House Sitting in Running Springs

About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. I grew up with many cats (currently have 5) and a super loving golden retriever. Ever since I was 12, my neighbors and family friends have trusted me to watch their pets. Now that I'm away from home, I love any opportunity to spend time with animals. I can assure you your pets will be well taken care of and in loving hands with me!! I'm currently self-employed, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can house-sit or stop in for as long as you need any days/times of the week! I have watched many pets over the years. If you have a specific routine with your pet, I will easily be able to adapt to it so that your pet can stay in routine!

“Elma took care of our dog Chlodwig while we were at our daughter's wedding. She was great with him and took him on several walks and sent cute photos. We were able to enjoy the evening knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely choose Elma again.”

“Celeste was great! She came early and did a wonderful job. The dogs loved her and took to her quickly which was a huge bonus. She gave update and cute photos and was so easy to work with. I’d love to have her watch our dogs again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 7 years as well as fostering when I can. Your dogs will be treated like my own! Both neighbors & family members have offered me the chance to pet sit before anyone else because they knew their dogs were not only taken care of, but loved. There have been occasions when I could not pet sit & they moved around their vacation days just to have me over. They know my experience with dogs goes beyond my own & extends out to strays & for that reason, they trust in my ability to care & love for their animal friends. I’m very willing to bathe, give special care, run errands if necessary for the pet & tend to special instructions left to ensure the pets safety & well being. I take care of my three dogs on a daily basis from morning to night from feeding, timed medications, walks, backyard time & cuddles to their hearts content! It’s a must to understand all the rules & boundaries with pets & their owners. One of my own dogs has medications that cannot be missed & I have also watched after other dogs who have special dietary restrictions & have medications that need to be taken on time. In my experience, special care comes with frequent bathroom breaks, more love & attention, & a watchful eye. These are some of the things I’ve taken on while watching dogs/pets.

“Jason was great! He came by 2xs to meet the dogs before the weekend he was hired. The dogs loved him and he kept us notified through the entire weekend with texts and pics on how they were doing.”

“Ryan stayed at our home for 3 days watching over our furry family. Ryan was amazing in his care of my 4- legged friends, Sir Winston is a 180 lb Newfoundland who thinks he is a lap dog and our little girl Lilly is extremely needy. Ryan took amazing care of our little ones - he sent pictures every day, communicated via email and phone and generally set our minds at ease while we were out of town. I couldn't ask for a better caretaker of my 4 legged friends. Ryan is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. He gave 5 star treatment. I will definitely be requesting his services in the future. Thank you from Winston and Lilly”

About: I’ve taken care of large and small breed dogs and house sat for multiple families, I am more than willing to walk, bathe, feed, and groom pets! I also have experience administering medication (ointments&pills) to elderly pets. I’m not squeamish and would love how to accommodate your pet accordingly wether that is preparing a special diet or administering an injection. I am currently studying psychology at UCSC and will be home for summer break July-early September. My schedule is extremely flexible during that time frame! I absolutely adore animals and have two small shih-tzu mixes as well as a larger hound dog. My grandparents previously owned a Eurasier that I would help groom, trim, and walk all the way until he unfortunately developed cancer when he was around 8 years old. Unfortunately he passed while I was in my first quarter but before I left I helped make him as comfortable as possible and made sure that he was getting all the medication he needed and would even lift him on/off our couches.

“She was absolutely amazing 😍 will definitely be booking her again.”

“Johnathan was on time, did everything we asked him to do, and took excellent care of our dogs. Couldn't be happier with the service he provided.”

“Our shy and anxious puppy just adored Alyssa! He usually takes a long time to warm up to people, but became fast friends with her! We felt comfortable with her dog sitting in our house for 4 days, and will definitely book her again for our next trip.”

Brittany W.

