“Thank you so much for taking great care of my cats! I really appreciate how quick you are to respond and how well you communicated while I was away. Made me feel good knowing they were in great hands.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, fish (both saltwater and freshwater), and small mammals as I’ve had all of them as pets or taken care of my friend's. As a teenager, I worked at a local kennel, gaining valuable experience with feeding routines, cleaning, and handling animals of all temperaments. I’ve also trained my own dogs, earning several first-place ribbons in competitions. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about animal care—whether it’s a walk around the block or providing loving companionship while you’re away! I am also experienced in giving subcutaneous fluids and administering all kinds of medications from shots to pills I currently work weekdays from 2-8:30pm along with some weekends, but weekends I am off by 3pm. I also have periods of time where I don’t work for a couple of weeks here and there. I can come morning, afternoon, and night any day I am willing to bring a small animal into my home as long as they are ok with another large dog and small cat who are very friendly. I do not have a yard, but walks are given multiple times a day and I have a decent sized 2 story townhome with dog parks and turn outs close by. If I am to go to your home, I can do anything and everything. I have experience with giving fluids to cats and dogs for health issues and administering all kinds of medication

“Nancy and her house was so fun for my dog. It was like a fun camp for him. She obviously loves dogs and I am now very happy to leave my dog with her again.”

“What can I say that hasn't already been said? Olivia is well-loved on here for a reason! She is warm, caring and responsible. You will have nothing to worry about even if you are the most anxious type of pet parent, as I am after trying so many sitters over the years and some of them have not been great. These days I have a very shy and skittish type of kitty, he wouldn't come out at all (even after several days) for the last sitter I tried. With Liv, it's a totally different story. He not only ate well (which was an issue the last time I tried to leave him), but also he came out for his dinner while she was there, and allowed pets!! She made an effort to show that she was reading the detailed instructions I left, communicated exactly how everything went with notes and photos, and just generally has a gentle, sweet energy that would put anyone at ease. She clearly takes pride in doing things well, and it shows that she loves animals. I feel lucky to have found her to care for my little guy!”

“Alex went above and beyond in caring for our kitties! He played with our menace of a kitten to the point he was snuggling and sleepy (which is a large task) and had our incredibly timid cat eating consistently while we were gone. He sent thorough updates with adorable pictures and left our home in pristine condition. We couldn’t recommend Alex more for other pet owners and will be using his services in the future. He is communicative, thoughtful, follows directions explicitly, and we felt completely at ease with him caring for not only our cats but our home.”

About: I have cared for animals my whole life! I currently have one cat but have had dogs cats, and turtles. I am very attentive. I try to communicate with each animal on their level. It's important to me that they feel heard. Whether they're trying to show me something that interests them, or worries them. I am always watching and listening. I work part-time right now, so I have a lot of time during the week to care for your pets. We will just need to find a time that suits both out needs. Firstly, I will follow any specialized directions you give me. You know your pets better than anyone! Secondly, I've cared for pets pretty much my entire life and their safety is my #1 priority. I know how to keep an eye on them- even the mischievous ones haha!

About: I have had pets of my own, they were my besties. These days, I get my fill delighting in other people's pet(s). In addition to having my own animals over the years, I've cared for a multitude of pets, including dogs, cats, fishes, turtles, horses, rabbits, and more. I find that pets have such a unique and similar personalities. Some interesting quirks and characteristics have made a lasting impression. I have experience with big and small dogs, young and senior dogs, walking, running, adventuring with dogs both on and off leash, administering medications and supplements, maintaining routines, and providing companionship and attentive care. I'm gentle, observant, and sensitive to each animal's individual needs and comfort level. I enjoy nature and animal in general, and appreciate quiet, peaceful, sanctuary-like homes and tend to be very respectful of both the animals and the spaces entrusted to me. I pay attention to safety, so owner’s can be at ease and have a peace of mind. It’s nice when I am able to get into a rhythm and established semblance of steady routine of feeding, quality time, affection, exercise, sleep, relaxation, and companionship with the animals. I'm gentle, observant, and sensitive to each animal's individual needs and comfort level.I pay attention to safety, so owner’s can be at ease and have a peace of mind.

About: With three decades of hands-on experience, I’ve had the joy and responsibility of caring for a wide range of animals and homes. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication, multi-pet households to quiet countryside retreats, I’ve built a reputation for being dependable, detail-oriented, and deeply caring. Over the years, I’ve cared for: • Dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels • Cats with a wide range of personalities and needs • Rabbits, turtles, fish, and other small animals • Homes big and small—always kept clean, secure, and well-tended What sets me apart is my consistency and calm presence. I show up on time, follow routines as requested, and keep in regular communication while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medication, watering plants, bringing in the mail, or offering your pets lots of playtime and affection, I approach each sit with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own home and animals. Over the years, many of my clients have become repeat families and even friends—because they know they can trust me to show up with integrity, kindness, and competence every single time. I am a yoga facilitator and artist focused on intentional living. I love nature wanders and being present with all creatures I get to encounter. I follow each animal’s schedule—morning walks, feeding, medication, play, and check-ins—while keeping the home clean and calm. I stay observant and responsive, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. In your home or mine, I follow each pet’s routine with care—feeding, walks, meds, play, and rest. I create a calm, safe space and stay attentive to their needs, keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

Since I am a very active person I find it quite lovely to have a reason to get up and out to enjoy the day. I have a fenced yard, and a very friendly female dog. Breakfast is at 9am, followed by walk and play time at 11am. Then some water, and rest. Dinner is at 5:30, followed by one more walk and/or play. I love a bed dog, but also respect kennel training, or if the owner prefers the dog sleep on their bed.

