House Sitting Nicolaus

“Carrington is simply put an amazing dog sitter. You can feel it from the moment you meet her that this isn’t just a job to her it’s her passion. My dogs fell in love with her from our meet & greets to now getting to spend a full day of fun & play. I was dreading losing a day with my pups due to work but I can honestly say it was a blessing in disguise. Obi & Koda are ready to wind down after a long day of fun with their new best friend. She kept me informed from beginning to end, no anxiety or feeling of dread I know they were both happy all day long with the most adorable pictures as proof. Thank you so much Carrington!”

About: I grew up around pets and have loved them ever since. I have raised multiple litters of puppies and kittens. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages ranging from 2 weeks to 12 years! I can provide crate training, can administer oral medication, as well as give eye drops and use topical medications, I also have experience with bathing both dogs and cats. I’m currently in college and only go on Tuesday's and thursdays from 9am -4 pm I have pretty flexible hours so just message me and we can work something out! I promise to keep your pet(s) in safe and loving hands! Potty breaks always come first, along with any other specific instructions such as feeding, filling water bowls, administering medications, etc. Me and your pet can play, cuddle, go for walks, or I can just be there to keep them company while they do their own thing. Whatever it is, I’m there to care!

“Waymon was great!! Our original sitter was a no show and Waymon saved us and our trip. He was available for us on such short notice and provided us with lots of photos and updates to keep us at ease and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend!”

“Ryan is wonderful with our pets! He is able to handle our 92 pound hyper 10 month old lab and our 15 year old anxious chihuahua. Ryan communicated the perfect amount with us during our trip and left our house in the same condition as when we left. We already have him booked for our next vacation! Thanks Ryan!”

“Deanna was wonderful!!! Couldn’t recommend her enough. We left for a week and when we got home our dogs were happy as can be, that tells me everything I need to know :) we were sent lots of pictures and they seemed to really enjoy themselves. Would definitely book with her again!!”

“We recently had Christopher stay with our two French bulldogs for 7 days, and he did a great job. It looks like he followed our guidelines; he sent just enough pictures, and when we were quiet for a few days, I reached out, and he always responded quickly. The pups seemed good when we got home. Even the mail lady said he was really nice. We would definitely invite him back.”

“Kimberly was excellent! She took great care of our dogs and birds. She also respected our home and house rules. Definitely recommend her ?”

“After a four day trip, we came home to a happy and well-cared-for dog, and a clean house! Matt was very communicative and send lots of pics during his stay. Happy to book with him again should the need arise.”

“We’re so grateful for Analisa. She agreed to watch our boys at the very last minute and was excellent in communicating with us her entire stay. We will definitely be using her for our future needs.”

“A week before our trip our family member cancelled watching our 3 dogs and home. We panicked! I remembered seeing Jennifer’s dog sitting ad on Facebook. I downloaded Rover on my phone and set up my account. I looked all through Rover till I found her. She immediately contacted me back and we set up a meet and greet to see how she was around the dogs. She was great, very sweet and caring with our pups! We hired her through Rover which was a very easy process. She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend. They even all ate their dinners for her which is a challenge for my Yorkie and Havanese. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures throughout the trip. I would highly recommend Jenifer for the love and care of your pets while you’re away. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and awesome communication.”

About: I enjoy walking and taking pets out on a walk. I am young and able to be active with the pets, take them to parks and on walks I work remote most times and have some more open availability allowing me to check on the pets during the day and go on walks when nice out. I will offer pet care at the clients house as that’s where pets are most comfortable. I will take the time to come visit prior to the clients leaving.

