“Great job! Nancy came out to the house twice to meet with us and get to know Meija better before our trip. Nancy did a great job communicating with us during a week long house sitting job. She sent us several pictures including play time and walks. The house was clean and tidy upon our return. Meija was in good spirits. We have already booked Nancy for another house sitting job. We highly recommend her.”


“Christina was SO wonderful with Teddy and Archie. They loved her and she sent pics throughout the weekend. Her attentiveness to the pups put us at ease and it was a joy to have her stay at our place. Anyone looking for a caring, mindful sitter - Christina is your gal.”


About: I started taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs after retiring in 2024. My lifelong love for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes is now my daily passion! As an active retiree, I don't have any pets currently, and the house is empty and waiting for my next furry friend! I've cared for everything from dachshunds to a Bernese Mountain Dog. I love cats, but I want to watch them in your home, not mine. Happy to house-sit, work overnight shifts, and care for senior dogs and puppies. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have miles of walking trails and parks in the community, as well as an electronic fence for any dogs that need unrestricted access to a yard. I am fully retired and spend my days caring for your pets. Rarely will your important pet be left alone, if at all. I used Rover with my senior dog, Tucker, for over 5 years and met some wonderful people. It was a relief to me when I traveled, knowing my best friend was also enjoying his time in a safe, loving home. Now I meet new animal friends every week, and it feeds my soul and theirs. Your fur baby will have a dedicated sleeping space, feeding space, and unlimited access to our yard, depending on your needs. Full access to the entire house. I encourage you to bring toys, pet beds, crates, and any other items that will make your cherished pet comfortable. We are comfortable giving medication to older dogs, working with young puppies, and customizing our days to fit your pet's regular routines (such as walks, feeding, medication, and brushing). We have access to a private dog park, but we only go there after discussing it with you in advance. Note: we have an unfenced yard but use sound/ vibration to alert your pup if s/he is trying to escape. No electricity involved, just moderate stimulation. Most dogs learn the boundaries very quickly and without any discomfort.

About: Hi there! I’m Alisa, a dedicated and compassionate pet sitter who adores spending time with dogs and cats. I specialize in making pets feel at ease and comfortable, no matter their temperament or needs. With my gentle approach and keen attention to detail, I ensure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or a walk in the park, I’m here to provide excellent care tailored to your pet’s unique personality. I understand how important your pets are to you, and you can trust that I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Let’s work together to make sure your best friend has a positive and stress-free experience while in my care! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to learn more about your pet and their needs! I work remotely and therefore can spend time with your pets at your home. This provides a steady presence for your precious animal(s) while you're away, and also ensures ongoing time to feed, walk, play, and cuddle with your pets. I am a trusted housesitter, having cared for many animals over the years (both my own and others).

“Majesty was fantastic. Professional, respectful, reliable, accomodating. I felt totally relaxed and confident Jake was in good hands. Majesty sent updates and photos frequently and followed food and medication instructions perfectly. Highly recommended!!”


“I can definitely say that after being gone for eight days I was very appreciative for what I came back to. I've had my challenges with the dogs so for someone to come in a take over for a week seemed a little daunting however Yolanda came through with 5 stars... I have no doubt the dogs were well taken care of as all instructions left were meticulously followed and the dogs were definitely well cared for not to mention the house was cleaner then I left it. There's nothing better then coming back from a vacation with well taken care of dogs. Would definitely recommend for worry free dog sitting”


“Simone had great communication and was amazingly flexible with our timing needs - during a holiday weekend on top of that! Having peace of mind while away was much appreciated. She was respectful and easy going. Would definitely have her back to watch my mischievous pittie anytime!”


“Jessica was AWESOME! Typically, our pets are crying at the door when we come home because they missed us so much. But after Jessica watched them for a week, they seemed like they barely knew we were gone! She left the house in immaculate shape, the dog and cat were happy and healthy, and she was incredibly communicative throughout watching them. Will definitely ask her to watch them again- thanks Jessica!!”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am 52 years old and began walking my neighbors' dogs and housesitting for friends. When I lost my soulmate Layla after 14 years, I found a big void in my life. Being around animal energy is so fulfilling for me. This is when I decided to offer my love to others fur babies. I feel an immediate connection when meeting my new friends, I look forward to meeting your loved ones! I recently moved to Lake Wildwood from Martinez where I had built up quite a clientele. I work remotely which gives me ample flexibility for play time, potty breaks, cuddles and exercise. I love having company when working.

I work in the Fitness Industry so your pup is in good hands whether they need a short stroll or a long hike!

“Carly was a more than exceptional pet sitter! She had such a calm, kind demeanor and asked great introduction questions. My three dogs are a bit anxious so it was a gift to have someone like Carly watching them when we were away. She gave us frequent updates and pictures of how the pups were doing and they looked so happy in each photo. Carly is a must for anyone who wants to be certain that their pets are being looked after with the utmost care. Would highly recommend her services and we definitely will be using them again ourselves! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Lisa was so caring and attentive to my Jagger. He loved hanging out with her and going for walks. She even worked on his commands.”


Alisa S.
“I met Alisa several years ago through a spiritual community we both attended, and has since become a good friend. She has taken care of both my home and my sweet Goldendoodle dog, Goldy, on several occasions, and sometimes for stays of up to 1 week long. Alisa takes the dog/house sitting job very seriously, and I know once she commits I can totally depend on her. She always follows all my instructions for both the dog and house care perfectly, and I can always tell once we get back home that Goldy has been well taken care of. I love that she loves to get out and exercise, so it's very easy for her to take Goldy on long walks everyday. And she's very caring of Goldy's need for companionship, to the point she'll actually take her places with her to make sure she's not left alone too much while in her care. I trust her 100% with my dog, and my home.”
