I was going to do some updates here.....but my phone broke and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to retrieve my photos from the past few months 🥺 I don't have them in my drive and my One Drive (cloud) wasn't connected

Hello friends! I am seeking a potential rideshare with someone who may be driving vehicle to the Santa Cruz area, that could fit my bike, any day from March 25 to March 29. Even part of the way might work.
Also, the other direction on April 14 if that could work out.
I am headed to Capitola for a pet sit that starts on March 29 and I'd like to take my bike with me. Since I'm not completely confident I can ride there, I'm looking into other options and thought maybe I could catch a ride with someone who has a vehicle large enough for the bike.
It's not that big but it is little bulky. Contact me and I will send a photo of said bike.
Of course I would pay for gas!

Hi friends!
Wondering if someone can host me for one night, March 19th. I am a professional pet sitter in the San Francisco bay area. Usually when I have a day or two between gigs, I stay at a hostel But!.....during the week of the 18-22, there's a huge conference in the city, with few rooms available and the rooms that are, have really jacked up prices!
As a guest, I am quiet, considerate and clean! I'd love to help you with anything around the house! Maybe cook a nice (vegan) dinner. Even meat-eaters love my dishes! How about walk your dog or clean the cat's litter box? Or, if you prefer, I can make myself really scarce so you can have your privacy! Either way, I can sneak out real early in the morning! In general, I'm friendly, fun and love meeting new people!
It would be nice if you are in the Bernal Heights\Glen Park/Mission area! But I'm open to anywhere I can get to on my e-bike!
Thank you!

Two beauties: Peaches and Gecko the cat. I looked after these two gentle creatures in Jack London Square in Oakland for two weeks in January.

Franklin and Misty... Misty literally becomes sad on the day I leave their house. This was for 5 days in Bernal Heights. I've sat many times for these two.

Bye, Misty! I love you!

Here are Sparkle and Spot, the adorable kitties!
Their mom had this to say about my care of her home and beloved pets.
"Harriet was a great house and pet sitter. She took great care of our house and cats during a 3 week trip. Highly recommend. Thank you Harriet!"

Continuing to catch up on my posts here! I provide long term pet-sitting in your home when you travel but can't bring you beloved pets with you. Here are Misty and Franklin, two sweet little kitties that I've sat for many times, most recently in December.

I sat for these two cuties in November. Their names are Tinkerbell and Lilly. Guess which one is which? :D And guess what? This dog dad commissioned me to do a portrait as a surprise for his wife. My portraits are not usually the same as the pets I sit, but in this case it was the same. I did use a photo but it was a lot of fun to paint them from the photo while observing them playing around me! The dog dad wanted them painted as if they were cuddling even though he didn't have a photo of them in that pose. I took separate photos and combined them to create the painting. She loved it!

Hello Friends! I have been a little bit MIA from posting in the past few months. It's been a busy few months! :D
I hope all is well with you! I'll be catching up by posting some of the adorable pets I got to care for since September! Starting with these first 3 photos. They are of a beautiful gentle dog, a sweet calm husky mix named Peaches. Her sister, a beautiful sleek kitty named Gecko is shown in the center. The third photo is Peaches and I out on a walk with sun beams behind us. :)

I'm sorry but how cute are these two?!?!?! I sat for them again in October....ah mah gah! They are too cute for words!

Their Mom had this to say:
"Thank you so much the dogs are happy and all is well here. You’ll be my first call when I need a dog sitter."

What did the dad of these two cuties have to say about my sitting for them?
"Harriet was wonderful -- she kept in great touch with photos and texts, and our dogs and house were clearly well taken care of upon our return. Don't hesitate to [have Harriet sit for you!]"

First time for everything! Someone I did an in-home sit for also commissioned a pet portrait from me. This was an extra dimension of fun added to the experience of looking after two very cute, very sweet and well-behaved doggos! This is a painting of Tinkerbell and Lilly. You might think that Tinkerbell is the little dog....but you would be wrong! :D

I sat for these two adorable puppehs in Noe Valley in October. And in the post above, you'll see, for the first time, a pet parent who I am sitting for also commissioned me to paint their pets! That was a lot of fun!

I did a 5-day sit looking after this sweet, elderly boy who has lost his eyesight. He still loves his walks where he can sniff all the things and loves attacking his Kong filled with beefy treats! If you need to travel for work or leisure and can't take your furry companions with you, I can provide loving, responsible pet care in your home while you're away. Your home is protected by someone being there and your pet experiences less stress by staying in their own home. My summer schedule is filling up fast! I still have a large part of July available and just a few days in August. Find me on Nextdoor at Harriet's Happy Housesitting and on Facebook.com/harrietshappyhousesitting. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!
Thank you!

WARNING: It gets LOUD 😊 This is Daphne. I'll be looking after this hilarious bird starting tomorrow, along with her brother, who is a parrot and much quieter. They also have a cat sister and brother, who never bother the birds! Third time I'm sitting them! I'm excited to see them again! :)

Hahaha....life with cats, amirite? I'm looking after this little nugget and his two siblings in the Presidio. The Presidio is a very unique section of San Francisco that used to be a military post. It's close to the Golden Gate Bridge and has amazing trails and views. If you are going to be traveling and need a long term in-home pet-sitter, my schedule is open starting Feb 18. Check out my FB page Harriet's Happy Housesitting for more photos and glowing reviews!
