House Sitting in Waterford

“Makayla so obviously loves animals! Our 11 month old Lab “puppy” is crazy about her and could care less when my husband and I leave. I don’t need to worry at all while we’re away, plus we get photos and updates too. She’s intelligent, caring and personable. We will most definitely call on her again. Jan &Tex Billings”

“Maria was great with both of our pets! She went above and beyond, providing pictures and videos and communicating with us. Our booking was last minute, but Maria still made it possible. Our pups were both happy and relaxed when we arrived home! 😊 thank you so much, we look forward to booking with you again!”

Theresa P.

“Wonderful! Friendly and cares about your fur babies. She did everything asked and beyond. Will pet sit again, for sure!”

“Nina was wonderful with my sheltie. She arrived on time and took notes about my sheltie’s care. She sent pictures and updates daily, and she took her for a walk, played ball with her, and gave her the medication she requires daily. She left my home clean and neat. I will definitely use her again. Carla”

“Lesley did a great job taking care of our 9-month-old cocker spaniel puppy during a recent 3-day trip. Lesley was conscientious, trustworthy, communicated well and sent us pictures/videos daily. The house looked as good as we left it when we got back home. We have already booked Lesley again for an upcoming trip.”

About: Growing up on the farm, there was no shortage of canines in my life starting very early. Companions, service dogs, working dogs, strays who wandered up and never left, I’ve taken care of almost every shape and size of dog! Starting with the chocolate lab I saved up for from my local rescue at 8 years old, to my most recent geriatric chihuahua, I love them all! I’m an artist with a very flexible schedule looking to fill a need in my community! I can accommodate nearly every shape and size of situation—especially holidays and last minute bookings! As someone with very high standards, I only wish to provide the services that I absolutely expect for my pets! You can always count on me to follow your instructions thoroughly and to the letter; your pet’s healthy and safety and your satisfaction as an owner is of the utmost importance to me!

About: Though I don’t have any dogs right now, I miss having them around. Growing up I was trusted to take care of my neighbors dog while they were away and I was the only kid that their dog actually liked! We had a pit bull named Shorty when I was younger and he was my best friend. I used to give him his medicine everyday and take him on walks regularly. My whole family has had me train their dogs as I grew up; I have quite a knack at it. In my care your dog will be loved and taken care of as if it were my own!! Currently I’m waiting to apply to college in the fall so I have ample free time!! Whatever money I make from this will go towards paying for college where I plan to go into the medical field ! Whatever instructions you give me I will make sure to follow them to a T. In my home I’m always spending time with my babies, whether that means playing or just relaxing. I always make sure they have fresh water and I feed them on time every morning and night.

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. Including a senior dog that was deaf, blind and incontinent. I am very comfortable with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs/rabbits. I have house sat, pet sat for many neighbors and friends. I almost prefer animals to people and will give lots of snuggles to your baby. If that is what they want. I am a student in college and am home for summer. I pet sit every summer but also work. My internship has fallen through and taking care of animals would be my preferred way to make money for school this summer. I am available until Sept. I will make sure that your pets safety and security are my number one concern. I will check doors and latches and make sure there will be no mistakes. I also will make sure that I am comforting them because I know they are missing their parents and may be anxious about you being gone. I will give play/cuddles/pets. I also want to make sure I follow your guidelines about feeding schedules and any other wants you may have. I understand you are trusting me with your very precious baby and I take that seriously. It's my honor to take care of them while you are gone.

“This was our first time using Rover, and Stephanie reassured us from the very beginning with a meet and greet. She sent photos, videos, and updates, so I never felt overly worried (as an already worrisome pet mama). The house was just as we left it and everyone was happy when we returned home. I know they’ll be excited to see her again, too!”

Diana M.

“Mia is super friendly and direct time in our home with our VERY shy cat, who even warmed up to her! She was respectful and responsive. We sincerely appreciated her.”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for and walking dogs, I’m a trusted sitter for friends, neighbors, and colleagues. As a student home for the summer, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care for your dog. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine pretty naturally. I currently have a part-time job, but I’m available for pet care responsibilities before 10 a.m. and after 1 p.m. most days. I’m good at managing my time, so I can consistently provide attention, walks, feeding, or whatever else is needed during those hours. I enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I take seriously and genuinely enjoy fitting into my schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow the specific instructions the pet owner provides, such as feeding schedules, medication, exercise needs, and any special preferences or restrictions. For dogs, this usually means regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and engaged. For cats or smaller pets, I focus on creating a calm environment, ensuring clean litter boxes or cages, and offering affection on their terms. If I’m caring for pets at the client’s home, I treat their space with respect, keeping everything clean and secure, and I provide daily updates to the owner so they know their pet is doing well. Overall, my goal is to maintain a routine that makes pets feel safe and loved, whether they’re in my home or theirs.