About: There hasn’t been a time in my life when I didn’t have an animal by my side. I have extensive, hands-on experience owning, fostering, sitting, and walking all kinds of animals. I truly understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs, and I pride myself on stepping in to provide seamless, consistent care—picking up exactly where you left off. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, strict medical/routine management, or just gentle, attentive companionship, I am here to provide peace of mind. Whatever you and your animals need, I'm your girl! I work full-time providing home care for adults with mental health and developmental disabilities. Because my shifts can be non-traditional, clear communication is my absolute priority to ensure your pet's schedule is perfectly maintained. I keep my Rover calendar strictly updated with my work hours so you always know my exact availability before booking. If an 8-hour shift overlaps with your needed care times, we will discuss a seamless game plan beforehand to ensure your pet is fully looked after. Outside of my shift hours, I put focus on pet care. My background makes me highly routine-oriented, meaning I am incredibly reliable when it comes to early morning check-ins, evening walks, or overnight sitting blocks. I believe every pet deserves the perfect fit. If my work schedule ever conflicts with what your pet needs, I will be completely transparent upfront so you can find the best match for them. If we are a match, you can count on absolute reliability, consistent updates, and a dedicated sitter who treats your schedule—and your pet—with total respect! Whether I am caring for your pet in the comfort of your own home or hosting them with me, safety and open communication are my absolute top priorities. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, ensuring a secure, low-stress environment. I strictly follow your household rules, feeding schedules, and medication timelines. Keeping their environment consistent prevents anxiety while you are away.

About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have many years of personal experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. I understand that every animal is unique, with their own routines, preferences, and ways of communicating. I am a mature, compassionate, and responsible professional employed full-time with the State of California. My background also includes many years in education, leadership, and positions requiring a high level of trust, patience, and attention to detail. I have also 20+ years of house/petting sitting experience. My approach to pet care is grounded in kindness, attentiveness, consistency, and respect. I believe animals thrive when they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether your pet enjoys energetic walks, playful companionship, quiet affection, or simply having someone nearby, I take the time to understand what makes them comfortable and happy. I am especially interested in overnight and extended house-sitting opportunities. I understand how important it is to know that your beloved animals and home are being cared for while you're away. I treat each home with respect and every pet with the same tenderness and consideration I give my own. I am happy to provide regular updates and photographs, follow established feeding and care routines, and accommodate reasonable special requests. My goal is simple: to give you genuine peace of mind and help your pets feel secure, content, and loved until you return. I currently work in the office, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (general 8 hour day with flexibility) and Wednesdays I work remote. Saturdays and Sundays I'm available all day. I'm a home centered person, so I'll have plenty of time to give companionship and play. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I believe that animals feel most secure when they are surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines, which is why I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own homes. With more than 25 years of house and pet-sitting experience, I understand the importance of providing a safe, peaceful, and nurturing environment while respecting each pet's individual personality and needs. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications when applicable, exercise, household routines, and any special care requirements. I pay close attention to your pet's behavior, appetite, comfort, and overall well-being, and I take care to keep doors, gates, and other potential hazards secure. I treat every home with the same respect and consideration I would want for my own. I maintain a clean and orderly environment, respect your privacy and belongings, and ensure your home is secure throughout your absence. Communication is especially important to me. I am happy to provide regular updates, photographs, and reassurance so you can feel connected to your pets while you're away. As a full-time State of California employee, I maintain a dependable professional schedule and am especially well suited for pets who are comfortable with their owners working during the day. I provide attentive care before and after work, overnight companionship, and additional time together on weekends. Above all, I want you to return home to happy, relaxed pets and a home that has been lovingly and responsibly cared for.

About: I have been taking care of animals pretty much all my life. I am an animal lover, especially good at caring for senior animals and those with special needs. I have recently left teaching and currently I work part time and can make my own schedule. I sometimes care for my granddaughter during the week, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I will care for your pets in your home where they are comfortable. I will tend to their needs, we will play and bind and have a wonderful time and you will be able to enjoy your time away without having to worry about them.

About: I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m a student and I will have plenty of time to care for your little furry friends. My availability will be from Thursday to Sunday I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making pets feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions to keep their pets safe, happy, and cared for.

“Marisela went above and beyond with my girls. I appreciate your willingness to help me in my day notice request. She was extremely understanding and patient to my eldest dog who takes a little longer to build trust. I highly recommend her services— I have very picky expectations who watches my girls.”

“Bari took care of our dog for 10 days, which is a big deal for our dog. She took great care of him and sent lots of photos and updates. Bari is also very respectful of our home when she stays. And she's so sweet and nice to interact with. I appreciate Bari so much and am so grateful that she watches our dog and our home while we're away!”

“Gabriela was great with my puppy. It was so nice being able to leave her at the hotel and not worry. I will definitely recommend her to everyone I know.”
