House Sitting in Harbison Canyon

“Jamie was amazing! This was our first experience having an over night sitter and Jamie made us feel so at ease and that she actually cared for our pup. Highly recommend her as a sitter!”

“Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.”

“Angelina is very kind and advised me every time the dogs were given their meds which is my major concern. Left the house very clean and even washed the dog food bowls. I was told her she could leave at 6pm and we would be home at 10pm but she didn’t want to leave the dog along so she left around 9pm so they would not be left alone. I will rebook her”

“My dog loves her!”

“Jacob was great! Walter was very happy when we returned. He kept the place nice and clean, sent us photos of our pup and gave him lots of walks😊”

“Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!”

About: I've grown up with cats since I was 8 and began petsitting for people in my 1st couple years of college around 2015. I've done both dogsitting and catsitting for people and I love both animals equally! I have petsat for people with animals of all ages, with the youngest dog I have watched being about 8-10 months and the oldest being about 14 or 15. I love exploring new places and being outdoors especially since I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S. with the best weather! I find it equally enjoyable to see a dog smile and to see him/her bring joy to their owner and to people around them. I love to see how dogs can bring people together and get people to connect who would otherwise likely never talk to each other. I genuinely enjoy helping others and caring for pets really is its own kind of therapy! I will always clean up after pets even if its raining or if the dog wants to rush off and I have to step on the leash to keep him/her from taking off. I live by the golden rule and will do what I can to hold people accountable for pets that aren't being taken care of and/or cleaned up after. I'm currently working part time at San Diego Community College district as an Educational Coach with a students who are special needs or neurodivergent student population. I work about 17-19 hours a week for that job and am typically away from the home for 5 hours a day or less on Mon-Thurs depending on the day and number of students I'm meeting with. Some administrative tasks for my school job can be done remotely. I want to do more dog-walking and housesitting because it motivates me to stay active and foster connections with animals that my current living situation doesn't allow for. I also love hearing people's pet rescue stories and funny stories because each pet has its own personality and leaves pawprints on others hearts and lives! I love spending time with pets by throwing them their favorite toy and cuddling with them on the couch or bed. I also care for them by taking them for walks or finding the perfect new toy from an old volleyball, piece of rope, or other seemingly random objects that pets decide to take a liking to. Its interesting to see what they choose and of course there are limits there of things that should not be considered due to being hazardous due to being a choking hazard, but I'm all about finding new ways for them to have fun. I will feed them as often as you need and I have also given a dog its pills disguised in peanut butter or in its kibble a few times. If your animal is only allowed in parts of the house or yard I will keep the pens up and only allow it out as directed. I will provide them water as well as with treats or dental chews as preferred. I will take dogs out to use the bathroom as often as I am able, typically once every couple hours while I'm home and once every few hours if I'm going out. Feel free to reach out via text to clarify this, especially if your pet has specific needs or needs to be taken out more frequently to use the restroom.

“Olivia was perfect in every way! Especially because it was my first time leaving my puppy for an overnight trip. Her communication, presence and genuine care allowed me to feel confident going away. She also made it feel so natural to synch up with the rhythm and schedule my pup and I had going which I have found rare, but so essential. And he is a growing 5-6 month old puppy. I will absolutely reach out to her first the next time I go away or need a sitter for my pup.”

“Victoria has always been so kind and gentle with our two dogs and two cats! She sends tons of photo updates which make us feel so much better and they clearly all love her!”

“Daisy was a fantastic house and pup sitter. She was super communicative, professional, and was so great with my rambunctious Australian Shepherd. On top all the great care for my pup, she left my house in great shape- clean, tidy. Will definitely hire again.”

John B.

“Great guys, was extremely attentive with both my larger dogs and had absolutely no issues taking care of them while he house sat. Would definitely hire again! Thankss”

“Stephanie did a great job house sitting for us on short notice. The dogs, the cat, and the house were all well taken care of. We got updates and photos daily and felt comfortable right from our meet and greet. We'd definitely book again!”

Amika B.

“Sarah was so amazing!! We absolutely trusted her with our big ol baby of a Great Dane. She kept our house clean and even have a welcome home gift for us too!! Thank you so much Sarah!”

Amy T.

“100% recommend Alexzandria!! From the time I started messaging her she asked all the right questions about my dogs. She was very flexible and communicated well! I got daily updates without prompt! I was worried about finding someone for 2 dogs, especially one being a puppy but this worked out perfectly!”

Taylor E.

“Chase stayed at our home with Rocky for 11 nights and took great care of him! We received at least a couple pictures and videos every day, which made us feel at ease knowing he was doing well and being taken care of. We would recommend Chase to anyone and have already planned for him to watch Rocky again. Thank you Chase!”

Rachel B.

“I highly recommend Amanda for pet sitting in your home! She sent regular updates and pictures and followed instructions by keeping my Red well-fed and exercised, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She also helped to keep my home tidy! Thanks Amanda!”

Jill O.

“We hired Marcus for house sitting and he was awesome! It’s our first time leaving our dogs for a long time under someone else’s care and instead of being anxious, we felt at peace. Our furbabies loved him, even our senior dog who’s shy and sensitive. We highly recommend Marcus and will definitely hire Marcus every time we’re out of town 😊”

Danielle M.

“Jaelyn has been excellent. She met the dogs before her scheduled time and my dogs quickly grew comfortable with her. One of my dogs had a bad experience with a previous dog sitter and Jaelyn made sure to pay special attention to my dog. She even bought some medication to use on him and helped my dog so much. In fact I feel like she helped nurse him to a better state. Jaelyn is super communicative and transparent. She was really sweet and I am happy to have trusted her with my doggies <3 I would use her services again!!”

Jennifer G.

“Savannah is an absolute gem! She was very professional, responsive, and best of all my pup LOVED her instantly (he normally takes a while to warm up to people). Will definitely be rebooking ?”

“Coco and I are so pleased with Yvette....thank you so very much”
