House Sitting in Tassajara

“Laura was fantastic. She cared for our dog like her own and made sure to give us great daily updates while we were out of the country. She even cleaned the house, which was amazing to come home to after a long trip. We will definitely be rebooking with Laura in the future. She created a great friendship with our dog and we are so thankful!”

“Vanessa was super reliable and our dogs took to her very easily. She clearly enjoyed spending time with our dogs, and even offered to water our plants, and roll out the garbage bin. She's awesome!”

“Trevor is wonderful! He stayed with our dogs over Xmas and not only took great care of ours dogs but also our house! With all the rain and muddy paws he had to deal with, our house was clean without a paw print in site! He is a great communicator and very responsive to text. Best of all the dogs love him. Our older dog who does not like to walk with anyone outside our family, walks with him happily! 5 stars across the board! Highly recommend.”

“Kim was wonderful with our 14 year old Boston Terrier. He needs extra care, and medications throughout the day, and Kim did a great job of ensuring he had all his meds and meals. Kim was dependable, friendly and clearly a dog lover. Chief was so comfortable with her. She also sent us updates and pictures to let us know how he was doing. We got to go away on our trip knowing that Chief would be in great hands with Kim. We look forward to having Kim take care of Chief again. Thank you Kim for caring so much for our precious Chief.”

“Anya was really wonderful! We got updates often on our dog Rosie and she was very responsive. She has a very calm, warm energy about her that was a great fit for our Rosie. I will definitely have her watch our pooch again!”

About: Having grown up with both Labs and Shepherds, I am very comfortable being around all sorts of dogs. I started dog sitting while I was in high school and loved the opportunity to get to know other breeds. I am experienced in sitting for dogs of all sizes, dog walking, and giving medication. I don’t currently have a dog of my own, so welcome any chance I get to care for others while their owners are away! I work Monday-Friday at a preschool, but have flexibility during my lunch hour if local. Mondays, I am off by 3:30, and am completely open on weekends. While caring for your pets, I will always treat them as if they were my own. Every family has their own special routine, and I find that very important to follow to ensure each and every dog feels as comfortable as they can while their owners are away.

“Kristi has been one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. From the start, she was incredibly accommodating, experienced, and knowledgeable about the different needs of our pets. You can tell she really understands and loves animals. She was attentive, caring, and treated both our pets and our home with so much respect. Honestly, I don’t even think our pets missed us because they were cared for so well. Kristi went above and beyond every step of the way, and I’ll absolutely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”

“We couldn’t be more pleased and appreciative to leave our Lilly with Brittany. So comforting to know she is being cared for by such a professional and pet loving person. 5 Stars and would give her more if we could!”

“Eric was fantastic and communicated with me through the entire trip including many pictures of my fur babies. He was great taking care of my geriatric dog and puppy alike.”

About: I have three rescue fur babies that live their best lives and consider my clients to be an extended part of my little family. I even have a sign on my desk that says, “I work hard so my dogs can have a better life.” I am a health care leader who recently relocated to California and I am available to care for your pet Monday-Sunday. I provide services in the Danville and San Ramon area. **House Sitting:** For overnight stays, I require a brief meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure it’s a good fit for everyone. I also ask that the space I’ll be using (bedroom and bathroom) be prepared with fresh linens for my stay. I’m very comfortable in lived-in homes, but I do ask that the environment be generally clean and safe so I can focus on providing the best care for your pet. If I feel that the setup isn’t a good fit, I may respectfully decline the booking. I’m a retired United States Air Force veteran and take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of your home and pets. I’m happy to provide a current background check, credit check, drug screening, and references upon request. I also encourage you to review my client feedback to get a sense of the care and consistency I provide.

“Natasha took such great care of our dog, Chico, while we were away. We really appreciated all the photo updates and check-ins she sent throughout the stay, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Chico was happy and well cared for. She was also very respectful with our home, which we truly appreciated.”

