House Sitting in Val Verde

“Joseph has helped us three times now. He house sits for us and he’s always there when he says he will be there. The dogs love him. I feel a peace of mind when he’s stays with them. He sends pictures and updates.”

“We will definitely hire Caitlyn again. She handled 4 senior dogs and 1 energetic five year old dog beautifully. The seniors all require medications, one needs insulin injections, so ya, she handled a lot, reported on how they were, walked them. We couldn’t be more pleased.”

“Liv was extremely professional and provided all the help I needed. She was polite, timely and understanding. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She’s terrific!!”

Kathleen T.

“Graham was fantastic. Very personable, great with our pup, Midna, and he's an excellent communicator. He showed up early to meet us and Midna immediately loved him. We felt very comfortable trusting him with our dog and our home. We will happily use Graham again, and highly recommend him to anyone who wants someone trustworthy and kind to watch their pup. (Thanks Graham!)”

“Hailey was a big help to us this week and was able to stay in our home on a short notice. We have two older dogs and a cat. One dog is deaf and requires diapers, and another has just gone blind and Hailey handled these difficulties easily. Having Hailey around was a peace of mind that our pets weren’t lonely while we were gone and looked after. We also have a lot of plants, which Hailey watered and ensured didn’t die! We’ll definitely be rebooking!!”

“Alyssa took great care of our two goldens, she provided lots of updates and pictures. She did great with handling their medicine routines and both dogs were very comfortable with her. Thanks Alyssa!!”

Lauren S.

“Kaitlin was wonderful with Lucky! She is very punctual and responsible, and made sure to listen to Lucky's needs. She took very good care of him, and I was all relaxed when I was out. I will definitely get her again!”

Paromita D.

“Jeffrey was amazing! He kept us posted constantly while we were out of town. It helped us give us a peace of mind and we will definitely be booking him again in the near future.”

Natali P.

“Madalyn was fantastic with our pup, Midna (who absolutely loved her). She’s highly communicative, showed up on time, very sweet, and knowledgeable. Our pup is very high energy and Madalyn knew exactly how to calmly handle her. We couldn’t be happier to have found her. We highly recommend her.”

Jennifer B.

“Brigette was WONDERFUL housesitting our older dog, Floyd. He takes three medications at different times, is heat sensitive, and needs to go out frequently. Brigette handled it all masterfully in the middle of a heatwave! While Floyd was happy to see us when we got home, it was clear he was well taken care of!”

Eric B.

“Cat was wonderful! Our pets loved her from the moment she came for the meet and greet. She took great care of them while we were gone and provided daily updates. Cat is very trustworthy, punctual, and we plan on booking her again for the next time we travel. Highly recommend hiring Cat to take care of your fur babies!”

About: I've had experience caring for my own dogs and pet-sitting for friends, neighbors, and families! I am very patient with animals with behavioral issues, my own dog has anxiety and I understand that it takes time to build trust with new people. I'm always happy to play, give lots of love and special attention. I am staying in California for the summer between semesters, so my schedule is completely open for caring for pets. I'm happy to spend as much time as possible with animals and I'd love to be able to help people out that want the best for their pets! I make sure that the pets get enough exercise/time outside, that they're getting enough to eat and drink, and going to the bathroom regularly. I will clean up after any messes that they make, I know how anxiety or excitement can affect pets. I've had experience giving medication to dogs before, so I understand the schedule of that, if needed.

“Jenn was very communicative and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!”

Sarah F.

“Caleb was great! I had to leave early Friday and he was going to be at the house around 2. Since I left at 6 that morning he went ahead and got there a couple hours early to get the dogs out sooner with them being inside for 6+ hours. He kept me updated with messages, photos, and videos throughout his stay. I will definitely be booking with Caleb on my next trip!”

Daniel J.

“Kristine did a wonderful job caring for all of our pets! We have two dogs, a cat, and two hens -- and she took wonderful care of them while we were gone. She sent photos and videos every day, and let us know when they were fed. I never worried about them because she kept us updated so well. I will definitely be turning to Kristine to take care of our pets in the near future!”

About: I've been sitting big breed dogs and have had them since I was a kid. If I could, I would have a dozen of them, but for now, I will babysit your dog. I work from home, and my partner also has a flexible schedule, so they are usually around too, providing your dog with companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. Walks, backyard playtime, enrichment, and plenty of snuggles are part of my daily routine. We value kindness, inclusivity, respect, and emotional safety. Our home is a judgment-free zone for people and pets. I have a fenced yard, nothing to jump off, and a friendly rescue yellow Labrador/pittie mix who loves to play with dog visitors. He is also great at reading dog body language and at giving new visitors their space until they are ready to engage. I’m experienced with dogs who have restrictions - physical, food sensitivities or allergies - or just need extra time settling in. As a former volunteer with Southern California Labrador Rescue, I fostered and pulled dogs from shelters. I understand the unique needs — and big hearts — that often come with rescue dogs. I love both in-home boarding and house sitting. Staying in a client’s home gives me a peaceful change of scenery for my writing and allows dogs to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m available to house sit throughout Southern California. I work from home full-time, Monday-Friday. On weekends, we typically garden, cook, and go for walks or hikes. Snuggles, backyard playtime, and lots of interaction time are a critical part of my day with your dog. I am a homeowner with a fenced yard in a gated neighborhood, a rescue mutt to keep your dog company, and a cat. My teenager is also a dog lover who spoils our Charlie. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. I have dog beds, lots of water bowls, and time for pets. Our dog is a big hunk of love at 116 lbs, and I have always had big dogs. He LOVES having dog friends at the house.

“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”

About: I provide structured, calm care for dogs of all ages. I focus on behavior, not just supervision—leash manners, basic obedience, and reducing jumping or pulling. I use clear markers and consistent routines so dogs understand expectations quickly. I’m attentive, reliable, and communicate clearly with owners. Comfortable with energetic, anxious, or large dogs. My goal is a calm, well-behaved dog—not just a tired one. My schedule is flexible and built around pet care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including mornings, evenings, and last-minute bookings. Walks, check-ins, or longer stays fit easily into my routine. I keep consistent timing for feeding, exercise, and training so dogs stay calm and predictable. I prioritize safety and structure. I follow your dog’s routine, use clear rules, and supervise interactions closely. I’m comfortable with crates if needed and maintain a calm environment to reduce stress. I monitor behavior, avoid risky situations, and provide regular updates. Clean, controlled, and reliable care at all times.
