Pet Sitting in Plaskett

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. At age 4 I fostered an abandoned litter of kittens. Since then I’ve cared for nearly every type of pet you can think of. I grew up off-the-grid in the heart of the national forest in Big Sur with limited electricity & no WiFi or cell service. I always had a dog companion & took it upon myself to do all the care for our family animals. At 13, friends and friends of friends hired me to housesit & care for their animals. Since then I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, goats, chickens, parrots, horses, and more! I competed as a NCAA D1 athlete at UCLA & am returning back to the Bay Area after nearly a year of international adventures. I’m making a career switch from public health & health equity to working as a performance coach at a specialized strength & rehabilitation studio in SF. I’m new to Rover but can offer references if needed. Available to housesit through January. Work a job with flexible hours where I can come back to check on pets. Available during the week & weekend. For housesitting services, i can provide care for animals (basic services plus special requests), garbage disposal, mail collection, plant upkeep, etc. Will follow instructions offered by pet parent. If dog and owner are comfortable, would love to take on long hikes or the beach! I am not offering boarding services at this time.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. We are caretakers of all creatures, great and small. I've had all sorts of pets including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, birds, even an opossum! I love all animals. It's my belief that my purpose on earth is to care for animals in any way I can. I rescue abandoned or injured animals on a regular basis. I live in a rural area so I often try to save wildlife when I come across them. I've been a Pet sitter on the Central Coast for over 10 years. I also volunteer for Woods humane society. I treat my clients as I would want to be treated. So I will text you pics of your pets while you're away to help set your mind as ease. I've been lucky to be able to work from home for the past two years due to the pandemic. So I can basically stay with your babies 24/7. My goal when staying in a client's home is to leave no trace of my stay when I leave....except happy and healthy pets! I bring my own bedding and food so you don't need to do anything for me. I am lucky enough to be able to work from home. Which means I can work from your home as well. I'm pretty much a homebody. While petsitting, I will stay at your home most of the time, only leaving occasionally to go home to check on things, depending on the length of the petsit. While caring for your pets, I prefer to have written instructions which tell me when to feed them, how much and where the food is kept or where they are fed. (Sometimes dogs are fed in separate areas, etc.) And all other things I should do whether it be taking in mail or putting out garbage, etc.

“Edina was great! She really took the time to care for my cat, who is quite a scaredy cat! Thank you!”

“Jennifer helped with walking and feeding our pug, Winnie, a couple times during a day when we were away. She was extremely responsive and eager to understand Winnie's personality and preferences. Jennifer stayed in touch so we knew when she was there and how Winnie had responded. It was very reassuring to have such an enthusiastic and concerned caregiver helping with Winnie while we were away. We will definitely plan to contact Jennifer the next time we need some help!”

About: Hi Im Rachel! I love animals of all kinds and am excited to have fun with your pet! I worked in a vet clinic for 6 months and have had dogs my whole life, ranging from huskies, shepherds, labs to chihuahuas. I will run bike or skate with your dog as well as cuddle haha. I have also had many cats and love pets of all sorts. Just let me know what your animal needs and I will do my best to make your them happy! I'm available most weekdays, and certain scheduled weekends. I'm able to pet sit if needed or free for just a quick walk to get out of the house. Thank you for your time! I look forward to getting the chance to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care allows me the flexibility to commit when I have a client and invest myself fully while also providing me with the freedom to pursue my other career goals. I live within walking distance to beautiful, large parks, beaches, and trails in the mountains great for hiking. I live in a tucked away neighborhood with good access to nature.
