House Sitting Watson

About: Most of my pets have been dogs and some of them have been older than a year or two months old, currently open to learn more. Currently looking for a part-time and love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I was in elementary school and currently have one. I live in a small apartment and get to walk her around the city and usually walk her two times per day during the weekends

About: Having raised two pugs, I’m familiar with how difficult it is to find someone trustworthy who can help with walks or simply playing with your loved one. I’m a huge animal lover and I’m looking for a way to help out other pet parents looking for someone to help with their pet on a busy day or week. Having recently been laid off, I have plenty of time to help out other pet parents. I’m usually free in the mornings around 10AM after I’ve taken my land dogs on a walk or in the middle of the day and again during evenings after 4PM Having raised two dogs myself, I’m very patient and can adapt to the pet parents commands and the dogs needs. I have experienced with reactive dogs having dog sat my cousin’s barky dachshund.

“Brendan has made us feel like we can travel again! As we have a senior dog, we are reluctant to leave him--he's set in his ways and does not like changes to his routine which causes stress (for him and for us). Brendan set us at ease immediately. He has an extensive experience with all types of dogs, and was well aware of the unique needs of seniors: funky about feeding, different types of meds and med schedules, and the possibility of incontinence. Brendan took all of this in stride AND made us feel confident he could manage any issues should they arise. From day one, Brendan sent pictures and updates and was very communicative about Maxwell's behavior, habits and general well-being while we were gone. Although it was a lengthy stay (8 nights), he was communicative throughout and took good care of our home. I would have Brendan at our home again without question. I felt comfortable and confident that he would take good care of our sweet Maxwell. He got to know his personality and quickly seemed to understand Maxwell and that was clear in his communications with us.”

“Malcolm is a treasure!!! He took great care of our two dogs, one of whom is a senior dog we worry about, and left our home sparkling clean. He was a great communicator while we were and made us feel at ease without over burdening us with updates. I will book him again in a heartbeat.”

About: Growing up, we always had dogs around (German shepherds, border collie, pit bull). When I moved away, I missed having my furry best friends around. I adopted my pup Professor Wellington from a shelter in LA when he was around 6-8 months old. He was the first little dog I ever had which seemed easier living in apartments in LA & NYC and traveling. We had almost 13 years together before he recently passed away, and now I have an even bigger soft spot for older dogs that need some extra TLC. I have a regular 8-5 type job during the week, and I have the most flexibility in my day on Friday afternoon/evenings and the weekends. Having a pup that was an escape artist in the beginning, I’m very aware of checking for possible escape routes. I’m also used to watching for signs of anxiety and fear with the environment and other people/dogs. Every dog is different, but I want them to feel as comfortable, happy & safe as possible. For any house sitting requests, I do require doing a meet and greet prior to confirming the booking to make sure that we are all on the same page

“Ritu was very courteous and professional, and our pup enjoyed spending time with her!”

“Highly recommend. Jay was amazing! Was available with short notice, sent pics/videos and my puppy loved! Will def book this sitter again. Thanks Jay ?”

“Anna is a great communicator and very reliable. She was very accommodating to our fluctuating schedule, and we would highly recommend her to friends.”

David B.

“My dog took a liking to Ali right away! I did also and feel she genuinely cares and is knowledgeable about animals. She sent cute updates and was clear in her schedule and communication. She was respectful of my space and I felt at ease knowing my pet was in good hands.”

Cindy M.

“Gia took wonderful care of our babies and we are so grateful!”

Ndia H.

“Jack was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for our Annie girl. This was the first time we had ever used Rover and Jack made this the best possible experience. He provided lots of updates, sent us lots of pictures and we could tell that he genuinely cared for and loved our girl while we were gone. Not once did we worry about how she was doing while she was in Jack's care. We came back to our apartment looking better than when we left it, could not tell we had a sitter there at all, more like we had a house cleaner come by. Would recommend Jack to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, loving and responsible dog sitter. Will 100% book with Jack again when the time comes.”

