House Sitting in Martinez

“If you’re like us and you’re hesitant with leaving your puppy puppy with someone new…look no further! Tia is no doubt the best person for the job. She did housesitting for us for 4 nights and 5 days. She did everything in the to-do list even though there was a lot, and most importantly she sent us so many updates and cute photos of our dog. This is the first time we’ve left our dog with someone who’s not related to us so we were stressed out, but as soon as we realized that Tia gives regular updates with photos, we started enjoying our vacation. We even joked that we should organize our vacations around Tia’s schedule from now on. You can tell she has a lot of experience in taking care of dogs and genuinely cares about their wellbeing. We noticed how much our dog loves her and how happy and relaxed he was with Tia, which is not common while we’re away (he’s usually so anxious)! Anyway, Tia is an 11/10 dogsitter and would def recommend to anyone who’s looking for someone to take care of their dog!”

“Jose did an awesome job, taking care of both our dog and our home. From now on we no longer need to think twice before going on a trip. Isn't that amazing?! Thank you, Jose 😁”

“Lisa is awesome! We came home to very happy, well cared for pups. Very friendly communication, helped ease my nervousness about leaving our special needs senior for the first time. Would definitely recommend her and book her again.”

“Carrin was able to house sit for us fairly last minute, most appreciated! She did a great job with our high energy Weimaraner as well as our shy rescue dog who takes some time to warm up to people. She quickly won her over with treats and kindness and they were besties by the time we got home! She was also unfazed by our pet python, which was an added bonus! The house was neat when we got home and she somehow managed to keep muddy pawprints at bay, despite it being a wet weekend! Very communicative and sent lots of photos :)”

“We are so grateful for Tania! She came through for us (on a holiday none the less) and took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She was thoughtful and communicative and immediately put us at ease. Our dog loved her and even upon her departure he ran out to see if she was still here. We are so appreciative and look forward to booking with her again.”

“Danielle is AMAZING!!!! We had a last minute situation and we needed someone to watch our 2 huskies for a day. She responded instantly, made things super easy, arrived on time, communicated during the day with us. We got multiple pictures and videos, and we knew there was nothing to worry about. She gave us the piece of mind we were looking for. Will DEFINITELY, 100% book again! Thank you!!!!!”

“Felix watched our dog and cat while we were out of town for a few days. He took great care of them both and our house as well. He even fed the feral cat in our yard which was not required. We will definitely use him again highly recommend him! Our pup is not the easiest and he did great with her. The pictures were much appreciated!”

“Elise was wonderful, very communicative and considerate. She left my place in a great state and the pets seem to have had a great time while I was away. Would greatly recommend!”

“I've known Lily for many years and she is one of the most caring & compassionate individuals I've met, especially towards animals. She helped care for my dogs several times and there wouldn't be anyone else I'd trust more than Lily to care for my pets. Your pet will be in the best of hands when she is in charge of their care.”

“Halona was fantastic. Our 3 fur babies loved her company. We also have chickens and she tended to them too. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you again Halona.”

“Joseph took great care of our dog while we were away!”

“I met with Jeremy twice. Once for a meet and greet and once for a Dog Walk. I felt very good about Jeremy and he handled my 80 lb. Dog well. I will use his services again.”

“Tiffany was very responsive, consistent and made sure our pets were safe/well.”

“We're beyond grateful for Chris's professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Toby had a surgery 3 weeks before our trip and Christ took extra care making sure Toby is recovering well. We received regular updates and photos and Toby was relaxed and happy! We wholeheartedly recommend Chris and his wife Alexis! :)”

“Isaiah is wonderful to have!! Was very communicative while we gone. Gave great updates and sent pictures! Our Willow loved him! He took her for walks. He also put all the bedding, towels and rugs he used in the washing machine. Incredible! House was immaculate when we got home. Will definitely use him again!!”

“Rachel watched my pups for two weeks and did a fantastic job giving them the love and care, as well as address the challenges my one presented. She communicated with me daily to let me know how everything was going. In the early days my boy pup decided to challenge her, she advised me, and presented her plan to address his behavior. She was spot on and within days he came around. I came home to very happy and well cared for pups. I highly recommend Rachel.”

“Thanks Donna for taking such good care of Winnie while we were on vacation! Winnie was very happy and relaxed when we came home. It was clear she got lots of exercise and was well taken care of. Donna even took her to get a bath before dropping her off!”

About: I grew up with a fear of dogs that only ebbed when I was 13, after my family started fostering an older Australian cattle dog mix. She was smart, sweet, and scarily strong. Taking care of her taught me how to stay calm, deescalate her excitement when necessary, and also match her energy and enthusiasm. My fear is gone and now I love to make friends with new dogs! I work part-time, so I've got lots of free time to spend with your pets! I'm generally available Monday, Tuesday, and Friday evenings, and all day on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. I love spending time with animals and am so happy to dole out as much affection as they want! However, I'm also pretty good at reading their body language and realizing when they need space to do their own thing. Every animal has different needs and I pride myself on respecting that!

“We went on a 10 day trip and I was a bit nervous about leaving our girls with a new sitter. By the second day, my mind was at ease. Natalie took amazing care of our pups. She sent pics of the girls snuggling with her and playing ball. I appreciated the daily updates. Natalie also took care of our home. In fact, I think it was tidier when we got home than when we left. When it came time to come home, our plane was delayed and Natalie made a special trip over to feed the girls dinner. We are so happy to have found a sitter we can trust.”

“Gerald has a knack with dogs that I can only say comes naturally. When I first introduced Gerald to my shy, nervous pit bull, he took the extra time to sit with her, make her comfortable, and gain her early trust. Now she goes crazy with happiness when he visits! Gerald is equally as intuitive with my special-needs Chihuahua. (This is a dog who does not like anybody. But Gerald found her favorite scratching spot on her belly and now instead of attacking, she rolls on her back and lets him scratch her tummy. Gerald is famous for getting reluctant dogs to do their first high-fives, "handshakes," and sits as well. I would highly recommend Gerald for any of your pet-care needs!”
