House Sitting in Avena

“Donna was amazing with all my little doggies. She really went the extra mile to ensure my doggies were comfortable and well taken care of. She was very sweet to my boys and did everything just as I would do so that made me feel so content leaving them with her. She sent me photos and text updates my entire trip and I very much loved seeing them everyday. She’s amazing and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Donna for all that you did I really appreciate you.”

“Makayla so obviously loves animals! Our 11 month old Lab “puppy” is crazy about her and could care less when my husband and I leave. I don’t need to worry at all while we’re away, plus we get photos and updates too. She’s intelligent, caring and personable. We will most definitely call on her again. Jan &Tex Billings”

“Anjie got along with my dog at the moment they met, and he can be shy. She was very communicative the entire time and took great care of my dog. Will book again when the opportunity arises.”

About: I live on a dairy farm and have 5 dogs so I have had plenty of experience being around animals. I have been a sitter for family and friend’s animals including dog walking/overnight stays/bathing. I have cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens! I have many years of experience taking care of elderly dogs and cats making sure they’re comfortable. As well as puppies and sick dogs that need extra care and attention. I am currently going to school at Modesto Junior College pursuing a career in animal science to become a veterinary radiologist! So I have plenty of down time during the day and after classes and there is nothing better to me than to spend my extra time caring for your amazing pets! I have 3 dogs of my own and I feed, bathe, feed, walk, and give plenty of love to them! I am a very organized and tidy person which I can translate into your own home especially for pets who are not potty trained, I do not mind cleaning up after them! We all make mistakes! Because I have my own dogs, I do not feel comfortable having your lovely pets at my own home because of safety reasons but I can assure that I can care for your pets just as great in your home and make sure it is very tidy and clean when you come back!!

About: Though I don’t have any dogs right now, I miss having them around. Growing up I was trusted to take care of my neighbors dog while they were away and I was the only kid that their dog actually liked! We had a pit bull named Shorty when I was younger and he was my best friend. I used to give him his medicine everyday and take him on walks regularly. My whole family has had me train their dogs as I grew up; I have quite a knack at it. In my care your dog will be loved and taken care of as if it were my own!! Currently I’m waiting to apply to college in the fall so I have ample free time!! Whatever money I make from this will go towards paying for college where I plan to go into the medical field ! Whatever instructions you give me I will make sure to follow them to a T. In my home I’m always spending time with my babies, whether that means playing or just relaxing. I always make sure they have fresh water and I feed them on time every morning and night.

“Melissa was very helpful and watching Miss Bella and even took pictures to send them to me. She walked her frequently.. I would use Melissa again Miss Bella really enjoyed her.”

“Maria was amazing with our dogs. They can be a bit of a handful sometimes and she did great, especially with the one dog who is a runner. We 100% trust her with our babies in the future.”

About: I've grown up taking care of all sorts of pets from tons of dogs to cats to snakes to turtles. I have a very open schedule and am able to provide any services listed I'm a online college student studying psychology with a passion for pets. I currently am an undergraduate and am trying to gain more experience with not only animals, but people. Having an open availability allows me time to really care for and look after each pet in my home. For safety I regularly keep things such as wound care, air purifiers, humidifiers, emergency numbers and hospitals, and an extra large kennel just in case. I pay close attention to animals and keep a clean tidy space thats ready for animals to explore and relax in while you're away.

About: With a knack for creating engaging social media content, I keep pet parents updated with fun and heartwarming snapshots of their furry friends during their stay. My attention to detail ensures every pet’s unique needs are met, from dietary preferences to favorite playtime routines. I’m dedicated to making each pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! As a full-time realtor and proud cat mom, pet care is a natural extension of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to balance property showings and client meetings with giving pets the love and attention they deserve. Caring for my Scottish Fold, Besitos, has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s a midday walk or a cozy evening cuddle, I’m committed to ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and cared for throughout their time with me. In my home, I provide pets with a clean, safe, and welcoming environment, complete with a securely fenced yard for play and exploration. I prioritize comfort by creating cozy resting areas and ensuring they feel right at home. When caring for pets in their own space, I treat their home with the same respect and mindfulness as I would my own. I pay close attention to routines, special instructions, and unique needs, ensuring each pet feels loved and secure, whether at my place or theirs.

“Michael was AMAZING! We needed someone to take care of the dogs and stay at the house last minute and he was so responsive and helpful. Both the dogs absolutely loved him and were obviously loving all extra attention they got from Michael during their stay together. He was super responsive and sent many updates. And the house was totally clean and put together when we got home. 5 stars, A+, highly recommend!!”

About: I am a dog owner, looking to care for other dogs at my home! I have a very playful 2year old Labrador who would love to have company. Two is better than one. My wife and I would take care and keep an eye on your fur babies when you’re out for travel, short trips, vacaciones holidays or others occasions. I have a fenced yard for play and potty time. I also have a full house so you dog would never be alone because I work from home and so does my wife. We let our dogs roam free in the house.

About: I’ve had all sorts of animals since I was a girl, I’ve taken care of many dogs my family has rescued. I’ve taken care of seniors to week old pups. I’m currently in college part time so I’m always free to take care of your babies! I’m currently in school to become a vet technician so this will definitely benefit me in the future. I have a nice fenced in backyard with two senior dogs. I also have one green cheeked conure who mainly stays in her cage for the day. I also have a new puppy, she’s a ball of energy but super friendly!

About: I have always taken care of the pups and kitties at home while everyone was out at their jobs or when everyone was busy! I just love to play with them and try to teach them new tricks. Currently I work a half time job usually at nights. I get two days off a week. So I’m mostly available in the morning! But could always check in at nights! My dog stays inside and has a doggy door to the backyard for potty training. I play with her and she sleeps with me in my bed at nights. When I leave for work my mom gets home so she mainly stays inside but has access to the backyard

About: Located on a 5 acre beautiful land that’s the best vacation spot for your pup! Need to run? We have the space completely fenced off! Have a curious escape artist? We have options for fully enclosed safe outside time (yard section with high fences, a fully enclosed catio, etc). I am passionate to provide dog boarding that’s like a second home to those that don’t want their dogs stuck in metal crates like typical boarding goes for dogs at vets, groomers, or boarding facilities. Here your dog will be happy to see us, and eager to come back! I have one crate only that is provided if needed, but I am happy to use a crate you bring if your dog is crate trained for night time. If not, then they will be free to roam and choose a couch to sleep on or snuggle with us in the bed. I have cared for a large variety of animals personally and professionally over the course of my entire life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Life is better with animals and I want to share the love and help wherever needed! I am someone that has fostered/rescued and returned any lost pets I pass by, I just can’t drive by without trying to do something. Here all animals are part of the family. Professionally: -PetSmart Dog Trainer -Crazy Horse Equine Vet Assistant -USEF Equine Technician -neighborhood pet sitting & pet care -trained certified therapy dogs through Therapy Dogs International I care for cats, dogs, chickens, and horses daily. I am a stay at home parent and that provides me with a very flexible schedule I am happy to include your pet in! I stay home with my animals, kids, and work on homesteading around the house all day. Pet care is part of my daily life the moment I wake up until I go to bed. I care for others pets as if they were my own, whether that’s a dog drop in, a walk, or dog boarding. Full of love, fun, and snuggles!
