“Angelique was flexible, communicative, and super loving with our dogs. She was willing to come walk/meet the dogs prior and get to know them and our house. Her messages during the trip were informative, reassuring and had pics to make it easy to know our pups were doing well. We’ll definitely be adding her to who we reach out to for future trips. Thank you!”
“Erica was great with our puppy! We had never left him overnight before so were very nervous but she put all our nerves at ease by frequently checking in with updates and photos. She took him on multiple daily walks and gave him lots of love and playtime! We would definitely book her again to watch our puppy and I would definitely recommend her to others who are looking for a sitter to watch their animals.”
“Fortunately for my cats and I, Justin was available to house sit due to an unexpected cancellation. It was a distressing time for me, but I felt reassured when Jistin arrived at the home and tended to the cats needs right away. I am grateful for Justin's prompt reply to my inquiries and professionalism.”
“Sarah is so reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent us just the right amount of photos and check-ins while we were away. I will completely trust her with my dog any time. She is great!”
“Francis was a fantastic sitter for our dog and cat, we could not have asked for better person to look after them. Francis was meticulous from the beginning, I appreciated the initial meeting where we could share important details to ensure a right fit. During the stay he was extremely diligent, and even changed his schedule to fit with our cat’s medication timings. He was gentle and loving to both of our pets and provided us continuous updates. We could not recommend him enough and have already rebooked him for our next trip out of town.”
“Katie did an excellent job of cat sitting/house sitting while I was on vacation for a week. I felt at ease knowing she was there to look after my cats, and they were comfortable with her. One of them even took naps in her lap. The photos were very sweet. I will definately be using Katie again on my next vacation.”
“Natalie was amazing! She took great care of the dogs, including a troublesome puppy, and was super respectful of the house, the schedule, and our time! She took the request last-minute which was great and she was flexible and experienced with handling my dogs’ varying energy levels. She also contacted me right away when there was an issue and handled it like a pro! Would definitely book again & recommend.”
“My cats warmed right up to Demi! It was a great peace of mind having her stay in my home with them so they wouldn't be bored or lonely with an empty house while I was away on a weekend trip. Demi was communicative and sent frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Marney was very detailed and caring for Timon. She not only messaged and sent pictures throughout the day, but also left detailed notes and a cute report card on how the day went. She handled Timon well on their walk, even when he started acting up and biting the leash, clothes, and even her arm :( She also handled another dog who sprinted up to them and kept the two separated. Marney is very reliable and your dog will be in good hands!”
About: I was born surrounded by feral and inside-bound animals. Taking care of my felines mainly by playing, grooming, and maintaining trust as the most important factor. I've supported other friends' and families dogs and puppies as well, handling unfixed boxers or high energy german shepard mixes to 6 month old puppies. Cleaning up after them, feeding proper portions, and keeping them safe from themselves/others, and the environment. I maintain a flexible week schedule through Monday and Friday that will become more crowded beginning August 18th. I'm an undergraduate student at Chabot College, trying to save up money and help communities in a way I deeply enjoy. 9 am - 9 pm is my daily schedule with housesitting available until you need! With at least a 1 day notice, cancellation at least 1 day prior please. Scheduled walks are completely available, or simple check-ins where I can befriend your kitty or pup! I'm always open for questions of any kind! With my cat, Beans, I've given her spaying medication when necessary, gently and with patience. Keeping the cat box and environment clean is vital to de-stress animals. Being slow with them, allowing them to adjust to me, is the first step I would take with your pet. Any behavioral issues would be important to address first, Im able to give animals their space and complete any business necessary, but give me tips if your fur baby is sensitive. I have access to a vehicle and of you'd allow me, and your pets deeply enjoy it, I'd love to take your pup and maybe brave cat on a joy ride around your home for the breeze and sights. I'm open to doing picture or video/call updates routinely while taking care of your cherished pets!
