House Sitting The Colony

“This was our first time using a pet sitter, and we cant really say enough good things about Chelsea. She was patient enough and was able to keep up with our high energy puppy. He liked her since he mer her at the meet and greet. Definitely recommend her and her husband Richard. You can’t go wrong with them.”

“Marco was very helpful and accommodating with my schedule change. We met at my hotel for a quick meet and greet and then stayed in my room while I bounced around the city. He’s punctual, he pays attention and seems like a pretty trustworthy guy. He safely watched my dog sleep (her favorite hobby) and got her out for a quick walk which is all we needed. He has great communication and is quick to respond; also his rates are extremely reasonable for the service. I recommend you reach out to Marco if you need your dog watched while out visiting Disneyland or the greater Anaheim Resort Area.”

“Katrina is so kind and thoughtful. We were so happy with how our home and pup were cared for while we were away on vacation. Katrina sent lots of photos, and is quick and easy to communicate with. We’ll be booking again!”

“We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: Hello, my name is Maira and I’m a life long animal lover. I’ve had all kinds of pets and cared for everything from turtles to fish, hamsters and birds, a rabbit, cats and dogs. Although I love all animals, Dogs are where my heart melts! I’ve taken care of friend’s dogs as well as helped friends and family basic train their small and large breed dogs. I have 10+ years of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages including my 90lb high energy Doberman which taught me a lot. If you remember one thing from my page I hope it’s this; I will take care of your furry babies as if they were my own. Monday through Friday I am available 6:30am - 6:30pm to care for your furry family. Saturdays and Sundays I am available 7:00am -7:00pm. If you need me outside of this time frame please let me know. During a drop in visit, I let your fur child out for a potty break and ensure they have plenty of water, food, and treats (if you okay the treats before hand) then hang out, play, and love on them for the remainder of the 30mins. During a walk booking, I will pick up your dog for a walk around the neighborhood. Which can be part structural and part sniffing to mentally stimulate and not just physically work out. The goal is a happy healthy pupper (and yes a 10 y/o is still a pupper) you will receive photos of our adventures and a message informing you how your baby’s walk went. Rain or Shine! Your Dog’s safety is my top priority. If it’s too hot or it is raining we will alter our walks with either a rain jacket or walking indoors at a near by pet friendly store. I am prepared with towels, plenty of water and a pet first aid kit should we ever need anything.

“Tiffany was great with the girls. They were so happy when I returned from my trip, and she left the house very clean and tidy. Thank you Tiffany!”

About: I'm a dedicated dog owner myself so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I'm patient, attentive e and committed to making every walk safe, fun and stress free. I treat every dog like family. I balance my work schedule with pet care and always make time to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I carefully plan my days to ensure each dog receives safe, enjoyable walks and consistent attention. On walks, I focus on providing safe, enjoyable exercise tailored to each dog’s energy level. I always follow the owner’s routine and make sure pets return home happy and well cared for.

“Holly was the perfect house sitter for Lucy. She has a very calm and soft demeanor and Lucy was comfortable with her in no time at all. Holly was very attentive and responsive throughout the whole process and I was comfortable knowing I could reach her easily. I would definitely ask Holly to watch Lucy again and would highly recommend her to others looking for a trusted carer for their pets.”

“Ally was so wonderful again taking care of Ollie, and she even made the long drive up to our new home when we were in a bind trying to find someone more local for a weekend. Ally sends tons of updates and is very communicative. I highly recommend her!”

“Jacqueline is a very soft-spoken and kind lady who took care of our Nutella at our home for a little over two days. Our cat was very well cared for and we received multiple daily photos showing her activity, making us feel very comfortable about having left our cat in Jacqueline's care. She also took very good care of the home. We are very happy with the help Jacqueline gave us in caring for our cat when we were away and will easily consider her for the next time we have a similar need !”

