House Sitting Riviera

“Cheryl did a great job with my pup. He received multiple walks a day, kept healthy and looked happy in the photos that she sent daily. She instantly hit it off with my pup at the meet up and made it so much easier for me to be away. Definitely recommend her and would book her again.”

About: I took care of my childhood dog since I was 13, and that was for around 4 years. I am open to learning new things in order for your dog to be happy. I’m planning on getting a part time job, so I’ll have more than enough time in the mornings and late afternoon to take care of your cutie! I will always make sure to follow client-specific rules for their pets in order to keep fur babies safe and comfortable during our time together.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember! 🐾 I’ve had dogs since I was about 6 years old, and growing up, my sisters and I always had a fur baby (or two… or five!) to love. 🩷 I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been a huge part of my life—from dogs and guinea pigs to bunnies, birds, goats, and chickens! I truly love being around animals and getting to know all their different personalities. Your fur baby will be treated like family while they’re with me—with lots of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and plenty of cuddles (if they’re into that 😉). My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶💕 I work from home Monday through Friday, which gives me plenty of flexibility to give your fur baby the attention, love, and care they deserve! 🐾 I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles, while still being around to keep them company. I love having animals around while I work, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day! 🩷 I have a sweet 11-month-old puppy named Aria who loves making new friends! 🐶💕 She enjoys playing with other dogs and would be happy to have some company, but I always make sure each dog is comfortable and gets the space and attention they need. I also have an extra-large crate available if your pup is crate-trained or needs some quiet time, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine and your instructions

About: I have been around animals my entire life, and have professional experience working with dogs. I take a patient, educational approach to animal care and training, and believe building trust is an important first step. I have currently have a very flexible schedule, and I'm happy to work with you to ensure I'm meeting the needs of your pet. Please let me know what your expectation is in regards to frequency of walks, play time, or other enrichment activities. I have taken care of both cats and dogs in clients' homes, and am flexible when it comes to a pet's needs. Whether your young pup needs some play time, or your older dog needs meds and a slow wander through the neighborhood, I'm happy to join them on their adventures.

“Hannah was outstanding. Our schedule changed slightly at last moment and Hannah changed her schedule to accommodate and arrive to our home and be with Harley soon after we had to leave. Hannah kept us up to date and posted lots of photos of our beloved Dog Harley as well as all the walks and loving she provided. We came home to Happy puppy and very clean home. Hannah was awesome and we look forward to having her sit with our dog again in the future.”

“We SO enjoyed having Deborah watch our home and take care of our dog. Charlie was genuinely happy when we got home - not just happy that we're home. This isn't always the case when someone new stays, so this is huge. Our house was left in perfect shape, and Deborah was great with communication and updates. We will absolutely look forward to using her again.”

“Caitlin is amazing! We have been searching for a dog sitter for a while for our two mini dachshunds and she did so well with them. We really appreciate all of the photo, videos and updates she sent. She even cleaned up around our house and the yard which was so sweet :) Thank you so much for taking such good care of our boys!!”

About: I grew up with pets of all kinds in my house. We currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat, and my step dad is a dog trainer so I have a bit of knowledge regarding that subject as well. I am experienced in walking, bath, and play time with all sorts of animals, not just cats and dogs. I have experience with horses, tortoises, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs etc. Starting in January 2026 I will be a student at Cal Poly majoring in chemistry! I have class for 4 hours Monday-Wednesday and Friday. I teach dance classes for 1-3 hours Tuesday-Wednesday evenings. My weekends are completely available! I am firm in my idea that animals need lots of attention, exercise and play time. I will listen to what your pet tells me they need whether it’s a cuddle, a walk, or a potty break!

“Anela was very kind and nice to Cleo. She did a really good job with her!”

“Kendall did great with Yuna. Showed up on time, gave updates, and kept her active. I appreciate her quick response and being reliable. I’ll be using her month too for a couple days while I’m away on a trip.”

