House Sitting San Carlos

“Chelsea is incredibly responsive, reliable, and easy to communicate with. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals, and she took excellent care of my fur babies while I was away. I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”

“There was an instant connection between India and our two large dogs, Magnus and Murtagh. She knew how to instinctively manage them with kindness and firmness. We immediately were confident in her abilities to take care of our dogs while we were out of town. India is delightful and trustworthy. We highly recommend her services.”

“Caroline bonded with Tim instantly, diverted him while I was leaving, sent me very cute photos and handled a leaky refrigerator. She did an all around excellent job.”

About: Having loved and lost my own dogs, I know firsthand that pets are deeply valued family members who deserve the highest quality of care. For the last six years, I have been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for my friends and family. Whether you are traveling for a few days or just need a reliable walker during a busy work week, I am here to ensure your pets maintain their routine and receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention. With a highly flexible part-time schedule, I dedicate my days fully to pet care and companionship. Your furry family member will never be left alone for long periods, as I have ample availability throughout the week for early morning turnouts, midday walks, and dedicated evening attention. Whether you need reliable daily dog walking to break up the workday or attentive overnight house sitting while you travel, my routine is designed to seamlessly adapt to your pet's established schedule and provide them with plenty of love, exercise, and care. When caring for your pet in your home, my top priority is maintaining a safe, trustworthy, and familiar environment. I focus on safety first by enforcing strict leash rules during walks and thoroughly double-checking all door and window locks. To build trust, I completely respect your private space while keeping you connected with detailed check-in notes and regular updates. Finally, I preserve your pet's familiar sanctuary by keeping their routine and home setup exactly as you left it, ensuring a stress-free experience while you are away.

“Aylia was great! This was our 6-month old Beagle pup’s first experience with a sitter, and it went without a hitch. Our puppy warmed up to Aylia instantly. We will surely use Aylia again.”

About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, whom I adopted at just 2 months old and raised into a happy, healthy pup who is now almost 5. Through this journey, I gained experience with puppy training, housebreaking, exercise, nutrition, and lots of love. Right now, my dog is living back in my home country with my parents, and I truly miss her every day. I signed up to care for pets because I love dogs deeply and want to share that same love and attention with others’ furry family members. I will care for your pets with the same dedication and affection that I give my own. As a full-time elementary school teacher, I have consistent availability during the week from 5:00pm to 9:00pm, making me well-suited for evening walks, feedings, and drop-in visits. On weekends, I have greater flexibility and can dedicate extended time to pet care, including longer walks, playtime, and overnight stays if needed. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines carefully—whether that’s feeding, walking or playtime to ensure dogs feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to home safety, making sure doors, gates, and leashes are properly secured at all times. I also focus on building trust with each pet through patience, consistency, and gentle care, so they feel safe and loved while their family is away.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals—from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need gentle care and extra attention. I’m skilled in reading animal body language, administering basic medications, and maintaining calm, comforting environments. My priority is always safety, trust, and keeping pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I plan my schedule around the pets I look after, making sure each one gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings, I build my day around their routines. On a weekly basis, I check in with clients to confirm schedules, update them with photos and notes, and make sure each pet’s needs are being met. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every single day. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines to minimize stress, keep them active and engaged, and send regular photo and text updates so owners feel connected and confident that their furry family members are in good hands.

“We hired Debora for our first ever in-home house/dog-sitting and Deborah put all of our concerns at ease. During our meet-and-greet it was very apparent that Deborah is highly knowledgeable about dogs and dog training. Her extremely well-socialized and well-behaved dog Oliver stayed as well, and our dog Oslo had the time of his life with his temporary live-in pal. Deborah was great about getting to know our needs and tailoring the service to them by offering various options for ways of doing things. We got regular detailed updates and photos during our trip which was great. Deborah was very prompt about responding to communications and left the house very clean, we couldn't tell she was there. Deborah was fantastic and we would definitely have her house / dog sit for us again!”

About: Hi, I’m Tamer. I recently relocated to San Carlos from Phoenix, Arizona, and I’m excited to become part of the local community.

I work a professional Monday through Friday schedule from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and have evenings and weekends available.

I recently moved to San Carlos from Phoenix, Arizona and enjoy being active and spending time outdoors. Whether your dog is staying for a weekend or a few days, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home in San Carlos and only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so each pet receives personalized attention. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special routines provided by owners. I provide regular walks, potty breaks, and exercise while maintaining a calm and safe environment. Communication is important to me, so I send photo updates and messages throughout each stay to give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands.

“Lisa was fantastic! She dog sat for me for 2 days very last minute when I was in a pinch. My little guy was going through a rough time, but he did so great with Lisa! She took such great care of him and kept me well updated along the way. She really helped us both. I will definitely be reaching out to Lisa again.”

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.

“Joy was great with my little Maltese. He is a bit stranger shy and tends to bark when meeting new people, but Joy was patient with Nemo and was not put off or annoyed by Nemo's barking. She ended up getting into his playpen and sitting with him, giving him scratches and cuddles, which did the trick and settled him down. All my little guy needed was some attention and TLC! Nemo seemed to enjoy his time with Joy, and vice versa. Thanks for being patient with my dog and finding a way to connect with him!”
