House Sitting Laurel

“Kasey was phenomenal! She house and pet sat for me for a little over a week while I was on vacation. From the initial meet & greet through the entire sit, she was great at communicating, asked good questions to make sure my pets got their needs met, and just had a clear love for animals. She sent great updates with lots of photos and even got my very pully pup out on walks every day (not something I require, because he pulls real hard, but something he LOVES). She also worked SO HARD to get my very timid cat out of her shell, playing with her daily, and even convincing her finally to seek some pets and affection. When I say this is miraculous, I'm very serious. I felt totally at ease about my pets well-being with Kasey caring for them. She also kept the house immaculate and even checked on my plants. I will 100% be contacting Kasey for future visits, and I've already recommended her to my sister.”

“Our dog was tired and happy! Cara seemed to take good care of her, and was sweet and considerate when she had to deal with our dog having a surprise incontinence issue on our bed one night. We appreciated Cara a lot!”

“Alyssa stayed in our home and watched our two dogs, cat and guinea pigs for three nights. She was very communicative and always very quick to respond to any texts or questions. She was also very accommodating, in regards to our schedule that ended up changing a bit. She was tidy and thorough. We will definitely love to rebook her in the future. Thanks Alyssa!”

“Lisette is our go-to sitter! She is always prompt with her responses, sends great photos, asks good questions and adapts as requested. My pup and I are so grateful for her!”

“Shivani was so loving with our dogs and very communicative! My partner and I realized we were looking forward to new pictures several times a day while we were gone. It gave us such extraordinary peace of mind to know that somebody who cares so much about our girls was there, not only to feed them and give them their meds, but to keep them company and play with them.”

“Paola was great with little Beau 🐶 he loves her already! She had to be at our house crazy early in the morning, she got here a few minutes early & was wide awake and joyful…. Beau & I will invite Paola back whenever possible!!! 🐶💕”

“There aren’t enough words to express just how attentive and amazing Quishu is: Positive, dynamic personality with an ability to get zen when needed. She’s the kind of personality our beagles need. She followed all our doggie care and home instructions, it was such peace of mind. She sent frequent photos and videos which showed us that our adopted and often timid beagles trusted her, felt safe with her and were actually being their true goof ball selves. Most sitters think they’ll try to “fix” their issues which never works and creates a tense dynamic, but Qishu didn’t appear to judge us for all our instructions and expectations. She respected our requested level of care and the beagles and her bonded. Thank you Qishu!!”

“Yasmeen was amazing! She was so friendly, communicative, and warm. She genuinely cares about building a relationship with the animals she looks after. She sends constant updates to let you know how things are going. She was a wonderful sitter and we would be so happy to have her look after our dog, Skylar, again! They became the best of friends. ?”

“Laura was awesome with our pup Charlie! Sent us lots of pictures and updates and communication was a breeze. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Maya was awesome. She came to take care of my two boys. She was prompt and helpful, easy to talk to and work with, and was a great houseguest. She provided updates when asked how the boys are doing. She made sure my dogs got everything they needed, especially extra snuggles. My anxious terrier felt really comfortable with her and Maya was successful with giving my dachshund his daily meds. I will definitely use Maya again the next time I need help caring for my dogs!”

“Angelique was very fast to respond and accommodating! She followed instructions and kept my dog happy and safe! She sent me updates and pictures and videos!”

About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a 8 year old Miniature Pinscher, Norman, who has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own way. (I don’t have him with me full time) I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. I am home in the morning and evenings on the weekdays. I am free to take your pets out on walks every couple hours or as needed. I prioritize safety and trust by maintaining a clean, secure environment for pets. I ensure their routines are followed, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and always keep a close eye on them to prevent any accidents. Your pets will feel comfortable and cared for in my home or yours. I have a fenced in yard as well

“Rita did an excellent job taking care of Zeus. She responded quickly anytime I would ask for an update on Zeus. She sent me some very cute pics of my boy!”

