House Sitting Lobitos

“Chelsea was so kind and truly cared about my pup's wellbeing. She communicated when he was being difficult about his meds, immediately called me when the fire alarms went off in the complex and took my pup out, and even washed the sheets! Thank you, Chelsea!”

About: I’ve owned pets all my life. I had a dearly loved dog that I saw through from puppyhood all the way to thirteen years old when she passed from cancer. I’ve had two cats since they were kittens, one of which had hyperthyroidism which required daily treatments. He has since passed away from kidney failure at seventeen. As a team with my sister, we personally trained our dog — and even the cats — using books to learn how to bond with the animals. I’ve not had a conventional job working with animals, but I am my friends’ go-to for pet sitting. I’ve done extended stay pet sitting (ten+ days) involving overnight care. I’ve handled daily medications for cats and dogs and worked on leash training for a friend’s dog as well as house training puppies. I currently live with an elderly cat and three freshwater aquariums. I’m available most days of the week and on weekends. I’m a freelance artist and my work is easy to time manage around. I always clean up after a pet and make sure they have easy access to water at all times. I know how to keep dogs inside a fenced area and keep inside cats from running out the door.

“Luke was extraordinary. Exceptional communication: speedy, clear, and friendly. He was genuinely keen to help everything go smoothly. My dog seemed happy with him, and it was effortless.”

“Esmeralda took wonderful care of our dog and cat for a week while we were out of town for the holidays! She sent us photos and updates along the way and both our fur babies were happy and well taken care of when we got home. Thank you Esmeralda!!”

“I needed to find a last minute sitter for my two senior dogs after an unexpected work trip came up and Deborah was kind enough to help me out right away! She is very friendly and the dogs liked her. It is obvious she has lots of experience with different types of pets. She is responsive to communication and followed my instructions. Thank you!”

“Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.”

About: My family and I had dogs, cats, and rabbits. That was before I started living independently, now I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends or neighbors as a favor, and I noticed it brings me value being able to help others with their pets. I'm proactively looking to train dogs, and train cats to live comfortably with other animals (just basic stuff for now) 🤩 I'm currently working in Real Estate most of my work can be done by phone, laptop or videocall. So usually I'm available to take care of your pet at your place, walk your dog outdoors (my place is not available since my landlord doesn't allow pets) and overnights stay 😄 I like to take your dog for a walk/run, also I like being respectful with the neighborhood by picking up your dog's stuff, at home feed them and play around with them to burn energies 💪🏽. If it's a cat, more than happy to play your cat, feed them and or just pet them on my lap 😁 (I'm not allergic to cats btw 🐈)

“Aylia was great! This was our 6-month old Beagle pup’s first experience with a sitter, and it went without a hitch. Our puppy warmed up to Aylia instantly. We will surely use Aylia again.”

“Darya was amazing! She sent me multiple daily updates with photos. The animals loved her right away which was very reassuring and she left my house very clean and even stripped the sheets! I will be using her again.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have taken care of many friend's and neighbor's dogs. I just finished playing Division 1 soccer and have tons of energy! Would love to run/walk/train some dogs with lots of energy. I also enjoy showing the older, more chill doggos some love. I am currently looking for jobs so I have a pretty open schedule. I recently graduated and from UC Davis and would love some time with furry friends. I take my dogs on 2 walks per day and let them out a few times in between to potty. I can walk/feed/train/and show some extra love to your pup if you need some extra help!

“Victor was a fantastic sitter with my pup. He was very professional, very responsive, and made sure my pup got all the attention and exercise he needed!”

Alex B.

“Kellan was above and beyond expectations. She did an amazing job. I would definitely book her again and my fur babies loved her!”

Lynn D.

“He immediately got along with all of our dogs, and they sat next to him, he was playing with dogs and didn't mind the size of our dogs either. Very well-mannered, thoughtful, and great dog sitter - We will definitely ask him again!”

