House Sitting Martins

About: Hi! I’m KeLeigh, and I’m passionate about providing loving, dependable care for both people and pets. After years of working in caregiving and pet care, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many wonderful animals and building lasting relationships with their families. My two dogs, Abby (a 5-year-old Brittany Spaniel-Lab mix) and Burrow (a 12-year-old Border Collie-Lab mix), are friendly, playful, and love making new friends. Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, walks, or simply relaxing together, they help create a welcoming environment for visiting pets. I am dedicated to providing every pet in my care with a safe, loving, and enriching experience—treating them as if they were part of my own family. In addition to pet care, I have been providing professional caregiving services since 2021. Through my work caring for others, I have developed strong skills in patience, attentiveness, reliability, communication, and individualized care. I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, companionship, and supervision they deserve. For in-home visits, I help pets remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings while maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or extended care, I provide regular updates and communication so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. This service is especially beneficial for pets who experience anxiety in new environments or simply do best staying in the comfort of their own home. As a self-employed professional working from home, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. This allows me to dedicate the time and attention necessary to ensure that each pet receives personalized care and supervision throughout the day. My schedule enables me to cater to the specific needs of your pet, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or providing comfort while you’re away. Being at home allows me to maintain a consistent presence, ensuring your pet feels secure and well-cared for in a safe, nurturing environment. Caring for Pets in Your Home: For in-home visits, we ensure your pet remains comfortable in their familiar surroundings while receiving the same level of care. We follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care requirements. Whether it’s a brief drop-in or an extended stay, we provide consistent updates and communication so you can feel assured your pet is well cared for. This service is ideal for pets who may experience anxiety in new environments or for those who do better in their own home.

About: Sometimes I think I should be paying your pets for hanging out with me! I've had pets since I was 4 years old and always rescuing them off the streets to find their owners or good homes. Now as an adult with my own home, I continue to care for animals in every way I can. My husband and I have 2 dogs and 2 cats all rescued from various circumstances. For the past 3 years, we've fostered 11 dogs. All had their own traumas, medical problems and quirks to them so I like to think I can handle a variety of personalities and care instructions. I'm experienced in administering medication, insulin shots, medical baths and plenty of butt wiping LOL. We're a no kid household with no plans to have them, so all our "pets" are very much our four legged children. I'm a helicopter mom at its finest with my local vet and emergency vets on speed dial so rest assured your baby will be safe and loved while under my care. I love to provide photos of my little furry clients to send to their parents while their away so if you're anything like me and can't get your babies out of your mind, you'll be spammed with updates :) Feel free to reach out and ask me any concerns you may have :)

“I hope Stacy and her family are always available when we need help with our pets, because they put our minds at ease and took care of our fur babies with the greatest of care! We have had many people help us over the years with our pets and she outshined them all! Our pets loved her and I could feel how much she cared for them. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, and horses of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, family members, and clients have trusted me to care for their pets, provide companionship, maintain routines, and ensure their safety and well-being. I am patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and regular updates with photos. My goal is to give every pet the same care and attention I would give my own family. I recently moved to California and am currently building a new chapter in my life. This transition gives me the flexibility to dedicate more time to caring for pets, something that truly brings me joy. I love spending time with animals, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I understand the importance of trust when caring for both pets and someone’s home. I am responsible, respectful, attentive to details, and committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving experience for every pet while giving their owners peace of mind.

About: I love animals! I’ve had animals most of my life and have had about 6 dogs in my life. I’ve always been responsible and trusted to feed, walk, bathe and love them to ensure they get the best life possible. I’ve had my dog Hazy for six years and we have travels the world together! I currently teaching/tutoring english and wanted to do Rover to make some extra money plus who doesn’t love working with animals. I am punctual, highly dependable and will give you the best pet care possible. My weekdays and weekends are free and flexible. While I’m watching your pet, I’ll ensure to send photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, health and having fun! I am communicative and will be honest should any unforeseen issues arise, you can count on my to provide you with updates. I am trustworthy, clean, respectful and organized. When at someone else’s home, I ensure to follow directions for clients home and pet care. I live close to a park that lots of other dogs go to. As well as a 2 year old cattle dog who loves everyone and is always happy to have another friend around.

