House Sitting Half Moon Bay

About: I have been an emergency room veterinary tech for years and have studied veterinary medicine in college. I own an array of different pets my whole life, so you'll know your pet's are in good hands with all my experience and knowledge. I am currently working part time to help take care of my sick mother and have a lot of availability to walk and care for pets! I have large, fenced yard and a little dog who loves everyone and everything. I am very respectful of other people's homes and aware of what your pet's need!

“Deborah is AMAZING! We went out of town for 4th of July weekend, and were so worried about leaving our dog, Ella, during a chance of fireworks. Deborah came over a week before the trip to meet Ella and myself and touch base with me about some basic needs for her. Over the weekend, Deborah showed up on time, took amazing care of Ella, and kept me updated frequently with pictures and texts. She took Ella on many walks, played with her, and kept her secure and comfortable during some fireworks in our neighborhood. Deborah extended so much love and care over our girl, and we couldn't be more grateful! We will definitely be using her services in the future, and can't wait until Ella gets to hang out with her new friend again. Thank you so much Deb! You are awesome!!!”

“Caroline bonded with Tim instantly, diverted him while I was leaving, sent me very cute photos and handled a leaky refrigerator. She did an all around excellent job.”

“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!!”

“Sophia is an incredible dog caretaker, sitter and house guest. She is attentive, proactive in communication and very clean. She is organized in her approach taking the most care with instructions including giving medicine. She looked after my large cane corso dog soon after surgery. I really appreciate her!”

Kristina D.

“Parind was a fantastic sitter for our dog! He was consistently communicative and sent us many updates (and photos) while we were away. We felt reassured and that she was safe the entire time. She’s an older dog who needed extra medication and care; Parind took it all in stride and managed the additional needs. Our dog was loved and cared for, and he was respectful of our home. We look forward to booking Parind again!”

“Vivian is an absolute gem - book her and you won't go wrong! We can't say enough good things about Vivian. She stayed at our house for over three weeks while we were away at our daughter's wedding, and she took care of everything like it was her own home. Organized, responsible, and clearly cares deeply about animals - she is a genuine dog whisperer. Our dog Duke absolutely loved her. He's usually a bit particular about new people, but Vivian won him over almost instantly and kept him happy, comfortable, and on routine the entire time we were gone. The level of care and communication throughout the three weeks gave us total peace of mind during our big family event. And as if that weren't enough, she baked us cookies for when we got home - an incredibly thoughtful touch that really says everything about who she is! Top notch, first rate, A+++. We'll be sure to book Vivian for our trips going forward and we recommend her without reservation.”

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, and I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I grew up with cats and was lucky enough to have a litter born in my room, so I’ve been around them from the very beginning. I also grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful high-energy dogs to older dogs who need a gentler pace and a little more support. I’m especially patient with animals that are shy, skittish, cautious, or slow to warm up. I know not every cat or dog wants to be approached the same way, and I try to meet them on their terms, earn their trust, and make the interaction feel safe and positive. Whether that means a walk, playtime, quiet companionship, or giving them space, I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. When I take care of an animal, I treat them like they’re my own. I’m attentive with feeding, water, litter boxes, walks, routines, house instructions, and updates. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident while you’re away, and for your pet to get care, attention, and comfort from our time together. I currently have flexible availability and can work with different pet-care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, cat care, and in-home pet sitting. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and overnights depending on the request, and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home and follow the owner’s instructions closely. I pay attention to feeding routines, fresh water, litter boxes, doors, locks, leash safety, and keeping pets secure and comfortable. I’ll also provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“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...”

