House Sitting Somis

“Absolutely fabulous! Michele is the best pet sitter I have ever had the pleasure of having for any of my dogs. She immediately bonded with Oliver, who is a real Mama’s boy. Lovely photos were sent daily of Oliver going on multiple walks, cuddling and enjoying his time with her. She was very attentive of his needs. Michele is a treasure”

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in middle school and have had the pleasure and opportunity to care for many different furry companions! I am no stranger to administering medications and have pet-sat many different dogs and cats of all sizes and shapes! I have no issue caring for cats and/or dogs that have any sort of deformities, amputations, or just look weird and funky in general. A dog is still a dog and a cat is still a cat, and every pet deserves love regardless of what they look like! I am currently a college student who loves caring for all kinds of fur babies! You can be sure I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens to their hearts’ content! I’m still getting used to how this app works with its settings, so if you have any questions about pricing and scheduling, shoot me a text so we can discuss it! I'm willing to talk things out if you can't initially afford my rates! ¡También soy fluida en español! My clients will always receive the best care that I can give them. Every animal is different and has different needs, and I am prepared to meet them all! I'll be sure to send pictures and videos regularly of me and your pet(s) having a great time! I'm willing to protect your pet(s) as fiercely as you are, and I will happily administer medications and clean up messes! I take great pleasure and honor in making your best furry friends feel as safe and loved as they would if you were there!

“Natalie get 10 stars! What a fantastic sitter for our dog, Rip. Natalie was on time to the house and she followed all of our instructions for our dogs care. Natalie was so loving and allowed him to love her and bond with her. She put play dates together to give our dog more interaction with other pups his age and that was excellent. She sent us daily progress reports with pictures of our dog and that kept us close and informed. She stayed at our house and she left it cleaner than she found it. I’ve already recommended her to neighbors because great sitters are hard to find! 😊”

“Julie was just amazing. Great communication about my dogs while I was away on my trip, she took lots of photos and videos of my puppies. She also went above and beyond...she picked up all the dog poop in the yard, she bought my dogs had a bunch of new toys and chew bones, she washed their dog bowls, she even toped off their water bowls before she left. Would definitely book her again.”

“Amanda was great with our animals, including our cat who needs medication daily. Came home to happy animals and was very happy to provide updates and pictures!”

About: What truly sets me apart is my background in fostering. Over the past four years, I’ve opened my home to 10+ foster dogs, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and needs — from energetic 8-week-old puppies to gentle 14-year-old seniors. Fostering has taught me that every dog is different. Some pups are social and playful right away, while others need patience and time to feel comfortable in a new environment. I focus on understanding each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences so they can feel at home. I intentionally care for one guest dog at a time, which allows me to provide personalized attention, maintain their routines, and give them the calm environment they deserve. I am also experienced and comfortable administering oral and topical medications, including supporting senior dogs and pups with specialized care needs. My goal is not just to provide a place for your dog to stay, but to create a home-like experience where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether we’re enjoying walks, playtime, or simply relaxing at home, I treat every dog like a member of my own family. I offer flexible, personalized care throughout the week! I provide plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup is staying for a weekend getaway or a longer visit, I focus on maintaining their routine and helping them feel comfortable in a new environment. I am available for overnight stays, boarding, and extended care seven days a week. My goal is to provide a calm, home-like experience where your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every dog as an individual and focus on creating a calm, clean, and low-stress environment where they can feel at home. To provide the attention each dog deserves, I intentionally care for one guest dog at a time. This allows me to focus on their personality, routine, energy level, and unique needs — whether they are playful and active or prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged through regular walks, outdoor time, play, and mental stimulation tailored to their comfort level. My home also has a private patio where pups can relax and enjoy some supervised fresh air. I believe that pet parents know their dogs best, so I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules and favorite activities to crate preferences and special care instructions. I am comfortable administering both oral and topical medications, including supporting senior dogs or pups with specific medical needs. Communication is important to me, and I’m happy to arrange a Meet & Greet before your dog’s stay so we can build trust and make sure it is the right fit. During stays, I provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and receiving personalized care.

