House Sitting in Madera Acres

“Shauna is excellent! She watched my pug, Frenchie & three cats, for three nights in our home (For the second time). She did great with my dogs, even with my crazy Frenchie. She even watered my son‘s garden for him and followed directions to a T. The house looked great when we got home and all my pets were happy. I’m so thankful to not have to worry about them when I’m away. She’s the best!”

“Christina was amazing. In every photo that she sent me of my dog and cat, they were happy and relaxed. She followed my care instructions to the T. She sent me updates and was available whenever I needed her. She reassured me and helped me feel confident and comfortable leaving my babies. I cannot sing her praise hugh enough. She will absolutely be the first person I contact in the future when I need to go out of town. Thank you Christina!”

“Mary stayed with our two Australian Shepherds while we made a quick overnight trip. I felt comfortable with her experience with larger (and enthusiastic) dogs. She kept up good communication with us while we were away.”

“Kate was AWESOME! She totally came through for our family last minute and took wonderful care of our furry friends Macaroni & Parmesan as well as our home. She sent photos and took the pups on a few walks, which I know can be a riot at times. We even ran into her subbing at our kids school lol. She has kind energy, we would and will recommend her services to our friends. Thanks a ton Kate, we look forward to booking with you in the future.”

“Thanh-Mai was absolutely incredible! We have a very anxious and nervous Dalmatian so we weren’t sure how our Ella would do for a full 8 days with someone new in her space but she had a blast! Thanh-Mai was open to multiple meet-ups so Ella could warm up to her. By the second visit Ella was stoked to see her which really eased any worries we had about leaving her. We received pictures and updates all throughout the week with careful attention to Ella’s feelings and reactions. Thanh-Mai stayed in our apartment to keep Ella in her usual environment and when we got home she had left the place so clean and neat! It made for such a nice arrival after two days of flying. We couldn’t recommend Thanh-Mai more! Thank you for creating such a safe space for our puppy!”

“Jessica was timely , responsive and kept me abreast of status of my pup Noelle . She made me feel comfortable by sending lots of pic and keeping her safe by holding her to ensure she doesn’t run out and get hurt . She fed her , brushed her coat and teeth and provided ample play time . She maintained my home . I would recommend Jessica in the future .”

“Jace did an amazing job taking care of my dog! He was a wonderful companion and made my pup feel comfortable, especially since my dog tends to get stressed when left alone or in a new environment. It was clear that Jace was patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. I truly appreciated the peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m a recent college graduate, excited to spend time with some wonderful doggies! I have cared for my family dog, Buddha for nine years. I have also helped family members and friends with house sitting, walk schedules, and doggy play dates! I am attentive to detail, capable of executing complex instructions, and treating your dog as if they were my own! I am a recent graduate from UCLA and working part time. I have a flexible schedule and am able to work around your pup’s specific needs! I will prioritize holistic care for your dog. In addition to quality time, I am able to complete complex instructions, walk schedules, housing needs, and more. I believe that my passion for dogs will ensure that you can maintain peace of mind away from your doggy.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all breeds and sizes my whole life and cared for most small and medium sized dogs for many years. I have a medium sized dog who loves being around other animals, but mostly likes dinner and naps! I’m currently working Monday through Friday 7-4 so weekend care is best for me. I’m available for evening check ins or walks. Because I’m a teacher, I’m available most holidays and breaks. I have a large fenced and walled in yard. There is a pool and that is gated off, too. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walks. I have space to feed dogs in different areas so I can be sure everyone gets there full meal.

“Michael was amazing! He took care of our pups well and sent updates consistently with pictures. Very communicative and respectful of the house. Will hire him again.”

About: I have several years of experience dog-sitting in a variety of settings. I’ve helped run flyball shows, which gave me hands-on experience with high energy dogs in fast paced environments. I’ve also done long term overnight dogsitting for families who were out of town for multiple weeks, making sure their pets were safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In addition, I regularly do daily drop-ins for dogs in my neighborhood and for families I used to babysit for, building strong and trusted relationships with both pets and their owners. Right now, I’m working a full-time job Monday through Friday, so my availability is limited to weekends for drop-in visits (not overnight stays). Starting in early August, my schedule will open up, and I’ll be more flexible and available for a wider range of dog-sitting services. My dog-sitting style is all about making each dog feel like they’re with family. Whether it’s my own pets or dogs I’m caring for, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, playtime, and even their favorite spots to nap. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable by giving them plenty of attention, treats (if allowed), affection, and exercise. My goal is always to make them feel just as happy and cared for as they do when their family is home.