About: Having loved and lost my own dogs, I know firsthand that pets are deeply valued family members who deserve the highest quality of care. For the last six years, I have been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my friends and family. Whether you are traveling for a few days or just need a reliable walker during a busy work week, I am here to ensure your pets maintain their routine and receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention. With a highly flexible part-time schedule, I dedicate my days fully to pet care and companionship. Your furry family member will never be left alone for long periods, as I have ample availability throughout the week for early morning turnouts, midday walks, and dedicated evening attention. Whether you need reliable daily dog walking to break up the workday or attentive overnight house sitting while you travel, my routine is designed to seamlessly adapt to your pet's established schedule and provide them with plenty of love, exercise, and care. When caring for your pet in your home, my top priority is maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and familiar environment. I focus on safety first by enforcing strict leash rules during walks and thoroughly double-checking all door and window locks. To build trust, I completely respect your private space while keeping you connected with detailed check-in notes and regular updates. Finally, I preserve your pet's familiar sanctuary by keeping their routine and home setup exactly as you left it, ensuring a stress-free experience while you are away.

“Willy was very happy and got a lot of activity in! House looked great too. Thank you!”

“Annalie was great with our dog. She followed feeding instructions closely and walked him multiple times per day as we requested. She connected with our dog easily and put him at ease. We will definitely book her again!”

About: Hi folks, I’m Hannah. My pets are a part of my chosen family. They each have their own quirks, preferences, attitudes, and personalities. I’d be honored to bring your furry family member into our lives! I’ve had many different pets over the last 20 years: parakeets (Lucy and Ricky), gerbils (Louis and Clark), dogs (Lilly, Iggy, Olive, Stella, Dexter, Pearl), and cats (Charlie, Baby Boy). We love to walk and hike throughout the bay area, run the beach, teach tricks, sunbathe in the yard, play with the very many (too many!) toys strewn about our house, and cuddle in front of the fire pit. I’d love to know more about your pet to ensure they are safe and happy and that I’m providing the best kind of care catered to them. Are they shy? Friendly? Aloof? Nervous? Mischievous? Do they need a little more love to make sure they are comfortable? How many daily walks is ideal for their energy level? Do they get specific meals and meds to protect their health? Do they have a history of reactivity? Favorite spot for scritches? Etc. I’m also happy to provide specific care based on their needs, senior pups and cats welcome! Thanks so much for reading 💕🐾 We live in San Mateo and I’m currently working part time in San Francisco on M/W/F mornings so I have a flexible schedule to care for your furry family. I am also open to working out a pick up and drop off schedule if that is something you’re interested in. We have a lovely fenced yard for our pups to run around and frolic in, as well as a doggy door so they can go out at their leisure. I like to take my dog on 2 walks a day (gotta check their pee-mails!) and there is a dog park within walking distance of our house should your pup prefer to run around freely. I do not crate my dog, so if that is in your routine, please let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly. Above all I believe fresh air, engagement, and enrichment creates the happiest environment for our pets. I’d love to welcome yours into our family ❤️

“Jaron took great care of Chance and my home, sending multiple daily updates. He got my lazy dog to go out for walks and kept him on his regular schedule and made sure he got his meds as well as other care items. Jaron left no trace after almost a week!”

About: Well, I love dogs and I honestly treat them like children. I take time to train and show affection while also creating a safe environment for your doggy💕 I work full time! But my weekends are free and can also watch during night! We can come up with a schedule that works for all of us! I currently live in a spacious apartment and right behind a park. I’ll make sure your pet is always on a leash and or in a gated area.

About: I grew up with multiple cats and really loved them. I took very good care of them. When I became an adult, I cared for my dog. Unfortunately, as she aged, she got really sick and I lovingly cared for her until her passing. I then had another dog, who was my life before children. I currently live in an apartment that does not allow pets, even though I desperately want to have them. Until my situation changes, I would love to help take care of your pets when you are unavailable. I'm currently able to work from home 3 days per week. My schedule is flexible, as far as which days I need to be in the office. I can help you take care of your pets when you are not available to do so. I am very respectful of people's homes/property. Although, I am not allowed pets at my apartment, I would enjoy helping you take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home.

Maya L.

“Amazing, start to finish! Leo's communication with me was thorough and professional, and his time with Vivi was so caring and loving. As an older pup, she just needs lots of love, attention, and a few walks...and Leo goes above and beyond to accommodate her. He absolutely loves animals and it shows! Leo is my #1 go-to pet caregiver. Thank you, Leo!”
