Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Canyon Heights

About: Our own furbaby is dog reactive, so I definitely know the struggles of finding someone who understands! I’ve learned a lot of knowledge from our trainer and am very detail oriented/structured when it comes to our furbabies! I currently work full time but am looking for another source of income when I am free! I am a teacher so I have breaks off when the children do, and have plenty of weekends off as well for date nights, vacations, etc! I only provide pet care in clients home, as boarding in my own home would cause stress to our reactive dog. Open to learning and sticking to your schedule as much as possible so your furbaby doesn’t experience too much of a drastic change without you there!

“Jinhao was a pleasure to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and very responsive, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. He arrived right on time and it’s obvious he has a lot of experience and a genuine love for animals. My cat Sumo took to him almost immediately! Jinhao took care of all the essentials: feeding, fresh water, and scooping the litter, and also spent quality time playing with Sumo. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future.”

“I highly recommend booking Aurora to look after your pets! She is a great communicator, kept us updated and shared pictures with us of our pets while we were away. Will definitely book with her next time we are away!”

“Victoria dropped-in and kept my dogs safe. A huge help and relief to me.”

Menkah M.

“Taara was punctual and said Peeve was a good boy during her visit! He even took his medicine from her without a problem which makes me feel awesome about re-booking her. Thank you!”

About: I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m a true dog lover who understands the patience, care, and consistency it takes to make pups feel happy and secure. I’ve raised my own puppy from the start, learning firsthand how to train basic obedience commands and encourage good habits through positive reinforcement. I love spending time with dogs — whether it’s playing fetch, going for long walks, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I treat every dog I care for like my own, making sure they feel loved, safe, and well-exercised. You can count on me to be friendly, reliable, and trustworthy while helping your dog stay active, happy, and well-behaved! I am currently working with my company WFH and have flexibility of making my own hours. Weekends Tuesday, Thursday and Friday work best. But if I have 1 weeks notices whole week can work just need prior notice. Pets are welcome to be at our place. I have a 1 year old puppy at my place if not I am available to be at clients place. I live in 2 bed room apartment fenced long back patio. My dog is well behaved and house trained and loves dog company. I live very close to the beach 3 minutes walk and large grass areas around for pet to be relived. I have a large crate at home just in case clients need and dont need to get their own. I will be able to dog on regular potty breaks. Walk your dog separately so they can get all the attention they deserve while dog walks.

About: Hi, I’m Kaila—a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. What started as helping friends and family has turned into a true passion for providing pets with a safe, loving, and engaging environment while their humans are away. Why Choose Me? 🐶 For Dogs: 🐾 Experienced with All Ages & Special Needs – Whether it’s caring for a playful puppy, administering medication to a senior dog, or supporting a pet with special needs like epilepsy or anxiety, I have hands-on experience adapting care to fit each dog’s unique personality and health requirements. 🐾 Training Experience – I attended puppy training classes with Pimi, my former roommate’s shelter mix, and learned key training techniques in obedience, socialization, and leash manners. I also helped train a reactive pittie using positive reinforcement and high-reward treats to build confidence and trust. 🐾 Diverse Pet Care Background – From raising a litter of 11 puppies to helping my sister’s dog through pregnancy and birth, I have experience in every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve also helped socialize a high-energy cattle dog, managed a shy rescue pup’s trust-building journey, and cared for Norwegian Elkhounds with extensive grooming needs. 🐾 Reliable & Trustworthy – I take pet care seriously and ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, structured play, or a cozy evening on the couch, I tailor my care to fit your dog’s personality and energy levels. 🐾 Outdoor Adventures Available – If your pup loves exercise, I offer hikes (with owner approval) to keep them engaged and happy. 🐾 My Home & Resident Pets: I currently reside in Fremont, CA, in an apartment without a yard but with plenty of green spaces and parks nearby. I share my home with two friendly and well-socialized pets: - Cambria (Cambi): A 30 lb mutt born in August 2022, great with all dogs and cats. - Jupiter (Jupie): A 12 lb tabby cat born in 2019, excellent with all dogs and cats, and adept at gently correcting over-excitable dogs. Both Cambria and Jupiter can be separated from your pet by doors and doggy gates if needed, ensuring a comfortable environment for all. A Little More About Me & My Experience: 🐶 Dogs I’ve Cared For Include: • A pittie with reactivity triggers (Blu) • A shelter mix with epilepsy requiring daily meds (Pimi) • A cattle dog with high exercise needs (Dash) • A Norwegian Elkhound show dog with specialized grooming needs (Molly) • An elder Norwegian Elkhound requiring daily meds and support standing, etc. (Lucy) • A shy rescue pup that needed trust-building (Wiley) • A Ridgeback puppy with high energy and some resource guarding (Fern) What You Can Expect from Me: ✔️ Lots of love, playtime, and attention tailored to your pet’s personality ✔️ Medication administration (if needed) ✔️ Regular updates & photos so you never have to worry ✔️ Walks, exercise, and enrichment activities (for dogs) ✔️ Playtime, enrichment, and respect for routine (for cats) ✔️ A clean and safe environment I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet & greet so I can learn more about how to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. 😊🐾 I currently work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care to pets who need companionship throughout the day. 🐶 For Dogs: Whether it’s keeping an anxious puppy company, ensuring a senior dog sticks to their routine, or providing regular walks and playtime, I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I’m also available for longer stays if your dog requires more attention or consistency. 🐱 For Cats: Cats thrive on routine, and I can provide care that aligns with their schedule, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just quiet companionship. If your cat is shy, I’ll take the time to build trust at their pace, and if they’re active, I’ll make sure they get the engagement and enrichment they need. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾 I prioritize maintaining a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for every pet I care for, whether in their home or out on a walk. My goal is to reduce stress, provide enrichment, and keep pets happy while their owners are away. 🐶 For Dogs: I follow each dog's routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior, and I have experience with leash manners, basic obedience, and confidence-building for anxious or reactive dogs. If your pup enjoys extra activity, I can also take them on hikes (with owner approval) for a fun and enriching experience. Safety is always my top priority—whether that means using a secure harness, monitoring off-leash time in approved areas, or making sure your pup feels comfortable before engaging in play. 🐱 For Cats: I understand that cats have unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe and at ease. Whether they’re social and playful or more reserved, I adjust my approach to match their comfort level. I have experience caring for senior cats, administering medication, and engaging younger, high-energy cats with interactive play. I also ensure litter boxes stay clean, feeding routines are followed, and they get plenty of attention (or space) based on their individual needs. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾

