House Sitting in Simi Valley

“Liz is awesome. Super responsive and clearly loves all dogs. She had just come off an extended stay with another client but that didn’t stop her from making Jack her #1 priority. She ensured she arrived at our house on the first day soon after we left, she was clearly home with him a lot and she double-checked what time we expected to be home on the last day before leaving. The house was super tidy when we got home and Jack, while happy to see us, clearly had a great few days with Liz. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough (except during times we want her to stay with ours again 😁).”

“We had an emergency and Michael was great with all our clan. We have German Shep who recently had surgery so he had to watch him closely, and a totally eat the carpet crazy husky pup visiting for him to manage and he did great!! He followed instructions even setting timer to let puppy out at potty time to avoid accidents in the house! Kept them calm and under control. Gave them treats as promised and made me able to attend an event with total peace of mind. Would ? recommend him for dog sitting in your house and will use again!”

“Luna didn’t miss a beat while I was away. It was the longest I had ever left her. Zoe went above and beyond to ease my worries with the cutest pics and daily updates. I still have no idea how she gets her to walk so well!? For sure a dog whisperer. When I returned Luna was so happy and well taken care of, very obvious she loves her girl time with Zoe! My apartment was spotless, it was like I had never left. Zoe is the best! Lucky to have such a great sitter:) Luna is already looking forward to the next visit!”

“Deana was amazing. She was wonderful with our 1 year old golden retriever, and went way above and beyond in house and pet sitting for us while we were away. She took our dog for extra walks and sent tons of pictures of the two of them having fun, and playing together. Deana has an amazingly positive and warm personality, and it is quite obvious that she is an animal lover. We were at complete peace while away knowing our dog was being given such great care. We were amazed at how clean she left our home when we returned, and her communication the entire time was excellent. I highly recommend Deana. She is simply outstanding!”

“Emily watched our dog Otis in our home for 4 days. She communicated with us everyday and was quick to respond. Our dog Otis can be shy around new people and he warmed up to Emily right away. Your dogs and your house are in good hands with Emily, we would definitely trust her to watch Otis again!”

“Deanna was wonderful! We had a 9th hour injury to one of our dogs and she monitored and cared for her so well! We will definitely call on her again.”

“Sara was a fantastic house & dog sitter for us! Our little man Atlas is 16 and doesn't do well outside his own environment, so having a trustworthy sitter come stay at our place is important. From the getgo Sara was quick to communicate and it was great that she wanted to meet in person to make sure it was a good fit. Atlas was super happy when he first met Sara, and they seemed to have a good time together. We got proactive daily updates with pictures, and she asked clarifying questions on a couple of things to ensure she was meeting our needs/requests. The house was super clean when we returned just like we left it. We left for the airport earlier than her arrival (as planned), and although she was running a little late to arrive at our house, she was transparent about it and offered to stay longer on the final day to make up for it, which was appreciated. Overall, she was wonderful, saved our Thanksgiving plans by responding to a last-minute request, and we'd absolutely have her back if/when the need arises! Thanks Sara!”

About: 🥰 Now retired from Corporate America- I finally get to do what I love!! If you’re looking for Quality, Responsible and Experienced care for your pets- look no further! I have 45+ years experience with dogs, cats and horses. 🐴 🐈 🐶 Prior Volunteer @Agoura Animal Shelter I’ve been in love with pets since I was born. I’ve had many dogs over the years. I was raised with Dobermans, and had 2 of my own as an adult, in addition to a German Shepherd, Husky, Lab mix, 2 Min Pins and now, a Terrier/mix rescued from the meat trade in So. Korea. I’ve had one or more cats at a time since the day I was born (feral), and at one point, we rescued a pregnant kitty that had 4 kittens, which we kept and all lived long and cherished lives. My last kitty, “Little Girl”, was found by the grooms at the barn @ 3 weeks old. She was so wild, that she chewed the nipple off the bottle, and the Vet said it would never work! She recently passed at 19 years old, from CKD/Hyperthyroidism, which we both valiantly fought for 4 yrs. She was my soul cat- that I will miss for the rest of my life.💔 I’m an Equestrian- Horses are my passion! I’ve competed and owned horses for over 30 years, and have extensive knowledge of their care. I’m Insured and Pet 1st Aid/CPR Certified. I have experience medicating pets (ie:cats with Hyperthyroidism/CKD, etc dogs with pancreatitis, etc). Specialize in Senior pets. I know what it’s like to have to leave your beloved fur-babies home, especially if they aren’t feeling well! Whether they’re in tip top health, or in need of a little extra attention due to a medical condition, You can rest assured, that they will have the best care! I’m home full time now, and so available to meet the commitment and responsibilities of caring for your special fur-babies. Because feeding/walking and playing take time and attention- and every pet has its own unique and individual needs, sometimes they just need a little extra love and companionship❤️ Safety is my #1 priority! I will always ensure that your pets are safe, your home is secure and there is nothing within reach that could cause them harm. Additionally, walks are always done considering the environment, other pets and their proximity to your pet and the demeanor of both. No risks are ever taken.

