Pet Sitting Berryessa Highlands

About: Hello my name is Aléna, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was little. Animals are so amazing to me and I love their personality’s. Looking forward to meeting you pet. My availability is really open, don’t have any dogs of my own, but grew up with them. I miss the connection. So I thought, I would put myself out there, to help service them. In my home I care for my cat Bella by giving her lots of love and making sure to keep her litter box cleaned and let her have her outside time around the yard. My cat Toby, I give him treats and try to teach him some tricks. Give lots of attention and time to play with his toys. He’s a little monster but I love him. Having a clean environment is not only necessary for your animals but yourself. I do the litter box multiple times a week.

“Siarra did a wonderful job dropping in twice a day to care for our cat. She gave him extra love and attention when she could, even spending a whole morning with him. He got supervised outdoor time as requested and I appreciated the many cute photos she sent. Siarra was very prompt with communicating with me. I would love to have her provide pet care in the future :)”

“Aryana was so great at responding quickly, giving us updates, and spending time with our cats while we were away. She even swept up some litter mess for us while she was there to feed them. Thank you so much!”

“Morgan was so wonderful! Needed a mid day drop-in for my senior dog. Reached out with only a day or so notice (my fault) and Morgan was able to help no problem! Always nice to have a sitter in the area you can count on and trust, Morgan is definitely on my list ᵕ̈”

“Logan's drop-in visits with our seniorly cat were just the ticket. We got a long weekend out of town and Mello was well cared for. He got his meds, food, clean up, plus play time and brushing. Adorable photos, too. This was preceded by a thoroughly enjoyable meet and greet. We'll certainly have Logan as our pet sitter again.”

About: My family loves animals so I have been a pet owner practically my whole life! I've cared for birds, cats, fish, and even a house full of puppies so I am no stranger to pet multitasking. With me, your pets will feel right at home. I'm very laid back, patient, and nurturing, and I give each four legged friend the attention they may need. Let me know what matters to you and your little buddies and I can promise that your needs will be taken care of! My home is a stress free environment where all animals are welcome and treated with respect. I am very serious about the care I provide and will assure you that your pet's will be happy and safe with me. I have a work schedule that is very flexible. I can accommodate to my clients with at least 24 to 48 hour notice. I’m available most days of the week and can move my personal appointments around if needed. I have a fenced yard over 6000 ft.² for dogs to run around. Unfortunately, I have some special puppies of my own and I’m not able to offer my home at the moment.

About: I absolutely love All dogs. Completely comfortable will ALL sizes and breeds! Ive had and taken care of dogs my whole life! I have a fenced in yard in a lovely neighborhood. I have rasied large medium and small dogs so i have experience with many diffrent breeds. Having that experience also has allowed me to work with non neutered/spayed and neutered/spayed. I hate to say it but animals can get in altercations and I have no problem stepping in and seperating the animals. Their safety comes first. I am well versed with fur babies that have separation anxiety and have had quite a few come for day care so I could help with their separation anxiety and ease them of it as well! I know some great training techniques and can help show you how to continue on at home! I am a full time home maker so your best friend will not be lonely! I do have a 9 year old so your pup can also have the joy of playing with a child (unless told otherwise). My home is avery high energy household and we are capable of playing with all kinds of breeds. Currently i have 2 friendly German shepherds, Obi-wan kenobi who is 10 and princess leia who is 4. I offer boarding, long term boarding, house sitting, daycare and drop in visits! Since I am a stay at home mom your pups needs will be catered to as if they were my own child! My schedule is wide open and flexible with the exception of my sons school schedule for drop offs and pick ups and the occasional grocery store run! I'm able to exercise, play with, love, and help train your fur baby as needed. I have a fenced in yard and an oped laid out home. Since I am a stay at home mom I can care for your baby on their own schedule! If they need walks or socialization and even if they need help with their separation or social anxiety im your gal! I have an extremely flexible schedule as i am a stay at home mom. I can easily mold my schedule the the pups needs and clients expectations. I play with, cuddle, walk and feed pups on their schedule in my home and other homes! I'm respectful of my clients homes and make sure to follow their directions when visiting their pups in their homes. When my clients leave their pups in my care at my hose I make sure to make their dogs feel comfortable and safe in my home!

“Such a great experience working with Kayla.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I love going on walks, playing, giving cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work as an on-call pharmacy technician, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m also enrolled in school with online classes, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. I’d love to spend that extra time caring for and keeping your pets company! I have the flexibility to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I have one dog at home and we have a doggy door that gives him access to our back yard that is fenced and gated.

About: With three decades of hands-on experience, I’ve had the joy and responsibility of caring for a wide range of animals and homes. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication, multi-pet households to quiet countryside retreats, I’ve built a reputation for being dependable, detail-oriented, and deeply caring. Over the years, I’ve cared for: • Dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels • Cats with a wide range of personalities and needs • Rabbits, turtles, fish, and other small animals • Homes big and small—always kept clean, secure, and well-tended What sets me apart is my consistency and calm presence. I show up on time, follow routines as requested, and keep in regular communication while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medication, watering plants, bringing in the mail, or offering your pets lots of playtime and affection, I approach each sit with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own home and animals. Over the years, many of my clients have become repeat families and even friends—because they know they can trust me to show up with integrity, kindness, and competence every single time. I am a yoga facilitator and artist focused on intentional living. I love nature wanders and being present with all creatures I get to encounter. I follow each animal’s schedule—morning walks, feeding, medication, play, and check-ins—while keeping the home clean and calm. I stay observant and responsive, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. In your home or mine, I follow each pet’s routine with care—feeding, walks, meds, play, and rest. I create a calm, safe space and stay attentive to their needs, keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

“Laura was great, very communicative and did a great job looking after my cat. The updates and pictures were very reassuring. Would definitely hire her again for petsitting.”