About: I have over 25 years of pet and house sitting experience. I love the company of dogs and cats; caring for your pets is truly a gift that keeps on giving. My approach is clear, kind and communicative with both pet and their owners. I take the time to get to know your pets prior to sits whenever possible. I am comfortable staying over night in homes of varying sizes, including large estates, and happy to discuss additional tasks such as: collecting mail, taking out garbage, managing home deliveries, and /or attending to gardeners and repairmen. I appreciate the need for trust and confidence with all my clients and make it point to leave every home I caretake clean, tidy and positive throughout my stay and upon departure. I've been custodian of dogs and cats ranging from 1+-21 years in age who need oral and topical medications and have experience handling pet emergencies. I'm an outdoor enthusiast, so enjoy taking your dog (s) on hikes and to dog parks if this is something your pup enjoys as well! I live a healthy, positive lifestyle- do not drink, smoke, or use recreational drugs; an early to bed early to rise schedule. I have been practicing and facilitating meditation and mindfulness, as well as working privately in the field of psychology and the healing and creative arts for 30 years. It is my heart felt intention to create a loving, peaceful and healthy home environment for your pets, so you can relax and enjoy your time elsewhere with peace of mind. I presently work for myself at home via zoom and privately with local clients in their homes, so my schedule is more flexible and accommodating. I'm an active person, love being outdoors, while mostly enjoying quiet evenings at home. The company of animals is just icing on the cake whether I'm working from home during the day or relaxing in the evening with them. I like to meet pets and their owners first when possible, so they can get to know me before beginning a sit. This visit is free of charge. My intention is to support (your pets') home routine as much as possible to ensure they feel safe, loved, and looked after in absence of their owners. I'm very respectful of owners property, clarify boundaries, needs and expectations up front with owners before we enter into an agreement. When issues, emergencies, and/or important questions arise, I alert home/pet owners ASAP to discuss possible options; I've handled pet and home emergencies throughout my years of care.

“Katherine was so amazing with our elderly Pug for his first time with a sitter. Im so happy we picked Kat for his new friend! She went above and beyond with his care including snuggles, outside time, and plenty of photos to show us he was having a good time. When we are vacationing in the area we will definitely reach out again! Truly, above and beyond any and all expectation.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have a natural knack for connecting with them. I grew up with dogs, cats, the occasional rodent and I have previously pet-sit and dog walked for friends. I have had pets of all ages and am comfortable administering meds if needed. I have a very open and flexible schedule, though I occasionally teach scuba diving on the weekends. Because my hours vary, please check my Rover calendar to confirm availability. Because I provide care directly in your home and neighborhood, your pet's safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. • Home & Leash Safety: I always double-check that doors, windows, and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving your home. When we are out on a walk, your dog will remain securely leashed at all times, and I maintain a high awareness of our surroundings to avoid any stressful interactions with other animals or traffic. • Constant Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos from our walks or drop-in visits so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. • Emergency Preparedness: Before our first booking, we will complete a Meet & Greet to review your pet’s exact routine. I will ask for your primary vet's details, emergency contacts, and clear instructions for your pet’s specific medication schedules if required.

About: I have 2 years of hands-on dog care, regularly watching a large Golden Retriever and a medium Chihuahua–Dachshund mix. I’m comfortable with strong pullers and high-energy pups, and I’m just as gentle with small dogs. I follow your routines for meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime, and I send clear updates with photos after each visit. Safety and calm handling are my priorities—I keep leashes secure, monitor weather and hydration, and tidy up after outdoor fun. I can help with brushing and basic cues like sit/stay/leave-it. Your dog will get patient, reliable care and lots of affection every time. I work fully remote, so I’m home and attentive most of the day. I pop out once daily for the gym (about an hour) and plan visits around it. I’m available for morning, lunchtime, and evening walks/check-ins, plus overnight house sitting when needed. Weekends are open. Your pup’s meals, potty breaks, and playtime fit naturally into my routine, and I send quick updates so you always know how they’re doing. I follow your dog’s routine exactly—feeding, meds, crate, and house rules. I double-check doors and gates, keep dogs leashed unless you’ve approved a secure fenced area, and handle both strong pullers (Golden Retriever) and small dogs (Chiweenie) with calm, confident control. I monitor heat/cold, carry water, wipe paws, clean bowls, and tidy up before I leave. Home stays locked and secure, and you’ll get clear photo updates every visit.

“Christopher was very accommodating, friendly, and did a great job taking care of all my animals.”

About: My entire life I have been surrounded by the best furry family. We had well trained, obedient and incredibly kind dogs growing up. I wished upon a star at 10 years old and voila, I got my first golden retriever puppy as a present a few weeks later. Duke Skywalker was my first big responsibility, from working on potty training to letting him off leash on hikes and on the beach. He trusted me and I trusted him. During the pandemic, he was getting older and I did what I could to help him feel comfortable and loved. Even when he wasn’t able to walk, I’d place him in the back of the car and just sit with him watching the waves cuddled up with blankets. Must have patience with the older pups, and I loved every minute. I have trained my family’s adopted pups and they caught on fast. My roommate has a cat who I help care and train for when she is out of town for work, who knew training a cat actually works. Persistence, love and patience is key! I’m currently in between jobs, figuring out if I want a career switch. I have been wanting to surround myself with pets and helping anyone who needs it. I understand not having as much time as one would like, therefore happy to lend a hand in helping walk, feed, sit, even cuddle if your pet allows. I have a big space in my home and love to go outside and enjoy the fresh air, especially if it’s along the beach on a sunny day. In a client’s home, I would play with my new furry friend in the yard if they have or research nearby safe dog parks, or parks to walk with them to. And if the dogs or cats allow, always up for cuddles when sitting on the couch ‘Netflix & chilling’!