About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life; at both houses we had at least 3 cats and 3 dogs at a time with the occasional hamster, rat, snake, or rabbit. I’ve adopted most of my pets from shelters, and have helped raised two litters (one was kittens, the other was puppies). Having a wide variety of animals introduced me to a wide array of personality types from friendly and cuddly to moody or shy. These experiences have taught me to have an abundance of patience and understanding, and to be able to adapt to individual needs. The animals I’ve watched/raised/trained have been all different breeds and sizes; from a 3 pound chihuahua to a 85 pound German/Pitt mix. I’ve taken care of older dogs, who need extra care, as well as sick dogs and/or dogs with preexisting conditions who require medications once, twice, or three times a day. Not only have I helped with my animals, but I’ve watched other peoples houses/pets as well. I’m pretty much a homebody, so aside from a couple hours each day, I’m available and flexible and can hangout with your pets for as long as you need. I’m a great communicator too, so if an issue were to arise, I will reach out right away because your pet’s health and well-being is my top priority. I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is open and flexible. I do prefer a couple of days of notice in advanced, unless it’s an emergency. I will take care of your pet however you need me to. When it comes your pets health and well-being, I know you know what’s best, and I will never disrespect your wants or needs. If you need me to house sit, I will respect your property. I’m very neat, organized, and clean (slightly OCD) so I would never leave a mess.

“Great communicator, kept great care of my duo and kept me well informed. Kept to their walking schedule and provided much love, attention and cuddles for my babies! Love working with Lauren!”

“John took excellent care of Lucy and the house while house sitting. Sent lots of updates and pictures so I felt I knew exactly how everything was going while I was away. Would absolutely love to have John take care of Lucy the next time we need to go out of town.”

About: I’ve been an in-home house/pet sitter for 3 years now with some consistent and happy pet families. I am happy to stay in home, drop in, do walks, and I’m experienced with cats and any sized dog. I have classes 3 days/week in the mornings, and then work everyday for 3-5 hours in the afternoon. I have space in between those commitments. I put the animal’s needs first! I love to do their favorite things with them. Running, playing fetch, cuddling, going to the park, going on walks, etc.

“Our experience with Alannah was only positive! She was communicative, flexible, and reliable. She followed our instructions for our dog with epilepsy exactly, and all of our animals got a ton of quality time! We arrived home to a clean house and happy pets. We appreciated the frequent photos and updates, and she was very informed about how to take care of dogs with special needs, which made us feel at ease.”

Michelle R.

“Ibraheem was fantastic! He was easy to communicate with, respectful, and always quick to respond. When working with the dogs it was clear that he has experience. He was very calm and caring. I loved the pictures and video he sent. He walked the dogs very well and left the apartment spotless. We would definitely recommend Ibraheem and will be asking him to come back in the future.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and grew up around dogs of all sizes, including our own family Pit Bulls. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, from helping care for our family dogs to pet sitting for friends, relatives, and families through UrbanSitter. I’ve also provided house sitting and cared for both dogs and cats, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, personalities, and routines. My husband and I became dog owners in 2021 when we adopted Beau, our rescued 8-year-old Chocolate Lab/Weimaraner mix. I’ve trained him myself, which has given me valuable experience with large breeds, daily exercise, basic obedience, and understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds and take the time to get to know each dog’s individual personality, routine, and preferences. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, puzzle toys, or simply relaxing at home, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I offer boarding in my home, where your dog will be treated like part of the family. Beau has a calm, gentle personality and enjoys the company of other friendly dogs. He thrives on his routine, and because of that, I understand how important consistency is for pets. I always prioritize safe introductions and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved while they’re in my care. As a middle school administrator, I’m dependable, organized, patient, and attentive to detail. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for a beloved family member, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Since school is currently on summer break, I have flexible availability for boarding, house sitting, walks, and drop-in visits. During the school year, I’m available for morning drop-in visits before work, afternoons after 4:30 p.m., evenings, and weekends. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the day. Once the school year begins, I typically start work at 7:45 a.m. which means I’m also available for morning drop-in visits before work if needed. After work, I’m generally available beginning around 4:30 p.m., as well as evenings and weekends. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. My husband and I live in a spacious 1,200-square-foot, two-bedroom apartment with our calm, friendly 8-year-old Lab/Weimaraner mix. We have plenty of room for dogs to relax indoors, along with easy access to a large grassy area right outside our home for bathroom breaks. We also live next to a walking trail, nearby schools with open fields, and two local dog parks for dogs who enjoy extra exercise and socialization. Every pet is different, so I’ll always follow your preferences and routine, whether that means leisurely neighborhood walks, playtime, or simply sticking to familiar habits. I carefully introduce dogs when appropriate, supervise interactions, and provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
