Pet Sitting in Allendale

About: Some people innately connect with animals. Maybe this cannot be taught or learned. Even those animals who "don't like anyone" like me. It's a gift. Perhaps they can tell I'm a gentle giant and it makes them feel safe and protected. Whether cat or dog or some other creatures, I will lavish affection and attention on them (if they're into that). Or simply let them call the shots until they're ready to warm up a bit more. As a large, fit dude, I can manage even the strongest dogs, but I'm nimble and delicate with the smaller ones and cats. It comes naturally, and your pets will sense it. Summertime affords more flexibility for me as a teacher. I do have another PT gig currently on Tuesdays & Thursdays in the afternoons. But I'm mostly available the other 5 days for now, and am willing to spend time with your pets before and after shifts on days I work. For many years, I've cared for dozens of friends' pets. Long before Rover existed, I was a resident car provider in my community. Everyone knows I am reliable, professional, responsive, and flexible. Clean, sober, non-smoker.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dog breeds and sizes, each with individual needs. I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience from bottle feeding newborn kittens to giving medications to senior pets. My schedule is very flexible, offering pet parents with a variety of pet care support to meet their needs. I work with clients to provide a schedule that works for them. Having fur family members in my home already does not allow for me to provide in my home support. I provide my pet clients with detailed notes on their pet followed by pictures, putting pet owners at ease while away from their fur babe/babies.

“Virginia took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She went above and beyond, spending extra time with her and sending photos. I knew our cat was in good hands which gave us peace of mind. Virginia is very conscientious and thoughtful, and I highly recommend her.”

“Valerie is amazing! I had never needed to hire anyone to look after my dog before, so I had a bit of anxiety about leaving him, but Valerie soon put me at ease. Norman looked forward to Valerie’s visits every day, and it was clear that she not only has plenty of experience but also is incredibly compassionate. My dog is older, and she was great about giving him the right amount of activity and attention based on his behavior each day. I’ll be recommending Valerie to everyone I know.”

About: I have been surrounded by cats since I was a baby. I currently have two cats and would love to take care of yours like it was mine! I was trying to make a cat only profile but I could not find the only option. I'm currently trying to build a playpen out of my garage to board cats only. Each cat will have a big size enclosure and have individual brakes to play and roam around the playpen by himself. I plan to keep them separate from other possible guest cats to avoid any physical confrontation. You can bring your own food, toys and bed. Let me know if you have any questions or if you cat needs any special accommodations. I'll hope to hear from you!

“Maria is so caring of our pup! We felt very comfortable knowing that our dog was well taken care of and genuinely cared for. She’s very open with communication which was very appreciated. She’s a great choice when you’re looking for a sitter!”

“Nianna was absolutely amazing with my dogs during her daily drop-in. She was reliable, communicative, and always made sure to send updates and photos so I knew they were in great hands. My dogs adored her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she truly cared for them. I couldn’t speak more highly of her and will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all personalities and needs. I’ve had cats since I was 7 years old and grew up helping care for my neighbors’ cats, so I’m very comfortable with feline behavior, routines, and building trust with even the more independent or shy kitties. In college, I volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, and I adopted one of my own cats from there. I also grew up with dogs, including a Doberman and an English Bulldog, and today I have two Dobermans of my own. This has given me a strong understanding of both high-energy breeds and those that need a little extra patience and care. I’m also familiar with managing special needs, including caring for cats with megacolon, or who need special dietary needs. I’m attentive to health considerations and comfortable following specific care routines when needed. Whether your pet loves playtime, structure, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and attentive throughout the day. I’m typically available for walks, drop-ins, or check-ins in the evenings and on most weekends. I also enjoy staying active, whether it’s going on hikes or getting outside, so I love incorporating dogs into that time for walks, fresh air, and exercise. Overall, my schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while making sure pets get plenty of attention and activity. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their environment safe, calm, and consistent with their normal routine. I’m very respectful of others’ spaces and naturally clean and organized; I treat every home as if it were my own. I make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are always secure, and I carefully follow all instructions to maintain your pet’s usual schedule, feeding routines, and comfort. Building trust is very important to me, both with pets and their owners. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, and I’m attentive to their behavior to ensure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are in good hands.

About: Hi, I’m Victoria. Im a third year Biological Sciences major at UC Davis. I’ve taken care of my 12-year-old Corgi and 8-year-old Shih-Tzu/Poodle Mix as they’ve grown up. Looking forward to start walking and looking after pets here as I’ve moved to Davis for college. I currently live local to the Davis area! I’ve always have a passion for animals, and do not mind learning to be able to cater to your beloved pets needs so they’re well taken care of. Please do not hesitate to reach out so we can discuss what works best for you, and how I can make your experience, whether it’s a vacation or family emergency, as smooth as possible back at home. I know the stress of missing your babies while you’re away, and want to alleviate as much of that as possible through constant communication/photos. I work 7am-11pm as a CNA per diem currently, but am available during the day (and lots of nights) to provide care and check-ins on your beautiful fur babies! :) We will further discuss in-depth specific safety precautions and preferred methods of securing your pets to ensure they’re well taken care, happy, and feel loved and safe when in my care. During our meeting, we will discuss various things such of if your pet is a master escape artist, triggers, dislikes, if they use a crate, and much more. Safety is truly my number one priority.

About: I love for animals, I’m reliable and provide attentive care. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, giving your pet one-on-one attention, fun playtime, and plenty of affection.

I go beyond and above to keep things clean, calm, and consistent with refilling food and water, scooping litter boxes, and making sure your pet feels loved and secure until you’re home again.

“Camille took great care of my two dogs and walked them daily. She gave thorough updates and check-ins. When I checked in on the puppy camera I could see my dogs waiting by the door for her to arrive. She eased any anxieties I had about leaving my dogs with someone else. My family would work with her again in the future.”

“I went on a work trip to DC for a week and Brandon made having to leave Drax at home so much easier and took a lot of stress out of it. He provided daily updates and did even more than I even expected him to do. I am sure Drax is going to miss the week he spent with Brandon checking on him and keeping him company”

About: I have over six years of experience dog sitting, providing dependable and loving care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable working with young puppies who need extra attention, patience, and training reinforcement, as well as adult dogs, including those that are spayed or neutered. I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or simply giving them companionship. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m currently unemployed and have a flexible schedule while I look for work. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet, including morning, midday, and evening care. I can easily adapt to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs, making sure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have two friendly dogs—a Golden Retriever and a Golden Lab mix—and ensure all pets are introduced safely and supervised. Pets in my care receive regular walks, playtime, and stay on their normal routines. In clients’ homes, I follow all instructions closely, keep the space secure and clean, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
