House Sitting in Manzanita

“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”

“I found Nadalie to be quite reliable with house-sitting and cat-sitting for me when I was away. She took our garbage to the curb and returned the cans and kept our outdoor plants watered as requested. My cat was healthy and happy when I returned home. My home was kept neat and was clean when I arrived back from my trip. I am pleased with her service.”

“Kathleen was a true professional from the start. She was communicative and prompt. She took excellent care of our home and our dog. She even went the extra mile and took care of our gardens and chickens. She left the house tidy and it was clear she'd been very respectful of our home during our 2 week trip.”

“Sarah is one of the best people I’ve met to take care of my dogs. Bruno and Chewie were thrilled to spend time with her. She sent tons of pictures and details of their days every day of the week. Thanks to her, our family was able to travel without any worries about the puppies. I’m blessed to have met her and I’m really sad to see her move out of our home town. She is welcome back to visit us any time she comes back to the Bay Area ❤️”

“Penny did an amazing job with our anxious rescue dog. She was patient and let Lucy approach her in her own time and went above and beyond to make Lucy feel safe and secure. We will definitely be requesting her for future jobs. Thanks, Penny!”

“Sierra is such an awesome dog and house sitter! We were nervous about leaving our two pups alone for the first time while traveling internationally. But from the moment we met Sierra we could tell she was warm, responsible, and a truly kind person that we could trust. She took great care of both our pup and our home, leaving everything spotless and exactly as we left it. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our boys were in her capable hands. We loved her daily photo updates showing the dogs having a blast playing and walking with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! Thanks Sierra!”

About: I have been taking care of others pets for about 5 years now and have had family pets of the furry, feathered, and scaly varieties my entire life. I've mucked stalls, scooped poop, cleaned cat boxes, all of the not so glamorous parts, and have enjoyed walking, playing and spending quality time while meeting each furry friends every day needs. I currently have a French Bulldog named Sophie and a Leopard Gecko named Leo who I have loved taking care of every day! I am currently on summer vacation so I am free every day except for two vacations I have planed. I am able and willing to stay as many days as you need in your home any time of the week with your pets. My basic pet care will include bringing pets to the bathroom about every 2 hours, feeding pets required amount told by owners, playing with pets multiple times a day, cleaning up after pets, and any other special care instructions given by owners. Care may vary depending on the type of animal.

We highly recommend Deolia and will use her again if we ever need someone to take care of our dog in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages as a house/dog sitter for 10+ years. I’m often the first one friends, family, neighbors or acquaintances call when they’re heading out of town and need someone to watch their furry family members. I work from home, so I can be with your pet for most, if not all, of the day. And no commute = lots of time for walks and playtime! I will care for your dog as if it were my own - whatever instructions, routines or rhythms they are used to, I am happy to accommodate!

About: My passion for animal care started when I was around 12 years old. I helped watch large to small dogs, to sassy cats, to even some chickens here and there. Whenever a family member or friend needed help with their little fur baby’s I was always the first to volunteer. Making sure anyone’s little friend is fed, clean, and safe until their owners can return back to them. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your little friend! All of my mornings are open until 11am, which allows me to either stop by and visit for a fun playing session, or a long walk in the fresh mornings. However I am unfortunately busy during the evenings until 7pm on most weekdays, and 8pm on the weekends. Though that doesn’t mean it dampens my energy or motivation to come and visit for an evening stroll, or to stop by and give the attention your little fur baby deserves. I make sure to treat anyone’s little friend as if they were my own, making sure to keep them fed, clean, and comfortable in any environment they are in. I am currently not looking to house anyone’s dog at my own home, mainly cause I have two cats of my own who are afraid of dogs. Though if for whatever reason your little friend needed to come over, I have a fenced in backyard they can play in until I can get them back to their home safely.

“Indigo was an excellent dog sitter. She was very communicative and sent us updates and photos - we could see that Goose had a great time with her. She also left our apartment super clean and spotless. We highly recommend Indigo and would love to book her again!”
