House Sitting in Marsh Creek Springs

“Carla was once again amazing! Took wonderful care of our pets and kept us updated throughout. I would recommend her for anyone looking for in home pet sitting.”

“This is our second time working with Diana and we can’t recommend her enough. Our old dogs can be pretty high maintenance, but she does a great job caring for them when we’re away. Thank you!”

Molly R.

“Tina was great. She made sure our dog was happy and well cared for. She took the initiative to bring Millie to the vet when she started limping to have her evaluated and rule out any serious injury. The house was left spotless. Thanks Tina”

“Erica did a great job with Dottie! And I came home to a house the way I left it! FABULOUS”

Cathi G.

“Mary Jane spent the night with Bodie while I was away for work meetings. She was great, and Bodie was well taken care of. I really appreciated that she checked on him in the afternoon, since I was a delayed returning.”

About: I love caring for dogs. Short or long walks, playing at the park or in their yard. When they are happy it makes me happy. Feeding time or treats always on owners timeline! I am currently not working so available to be with your pet all day! Feedings, walks, whatever is needed they will feel safe and happy. I like to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I will be able to keep them on their daily schedules where they feel safe.

About: Hi! My name is Zoey, and I am a 21-year-old looking for opportunities to make sure your dog gets what they need while you are away! I've taken care of dogs for many years, but have taken more official paid positions in the last 4. Recently, I have worked to board dogs for families around my college town for periods of up to 6 hours to allow these families to go out for dinners, to the movies, and more without the need to worry about their dogs at home. I have walked dogs for local families regularly, helped take care of special needs dogs on check-ins (such as those with neurogenic bladder), and have dropped by houses to feed, play, and give love and affection to their dogs. When I was 12 years old, my sister and I took it upon ourselves to train our neighbor's golden retriever, Sandy Cheeks, to heel so that we could take her on walks and she would be easier to handle. We successfully managed to teach her, not just how to heel, but also how to come when called, shake, and roll over (quite a feat since many goldens don't love to learn how to roll over). Since then, I have loved learning how to handle dogs of all types, working with slightly reactive dogs, to energetic dogs that don't know their own strength. I am a dog enthusiast! All my life, I have loved dogs so much, but my parents were allergic and refused to get a pet. Finally, in my senior year of high school, my parents got a medium-sized golden doodle and surprised my sister and me. I cried. I can not express the level of joy I experience around dogs. Many of my friends could attest to the connection I have with dogs when I meet them. They are shocked by how much their dogs love me right away. What they don’t know is that I have carefully researched ways to approach dogs and read their body language to determine how they would like to be interacted with. I am a researcher at heart. I am an undergrad in college who has worked on multiple graduate-level research projects in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, biology, and sports studies. When I fell in love with animals, I made it a mission to know how to handle them and treat them with the care they deserve. Where to pet the dog, how to walk up to a dog, what sort of eye contact to make with the dog; these are all examples of how I have learned to pay attention to dogs and respect their boundaries in order to create deep bonds. I am my dog's safe place; she will come and sit between my legs when overwhelmed because she trusts me to protect her and not to treat her the way she needs to be treated at that moment. I would bring this level of care, passion, and enthusiasm to every workday and hope to strengthen the care and play experience of all dogs. I have worked with dogs of many breeds and many ages with many different needs. I have experience with nervous dogs, hyperactive dogs, reactive dogs, super intelligent dogs, stubborn dogs, and hypoallergenic dogs. I am an athlete, and my athletic and strength training have allowed me to handle strong dogs on lead, heavy dogs, and aggressive dogs that pull or suddenly jerk. My athleticism is particularly handy with highly energetic breeds. My own dog's favorite hobby is getting chased around by me or chasing after me. I have also been known to take dogs on runs with me or hikes. If your dog has a particular routine that involves going for a morning run, I would be the perfect candidate to keep that habit up while you're away! I have held many part-time jobs, and I am consistent and reliable. I am a great candidate to take care of your dog in any way. Consider me for all your pet care needs! I am an early riser! If you'd like a walk for your pet, morning, noon, and afternoon walks are the best! I like to schedule my pet care throughout my day, such as in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon. It depends on what pet care you need from me, but for a home drop-in, I prefer to have time to take your pup out, feed them if necessary, get them used to my presence, calmed down, and give them a little treat before I take off. I am free for a large majority of the time. I work several part-time jobs at the moment, so scheduling around shorter shifts is no problem for me. I am extremely responsible with other people's properties. I am a detail-oriented person and not one to make mistakes or leave a mess when in another person's space. I follow the philosophy: leave every place better than you entered. In this case, I would leave your home better by giving your dogs care. When your pet is with me, their safety and emotional state are my number one priority. If I need to transport your pet anywhere, I am an excellent driver and have never once been ticketed or gotten into an accident. For walks, I have experience with animal safety and protection from other pets and wild animals. With small dogs, you never have to worry about a potential coyote attack or a larger breed biting the dog. I take dog safety very seriously and prepare for every walk with proper equipment, extra food for the dog, extra poop bags, and water. I will always switch to walking a dog or multiple dogs on the inside of me when passing other animals. I am also experienced using treats to maintain a dog's attention. I will never force your dog into any situation that their body language tells me they are not okay with. I am detail-oriented and good at shutting down potentially dangerous situations before they occur.