About: I have worked with small pets such as fish and large pets such as horses. I also care for any age from a couple weeks old to seniors. I love them all I’m currently a college student at CSUN going twice a week from 7am to 2pm. I’m available pretty much all the time every week to care for your pets. I prefer to care for your pets in your home where they are most comfortable. I always care for your home as if it were my own and will kept tidy.

About: I’ve helped rescue two dogs so far within these past few years. Animals have really brightened up my life. I love caring for pets any size and age. My old co workers would call me the doggy whisperer because I liked talking to the dogs that would come in with their owners and the dogs seem to take a liking to me. I’m not sure why dogs gravitate to me. I think it has to do with how much I appreciate all the love they have to give. They truly are little fury blessings. I am grateful to come in to contact with pets. I enjoy making them smile from ear to ear. With great responsibility, there also comes great rewards with having pets. I’m here to help anybody in need of a dog/house sitter! My availability is currently open anytime Monday through Sunday, day or night! I also am available for holidays and all summer long if you need me. I am currently only open to house sitting inside your home or pet sitting in your home. Temporarily in a transition of moving so, my place currently isn’t available for dog boarding.

“Zoe took such great care of our sweet dog and our house! We got 2x per day pictures or videos and Zoe was on top of everything. It was great to come home to a happy dog and clean house!”

“Krista took such amazing care of our 130 lb dog while we were out of town. She didn’t just “watch” him, she truly loved on him, played with him, and treated him with so much kindness and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed, tail-wagging dog says everything about the care he received. She also watered our plants, kept us updated with lots of pictures, and went above and beyond by watercoloring a beautiful portrait of our dog as a parting gift. It was incredibly thoughtful and meaningful. Krista is dependable, caring, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone special to care for their pets and home.”

About: All of my experience with animals has been personal and I love it so much. I grew up with animals in the house from cats to dogs then to having both. I currently have one cat of my own and my mom has 3 dogs that I look after as well. I’m a little different than anybody else in that I will make sure your pet has an amazing time while you’re away. They won’t even notice you’re gone. I won’t just take them potty and then sit on the couch, I love to play and entertain any animal! What many don’t know is that while a pets life may seem shorter than humans, its their entire life and they’re living it with us. So it’s my job to make sure I do all I can to keep your pets happy and healthy! I’m currently doing this full-time so my schedule works around you and your pets! Pets have been part of my daily routine my entire life. I make sure I listen to everything the owner says and be sure their pet has an amazing time. Most importantly that the pet doesn’t even realize you’re gone.

“Enrique is absolutely the best dog whisperer ever! My dog Daisy was instantly comfortable with Enrique, love at first sight! Enrique is very professional, communicates well with pictures and is trustworthy and kind. I highly recommend Enrique to everyone!”

“Sage was great! She stayed overnight at our home with our 6 month old pup, Oakley, and immediately put us at ease. She was communicative from the start, made sure we went over all care details before we left, and asked thoughtful questions. Throughout the stay, she sent several check-in texts with photos, which we truly appreciated, especially since this was our first night away. She paid attention to detail, followed Oakley’s routine, and left our home neat and clean. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”

About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was the age of ten. Neighbors, friends, roommates, and family would rely on me to drop by if needed. I have always loved animals, and I will make sure your animals are healthy and happy. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from small to large, and I even cared for all three of my siblings' dogs at once for about a full year. My schedule is pretty flexible! Wednesdays can be pretty busy, but other than that, feel free to request a booking, and I will respond as soon as possible. With my previous dog, I made sure she lived her life to the fullest. I took her on walks twice a day to the dog park right next to the neighborhood, but at specific times. As she aged, of course I had to decrease walks or distance. We gave her medication orally. The last dog I dog sat, she had a leg injury, so I had to make sure she didn’t jump off the couch or do anything to stress her injuries. I always accommodate what the owner wants for their pets, and I love playing with the dogs.

