House Sitting Research Park

“Michelle was awesome! She took such good care of our dogs while we were out of town. The updates she provides are great and made me feel so much more comfortable on our trip knowing how dogs were doing. 10/10 would recommend.”

Anna G.

“Caroline took wonderful care of our older golden at our house for the past couple days. We came home to a very happy pup and a clean house! Can’t ask for more than that!”

Susan S.

“Sahba absolutely came to our rescue when a previously booked sitter canceled on us at the very last minute. Despite the short notice, he arrived promptly and immediately put our minds at ease. He watched our home for several nights and took wonderful care of our two cats and our high-strung little dog. Anyone with a nervous pup knows how important the right energy is, and Sahba handled her perfectly. We really appreciated his communication throughout the stay; he sent regular updates and photos, which allowed us to actually relax knowing everyone was in good hands. We highly recommend Sahba for anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be calling him again!”

“I loved working with Alla. We have a very senior dog who needs extra love and care in his old age and she did a wonderful job watching him while we were out of town. Alla sent frequent updates and photos and gave me peace of mind that he was in good hands. I would definitely work with her again!”

Krystal V.

“Amyra and James saved us today by agreeing to come at the last minute when our scheduled sitter got sick. They always take such great care of Kaly!”

Erin M.

“Ivana was great with Copper and Ozzy! She took excellent care of them for the week and sent tons of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. They were happy and well cared for when I got back. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart is the combination of meticulous, individualized care and real experience with reactive dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I’m attentive to the little details that help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I also love getting dogs outside for plenty of enrichment, whether that’s exploring the Back Bay, enjoying nature, going on walks, or simply having a fun adventure at their own pace. My goal is for every dog to have a safe, attentive environment and feel like they’re on their own little vacation. I work full time from home in OC, California. I have a fairly good size apartment and a large patio (almost small yard size) with access to lots of walking trails immediately behind my home. Your dog will be cared for as if they were my own Juno boy. I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to pet care, and safety is always my highest priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, quirks, and comfort level so I can provide truly individualized care rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. In my home, I have a crate-trained dog and several separate rooms, along with gates that allow me to safely manage different spaces. This means I can comfortably accommodate more sensitive, shy, reactive, or simply more independent dogs who may need their own space or gradual introductions. I’m very mindful of interactions between pets and never assume that every dog wants the same level of socialization. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I’m attentive to their environment, behavior, and wellbeing throughout the day. I want you to feel completely confident that your pet is not only getting plenty of love and attention, but is being cared for thoughtfully, safely, and responsibly while you’re away.

About: I have a farm in Costa Rica and I love animals. I live in Costa Rica and Cali taking care of American akitas. I live to walk dogs. I’m semi retired and need something to do and keep me moving. And extra cash is nice. I’m very patient and honest and to the point. I like to walk and I enjoy dogs company. I will make sure they get the exercise and attention they need to be a happy dog and tired.

“Abigail was fantastic! Scoobie fell in love with her! She was attentive to his needs and gave him tons of loving and affection. She stayed in our home and was very respectful in keeping everything picked up and clean, while still making herself comfortable with Scoobie. We were very comfortable and relaxed knowing that Scoobie was in good hands as she was great about communicating with us and sending pictures. We definitely are using her again!!!”

“Garrett took great care of my dogs while I was on a day trip with my family. He was available at short notice and communicated during the day and sent lots of pics of the dogs out in walks and relaxing. My elderly dog wally is on heart medication and he ensured he received the meds with dinner along with feeding my other dogs.”

Phillip M.

“I had a great experience with Kelli and would recommend her! She stayed overnight at my apartment for about a week to watch my cats, and everything went well. One of my cats needs medicine twice daily, which is scary for any pet parent, and Kelli handled the meds, my cat is fine and safe. Thanks Kelli, you are great!”

Amelia T.

“I cannot say enough nice things about our experience with Silvia. My dog absolutely loves her and she did a wonderful job dog sitting and house sitting while we were away. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have had multiple dogs/cats/horses at a time my whole life. I’ve cared for horses, sick dogs, well dogs, played with adorable puppies, and am extremely responsible. My schedule is verily flexible! I can move around just about anything to fit your pets needs. If there was some type of emergency, I could be there anytime. My personal dogs get walked 2x a day by me, fed 2x a day and get lots of love! Feeding, cleaning, playtime, and walks are all things I would be happy to provide.

About: I’ve cared for my Pembroke Welsh Corgi since he was 10 weeks old, and he is now almost 5. I enrolled him in puppy classes, established a consistent daily routine, and have always stayed on top of his veterinary care, vaccinations, checkups, grooming, exercise, and enrichment. Raising him from puppyhood taught me how much patience, consistency, attention, and affection dogs need. I can reinforce certain tricks if requested, and administer oral medication. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. (Please note that dogs over 40 pounds must have good leash manners for me to safely care for them) I maintain a highly flexible schedule, so i’m readily available for midday walks and drop-in visits, boarding, and house sitting. I can easily accommodate last-minute, same-day appointments. I plan my day around each dog’s usual feeding, potty, walking, medication, and bedtime routine. During boarding or house sitting, dogs may be left alone for up to three hours at a time, depending on their individual needs. Please let me know if your dog requires more frequent supervision before booking. I live with my boyfriend and our Pembroke Welsh Corgi in an apartment with a large patio. Guest dogs are welcome on our furniture and beds, and I do my best to make them feel like part of the family. Dogs are always supervised while using the patio. For boarding, I require a meet-and-greet with my Corgi so we can make sure the dogs are comfortable together. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep dogs leashed outside, monitor interactions, and maintain their established routines. When house sitting or completing drop-in visits, I will treat your home respectfully and make sure it is secured when I leave. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates.

“Naari me dio mucha paz de que mi perrita estaba llena de amor y atención. La comunicación fue muy receptiva y constantemente me mando fotos y videos en los cuales extra mega confirme que mi Bali estaba en excelentes manos. Se nota que Naari tiene una personalidad y energía que hace sentir comodx a los perritos. 100% la tendré como mi pet nanny oficial cada que parto de viaje.”

“Hannah is amazing! She’s super communicative and sent multiple daily updates. She showed so much attention and care to our chihuahua puppy-even taking him to a family event of hers so our puppy wasn’t ever alone. When our flight home was delayed, she took extra effort to make sure we were on the flight home before she left. I’d hire her again in a heart beat.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities . I provide dependable, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed) and lots of affection. I understand the importance of keeping owners updated, so I send regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and a positive experience for every pet in my care. I’m available for overnight stays on weekends, and weekdays after 3:00pm, so I will have plenty of time to spend with pups! Walks, check-ins etc. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and special needs so they feel secure and cared for in the comfort of their own home. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other routines to keep their day consistent. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay aware of our surroundings, and always prioritize safety. I also treat your home with respect, keeping it clean and secure while you’re away. You’ll receive regular photo and text updates for peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in caring hands.

“Aaleah was wonderful. Her calm demeanor was exactly what my pups needed and are usually drawn to so she was a perfect fit staying at our house for a few days.”

About: For many years, I’ve taken care of pets for clients, friends, and family. I love hanging out with animals, and enjoying the unique personalities of each pet! My daily schedule is very flexible, so I am often able to make availability any time you need. Available for daily drop-in care, or overnight care in your home. I will take care of your pet however you see fit, according to your preferences. I unfortunately do not provide care in my own home, as my cat has made it clear she prefers the home to herself.

“Serena was amazing – super communicative and sent a ton of photos. My dog Millie had the best time with her and will certainly rebook for future house sitting needs.”
