Pet Sitting in Half Moon Bay

“We had Esmeralda visit and feed our two older cats while we were away, coming once a day. This was our first time with Esmeralda and we are happy with the results. She asked good questions during the meet and greet, and she left our home neat and tidy. I left pretty detailed instructions on feeding and garbage disposal and she followed them well. Our cats are very shy, so she did not have a lot of interaction with them. It looks like one of the cats let Esmeralda get near him towards the end of her visits. The one slight criticism I have is that while she checked off the jobs that she did during each visit she did not write a progress report, such as the cats ate all of their food, or Ray let me pet him.”

“Zoeyanne is super nice and my very moody cat loved her immediately! She took such good care of my pet and was super accommodating to any special needs/instructions!”

“Deborah is great! You will have a great first impression of this kind, animal loving lady. How fantastic to find someone you can trust to look in on your beloved pets when you can’t be there. She sent us photos and updates every time she visited and gave us so much peace of mind so we could enjoy our holiday away. Thank you Deborah!!”

About: I’ve always been around animals, especially dogs. I have had 3 personal dogs for 6 years now and have gad the best experience while caring for them. I have worked at a pet store since 2018 and have gained lots of knowledge there. I am the go-to person In my family when it comes to dog related questions. I love to care for animals aside from my job. I am currently working full time, but have always been able to manage things into my schedule. I would love to add dog walking/ pet sitting into my spare time and help out. I don’t plan on caring for animals in my home at the time but wish to do so in the future. Hope you find soneonw who does.

About: I bring years of hands-on experience with both cats and dogs. I’ve raised my own cats from kittens to mature adults, owned two boxers, and regularly care for family dogs ranging from energetic labs to small mixed breeds. I understand how important it is to follow your pet’s routine closely, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable experience. You can count on me to treat your pet with the same attentiveness and love I give my own. I do work, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on pet care during my slower times. With two school-aged kids, my days are naturally structured, which actually gives me consistent windows for visits. I’m available early mornings, mid-morning through late afternoon, and evenings, depending on what your pets needs. I plan ahead to make sure I have unhurried time for feeding, litter care, and play so every visit feels calm, reliable, and fully focused on your pet. I’m the dedicated feeder in our home—I’m up before everyone else, so I make sure our cats start their day with fresh food and clean water. We clean the litter box at least twice a day, often more, because I know how much comfort and hygiene matter for indoor cats. And every day, our cats get at least 20 minutes of focused playtime (usually more!) to keep them active, happy, and mentally stimulated. Caring for them is part of my daily rhythm, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I give my own. Pets can be a little messy at times, so I always make sure everything is tidy before I leave—you deserve to come home to a space that feels just the way you left it. I also focus on making your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I take my time during each visit, offering plenty of attention, pets, and cuddles so they feel relaxed and cared for until their favorite humans return.

“Venora took such good care of my dog while I was away at work! She fed him, let him out, and walked him. She took the time to keep me updated on their progress, which I really appreciated. My dog can be a bit shy but she was able to get him out without any issues. I came home to a happy dog! I appreciate that Venora is trustworthy and reliable. Thanks Venora!”

About: My greatest concern when it comes to working with Rover.com is that you, your pet, and myself all have an awesome and positive relationship. If we aren't a good fit, then the money isn't worth it! I am a freelance writer and artist with a flexible schedule and experience pet sitting who finds it rewarding to care for animals while earning some extra income. Every pet deserve's loves and attention when their human family is away. That's why I only take care of one dog/cat/family at a time. This ensures that there's no scheduling difficulties and your furry friend is well cared for. I’m always excited to meet new friends so drop me a line if you need some time. Thanks for visiting my profile :) : Im a studio artist and work from home so I have plenty of time to help care for your fuzzy friends, whether its a drop in visit a walk or something else, I’d love to meet you and your pup :) I have a fenced yard a live near the bay trail so getting outdoors is very easy. I prefer not to take clients dogs to dog parks for safety reasons but walks and attention are certainly part of the experience.

“Laura did a great job with Tubby! Timely visits, cute pics. I'd definitely hire her again.”

Safety, consistency and positivity energy are what I bring every time I care for a dog. Why choose me? 🐾Experienced dog owner 🐾Reliable, communicative and punctual 🐾Special attention to your dogs routine, personality and comfort 🐾Limited time lower rates while I grow my Rover profile! I will have full availability anytime Monday through Sunday. I am available on weekends any time of day. Let me know if you’d like reoccurring visits or walks and I can vary my rate based on location/frequency. Thank you! I like to understand the pets behavior first (if they get nervous or not) to have them get comfortable and feel safe, and then we’d go for a walk to get some exercise in. Then I’d make sure they are hydrated and of course a couple treats for the good boy/girl!

About: I have about ten years of experience caring for animals such as dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, fish and small animals including hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and rats. I worked at my local pet shop during high school and community college. I am experienced in working with reactive dogs and identifying body language as I have an Australian Shepherd who is wary of strangers and other dogs. I’m currently working four days a week for the State Parks in Half Moon Bay. I have a flexible schedule and usually have early mornings and afternoons free. I provide a safe, calm, and supervised environment where pets can enjoy relaxing and playing. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks and any medications they need!

About: I understand that your furry companions are not just pets, but cherished members of your family. I provide professional pet services tailored to meet the individual needs of each pet and their owner. I am dedicated to ensuring that your pet receives the exercise, socialization, and care they need to thrive while you're away. I am experienced with medication, seniors, and I can assist with training if required. I have been on the receiving end of this service and was very blessed to find a wonderful pet sitter through Rover for my beloved pup while I traveled. She was so excited when I dropped her there and I knew they loved her as much as I did. As she aged, they took on the task of giving her pain medication and altered her exercise to accommodate her needs. It is wonderful to be able to trust that your pet is in good hands!! I will provide daily routines based on their needs. I enjoy the outdoors so daily walks are a treat for both myself and the pets I care for. Your pet will feel very much at home while they are in my care. I offer a service that provides quality time with your beloved pet, they will be safe and sound at all times.

“Angelica was so sweet with our boy! She made sure he got some outside time and lots of great cuddles. She also made sure to follow all instructions and administered medicine for our senior dog. Macho loved his visit from Angelica!”

“Maila did a great job dropping in on our cat, Felix, while we were away for a few days. She even let him play outside for a bit, which I’m sure he loved since he’s an indoor-outdoor cat and doesn’t get to go outside as much when we are traveling.”

I know how much pets mean to their owners and would love to offer some TLC to yours when you can’t be there. I’ve also done housesitting for many people over the years and I’ll take great care of your home as well! I can also do chores around the house while you are away, if desired.
