About: I worked for a professional pet sitting company in Los Angeles, Sitter4Paws, for about a year, where I cared for over 150 clients including both dogs and cats. Through that experience, I learned how to administer medications, handle grooming needs, follow detailed feeding instructions, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and manage behavioral issues like anxiety or aggression. I’m confident with handling pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Aside from my professional experience, I have spent most of my life caring, raising, and training animals. Throughout the years, I have had 7 dogs, 2 cats, 6 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, and even a mouse. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 guinea pig, so pet care is truly a part of my daily life. My lifelong connection to animals, combined with my hands-on training and experience, allows me to give pets not only proper care, but also the patience and understanding they deserve. My goal is to make every animal I care for feel safe, happy, and truly loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available anytime, any day, for however long you need! I have a completely flexible schedule with no restrictions, and I’m happy to come to you wherever you are.

I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel secure and relaxed. I closely follow any routines or instructions provided, including feeding, walks, medication, and training. I always keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, so I provide regular updates and treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m also fully flexible on timing and location, so I can adjust to whatever works best for you and your pet

About: I’ve taken very good care of my family dogs and cats for about 12 years. My family dog, Coco, is 16yrs old and so he has to have a lot of care, which I’ve been helping out with a lot! I’ve also house sat for my friend’s dog and cat a couple times. When I stay at my boyfriend’s place I walk his dog when she needs to go out and I also just hang out with her so she isn’t alone! I’m currently a full time college student, but I’m hoping to find some dog walking jobs or caring for cats to make a little extra money for school! I look forward to helping you out with your pups or kitties or both! :) I do not offer caring for pets in my home. I do offer dog walking services and caring for cats, and I am pretty good at crating dogs. I also am capable of giving your dogs oral medication if needed!

About: I’m a young artist from Austin now living in Grass Valley with my wife and rose garden. I’ve grown up around pets all my life. I had two large mastiffs and a very loud Labrador retriever as well as many cats, parakeet and fish at an early age. I’m familiar with feeding, cleaning, loving and exercising fury friends. During my time living in Austin, I have become an experienced and reputable house sitter. In a community based environment, I have cared for the home’s cleanliness, health of plants, pets and children of various friends and acquaintances. My interests: Nowadays I practice wholistic healing and bodywork via sound healing, body massage, and yoga with interest in learning and experiencing more. I enjoy taking time connecting with the earth through botany, ecstatic dance, meditation and of course, being around animals. Thanks for reading, if you have any questions feel free to reach out I’m pretty flexible with my schedule, just reach out 48 hours ahead of time at the very latest to see if our schedules align with your traveling needs.

About: I have been pet sitting for friends/neighbors since I was 12 years old. I grew up on a farm & raised dogs and kittens. This naturally led to a love of animals-- my first job was at a vet hospital where I stayed for several years & trained to become a vet tech. In this role, I also house & pet sat for clients. Now I work from home and find that I miss the company of my coworkers. Please let your pets keep me company! (Fur babies always were my favorite "coworkers" anyway). I have plenty of time on my hands for pet sitting & dog walking. I am a dog mom to a tenderhearted 9 year old golden cocker, and 8 year old orange tabby. I am trained in medication administration (oral and subcutaneous) and first aid. My yard is not fully fenced but I live on just over 0.5 acres and use a leash when taking dogs out to potty. I have a fenced deck and secured sun room so your fur baby can still get sun time in a secured setting. For dogs that want more time outside such as for longer walks and fetch, I enjoy going for longer walks at my nearby nature preserve or, if you prefer, can transport your fur baby to the local dog park for some fetch time. I work from home 5 days a week and have a flexible schedule to fit your pets' needs. I can design my day around needing to arrive at your home for specific feeding or walk times as needed. I own my own business so my schedule is very flexible. When your pets are under my care, I will not be working, so that your pets have my full and undivided attention. I am available to watch your fur baby in my home, or I can come to your home for pet sitting and/or dog walking services. When I walk with a dog, they are always on leash. When I watch your pets, I am here to attend to their needs and your requests. I am very attuned to animals’ needs and how they communicate. I love to curl up on the couch and snuggle your fur baby if that’s what they want. I’m also just as happy to get on the floor to play with your pet, whether that’s with their toys, laser pointer, etc.

Simone V.
“Simone is a responsible person that has worked for me on and off for over a year, as needed. She is an animal lover (big time) and I always know she will take good care of my dogs and they LOVE her.

She has come in a pinch to help me out when whelping puppies: monitoring fetal heart rates, clasping umbilical cords, and getting them nursing. She has also come and walked my dogs on various occasions when I was out-of-town. She is very reliable, responsible with a bonus of having a lot of experience with animals! A win-win!”

Christian A.
“He's a very responsible dog sitter. Loves to take his dog for walks or runs. His dog is a very healthy pet he takes really good care of her. One time I had to go out of town and a left my two dogs for him to dog sit. I was very impressed, he took care of them like if they where his. I highly recommend him.”
Logan F.
“As a single woman and a professional, I found I just could not keep up with my cleaning at my home. Logan would come to my house with her sweet Aussie, Dakota and help me with housecleaning. It was not long after that that I got two kittens while at the same time, my mom, who lives 5 hours away, started to have failing health. At first, I was worried about my kittens with a dog, because I had never seen dogs and cats get along. Logan made me feel very comfortable, and she showed me how to introduce our pets to each other. She had lots of trust that it would be ok, because Dakota was very docile with cats and other dogs. Having Logan available to pet sit and house sit was such a relief. Knowing that my cats and my home were in good hands, I was able to leave my home and put my attention towards my mom. Additionally, Logan's communication with me was reassuring. She showed up when she said she would and texted me when she had questions or if there was any issue and she sent me photos of my kittens. My house was also really clean when I came home!”

Adrian M.
“My family and I have been so grateful to have found Adrian. We have two senior pets, a 12-year-old chocolate lab and a 16-year-old indoor cat. Going out of town was not easy to do before meeting Adrian. Our senior pets have morning and evening feeding schedules that require more than scooping a cup of kibble. Adrian was prompt morning and night in our absence and treated them with love and care. We have always felt secure leaving knowing that she would care for them like they are her own. If you are looking for someone who is dependable and loving to care for your pets, she is fantastic.”
Julian F.

Melissa A.
“Melissa was an absolutely awesome dog walker and she was great with our new puppy Peaches. She taught Peaches leash manners and dog park manners. The photos that she sent throughout the visit were the highlight of my day. It’s hard to trust your puppy with someone but I absolutely trusted Melissa. She is very experienced”
