Please help me if you hear from this person....
Someone has been harassing me on Nextdoor. I sat for him through a completely different website and he did shady things including diagnosing and dosing his cat with human medicine without going to a vet. His home was dirty and the cat's illness had him peeing all over the couch. I was becoming ill from the overwhelming ammonia smell and had to put the cushions into one of his two bathrooms (which were dirty when I got there). I left a candid truthful review on the other website when the sit ended 2 months ago. I never heard from him until 2 days ago, when he sent threatening texts to my phone and then left a vile, dishonest and fake review on Nextdoor. I and a few others reported him and it was taken off because it violated ND community guidelines. He had "joined" ND from a fake neighborhood about 30 minutes before he left his review of me. I think he was banned because of that. It is possible that he will try it again under a fake name and contact people he finds on Nextdoor or Facebook that have a connection to me. Especially if I sat for their pets.

Would you be so kind as to let me know if anyone contacts you or someone you know with bad comments about me. His name is Fabien but he may use a fake name on Nextdoor or Facebook or wherever.

I appreciate it so much!

Much love,
Harriet

"Harriet was great! This was the second time she has taken care of Peaches and Gecko and both times were wonderful. The girls were very well taken care of and I came back to a wonderful apartment!
I highly recommend Harriet for a great sit :)"

Thank you Teresa! Here's beautiful Peaches enjoying a walk on the beach....
And Gecko enjoying a little rest and relaxation in the basket of my bicycle. :D

Tyler in Alameda had this to say about my care of Cappuccino and Aidan.
(photo is Cappuccino sleeping on my lap :D So cute!)

"Harriet was a kind and thoughtful caretaker for our two kitties and our Alameda apartment. She was very thoughtful of their welfare and communicated frequently with us, especially in the first week, to ensure everything was being taken care of well. She even sent us cute pictures regularly to cheer us up when we missed them! Harriet is great with pets and intuitive to their needs, which made it easy to trust her with them on our trip. Our apartment was well maintained and we didn’t have any major issues. We would recommend Harriet to be a sitter for your home as well."

Here is Cappuccino, snoozing away on my lap. :D

I sat Stanley for a week and his Mom, named Kat :D, had this to say about my sitting for Stanley...

"Harriet was great. She showed up when she said she would and sent a picture of my cat Stanley as verification. My cat seemed to like her right away so obviously she had good energy. Animals know this stuff. She was very responsive during her stay over text. She left our house clean, dishes were done and the bedding stripped. The towels were in the dryer, all clean. Upon leaving, she left me a detailed text message including the status of Stanley and that she fed him.

Stanley seemed happy when we arrived home. He was not stress out because he didn't look like he gained any weight from overeating, which he does when no one is around."

Here is a photo I took of darling Stanley while there...

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!

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!