“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”

About: I am not shy to large dogs or animals in general. I do not judge dogs based on size. All dogs deserve love no matter their looks, age, or size. I’ve had bully breeds all my life and have grown accustomed to being around them. Cats I just adore too, whether they’re cuddly, or shy, I’ll be sure to treat them with respect. One thing I can say for myself is that I hope you’re okay with me giving your pets treats! Please let me know what treats your pets enjoy and I will provide them. :) My schedule is flexible and very open at the moment, all I ask is that you request the day before. If it’s last minute request however I’m open to listening to you if you really need a last minute sitter as I know things happen. What I have always been taught is to leave a space cleaner than you found it. This also may include your pet if you would like them bathed I do not mind at all. If I was to stay overnight as well do not think for one second there would be a crumb left from myself. I do not believe in leaving trash or dishes in a sink, or making myself “too at home.” I have a lot of experience in housekeeping, as my friends and families typically ask me to watch their homes for them.

About: I've been a petsitter for 5 years, helping family and friends' fur babies while they were out of town. I am experienced with dogs and cats, small and large. I am very energetic and bubbly, but can match any animals personality to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. As someone who has grown up surrounded by animals, I love making new fur friends! I have had pets throughout my whole life. I have three pets of my own that I take care of daily. Two dogs and one cat. I take care of my friends and family's pets when they need help as well. I have two dogs and one cat that I feed, walk, bathe, and play with daily. Regarding clients it depends on their needs, wants and the comfort of their pets.

About: Senior dogs and dogs with special needs have a special place in my heart. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine and quirks, moving at their pace and learning what makes them feel safe and comfortable. 〰️ I’ve shared my life with dogs since I was little, growing up with German Shepherds and learning early that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and way of experiencing the world. Every dog has their own way of communicating, and I love taking the time to learn their language; they are conscious, beautiful souls. I also have bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biology, where I was able to study animal behavior and communication. 〰️ I’m based in the San Fernando Valley, and my flexible schedule allows me to serve families throughout the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, and Antelope Valley. My Rover profile may be new, but my experience with dogs isn't; I'd be grateful for the opportunity to meet your best friend. My goal is to learn what makes your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved, so you can leave knowing they’re with someone who truly enjoys caring for them. When I'm not with the doggies, I'm in the classroom as a substitute teacher in either the AV or SFV. I get to choose when and where I work, allowing me flexibility in my schedule for dog care. I like to spend as much outside time as possible with the dogs (weather permitting) and do mentally stimulating activities (especially with my senior babies). Activities like "where's the toy", "which hand is the treat in", etc. Little things to keep them mentally engaged. I love being outside, and I love long walks, so me and the doggies tend to make a good team.

“Madelyn is now our 4-mo-old puppy's favorite person! She gave up her Thanksgiving to stay with Ziggy at our house, but it wasn't just a "stay." Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!”

About: Hi! I’m Walter, a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs of all sizes, including toy poodles and schnauzers. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable, happy, and safe. Friends and family describe me as calm, dependable, and attentive. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I have experience teaching dogs basic commands and enjoy reinforcing positive behaviors through patience and consistency. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and following detailed feeding, medication, and exercise routines. My goal is simple: to treat every pet as if they were my own, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, responsible hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and always prioritize safe walks and supervised play. As a board-certified physician, attention to detail, responsibility, and clear communication are qualities I bring to every visit.

About: I’ve spent nearly my whole life around animals, and I genuinely can’t imagine it any other way. Almost 30 years working with horses — training, rehabbing, and caring for them — taught me patience, how to read an animal’s body language, and how to stay calm when they’re not. That instinct carries straight over to dogs, cats, and just about anyone with fur. When your pet is with me, they’re not an obligation on a checklist. They’re company. I’ll keep their routine steady, give them the attention and exercise they need, and send you updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing. Whether it’s an anxious rescue who needs a gentle hand or a high-energy goofball who needs a real walk, I’ve got them. Acton/Santa Clarita area. Reach out and tell me about your crew — I’d love to meet them. I work from home, so pets aren’t squeezed into the margins of my day — they’re part of it. My schedule is flexible, which means I can match your pet’s routine instead of forcing them into mine: morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, all of it stays consistent with what they’re used to. Between my own animals and my work with horses, caring for animals is already woven into every day. Adding your pet to that rhythm isn’t a stretch — it’s just one more member of the crew. I’m around throughout the day to keep an eye on things, so your pet gets steady attention rather than a quick drop-in and gone. In your home, my first priority is keeping your pet’s world exactly as they know it — same feeding spots, same walk routes, same routine. I don’t rearrange things or cut corners. I make sure doors, gates, and yards are secure before anything else, because a lot of trouble starts with a gate that didn’t latch. I keep your keys and access details private and treat your home with the same respect I’d want for mine. With animals themselves, decades of reading horses taught me to watch body language closely — I can tell when a pet is anxious, overstimulated, or not feeling right, and I adjust instead of pushing. New environments and unfamiliar dogs get introduced slowly and on the pet’s terms. I keep an eye on hazards most people miss: food left out, toxic plants, an open trash can, a fence gap. You’ll hear from me with updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and settled. If something seems off health-wise, I’ll reach out right away rather than wait — and I’ll always have your vet’s info on hand just in case.