“Sydney was very sweet with my pets and sent me pictures to let me know my cat was thriving while I was away. She was communicative and responsible, following all my instructions. I will definitely use her again!”

“Another amazing housesitting stay for our 3 pups! We reached out last minute when our first human baby decided to make her grand entrance to the world earlier than expected and are just so grateful our pups got to be cared for by Antonio again. He truly takes care of our pups as if they are his own and his willingness AND ability to accommodate whatever might come up for them means so much to my family! Thank you, Antonio!”

Janae S.

“I can’t say enough good things about Tania. The dogs loved her, we loved her! She kept us up to date on our kids with texts and lots of pictures. She is very warm and friendly and we will have her back any time we travel. Thank you so much.”

Linda W.

“Melissa was a great help and our pup was very happy!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, fish, and other beloved pets — learning that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and lovingly care for their pets while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, active, and genuinely loved in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like family. As a gentle added touch, I’m also experienced in animal reiki, which I’m happy to incorporate during visits if welcomed by both pet and owner to help encourage relaxation and comfort. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are with love, warmth and care. I currently work part-time. I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available most days and weekends, including most holidays. I have a fenced dog-friendly where your dog can roam and play. I have a beautiful lawn and a beautiful tree lined neighborhood for long walks.

About: I have two golden retrievers at home who are energetic, playful, and always hungry. We love exploring new places and making more friends along the way. Pet care fits perfectly into my day to day schedule because after school and weekends I am always open to walks, washes, and any other care any pet needs. In my home I care for my pets by walking them, brushing them, making sure their water is full and clean, and most importantly making sure they are entertained whether that be with toys or socializing them with other friends. In clients home I will carefully care for their pet(s) the way they explained to be prior walking into their home.

About: I worked at East Hills Veterinary Hospital for 1.5 years from 2023-2025. I have dog walked and pet sat (both cats and dogs) for neighbors, family, and friends for the past 3 years. My mom is a veterinarian and has taught me how to medicate cats and trim nails on mild tempered cats. I have 4 cats and 3 small dogs at home who I regularly take care of. I’m currently a college student home for the summer and living locally. I have a car and am able to create a specialized schedule based on what my clients need from me. I am flexible with timing and will only be gone for 2 weeks this summer, one at the end of July and one at the start of August. I have three small dogs and four cats at home. I’m used to feeding my pets, changing litter boxes, medicating my pets if need be, and trimming nails for cats - but only if they have a mild temper. I walk my dogs a couple times a week and play fetch with my yorkie Neville. I have a fenced in backyard and like to hang outside with them and read books and let them run around.

