House Sitting in Surf City

“Kevin did a wonderful job with our girls. They can be selective with who they meet and they took right to him. He is the dog whisperer! The updates we received gave us piece of mind while traveling. We plan on using Kevin again for future trips.”

“My boys, Chopper and Duke were so grateful to have someone as attentive as Catherine taking care of them for almost 10 days. They are German Shepherds, so their separation anxiety is high, and it was reassuring to know they weren’t alone, especially at night. We would definitely rebook Catherine if needed in the future!”

“Olivia was an absolute angel. She was very communicative and sent us several updates for our pets letting us know they were happy and safe. I think they were a little disappointed for us to come home because they enjoyed how much she spoiled them with attention and cuddles. 😂 It was so nice not to have to kennel them away from home for our vacation. We are first time Rover users and we definitely appreciate how easy this process was.”

“Angela was awesome! Our puppies loved her and she did a great job. She exceeded our expectations even providing some puppy training during her stay. We will definitely use Angela again!!”

“David was fantastic with my senior dog!”

“Trista was perfect and very responsible with our dog. We will be hiring her again soon.”

“I have known Kar for her entire life and can confidently say that she will take amazing care of your dog! She has always been an animal lover and will treat your pet as if it were her own. Responsible, caring, and qualified are just a few words to describe Kar. Whenever I am away, Kar is the only person I will trust with my pets, I strongly recommend her!”

“Skylar took great care of our dogs and our house while we were out of town. She was very communicative and updated us on how they were doing all weekend which we appreciated!”

“Traci took great care of our pups at our house while we were away for the weekend. She came to meet them ahead of time, sent plenty of pics, and communicated well. Also made sure they were let out frequently.”

About: Surrounded by the delightful chaos of wagging tails and gentle purrs, I've been a lifelong animal lover. Our home is a vibrant mix of the playful antics of cats and the loyal companionship of dogs. My husband and I are proud parents to Stanley, our beloved Boston Terrier who's been with us since he was a pup—now nearly 13 years old! Adding to the joyful mayhem, we welcomed Beau, a 70lb Black and Tan Coonhound Mix, into our family last year through adoption. Recognizing the profound role our furry friends play in our lives, I've extended my passion for pets by frequently dog-sitting for friends when they travel. I'm no stranger to the energy and love that our four-legged family members bring into our lives. With daily 2-mile walks with Beau, I ensure our pets stay active and happy. My active lifestyle extends to playtime too, and with two small children, there's never a shortage of energy and enthusiasm in our home. I'm excited to share this love and care with your furry friends, ensuring they feel right at home and receive the attention they deserve. As a devoted pet owner, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I prioritize scheduled feeding times, ensuring my furry friends receive nutritious meals. Regular exercise is a fundamental part of our routine, whether it's daily walks, playtime sessions, or interactive activities that keep them mentally stimulated. In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize the well-being and comfort of the pets under my care. For in-home pet care, I maintain a structured routine that includes regular feeding times, play sessions, and walks to cater to their physical and mental needs. In my own home, I provide a secure and pet-friendly environment, ensuring they have designated spaces for relaxation and play. I incorporate their routines seamlessly into my daily schedule, creating a sense of familiarity and stability. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I adapt to their unique environment and routines. This includes following specific feeding schedules, maintaining cleanliness, and providing companionship to alleviate any stress or anxiety. I strive to create a seamless transition for the pets, maintaining their established habits and surroundings. Whether in my home or a client's, my approach is centered on personalized attention, love, and a commitment to ensuring the pets feel safe, happy, and cherished throughout their time under my care.

“Breanna was the best! Responsive, flexible, and completely reliable- she was able to house-sit our new puppy so that I could leave the house for longer than two hours!! She was overly communicative throughout the day and made me feel comfortable leaving her and the puppy together. Would highly recommend for your pet-sitting needs.”

About: I have been a dog lover since the day I was born! I myself own two beautiful German Shepherds (Hank and Hali) and love spending time with them. I do have experience with reactive dogs and have been taught how to handle reactive situations in an appropriate manner. I am available to walk or check in on your beloved pet whenever needed! Rain or shine, I will be there for you and your pet! Before walking / caring for any pets I like to take the time to speak with the pet owner and ensure I know all of the important information regarding their animal.

“Bea is a bright, articulate, responsible young lady that loves caring for plants and animals. She will ensure your pets enjoy the best quality of life in the comfort of familiar surroundings while you, the pet owner, are away. You can trust her to care for your pets and home while you are away.”

“Jon was amazing with my dogs. He sent pictures and updates. This was my first time using Rover.Thanks again!”

About: I have over 30 years experience with all types of animals. I've owned mostly large breeds, Rottweilers mainly. I've also have owned parrots, cats, turtles, hamsters, took care of a Kinkajou ( small monkey) and more! I love looking into the souls of animals through their eyes. Giving them as much love and attention they deserve. After all, they are human beings in my eyes. They all deserve the best care possible.

“did a great job of taking care of our puppy and cat!!”

“Kelsey is a responsible animal caregiver that has a lifetime of experience with dogs or all breeds, cats and other types of animals. She treats them better than most people treat children. She enjoys playing with them and keeping them entertained and is capable of caring for the most complexly needy animals (meds, special diets or schedules).”

I have experience with many different breeds of dogs of all different ages, and absolutely love cats! I currently have one cat, Missy, who is a Maine Coon mix. She is the queen of my household and is spoiled beyond belief! Feel free to contact me with any questions, or to book a sit!

With a pile of toys, three cat trees, and many treats, she lives the life!

“Samantha is awesome. My pups were so well taken care of while I was gone. They didn't even go nuts when I got home, like they normally do. You could tell they loved Sam. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
