House Sitting in Julian

About: Hey there! I’m a local college student currently studying to become an RN, and I’m home for the summer bringing fresh energy and a genuine passion for pet care. I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and grew up on a family farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, from horses and donkeys to our beloved dogs, cats, and everything in between! Over the years, I’ve helped walk and care for dogs for many different families, including first responders and nurses with long or unpredictable work hours. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your pets! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable care tailored to your pet’s needs, and my active lifestyle means your dogs will get plenty of exercise, attention, and playful energy. I treat every animal like family and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friends! I am a senior college student at Biola University studying to get my bachelors in nursing. Currently, I am home for the summer looking to further my experience in the pet sitting business. My scheduling gives me lots of flexibility and opportunities to take care of your furry friends whenever possible. I am a very outdoorsy person and you will often find me outside enjoying sunshine by running or hiking with my dogs. Whether it’s a long walk or some playtime in the park, it’s a great way to keep your pets happy and healthy. I believe it is necessary to respect your home and maintain your pet's routine, including feeding schedules and favorite activities, to minimize stress. I send pictures and text updates ensuring you are well informed and aware of your pups activity. Additionally, I personalize each pet's playtime. Whether it’s extra cuddles for a shy pup or more active playtime for an energetic one, I know it is important for the well being and safety of each dog to be aware of their personal needs and preferences.

About: I've grown up in a household full of pets! I currently have a pup of my own, and have had 3 dogs previously (from pups to senior dogs.) We also have a family cat, so I have experience in that field as well. All animals will get all the love, care, and walks they need from me! Im currently working with a very flexible schedule that I create myself, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your animals! I'm currently open to any day of the week. Whether is just walks and play time, or for multiple days. I have a crate trained, social, and lovable pup so if your dog needs a pal she can help with that. I will provide any specific care or schedule your animals need to be on, and plenty of love that comes with that!

“Maci took great care of my sweet girl. She provided regular updates and photos and I feel my dog was well taken care of. I wound totally recommend Maci as a sitter. Thank you!”

About: I am an animal guy with experience watching many kinds of dogs and cats. I own two pugs one of which is a senior dog and the other a puppy. I have experience with breeding and raising dogs. I love big dogs and small dogs and all dogs in between. I am comfortable around deaf dogs and all dogs with special needs. I am disabled so your pet would be my only priority. I work around my wife's schedule but she only works 3 days a week. Your animal is very special and deserves to be cared for in their home environment. I can play, sit and read or watch TV with your pet. Anything you desire. Short walks for small dogs only as I am disabled, no large dog walks I'm sorry it's a physical safety concern.

“Jenilee is an animal person and people person! I had another sitter booked and she canceled on me so I had reached out to Jenilee pretty last minute. I was so happy she was available. She took great care of my blind senior dog Wilson; they hung out, went outside. Had snack and took a nap. He had an awesome day. Thank you can’t wait to use your services again.”

About: I believe dogs can tell when you truly care about them. I will give your dog plenty of love and attention, whether that be walks, time in the yard, time on the couch, or belly rubs. I take lots of pictures to let the owner know that their pup is having a good time in my care. I also am diligent to follow any care instructions provided to me and to create a safe and fun environment for all the pets entrusted to me. I have owned at least one dog for over 20 years, starting with the family pet as a young girl. I have always taken on the main responsibilities of caring for the family dog and now have two of my own, Nacho and Toby. My husband is a nurse and can administer medication as well. I love all breeds and am open to caring for any size pet. My husband and I have used Rover on multiple occasions for our own pets when we went out of town and have always had good experiences. I am privileged to have a yard and a schedule that allows me to take excellent care of other people's dogs as well. I am currently staying home with my kiddos and will have plenty of time to care for your fur baby as well! Our “grandpa golden” golden retriever is our only fur baby right now, and is a patient and sweet companion for any dog! We have a fenced in yard and a sweet golden retriever to keep your fur baby company and would welcome your dog into our home! We can crate your dog upon request, but usually expect your pet to enjoy our home and yard alongside our family. We will treat your baby as one of our own!

