me I know how hard it is to leave your furry family member with someone new. That's why I'd love for you to visit my home before booking – see where your pet will stay, meet me in person, and get a feel for the environment. No pressure, just peace of mind. Here's what makes my care different: I only take two to three pets at a time. Yes, I have space for more, but I intentionally keep things small. Your pet isn't just another booking; they get my full attention, a calm environment, and the kind of care I'd want for my own pet. Since I work from home, your pet is never alone. If your pup has separation anxiety or just loves company, they'll have me nearby all day. I genuinely treat every guest like they're part of my family. What you can expect • Photos you'll actually love: I take pride in capturing beautiful moments of your pet. Check out my profile photos – that's the quality you'll get! I want you to see your pet's personality shine and know they're happy and loved. • Real communication: During business hours, you can call me anytime. Need an update? Have a question? I'm here. Your peace of mind matters. • A spotless home: My place is deep-cleaned weekly. It's fresh, odor-free, and hygienic. You're always welcome to visit! Just a heads up – I do ask guests to remove shoes to keep things pristine. • Safe outdoor space: The backyard has seven gorgeous redwood trees that provide tons of shade. That said, your pup will spend most of their time inside with me, where it's cool and comfortable. I never leave dogs unsupervised outside for extended periods. • A calm, quiet home: No young kids, and no elderly family members. Just a peaceful space where your pet can relax and be the star of the show. • No pool: One less thing to worry about! Safety first. Important details about care & pricing • Veterinary care: If I notice anything concerning about your pet's health, I'll contact you immediately (and Rover). If I can't reach you, I'll take them to the vet. All bookings are covered by Rover's Guarantee (up to $25,000 for eligible vet expenses). • Pricing adjustments: I do charge additional fees for certain situations to ensure I can provide the best care: Small: Base Rate Medium dogs: (30-60 lbs): +$15 Large dogs (60-90 lbs): +$20 Giant dogs (90-200 lbs): +$100 Puppies under 1 year (not potty trained): +$125 Why the large/giant dog fees? I want to be transparent about this. • Decline other reservations: due to the lack of space, I might need to be forced to cancel other reservations to ensure we have adequate space for your furry friend. • Space & capacity: When I host a large or giant breed, it often means I can only take one other pet (or sometimes no other pets) to ensure everyone has adequate space and comfort. This limits my availability for other bookings. • Physical demands: Larger dogs require more physical strength and energy – from handling on walks to managing their movements indoors. It's more intensive work to provide the attentive, hands-on care they deserve. • Wear and resources: Bigger dogs naturally need more of everything – more food, more space, more cleanup. They also create more wear on furniture, floors, and the home environment. • Individual attention: Every dog gets my full focus, but larger dogs often need extra time and specialized care to ensure they're comfortable and happy in my home. This pricing ensures I can give your large or giant dog the quality, individualized attention they deserve without compromising on care. Why the puppy fee? Puppies are wonderful, but they need specialized care! I take your pup out every 30 minutes to support their potty training and help them develop good habits. It's hands-on work, but it makes a real difference. If your puppy is already crate and potty trained, I'm happy to waive this fee. Again, please review these details before reaching out so we can make sure we're the right fit for your pet! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐕💕 A day in the life with me 🌅 I'm naturally an early riser, which works out perfectly for your pup! Here's what a typical day looks like: Morning: We start the day with a refreshing morning walk to get those legs moving and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day: Your dog will get regular potty breaks in my backyard all morning long. Since I work from home, I'm always here to let them out when they need it. Evening: When the weather's nice, we'll wind down with an evening walk to stretch, explore, and burn off any remaining energy. This is the exact routine I followed with my own dog, and it worked wonders for his potty training. He learned to trust that I'd take him out when needed, and I learned to trust that he'd wait. It's all about consistency and communication! Your dog will seamlessly become part of my daily rhythm – same love, same care, same attention I gave my own. They're not just a guest; they're family while they're here. 🐕❤️ 🐣They will be in a safe and secure environment, where no dog will be distressed. I prioritize understanding each dog's behavior by discussing their temperament with clients and taking proactive measures to ensure a calm and harmonious atmosphere. This is why I limit the number of dogs to a maximum of two per night, to maintain individual attention and safety for all pets involved.

“Alyssa has taken care of Miso twice now and she is fantastic! She took the time during our first meet and greet to really get to know Miso and ensure a positive experience for him, and was great about communication and meeting his needs while I was gone. Miso adores Alyssa and looks forward to his future hangouts with his new bestie!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with dogs in my home and have been dog sitting for over 10 years, caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I genuinely love animals and treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am a very active individual so I make sure they get lots of playtime and walks:) I work full time, 8–5, but I always come home during my lunch break for about an hour. I also take nightly walks. I’m available on weekends and am usually home. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding them on their regular schedule, providing fresh water, taking them on walks, and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep the pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I also make sure to keep the home clean and provide updates as needed so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

About: I’ve had my own dog for 10 years, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and just keeping them company. I’ve also looked after dogs for family and friends over the years and volunteer weekly at the animal shelter, getting to know different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s a long walk for an active dog or a slower pace for an older one, I adjust to what they need. I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and can adjust to each pet’s specific needs and routine. I take safety and trust seriously and treat every pet and home with respect. I have professional clearances through my work and years of experience working with children’s programs, which reflects my reliability and responsibility. I also volunteer with an animal shelter, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and behaviors. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds, and have been taking care of them since I was 9. I own exotic pets as well as the standard cats and dogs, and am more than happy to do whatever you need to help out you and your pets! I am committed to provided the highest quality of care for your pets from sunrise to sunset, and overnight when needed, each and every day. Being fear-free certified through animal shelters that I work at, I am experienced in caring for and interacting with your pets in the way that works best for them, no matter their needs!

“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Our cats are typically very anxious and don’t warm up to new people easily, but she was incredibly patient and gentle with them. By the end of our trip, they were comfortable and even snuggly with her, which really says a lot. She treats your pets like her own and consistently goes above and beyond what’s asked. As anxious pet parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also provided regular, detailed updates, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pets and will definitely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, understand their quirks, and keep you sane while you’re away—she’s it. 10/10, no notes.”

“Renee was awesome. She did everything that she said she would. Our little girl Trina took to Renee and that gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. We even had an unexpected change in plans in the middle of our vacation and she was very accommodating. We recommend her and would definitely use her again.”

About: I'm a former 4H member which means I've not only taken care of a variety of animals, I've also shown them in competitions. I have personal experience taking care of Dogs, Cats, Horses, Birds, Rabbits & Rodents, and even Fish. I have owned and cared for many animals throughout my life, most of them have lived to old age--don't you just wish they could live forever? I am happy to take care of your loved ones as if they were my own for however long you need to be away from home. I am currently on Leave of Absence from work due to health issues which means I have all day and night to spend with your critters. I will follow your care instructions as closely as humanly possible! Need me to cuddle them during a storm? "Cook" their food before serving it? Shove a pill in a hotdog? Give your pet an IV bag? Been there, done that. Whatever they need, I'm there.

“Eleonora did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and 2 cats in our home. She walked our dog every day and kept us posted throughout the visit with messages and pics of our fur kids. She is very reliable and we would definitely book her again!”