“Leah did an amazing job and I will for sure be using her again in the future! I appreciated her quick communication, the many pics of my pup, and overall just being a nice, clean, respectful human being that very clearly loves dogs. I could tell Ryu was well taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone! You will feel very at ease with Leah.”

“Eric is a gentleman, a kind man who loved and care for our dog, Nube, with his sense of responsibility and attentiveness. We highly recommend him. But do not book him too much so we can still have a chance! Hehe ;-)”

“I highly recommend Meghan! She did such a great job taking care of my dog and my home while I was away. The house was spotless when we returned and although my dog can be anxious, she warmed right up to Meghan during her stay. She was also very quick to respond and sent lots of updates!”

“Julia took care of our 8 month old lab puppy for a week in our home and our dog adjusted with her great. Our dog is HIGH energy and jumpy and she managed it great. Our dog was happy and looked great when we got back.”

About: I am new to Rover, but I am not new to animal care! I have 20 years of experience as a pet parent, and hands on experience as a volunteer and staff member at an animal rescue where my responsibilities included walking, feeding, daily care, basic grooming, playtime and enrichment for large and small dogs and animals with special needs. I enjoy all stages of animal development (from puppyhood to senior life). Should your pet(s) have medical needs, I am proficient in: • Oral medication administration • Ointments and drops medication administration • Injected medication administration • Subcutaneous (SubQ) fluids therapy • First Aid As a dog mom, I too have been through the process of finding a house and/or pet sitter I trust. I understand the importance of communication and updates, cute pictures and/or videos, and most importantly knowing that your home is being taken care of and your pet(s) are safe and secure and in the loving care of a competent and reliable sitter. Whether caring for clients' pets or assisting with rescue dogs, my commitment to animal welfare is unwavering. 🐾 As your house and pet sitter, during my stay, I will be a reliable presence in your home. Daily updates, including photos and/or videos, will keep you informed and provide you with complete peace of mind. To ensure the best possible care, I will ask for information about daily routines, including your pets activity levels, social behavior with both people and other animals, and any ongoing care or monitoring that may be required.

“Thank you for all ur help , Mara goes out of her way to ensure my pup is good while I’m away , takes good care definitely recommend her services very sweet and reliable Sitter . Will continue using her services”

“Martha was exceptional with our dogs! She arrived on time, communicated promptly, and handled everything with professionalism and care. She took great care of our senior dog and our younger, more energetic pups, managing their different needs effortlessly. One of our dogs, who has anxiety around new people, warmed up to her quickly—a testament to Martha's patience and understanding. We also came home to a well-maintained house, which was a pleasant bonus. It's clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Highly recommend Martha to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their pets. She’s fantastic!”

About: I have owned a Jack Russell Terrier for 17 years and she is in great health. She has great teeth and a toned body. I walk her three times a day, this keeps her energy levels balanced. She is naturally very hyperactive and requires a lot of attention. We run together aside from taking long walks. I can meet your dogs exercise needs. I joined rover because I genuinely love dogs and I thought what better way to get to meet many different dogs and provide a service to others. I have been told that I put pets at ease and I would like to make dogs happy and give them the daily activity they need. It is nice to know that Rover allows people the opportunity to do this. I am a third year medical student and need doggy love myself! I love the company of dogs and they love me :) I will treat your lovely pet well. I will follow all rules and guidelines provided to me. I care for the pets I take care of and will make sure that they are safe.

“Deena was excellent with our Havanese. She sent pictures often and was very reliable and responsible.”

About: I've been a pet owner my whole life, and dogs naturally gravitate toward me. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of taking care of friends' pets and fostering shelter puppies, providing them with the love and care they deserve. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I work remotely part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on most days, including weekends. When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a secure and loving environment with a spacious, fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise safely. Although I currently don't own any pets of my own, I have extensive experience fostering shelter puppies and taking care of friends' pets. If needed, I can easily crate your dog to ensure their comfort and safety. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and equipped with all the essentials to keep your pet happy and healthy. I am always prepared for emergencies, with a plan in place to handle any unexpected situations. I will keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. By providing personalized and attentive care, I ensure that your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in my home.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to sweet senior pups who need a little extra love. I know that every dog has their own personality and quirks, and I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned in to their needs. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, playtime, feeding, or administering medication, I make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m confident in reading canine body language and creating a calm, positive environment they’ll love coming back to. I am willing to take care of your animals needs any time of the day, I will not take the job if I do not believe I can give your animal the upmost attention they deserve. I am willing to incorporate the animals usual routine while stimulating their brain a little bit more than when you may be home. Because pets have such a shorter time on this Earth their days feel sooo much longer, let me make it fun!

About: I have taken care of dogs of my own for over 10 years… I love being around dogs and cats. Family and friends can count on me when taking care of their pets! Animals makes me happy, they make my day ❤️ As of right now I have all the time and days available, since I’m only working from home as a reseller! So I am available 7 days a week at any time I live in a gated building, I live in a condo, and I have a balcony! I always walk my dog in front of the building and take them to the park that’s near the building