About: I’ve spent my teen years taking care of other people’s pets and house-sitting, making sure everything is kept in good shape! I’m responsible, reliable, and will keep a house in good shape. I’ve always had animals and have two cats, two dogs, and two guinea pigs. Both my dogs are American Staffys, so I’m no stranger to dogs that require extra attention and exercise! I would also like to add that while on my profile there aren’t any pictures of me and the pets in a single frame, I included pictures of multiple that I’ve pet sit for, and some of my own as well. I am happy to provide references. Currently, I’ve just graduated high school early, and am starting college in NYC in the fall. In the meantime, I plan to house/pet sit as a meaningful way to spend my time! Currently, my only occupied weekdays are Tuesdays and Thursdays, however only for a few hours, other than that my schedule is completely open. In my client’s home, I will respect their wishes in how their pet is to sleep, eat, play, and in what way they get their exercise.

“This is our second time working with Diana and we can’t recommend her enough. Our old dogs can be pretty high maintenance, but she does a great job caring for them when we’re away. Thank you!”

About: Since I was a kid, I’ve taken care of dogs from small dachshunds to big huskies. The longest I’ve taken care of dogs were two huskies who lived up to be nearly 17 years old ever since they were nearly a year old. Due to health complications, I took responsibility to provide medicine in their meals, trips to the vet, bathing them, and giving 5 eye drops a day to one of them. I’m also capable of bathing dogs and brushing them, whether it be in a bath tub or a garden hose outside. I’m currently job hunting for part-time jobs, so I am currently available for the afternoons during week/weekends. I’m available for during the week, from Monday until Saturday. If I’m needed during the mornings, feel free to reach out to me to coordinate. I have a fenced yard and a wooden door on side at home to prevent dogs from running towards the street when locked. l’m capable of providing meals, topical tick medicine, walks, car rides, baths, brushing, and playtime. I’m also capable of giving eye drops and mixing medicine into food for dogs.

“I definitely recommend Anne and would use her again. She came over for meet and great and asked good questions, took notes and was attentive to our dog's routine. Her communication was good and fast and she sent lots of pics and videos which we appreciated.”

Alison E.

“Had a great experience. Our 2 huskies are very much like siblings, complete opposites of each other. Daryl was great at making sure everything was clear ahead of time, adapted to small situations during and communicating throughout. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.”

Joshua B.

“Jada was wonderful! She sent regular updates and took such great care of all our animals. Our home was in perfect condition when we came home. And most importantly our animals were well loved and taken care of. We would definitely recommend her!”

