House Sitting Vineyards-Avalon

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Samoyed, which has given me a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, their energy levels, grooming needs, and daily routines. In addition to Samoyeds, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to follow care instructions closely. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level, whether that means energetic walks, gentle playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. I also help reinforce basic routines such as leash manners, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication if needed. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I work part-time as a dental assistant, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins thoughtfully throughout my day and week. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets always receive attentive, unrushed care. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and cats. I care for pets with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether in the pet’s home or during visits, I follow your instructions carefully, ensure the environment is secure, and supervise pets at all times. I pay attention to each animal’s needs and personality, providing food, water, playtime, or rest as appropriate. I also send updates to keep owners informed and reassured.

“Thanks again for taking such great care of Walter, Alexus! Can’t recommend you enough to anyone else that is looking for a reliable, caring, sitter for their pet :).”

“Charlie was fantastic! He took great care of all of our pets and ensured that they were loved and tended to throughout the day. He went above and beyond and visited the pets twice before taking on the task of handling them on his own, which shows his dedication to his clients. He sent tons of pictures and videos to us throughout and we would book him again if available in the future! :) He was also very quick to communicate throughout the entire experience to add onto this!”

“Sophia took care of bobo for a day while we had a family outing, the comms were great -she was very sweet with taking care of him and was very attentive to our concerns for his routine. Sophia is going to be our regular sitter !”

“Aurora was truly a gift having her dog-sit our precious girl Sadie. She was caring, responsive, gave many updates throughout the long weekend and made me feel at ease while I was away knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Aurora. You are top on my list for future dog-sitting needs.”

About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have experience with cats, birds, and dogs. I've owned and cared for cats and birds, which has given me a strong understanding of their daily needs, behaviors, and personalities. I have also provided in-home care for dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends when needed. My availability makes it easy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I also offer in-home pet sitting, which allows your pet to remain in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. Staying in a familiar environment can help reduce stress and anxiety while you're away, giving your pet the comfort and consistency they deserve. I'm committed to providing attentive, reliable care that fits both your schedule and your pet's individual needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special routines that help your pet feel comfortable. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and keep a close eye on your pet during walks and playtime. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with the same respect I would expect for my own and always leave it clean and tidy. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience.

“We were lucky to find Saturday. Our dogs felt very comfortable around her from the first moment. They could feel her love for pets. She took great care of them and of our home.”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and proud dog parent to two adorable long-haired dachshunds (ages 7 and 8), so I’m very familiar with big personalities in small bodies—think stubborn moments, a little sass, and lots of clingy cuddles! Beyond my own pups, I’ve cared for senior pets, including regularly cat-sitting for an older cat, and I also have experience helping animals recover after surgery. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping healing areas clean and dry, and making sure pets stay safe and comfortable while they heal. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own—with lots of attention, patience, and love. I am currently focusing on upskilling and finding a new job, so I am doing this for supplemental income. My time is also very flexible; as long as I have proper notice, I can accommodate. House Sitting: I value the health and safety of my animals first, making sure they are fed the appropriate amount, and taken any medication. After that, I actually keep a pretty clean house, and will require my dogs to be clean as well, so if we do go outside I will at the very least wash their paws ALWAYS. Dog Walking: When dog walking, I will stay clear or other dogs, until I am really familiar with your dog and his/her behavior. I believe in safety first, and that means being able to control your dog. In situations where there is another dog coming towards us, I will pick your dog up immidiately to avoid an unecessary situation.

“Tristan is wonderful! So kind and attentive to Maggie. Stayed extra to make sure she didn’t feel lonely til we got home. House was super tidy too. Highly recommend!”

“Tatyana did a phenomenal job— literally above and beyond! She was so kind and patient with my Doberman and kitty. We were so glad she got along so well with our pets and gave them the best time while my husband and I were away. Highly recommend and would love to book Tatyana again the next time we’re out of town.”