About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for pets and homes for over 15 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, senior pets, medication administration, and multi-pet households. I’m excited to bring that experience to Rover and build lasting relationships with local pet families. (: FUN FACT: I have the same birthday as Caesar Milan, so I’m kinda like a dog whisperer 🤪 I’m a housewife with no pets or children of my own. I do theater every now and then but overall my schedule is wide open and ready to share the love and care necessary for your furry companion. I’m not sure why Rover says I don’t allow animals on the furniture. I don’t mind unless it’s a rule within your home to keep them down (: I will honor all of your wishes with caring for your loved one and treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced backyard and safe neighborhood for walks. Your furry friends will be protected and their comfort is always going to be top priority whether in your home or mine. (:

About: I have been surrounded by dogs through loved ones & friends. Over the time I have learned to love fur babies, & learn how they need love & compassion that we receive from them. I specialize in species dog that may be reactive, require companionship, mental stimulation , & medication. Walks will be supervised closely for any other surroundings. Happy to assure you that if need be, I can de-escalate a situation if another pet does come closer than they should be while we walk. Whether your fur baby is big or small, I will gladly work with them. Happy to work with puppies or seniors fur babies that need a little extra help. Just please be sure to leave detailed instructions of anything you feel I need to know. I’m currently attending school full time. Classes are Monday-Friday from 8:30a-1p. Open to coming before or after class to fit the needs your pet needs. I am unavailable from 5-6p. After 6:30p I’m more than happy to do late night potty breaks, walks, or company your pet. Caring for pets in our home are treated as family so should every pet in outside homes. Making sure they are fed, have water, played with (if they are super active), cleaned, & comfortable. Respecting not only the home but pets & owner as well. Hope to build trust with my clients by keeping communication, follow thorough instructions (when specified), and providing a safe space for your pet around me.

About: I've grown up with pets and have always been aware of each of their personalities and telling communication. Some prefer space and some prefer attention and I can easily provide either depending on the owners or pet's needs/wants. I work as a behavior technician and the summer schedule is slower. I still have 1-2 clients each day but only for 3-4 hours a day so I can easily take care of a pet and then go to my client, then come back. My weekends are always busy. I cannot take pets to my apartment since my floor does not allow pets with hardwood flooring, but I can go to the pets home, walk, take them in my car to go to a dog park/beach, and care for them in their own home. I respect the owners and pet's spaces because if it were my own, I would want trust in this relationship.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, reliability, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. With 10 years of experience in pet care, I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, administering basic medications, providing plenty of exercise and playtime, or simply offering a quick drop by for companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also believe communication is key, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to provide a dependable, stress-free experience for both you and your pet, creating a relationship built on trust, consistency, and genuine care. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I do everything I can to make both of you feel secure. Pet care is my full-time focus so I structure my daily routine around the pets in my care. Because I'm available throughout the day, I can provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I maintain a calm environment that helps pets feels comfortable and secure while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. Since caring for pets is my primary commitment, I have the flexibility to accommodate different schedules, energy levels, and special care needs. I understand that inviting a stranger into your home and trusting them with a beloved pet is a big responsibility, and I take that seriously. Building that trust and creating a safe environment for all parties is my top priority. Before each stay or drop in, I make sure I understand your pet's routine, personality, and any specific needs they may have. I follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and exercise routines to medications, allergies, and any household preferences. I also make sure doors, gates, and other areas of the home are secure so your pet stays safe at all times. I also treat every client's homes with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep the space clean and organized, follow any instructions provided, and make sure your home is cared for while you're away. Again, I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same care and attention they would get from a trusted family member.

She was also extremely attentive to my two babies. She treated them like her own. Her friendly energy made it easy for my babies to warm up to her right away. She communicated with me throughout her stay and provided updates that made me feel more comfortable. She is very professional and polite. I got so lucky I found her. I will definitely be booking with her again. She is reliable. I Highly recommend her. She is the best sitter! I was very pleased with her services.”
