House Sitting Lakeshore

“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.”

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.

“Merci house sat our two dogs and two cats for a three day weekend (we have worked with Merci several times now). She completed all the tasks we requested, even put the waste/recycle bins at curbside. She's reliable and responsible, we will definitely use her again.”

“We would give Perry 10 stars out of 5 if possible. He was very professional and knowledgeable. Asked great questions during the meet and greet which showed he cared the pups received great care. He communicated frequently and gave great updates. We came home two two very happy and healthy pups. Would 100% work with Perry again”

“I’ve booked Cameron for cat sitting 3 times now, and this was our first time also including house sitting because we were gone for longer. She does an amazing job with our cat and sends a bunch of pictures every day. It really helps us feel fully relaxed when we’re on vacation, knowing that our little guy is totally taken care of!”

Sara P.

“Seng is absolutely amazing! My cats love her. She spends quality time with them, pays extra attention to the cat sitting notes, and my cats are always so happy and calm when I come home. I never worry about leaving my cats at home while I go on vacation when I know that Seng is cat sitting.”

“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!”

“Emily was amazing. Professional, polite, very responsive, trustworthy, and most importantly took great care of our home and doggos. Wouldn't hesitate to work with Emily again. 10/10.”

“Elizabeth is great! It was our first time leaving our 16week old puppy alone with a sitter for several hours, and Elizabeth kept us at ease with regular updates and photos. She brings a very calm energy and I would recommend her for anyone looking for someone to care for their precious angel!”

Christopher A.

“Madison took great care of my two cats and dog. She was communicative and provided updates throughout the pet sitting. My dog takes some time to warm up to new people and Madison was so patient with her. I would for sure book her services again.”

Breana I.

“Monica stayed at our house for several nights and she was wonderful with our dog, Mack! We received several daily updates with photos and it was clear that she was keeping him well exercised and entertained. She communicated very quickly with any issues that came up and left the house in excellent condition. We felt very reassured that Mack was in such good hands. We look forward to using her again.”

Mary C.

“Muhammad is a phenomenal dog sitter who earned our complete trust. He was amazing with our two Dobermans, remained highly responsive, and provided constant photo and video updates. When one of our dogs became sick, he handled the situation with total professionalism and compassion—even going above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog’s diarrhea. We are incredibly grateful for his care and will absolutely book him again!”

Marcos G.

“Gisselle was great watching our dog, Sasha, for the first time. She sent lots of pictures of our girl while we were away and gave periodic updates on how their day was together. Upon our return, the apartment is clean and Sasha is in great spirits. I can tell she was well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely be working with Gisselle again in the future!”

About: I live with an active Siberian Husky, so I’m very familiar with dogs who need more than a short loop around the block. I’m comfortable with strong walkers, high-energy dogs, and dogs who benefit from structure and consistency. I also grew up with a Cocker Spaniel and Springer Spaniel so my experience truly spans the gamut. I build my days around dogs and walking. I’m out with my own dog every day and keep a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of room for weekday walks. I intentionally keep my service area close to home so I can be dependable, unhurried, and consistent with the dogs I care for. Recurring weekday walks are especially welcome. I treat every dog and home with the same care I’d want for my own. I follow your routines closely, double-check doors, gates, leashes and harnesses before heading out, and never leave a dog unattended outside. I take time to learn each dog’s temperament, triggers and walking habits, and I’m thoughtful about interactions with other dogs and people. In your home, I respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and keep communication clear, including photos and an update after every walk.

“Silvia was fantastic! She was great with our cats and dog, and sent lots of pictures. Even our very shy cat warmed up to her quickly. The house was well taken care of, and our dog clearly had a fantastic time with her.”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with 5 years of experience, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and puppies. I provide loving care, regular walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention to help pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away.🐶🩷 I’m currently waiting to hear back about my Master’s degree application in the Bay Area, which gives me a lot of free time and flexibility in my schedule. Unfortunately, because of my current lease agreement, I’m not allowed to have a pet of my own. As someone who comes from Istanbul, a city full of animals and known for its love of cats and dogs I really miss having animals around me. For me, pet sitting is the perfect way to fill that gap while helping pet owners feel at ease when they are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they receive the attention, care, routine, and affection they need. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to provide a safe and loving environment while their owners are away.💞 Every pet is different, and I believe caring for them means understanding their individual needs and personality. I have cared for multiple pets, each requiring a different approach. One of the Persian cats I looked after was 19 years old and needed special care. I had to prepare specific meals, make sure fresh water was always available, and assist him when he needed help getting to and from the litter box because of his age. For the Exotic Shorthair and Tabby cats I cared for, keeping their environment clean and making sure their litter boxes were well maintained was especially important. I also spent time playing with them and giving them attention so they felt comfortable and secure.💕 I have also cared for a dog who had unfortunately been abandoned three times in the past and struggled with anxiety. Whenever his owners left the house, he would cry loudly and become distressed. 😔The most important thing for him was reassurance, patience, and helping him understand that he wasn’t alone. Seeing him calm down and feel safe was incredibly rewarding.🐶❤️ Through these experiences, I learned that there is no single way to care for animals. Every pet has different needs, routines, and emotions. Once I understand what makes your pet comfortable and happy, I adapt and do my best to provide the care and attention they deserve.🙏🏻

“Danielle was great with my anxious pup! She made herself available at the last minute after another sitter cancelled, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Adare with her for the day. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.”