“Britny is my first Rover house and dog sitter experience and she did not disappoint. After recently losing my husband, I was nervous about having a stranger look after my 5 dogs and be in my home for a few days while I was traveling. Britny scheduled a meet-and-greet to discuss the scope of the house and dog sitting needs to assure both parties were a good match for one another. Upon arriving, she immediately connected with my dogs and put them at ease shortly after walking through the door. This rapport carried over to the official house sitting experience, and I could see how comfortable and loving the dogs were toward her in the daily photo and text updates she sent. She took on the individual care and feeding nuances for each dog seamlessly, and proactively reached out with any questions or concerns when she noticed something different with a dog’s comportment. She also took excellent care of the house while I was away and left it immaculate when she left. She went above and beyond by also coordinating someone to mow my lawn, which was tremendously helpful! I highly recommend Britny for multiple dog house holds and longer trips, and I will be using her again in the future.”

About: Reliable and attentive dog walker based in Simi Valley. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or puppy care, I focus on keeping your dog safe, active, and happy—with consistent updates so you always know how they’re doing. Pet care is a regular and rewarding part of my daily life! I schedule my days around walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, which allows me to give each dog the time and attention they deserve. I keep a consistent routine, which helps dogs feel comfortable and secure—whether it’s sticking to their usual walk times or maintaining feeding and potty schedules. Because pet care is a priority for me, I’m flexible and dependable, especially for early morning walks, midday breaks, or evening visits. Whether it's a short walk or an extended stay, I plan ahead to make sure your pet gets reliable, loving care every time. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or special care needs—so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own.

My goal is to make your time away as easy on your pet as possible—with lots of love, consistency, and tail wags!

About: I’ve had a few steady pet sitting/walking jobs in the last few years. I worked as a dog walker for an amazing woman in Malibu for her 5 dogs and walked 5x a week ~3.5 hours a day. I’ve also done many overnight stays in people’s homes for their cats/dogs when they are out for weekend getaways or longer vacations. I have my own dog (Stormy, Chow 2.5 years old) and absolutely love her to death! I’d love to spend time with your pets whether they just want companionship, walks, playtime, or overnights. I’ve had experience with high energy, low energy, various breeds, you name it. Send me a message if you have any questions to see if I would be a good fit for you! I currently have a flexible schedule, as I work remote and can WFH. I am currently available to do overnights, walks, and drop ins as needed. Coming into your home I will treat your pets just as I would treat my own!(: Each individual circumstance depends on the client’s and pet’s needs and will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

“Excellent! Great communication before and during her stay. Always responsive and anticipating questions or issues. Cannot recommend highly enough!”

About: I have been taking care of a variety of dogs over the last ten years. I have been able to give love to puppies, animals in their last months of life, and even three legged friends. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, hikes, playing fetch, and interactive enrichment games. My schedule as a substitute teacher gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week. I typically work anywhere from 2-4 days Monday-Friday, usually from around 8 AM–3 PM, so I have plenty of availability before and after school, as well as on days when I’m not teaching. I love being active, spending time outdoors, and being around animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to fitting into my routine. Whether it’s a walk, time to play, a drop-in visit, or house sitting, I’m happy to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need! I always start by learning each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. Most importantly though, I follow the owner’s instructions closely. My goal is to make the pet feel like nothing has changed, even though their owner is away. For walks and drop-in visits, I enjoy getting to know each pet and finding fun ways to keep them happy and engaged. Depending on their personality and energy level, that might include going for a walk, playing fetch, trying interactive games, spending time outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection. I like offering more than one way for pets to get their energy out while also making sure they have everything they need before I leave. For house sitting, I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, play, and bedtime routines while keeping them company and making sure the home stays clean and secure. Since every pet is different, I’m always happy to adjust my care to their individual temperament, preferences, and needs.

About: I’ve had dogs and birds, but I’ve cared for many animals for over 15 years. Animals typically like me, because they know I love them! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule to take good care of your pets. We’ll have lots of walks and play time fun. I have a little fenced yard and lots of areas to walk. We can easily drive to dog parks. I’m very safe, gentle and attentive.
