House Sitting in Waterford

“She’s communicative and truly present, she stays with Charli for the entire visit, which matters a lot to me. Other sitters have come and gone, but not Alexandria. No matter how long or short the stay, she’s consistent and reliable. As someone whose schedule revolves around my dog, that level of care makes her incredibly easy to work with and someone I fully trust. Thank you!!”

About: I live on a larger property outside Turlock and have always had pets and livestock including dogs, cats, goats, alpaca, and rabbits. Was responsible for walking our dogs most days i was off and providing any health care or vet visits for our animals. I am currently not working so im looking to meet some new pet friends of all kinds. I will be available for most times and dates. I usually will do an early walk for dogs if they are ok with walking and i have slept over at clients houses before with both dogs and cats

“Nina was great! My fur babies had a great time and she was awesome at providing updates and photos. She did great at caring for multiple pets at one time.”

“Katie did a great job watching our dogs last night! She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took great care of them. We came home to happy pups and really appreciated having someone we could trust with them. We would definitely have her watch them again!”

About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was a baby. I have two chihuahuas that are 10 and 11 years old. I’ve had them since they were 8 weeks old and they are my babies. They are so spoiled and loved and my whole world. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my step daughter. We usually have her Wednesday-Thursday, Friday-Monday. My day depends on what I have scheduled, it’s very fluid and open. I start my day by scooping the cat litter box, letting my dogs outside to potty, taking care of and feeding my beta fish, opening windows and watering plants, and then making meals for my two cats and two dogs. Our step daughter loves animals and loves to help care for ours. I am at home majority of my day and spend a lot of time with my animals. I walk my two dogs everyday and make them meals. I brush my two cats everyday and give them enrichment activities. I spend the day cuddling with my dogs too. At my clients home, I would follow the directions provided to me as well as using my own discretion when necessary to provide the ultimate care. Your pets will be treated and loved like they are my own.

“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.”

“I was very pleased with the service Errol provided. This was my first time leaving my pet with someone besides family, and also having them in my home while away. Errol made me feel at ease and provided excellent care to my senior dog. I will definitely book with him again!”

About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.

“Thank You Emma for being the best friend to our girls. Your interaction with them was wonderful. Their attitude when we returned told us that they were treated properly and they enjoyed spending time with you. Thanks”

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and have always been someone friends and family trust with their pets. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines so pets feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether a pet is energetic, anxious, or more independent, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to provide dependable, gentle care every time. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I pride myself on being as reliable and communicative as possible. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and can adjust timing as needed to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I’m attentive to behavior and body language, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and safety. I also respect your home and space, keeping things clean and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!

About: I provide a stress free and free roam experience for your pet (and sibling), where they can feel at home. I only take one pet and a sibling at a time to facilitate this environment. All dogs must have mandatory vaccinations; rabies, Distemper (DA2PP), Bordetella, Lepto, and flea medication. Cats: Rabies, Distemper (FVCP), and flea medication. After multiple life changing events, my home feels unnatural without a pet. I work as an elementary school teacher nearby and enjoy walks or slow bike rides on my trike in the evening. On weekends, I enjoy throwing a frisbee with my son at the park, we'd love to have your dog play with us too! I treat animals as another member of the family who deserve unconditional love, respect, and attention. A little spoiling here and there doesn't hurt, right? I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of shade for your little one to roam safely. My neighborhood is older and quiet, perfect for peaceful naps.

“This is our second time having Jose watch our animals, and he was absolutely amazing, just like the first time! He was great with our animals, especially our more anxious dog. Will definitely be a repeat client 🙂”

About: I have one puppy and she has a brother that I petsit all the time. I have always been an animal person, having dogs all growing up, and taking care of my neighbors cats when they are away. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8:30AM-5PM, I am available to watch in between those times, stay overnight if needed, or stay a whole weekend as I am free those days. I care for pets in my clients home the best. I treat their home with respect and do not touch anything at all, unless its the pets food or water.

“Was able to help us when our last sitter without notice. Sent lots of pics and communicated throughout the two nights and days he was there. Brought my dogs pup cups and treats. Cleaned up after them. Handled my high energy puppy. I wish I would have had time to give you more instructions for the dogs to help make the experience easier on him. But he was a trooper and we really appreciated him! Would book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for both family and friends for the past year. I love working with animals and have owned two cats and currently own a dog who I love so much. I’m currently a college student, as of now I have around 1 class every weekday for about an hour or two. I will be available most of the day to care for your animals. No matter the service, I’ll always make sure to care for your animal like I do my own because I know how much your dog/cat means to you. If house sitting, I’ll always make sure to keep an eye on your animal to make sure they are safe and well attended to.

About: I got both of my dogs when they were 3 months old, so I know how to potty train, leash train, and teach basic commands. I am able to give medications if needed and I know how to deal with even the stubborn dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I'll have plenty of time to play with and check on your furry friends during the day/week! I always let the pet make the first move to build trust and recognition. I am a very attentive person and will be sure to make certain the pet has plenty of food, water, comfort, and engagement at all times.

“Regina was absolutely wonderful! I needed a sitter fairly last-minute, and I was nervous about finding a house sitter for the first time for our labradoodle puppy. I am so glad that we found Regina! She was very loving and attentive with out puppy. She sent lots of photos and was great with communication. My house was in exactly the same condition as I left it, and Brady looked really happy and healthy when we came home. I can only hope that Regina will be available the next time we need her!”