“Paula did a wonderful job looking after our cat while we were away. She sent timely messages and pictures, played with our normally shy cat, and even made sure all was well in our home while we were away. We will certainly contact her again for our next trip.”

“Alessandro is wonderful! I am a pretty high-maintenance cat mom - obsessed with my kitty, etc. Alessandro was great at quelling my fears at leaving my cat and sending me lots of photos and updates so I could relax while I was away. My cat takes oral medication, so it's very important that she gets it regularly and correctly, and Alessandro was great at understanding the many directions for giving her Rx, vitamins, food, lots of pets, etc. I really appreciated how he took my 6-page document detailing Curly's care in stride. haha. We will absolutely be using him again. Thanks again for caring for Curly!”

About: I’ve always had an interest in animals. In high school I worked at a vet grooming establishment. I’ve worked at PETCO dog grooming. I’ve house sat and walked dogs on a daily basis for my sisters two rescue dogs for the last few years. I have taken them to the vet, given them medication, bathed and groomed them. We have gone on little excursions to Fort Funston, as well as the dog park. I enjoy taking care of them so much. They bring me so much joy. ** Willing to host dog or cat siblings. I live very near to Ocean Beach and look forward to taking dogs for long walks there! I’m hoping to make this my full-time job so I’m open for any availability. I am eager to get started, and can’t wait to meet your four legged friend. And you of course.! 😃 I live very near to Ocean Beach and hope to take your dog on nice long walks along the beach. If I am caring for your cat, I will have all the necessary equipment to do so. Litter box, food, water bowl, etc. I also have invested in some equipment for bathing and grooming dogs such as clippers, a hair dryer, shampoo, and conditioner. If that’s something you would like as well.

About: I have many great references for house sitting. I can accommodate dogs of all life stages as well as dogs with special needs or diets. I would be happy to send you photos of your dog during their stay. I am open to negotiations on rates if you have a special circumstance you would like to discuss. I can also provide housekeeping. If I am at your home for more than 3 days I will typically do a clean for no charge. I charge an hourly rate to clean otherwise and can provide references if there are any chores you would like me to handle while you are away. I am a trusted licensed Realtor. My schedule is somewhat flexible. I can accommodate pick up or drop off. Let me know your situation and I can find the best way to work with you. I will treat your pet like my own and give them the attention and care they deserve! I do not enter any areas of the home that the client requests.

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 5 years old. I love pets and currently have two Guinea pigs! I’ve taken care of elder dogs, puppies, dogs with health problems, usually for friends and family. No pet is a bad fit for me :) As a PhD student, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am available when most aren’t. I can accommodate pet care into my schedule because I have the freedom to choose my hours. I always try my hardest to meet my clients expectations. I check-in with owners to make sure our needs and responsibilities are being met so you can have the peace of mind that your space and pet are well taken care of and respected.

About: Hello, friend!!! I have been housesitting and caring for other's pets, homes, and gardens since my teen years. As a writer I spend a lot of time working from home, meaning that I will largely be available throughout the day to give your pets all the attention they need and ease the discomfort of having their loved one (you!) away for a while. Staying attuned to an animal's needs comes naturally for me as it brings me fulfillment as well. Cats are my absolute favorite - I have had a cat as a companion in every stage of my life and cared for many more. I have cared for many dogs as well, but mostly quieter dogs with a "cat-like" demeanor. I have sensory sensitives so I am unable to care for younger and more energetic dogs that bark a lot. (Barking because excited for certain activities is expected and fine, though). Other pets I have owned and cared for include smaller pets such as goldfish, bearded dragons, hermit crabs, snakes, and tarantulas. I have great respect for what a home means and treat every space I am in with reverence, keeping it clean and cared for. I also have light experience gardening and am comfortable watering a mass of plants! I have housesat several locations that have an entire array of potted plants. I always make sure they are well tended to and kept as lively as ever! A little bit about me - I am a 35 year old writer and performance artist. (They/them pronouns). I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, and attended college in Santa Fe, New Mexico where I received my BA in Creative Writing and Literature. I remained in the beautiful high desert for close to a decade in earlier adulthood. The culture and gorgeous landscapes of both Northern California and New Mexico have deeply informed who I am. I've also worked in childcare and children's entertainment. Being a caretaker has always come naturally to me and often brings me a sense of fulfillment. Some of my favorite activities (other than writing and performing) are hiking, reading, dancing, reading tarot, and making art. Any of my close loved ones will tell you I am a calm, kind, humorous, intelligent, and thoughtful person who approaches all things in life from the heart and with great intention. I can't wait to meet you and give your beloved pets the attention and love they deserve while you go on your next great adventure! Since I mostly work from home writing, pet care easily fits into my daily schedule. Occasionally, I have live performances and community events but when I am needed all day elsewhere I typically know well in advance and can communicate with you effectively to make sure this housesit is still a good fit for both of us and especially your beloved pet! All pet care will take place in your home, so I will keep your pets' routine as stated, ensuring that nothing is disrupted for them aside from your departure. Plants and home will also be cared for as you would care for it. Cleanliness is part of my values, so you can expect your home to be as organized and neat as you left it. I do not do deep cleaning such as vacuuming unless previously negotiated.

“Monica did a great job. My cat loved her! She sent lots of pictures and I am totally satisfied.”
