House Sitting Livermore

About: I provide dependable care with lots of attention, structure and communication so you never have to wonder if your fur baby is in the right hands. I work from home 5 days a week so whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions or simply some playtime and cuddles i am always available. I used to volunteer regularly at my local animal shelter and because of that I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic medications and caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.

“Kayla was very punctual for meet and greet, showed up right when I asked when I wanted to transition to her care and reduce stress on the dogs. She was very communicative, sent pics of the dogs to my wife. You can tell Kayla really loves dogs. She was genuinely excited to sith with them during the meet and greet.”

“Laura was fantastic. She cared for our dog like her own and made sure to give us great daily updates while we were out of the country. She even cleaned the house, which was amazing to come home to after a long trip. We will definitely be rebooking with Laura in the future. She created a great friendship with our dog and we are so thankful!”

About: I offer reliable dog care, including walks, feeding, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. My experience includes walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic pups to senior companions. I’m flexible with timing and can accommodate walks, daycare, or overnight stays based on your dog’s needs I’m currently in school and will be doing different small pet sitting gigs this summer! I would be able to come around 3 times a day. I have a dog and two cats of my own. I enjoy going on walks! I would love to care for your animals with the love that they need!

“Garret followed the instructions for our 3 very particular cats to the letter. In fact, he bonded so well with them that they seem to prefer him to us now. He texted us photos periodically to show how well they were doing. He’s conscientious and caring, and he clearly enjoys interacting with our cats.”

About: I’ve taken care of my cat for 5 years, volunteered 1 year at the Valley Humane Society for cat-care, and have taken care of my sisters, and friends dogs here-and-there. My cat is trained and knows how to sit, stand, twirl, lie down, jump, and give a paw. If I can train a cat, I can deal with your dog. My dog care experience is limited, but, this means I will just be even more cautious and will research the in’s and out’s of dog care like a detective in order to make sure I will get everything right. If you have any specific instructions, I will gladly listen and follow them to a tee. I am great at looking through the eyes of the pet, and adapting my behavior to specific personalities and temperaments. I am great with kids and am creative in the ways I play. My household has 3 adults, 1 senior, and 1 black cat. They will not assist with caretaking but may lightly interact with the pet. The house includes a backyard with a pool and tree-house. Tons of cat toys, cat tree, and a cat-proofed home. 1 huge window to the backyard, and 1 huge window to the front yard (the 2 cat-TV’s 📺), which is perfect for cats to watch the squirrels and birds frolick and the rain and leaves fall. My house is close to the Arroyo River trail, which is a perfect place for dog-walking. Your pet will be cared for, engaged, filled up with safe food, and all-set for a good nights sleep. I go to community college 15 minutes away from my house; and so will be home often. I will have time to take care of your pet after college hours. My home, cat: Your cat will first be placed into my room, and slowly introduced with my cat by scent. If it is clear that the cats are friendly with each other, I may introduce Abraham into the room if it is okay with the owner.* The cat will stay in this room for the night.* I will give the cats necessary space, avoid eye contact until they are comfortable, and will not pet unless they clearly are enjoying it. In the room, the cats will have its own bed, cat tree, litter box, tons of toys and safe spaces where it can retreat to. This room is cat-proofed (wires are hidden or wrapped with hard plastic; no places where it can escape, etc.) Your cat will be 100% safe with me, and will have a lot of fun! Your home, cat: I will interact with your cat in the same respectful way as above ^. I will obey the rules of your home and make sure that I know where the cat is. I am great at engaging even the most bored cats with play, and know how to make it exciting for them. My home, dog: Only small dogs and no overnight. I have a small cat at home, and a large dog will likely scare him. At my house, your dog will enjoy the company of 3 adults and will get to explore a backyard with a pool + tree house. The backyard is fenced, but has much shorter fences on the left-side aisle, and a tree that can be used to escape— so the pup will be leashed at all times or put in a crate (if you have a crate to provide, that would be great!) My house is very close to the Arroyo River trail, which is the perfect place for a dog walk. I will play with your pup like they are my own child! I am creative with the ways I play and try to show them new things. Your dog will be engaged with, fed safe food, supervised and set for a great nights sleep. Your home, dog: I will research the needs of your specific dog breed and comply as precisely as possible. I’ll obey the rules of your home and make sure your dog is entertained, fed, and happy at the end of the day.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family multiple times, giving me real experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine by planning specific times for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, while also checking in throughout the day to make sure the dog is comfortable, safe, and getting enough attention. I would care for your dog in your home by monitoring bathroom breaks, providing regular walks, feeding them on schedule, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Having grown up with both Labs and Shepherds, I am very comfortable being around all sorts of dogs. I started dog sitting while I was in high school and loved the opportunity to get to know other breeds. I am experienced in sitting for dogs of all sizes, dog walking, and giving medication. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, so welcome any chance I get to care for others while their owners are away! I work Monday-Friday at a preschool, but have flexibility during my lunch hour if local to Livermore. During the week I am off by 4:30 or 5:30, depending on the day, and am completely open on weekends. While caring for your pets, I will always treat them as if they were my own. Every family has their own special routine, and I find that very important to follow to ensure each and every dog feels as comfortable as they can while their owners are away.

