Pet Sitting Redwood Shores

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including birds, rodents, cats, and dogs of all ages. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personality traits, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience while you’re away. My friends often joke that I love animals more than people. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My primary focus is drop-in visits and house sitting, as many pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow each pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and updates while you’re away. I also offer boarding for pets who do well away from home, providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment where they’ll be treated like family.

About: What sets me apart is the combination of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, along with the level of care and attention I genuinely put into every dog I look after. I’ve worked closely with a young puppy, attending training sessions and learning how to reinforce positive behaviors and create an environment where a dog can thrive. I’m comfortable continuing training routines, maintaining structure, and helping puppies build good habits. On the other end of the spectrum, I also have experience caring for senior dogs who require extra patience and support—whether that’s assisting with mobility, following specific diets, or adapting to hearing and vision loss. I regularly dog sit for friends with very different needs, from high-energy dogs who need multiple long walks a day to older dogs who require a slower pace and more hands-on care. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once, making sure each one gets the individual attention they need. I pride myself on being adaptable and attentive, tailoring my care to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Beyond experience, what truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I treat every dog like family, not just a job. I’ve even gone out of my way on multiple occasions to help neighbors find their lost dogs and have successfully helped reunite them with their owners several times. I believe it’s our responsibility to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and encouraged—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide every time. I work full-time with a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me to plan ahead one or two weeks in advance for working on site or at home. On weekdays, I can take pups on walks in the early morning or evening, while afternoon walks can be scheduled on a week-by-week basis depending on my on-site work schedule. I’m fully available for boarding on weekends, and depending on my work schedule, I can also offer overnight boarding during the week. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each dog’s routine—whether that means early morning walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking closely to their usual schedule. If your pup is used to a 7am walk, I’m more than happy to start the day early to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that helps every dog feel at ease, whether they’re in my home or their own. In my home, I have a private, fenced backyard that’s only accessible through my apartment, so your dog can safely enjoy fresh air. It’s partially covered as well, providing some protection from rain. Inside, I keep my space clean and dog-friendly, with cushioned area rugs to prevent slipping and give dogs a comfortable place to walk, play, or relax. I also provide cozy blankets and an outdoor dog bed so they have options for resting wherever they feel most comfortable. Cleanliness and routine are very important to me—I wash food bowls after each use and refresh water bowls daily. Dogs are welcome on my furniture, but I always respect and follow your home rules to maintain consistency. If your dog isn’t allowed on furniture, I will reinforce those same boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and attentive to instructions. I carefully follow all provided routines, house rules, and notes to ensure your dog experiences as much consistency and comfort as possible while you’re away.

“Heleen took such wonderful care of our boy! This is our second time working with her, and we couldn’t be happier. It’s such a relief knowing she’s available when we travel. :) Our shy cat now knows and loves her!”

About: I grew up with a dog my whole life, a Viszla who was insanely active and needed walks all the time! I also have experience in watching cats, I fostered 2 cats for 3 months and made sure they were well taken care off! Animals deserve love and respect!! :) I am currently waiting for my field placement to be a student teacher so right now my schedule is completely available. I can stop by and feed your pets or walk them! I am able to provide pet sitting on the weekends as well! I make sure the animals are always comfortable with me first and they are fed and getting their potty breaks but also feel loved and safe!

About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通，包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.

About: I have been raising a cat for more than 8years. I have been cat sitting for friends and neighbors for the longest time as well. I have hosted doggos from friends and neighbors for 3-5 times. I am pretty flexible on weekends. For weekdays, I need to leave for work early, so the visit is preferably after 3pm. On Monday or Thursday I get home after gym sessions so it will be after 7pm I respect all animal’s own personality. I do not get close at first especially if they showed fear or stress. I check food expiration before feeding. I do not go to areas that I do not need to go. I will come by with full covered clothes in case of accidents. I will treat your baby the same way I cherish mine. My boyfriend might come with me if I am taking care of a dog to help out in case.

About: I've been around animals almost my whole life. I volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, have had cats of my own since 2013, pet sat cats and dogs for friends and family, and have had experience raising kittens as well as experience in TNR. Starting in late August I will be unable to visit your pet between 8am-12:30pm during the week as I am a part time preschool teacher. However, I can spend all weekend taking care of your pet. Even though I am working part time, I am more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your pet when you're not able to so they have company until you return home! As a life long animal lover, I understand pets are more than just an animal, but they're part of the family. I take time to get to know each pet and will do all I can to ensure that they are always safe in my care, whether during a walk or pet sitting in your home.

About: I’ve always been someone who naturally loves being around animals. I grew up with two dogs in my family and later had my own cat, who was a huge part of my life. What I love most about pets is how they give back even more love when you show them love. Their pure trust, kindness, and affection mean so much to me. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I understand that every pet is different—some want lots of attention and playtime, while others prefer their own space and a calm companion. As a pet owner, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your loved one at home, and I want to help ease that worry. While I may not be the most professional sitter, I can guarantee that I will treat your pet the same way I would want my own to be treated—with patience, care, and genuine love. Your baby will definitely be in good hands with me. I work part-time as a project manager, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to spend with your pet and give them the attention they deserve. I have a yard for curious pets to explore, and I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood where almost every family seems to have a cat or dog! There are also nearby trails where I can take your dog for a run if they’re energetic, or simply enjoy a relaxing walk at their own pace. I currently don’t have any pets or kids at home, so my home is a quiet and comfortable space, especially for pets who may need a little extra time to adjust. Cats and dogs are absolutely welcome on the furniture and, of course, cuddles are always welcome! ❤️ I want your pet to feel at home and will treat them with the same care and love I would want for my own.

“Pouneh is awesome. She sent pictures of my cat when she got here and pics of other things I asked for. My cat likes her and I felt comfortable with her being in my home. She really loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone that likes attention to detail and most importantly wants great care for your animal.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I’ve owned multiple dogs my whole life and they are my favorite animals. My neighbors and friends trust me to take care of their pets when they are away. I’m currently working a very flexible part time job, so I have plenty of time to hangout and take care of my dog and other dogs. I am also very athletic and am always going on runs with my dog. I have a medium sized fenced in backyard and a 6 year old playful lab to keep your pup company. The bay trail is right behind my house so taking the dogs on walks is super safe!
