House Sitting In Lakeshore

About: I am a life-long dog lover who has looked after the dogs in my family for years, from Australian Shepards to Shih Tzus. I began my career in childcare before transitioning to dog-care in recent years. I have experience with looking after dogs of all ages and sizes, which includes services such as feeding, walking, and daily enrichment or playtime. I am a recent USF graduate with lots of time to spare. I am available everyday, and will accept any time of day to take care of your pup. I am also available on weekends and holidays. When taking care of a pet at a client’s home, I make sure to keep the area clean and tidy for sanitary purposes. I am always sure to use a leash when going for walks or potty breaks, and I truly value feeding all dogs a clean, balanced diet. Playful activities with your canine is always special, and I enjoy playing catch or tug with toys that are available.

“Brooke was a great caretaker of our dog Reilly! She stayed at our home with him, was very attentive and kind, and took him out on some great outings. She also did some training with him which we asked for and appreciated. Highly recommended!”

About: I'm a huge cat lover and have taken care of family cats for most of my life. In college, my partner and I adopted a cat of our own, Ophelia, who I pamper and play with every day. I'm passionate about going above and beyond to accommodate all of you and your cat's needs and preferences to ensure I'm providing high-quality, personalized care. Having grown up around cats and being passionate about continuous learning on how to best care for them, I'm very knowledgeable about cat body language cues and behavior. With this knowledge, I'm able to understand and resolve behavioral issues accordingly, whether that means simply giving a cat some space, understanding that they would probably like to play rather than be petted (or via versa), or figuring out why they seem to be avoiding their litter box and doing my best to fix the issue. In addition to my general experience, I also have experience with and am passionate about taking care of cats with special needs. I'm able to administer medication and carefully monitor cats to ensure that they stay healthy and happy. When I was walking home from class in my senior year of college, I found an injured cat on the side of the road and immediately took her to the emergency vet. The vet told me she had a broken pelvis, but that she would likely be able to heal without surgery if given the proper care. She was not able to walk, so I took care of her, cleaning her every day and administering her pain medication every eight hours for a week until I was luckily able to reunite her with her family! I learned that her name was Tessie and that she was a Maine Coon. Tessie's family kept me updated on her healing and I was so happy to hear that she was able to make a full recovery from her injury and walk again. I'm so proud of the part I played in Tessie's healing and want to treat your kitty with the same love and care! I'm a recent college graduate working a remote job and an in-person part-time job a few days a week in addition to cat-sitting. Because of my flexible schedule, I can ensure that I will always be able to make time in my schedule to care for, play with, and pamper your kitty. I will closely follow all instructions regarding feeding your cat, giving your cat care and attention, brushing your cat, playing with your cat with whatever toys he/she prefers, scooping the litter box on a daily basis, and cleaning up the feeding area and litter box area to make sure you come home to a clean house. I take plenty of pictures each day to give you peace of mind that your cat is in good hands. I'm also happy to do other small tasks around the house such as bringing in packages and watering plants.

“Seng did a great job taking care of our pups! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pupdates including photos and videos. You can tell that she really loves dogs and goes the extra mile to play with them and spend quality time with them. She followed our specifications to the letter and took excellent care of our place.”

“Jessica was super respectful of our home, took wonderful care of our high energy dog and checked in regularly, asking great questions that showed she really cared about our dog and home. Definitely the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had!”

Kristen V.

“We love Loretta! She's dog/house sat for us I think 3 times now (maybe more?). She's very conscientious about everything. She leaves the house literally exactly the same way it was when she arrived (which I really appreciate, as I'm really particular about my space and my stuff). She spends a lot of time with my dog. She makes sure to spend a lot of time throwing his ball/toys for him to fetch, which he loves. She's a really clear communicator. And she really cares about the pets! Highly recommend Loretta.”

“Satine was an excellent cat and house sitter. I could tell Pepper was comfortable and well cared for by the pictures and updates Satine sent. She also left the house cleaner than she found it, which we really appreciated.”

Kevin B.

“Leslie was great. She was a good communicator before the sit and my dog loved her. She stayed after I got home to let me know how my dog was. I would definitely recommend her.”

Caitlin D.

“Michaela has been wonderful with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She accomodated us booking her at the last minute before an international trip and was proactively communicating before and during the trip. The pets have been very happy in her very experienced hands and we received the cutest pictures a few times a day. Michaela went above and beyond with our pets and with taking care of our home - leaving stunning flowers on the way out. We personally connected with her and would love to have her back. Highly, highly recommended!”

Alexis H.

“Shai is the BEST!! Truly the best Rover we have ever had. My dog takes awhile to warm up to people generally but loved her the moment he saw her and CRIES when she leaves the house (which he doesn’t even do for us!!). We are so grateful we found her!”

Olivia K.

“Gisselle is wonderful. She's thoughtful, responsible, and took excellent care of my cat. I will absolutely ask her to take care of my cat again. Thanks Gisselle!”

About: Grew up with dogs and love to walk in the city. Can train to sit and shake and provide medication to special needs fur buddies. Part time work is available so I have time to care for your pets! I enjoy walking in the afternoon and can walk your buddy. I am a cat person and respect the first-time boundaries of your furry pals. I not only respect owners home, but the pets home as well. I try to introduce myself slowly to not worry the pet, respect boundaries.

“Nikka was great with my dogs, especially my senior dog that has dementia. We had a meet and greet the day before and she made me feel very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. Nikka sent me photos of the dogs and took such great care of them! My senior dog with dementia requires more supervision and care, Nikka did a great job caring for him in addition to my other 2 dogs. I would love Nikka to care for my dogs again.”

I spend the majority of my time with your dog, making sure they have company and don't feel anxious and aren't left alone for too long.

“Kimberly, you are amazing! THANK YOU! Paws was super happy and well taken care of when I got home. You were patient with him and his "senior-related quirks". I am always apprehensive, and anxious when I have to leave him, especially because of his age. Your frequent updates, pictures, and videos alleviated a lot of my anxiety. I deeply appreciate that you took good care of my home and even tossed in a couple of loads of laundry. I would HIGHLY recommend Kimberly and will use her again in the future.”

About: Hello! Ive worked with many dogs, mainly small dogs but I’ve have had to walk and dog sit a couple of bigger dogs as well I’m currently a college student at San Francisco state. Unfortunately I am living in a dormitory so I cannot host any pets at my home at this moment. Typically I’m not the biggest fan of in closures but if the owner instructs to do so I will. I also don’t rush dogs into feeling comfortable, some dogs take more time and it’s no issue to work around it!

“Perry was wonderful again with our dog, Roan, today! He sent tons of pictures throughout the day, got Roan out on several walks and clearly cares a ton about the happiness and comfort of the pups he is caring for. Can't wait to have Perry back again soon and would recommend him to anyone in need of care for their pups! He is terrific!”

“Amazing pet sitter, my cats loved them. Respectful towards space, I came back home and my furry family was not anxious and looked very happy. Video calls ones a day during drop ins definitely helped my animals to feel better. Appreciate the help with my kitties.”
