House Sitting Mountain View

“Lydia did an amazing job. Her experience training dogs came in very handy while she was staying with our pup - she worked with her on some behavior issues and also taught her some new tricks. Penny was very happy.”

“CJ was referred to me by my neighbor, who has trusted him for pet sitting for many years and now I understand why. He was punctual, responsible, and provided daily updates. My pets were clearly well cared for, and it was a great relief knowing both my home and animals were in good hands while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CJ or use his services again.”

“Ivan went above and beyond what I asked of him when taking care of my senior dog. Foz was very happy and I could tell he didn't even miss me.”

“I knew she would be great when she came to our house for a "meet and greet", brought a cat toy and immediately started playing with our two babies. I was not wrong - they were wlel cared for, well fed and most importantly, well loved.”

“This is our third time booking Ghazal, the second time for an extended period of time and we could not be happier. Ghazal genuinely adores our cat and caring for her and we get regular updates. We feel completely comfortable with her staying in our house. Will 100% book her again and again.”

“She is kind and gentle with the animals. She’s smart and independent meaning she can find her way and do the right thing without step by step instruction. She’s GREAT! She has common sense and empathy. She was readily available on short notice (hour) and made it so we wouldn’t miss our child’s concert. Any pet that has her as a pet sitter is VERY lucky! She’s the best! Thank you, Radia!”

About: Lifetime dog owner and animal lover, I’ve always loved getting to connect with new personalities. I’ve had experience caring for a pups at every stage of their lives. Most of my experience has come with senior dogs, and along with making sure they have frequent potty breaks during the night I’ve also had to administer medical care, with insulin shots or oral medication. My approach with dog care lies in patience, through this I’ve also been able to train many friends. I go at the pace of your dog, and am ready for energetic brisk walks, playtime, running, or I can also go slow and smell the roses or bushes. I try to be as flexible as possible to best address your pets’ needs. I am available Fridays and weekends. I am also free during the weekdays at certain windows of times, but if you don’t find something that works for you, please reach out and I can try to fit you in best as possible. I am balancing classes during the weekdays, so my available times vary a bit differently. I believe pets do best in their own environment, and I will do my best to follow your pets routine as closely as possible in order to minimize any stress. I always respect your home and am a reliable caretaker for your pet. Whatever special care is needed for your pet or space, I’m always prepared.

“Kimberly stayed in my home and took wonderful loving care of my dog, Comet, while I was on vacation for 13 days. Kimberly sent videos of Comet and responded quickly to my text messages. She left my home in perfect condition, and even cleaned the house before leaving! I would highly recommend her if you need someone to take care of your pet.”

“Katie went above and beyond after our first house sitting experience with her this past week! She provided daily updates with plenty of photos of our dog, Ritz, while we were away which was so amazing and much appreciated as we didn’t need to worry about how their days were going together! Our dog is reactive and hesitant to strangers so leaving him this trip was a big step for us, but as his first day with Katie went by, he really warmed up to her and became comfortable which gave us a big relief as well! Katie and her boyfriend Preston are patient, caring and understanding! And also lovely photographers :) we got so many action shots of Ritz and that really helped us feel comfortable knowing he was being taken care of in great hands! They also left our house spotless once we returned :) We love Katie and Preston and Ritz will be excited for future visits with them!”

“Amara was the very best sitter we have ever had - she is so very kind, polite, caring, genuine and my dog and I absolutely loved her! My dog is sweet but I have never seen her take to another like she did with Amara. I am so grateful for her help!”

