House Sitting Zinfandel

“Julie is a god send. My pup Gracie became very ill last Sunday, and I had to go out of town for a day. Julie made both my pups feel comfortable and safe. (They told me). She administered meds, paid close attention and told me what was happening. My girl Gracie has been dealing w acute pancreatitis. I’m home now. Thank you Julie!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, typically two or more at a time, and genuinely love getting to know their individual personalities, routines and quirks. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, medications, senior dogs and providing plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I also trained my dog Maverick, affectionately known as “Monaco Maverick,” who became a bit of a local celebrity as Director of Pet Relations, greeting guests at the front desk of the San Francisco hotels I managed. After a career managing hotels and vacation properties, I’m accustomed to being responsible for both people’s comfort and their property. I’m dependable, attentive and comfortable handling unexpected situations. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while you’re away, and that you can relax knowing they’re in very good hands. I work remotely managing a nonprofit that provides temporary housing for cancer patients and their families, which gives me considerable flexibility in my daily schedule. I’m able to spend plenty of time at home with the dogs in my care and can easily accommodate their normal routines, including walks, meals, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy having dogs around while I work and appreciate that every dog has their own schedule and personality, so I’m happy to adapt my routine to theirs. I care for pets in their own home, where they can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime and any household routines. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home and will keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, relaxed and well cared for, and for you to return to a happy pet and a home just as you left it.

“Highly recommend Angela! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and immediately made our anxious dog feel comfortable and safe. She took him on multiple walks and sent regular photo updates, which gave us total peace of mind. Angela is a fantastic sitter, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve spent several years caring for pets as part of my work as a nanny and personal assistant, so I’m very used to routines, communication, and handling animals with patience. I’ve cared for high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Dobermans, as well as small dogs, seniors, and puppies. What sets me apart is that I’m calm, dependable, and observant, I notice changes in behavior, appetite, or energy right away. I’m comfortable with crate routines, structured walks, feeding schedules, basic commands, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. I’ve also handled senior-dog needs like slow walks, medication reminders, and gentle mobility support. When I house-sit, I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions carefully, and send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident your pup is happy and safe. Whether your dog needs long walks, quiet company, playtime, or extra patience, I adapt to each pet’s personality to help them feel secure while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school remotely, which means my schedule is very flexible and I’m home the majority of the day. When I’m house-sitting, your dog gets consistent company, supervision, and attention, I’m not someone who will be in and out all day. If I ever need to step out for a quick errand or class requirement, I always communicate ahead of time. I believe in being respectful of your home and completely transparent about my schedule, so you’ll always know what to expect. Because my program is online, I’m able to structure my study time around your pet’s needs: walks, playtime, feeding, medication, and potty breaks. This setup lets me provide calm, consistent care while keeping your dog’s routine as stable and stress-free as possible. When I care for pets in your home, I keep everything calm, safe, and consistent. I follow your dog’s routine exactly: feeding schedule, walk times, crate rules, and any house guidelines you prefer. I’m especially careful with doors, gates, and outdoor time, and I handle strong or high-energy dogs confidently. I keep your home tidy, pick up after pets right away, and treat your space with respect. Throughout the stay, I send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel secure in their familiar environment and give you complete peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats in the past, when I lived in Australia, and in Napa, I am trusted by all of my friends and family to take care of their pets and home while they are away. I have been doing so much housesitting recently, I decided to offer my services to others again! I love animals and am always that person that can't walk past a cat or dog without saying hello and giving them a pat. I am a winemaker and notary on the side, so I have had regular background checks and am a respectful and responsible person. I live by the moto of "leave the place better than you found it" and am very cautious and mindful to leave your home in perfect condition, so you can return home with no problems and no cleaning to worry about! I work full-time and am generally at work by 7:30am and am home by 4pm. I spend a lot of time at home on the weekends to get work done and tend to walk with friends to get exercise or go to the local farmers markets. Give me a list of instructions that you would like done and I will fulfill all of your expectations! I work during the day, so I will not be able to stop by during the day in most cases (between 7:30am-4:30pm), but I will free for walks before and/or after work and anything else that needs to be done.

“Kelly was a fantastic sitter for my fur baby Onyx! She was in regular communication, sent lots of pics and kept me updated as necessary. Onyx was well taken care of and Kelly was loving, patient and kind with her. She worked with me on crazy changes to my flight schedule and even offered to stay late which I really appreciated. She left my house clean and fresh and was a pleasure to work with. She is reliable and a great communicator. She even checked on Onyx the day after my return. I’d definitely have Kelly again and am already trying to book her for a future date. Thank you Kelly for taking such great care of Onyx, for being so loving with her and for being willing to work with me on all levels!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 10 years! My family and friends have entrusted me with the care of their pets whether that be a doggy beach day, a doggy pamper day or even just to hang out with their pup! I work from home Monday and Friday and I am able to adjust my own schedule to fit in dog walks, play time, feeding time, or whatever have you! My schedule revolves around my doggo! I have a super friendly dog, Shabba, who loves meeting other dogs and running around with them. I love taking dogs on walks or runs to the beach where they can get a lot of play time in :)

“If you’re thinking of trusting your pet children and/or home to someone, look no further. Victoria arrived earlier than promised and stayed later than I expected, meaning my pets were only alone for a very short time while I was out of town. Both were well loved. Enjoyed the photos and the texts. This was my first trip (overnight) away from my puppy and Victoria made it easy. Thank you!”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have over 2 years of experience caring for cats and dogs. My experience ranges from caring for high energy foster puppies who require lots of play time and long walks to providing more patient gentle care to calm senior dogs who just want to be in your company. I am extremely reliable, passionate and trustworthy. I currently work full time in the wine industry and am off from work at around 4:00 pm daily. I am free any day of the week for afternoon walks and care! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine to keep them stress free. I follow your instructions carefully and diligently for feeding, watering, walking etc… Each visit includes a walk, potty break and dedicated play time. I also ensure your home remains tidy and secure while you’re away.

