House Sitting Palms

“Meng is highly responsible, informs herself of everything she needs to know to take care of one's pet. She stayed for a couple of nights, sent me lovely photos of my sweet pup, left my place clean and my pup was calm and happy when I returned! She will be in my auto-dial!”

“Molly took amazing care of our dog and cat while we were out of town. Our dog was anxious the first night, and Molly was incredibly patient with her. She took our dog on long walks and sent us frequent/detailed updates that put us at ease. We’re so happy we found Molly!!”

“Jennifer is great! Followed instructions and provided consistent updates. Super patient and attentive to my dog’s needs. I’m really excited to have found another reliable sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Mireya. I am a public health professional by day and a passionate dog walker on the side. As the proud owner of two adorable miniature doxens, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m dependable, patient, and love spending time outdoors. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or extra belly rubs, your pup will be in caring hands. I have a flexible work from home schedule. I enjoy talking walks during lunch , so why not walk your dog :). During the weekends , I am free any time. I always make sure my dogs have water right after their walks and always ensure I carry extra potty bags. If warm , we always walk on the shady area.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for more than 30 years, both my own and those belonging to friends and family. Over time, I became the person people call when they need someone they genuinely trust with their animals and their home. For years, pet sitting has simply been part of my life. I’m the go-to sitter for many of my friends, and I’ve reached the point where I want to make caring for animals a much more significant part of what I do. I’ve cared for pets through every stage of life, from healthy, energetic animals to seniors with complex medical needs. The longest I cared for one pet was 15 years. That experience taught me how important it is to know what is normal for an individual animal and to notice when something changes. That is a big part of how I approach pet sitting. I pay attention. I learn their routines, how they communicate, what makes them comfortable, and what stresses them out. I notice changes in appetite, energy, behavior, bathroom habits, breathing, vocalization, and the other small things that can tell you an animal is not feeling quite right. I’m also very comfortable following detailed care instructions. I have experience with special diets, oral medications, senior-pet care, behavioral issues, and more involved care routines. I understand that when an animal has specific needs, consistency matters. At the same time, I don’t believe every pet needs to be handled the same way. Some animals want constant companionship. Others prefer a little distance until they decide they trust you. Some want long walks and lots of play. Others are happiest sleeping nearby while you leave them alone. I don’t force interaction. I let the animal tell me what kind of relationship they are comfortable having with me. My goal when house sitting is to keep their life as normal as possible while you’re gone. That means maintaining their feeding, walking, play, medication, and sleep routines as closely as I can, while giving them the level of companionship they are used to. I also send regular updates and photos so you don’t have to wonder how things are going at home. And I take the “house” part of house sitting seriously. I treat someone else’s home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I keep the space clean and orderly, water plants, bring in mail and packages, take care of the ordinary household tasks that still need to happen while you’re away, and handle minor issues when I reasonably can. The feedback I hear most often is that the animals are happy and relaxed when their people return, and the house looks great. That’s exactly what I want. I want you to come home to happy pets, a cared-for home, and the feeling that while you were away, everything was in good hands. I work mostly from home, with the occasional job taking me out of the home for a few hours at a time. Sometimes as little as 2 hours, and sometimes as much as 8. I tend to schedule all my work and pet-sitting around each other so there's no conflict. For puppies, I won't leave them for more than an hour at a time, as they need more bathroom breaks. For smaller dogs, I try to cap it at 3-4 hours. Larger dogs can handle me being away for about 6 hours, and cats I can leave for up to 8. I follow each pet’s established routine closely and let trust develop at their pace. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health, keep the home secure and orderly, and handle basic household needs while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy pets, a cared-for home, and no surprises when you return.

“Paul was a fantastic dogsitter the week he took care of my definitely-a-handful dog Athena. Athena take medication three times a day for epilepsy and requires a muzzle on walks and she therefore comes with a long list of instructions and contingency plans in case of seizures. Paul proved very caring, attentive, and detail-oriented for the entire week, plus Athena was clearly in love with him by the time I came home. Additionally he was always quickly responsive via in-app texts, which included needing to coordinate with my vet to respond to some allergic reactions & skin irritation that week. I would 100% rebook Paul for housesitting or any other services.”

“Riley is a warm and caring pet sitter! I knew my chihuahua was in good hands at the first meeting, and Riley's confidence and capability in handling my puppy was greatly reassuring. From the pictures, videos and updates it was clear my dog had a great time and felt very comfortable with Riley! So happy to have found her before my trip!”

“Mr. Biscuit is so happy when Aolani is here with him. The pictures she’s able to capture of them together are no less than super adorable. I can see the light and life in his eyes when he’s with her. He’s an older guy, but I think he feels young again when he’s with Aolani! Aolani is very responsible, pays close attention to detail and goes over and beyond to make our little guy feel special, happy and comfortable. It is apparent that she really cares about annimals, and I’m so happy to have found her. She’s literally the best!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs. I grew up with them, and even though we have cats now (apartment life!), I still miss that daily dog energy — the excitement, the curiosity, the joy of getting outside. Recently, I started taking morning walks to stay healthy, and seeing dogs that clearly wanted to explore more inspired me to start walking pups for others. It felt like the perfect win for everyone: your dog gets the adventure they deserve, and I get the movement I need. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic explorers, slow strollers, or sniff‑every‑corner detectives. Because walking has become part of my own health routine, I’m committed to giving your dog a full, meaningful walk every time. They need it, and honestly, so do I. I work as a professor and often work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks throughout the day. If your dog has specific routines, quirks, or favorite routes, I’m more than happy to follow them. And if you’d like photo or video updates while we’re out, I’m glad to send them so you can see how your pup is doing. I look forward to giving your dog the care, attention, and adventure they deserve. I’m also open to caring for senior dogs, high‑energy pups, or dogs with special needs. If your dog requires oral or injected medications, I’m happy to talk through their routine to see if I’m the right fit Most mornings, I drop my son off at school and then head out for my own walk, so I’m typically free around 8 a.m. If your dog enjoys early outings, I’m happy to make that part of their routine, and I’m flexible for other times of day as well if you need a different schedule. I don’t offer boarding, but I take care of pets with the same attention and respect I give my own. At home, our animals are treated like family. They enjoy fresh dishes every day, litter is scooped once or twice daily, and their individual routines are honored (including sitting with our orange cat while he eats, as that’s what makes him comfortable). When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established routines, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for. Every pet has their own needs and preferences, and I’m attentive to those details so they can feel secure while their people are away.

“Kassidy was so great watching my dog while I was away for the day. Will absolutely book her again & I highly recommend her!”