About: I'm currently working from home part time and working in a restaurant part time, so I’m able to give your pup plenty of attention and take them out as often as needed when at home. I sometimes will need to be gone for around 6-7 hours a few days out of the week for my other job so I ask that your pup is okay on their own occasionally. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like a member of the family, with lots of love, care, and playtime. I live in a one-bedroom apartment that’s cozy and safe for dogs. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m more than happy to set up their crate in the living room to ensure they feel comfortable and secure during their stay. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I'm committed to providing the same level of care and attention I would give to my own pets. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pup feels right at home. I am working from home during the day so I have plenty of time to take your pup out whenever needed! Let me know their schedule. We will go out on walks, we can go to the park if you’re okay with it, I will feed them according to their normal schedule, and of course plenty of cuddles.

About: I have had a Maltipoo for 12 years since he was 7 weeks old, a 6 year old male Labrador Retriver, and I rescued a one year old male Chihuahua in Vietnam. This makes me a credible caretaker of senior dogs, various dog breeds of many sizes, and a specialized knowledge in veterinarian care. I have also been actively taking care of dogs for over 15 years and have a passion and affinity for every breed with no discrimination, ensuring top quality care in any circumstance. I have a remote marketing job, but I love dogs a lot, so I love working with dogs to make life feel more fulfilling. My schedule is flexible and I work for myself, so fitting pet care into my daily routine is not an issue. I have a fenced yard with a spacious neighborhood, which is perfect to play in safely with enough room for enthralling walks! My dogs absolutely loves these walks because my neighborhood is scenic and safe. My dogs are also very spoiled because I believe every animal should be taken care of with the best quality and care. I groom my them, play with them (toys and exercise), sometimes read him a story, watch TV with them or leave the TV on for them when I’m away, and also give the best cuddles. My biggest dog Apollo has a specific diet that involves giving him exactly 6 blueberries before walks, so I’m very attentive and precise. I am also an amazing belly rubber, and my friends and family can attest to this with their own dogs!

About: I have years of experience taking care of, and befriending dogs and other pets. I have had my golden retriever Wesley for 10 years now and we are best friends. I have experience taking care of medium to large size breeds like goldens and labs, and smaller dogs as well. My goal is to be as caring and friendly to your pet as possible, and meet any needs they may have. I am very reliable on walks and will be very attentive to your pet. Feel free to message me for anything you may need, I am very flexible with my schedule and rates! It varies, but for the most part I will be able to do drop ins and walks any time you let me know. For overnight visits and any inquires at all, feel free to message me as I try my best to be flexible and will always find time for your dog. I can do anything you ask of me to help. I am very open and understanding for your pets needs and would love to do everything I can for them.

About: Hello! My name is Annalise, I have personally had 10 years of experience with my own three dogs at home. I have also had multiple other dogs that were brought to me to take care of them. I currently work as a speech therapist at a school in Santa Clarita but am still available throughout the day to tend to your pet c: I currently work as a speech therapist at a school, but around that, I do have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Whether it be boarding, walking, or taking care of in general! I tend to give them as much love as I can whenever I’m in someone else’s home. My undivided attention is towards them during this time.

About: I’m currently living in the Santa Clarita area and having grown up in the Midwest, surrounded by animals, particularly dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens, I am very experienced in animal husbandry. I learned a lot during my time as an exhibitor at my local county fair where I actually showed all four of the species mentioned, and reached the highest achievement of Reserve Grand Champion Small Animal Showman. I have a lot of experience in caring for a large amount of animals as I had my own rabbitry and two show quality Bernese Mountain Dogs. When it comes to caring for other’s animals, I have done both long term and short term, from managing chinchillas for 6 months, to taking care of a cattery for a weekend to caring for a homestead to daily dog walk your precious pets will be well cared for and loved while you are away. Another thing I bring is veterinary experience. I previously worked in an emergency veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable assessing situations, staying calm when something unexpected happens, and recognizing when an animal may need additional care. Outside of animals, I live to swim, hike, read classics, and go to the Getty. I’m entering my senior year of my pre-med degree and hope to become a physician! As a collage student, my schedule is very flexible and I am able to care for your pets at any time of the day! Occasionally I am out of town for swim meets, but I will have those weekends marked as unavailable I care for every pet as an individual and do my best to maintain the routine they are already comfortable with. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and household rules. I also prioritize keeping the home secure and leaving it just as I found it.

“Daniel is Really nice and sweet,He took a good care of my dogs, a lot of recommendations for him!!!”
