House Sitting Marina

About: I have experience potty training puppies, and administrating multiple medications for dogs if needed! I can also walk your dogs and send pictures every day while I am taking care of them. I’m a student at CSUMB, so I will be available mostly on weekends (Friday included). I don’t mind going a bit out of my way, within reason. I take care of my pets as best as I can, and will try my best to clean up after both your pet and myself if necessary! I believe in short maintenance cleaning daily as opposed to cleaning everything all at once.

“Claire was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our 11month old golden retriever puppy at our home. She was attentive to her needs, took her on walks, gave us updates throughout the day, and made sure she was cared for in the best way possible. She was available to watch her last minute and even stayed later at our home when some unexpected things came up for my wife at work. We are very appreciative of the care Claire provides to our puppy! Highly recommend!”

About: My preferred name is Artemisia (my legal name is Paola), and I’ll be your pet’s sitter and caretaker! I believe animals deserve the absolute best care, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently care for an adorable cat and two puppies, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. I work from home, which means your pet will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I bring a calm, intuitive presence and really take the time to get to know each animal and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime and a little training, or would rather have a cozy day full of naps and cuddles, I tailor their care to what they enjoy most (usually a mix of both!). I live in a house with a large backyard, so there’s plenty of space to play and get outside. Whether you’re traveling, working, or simply need an extra hand, you can feel confident knowing your pet will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment with someone who genuinely cares about making their time away from you as comfortable and happy as possible. I work from home, so your pet will have company and care throughout most of the day alongside my own pets. If your dog enjoys walks or outings like the beach, I’d love to include them with mine. Otherwise, they’ll be relaxing at home in a calm, attentive environment and won’t be left alone for more than about an hour (if they’re comfortable with short periods of alone time). I make sure my pets get a healthy balance of play, structure, and rest. With my dogs, I focus on plenty of playtime and ongoing training, which helps them burn energy and settle into naps while I work. My cat prefers a calmer routine and spends most of her day relaxing in her own space, but I always make time for snuggles and connection so she feels loved and secure. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and energy levels. If a dog becomes tired or overstimulated, I’m happy to crate them for a peaceful reset if that’s part of their routine. There is plenty of room in our house and yard to create separate spaces for pets to have their own areas (for sleep, food, play, etc.) if that is what they prefer. ❤️

“We were so lucky to find Sara for our two-week trip. As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous, but Sara completely put our minds at ease from the very beginning. They were professional, warm, and clearly wonderful with our two dogs. The best part was their communication—we looked forward to their daily photos and updates! It was so reassuring to see our boys happy and well-cared-for. We came home to a tidy house and two very happy dogs. We fully trusted Sara in our home and with our pets, and we will absolutely be booking them for all our future trips. Highly recommend”

She provides frequent updates and takes fantastic care of our home and dogs while we are away, I will always look to Rain first when we need someone to watch the dogs and absolutely recommend her to others. 5 Stars!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“Brittany was super flexible with times and dates for my booking. My dogs absolutely loved her. She sent pics every day and kept me updated on how they were doing. Will definitely book again! :)”

“Alicia was so incredible, my baby loved her almost immediately and she was so thorough during our meet and greet. I can tell she really put her heart and time into my pets. With the consistent updates and pictures there was not a doubt in my mind that my pets were being loved like they were her own.”

“Peyten did a terrific job! Most importantly she took great care of my pup. She spent hours playing and walking her each day. She took great care of my home and gave constant updates. I would definitely hire her again!”

About: I grew up around horses and learned to respect all living creatures large and small. We always had pets at home and they gravitated towards me because I like to play and have fun with them. I had a cat for 16 years in my youth and loved her so much. Kitties will always have a special place in my heart. I have had many pets over the years and my most recent were two rescue shepherd/husky mix wonderful family members. They were brother and sister and both passed away. I do not currently have any pets of my own right now. Pet sitting is the joy of my life, and I cannot imagine a day without walking, playing and cuddling with furry friends. I am home all day and available to spend quality time with your fur babies! I am extremely flexible and am here for all of your pet’s needs. I like as much information about the pet as you'd like to give me. Whatever your pet needs, I will provide for them. I have lots of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs and cats. I welcome any information you can provide to help your pet feel comfortable. I will only feed your pet what you provide. I will follow all of your instructions verbatim.

“Colleen was fantastic with my Siberian Husky Macleod. She was on time, sent picture/video updates, and I would recommend her anytime for in-home dog sitting or walking.”

“Spencer is reliable and took great care of our three dogs. Our 15 year old dog needs extra care and diaper change and Spencer does not have a problem taking care of her. One of our other dog’s needs meds and he takes care of that with no issues. He also sent regular pictures of our dogs cuddling and playing with him. I appreciate him being so attentive as it provides a peace of mind when we are away. The dogs are part of our family and we appreciate him caring for them as such.”

“How fortunate we were to have Adriana watch or two bOliver, and twinkle. She was with them for a month while we were overseas and took excellent care of them. Oliver needed medication while we were gone, and when we returned, he was looking much better than when we had left. Twinkle is a feisty little girl, but Adriana had her eating out of her hand by the time we returned. In addition to looking after our two pups, Adriana looked after our home and garden and assisted greatly with mail, which was a great relief we have while we were gone for such a long time. Adriana is top-notch. We would love to have her again and if you should be so lucky, we know that you will love her too! She is just the best!”

“Valery is such an amazing person! Our dog takes a while to warm up to people, but him and Valery were best buddies in no time! I was nervous leaving our fur baby while we traveled internationally, but Valery ensured that our pup was well taken care of! We loved receiving daily pictures and videos of our dog and hearing from our neighbors about how loving and sweet Valery was with him! I highly recommend Valery for your pet sitting needs!!!”

About: I’ve owned dogs for 12 years and taken care of dogs from ages of puppy to senior, I currently have two shitzu’s, one is blind and needs extra care that I am able to handle with other blind dogs if needed. I have a completely open and free schedule, able to pet sit any day and any time as well as overnight or all day if needed. I live in an apartment building with my two cats and dogs, I take me dogs on walks every other day and take them out to the bathroom every 2 hours, one of my dogs is blind and needs extra care and patience when walking and one of my cats wears diapers as she has continence issues, I am able to and can take care of other animals with these issues as well. Two of my relatives are active and past veterinarians and can offer active help and advice if needed.

“I’ve never been away from my babies in four years. So my first vacation away from them was incredibly scary for me. But oh my days I’m incredibly thankful I stumbled across Valeriya. I know my boys can be overwhelming with how high energy they are but she reassured me they were so well behaved while I was gone. She sent me very frequent updates to ease my mind that they were in good hands. I left detailed instructions, and she followed every single one. I’m so excited to be able to travel and know my babies will be in good hands, I’m definitely going to be a frequent client. I can’t express my thanks enough!”

“Mallory was great with our dog. She came over to review everything and took great notes, then showed up on time and provided great care. She also made sure we knew our dog was receiving care and her medications as directed. Will certainly use Mallory again.”