About: I grew up with big active dogs so I understand their needs and habits including affection, energy, and naughty tricks. I volunteer at an animal shelter so am well versed in a variety of dog breeds and dogs with unique histories. Because I am a grad student, I have the flexibility to be at home with your pet while I study. I have acted as a cat sitter as well and have come to love them too! I do not have experience with new kittens so adult cats preferred please. This summer I am fully at your disposal. I am on summer break between grad school programs. You can expect full time attention to your pets. Will update come fall. Your guidelines are my rules! I am happy to crate your pets, let them roam free, or have them sleep in the bed with me (more common request than you’d think) LOL. If you are local, I am happy to let your pup have some outside off leash time in my own fenced in yard, but I do not board dogs in my own home as I live with family while in grad school. I am happy to stay at your home or if you are local, just swing by for hangouts, walks, and bathroom breaks. If you are outside of Pleasanton, overnight stays at the dog’s home are preferred due to travel time. I am also capable of administering dog medications including pills and oral liquids, just leave me instructions!

“Michael is awesome with my pets! He was very attentive to detail in terms of the care and attention both my cat and dog require. He kept me informed by sending me photos of both pets each day I was away from them. He stayed in my home so was also able to bring in my mail and newspapers and water my plants as requested. If he had a question, he didn’t hesitate to contact me. I had complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away on vacation. I will rebook with Michael again without any hesitation.”

“Cecelia was amazing. Our dog just got neutered and Cecelia took really good care of him. Leo had a really good time with her.”

“Holly exceeded my expectation I had for a pet sitter. She arrived on time, immediately connected with Lily, and took the time to learn all about Lily's routine and preferences. Her questions showed how much she cared about providing the best possible experience for my dog. During her visit, Holly kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It was obvious that Lily was comfortable, happy, and received excellent care. Holly is professional, dependable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals. She has two dogs of her own. I feel fortunate to have found Holly and will absolutely book her again. I recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking exceptional care for their pet.”

“Katrina had a wonderful bond with Roxie. Roxie looked fabulous when we got home. She took such great care of Roxie and sent me pictures along with updates on how Roxie was doing while I was away. Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”

“Amy came to our house and watched our cat and our dog. She gave us daily updates and pictures. She was very nice, and communicative which was so nice since it was our first time leaving our cat. We will definitely be using Amy again.”

About: I grew up with two Golden Retrievers and learned to take care of them at a young age. I also have experience with pet sitting for neighbors and friends animals, whether that be staying at their homes or bringing pets into my own home. I love dogs so much and believe they deserve to be protected and respected just as humans are! I am a college student home for the summer, meaning I have tons of free-time to hangout with the pups. My routine is very simple and includes walking my own dog daily! I have a 3 bedroom home that also includes a fenced in backyard for your pup to play outside! I have a 10 year old Golden Retriever who gets along well with all breeds and is very mellow.

“We can’t begin to thank Kristi enough for coming to our rescue and taking fabulous care of our lab Dexter and our itty bitty kitty Willy ! She cared for our home like it was her own, everything was right in its place when we got home. Her communication with us while we were gone was fantastic, she let us know every step of the way how things were going and the pictures and videos were so fun to receive!! We wouldn’t give it a second thought to take full advantage of Kristi’s services again when needed !”

“Abigail did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of my dog Huckleberry. I would recommend her for any services you may need.”
