House Sitting Ocean View

About: knowledgeable in stimulus activities, to improve dogs mental health and experienced in basic grooming such as cleaning ears, clipping nails, and brushing teeth. I can also teach basic commands like sitting, walking on a loose leash, and recall. currently, I am a college student taking online classes, which leaves me with a flexible schedule and the ability work around whatever schedule is necessary. The type of attention and care I provide for pets in peoples home varies from person to person depending on the age and breed of the dog. However in general exercising the dogs mind and body is important. I typically do this through walks, playing games, and giving stimulus activities.

“Erica has been a kind and attentive sitter for our cat, Cheetah. They immediately connected, and it was clear from the start that Cheetah felt comfortable and happy in her care!”

About: I am a life-long dog lover who has looked after the dogs in my family for years, from Australian Shepards to Shih Tzus. I began my career in childcare before transitioning to dog-care in recent years. I have experience with looking after dogs of all ages and sizes, which includes services such as feeding, walking, and daily enrichment or playtime. I am a recent USF graduate with lots of time to spare. I am available everyday, and will accept any time of day to take care of your pup. I am also available on weekends and holidays. When taking care of a pet at a client’s home, I make sure to keep the area clean and tidy for sanitary purposes. I am always sure to use a leash when going for walks or potty breaks, and I truly value feeding all dogs a clean, balanced diet. Playful activities with your canine is always special, and I enjoy playing catch or tug with toys that are available.

“Shai is the BEST!! Truly the best Rover we have ever had. My dog takes awhile to warm up to people generally but loved her the moment he saw her and CRIES when she leaves the house (which he doesn’t even do for us!!). We are so grateful we found her!”

“Brooke took excellent care of my dog, Reese, at my home while I was away for a long weekend. She took her out for several long walks so she was happily tired out at the end of the day. Brooke followed the directions/ information about Reese that we had discussed. The house looked great- the same as when I had left. I highly recommend Brooke to take care of your dog!”

“Kimberly has stayed with Paws on numerous occasions and things always go smoothly. Kimberly provides frequent updates and lots of photos - which I appreciate. Paws is a senior dog with special needs and Kimberly never misses a beat in taking care of him. Will book again.”

“Regina did a great job taking care of our elder dog and two kittens. It was a huge relief to know that they were all being cared for and loved on while we were away from home. I got pics and updates every day and came home to three very contented and relaxed pets. It was clear they had all been very comfortable with Regina. She left my place perfectly neat, and was easy to communicate with throughout. I would highly recommend her services and will definitely be hiring her again whenever we have need and she is available.”

Sarah M.

“Leslie did a great job sitting Nash! By the pictures she sent you could tell he was having a great time at the park. Thanks for watching my baby over the holiday!”

Heidi F.

“Danielle was great with my anxious pup! She made herself available at the last minute after another sitter cancelled, and I felt completely comfortable leaving Adare with her for the day. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.”

Heather O.

“Kassidy was amazing! Super reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. I felt totally at ease knowing my pets were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

Julianna R.

“Femke was the best! She clicked with Fernet immediately and from the photos she sent, he spent most of our trip on her lap :). Femke was incredibly communicative and made sure we had daily updates with photos and videos of thier adventures. Would definitely book again!”

Jennifer L.

“Kristin is very responsible in her communications and her committment to times of arrival. I have used her twice now and both times she made a special accomodation to stop by early on the way to work so I could get my dog Lucy "used to her" and wouldn't be surprised in the afternoon. Throughout the stay, Kristin sent me a good amount of pictures and updates at least twice a day, often three. I highly recommend Kristin.”

Rafael C.

“The kitties were very calm when we returned, and we assume this is because they had great company in Cameron. Cameron stayed overnight for the weekend and we'd do it again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 6-year-old Burmese and Australian Shepherd mix, and over the years I’ve cared for four cats for more than 10 years combined. I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy working out, running, hiking, and spending quality time with animals. Long walks, play sessions, and providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation are some of my favorite ways to help pets stay happy and healthy. If your dog is energetic and requires extra activity, engagement, or attention, I’m more than happy to provide the level of care they need. I genuinely enjoy building connections with animals and treating them like family. I also created a social media account dedicated to my own dog, which reflects my love for capturing special moments and celebrating the joy pets bring into our lives. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion, and I strive to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I meet. During the week I work from 10 AM to about 6 PM Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours I am available from 7:30 AM to about 9 AM Monday through Friday. Then on the weekends I’m typically free starting as early as you need me and as late as you need me. I ensure that I maintain my litter for my cats clean consistently washing the litter boxes replacing the litter and showing that I’m scooping at least three times a day. I also feed my cats twice a day and ensure they have a mix of wet food and kibble. For my dog I typically always wake up early in the morning to take him on a long walk and then I typically provide my dog breakfast followed by a treat. I spent a lot of time next to him so I will pet him hug him give him attention simulation. I did ensure that after work when I come home that I walk him at least 30 minutes and ensure that I am checking in on him and feeding him no later than 6 PM every day and then going on another walk after dinner. On the weekends I typically tip my dog on longer walk so we’ll go out and walk for about an hour on Saturday and Sunday I’ll make sure that I keep him away from a high foot traffic area is just to avoid any potential dog interactions that we may not be fully confident in as we don’t know everyone’s pet care routine or nuanced behavior issues. I’m always attentive and patient.

“Joe dog sat with us for 4 days at our home. We met him up earlier to make sure he and Nala were a good fit. Throughout our trip, he was kind, reliable, and responsive. We are so happy to have had him. Nala did great with him!”

“Jessica was super respectful of our home, took wonderful care of our high energy dog and checked in regularly, asking great questions that showed she really cared about our dog and home. Definitely the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Heidi being our house and dog sitter. From the very beginning, she were incredibly attentive, responsible, and communicative. We received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful messages that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable when we returned home. It was obvious they paid close attention to routines, needs, and little details. They also took great care of our home — everything was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. It’s not easy to trust someone with both your pet and your home, but Heidi exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter. Thank you Heidi!!”

“Alex was awesome! Great communication throughout my trip, followed instructions super well, handled my very picky eater Mixie with lots of patience and care, and left my apartment in a great state for when I returned. Would definitively recommend!”

Parina G.

“Amazing pet sitter, my cats loved them. Respectful towards space, I came back home and my furry family was not anxious and looked very happy. Video calls ones a day during drop ins definitely helped my animals to feel better. Appreciate the help with my kitties.”