“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Elaine. This was our first time leaving our boy, but because it was a necessary business trip, we had to go. Elaine set our minds at ease the minute we met her, and Gunner took to her right away. Our shy kitty even made several appearances (which is amazing in itself!) We got several pictures and updates everyday. Our home was well cared for as well. To all the world, we say thank you Elaine for taking such great care of our fur babies! You are incredible and we will definitely use you again and highly recommend you to others”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, from newborn to senior I have cared for them all. Caring for animals is truly fulfilling. I work full time but I am available from Friday 5pm to Monday night. My dog is crate trained and she’s a tiny little lady so she won’t be a problem. I wouldn’t leave either my dog nor yours alone until I have verified they can play amicably. I live in a nice area where dog walking is common and there’s plenty of grass for long walks if needed

“Ileanna was an amazing sitter! She was very patient with our two large dogs. She followed all of our instructions to the teeth and my dogs loved her. We would love to have her sit our dogs again!”

“Another great stay with Kristy! Molly got A LOT of exercise with her. When we got back, I think Molly was disappointed it wasn't Kristy walking in the door.”

Drew A.

“Amazing as always! She is so sweet and very attentive to the furballs. Very great with sending updates and pictures as well. We will definitely be using her again. All the babies love her!”

About: Hello my furry friend lovers!! I have cared for many different kinds of animals in my life, some of which include dogs,cats,birds,mice,rabbits,guinea pigs,fish,snakes,goats and now pot belly pigs. We love making homemade treats in our house so I am currently taking some pet nutrition classes to safely make special dietary treats. I am comfortable with all ages and sizes. I would be more than happy to meet you before any final decisions are made so that we can discuss everything there is to know about your pet. I have experience with different illnesses and medications from working with a rescue where I adopted my own angel with a neurological disorder. We absolutely adore pets and I can promise you that you and your baby will be treated like family. I am a stay at home wife that is taking pet nutrition and business classes so I could someday open my own pet boutique where everything is homemade. I promise no potty breaks will be missed and your baby gets all the love and cuddles they can handle. 😊 We have dogs, cats and pot belly pigs for your pet to play with in our fenced yard but we also have big crates for separation if needed. Your baby will be allowed on our furniture to sleep and get cuddles unless you say otherwise lol we do love our snuggles.

About: I have always been a lover of all animals- dogs, cats, exotics, reptiles, aquatics.. YOU NAME IT! Currently in my third year of Veterinary School at St. George's University in Grenada-West Indies, I spend my summers at home in Highland CA gaining more experience in clinics, gaining more knowledge & skills in the field, and providing care on the side through Rover. I have experience in small animals, exotics, dairy (sheep) and currently trying to expose myself in the field of large animals. I am looking forward to meeting and caring for your fur babies, and thank you in advance for trusting me. I am currently taking online classes Tuesdays and Thursdays to work towards my Masters in Public Health degree alongside my Veterinary Degree, but will have a lot of time to care for your love ones Monday-Sunday according to my schedule. As our 2 of our dogs are not as friendly as our 3rd fur baby, I would like to avoid any problems that can occur as much as possible. Therefore, dog-sitting at the client's house is preferable.

“I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Sahula (Rebecca) for the outstanding job she did for watching my kitties. She kept me posted with messages, pictures & videos throughout the day. I didn’t worry about them once while we were away. She even stayed later than originally scheduled due to our flight being delayed. When we returned, we found the house more organized and cleaner than when we left! I am praying she’s still available next year because after this experience, I don’t want anyone else watching them! Thank you Rebecca! I honestly can’t thank you enough!”

About: Hello! I am Woody’s Owner ( 2 yo, m, Aussie, 55 lbs) and you got a friend in me! I am communicative, positive, and flexible with your needs. I am high energy, loving, and helpful. Here’s a little about my pet experience: I have volunteered at animal shelters since I was fifteen years old. I have experience with reptiles, birds, cats, and dogs. I enjoy backpacking, hiking, trail walks, and simply crocheting at home with the tv on. I like to watch the next Netflix drama hit, obviously. I have activities to do with high energy dogs and even low energy ones. See you’ve got a friend in me. I’ve got you through the highs and lows. I have open availability most of the week. I am open to any routines owners would like me to continue for their pets. This can be related to food, exercise, medication, and so on. My dog is kennel trained, so he can be separated from any other dogs I’m sitting if the dog I am sitting is not socialized. However, my dog is socialized and will be happy to have a playmate. I can take your pet out as often as you require and I can transport dogs to the dog park if that is okay. I also have extra feeding and water bowls, as well as toys and treats for any dog I am sitting. I also have a fenced yard.