“Alexis was great! We had a last minute need to book a pet sitter and had some difficulty finding someone with all the dates open. We luckily found Alexis and she couldn’t have been more perfect. We did the meet and greet the day before leaving on our trip and knew immediately that we could count on her to be reliable compassionate with our dachshund. We could tell that he really liked her. She was very responsive in all communication and provided many great pics of our little guy while we were away. We will recommend her to our friends and make her our first choice for future bookings. Can’t say enough about her calm disposition and caring attitude. Thank-you, thank-you Alexis for being there when we needed you. Since we were away for a family death and funeral, knowing that we had someone as trustworthy as you to take care of our pet enabled us to focus on family and make the trip as best as it could.”

“Martha did a great job. My mind was put at ease when I was away for almost a week, knowing that my pet was loved and cared for.”

About: Hello, my name is Kimberly. I’ve been caring for pets for about 5+ years now, I’m experienced with small pets to large farm animals. I’m currently studying to become a vet technician in the future as my love for animals continues to grow and amaze me everyday. I love caring from silly puppies to sweet gentle seniors. I’m currently working full time as a vet technician, on my days off I enjoy spending the time with my animals or others as it’s something I’m very passionate about and it brings me so much joy! At the moment I don’t offer any care for pets in my own home. However when it comes to caring for your pet in your home, I promise to be respectful of your home. I love caring for pets in their own home as they aren’t as stressed since there in a familiar area, which is what I always try to achieve with my services.

About: I have had to help and support my three dogs at my old home. Also, I have had to help support my roommate's new dog. Some of the things that I have done included picking up poop, walking the dog, and feeding them to help my roomate or family have a break while they were at work. I am currently in need of a job to pay rent during the summer. My summer hours range from morning to mid-afternoon Monday through Sunday. When I have my full-time job in August, I am available for the weekends or part-time. Walking/House Sitting (your home): I will take your pet on a desired walk rate. I will play/socialize with your pet. I will take them on potty breaks as needed. I will monitor and support your dog. I can help clean their poop or pee when needed.

About: I have been working with animals since the age of 10 where I volunteered at a family friend's dog daycare. I learned the basics of animal care there and went on to do great things in the field. I went on to do years of volunteer work as well as an internship at a Non-profit cat shelter and clinic. I worked for a few different dog day cares both here and in Reno where I spent a year. I have my own fur babies whom I love to pieces. I am Pet CPR and first aid certified. I also have grooming experience. I can cut nails, give baths, teeth brushing, and minimal hair trims. I also have knowledge in pet nutrition. Your pet will have a blast with me! I can guarantee dog park runs, getting to sleep in bed, and just an overall comfortable experience. Thanks for reading! Please note: My boyfriend will be accompanying me to any overnights. And if I am unavailable, he will take on clients as well. *Additional fees apply when outside of immediate location.* I work 4 days a week as a first responder and Brandon works 3 days as a first responder/teacher so someone is always home with pets and if we both have to leave, it won’t be for longer than an hour or 2. We have a fenced in yard, spare bedrooms, extra crates if needed, and always someone home with your pets! We always lock up food/meds to prevent any accidental ingestions.

About: I have the patients it takes to love any pet. To help and care for them as if they were my own. I like to walk and play with my dog, so it will be easy to do the same with yours. A happy pet has a happy owner i would say. What ever the need, i will learn and do what i can to take care of you pet the way you do on a day-to-day basis. In other words i like to take care of pet no matter what. Loving your pet is important to a pet owner knowing if your pet will like others and is playfully energized is key. Not all people are cut out to lobe animals as i say i do.

About: I have 17+ years experience caring for dogs. My experience comes from not only my own personal dogs but from volunteering, fostering, and rescuing dogs from shelters. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and special or senior needs. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate you and your pets’ routine and needs. I am mostly available mornings, evenings, and weekends with some exceptions. I have experience with always checking fences and gates before letting a pet outside. I supervise interactions between pets. I provide updates on the pet's well-being.