“Ava is a reliable dog sitter. My dog was well cared for in my home while I was away. She is quick to respond to texts. Everything went smoothly. I would recommend Ava and use her again.”

About: Hi there, my name is Veronica and I have had 10 years experience caring for dogs. I love to go for walks with my puppy Louie and am looking to help those with their dog care needs. Dogs are simply the best and can't wait to meet your family member. I know it's hard to leave your loved one with just anyone and with my experience and love for dogs I know I can make that transition super easy and your dog will be well looked after. Please note, I do have a frenchie who is friendly with everyone but I will require a meet and greet to get to know your dogs behavior. Louie and I want to make sure that your dog has the best time possible.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and have been trusted with ongoing pet sitting responsibilities. I treat every pet with the same care, routine, and attention they receive from their owners. I also help reinforce training, keeping consistency with commands and good habits while you’re away. I work part-time and remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular walks, and be present throughout the day to ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I provide care in my client’s home to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I became a pet sitter back in 2019 when I started to take care of my neighbor's cat, and some of my close friends hired me to stay at their house and do a little house sitter while taking care of their pets. Then, in 2020, I had to put my business on hold because of the COVID-19 Pandemic! But once the vaccines came out and the hospitals were providing appointments to go get vaccinated, I noticed business started picking up again in late 2021, around mid-July. Since then, I created my pet-sitting prices on how much I should charge my clients based on which service I would be completing at their house and how many pets my clients owned. I bring my own unique, creative, loving, kind, and personable approach when meeting with my clients and telling them about how long I have owned my pets for the last 18 years. If this sounds like something you would be interested in or would want to schedule a meet and greet please let me know and I would be happy to organize a meeting with you and your furry friend!! Thank you for your time and consideration! Jessica Kelling I am currently a College Student at Diablo Valley College, and I work as a Pet Sitter and Dog Walker when I am not attending in person lectures or studying for my classes. I usually work with my clients weekly or every month based on how often they prefer me to walk their dogs or take care of their pet(s) while they are out of town for work or on vacation. During the summer, if I am not registered to take any classes during the summer break, being a pet sitter and dog walker becomes my full-time job! I am available for Dog Walking most of the week except for Sundays. The first thing I usually do when talking to a new potential client is to learn a little bit about their pet(s) and where they live. I.E., An Apartment, House, or Condominium? I only stay at the client's house because I have two large dogs, a Rottweiler, and a German Shepherd, and I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to my client's animals while they are away and enjoying their vacation! So, for safety purposes, I only offer to stay at the client's house or do daily check-ins! Thank you, Jessica Kelling

About: I helped my parents take care of there friends dogs since I was 8 and they've taught me a lot. Also my mom worked at Petco and worked in animal care and she told me and taught me what she's learned from her experience at work with cats and other animals. I've been currently looking for a job and havent had any luck so I have a lot of free time on my hands weekdays and weekends!! When we went to go sit my parents friends dogs we would feed them every morning and evening and then let them run around in the backyard they had a doggie door in their bedroom so for the most part the dogs had access to the bathroom to go potty and come and go as they please. But when we hung out in the living room with them since there was no access to a doggy door we would let them out around 3-4 times per day we would also walk them in the morning and sunset and feed them either before or after there walk depending on their actions and vibes

“Myra was the BEST! Our Akita, Koa, isn’t always the easiest or friendliest fella but he took to Myra very quickly! Myra understood his little quirks and asked appropriate questions during the meet and greet. Koa is a big guy - so having someone who feels confident in walking a big dog was huge for us. Myra was just that!!! Totally reliable. Koa got his walks, spent plenty of time outside and seemed to have a great time with Myra. Myra also sent pictures and updates often which was so great for me and helped me relax much more on vacation. When we returned home we had a clean house and a happy dog - what more could you ask for! I highly recommend Myra and am so happy to have found her and will rebook in the future. Thank you Myra for being so kind, patient and understanding with Koa and allowing us to relax as well!!”
