House Sitting In Ocean View

“Brooke was a great caretaker of our dog Reilly! She stayed at our home with him, was very attentive and kind, and took him out on some great outings. She also did some training with him which we asked for and appreciated. Highly recommended!”

About: I'm a huge cat lover and have taken care of family cats for most of my life. In college, my partner and I adopted a cat of our own, Ophelia, who I pamper and play with every day. I'm passionate about going above and beyond to accommodate all of you and your cat's needs and preferences to ensure I'm providing high-quality, personalized care. Having grown up around cats and being passionate about continuous learning on how to best care for them, I'm very knowledgeable about cat body language cues and behavior. With this knowledge, I'm able to understand and resolve behavioral issues accordingly, whether that means simply giving a cat some space, understanding that they would probably like to play rather than be petted (or via versa), or figuring out why they seem to be avoiding their litter box and doing my best to fix the issue. In addition to my general experience, I also have experience with and am passionate about taking care of cats with special needs. I'm able to administer medication and carefully monitor cats to ensure that they stay healthy and happy. When I was walking home from class in my senior year of college, I found an injured cat on the side of the road and immediately took her to the emergency vet. The vet told me she had a broken pelvis, but that she would likely be able to heal without surgery if given the proper care. She was not able to walk, so I took care of her, cleaning her every day and administering her pain medication every eight hours for a week until I was luckily able to reunite her with her family! I learned that her name was Tessie and that she was a Maine Coon. Tessie's family kept me updated on her healing and I was so happy to hear that she was able to make a full recovery from her injury and walk again. I'm so proud of the part I played in Tessie's healing and want to treat your kitty with the same love and care! I'm a recent college graduate working a remote job and an in-person part-time job a few days a week in addition to cat-sitting. Because of my flexible schedule, I can ensure that I will always be able to make time in my schedule to care for, play with, and pamper your kitty. I will closely follow all instructions regarding feeding your cat, giving your cat care and attention, brushing your cat, playing with your cat with whatever toys he/she prefers, scooping the litter box on a daily basis, and cleaning up the feeding area and litter box area to make sure you come home to a clean house. I take plenty of pictures each day to give you peace of mind that your cat is in good hands. I'm also happy to do other small tasks around the house such as bringing in packages and watering plants.

“Seng was great! Super friendly, flexible and did a great job caring for my Mixie and following all instructions. Mixie seemed to love her instantly, which was a big win! Would definitely recommend!”

“Although I didn't get a chance to meet her in person, Loretta was awesome! I needed to find a dog sitter at the very last minute for a few hours and she totally saved the day. She was super responsible, communicative, and dedicated to making sure that both Elvis and I had a great experience. It was my first time using Rover and, thanks to Loretta, I'll definitely be doing so again - ideally with her if she's available! Thanks very much again, Loretta!”

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.

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!”

Olivia K.

“Leslie was great. She was a good communicator before the sit and my dog loved her. She stayed after I got home to let me know how my dog was. I would definitely recommend her.”

Caitlin D.

“Satine was great. She was highly communicative, responsive and took the dog all over town! I have rarely seen Zorro happier in his photos. Satine left my home sparkling clean and Zorro was relaxed when I found him. I look forward to working with her again”

About: Grew up with dogs and love to walk in the city. Can train to sit and shake and provide medication to special needs fur buddies. Part time work is available so I have time to care for your pets! I enjoy walking in the afternoon and can walk your buddy. I am a cat person and respect the first-time boundaries of your furry pals. I not only respect owners home, but the pets home as well. I try to introduce myself slowly to not worry the pet, respect boundaries.

“Spirit and Christine survived Spirit's first out of home sitting experience post-adoption. From the amazing photos Christine sent every day, Spirit seemed to have had a great time. Christine was very patient drawing Spirit out of her shell, and got to the belly rub stage much faster than we did after adoption. My only complaint is that Christine taught Spirit how to "shake" during the three day stay and now Spirit keeps "shaking" her paw even when not asked. Definitely will be using Christine in the future!”

“Gisselle is phenomenal! She takes wonderful care of Nala (and all of Nala’s extra needs), sends lots of great updates, and is also very conscientious and takes great care of the apartment. Thank you!”

“Marlena was a pleasure to work with! She was prompt, kind, and our dog, Charlie, was so excited to see her! We would definitely hire Marlena again!”

Sam M.

“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!”

About: Besides being a natural born bark enthusiast I spent 7 years as a nanny and house manager which often times also included taking care of the family dogs inside their home and occasionally my own.

I spend the majority of my time with your dog, making sure they have company and don't feel anxious and aren't left alone for too long.

“Kimberly, you are amazing! THANK YOU! Paws was super happy and well taken care of when I got home. You were patient with him and his "senior-related quirks". I am always apprehensive, and anxious when I have to leave him, especially because of his age. Your frequent updates, pictures, and videos alleviated a lot of my anxiety. I deeply appreciate that you took good care of my home and even tossed in a couple of loads of laundry. I would HIGHLY recommend Kimberly and will use her again in the future.”

“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.”

“Muhammad is a phenomenal dog sitter who earned our complete trust. He was amazing with our two Dobermans, remained highly responsive, and provided constant photo and video updates. When one of our dogs became sick, he handled the situation with total professionalism and compassion—even going above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog’s diarrhea. We are incredibly grateful for his care and will absolutely book him again!”

Marcos G.

“Perry was wonderful again with our dog, Roan, today! He sent tons of pictures throughout the day, got Roan out on several walks and clearly cares a ton about the happiness and comfort of the pups he is caring for. Can't wait to have Perry back again soon and would recommend him to anyone in need of care for their pups! He is terrific!”

Alison & Scott S.

“Nikka is a gem!! She was extremely communicative and sent me regular updates while watching our two large dogs and bird while we were out of town. She is trustworthy, caring, and made me feel so comfortable being away from my fur babies. I highly recommend booking Nikka if she is available.”
