House Sitting National City

“Sarah was the first overnight cat sitter I've booked and she was perfect! I was suuuper anxious to leave my sweet 2 year old IBD kitty alone for a week but my first meet and greet with Sarah calmed all my worries. Sarah house sat for 7 days and 6 nights and was kind enough to start early morning and stay late when I returned from the airport. She vacuumed before my arrival which was great. My kitty is normally very shy but he took to her quickly. I was worried about him not eating but he was comfortable enough to eat most of his food and by the 2nd day let her pet him and got closer and more comfortable the following days. He threw up at one point and Sarah kept me informed with pictures and cleaned it up thoroughly right away. I had a lot of instructions with his strict diet and Sarah was very attentive and dedicated to quality care. All of Sarah's daily updates were so nice. Will definitely book again!”

“Jackie was very helpful and patient with our shorty bulldog. He can be quite particular on walks or around other dogs. She constantly updated us with photos and information regarding his medicine. Would definitely be utilizing her services in the future. We would highly recommend booking with Jackie!”

“Roni was a lifesaver after I had a last minute cancellation. We were able to meet and establish a dog-sitter relationship quickly and efficiently. Roni was communicative and sympathetic in a stressful moment for me. My dog, who can be slow to warm up with stranger, accepted Roni quickly. They followed instructions well and I’m excited to have such a good option next time I go on a trip.”

“Mara is incredible! She was a fantastic sitter for my pup, bringing him on adventures and taking great care of him! She was so patient with my nervous boy, which end in him giving her all of the snuggles. Mara kept me updated with photos and end of the day updates that made me feel so comfortable even though I was so far away. I will definitely utilize Mara’s services again, and I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter :)”

“Emma was truly one of the best sitters I’ve ever had. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog. She was extremely mindful, respectful, kind and patient with my dog. She genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and does a great job. I was getting consistent updates though out the day and I loved it.”

“Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.”

“Justine was very communicative and sent us lots of photos! She is very friendly and took detailed notes at the meet and greet. Took great care of our dog and pet rats.”

“Priscilla is the best! Daisy loved her! We are staying down in the San Diego area for a few days in our motorhome. Priscilla came out to the RV park and watched Daisy so we could go out and explore the area for the day. She kept my wife updated, and kept Daisy busy. The best sitter we have found on River so far!”

“Crystalinda was great with our dog Murray. Murray had some unexpected medical issues arise a few days before her stay, and Crystalinda was a great communicator and handled the change/additional care with ease. Will definitely be using Crystalinda again!”

“Absolute A+ service. We were nervous to have someone watch our two dogs based off of a bad past experience, but Karilou quickly put our nerves at ease. Her communication throughout the entire visit exceeded our expectations. She was very attentive to our dogs and asked questions if anything seemed unusual. She also took good care of our home and left it tidy and clean. Would recommend to others and would happy to ask for her help watching our dogs again in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who treats them like family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’m attentive, patient, and prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety at all times. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll make sure they stick to their normal routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I’m a dog owner myself. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while keeping you updated every step of the way. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is loved and well cared for.

“So happy we found Denise to take care of our two boys! My younger pup doesn’t take to people quickly and to my surprise he loved Denise right away. She followed all my directions and communicated the perfect amount! I could really tell that the boys were well taken care of. ❤️”

About: Located in Sherman Heights near East Village and Golden Hill, perfect for long walks and fresh air. I recently lost my 8-year-old lab/pitty mix and am hoping to continue engaging with dogs while dealing with the loss. I have also fostered rescue dogs, am experienced with highly energetic dogs, and injured or disabled dogs. I've always loved animals and thought this would be a fantastic way to earn additional money and do something I love. Eager to provide a place of love and attention for dogs temporarily separated from their owners. It's stressful enough to be away from your pet without worrying if a kennel will provide them enough attention and engagement. I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I work from home full time so can give your dog all the love and attention they need. My schedule is pretty flexible and I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible. I prefer to take dogs out at least twice daily for walks, including one longer scent walk where we let their nose lead the way. I live close to downtown San Diego and can easily walk to East Village or Gaslamp which is are extremely dog friendly areas. I have a small fenced-in yard and can easily crate your dog if necessary. I have experience administering oral medications if necessary and always keep a well stocked pet first aid kit in my home and car. If caring for your pet in your home, I can adapt easily to their routine and will meet your pet at their comfort level.