“I had a house/dog sitter lined up but the had a family emergency and bailed on 6 days before I was leaving town. After searching, begging, and panicking, I got a response for Shea who was on board with the work and timeframe! He was very communicative, sending me messages regularly and responding quickly. He kept in the loop about my pets (dog and hamsters). And, one of the most important factors for me, he was kind and enjoyed being with the animals. He has experience with dogs so knows how to work with them and my dog behaved well and listened to him. When we got back my dog was a little confused - this was the first time we had ever left her with another person so we knew that she would be and Shea hung out a few minutes and we talked about some of the many many things he does while we acclimated a bit. My dog has an abuse history but with Shea she wasn't jumpy at all, she was comfortable and felt safe - that alone was a huge sign to me - just seeing how she reacted after a week with him and she was happy, comfortable, and calm. Oh and he pointed out an owie she got while we were gone so we could get it taken care of. Thanks Shea! I highly recommend him to others looking for someone!”

“Lily was an amazing house sitter and took such great care of our dog Marley! She sent daily updates with photos and we knew Marley was well exercised with daily walks and given lots of love. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. I highly recommend Lily and will definitely hire her again. Thank you Lily!!”

“Noemi was great and super responsive! I got lots of pics of my Jellybean and felt like he was in good hands!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for about 10 years, I have watched dogs, cats, horses, pigs, bunnies and even birds. I enjoy taking care of animals very much so know your fur friend is in the best of care I currently work part time and will be available to walk/tend to your fur friend during anytime the day (will vary occasionally) and boarding is available at any time I ask that the owner leaves specific instructions if the animal is to be boarded. I do have a fenced in yard and able to attend/take walks at any time and play with them

“Donatella is AMAZING! It was my first time using Rover and I chose her because of the great reviews from her clients and thought I'd take a chance on her. Turns out, it was a great decision. I have a senior dog that has severe separation anxiety and cannot be left alone. Donatella was so kind and patient with my baby. She even sent me updates several times throughout the day. I highly recommend her for all services in her expertise.”

“I had never used Rover or any service like it before and I was so nervous. I used the house sitting service and Anna was so sweet and took care of my two cats. Not only were the kitties taken care of and loved on, she kept the house all clean! She sent photos and when I reached out she replied in a very timely manner! Anna made my time away home a lot less stressful knowing she took care of everything so well. Any future trips, I’ll definitely be wanting Anna to watch the cats! Thank you ❤️”

“Marissa is an angel and the best dog sitter I have had to this date. I’m an anxious dog mom and she made me feel so comfortable caring for our 80 pound border collie mix. She sent constant photos and updates and he was happy in every one of them. Marissa will take outstanding care of your pet and you’ll be able to enjoy your trip stress free! 🤍”

“Paris took great care of my sometimes anxious dog. She also looked after my fish and chickens. She clearly cares about the animals she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well looked after.”

“We were so happy to have found Brock to watch our little pup. He was attentive to our older dog’s needs and communicated throughout our trip. 5-star service all around. Would highly recommend!”

“Chloe was great, she took great care of my pups. Was on time, followed my pets routine and was very much knowledgeable on pet behaviors. Will definitely recommend her.”

“Claudia is truly exceptional! This was our second time having her care for our four dogs, and she continues to amaze us with each visit. Over Thanksgiving week, she cared for three elderly dogs with gentle attentiveness and one rambunctious four‑year‑old “teenager” pup who is endlessly active and seeking adventures. Her adaptability in balancing the needs of senior dogs with the energy of a high‑spirited youngster was remarkable — each received the perfect mix of patience, play, and love, making us feel completely at ease while away. Not only did she keep the dogs happy and well‑cared‑for, but she went above and beyond in every detail. We returned to a beautifully clean and tidy home — honestly better than when we left it. Her reliability, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile make her an absolute treasure. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, and I have 10 years of professional pet care experience. I can care for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, chickens, and rodents. I enjoy walking, watching, feeding and just generally caring for all animals. Anytime on weekends. I am also available during the day all week except for Tuesday. I take care of animals on a farm and that is taken care of at dawn and dusk. I come with plenty of poop bags, water, and healthy dog treats. I follow instructions to the letter and I make the safety of animals my priority.

“We were so lucky to have found Emily. Our pup, Junie, takes a long time to warm up to new people and it takes a while to earn her trust. Emily was endlessly patient in the drop-ins we had her do before having her stay with Junie for a week. In addition to being a kind and calm person, she knows a lot about being around a reactive dog and earning their trust. We felt totally at ease with Junie in Emily’s care and we loved how Emily put together a shared album to see how Junie was doing throughout the week.”