About: Hi! My name is Zoey, and I am a 21-year-old looking for opportunities to make sure your dog gets what they need while you are away! I've taken care of dogs for many years, but have taken more official paid positions in the last 4. Recently, I have worked to board dogs for families around my college town for periods of up to 6 hours to allow these families to go out for dinners, to the movies, and more without the need to worry about their dogs at home. I have walked dogs for local families regularly, helped take care of special needs dogs on check-ins (such as those with neurogenic bladder), and have dropped by houses to feed, play, and give love and affection to their dogs. When I was 12 years old, my sister and I took it upon ourselves to train our neighbor's golden retriever, Sandy Cheeks, to heel so that we could take her on walks and she would be easier to handle. We successfully managed to teach her, not just how to heel, but also how to come when called, shake, and roll over (quite a feat since many goldens don't love to learn how to roll over). Since then, I have loved learning how to handle dogs of all types, working with slightly reactive dogs, to energetic dogs that don't know their own strength. I am a dog enthusiast! All my life, I have loved dogs so much, but my parents were allergic and refused to get a pet. Finally, in my senior year of high school, my parents got a medium-sized golden doodle and surprised my sister and me. I cried. I can not express the level of joy I experience around dogs. Many of my friends could attest to the connection I have with dogs when I meet them. They are shocked by how much their dogs love me right away. What they don’t know is that I have carefully researched ways to approach dogs and read their body language to determine how they would like to be interacted with. I am a researcher at heart. I am an undergrad in college who has worked on multiple graduate-level research projects in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, biology, and sports studies. When I fell in love with animals, I made it a mission to know how to handle them and treat them with the care they deserve. Where to pet the dog, how to walk up to a dog, what sort of eye contact to make with the dog; these are all examples of how I have learned to pay attention to dogs and respect their boundaries in order to create deep bonds. I am my dog's safe place; she will come and sit between my legs when overwhelmed because she trusts me to protect her and not to treat her the way she needs to be treated at that moment. I would bring this level of care, passion, and enthusiasm to every workday and hope to strengthen the care and play experience of all dogs. I have worked with dogs of many breeds and many ages with many different needs. I have experience with nervous dogs, hyperactive dogs, reactive dogs, super intelligent dogs, stubborn dogs, and hypoallergenic dogs. I am an athlete, and my athletic and strength training have allowed me to handle strong dogs on lead, heavy dogs, and aggressive dogs that pull or suddenly jerk. My athleticism is particularly handy with highly energetic breeds. My own dog's favorite hobby is getting chased around by me or chasing after me. I have also been known to take dogs on runs with me or hikes. If your dog has a particular routine that involves going for a morning run, I would be the perfect candidate to keep that habit up while you're away! I have held many part-time jobs, and I am consistent and reliable. I am a great candidate to take care of your dog in any way. Consider me for all your pet care needs! I am an early riser! If you'd like a walk for your pet, morning, noon, and afternoon walks are the best! I like to schedule my pet care throughout my day, such as in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon. It depends on what pet care you need from me, but for a home drop-in, I prefer to have time to take your pup out, feed them if necessary, get them used to my presence, calmed down, and give them a little treat before I take off. I am free for a large majority of the time. I work several part-time jobs at the moment, so scheduling around shorter shifts is no problem for me. I am extremely responsible with other people's properties. I am a detail-oriented person and not one to make mistakes or leave a mess when in another person's space. I follow the philosophy: leave every place better than you entered. In this case, I would leave your home better by giving your dogs care. When your pet is with me, their safety and emotional state are my number one priority. If I need to transport your pet anywhere, I am an excellent driver and have never once been ticketed or gotten into an accident. For walks, I have experience with animal safety and protection from other pets and wild animals. With small dogs, you never have to worry about a potential coyote attack or a larger breed biting the dog. I take dog safety very seriously and prepare for every walk with proper equipment, extra food for the dog, extra poop bags, and water. I will always switch to walking a dog or multiple dogs on the inside of me when passing other animals. I am also experienced using treats to maintain a dog's attention. I will never force your dog into any situation that their body language tells me they are not okay with. I am detail-oriented and good at shutting down potentially dangerous situations before they occur.

About: With over five years of pet care experience, I got used to pet sit both in France and California. Taking good care of all kind of pets, i know how to adapt and build trust. I offer personalized attention and gentle handling to ensure their comfort and well-being. My commitment to building strong bonds with pets goes along with my flexibility in meeting individual needs. As a 9-to-5 worker in a pet-friendly office, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for walks and visits before and after work, as well as in the evenings and on weekends. This allows me to give your pet the attention and care they deserve without feeling rushed. Whether it’s a morning stroll or an evening play session, I’m dedicated to making your pet's routine as comfortable and enjoyable as possible! ( I can bring your pet along if they’re comfortable in an office environment!) I prioritize safety and trust in every pet care situation, whether at my home or yours. In my home, I have a secure space free from hazards, with cozy areas for relaxation and play. I ensure all pets have access to fresh water, and I keep a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable. At your home, I respect your pet’s environment, maintaining their usual routines and providing a familiar atmosphere. I always take the time to discuss any specific needs or preferences, ensuring your pet feels safe and loved. Regular updates and communication are also key (i love sending pictures!), so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!