“Nancy is always wonderful with Winnie. We have used her many times for care, and we never have any issues. She is so respectful and communicates so well. We are so happy we found her!”

“Ivana was so great with Kona! She sent lots of photos and took him on multiple walks while she stayed with him. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hello, I am Robert and I look forward to meeting & getting to know your pet(s). 🐕 🐈 🤗 —————————————————— I also offer to care for your home and water & feed your plants while you are away. I have experience caring for both indoor & outdoor plants. 🪴 —————————————————— As a professional sitter, it is my goal to provide you, the pet/ home owner, the peace of mind that your pet(s) and your property is being left in capable hands caring for your beloved pet(s) and home. ———————————————————————————————————— I am a cheerful, friendly, responsible fellow. I am an experienced home owner, non-smoker & a non-drinker. I don’t do drugs. You will learn that I am caring, thoughtful, honest and respectful. I will plan to be as communicative and responsive as you wish while you are away providing you updates regarding the well being of your pet(s). —————————————————— I am immediately available October 28 - November 2 with a possibility to extend. ——————————————————- For my entire life I’ve owned and cared for pets off & on. I fondly remember my Beagle, Brownie, when I was growing up. We had a special long standing connection. I reminisce how Brownie used to love to launch herself off the dock, into the lake, going after balls I’d throw for her. 💦 —————————————————— We had many cats both as I grew up and while married. One cat, we called Mr. Mayor, we had micro-chipped and it was a good thing because one day he disappeared. We feared he had headed out of town in a neighbor’s U-Haul but no… three years later we received a call from Animal Services that a neighbor, two blocks away and across a busy street, had apprehended Mr. Mayor digging in her garden and took him to Animal Services. We were both amazed and overjoyed to receive Mr. Mayor back in our home. 🥰 —————————————————- At about this same time, we had adopted two more cats and I built a cat run attached to our house complete with cat walks & perching platforms. I also fondly remember Arnie at this time, a beautiful rescue Golden Retriever. I used to love taking him for walks in the neighborhood. —————————————————— More recently, I pet sat for a couple, Katrina & Alexander, in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. I cared for their 2 bunnies, Indie and Misty; their tropical fish and their many house plants while they were visiting Belgium. The bunnies were quite frisky! ☺️ ——————————————————- In 2023 I also cared & walked Watson, a gorgeous Rhodesian Ridgeback, while visiting some friends in Savannah, Georgia. Walking Watson was a joy & a great way to get to know Savannah some and develop a new friendship. ——————————————————- On two occasions I cared for Thaddeus, a very good plushy brown Labrador mix. I walked him, fed him and provided him with his medication. Sometimes we would enjoy extended walking adventures together. Wow, he gets so excited about going for walks and his meal times especially when he was on his “Farmer Dog” dog food! He would prance so high & around for this delicious gravy. (I was a “repeat pet parent” here.) 🐕 —————————————————— Another Recomendation: * Bob stayed with us for a few days in 2023 and graciously walked our dog, Watson, while we were at work. The two of them really hit it off. Watson is quite affectionate. We highly recommend Bob to you as a pet sitter and know you will be pleased how he will care for not only your pet but for your home as well.

About: I love all animals! I mostly grew up with dogs. I also take care of my roommates cat who is very friendly. Family and friends trust me with their four-legged children to ensure they're taken care of and well fed. I take time taking them out for walks and a little exercise. I give them lots of love and hugs. I ensure to balance that pets receive the same amount of time and attention as do children. I also treat them as if they were people. I allow pets, especially dogs to familiarize themselves with me. Adjust their comfort to my personality's frequency. I allow them to come to me before I make any approach.