About: I love dogs so much and I know that may sound generic but dogs are so pure and lovable. My love of dogs started with a dog sitting gig that sparked this love and lead me to be a pup parent to Colonel Peanut who passed in 2020. He was a three legged trip that was my ride pr die for 8 years. Since his passing I have leaned into dog walking and dog sitting for others while the grief moves in waves. Point Isabel is one of my favorite places if your pup is an off leasher! Otherwise I love neighborhood walks where we can explore and smell and admire the flowers and discover birds of your area. I have experience with basic training, administering meds, and observing your pup to see what they are telling me they need. I work from home and can be somewhat of a house cat myself if I'm not out for walks with pepperonis. I have a very flexible schedule to fit your pet's needs. I can accommodate last minute booking so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I know what it’s like to be a pet parent so I will treat your pet and home as my own. I will make sure to check all the boxes like refilling water, feedings, sharing snacks and giving medications, or cleaning/refreshing the litter box for kitties.

“I was so grateful that Cassandra and her daughter (who’s also on Rover) watched my dog, Shaya, after a very last minute cancellation from another sitter. Shaya can be nervous and a bit reactive, but was immediately comfortable with both, and they each clearly have a lot of experience with dogs. They sent regular photos and videos and took beautiful care of my home. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Korin. She took care of our 3 year old, highly energetic/anxious pup Louie for a full day at our home. Louie quickly warmed up to Korin and enjoyed plenty of cuddles and playtime throughout the day. Korin was positive, caring, communicative, and clearly has a lot of experience caring for pets. We would work with her again in a heartbeat.”

About: I’ve loved cats all my life, and I love meeting new ones! I’m trained and experienced in cat care, body language, and behavior from kittens as young as 8 weeks to senior cats as old as 18 years. I volunteer with under socialized cats, sick and special needs cats, and cats with behavior quirks at Cat Town - a cat rescue in Oakland. Through my experiences with pet-sitting, volunteering, and fostering, I’ve learned to administer oral, topical, and injected medications (and an asthma inhaler!) and meet cats where they’re at to provide love, attention, and playtime! I’m looking forward to the chance to meet your cat and spend time with them :) My job has flexible start times, so I can visit your pet in the mornings and evenings as needed on weekdays. I am also available for weekend stays or visits! I am dedicated to not only your pet's safety, but also their health and well-being! I will do my best to stick to the routine you've developed with your pet, from meals to playing and lots of pets! I also give thorough updates, since I want you to feel at ease while you’re away from your pet!

About: I have cared for multi-pet households. I have experience feeding, brushing, changing litter, and administering medication. I love animals of all sorts. I am also good with them. I am good at reading their body language, and a lot of them gravitate towards me for whatever reason. They tend to be comfortable with my presence. I am between jobs at the moment, so that means I am somewhat more flexible to work around your schedule. I am a little bit busy with stuff in my personal life, and obviously I have boundaries about when I can and can't be at your home and how much work I want to take on, but the lack of structure in my life right now means we have more options for how I can show up for your pets. I am not in school either at the moment. I am not planning to have this be my only source of income, but for now I am flexible. I can't have pets come to my apartment; it is too small and I don't live on the bottom floor so it would be too much of a hassle to take them outside. I can only come to your home. I am very respectful of boundaries and property when I enter someone else's home. I will pay close attention to your instructions about how to care for your pets and any important other details I need to know. I am responsible and detail oriented, so you can trust me in your home and with your animals. I care that my clients feel secure with me being there while they are away.

About: I have experience with cats and dogs of all shapes, sizes, & ages! I currently have an extremely cute and well-behaved 10yo black cat, but primarily grew up with dogs as well. My parents have 2 golden doodles in the family and I have trained 3 puppies over the past 7 years. I have experience caring for pups ranging from 150lb English Mastiffs to 6lb Papillons. I’m currently job seeking and new to the area, so I have plenty of time throughout the day to play with your animals! Seeking both regular and flexible opportunities. I care for my own pets by making sure their wants and needs are met. I love spending time outdoors and love going for hikes with my own pets.
