House Sitting in Ross

“Kathryn was wonderful! She took excellent care of our pup, giving him lots of love and attention, and keeping us updated with sweet photos and text messages. We already have her booked for our next weekend away.”

“Connor did an outstanding job with my puppy JJ! He’s a handful at this age. Connor took it all in stride. My boy really liked him too! When he was leaving JJ was conflicted over who to stay with. Each day when Connor came JJ was excited to see him. Speaks volumes of how well he treated my boy. Thanks Connor!!!”

“Andy was great with our dog Maia. This is the third time Andy has watched Maia and she was super happy when we got home. We’ll definitely have Andy house sit again!”

About: Hi! I have always loved animals. I have had dogs my entire life since we adopted my first dog, a black lab, from the humane society when I was 5. I have also volunteered at the humane society for many years on a regular basis. I am home full time right now and my priority is giving the animals I look after the best possible care and of course lots of love! I just want them to be happy and comfortable with me. Reach out with any questions you may have. This is my main job at the moment and I have a very flexible schedule during the week. I have a 4 year old daughter with me 50% of the time and she is a sweet, gentle, fun lover of animals and the outdoors too. I have no pets myself right now so I have a lot of time and energy to care for your dogs and cats. I have cared for many of my own pets, and they lived happy, long lives. With me, you have a trustworthy, competent, and caring animal lover. My number one priority is making sure your pet is happy and safe while at home or out on an adventure.

“Leyla was great with Mila and sent a lot of pics. For sure we will ask help again from her.”

About: I understand what it’s like to leave your pet alone with a stranger and I will make sure it is as if you never left! I am available weekday afternoons and some weekends. Monday, Wed, Friday after 3pm and T Th at 5pm. On weekends, I just need a week heads up! I like to make sure the pet feels loved and safe first and foremost and I make sure to keep great communication with the client! I am very adamant on making sure all the necessary tasks are completed as well.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs and cats for many years. I love taking dogs on walks that are just the right pace and distance for them. I mostly work from home and can adjust my schedule as needed most of the time. Morning and evening walks are ideal during the Summer months as it can get hot for both the dog and me. I make sure the pet has clean water, clean food bowls, food portioned and prepared as directed. I like to sit with the pet or walk the dog and talk to them in an encouraging tone.

“Mari was a wonderful dog sitter for our two dogs. She obviously loves animals and our dogs loved her. When we returned after a week our dogs were content and happy. I don’t think they missed us! I could see they had been well cared for and she left our house very clean. She sent photos and texts daily. She is kind and loving and we will be booking her whenever we go away!”

About: I grew up with dogs and love all breeds. I spent my youth volunteering at a doggy day care and always loved the movie "Best in Show". I've researched and spent time with many diverse breeds with a unique understanding of their various temperaments and requirements. I have training skills and patience to give your pal the attention and love they deserve while you're away. I currently work part-time remotely on my own business as an astrologer. I am able to be very present and attentive while in your home. I make sure to learn all you and your pet's preferences for expectations (like if they are allowed on furniture, or how they are with other dog's / social time). I provide daily check ins so you have peace of mind that all is well.

“Pat, you are wonderful! Thank you for caring for our kitty and sending us photo updates- knowing you were with her made us able to be away without worrying. Thanks again!”

“Krystle treated my 15 yr+ baby with love and care. She was kind enough to meet us ahead of the scheduled time to see if we agreed it would be a good fit long term. She left my place tidy and took great care of my sweet girl. Next time we will try a longer stay to see how she does. It was great having someone who understands the needs of senior pups.”

About: While I did not grow up with pets in my own home, I made sure everyone else in my life that had pets knew that I was ready and willing to care for theirs. I officially began pet sitting in high school for friends, neighbors, and my parents coworkers. Once in college I studied animal behavior and took classes in training, animal care, and basic medication administration. Since graduating college I have worked part time at a pet hotel, taken an internship at an exotic and wild animal sanctuary, and currently work full time at a service dog training facility. Through all these experiences I am confident that I am able to provide excellent care for your furry family member, no matter the breed, species, age, medical needs, or any other unique qualities your animal may have. As I work full time, my availability is mostly reserved for early evenings and around lunch time for walks and quick check ins. However, I can provide overnight pet sitting care any day of the week, so if you need to be away from the home for a few days I will be happy to love and care for your pet during that time. My profile picture is of me and my personal dog that I got in high school, and since he was the first pet I owned, I was a bit of a helicopter mom. I value routine, structure, and ample communication from pet sitters for my own dog, so I always provide the same for others. If you are the the type of parent that has a document printed of all your dogs needs, I will follow it to a T. On the other hand if you just want someone to cuddle your fur baby and feed them twice a day, I am also your gal! Your pet is one if the most important members of your family, and I promise to treat them and your home with the upmost respect and care (as if they were both my own). Thank you for trusting me!

