House Sitting Sand City

“Elle did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. Koa is older and needs a little extra care and attention. It was obvious from the start that Elle made a connection with Koa. She sent lots of updates and pictures to show us how well Koa was doing. This is the first time we’ve left Koa with someone not in the family and it couldn’t have gone any better. We definitely recommend Elle.”

About: My preferred name is Artemisia (my legal name is Paola), and I’ll be your pet’s main sitter and caretaker. I share my home with my boyfriend, Ahmed, who may occasionally lend a hand here and there, but I’m the person responsible for your pet’s care, communication, walks, feeding, and day to day routine. I believe animals deserve the absolute best care, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently care for an adorable cat and two puppies, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. I work from home, which means your pet will have lots of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I bring a calm, intuitive presence and really take the time to get to know each animal and what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime and a little training, or would rather have a cozy day full of naps and cuddles, I tailor their care to what they enjoy most (usually a mix of both!). I live in a house with a large backyard, so there’s plenty of space to play and get outside. Ahmed is also an animal lover and may be around during your pet’s stay, but I am the primary caretaker for all bookings and will be the one you communicate with about your pet. Whether you’re traveling, working, or simply need an extra hand, you can feel confident knowing your pet will be in a safe, loving, and attentive environment with someone who genuinely cares about making their time away from you as comfortable and happy as possible. I work from home, so your pet will have company and care throughout most of the day alongside my own pets. If your dog enjoys walks or outings like the beach, I’d love to include them with mine. Otherwise, they’ll be relaxing at home in a calm, attentive environment and won’t be left alone for more than about an hour (if they’re comfortable with short periods of alone time). I make sure my pets get a healthy balance of play, structure, and rest. With my dog, I focus on plenty of playtime and ongoing training, which helps her burn energy and settle into naps while I work. My cat prefers a calmer routine and spends most of her day relaxing in her own space, but I always make time for snuggles and connection so she feels loved and secure. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and energy levels. If a dog becomes tired or overstimulated, I’m happy to crate them for a peaceful reset if that’s part of their routine. For cats, I create a cozy, quiet space where they can feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. There is plenty of room in our house and yard to create separate spaces for pets to have their own areas (for sleep, food, play, etc.) if that is what they prefer. ❤️

“Megan was great with our dog! We hired Megan for house sitting for our 14 year old dog for a few days. She gave him plenty of potty breaks, walks and cuddles! She was very attentive to his needs and preferred schedule. I highly recommend Megan and would book with her again for walks, house sitting, or a drop in!”

“Laura is a wonderful dog and house sitter. She is responsible and asks questions to understand our dogs' different needs. She communicates well with photos and updates. We can easily be away from home knowing she is there to tend to the needs of our two Cardigan Welsh Corgis and our home and land.”

“Lisbeth was great! She was very communicative and pretty sure my house was cleaner when I got back home than when I left. I felt very comfortable with my animals and home in her care. I will be using her again next time I need a pet/house sitter. Thanks so much Lisbeth!!”

“Sonia was fantastic with our dog. It was a huge comfort having someone who is so experienced with veterinary medicine taking care of our older frenchie with some health issues. Highly recommend”

About: I grew up around horses and learned to respect all living creatures large and small. We always had pets at home and they gravitated towards me because I like to play and have fun with them. I had a cat for 16 years in my youth and loved her so much. Kitties will always have a special place in my heart. I have had many pets over the years and my most recent were two rescue shepherd/husky mix wonderful family members. They were brother and sister and both passed away. I do not currently have any pets of my own right now. Pet sitting is the joy of my life, and I cannot imagine a day without walking, playing and cuddling with furry friends. I am home all day and available to spend quality time with your fur babies! I am extremely flexible and am here for all of your pet’s needs. I like as much information about the pet as you'd like to give me. Whatever your pet needs, I will provide for them. I have lots of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs and cats. I welcome any information you can provide to help your pet feel comfortable. I will only feed your pet what you provide. I will follow all of your instructions verbatim.