About: Hi! I’m Ally, an animal lover with professional animal care experience ranging from pet boarding facilities to the Oakland Zoo. My approach is calm, attentive, patient, and individualized to each animal. Animals have always been a central part of my life. I became vegetarian as a child because of my love for animals, and that value continues to guide both my personal and professional life today. Professionally, I previously worked at a pet boarding facility where I handled client communication, maintained veterinary and care records, administered medications, monitored feeding and intake, and provided daily hands-on animal care. I also worked as a Zookeeper Aide at the Oakland Zoo, where I helped prepare specialized diets and support daily animal care operations in a fast-paced environment. I’m currently completing a Master’s degree in Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University, so I’m especially detail-oriented, responsible, communicative, and reliable. What You Can Expect From Me: -Reliability, reliability, reliability! ☺️ -Regular communication, updates, and photos -Calm, patient handling style -Attention to detailed feeding and care instructions -Lots of affection, play, and individualized attention Previous Experience: -Zookeeper Aide at Oakland Zoo -Behavioral Health worker at a California primate center -Animal care work at research centers -Wildlife rehabilitation and sanctuary volunteer experience -Pet sitting experience with a wide range of pet breeds and personalities -Pet First Aid and CPR certified I'm currently working remotely on my capstone project to finish my Master's degree, which means my schedule is quite flexible to care for your fur babies! I do have my own cat so I need to take his own care into account when considering bookings. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment for every pet in their own home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, and household rules while paying close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall wellbeing. I understand that every animal has a different comfort level and personality, so I approach each pet with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their space and routine.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and truly treat every pet as an individual. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my focus on one pet family at a time, so your pet gets my full attention in a low-stress environment 🐾❤️ I’m very mindful of routines, body language, and emotional comfort, especially for pets who are shy, sensitive, or adjusting to a new place. I enjoy long sniffing walks, gentle play, enrichment activities (like lick mats), and plenty of cuddle time — always tailored to your pet’s personality. I’m comfortable caring for adult dogs and seniors, following detailed instructions, administering basic medications as directed, and providing consistent updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication are extremely important to me. On most days I’m home and present, and on occasion I may go into the office for a few hours (typically up to 4–6 hours, a couple of times per week). Because of this, I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being alone for short periods. I always plan ahead to ensure your pet is safe, settled, and well cared for before I step out. My goal is to make every stay feel calm, secure, and loving — like a true home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I plan my schedule around. I structure my day to ensure pets receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day 🐾❤️ I’m able to provide a calm, predictable routine with flexible timing, which works especially well for pets who need consistency or extra reassurance. I make sure each pet’s feeding, walking, and rest schedule is followed closely, and I adjust my day as needed to match their normal routine. Whether it’s daily care, short stays, or longer boarding, I prioritize being present, attentive, and responsive so your pet always feels safe and cared for. I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment with a private patio and Rengstorff Park just steps away for safe daily walks and playtime. There are no other pets or children in my home, so your furry friend will have a quiet and relaxing stay with our full attention. I keep doors and patio areas secure at all times, and pets are always on a leash outdoors. I follow each pet’s specific routine for feeding, walks, and bedtime, and can crate your dog if preferred for comfort or safety. Our goal is to make every pet feel at home and cared for as if they were our own. 🐾

“It's always challenging for us to find a sitter that we feel comfortable with taking care of our older and somewhat high-needs pups. But Sara was a fantastic communicator and kept us updated and sent pictures so we could enjoy our vacation. Sara, who is a vet tech, was even able to get out oldest guy to take his many pills twice daily. We will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to others!”

Jan V.

“Electra was the perfect sitter for my long trip away for the holidays! She was very communicative and sent many photos, and even offered to do some household tasks if needed. I would definitely book her again in the future, and I highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a responsible pet sitter in the area.”

Madelyne R.

“I chose Mia because of her smile and friendly personality, and I am not disappointed. Our pets were excited to see us when we got home, but also excited to see Mia the following morning! Our home and pets were well-cared for. Would like to get her help for future trips.”

Melissa W.

“Iryna was wonderful! She was great either way my dogs, especially my very old and frail girl. She didn’t hesitate at all when we realized the old girl was needing doggie diapers indoors, after we had made the booking. She took wonderful care of them, and was very good about communicating any questions or concerns she had. Would definitely hire her again!”

“Esther watched our 9 year old dog in our home for 10 days. From our first messages it was clear she was kind and responsible. She engaged well with our dog and took great care of her. We got daily updates about how things were going and notes about anything we might want to monitor. She also took respectful care of our home and even initiated to ask how she could be helpful before our late arrival back home. We came back to happy, healthy pup. We were grateful to thoroughly enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was so well cared for. We will be recommending Esther to our family and friends.”

“Liz was amazing watching our 90+ lb German Shepherd. Kept us informed during our long weekend and will hopefully have her watch him in the future when we are away.”

“John took excellent care of Lucy and the house while house sitting. Sent lots of updates and pictures so I felt I knew exactly how everything was going while I was away. Would absolutely love to have John take care of Lucy the next time we need to go out of town.”
