Pet Sitting Barstow

About: I have grown up with dogs for most of my life, I have helped raised 5 dogs in my family's home. I have learned to raise dogs since they were born. I've learned how to train them when I used to go to doggy training at petco. How to keep them active, how to play with them, relax with them, bathe them. I know such a good amount of knowledge and it still surprises me when I learn something new. I love and adore dogs. I am currently active duty, so my schedule usually ends with work off after 3 or 3:30pm. I am available weekends for whatever your animal needs. During the day when im at work my wife is a stay at home. So when I cant be their during my work hours shes my second pair of hands to help care and love your animal too. When I usually see my family and help care for the family pets, I love taking them to a park or a nice hike/walk. I think it's super important for dogs to be as active as possible (well at least untill they used up all their energy for the day) to make sure they get their bones and muscles moving to keep them healthy. Then a nice warm bath to make sure they stay clean and fresh. I usually like to spend at least a hour with redoing the tricks they have been taught. So it stays fresh in their memory and to make sure they aren't getting rusty on doing the trick. Then usually it's the end of the day, the dog had exceeded the energy for the day and it is now ready to relax. Anything you need help with for your animal can be taken care of. For my feline friends I have 2 cats of my own which are so gentle and loving towards other animals. I have never had a problem with them meeting a new animal. I live in a 2 story house so alot of room for your animal to walk around and feel safe

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and feel very comfortable caring for all kinds of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve watched all kinds of breeds including, but not limited to, Pit Bulls, Great Danes, Yorkies, Doodles, Huskies, and more. I’m used to adjusting my care to fit each dog. I also worked for two years at a dog grooming shop where it was just me and the groomer, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience handling dogs, reading body language, and helping dogs who were nervous or high-energy stay calm and safe. I’ve had my own dog for 8 years, so I truly understand how important routine, trust, and good communication are when it comes to caring for someone else’s pet. I take a relaxed but attentive approach and focus on making dogs feel comfortable, safe, and cared for—like they’re at home. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m home full time, which allows me to have full availability. I am also flexible and can accommodate longer stays, frequent check-ins, or last-minute needs. I provide attentive, structured care specific to each pet’s needs. In my home, dogs have access to a large, fully fenced backyard (1 acre) for safe outdoor play. I can walk/run dogs, and I also have transportation to take dogs to parks and trails. I’m happy to crate dogs if a crate is provided but prefer to let them free range. If a dog needs space, rest, or separation, I have plenty of private areas. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, but I’m very mindful about introductions and compatibility.

“Lauren did amazing with Major, he usually gets scared with people and won’t come out of his crate but she got him to go outside and potty! He also made a few messes but she cleaned it up and kept me updated on everything! I really appreciate her help and would recommend her help!”

About: Librarian dog mom here! I have a huge love of all animals. I have had dogs off and on most of my life. The longest, however was with my soul dog, Wrinkles. He was adopted from a puppy mill around 2-4 months old and I raised him until he passed away from cancer in November of 2020. I now am co-parent to a rambunctious puppy I adopted in February of 2021 (who lives with grandpa), named Freckles. I am also co-parent to a sweet boy who is around 7-8 years old, that belongs to my partner and is named Max (or his official name of Sir Maximillian of the Beef and Bacon Foots). In February of 2025 we adopted our little mali-gator Beatrix "Goo Goo Muck". Bertie for short. She's something else. She is a year and some change old now and growing like a weed! I am a librarian/ archivist/information specialist but due to current health I have taken a sabbatical from work. I have a huge love of animals. I would absolutely love nothing more than to spend my free time, not only petting and playing with precious animals, but helping someone out by being able to leave their furbaby with someone trustworthy, reliable, and not out to break your wallet. I would love to schedule a time with you to come for a meet and greet and get to know your furbaby a little prior to the first housesitting or drop-in visit. Because my partner's dog is reactionary, I cannot host your furbabies at my place. However, I am available to house-sit for a few hours or overnights. Not only does it work best for me, I think it is best to keep your pet in their own home and maintain their own routine.

“Was very amazing with my cats! My youngest cat is very timid and runs at the sight of anyone else other than me. He was always out and about when she was there! Very flexible with schedule as well! Overall 10/10, will be booking again!”

“Adalia did an awesome job with my two cats. I received rover report cards and pictures every day. On the last day Ellie had a digestive issue and Adalia cleaned it up even though I said I could do it the next day. Will definitely use her again if she is available.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life. I’ve worked at two animal shelters, socializing dogs, playing with them, feeding them on time, bathing them. I’ve owned four dogs, two of them recently passed and lived up to ages 16 and 12. I’ve lived with my cousin and her 4 large dogs with specific feeding needs and her 4 cats. The last shelter I worked at mostly had cats and kittens, some with special needs that I cared for. I’m not currently employed and have plenty of time in my schedule to give to an animal. I do not live alone, but still need to be home to help with my two. Nonetheless, I have lots of time on my hands right now. Any specific requirements they need, I will fulfill to my best abilities. Dogs and cats are weird creatures with weird specific needs sometimes. They have their ow personalities and likes and dislikes, so I understand. I can let them out for potty breaks, play with, and feed them. As long as there is a small list of instructions.

