House Sitting Lagunitas

“Kat was such an amazing dog sitter to our senior dog Maui. She also took incredible care of our home leaving it clean and in perfect condition. She was super responsive to all communication and gave us updates during our time away. Our dog, who is typically very shy and skittish, loved Kat and felt very comfortable with her. Our dog went on walks and left the house which she typically never does with anyone but us. We plan on using Kat again soon and would highly recommend her!”

“Alisha was a fantastic cat sitter/house sitter while I was away! She was very communicative about my two shy cats and made sure that they were well taken care of while also giving them their distance and letting them warm up to her. She is so kind and personable, as well. I’ll absolutely try to book with Alisha again in the future!”

“Pat was wonderful! She stepped up for me at the last minute and took loving care of my pup and home for the weekend. She sent photos and even indulged my pups fussy diet. I will definitely call on her in the future.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for a variety of pets. I currently have a 19-year-old Sulcata tortoise and a dwarf hamster, and I previously had two cats of my own. I’ve also done dog walking and pet sitting for two large Golden doodles, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I am responsible and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I will help with walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins while maintaining your pet’s usual routine. I’ll also keep your home and any areas I use clean, so everything is in order when you get home. I’ll send photo updates throughout my visits so you know how your pet is doing! I work as an on-call nurse, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can usually work pet sitting and dog walking into my week and am happy to coordinate with you to find a time that works! When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’ll walk and play with dogs, and keep cats fed with fresh water and clean litter boxes, and will give them lots of company. I’ll keep your home clean and send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away!

“Highly, highly recommend Nate! He’s the best. He house/dog sat our three dogs (senior/blind pug, chihuahua, and a spirited Shepard mutt) plus looked after our leopard gecko. Dogs were so well taken care of and our house was left in perfect shape! He communicated wonderfully and sent us adorable pics. Definitely will use Nate again and highly recommend.”

“Kathryn took great care of my pup Rupert and my house! She left my place spotless and sent me a ton of pictures of him while I was gone. He misses her!”

“Amber is responsible and good natured. We enjoyed working with her. She asked good questions and seemed to be loving and kind to our dogs and our cat. We highly recommend her. It is a comfort to find someone you can trust.”

“Bonnie is an absolute DREAM. My Pom is very reactive and needy, and she was not phased and also improved his behavior while I was away. She followed my instructions, was extremely communicative, and sent me so many cute photos and videos (including an adorable video set to a Pomeranian theme song!!!) I love Bonnie, feel like she is part of my Poms family now, and trust her 100% with my baby. Louie loves her! I cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me! From walks and playtime to cuddles, feeding routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved, I’m comfortable with all the little things that make a dog happy. I’ve also had a cat for about four to five years now, so I understand the different personalities and needs that come with caring for pets. I’m attentive, reliable, and the kind of person who will probably take way too many photos of your pet while you’re away(yes I am happy to send them and keep you updated:)). My goal is to make sure your fur baby feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re gone! I joined Rover recently because I work from home and have extra time on my hands throughout the week to dedicate to your pet. I am flexible and am happy to drop in and or walk your furry friend/s. I live in an apartment, so I ensure that I lead an active lifestyle whether I'm working remotely, running, checking out new places with friends, or in the gym. I'm looking to add pet care onto my list once again. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I respect your privacy and follow your instructions whether it's feeding, walks, play, meds, bedtime routine aka whatever your pet needs to feel happy and secure. I try to keep everything as normal as possible so they feel right at home even when you're away! And finally, I am responsible! I make sure to follow all instructions with receipts! :) (meaning if I'm scheduled to give meds at specific time/ add vitamins or take a walk, I will give photo updates as well)

About: I have trained a pit Bull (off leash and crate trained) & Frenchie (puppy pads & leash trained), fostered cats, and cleaned fish aquariums. When in doubt, take your puppy on a walk! I work remotely and am flexible to help out with caring for animals by taking them on a walk/hike or having them over for the night. I have a fenced in front and back yard but would train the dog to poop/pee while going for a walk. I hike Mandeville canyon weekly and would be happy to take your dog with me for exercise.

About: Hello! My name is Lyanne and I have been in the bay area for 7 years. I am currently developing ocean literacy curriculum for National Geographic with a flexible schedule which allows for me to be available as needed for your pet care needs. Attention to detail and communication skills are very important to me. I have always been an animal lover and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I have extensive experience with senior dogs, administering medication, and I understand the patience it takes to work with fearful/timid dogs. While caring for your dog I will send updates via text messages with pictures to ease your mind and let you know that your pet is in the best care possible. I have cat sat for the past 3 years through word of mouth and love creating deep bonds with the animals I care for. Long walks or fun play, keeping their schedules regular is my goal. If you are looking for someone who is trust worthy, caring and responsible then look no further. Please contact me today for your petsitting needs. You will not be disappointed! I will tend to your pet throughout the day since this is my time off and I would not be working. This means, early morning wake up, 30 minutes to an hour walk, 30 minute rest, feeding, followed by relaxation and play until noon. At around noon, another walk (30 minute) and/or play or relaxing depending on energy level of the dog and finally evening, another walk and/or play. If you have a yard, there would be intermittent outdoor time throughout the day, especially as some dogs love to sunbathe, smell flowers, or chase lizards. Basically, I will tend to their needs and make them feel as comfortable as they could be without their owners around. I can take your pet on walks 2-3 times a day (less or more if you would like) and tend to their needs. Since I will be doing this during my time off, I will mostly be home with the dogs (at most 2-3 hours away total doing groceries or going to gym). I can crate your dog if needed, but they will mostly be with me. If there are parks around, I will gladly take them there.

