House Sitting in North Fair Oaks

“I lucked out finding Ian on Rover. This was my first time leaving my dog overnight with someone I didn’t know and, from the very beginning, Ian made me feel at ease. They stayed at my home and took excellent care of my dog while I was away, sending me several pictures and updates every day.”

“Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.”

About: I have my own 7 year old corgi whom I love to take on social outings, and have always wanted to own a ranch to foster dogs and other animals. for now, this will do🤓 I enjoy popping in to see my friends’ dogs while they’re at work to take them out for potty breaks & play, and watching my friends’ dogs when they go on trips~ Currently on a 3 month LOA from my nursing job, but am planning on taking a break afterwards due to burnout. Because of that I’m flexible and able to adjust to whatever needs pets may have! Currently I wake up, walk Toast (my corgi), hangout with him for a bit and then run errands if there are any. I can then pop in for a drop in/walk elsewhere (and bring toast too possibly)! He’s an integral part of my life so he’s always involved if he can be! My husband is an anesthesia MD resident at Stanford so he’s often at the hospital with long hours — all that to say he’s not very high maintenance as well so I have more wiggle room with my schedule :) I love dogs, and will always treat yours like I treat mine :) Will leave Toast at home if your dog is not up for socializing, but can also bring Toast if your dog needs some doggie time.

“Angelica was so great with our 1 year old lab, bowie. She came two nights in a row to look after him and she was so attentive. She played with him and took him out on walks -- we were able to not worry while we were gone. Thank you Angelica!”

“Stephanie accepted our request at very last minute. She’s been very Calm and kept Patience with Leo. Followed all the instructions. Definitely recommend her for future House sitting !!”

“Victoria was fantastic with Piggy and Toast. She was kind, reliable, a great communicator, and sent us lovely photo updates while we were away. The dogs clearly adored her, and we came home to an incredibly tidy house. We’re so happy we found her and would absolutely book her again!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine one-on-one attention I give each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I have been around dogs for most of my life and have been caring for them for about six years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog's unique personality. Whether a dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and lots of cuddles, I enjoy making them feel comfortable and cared for. I especially enjoy spending time with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and attention they sometimes need. I am currently a college student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with your pets throughout the week and most weekends. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine because it is something I truly enjoy doing. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I always follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether I am caring for them in your home or taking them on a walk, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet the same way I would want someone to treat my own.

“We’ll hire Alexander again! He was thankfully available relatively last minute before our vacation after our previous sitter fell through. He was communicative and shared updates and photos of happy, tired pups throughout the week.”

“We’ve used Austin several times and we couldn’t be happier having him stay in our home and care for our dog. He is responsible and caring! Our lab loves Austin and is always sad to see him go!”

“Xander is the best! We’ve already booked him for two more stays. We returned to an immaculate house and a very happy dog:). Our pup is a bit timid and nervous around new people and Xander put her entirely at ease.”

Courtney Q.

“Chelsea did a wonderful job taking care of our beloved doggie while we were away! She was very responsible and communicative. We are very grateful for her help!”

Amalia K.

“Audra is very responsible and caring not just with Emi but also with our home, she is very communicative and send us updates about our dog and Emi loves her. I would recommend Audra to anyone :)”

“Andrea is awesome and a true dog lover! She stayed at our house for 5 days and made our 10 year old Havanese feel so comfortable. He is more on the anxious side and Andrea knew how to handle his needs in an appropriate way. Communication was easy and regular with cute pictures. She took him regularly for walks and he ate super well which was also a sign that he was feeling great. Thank you Andrea for taking such a good care of Rio and loving him.”

“Kimberly was excellent – very caring for our old dog, very responsible and responsive, and left our house better than she found it. We will definitely be using her again – in fact, I just booked her from another trip! Strongly recommend.”

About: I have been cat and dog sitting since I was 16! I have experience walking and pet sitting for neighbor’s, friend’s and family’s animals. I also grew up with dogs so I am very comfortable with all ages and sizes of animals! I have experience volunteering at the Wisconsin Humane Society from college so I have formal dog walking training! I just finished a contract working at Stanford and have some extra time in my day now. I am big on taking my daily walks outside and any pet can join me! Other than exercising I spend most of my day doing work and reading being a couch potato. I always try to work with the pets routine and stay flexible. I am big on making the pets comfortable (usually with treats and floor time) around me. I like to spend time with pets in their home before taking them on walks or letting them out. I can follow any rules set and any training that needs to be enforced as well.

“Aylia was great! This was our 6-month old Beagle pup’s first experience with a sitter, and it went without a hitch. Our puppy warmed up to Aylia instantly. We will surely use Aylia again.”

“Thiri was great with our high energy puppy Jira and took her to the park a lot, she was very good at sending us updates throughout the day which we really appreciated since it was our first time using Rover. Overall the house was in order when we got back and Jira was happy!”

Sofia C.

“Marisol was wonderful with my animals!!! Our dog was well cared for and happy when we returned! Our house was also so clean when we returned! Highly recommend ☺️”

“This was Akisha’s first sitting in this area and I will strongly recommend her for house sitting your beloved pets. She kept me informed me throughout via pictures and video messages and took a great care of my dog and the house.”

About: I spoil the pets I care for. Your dog gets exercise and genuine companionship. Your cat gets a safe, entertaining environment where they’re actually the center of attention. I’ve loved my own Maltese Poodle for six years and my British Shorthair cat is basically my child, that’s the energy I bring. No rushing, no distractions. Just real care that makes your pet feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I maintain a flexible schedule that accommodates pet sitting requests. For weekday bookings, I require a minimum of three hours notice. For weekend appointments, I ask for twenty-four hours notice to ensure I can give each pet my full attention and plan accordingly. My work schedule allows me to prioritize pet care commitments, and I’m selective about the bookings I take on so I can deliver reliable, quality care every time. The safety and comfort of every pet in my care is my top priority. In my home, I keep spaces clean, secure, and free of hazards — doors and gates are always checked, and I make sure any potentially harmful items (foods, plants, cleaning products) are out of reach. I treat every pet like they belong there, giving them time to settle in at their own pace. In a client’s home, I follow their routines and instructions closely — feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any quirks or preferences their pet has. I believe the best care comes from consistency and attention, so I stay observant and responsive to how each animal is feeling throughout my visits or stays. I always leave the home the way I found it (or better), and I keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident while they’re away.