About: I’m patient and compassionate with older pets, and I’m comfortable with administering medications, helping with mobility, and understanding the signs of discomfort or stress. I’ve worked with everything from high energy puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need gentle care, medication, and a slower pace. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine especially with pets of my own. It’s not just a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, making sure they receive consistent attention, feeding, playtime, walks, and any special care they require. Whether it's early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening cuddle sessions, I build my day to align with each pet's routine as closely as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions carefully to stick to your pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get the right amount of exercise, and have clean water and a tidy space. I also take time for play, affection, or just quiet companionship! Whatever your pet is most comfortable with. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and always provide updates so you know your pet is doing great while you’re away.

About: I am a dog lover and fiber artist who works from our currently petless home. Our beloved Chu-chan (who I often used as a model for my tapestries) passed a few years ago. My high school teacher husband, Dennis, and I miss her lots and would be happy to care for your dear house trained over 2 year old pup while you are away. Doggies must be up to date on their shots, on a flea prevention regimen, NOT use 'pee pads' inside the house, wear dog tags (whether or not they have a chip), and, especially, be able to sleep on their own in the living room. We prefer dogs under 40 pounds but larger, mellow dogs might also be workable. Pup can hang with me as I weave in my studio or have free rein of the fenced back yard. I'm happy to take breaks during the day for puppy walks. We are conveniently located in Walnut Creek near the Iron Horse Trail and can walk or drive to the Heather Farm Dog Park. Various open space trails are also a short drive away. Currently we do not have any animals living with us- just my husband and I- and are happy to host yours. Our fee, before Rover's add-on charges, per 24 hrs. is $50 ($60 holidays) if your dog can be with other dogs- we like to have 2 to 3 dogs at a time. Please be aware that Rover does add additional fees- the number you see listed on the site is the total per day fee. If your pup does not get on well with other dogs and needs to be the only 4 legger around the fee is $150 per 24 hours if we can accommodate you. In addition to overnight boarding we accept dogs for daycare in our home. For daycare during the daytime our fee is $45 or $50 during holidays- again, Rover tacks fees on so check to total price on the website. Please identify any food bowls you bring with your dog's name on them and know that we don't guarantee that any toys you bring will not be damaged ;) Please check the calendar for availability as I might be away leading trips to Guatemala to explore the Mayan Textile Culture or in Japan showing my artwork**. I also speak Japanese and Spanish ** Even if the calendar says unavailable please feel free to send an inquiry as we might be able to accomodate you depending on the timing of drop off and pick up. I work from home and am almost always there. Happy to have doggies around when I work and also happy to let them out into the fenced backyard when they desire.

About: Hello, friend!!! I have been housesitting and caring for other's pets, homes, and gardens since my teen years. As a writer I spend a lot of time working from home, meaning that I will largely be available throughout the day to give your pets all the attention they need and ease the discomfort of having their loved one (you!) away for a while. Staying attuned to an animal's needs comes naturally for me as it brings me fulfillment as well. Cats are my absolute favorite - I have had a cat as a companion in every stage of my life and cared for many more. I have cared for many dogs as well, but mostly quieter dogs with a "cat-like" demeanor. I have sensory sensitives so I am unable to care for younger and more energetic dogs that bark a lot. (Barking because excited for certain activities is expected and fine, though). Other pets I have owned and cared for include smaller pets such as goldfish, bearded dragons, hermit crabs, snakes, and tarantulas. I have great respect for what a home means and treat every space I am in with reverence, keeping it clean and cared for. I also have light experience gardening and am comfortable watering a mass of plants! I have housesat several locations that have an entire array of potted plants. I always make sure they are well tended to and kept as lively as ever! A little bit about me - I am a 35 year old writer and performance artist. (They/them pronouns). I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, and attended college in Santa Fe, New Mexico where I received my BA in Creative Writing and Literature. I remained in the beautiful high desert for close to a decade in earlier adulthood. The culture and gorgeous landscapes of both Northern California and New Mexico have deeply informed who I am. I've also worked in childcare and children's entertainment. Being a caretaker has always come naturally to me and often brings me a sense of fulfillment. Some of my favorite activities (other than writing and performing) are hiking, reading, dancing, reading tarot, and making art. Any of my close loved ones will tell you I am a calm, kind, humorous, intelligent, and thoughtful person who approaches all things in life from the heart and with great intention. I can't wait to meet you and give your beloved pets the attention and love they deserve while you go on your next great adventure! Since I mostly work from home writing, pet care easily fits into my daily schedule. Occasionally, I have live performances and community events but when I am needed all day elsewhere I typically know well in advance and can communicate with you effectively to make sure this housesit is still a good fit for both of us and especially your beloved pet! All pet care will take place in your home, so I will keep your pets' routine as stated, ensuring that nothing is disrupted for them aside from your departure. Plants and home will also be cared for as you would care for it. Cleanliness is part of my values, so you can expect your home to be as organized and neat as you left it. I do not do deep cleaning such as vacuuming unless previously negotiated.

“Caitlyn is great at following instructions and she’s always very responsive. We’ve had her do drop in visits many times for our 10 month old kitten Haku. He loves her! :)”