About: I've been living with pets for my whole life - dogs, cats, fish, and more. I am well versed in pet walking, grooming, and basic care. I walk my dogs daily and hold myself to a high standard when it comes to keeping pets at ease. I am great at keeping pets calm (even on July 4th!) and genuinely love being with animals! I am a college student and currently not working outside of pet care. My schedule is highly flexible. I can work any time any day of the week. I will always attempt to follow the instructions of my clients in addition to my own judgement. I will do whatever is necessary to keep our 4-legged friends in good behavior without being overly harsh.

I am currently the proud Momma to 3 dogs, 3 cats and a whole bunch of chickens and ducks. I would love to help you care for your furry friends and promise to love them and treat them as though they were my own. Whether you need a dog walker, a drop by visitor for your fur baby or overnight pet sitting, I would honored to get to help in the care of your best friend(s). No dog too large or small. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I’m currently a student at Modesto Junior College, with a very flexible schedule, leaving me plenty of time to make your pets my top priority.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats various animals in my life. I now own a dog, 2 cats and 5 reptiles so giving TLC is not something that is new to me Daily walks with my dog kali is a must also fetch 24/7, playing with the cats and even helping my reptiles shed, I have never had a sick animal. Always paying attention to what the animals are doing, even checking on them if they aren’t doing anything, just in case nothing goes wrong. I’ve always treated animals with respect and love because in a way they are like us human beings.

About: With a knack for creating engaging social media content, I keep pet parents updated with fun and heartwarming snapshots of their furry friends during their stay. My attention to detail ensures every pet’s unique needs are met, from dietary preferences to favorite playtime routines. I’m dedicated to making each pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! As a full-time realtor and proud cat mom, pet care is a natural extension of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to balance property showings and client meetings with giving pets the love and attention they deserve. Caring for my Scottish Fold, Besitos, has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s a midday walk or a cozy evening cuddle, I’m committed to ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and cared for throughout their time with me. In my home, I provide pets with a clean, safe, and welcoming environment, complete with a securely fenced yard for play and exploration. I prioritize comfort by creating cozy resting areas and ensuring they feel right at home. When caring for pets in their own space, I treat their home with the same respect and mindfulness as I would my own. I pay close attention to routines, special instructions, and unique needs, ensuring each pet feels loved and secure, whether at my place or theirs.

“Jose accepted a last minute request for five days of house sitting for our two dogs who are both very anxious and shy. They’d never been left alone or with anyone else. Jose (and Joey) were amazing. They were patient with our dogs, letting them slowly come out of their shells, sent regular pictures and check-ins, keeping us updated on how things were going. And they went above and beyond, making sure Maui and Rain were alone as little as possible, giving them lots of attention and playtime. They took great care of the house too. We arrived home tonight to happy, healthy pups, who show no signs of stress despite being away for five days.”

About: I have had pets since I can remember and I have loved every single one of them. I currently have 3 cats 2 of which are around 12 and the 3rd is around 3. As well as 2 dogs who are 8 and 4. They are my babies and I treat them with nothing but love and care. I have also fostered 4 kittens at different times, all finding loving and caring homes I am currently only working one day a week so I have plenty of time to be there for all your animals needs, I have 3 cats, 2 dogs, and a snake of my own that I take care of daily as well as past foster kittens. With my own pets I have had to administer medication and supplements so I am well aware of the responsibilities that comes with those needs. In my home my dogs are indoor and get feed 3 times a day everyday. My cats are indoor/outdoor and come in at night and are trained to do so. I know how to get a cat to come in if they are being a little stubborn as well as getting dogs to go out to use the restroom as needed.

About: I have had a myriad of pets since I was a kid. I have taken care of pets ranging from Dogs to Turtles, and few different kinds in between! I have a love for animals, and enjoy spending time with them. As of right now I work full time in Child Care, so I will usually be available for pet care weekdays in the evening, as well as some weekends when I am in town. I pay attention to detail and and ensure animals are taken care of to the very letter of their owners instructions. I will ensure animals are fed, energy exhausted and having a great time, while maintaining safety!