About: I have cared for and loved dogs throughout all of my life. I had 2 Lhasa Apsos growing up and a Yorkie when I was in my twenties. A big piece of me is gone now that my babies have all passed on to dog heaven. Luckily for me, I get to enjoy being an auntie to 3 adorable pups. I am the designated dog sitter for my sister’s three fur babies whenever she is out of town. I also dog sit and cat sit for some of my close friends. Taking care of any one’s fur babies is a huge responsibility and it is one I do not take lightly. I love (and have experience with) both large and small. My sister has two Maltipoos—one of which is a teacup—and a Chow Chow. So, I am familiar with the care needed to watch over pups as small as teacups and pooches as big as Chow Chows. I would love the opportunity to meet your fur baby, and if given the honor to do so, I look forward to spoiling a new furry friend. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is very flexible. My goal is to make finding quality and reliable pet care as seamless and easy as possible. I know my rates are not the lowest, but I offer above and beyond loving care of your fur baby (as though they are my own). I would be thrilled to care for your baby and accommodate your requested service. I have a 3 bedroom home with a spacious fenced yard, and a gate we keep locked and secured at all times. I maintain a clean and clutter free home, so there is plenty of space for your fur baby to stretch his/her legs and run around safely. Under my care, I will put extra attention into playing and ensuring your pet feels comfortable and happy. Being away from parents in a new environment is often stressful for our fur babies, so I’ll do what I can to help calm their nerves and welcome them into my home. If they have any favorite toys or blankets, please bring them. Unless otherwise specified, I will give 2x daily feedings in the morning and early evening, go for a morning walk, offer playtime inside and out in the yard throughout the day (with naps in between) and a longer walk to the dog park before winding down for the night.

About: I’m not just a sitter. I’m a dog lover who treats every pup like family. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. From puppyhood to senior pups, I have a lot of experience tailoring my care according to each dog’s personality, needs, and comfort zone.Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or couch snuggles, I focus on creating routines that keep dogs engaged, healthy, and stress free. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping dogs with separation anxiety, minor reactivity, and special medical needs (limited to administering oral and injectable medications). Open communication with pet parents is a priority for me. I provide frequent updates, including photos and videos, so you can see how your dog is doing. In order to dedicate myself completely to your pet’s care, play, and comfort, I only accept one dog at a time. However, for everyone’s comfort, I request that visiting pups get along with other dogs since my own dog, Bentley, will be part of their visit. As a full-time homemaker and dog mom, I am home all day and able to provide consistent, attentive care. Your dog will have my full attention for walks, playtime, rest, and anything else they need throughout the day. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I love taking dogs to trails and parks nearby for exercise, fun, and potty breaks. They can relax in a crate or snuggle with me on the couch/bed. Fresh filtered water is always available and treats are given as allowed.

About: Iv grown up with so many animals and pets around me! Cats, dogs, birds, turtles, fishes, rabbits, deers and even peacocks! Cats were my favourite. I had two persian cats, and constantly cared for my aunts 5 kittens and my friends siamese cats! Iv also had dalmation dogs and german shepherds ! I work 2 days from home and 3 days in the office and my schedule is pretty flexible! I can plan my days according to the pets needs. Whatever and however my clients want things done is how I do them. I prefer caring for the pets in their own home since then they are more comfortable and not exposed to too much change.

“Natalie was so great!! She was very kind and flexible and even left the house clean. She sent me lots of updates of the dogs and followed all the instructions. This was my first time having someone I don’t know watch my dogs and she was fantastic!”

About: Hello! I used to work at an animal hospital where part of my role was hanging out with the animals. There was a boarding facility in the back and on my break time I used to go back and hang out with the dogs. I have a good amount of experience hanging out with dogs. My coworkers used to say I had a magic touch with dogs and was able to help them feel comfortable. (Mainly I respected their space if they wanted it but was very, very open to playing and saying hello). I work from home consistently from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, so I am able to stay with your pet during those work hours!! I do it already for my cousins when they travel. I am able to take animals on short walks in the morning, and after work. I can also let them out for potty breaks. I can also help with feeding and provide general companionship (*depending on how vocal they are during meetings).

“Maria stepped in at the last minute when my dog was ill and couldn’t go to her usual spot. She was attentive to all instructions and medication, sent me frequent photos and videos, and absolutely took great care of my English Bulldog. Absolutely will have her back again!”

About: I have a dog who is my whole entire world. I have always loved and cared for dogs and cats. Have done pet sitting for friends and family for the past 5 years I am currently in college and taking hybrid classes so I free 80% of the week. I am more than willing to discuss schedules and times. I like in an apartment with a small back porch but also a lot of grass and space around my apartment complex. I have a small maltipoo to keep your babies company. I can easily crate your baby if needed.

“Yifei was awesome with our dogs. She sent sooo many pictures (very much appreciated) and was super communicative. We have a dog that requires daily medication and loved that we could trust her with that!”

About: I absolutely love animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments as I'm currently working as a vet assistant and studying to be a registered veterinary technician. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I do my best to maintain a safe environment, staying aware of harmful materials, chemicals or products that a pet could get into. Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.

“Ibraheem was fantastic! He was easy to communicate with, respectful, and always quick to respond. When working with the dogs it was clear that he has experience. He was very calm and caring. I loved the pictures and video he sent. He walked the dogs very well and left the apartment spotless. We would definitely recommend Ibraheem and will be asking him to come back in the future.”