“What a fantastic first-time experience. Afton was professional and personable, I could also tell that my pets were well taken care of during my time away. I was originally wary of letting someone into my home for so many days, but everything was just as I left it, and my pets were very happy. It was fantastic having someone local, and I would definitely recommend Afton to anyone looking for pet care in the High Dessert or wherever she may venture to in the future.”

About: I have had dogs all my life and was always the one who took care of them and took them on walks and would love to keep your fur babies company while you’re away. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible and would love to have a fur baby join us on our daily walks. I have a large fenced in back yard and a son who also loves dogs and playing with them and is very gentle with them.

“Avril did a great job of taking care of my pup!”

About: I have had pets since I was very young. I currently have my loving Mia and she's been with me for 10 years. I will give your pets the love and attention they deserve while you're away! My pet sitting service offers personalized care, playtime, and cuddles to keep your furry friends happy and comfortable in the safety of their own home. Rest easy knowing your pets are in good hands! I do work during the week. I am an Instructional Aide for Silver Valley Unified School District. I work for one of the schools in Fort Irwin National Training Center. I can do drop-in visits during the week, but they would be after work. I have just moved to the area and I am looking to build a customer base. Whatever is normal routine for your dog! I think it’s important to maintain this balance for them while you’re away so they do not have added stress. It helps keep them feeling familiar and grounded in your absence, but I am always happy to add to that with new experiences and places. I do not have the capacity to allow clients animals into my home, yet am more than happy to travel to stay in someone’s house to care for their animals. Animals are generally more comfortable and confident in a space they are familiar with, and I am willing to travel to ensure your pet is cared for as best as possible.

“Mariah was GREAT! She watched our cats while we took a holiday trip this Thanksgiving and she was very attentive, caring, kind, and even sent us photos of our babies while we were gone! It was so reassuring knowing they were in such great hands! She is an animal lover who is currently studying to work with animals as well! We loved her care so much that we booked her for another vacation where we will be out of town! She will treat your pets the way you would treat them, it comes very natural to her!”

“Erica was so exceptional that even my people shy cat came out for some pets from her. I'm very happy and will book Erica if I ever need someone to take care of my cats again.”

About: I’ve always had animals around while growing up. I don’t think I can recall a time I haven’t had a pet. I even insisted on rescuing my dear Daizie May when I was 12 from the pound. I’ve helped raise several litters and rescue any dog I see in need. I have to actively stay off Facebook as to not fall into fostering or taking in any animal in need. My boyfriend calls me a Disney Princess with the way I communicate with my animals. It’s all about body language, respect, and patience. Trust is extremely important. I currently work a flexible schedule in my family owned business and am looking for side jobs that I also am passionate about. Any time that I’m needed I can usually make it work. I’m ready to follow and assist in whatever systems are set up in your family and household. Whatever your fur family is used to! Photos are VERY important and cherished.

About: My family had puppy dog named Hazel who we had for about 3 years. I used to play fetch with her in the backyard when I’d come home from school when I was around 10. I’d help with baths, walking her, my mom taught me how bring her inside when I was home alone doing homework, she behaved great and protected me well. A few years later, she passed from choking while eating something that I think had a bone in it and that was the first experience of heartbreak/loss. A few years after that, I adopted my current pet cat on my birthday, Ace, who I love so much. I’ve always loved animals and give pets to dogs whenever I have permission to, my best friend has many dogs so when I go over her house, I get all the cuddles and get drooled on, which I’m used to at this point. I love watching dog training videos and educating myself as I get older so when I finally get a dog again, as an adult, I want to be prepared and educated on how to protect their health, feed them properly and keep them safe with proper nutrition, exercise and training. I would personally love to get myself a Doberman or German Shepherd (Like Hazel was). I often go to my aunts house who has multiple chunky french bulldogs and help her in anyway I can, I enjoy how sweet dogs are and would love to help do any training techniques you’d love your little doggo to be working on while you are away. I am also in the process of my goal of losing 100lbs! So this helps me get the exercise I need while doing something I’m passionate about! Weekday and Weekends for now, preferably during the Morning & Afternoons on Weekdays and anytime as long as there is a day notice beforehand so I can clear my schedule just for your pet. Not currently doing pet sitting or boarding at my own home, maybe I will be more likely to in the future but I’m not sure yet.

About: Hi, I'm Chelsea! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first with me. ❤️ I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your pets, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re with someone who will genuinely care for them like they’re my own. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently have animals of my own, including dogs, cats, rats, and reptiles. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do for work, it’s something I truly love. I understand that no two pets are the same. Some want all the cuddles and attention, while others need patience and time to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, respect their boundaries, and take the time to learn their personality and what makes them feel safe. I’m comfortable with dogs of all different sizes, including large and strong breeds, and I understand how important it is to stay attentive and responsible on walks. Trust is also very important to me. I’ve worked with the same professional cleaning company for about 10 years, so I’m regularly trusted inside clients’ homes and understand the responsibility that comes with that. You can expect plenty of communication, photos, and updates while your pet is with me. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering if your pet is okay. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or caring for your pets while you’re away, they’ll receive the same love, patience, attention, and care I would want someone to give my own. Because to me, they’re never “just a pet.” They’re family. 🐾 I work part time and have a very flexible schedule to help with yours and your pets needs,most of the weekends im available as well! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow your care instructions carefully, provide plenty of love and attention, keep a clean and secure environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also send regular photo updates for peace of mind.