About: I grew up with 2 dogs, lab mix and a chihuahua mix. I was especially fond of Rosie( our lab), she was a very loving and sweet pup. I understand how a pet really can become a special part of your life and I know it's important to treat them well. I love having the companionship of a dog in the home and I am very good with dogs even when they are very hyper. I have a patient and loving way with dogs. I'd be happy to play with your dog, take them out for some exercise and give them the attention they need! I'm free if they need to get out in the mornings as you to rush off to work or school!

About: I've been around animals since I was a baby. I have a fondness for the senior pets, they are just the sweetest! I love having playtime and cuddle time and a good walk if you're pet enjoys walks. (My grand cat walks on a leash, so we go on walks all the time). It's a scary time when pet parents are away for both pet and parent and I'll be there to make all of you at ease! I have a very flexible part-time job, so that frees me up to spend as much time as needed with your fur baby most weekdays and weekends, even holidays! I have three indoor feral rescue kitties. It took time and trust on all sides, but all three are now the sweetest cats ever! Every fur baby that has been brought into my house over the years, was either a feral I rescued off the street or adopted from a shelter. Mine are indoor only, except for when I sit on the porch. They get to come outside, but they all stay on the porch and come inside when I do.So lots of toys and enrichment is important for them. They all love to play fetch and chase the laser! Whatever your pet requires or whatever their routine is, I'm there for it. It's all about your pet and putting your mind at ease that they are in the best possible hands!

About: I have had pets since very young and have a dog a cat and 2 guinea pigs at the moment. Willing to work around your requests. I am available most of the time besides on Sundays. I do pet sitting, house sitting, doggy walks, meds, etc. I'm good with all sizes, breeds, and ages. I am willing to do anything such as give medication if needed or like take your pups somewhere else or even take them to vet appointments

“Rosemary was incredibly accommodating, receptive, followed instructions well, and ensured our dogs were safe and happy. I would highly recommend her and would book again. Thank you for your great care!”

“Mariah is our go to dog sitter! She has watched our 2 crazy doodles multiple times now and every time she is so communicative, punctual, and treats the boys like they are her own. The house is always left spotless as well. It’s so nice knowing that we don’t have to worry about the dogs when we are away! Will continue to reach out to her first whenever we need a sitter or someone to check in on them!”

“Jenn took great care of my cat Tuna while I was away. During a very hot weekend, she made sure my indoor/outdoor kitty had access to the house. She let me know how Tuna was doing throughout the weekend. I would definitely ask her to sit again!”

“Cambryel was amazing. 100% recommend. Cambryel watched my 2 senior dogs in my home. There was a medical emergency with one of my senior dogs and she handled everything professionally, promptly and with so much care. Cambryel did so much during the unexpected emergency. She took our dog to the vet for diagnosis and started a routine of medication, trying different things until she found one that worked, keeping me informed the entire time. Cambryel even slept on the couch and woke up in the middle of the night to help my dog use the bathroom while he adjusted to the new meds. She is so amazing- cannot thank her enough for handling the situation so well and caring for my dogs like her own.”

About: 🐾Why I love pet sitting I love that pet sitting allows me to combine companionship, responsibility, and a slower, more present way of living. Every animal has their own routine and personality, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. Whether that means going for a walk, spending quiet time together, playing, or simply keeping them company, I want the animals in my care to feel at home and well loved. I also understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else. My goal is to provide dependable care while respecting the routines and instructions that each pet parent has established. ✨About me I have worked for myself off and on since 2015, with a background in fashion design and printmaking. My creative work has always given me an appreciation for detail, patience, and working independently. In my 20s, I lived in a meditation community, where I practiced daily yoga and developed a deeper appreciation for mindfulness, simplicity, and being present. I eventually found my way into pet sitting in 2022 while living in Phoenix. Since then, caring for animals has become a very meaningful part of my life. I have since moved back to California and now dedicate most of my time to caring for animals. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. My pet care & house-sitting routine When I house sit, I like to keep your pets’ normal routine as consistent as possible. My days typically include: * 🐾 Morning: Feedings, fresh water, potty break, and a morning walk or outdoor time. * 🐾 Throughout the day: Potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and plenty of companionship. * 🐾 Evening: Dinner, another walk or outdoor time, and settling into their usual nighttime routine. * 🐾 House care: Bring in the mail and packages, water plants as needed, take out trash, and keep the home clean and tidy. * 🐾 Updates: I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know how everyone is doing while you’re away. I’m flexible and always happy to follow your pets’ specific routines, needs, and preferences. When I stay in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My priority is keeping your pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they receive their meals on schedule, fresh water, regular potty breaks, walks, play and enrichment, and plenty of affection and companionship. I pay attention to their individual personalities and needs, whether they want lots of activity and attention or prefer a quieter, more relaxed day. I do leave the house periodically for my own errands, walks, or activities, but I make sure your pets receive dedicated one-on-one time throughout the day and aren’t simply left alone for long periods. While I’m there, I also keep the home tidy, bring in mail and packages, take out trash, and take care of any agreed-upon household tasks. I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pets—and your home—are being well cared for.
