House Sitting in Half Moon Bay

“Deborah is fantastic! She communicates quickly and sends picture updates while house sitting. I trust our dog is in great hands. Will definitely book her again for future trips!”

“Chelsea was so kind and truly cared about my pup's wellbeing. She communicated when he was being difficult about his meds, immediately called me when the fire alarms went off in the complex and took my pup out, and even washed the sheets! Thank you, Chelsea!”

Jen

“Esmeralda was great, she watched our house and menagerie while we were away and kept us updated with lots of fur photos. Would definitely recommend her!”

John D.

“Thank you Jenna for your tender loving care of Alex while I was away. I know it wasn't easy, as he also started a new medication (that you picked up for me!!) along with his other meds. Just getting him to take his meds is quite a task. I will certainly contact you again the next time we are out of town. Thank you, thank you!!”

About: Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Allow me to introduce myself: I'm a (mostly) retired nurse & former farmer, offering a homey stay for your dog. I'm experienced with livestock, birds, all sorts of creatures. Your dog will enjoy the ideal location of my comfy home--its sunny decks, and fenced yard-- nearby to beaches, off-leash Quarry Park, and the recreation and coastal paths. You can enjoy your time away, knowing your pooch is having a great time at my place. I'm at home days & evenings, close by to the critters. Semi retired now, I'm able to dedicate myself to a pet-centric life, to the benefit of all. My home is set up for comfort--making the most of this idyllic coastal environment. Low windows at the front allow the dogs to observe those passing on the street. Two sunny decks connect to my fenced yard, providing a secure, relaxed environment. I am steps from the rec & coastal paths, dog-friendly Quarry Park, the harbor & coastal beaches. Enjoy peace of mind during your time away! Your dog will be a valued guest in my pooch-centric home.

About: My personal approach to dog care is grounded in genuine care for their well being. Working with my clients I provide prompt communication to ensure your dog is safe, happy, and healthy! Growing up my family had a beautiful 30lb dog that I helped care for from a puppy to old age. Being a part of this process has shown me how to support dogs in each stage of life from rambunctious puppies (structure, training and enrichment) to easing the aging process (special diet, new steps to climb onto the couch, shorter walks etc). Depending on the activity needs of your pup, I’m happy to provide daily walks or short runs (1-3 miles). I'm currently taking a gap year so I have plenty of time for your pups! I'm available weekdays and, with advance planning, can provide housesitting through weekends as well. I live in a single family home with three dogs. However, our family dogs like their space, and it is not available for dog boarding.

“This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy by choosing Casey. He immediately wanted to schedule a "meet and greet" at the house so the dogs can be comfortable. Soon after, we left for our wedding and our babies were in his hands. We were worried at first, but Casey reassured us instantly with photos of the doggies loving life. He always checked in with us, and sent us photos. We had such a great experience with him and Rover. I recommend Casey for any dog child owner in the area. His knowledge, attitude, and comfortability is reassuring :D Thank you so much! -The Rileys”

“Anna was great caring for my Benny. He takes time trusting people, but somehow Anna managed to get him to trust her. We received photos daily and he seemed so very happy.”

About: Having grown up with a dog, what sets me apart is my focus on high-needs care and consistency. Your pet can be my 'co-worker' for the day, receiving constant attention and structured play. I'm comfortable with medication schedules and slow-paced mobility walks. You can expect frequent photo updates and a calm, pet-first environment As a remote professional, I offer the 'work-from-home' advantage: your pet will have a constant companion throughout the day which is ideal for most dogs. Your pet will always be treated like family! We start with a slow introduction, ensuring they feel safe and confident. I provide a structured day with frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and plenty of lap time. When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's 'normal.' I follow your feeding and exercise schedules to the minute to minimize anxiety. I also take great care of your space, possibly watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure and tidy so you can return to a happy pet and a peaceful house.

“Alia was amazing. She provided excellent detailed updates and really knew how to care for my dog who was hesitant about this new visitor. She took care of my baby so well, and when I returned home it was as if I had not left. Dog was calm, house was tidy and Alia had even washed my bed sheets! I will definitely be rebooking on my next trip. Thank you Alia for your sweet, kind and caring time with my precious baby (Lulu). We really appreciate you and look forward to seeing you again.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of many friend's and neighbor's dogs. I just finished playing Division 1 soccer and have tons of energy! Would love to run/walk/train some dogs with lots of energy. I also enjoy showing the older, more chill doggos some love. I am currently looking for jobs so I have a pretty open schedule. I recently graduated and from UC Davis and would love some time with furry friends. I take my dogs on 2 walks per day and let them out a few times in between to potty. I can walk/feed/train/and show some extra love to your pup if you need some extra help!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years through friends, family, and neighbors. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, providing companionship, and following their regular feeding and care routines. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe and happy while they’re away, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing attentive, loving care. As a college student home for summer with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the week to provide attentive care for your pets. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, pay close attention to their behavior, and make sure they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and care. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Margot was so great with Milo and was so helpful for watching him through the whole day! She took him on 2 walks and was very kind! Milo seemed very happy when I got home and we would definitely book with her again 😊”

“Adele was great! Pups were happy when we got home, she was super communicative - would ask her to sit our place again!”

About: I started by taking care of my moms 4 dogs when she would go on vacations and needed a dog sitter. That really taught me how to feed them efficiently and when to take them outside to go potty. From there I learned how to hang out with them and play with them efficiently. I am a college student with classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I am available for the entire day and night. On Wednesday and Friday I'm available at night, Monday I'm not because I have a night class. Staying over night is not a problem, along with check ins during the days even on school days. I love dogs and am really good at feeding them, taking them outside, and playing with them. I'm not a trainer, but someone who is good at taking care of them while you are away. My mom has 4 small dogs so I'm very familiar with smaller dogs, but I have also watched bigger dogs as well.

“This was Keith’s first time with our dogs and home. He asked a lot of good questions before and during our time away. He sent us pictures and updates daily and left our house in good condition. Much appreciated, Keith!”

Michael V.

“Hailey was great with my very high maintenance very high energy pup Oliver. She was great at providing updates and communicating any changes/concerns during her stay. I highly recommend her :)”

“Jaron is WONDERFUL! Our schnauzer as a general rule does not like other people including our adult children, but Stewie warmed up to Jaron and even cuddled with him. Jaron was contentious and used great communication to let us know what was going on. Definitely will ask Jaron to house sit again.”

Rhonda K.

“I would highly recommend Venora for in-house dog sitting. She definitely aimed to please with my request to meet and greet (twice), as well as arriving early on the first day of taking care of my dog. She was thorough in following my instructions on feeding and walk schedules, and texted most days to inform me of how things were going at the house. When I arrived home, my dog was happy and healthy .....and the house looked great as well. Thanks Venora...”

“We absolutely loved working with Bennett and he did such a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs and cat while we were away. We could tell the animals really loved him too which made our time away even more relaxing. He was so communicative, great with our animals, thoughtful, flexible, and easy to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend him to anyone looking and hoping to find someone to put their heart at ease when you leave your fur babies at home knowing they are being very well taken care of and cared for. Thank you Bennett, we look forward to working with you again!!”
