House Sitting Rancho San Rafael

About: Full disclosure, candor, your vocabulary word of choice. Hello, I’m André. I’m a 30y/o Los Angeles pet dad, looking for a nice side gig as well as a way to Connect & edify myself with pet-care & social skills going to forward. Primarily with the animals, yet as well built communicative skills with individuals. -Cheers, André. ✌🏽 Currently I am self-employed. Be that as it may, I have quite the open/flexible schedule. Adherence to any fitted schedule isn’t necessary. Unless communicated prior, scheduling shouldn’t ever be an issue of concern. I’ve been surrounded by, and lived with and have familial pets all throughout my life, but I’ve only recently become a pet father myself as of eight months ago. Actions I take in my home to cater to, and care for my pets include the following: -Thorough research on how to continue to better myself as a parent towards my pets. -Patience becoming more and more a virtue 😅 ha. -Repetition -Understanding Acts of discipline, or constructive experiences to better the bond between myself and my pets, are dismal. Redirection, and communication with the pets consistently build the bond. Consistent, and I mean consistent playtime, proper feeding schedule, toys…I’ve built quite the furniture shop for my cats. Lastly just love them, damn. 😁

“Wow! Pixie went “above and beyond” in caring for my Cookie who has separation anxiety. I was so worried leaving her, not knowing how she would handle this 3 day break. But with Pixie spoiling her and sending me multiple videos I was able to relax and enjoy my weekend. Book with Pixie! Your pet will thank you. Not only is Pixie energetic and loving, she knows a lot about dogs and how to care for even a spoiled pup.”

“We’ve been utilizing Jennifer to housesit and watch our dogs while we’re out of town for years! Between a high energy German Shepard and fragile old Chihuahua mix, she manages to provide for both with ease and lots of love and they seem so happy and at peace when we return. Shes a great communicator and keeps our house looking just like we left it. I highly recommend Jennifer for any and all ages, breeds, needs.”

“Bethany was fantastic! Very communicative and checked in with us throughout her stay. She sent lots of photos and clearly gave our dog lots of attention. She took great care of the house as well. We will definitely have her dog sit again!”

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for 3 years, and honestly, I just really love dogs! 🐶 I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, with most of my experience being with bigger dogs. I’ve looked after two Huskies at once, a Standard Poodle, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and senior dogs. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso and was lucky enough to care for him myself during his senior years, so I understand how much extra patience, love, and attention older pups can need. I’m also very active and genuinely love going for walks. I average at least 10,000 steps a day, so if your dog loves a good walk, we’re probably going to be best friends! I’m very comfortable staying in other people’s homes and actually enjoy helping dogs stay in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep your pup happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and, of course, lots of love! I work part time remotely with lots of flexibility and can bring my laptop anywhere. I don’t not have a partner or children so I can dedicated the proper time to looking after your pet! I will ensure that gates and doors are locked. The dog is on leash whenever we leave and to avoid other dogs and people if necessary. I will stick to your wishes on how you want your pet looked after.

“Sarah and David are my pup's main walkers and sitters and have been lifesavers for me over the past few years. My dog Penny is a sweetie but also big and not always easy to watch or walk. Sarah and David have done so happily and even taught her how to use a gentle leader leash. I appreciate them a lot!”

“Cody was wonderful! He followed all of our specific house-sitting and pet care instructions perfectly.

Highly recommend Cody — we’d absolutely book him again!”