“This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone who wasn’t family while I was on vacations so I was a bit nervous. However, Arlene was amazing!!! My dog loved her the minute she met her. She sent me daily pics and updates on how she was doing and the things they were up to. Knowing my baby was being so well taken care of allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house (not expected at all but very nice after an exhausting travel day). I would highly recommend her and hope she is available for our future pup sitting needs :)”

“Nicola did an amazing job making sure our pups felt like they were at home even when we were away from home. She was very fast at responding back when booking and answering all of our questions. She as well made sure to ask questions about our pups to make sure they were well taken care of. While we were at our event she sent us a text a little after we left to let us know they had settled in with her. Giving us a peace of mind as we entered our evening. We got multiple updates and the cutest pictures of our boys. Definitely book with Nicola if you want tour pups to feel safe and loved. She was incredible.”

“Claire was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our 11month old golden retriever puppy at our home. She was attentive to her needs, took her on walks, gave us updates throughout the day, and made sure she was cared for in the best way possible. She was available to watch her last minute and even stayed later at our home when some unexpected things came up for my wife at work. We are very appreciative of the care Claire provides to our puppy! Highly recommend!”

“Mallory was great with Charlie and communicated frequently! We had delays getting home and she stayed longer than anticipated! So grateful that Charlie was in wonderful care.”

“Simply put, Valeriya was amazing. She exceeded all our expectations and we could not have imagined a better experience. Valeriya took care of our 8-year old Aussie Doodle Noodles, sitting for him in our home, taking care of our house as well, for a little more than a month. It was our first ever long duration trip leaving Noodles at home, and we were anxious to say the least. At the meet and greet, Valeriya suggested a series of "get-to-know Noodles" activities to ensure her arrival for the sit was well met and comfortable. She asked us to prepare thorough directions, including items we would not have thought to include without her tremendous input. During the stay, she communicated daily with us about Noodles, his activities, eating, general health and well being, providing photos and live videos of their time together. We had weekly video calls with her and Noodles. She contacted us whenever anything unexpected, however small, came up. But most importantly, her professional, courteous approach with us was matched only by her genuine affection and care for Noodles, who took to her immediately. The bond between Valeriya and Noodles reflected in her videos, her smiles, and his smiles and genuine enthusiasm for her and all their activities throughout her care for Noodles. We did not worry about his well-being for one second. Valeriya is the "Mary Poppins" of pet sitters -- we literally could not have conceived how perfect a fit she would be for Noodles and for us. She is invaluable, words cannot express our gratitude to her, or the affection she shared with Noodles throughout her extended stay with him in our home. We are looking forward to a long term relationship with her for all our pet sitting needs. She is, succinctly, beyond great -- she is the very best, and the standard for pet sitting should be based on every aspect of her service. With eternal gratitude to Valeriya, we remain over the top for her kind, courteous, loving care for Noodles and our home.”

“Very nice and super accommodating! It was my first time leaving my two working dogs to be watched by someone and she did an amazing job! She was super flexible and was great with the dogs. She sent me photos and updates after every visit/walk. I will definitely look for her to watch my dogs again!”

Emily B.

“Very communicative! She provided lots of pictures and videos, and made sure to keep my dog on his regular schedule. She was also very nice, even when my dog was not!”

“Our Doods were in good hands and stayed happy and cozy while we were away! Alexandra kept us informed by sending us sweet pup pics throughout the night. She showed up on time and was so sweet with the pups. Grateful for this service! Highly recommend!”

“Greta was GREAT! Throughout the whole process she has been prompt with communication and oh so pleasant. She clearly developed a caring and affectionate relationship with our dog and she was well cared for during our vacation. She also kept us appraised of their activities with plenty of photos, which clearly showed that Tilly was well cared for and having fun. She also took good care of our home and we returned to a clean and orderly house! Always a plus after vacation. I would recommend Greta without reservation.”

“Rain was absolutely incredible. She responded to our request instantly, was extremely flexible with our last-minute needs and crazy early morning start, and was punctual and great at coordinating. Moreover, she took care of both of our dogs and our space extremely well, they had a great time, and were happy and energized. She literally made our engagement day possible and we can't thank her enough. We would trust her with anything. Thank you Rain!”
