About: When you have 5 kids in the house, we ended up with a lot of different animals! We had everything, giant fish tanks with specialty fish, bunnies, hamsters, snakes, frogs, birds, lizards, of course dogs and cats, and we even fostered an opossum while we waited for the wildlife refuge to come get him. It teaches you a lot of responsibility at a young age and it gave me a lot of compassion for animals too. Pets are a privilege and we're so lucky to have them. I'm finishing up classes and preparing to transfer to Cal Poly for landscape architecture but I'm done for the summer. Back to serving and time to make some extra money! In my home my cats have a strict feeding schedule and a variety of feeding needs. One only gets wet food and dry food makes her sick, one will eat until he pops and the other free feeds with a microchip activated food bowl to protect from the previously mentioned fatty. I understand the complications that come with having pets, especially multiple pets, and I have all the love and patience in the world to give.
“Kim was great with my senior kitty! She came prepared at the meet and greet and I knew my cat was in good hands while I was gone. She was communicative and kept me updated after every drop in visit. I highly recommend Kim!”
About: Growing up with multiple dogs, cats, and horses, I’ve never known a life without a furry companion. I understand how important your little loved ones are to you, they’re not just pets, they’re family! I have been blessed to serve in cat kennels, pet sitting for friends and enjoy spending my free time learning more about animal/pet behaviors through documentaries and writings. I know there is no one size fits all for best pet care and want to make sure you receive a personalized experience that meets all your pet’s needs! Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to serving! I am your perfect daytime dog walker or cat carer! My schedule allows for any Monday - Friday 8 am - 5 pm visitation, perfect for help while you’re away at work. For other hours and availability, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am comfortable and excited to take your dog on an enthusiastic neighborhood walk, allowing them to stretch and get their zoomies out! I can offer play, feed, clean kennels, clean litter boxes, send photos/videos and offer plenty of pets during a home drop by! Please message me anytime for any specifics.
“Jake was awesome watching our cat! She likes to hide but he was always able to find her! We appreciated him checking up on her every day and giving her treats if she was willing. Very responsive and reliable :)”
“Mark P was fantastic with our dogs. We were staying at Pismo Coast RV resort and after meeting Mark the day before, we felt comfortable about leaving our dogs in his care. A fellow camper told us the next day that they saw Mark walking the dogs. We will definitely use him again.”

About: I am currently attending Cal Poly in Animal Science with a Pre Veterinary concentration. I am currently saving up for vet school so I can continue my education. I have experience with administering medications or caring for more attention seeking animals. My family owns an English bulldog who requires a lot of care and attention. I am also very active and love to go on hikes and adventures. I love to keep owners up to date with their animals and send pictures and updates. Hopefully I can give the love and attention to your animals the way your family does while you are away! I am currently available everyday for what your pet needs. I will need to be with my own animals for a few hours of each day but it will be flexible based on your needs. I am an animal lover who makes sure that the animals at my home and yours are happy and healthy. Every pet that is under my care will be treated as if it was my own. I also can give updates as much or little as you would like so you know that your pet is safe and happy. My priority is your pet and your peace of mind as an owner
About: I’ve had 4 cats and 3 dogs that I took care of since I was 10. Including feeding, walking, cleaning after, and playing with them. I’ve also taken care of my neighbors dogs while they went on vacation several times. I have recently graduated college and moved away from my parent’s house, so I don’t currently have any of my own pets that I take care of. I’m currently working a full-time job during the week. I leave around 5:30am and get home at 6:00pm. I have flexibility to leave work earlier occasionally if needed. My weekends are typically free as long as I’m not traveling. I can’t take pets back to my apartment because there is a no pets allowed policy. But I can travel to your home to pet sit or walk your dogs and will, of course, be respectful of your home and space.

“Madison has cared for our dogs and cats ( and horses) for a very long time . Madi is my daughter and we have always had pets. At a young age she took a big part of the feeding , walking and playing for the dogs and cats and litter box cleaning for the cats ( which no one else in the house was fond of doing ). When she was older and we would travel out of town I always felt at ease knowing she was taking care of all the animals. She is responsible, capable and loves animals .”

She goes above and beyond—making sure they’re not only fed and walked, but truly cared for. She’s attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My dogs adore her, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone to treat your pets like family, Izzy is the one!”
