House Sitting In South Los Altos

About: Animals are a large part of my life and I enjoy taking care of each one and their particular needs. I have a wide range of experience from livestock to feathered friends and love them all! I am comfortable administering medication, grooming, playing, and loving on indoor and outdoor animals of all ages. I am attentive to detail and will make sure your pets and home are taking care of to the highest degree. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to giving you peace of mind while you are away. I'm currently on summer vacation, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets attention and love! I am available to drop in for a visit or stay at your home. If I am already booked for a house stay, no worries, I can still check in on your pets! I can send lots of photos and videos to give peace of mind. Your pets will receive the highest quality of care, and I am happy to follow any special instructions for each and every one. I guarantee a save environment and happy animals!

“This is our second time using Alexus and she did not disappoint, yet again! She’s so diligent and attentive to our pups every need and more. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs don’t even miss us while we are away! She stays on schedule so they don’t feel a change in routine. We are so grateful for her! She is the best and I highly recommend her for loving your fur babies while away. Thank you million’s Alexus!”

“Hoss is amazing!!! They were available on unreasonably short notice when the original sitter I had booked randomly disappeared. Our dogs were obsessed with Hoss from the first moment, and I have no doubt our precious ones felt safe and cared for the entire time. On top of looking after two finicky pups (one is elderly and requires medication, one is shy and stubborn, and they are both bratty), they took great care of our home and made sure to send us updates, even going out of their way to hand feed our little girl her kibbles when she went on hunger strike because of our absence. Hoss is attentive and understanding, a true animal lover. And to top it all off they have a great personality, radiating kindness and fun energy. We would be lucky to have them sit for us again. 10/10 highly recommend.”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and enjoy their company. I had two Labradors and four cats sharing my home, who have since gone over the Rainbow Bridge. My sister has a middle-aged rescue brindle, a two-year-old calico cat, and a Retriever puppy that I assist caring for which fills that furry gap. My diversity in caring for old and young dogs is extensive along with varieties of dogs from Labradors to Pittbull-mixes to Bassett Hounds. I love how pets fill our hearts with love and affection and I enjoy being with them, caring and playing with them. Being retired I can spend as much time as needed to care for your fur babies. My versatile schedule allows me availability to be with them whenever needed to let them out, play, feed and check on them. I look forward to meeting them, and you. I have done house and pet sitting for many years bringing experience and attention to every home and pet I meet. One of my goals is to bring comfort when you are away knowing your home and pets are well cared for. My first priority is to be mindful of the location of each dog and cat while there. Safety is most important, being aware of closed doors and gates to avoid any mishaps and alert to anything on the floor or within reach that could be ingested. Every pet has their unique habits and I am careful to learn those from you and them and focus on their needs. I enjoy giving people that comfort knowing their fur babies and their home are in good hands.

“Malcolm did a great job watching our 2 dogs while we were away! He kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout our trip. The dogs loved him too. Definitely recommend!”

“As always, Ava takes great care of my Tallulah & Dennis. Always prompt and arrives when she says. I’m so appreciative of the great care she gives my 2. Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.”

“Susana was great my dogs. They were happy pups when I returned after 6 days. Lots of photo communication. She left my home in great shape. I highly recommend her.”

“Candace has been a true savior for us with lots of travel and a home renovation project underway all happening at once. She stepped in and took care our our two dogs and our house, letting contractors in and locking up after they left for the day. Her confident and friendly presence enabled us to continue work on our project while we were away and avoid delays. We truly appreciated Candace's presence at the house while we were away and knew everything was being taken care of, including our two dogs who bonded with her right away. We have hired Candace twice now and will continue to do so in the future. She is wonderful. Book her early as she is in high demand!”

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

“Val sit my fur babies twice now and she is phenomenal! My animals were happy when I got home and she did everything I asked. She even went back to stay with my golden retriever Karma when my flight was canceled and I was stuck out of town an additional night. I will definitely be having Val stay with my fur babies again the next time I’m away.”

About: Ive always preferred animals to people. As a dog groomer of 4 1/2 years, I’ve seen dogs so small they can nearly fit in the palm of your hand, and dogs so big we need 3 people to lift them into the tub. I’ve dogsat for my coworkers as well as clients of the shop. I’ve dogsat as many as 8 dogs for my coworker, and as few as one:) As of right now I’m not working, so for the most part I have an almost free schedule:) Because of my partners job I have to come back to my apartment to feed and check on our cats. I also have certain appointments that may fall on days I’m dogsitting, but those often don’t exceed 2 hours:) When able, I prefer the people I pet sit for to write down any specific instructions like how much food and when, any medications, any extra house care like watering plants etc. I can crate your dog if needed and take them on walks. My care is personalized to you and your pets needs:)

“Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!”
