House Sitting in Valley Center

“Josette is a dog whisperer! We have two very active young cocker spaniels. If you know the breed you know how excitable they are. These two are particularly so, as they are also rescues from Mongolia via the wonderful LA-based Camp Cocker Rescue. They are always so happy to see Josette, which includes lots of jumping, and Josette calms them right down. We feel so comfortable leaving our pups with Josette. She is so on top of the all the details of the dogs. We know they are so well taken care of, very safe and very loved. When we return from out of town the dogs are always happy, and the house is immaculate. Couldn’t be happier with her caregiving! Also love her responsiveness when we reach out to her! XOXO”

“The 3 night pet sitting assignment went well with Brandi. She was very communicative with texts and videos of the dogs during her stay. The home was left clean and tidy on my return. This was my first time using Rover and I am impressed with the ease of use and quality of sitters on the system. I will definitely look for Brandi's availability in the future if and when I need to use Rover again”

“Erin was amazing! She took great care of our pups and our house, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. This was our first time trying in-home pet sitting, and with such a positive experience we look forward to welcoming Erin many times in the future!”

“Gabi was an amazing pet sitter! My boyfriend and I were away for a week, and she took such great care of our cat and dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. One of the things I appreciated most was how many pictures she sent—it was so nice to see our pets happy and well cared for while we were gone. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We came home to two very happy pets, and we would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a small child but as I’ve gotten older I’ve become extremely interested in the training and grooming side of things. I’ve got experience with dogs ranging from 3 months to as old as 15 years old. I myself go hiking and walking with my dogs (2 year old Australian cattle dog mix) on a daily basis so I’m familiar with regularly exercising dogs. I’ve walked dogs for family members and friends so I’m familiar with walking dogs of all sizes, shapes and temperaments. I’m currently unemployed so I spend more of my time walking and hiking with my personal dogs, I’m very focused on dog training as well. I typically spend about 4-6 hours a day out with my dogs. I’ve been a pet sitter for various family members, sometimes staying with their pets for up to a week. Daily walks, mental stimulation and some training goes a long way for a pup being taken care of by someone else!

“Tiffany helped us with an emergency overnight when our flight got canceled and did a great job taking care of our pets! Great communication and very reliable.”

“Our Husky Duke took instantly to Jan and it was clear he felt very comfortable with her. Jan’s confidence and calm nature made us feel safe leaving our fur baby for a long weekend (we just adopted him a few months ago, so I was very worried about leaving him for the first time). She walked him multiple times a day (which he needs!) and was very good about following the care instructions we left. Jan quickly responded every time I reached out for updates, and my Aunt who lives next door was very impressed with Jan’s attentiveness. I highly recommend booking with Jan, and I will be calling her next time we travel.”

About: With over 10 years of dedicated experience in dog walking and sitting, I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry companions. Whether it's a quick stroll around the block or a longer adventure, I ensure your dogs receive the exercise, socialization, and attention they need to thrive. In my 40 years of life, I have raised 9 different dogs as my family. I currently work from home and have extra time and breaks to pet sit and also dog walk. I definitely have extra time to give your babies love. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of space in my house for your fur babies. I have one fur baby Jack Russel who loves all animals. I can crate your animal if needed.

About: Working at a dog groomers (Raining Cats and Dogs) taught me a lot about patience, attention to detail, and how to read each pet’s behavior and needs. I learned how to handle dogs of all temperaments, from nervous puppies to aging seniors, and developed a deep understanding of their needs! Alongside grooming, I've also provided personalized pet sitting services through Nextdoor, building strong bonds with pets and their owners! My main goal is to provide the most professional, compassionate care for your animals! Currently, I am self-employed as a homebase nail technician. This is the reason why I do not provide any at home pet sitting or boarding services. However, on the bright side, I am able to create my own schedule! This helps me accommodate to your personalized routines or needs. I offer dog walking, drop, ins, and pet sitting services. I do not have a preference on height, size, or breed all animals are welcome! I also have experience with cats and more than happy to take care of your cat as well.

“Vanessa stayed with our dogs while we were away for a wedding. She did a great job taking care of our pups. We have a 4 month old puppy and she did wonderful taking care of her. Puppies are a lot of work and we were so relieved to see that they had a great weekend. Thanks Vanessa for taking great care of our dogs while we were away!”