“Joshua was a great communicator and very flexible to help us care for our dog Charlie. He was patient and able to specialize his care for Charlie! He also sent us updates and pictures of Charlie which we greatly appreciated :) thank you!”

“Parke stayed over the holiday break and was a thoughtful and engaged house and pet sitter for my two dogs Oreo (9) and Apollo (1) along with cat Amelia. His care and communication were incredible, I am so grateful to have found him on Rover. I look forward to having him stay again in the future. Thank you Parke!”

About: As a passionate animal lover, what sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of and commitment to the well-being of pets. Additionally, I have a special affinity for senior pets, ensuring they receive the gentle care and attention they need. My skills also include recognizing and responding to different temperaments and health needs, creating a comfortable and safe environment for all pets in my care. Whether it's administering medication, providing extra cuddles, or tailoring activities based on their age and energy levels, I prioritize their happiness and health above all. Your furry family members will be in loving hands with me! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. And this is the job I chose to make a living from. I love it very much Caring for pets in a home, whether it's your own or a client's, involves several key responsibilities that can vary depending on the type of service offered. Here are some general practices: Feeding: Ensure pets are fed a balanced diet appropriate for their age, size, and dietary restrictions. This may include providing fresh water and following specific feeding schedules. Exercise: Provide regular physical activity based on the pet's needs, which may involve walks, playtime, or engaging in activities that stimulate them mentally and physically. Grooming: Regular grooming is essential, including brushing fur, trimming nails, and maintaining hygiene to keep pets comfortable and healthy. Health Care: Monitor for any signs of illness, provide medication as needed, and keep up with veterinary appointments for vaccinations and check-ups. Safety: Create a safe environment by removing hazards (like toxic plants or small objects) and ensuring the pet has secure access to appropriate spaces.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was a middle schooler. Between my family dogs and dogs who have lived in my home since then I have been responsible for at least 7 dogs, of all shapes, sizes and demeanors. I've kept moody Dachshunds, energetic Shelties, even tempered Retrievers and even rescue Pitbulls. I love hiking and getting outdoors, and bringing a canine friend along. I currently have one dog of my own, a peppy rescue mix, and he is my best friend I am available to dog/house sit very regularly. I am an ecological land designer working most days from home with the exception of days where I need to do a site visit or connect with my team in person. I can pretty much work from anywhere with a good internet connection, so most days would be able to be around in case your dog needs more frequent walks or attention. In addition to dogs I love other pets and plants! If you have house plants, a veggie garden or other plants that need some watering or attention while you're away I'll be able to help in the department as well! I work from home most days, so I am able to be flexible around a pets needs regarding feeding, walks, and medication. Ocassionally I do have to leave home for work, and that is typically up to 4 hours. We have one dog at home and since we don't have a yard, we typically take him up on the ridge to walk, or to the Red hill Dog park or San Quentin beach. These are great places to have some fun exercise

About: Hi! I’m Ruby, a dependable and attentive pet sitter with nearly a year of experience at doggie daycare Camp K-9. I ensure every animal receives proper care, love, and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, check-ins, and quality time, ensuring each pet receives consistent attention, proper care, and dependable service. I have a fully fenced yard and two senior English Bulldogs who are calm, relaxed, and friendly with other dogs. I’m happy to care for pets in my home or stay in clients’ homes, always following routines and care instructions closely.

“Jackie watched my two frenchies and my house while I was away on a long weekend trip to the east coast. She was extremely professional, communicative, and my dogs loved having her stay. They also loved having a new buddy Finley, her gentle beagle to hang out with ! She took fantastic care of my house as well, even going the extra mile to wash sheets, dishes and I came home to a clean house and happy dogs !”

Walk and visit dogs of my friends and neighbors and am very responsible for the well being of the pet. I have gone and bought food for the pet if there was not enough at the house while the owners are on a trip. I am working part time and will be happy to care for your pet!

I will greet the pet when I arrive. Will play for a short time. Will see if the pet is thirsty or hungry. Will take water and a bowl with me and we will go on a walk that the pet is familiar with. Will clean up after the pet and throw it h away. Will take time to go to a dog park or let the pet socialize with other pets. Will walk the pet back home and make sure to give the pet treats, alot of stroking and praising the pet. I enjoy caring for the pet.