About: I enjoy fur babies! They are innocent and welcoming to all without judgement. I am big on allowing them to enjoy their life the same way I do mine. We are walkers over here! I love staying active and getting my steps in and pets love their outdoor time meaning we’re both winners! Although I’m not a pet owner just yet, I’m waiting for when I have a more concrete lifestyle security. I fill that void by taking care of other people’s pets. I work a traditional 40 hours a week job and have flexibility in my daily obligations. Including pet care in routine can be integrated without disruption. When I’ve taken care of pets at my home, they receive my attention, love, and a keen eye for their needs. We have tons of playtime when we’re able to. I love spending time with them because in return the love we share is wholesome. Dogs are walked usually three times a day (at wake up, when I get back from work, and a shorter walk before bedtime). I love giving them outside time because I want them to see and enjoy the world just like humans. I also respect the wishes of parents and do my best to mimic their habits that way they and their pet can feel at ease. I am naturally communicative and can adapt with more or less upon request.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve had my childhood dog for 15 years, a 6-year-old cat, and recently said goodbye to my beloved cat who lived to be 18. I also have many dogs in my extended family whom I’ve loved and cared for since I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to care for their pets, whether that means going on walks, feeding, bathing, or administering medications. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. Safety is always my number one priority, but just as important to me is making sure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for as a member of the family. I know that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I want to make sure they feel secure and happy while you're away. I’ve loved animals since I was little, and spending time with them has always brought me a sense of comfort and grounding. Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me joy, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so my weekday mornings are dedicated to school and clinical responsibilities. However, I’m generally available every day after 12–1 p.m., including afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends, and I have flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your pet’s needs. Being a graduate student, time management has definitely become a strength of mine! I’m happy to work with your schedule, whether that means afternoon walks, drop-in visits, waking up earlier in the mornings, feeding, playtime, or providing extra love and attention while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m committed to being reliable, flexible, and attentive to their individual needs When caring for pets in their own homes, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I will do my best to follow their usual schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I also want to make sure each pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their individual personality and needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I will always prioritize your pet’s safety, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you consistently updated so you can feel at ease while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or simply enjoys relaxing with some company, I will meet them where they are and make sure they feel cared for.

“Trixie was so excited to hang out with Kayana from day one. Kayana was really respectful of my apartment and really went above and beyond for my girls. They sent me pics regularly and even obliged when I needed more after a particularly difficult day. :) My girls and I loved Kayana and look forward to hanging out with them again!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life! I have three and I know dog behaviors very well. I love being around dogs and I own a jumpy dog so I know very well how to handle them! I am available any time needed currently! Any normal or odd time I can do! I can be there whenever you need and am okay with any time at all. I can handle any accommodation needed, like crating at certain times, extremely specific things needed done, etc! I can handle any specific schedule and any key details about your baby!

About: I have experience caring for children and creating a safe, positive environment, and I bring that same patience and responsibility to pet care. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, or giving them lots of attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also happy to follow specific care instructions, including administering medications, and caring for senior pets. I am currently in school and can only do daily visits during the week and overnight care on the weekends. My schedule is open from 3:30pm-10pm I care for pets in their own home by keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, plenty of playtime, exercise if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I also follow any special instructions, such as giving medication or sticking to specific feeding schedules.

“Liz was amazing with my house and especially with taking care of my little zoo. All my animals were happy and fed when I returned home. I love her attitude most of all. She is a special person who really knows animals and how to care for them.”

Donna H.

“Lucia is a “Total Gem”. She was amazing with the dogs and kept the house super clean and well taken care of. We will be hiring her for many years to come (hopefully she keeps sitting). It is really hard to find someone who is honest and trustworthy with our homes and pet family but Lucia is the best of the best ❤️❤️”

Pamela S.

“Giovanny was awesome! He was kind, respectful and communicative. He was great with our pup. He followed our instructions and our pup loved him. We were even running late to get back home on time and Gio stayed until we returned. Highly recommend!”

Jessica K.

“Mario knows all the key rules and is helping us continue Nala’s training to become a service dog. Mario is communicative and was so helpful while I was away for work travel. It isn’t often you meet someone you can trust with your pup and access to your home the way Mario can be counted on. :)”