“Wing Cheong Bryan was a fantastic house/dog sitter - the communication was great and I appreciate the amount of photos I got of my pups who had a great time.”

“Merci takes terrific care of our two dogs and two cats, as well as our home, when we travel. She follows instructions very well, communicates often (as requested) including photos, and does not disappoint.”

About: I grew up with a dog at home and still miss his sweet smile (you can see him in my profile!). I’ve always loved taking care of dogs, bringing them on walks, visiting parks, and making them happy by caring for them as if they were my own. I now have a newborn baby and love going on daily walks, usually with her in my carrier and always keeping her safely separate from your dog. It’s been such a joy combining fresh air, movement, and puppy happiness into our routine! My husband and I own our own business, which gives us a lot of flexibility to care for your pup and make sure they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I never take care of more than one dog at a time because I want to give each one my full focus and care. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns ! I’m always happy to chat! We love getting outside, exploring nearby parks, and going on walks—it’s one of our favorite parts of the day. Very flexible! My schedule is very open because I own a business and operate it with my husband and our team in site. Always free for a walk! Very flexible ! I value safety and would never let your dog roam free without my supervision, leash, or anything that’s specifically needed to make sure they are safe.

About: Hi! I've had pets my whole life, up until moving to SF and I know how to love and care for pets big and small! I have experience walking and watching cats, dogs, small mammals, and reptiles. I've walked dogs as large as a German Shepherd and as tiny as a Chihuahua. I am often complimented that the pups I take on walks come back looking relaxed, happy, and if they're young they come back listening to commands better. I work with dogs on pulling and use mindful energetic reinforcement to work on any bad habits the pet parent wants support with. : ) If you’re interested in boarding a pet, I have a gentle golden retriever and a Siamese cat who basically thinks he’s a dog. They are both friendly with any animal. Your pet will have some friends to play with! If they’re not in a playful mood my home is large enough to create separation. I work fully remote and often find myself with a lot of free time in the day. So what else would be a nice treat than to care for an animal! For dog sitting care that is done in the pet parent home I ensure that I understand and follow any instructions you have for arrival, food, water, crating, and locking up. For day care (no overnight) I have my own personal office in downtown. If the pet isn't super hyper active they can stay with me in my office and I can take them out for walks periodically throughout the day along Embarcadero. For boarding I have my home in the East Bay with a dog run on the side, a fenced in backyard with grass. There are dog parks and walking trails 5-10 minute drive from the house.

“Christina was a great sitter for our dogs, fish and home! We'd gladly have her come back and sit for us again. Christina was positive, caring, inquiring, thoughtful and willing to go the extra mile when our flight was delayed and we had to stay away an extra night. One of dogs is quite large and frisky and Christina did a great job of keeping her under control and exercised. On our return our home was clean and just the way we left it. Five stars!”

“Guillermo housesat our Pittie for 13 days and did a great job. This is the second time we used Guillermo’s services. He was was responsive with communications. He sent daily messages with photos of them on walks. He took good care of the house too. It was a great experience. Thank you Guillermo!”

“Gage was great. Stayed with my 15 month old dog while I was working on an ambulance for 14 hours. Took him on 2 walks, played with him, fed him, and even watched my girlfriend's dog for a bit. He was patient with the two different dog personalities.”

About: Consistency is key to dealing with animals. I never take a passive/beta stance. Leash training is a part of the service I provide. When walking, adventuring out is essential to broadening a dogs territory and decreasing the occurrence of aggression. The bond developed between pet and sitter is essential for success and understanding. I have been working with pets for a little over 14years. I do not have issues with socializing aggressive and/or rescue pets. I am very available to consult pet owners on a proper diet and exercise. Weight management is important for longevity of life. My primary concern is the well-being of your pets. I am currently walking 11am-4pm, M-F. I have room for small socialized dogs in my midday group. Open for sitting/overnights, and looking. Have excellent sitting reviews. I will feed and walk your dogs, as that is essential. I have experience in medication admin and basic first aid. I am available to take dogs via my vehicle, and explore the outdoors.

“Janaki was kind, professional, responsible and very loving to my pups. I came home from my trip to two very happy and relaxed dogs. Thank you again!! Hope to book with you again soon :-)”