“Tianying was thoughtful and communicative and shared lots of updates with us when she came to check in on our cats, even though coco was hiding!”

About: My job is flexible as I work two different time zones. My service will be 30-60mins per walk. I'll be walking your dog and mine separately and make sure he/she are 100% on-leash but well exercised so you'll come home with a calm baby without having to stress about draining their energy after a long day of work. I've taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. And now I have a German Shepherd mix I adopted from the shelter 2years ago. A meet and greet before we start would be great, we want your dog and I both comfortable with each other and make sure our energy matches ! I am working remotely and am available mostly in the afternoons during weekdays. Depends on the schedule of the day, last minute requests are acceptable too. I pay attention to details, and will keep you dogs 100% on leash and make sure my eyes are on them at all times. I’m open to discuss any special rules or training methods you have for your fur baby.

“Ziying was a wonderful cat sitter for our drop-in visits. She is very kind, caring, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated before visit and shared lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. My cats were well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease. I would definitely book Ziying again in the future and highly recommend her.”

About: I've walked and fed both my sister's and friend's dogs for the last few years. Been going to the dog park interact w/different breeds of dogs to get used to each of there own quirks and personalities. I work full-time so I can take care of your dogs on the weekends. Some Holidays i should be free, just have to give me heads up. I am available on weekends after 11am I offer care and company for your dogs. I can be an "uncle" for them, when their parents are not home. Essentials such as food water, toys bathroom etc. always kept in mind!

About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life: dogs, cats, fish, rodents, parakeet. My sister is a marine mammal trainer, and I appreciate the advice she’s shared about shaping behavior and interpreting body language. I have yet to meet a dog I don’t like (and vice versa!) I’m a physician assistant student finishing up my degree in May. I currently have a lot of flexibility with scattered zoom classes and studying. Looking for pet sitting or walks to break up the studying ◡̈ Pets need love, attention, and patience. I walk my mom’s dog daily and tend to all her grooming (and of course give her lots of pets).

About: I’ve been caring for pets for several years and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and look after their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I also have experience caring for cats. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means lots of playtime, gentle care for seniors, or sticking to a consistent routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Whether your pet needs regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I can easily adjust to fit your needs and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

“Paige was extremely communicative, reliable and amazing! She sent update pictures for every visit and assured me that my pet bunny Luna was happy, healthy and well cared for. I was worried since most people don't have much experience with bunnies, but Paige asked thorough questions to make sure she cared for Luna in the best way possible. Would extremely recommend her!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, including Corgis, Pomeranians, Golden Retrievers, Chihuahuas, and Poodles. I grew up with Pomeranians in my family home, which helped me understand dogs’ needs, behaviors, and personalities from an early age. I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping your pup company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always pay close attention to each dog’s routine, energy level, and any special needs to provide personalized care. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication while you’re away, so you always know your pup is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, though I work best with a bit of advance notice — ideally at least a day or two ahead. This helps me give your pet the full attention they deserve rather than rushing between commitments. I'm happy to accommodate mornings, afternoons, or weekends, and I'll always do my best to find a time that works for both of us. Pet care isn't just a side task for me — I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize every visit. The safety of your pet is always my top priority. Before any visit, I take time to understand your pet's specific needs, any allergies, behavioral quirks, or medical conditions. I'm a pet owner myself , so I create a calm, pet-friendly atmosphere. I treat every animal with patience and respect, making sure they feel comfortable and loved in my care.

“I could not have been happier with Tatyana's care of my cats during my 8-day vacation. I am a very nervous traveler, largely due to worries about the pets, and Tatyana really helped me have a great trip. She spent quality time playing with the boys on each visit and provided full reports, including photos and videos. It was a great experience and I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“Rebooked with Andrew because I can't imagine trusting my precious baby cat and dog with anyone else! You'd think Andrew was Santa-Claws (ha, get it) from the way my dog IMMEDIATELY starts whining in excitement when he realizes "Uncle Andrew" is going to come spend time with him. My cat, who has NEVER voluntarily crawled onto my lap to sit and chill, is the total opposite with Andrew. He's both the cat AND the dog whisperer, and it's awesome. Andrew's great as always - punctual, caring, communicative, all the things that make for an excellent, trustworthy, above and beyond pet care giver.”

About: I have had pets all my life since I was 2 years old. I have loved all of them with all my heart and soul and treated them as valued family members. I believe that pets make the house a home. Pet care is more than just a chore. It's an honor to do so and make our furry friends feel loved. While I look for my next corporate role, I have plenty of time to take care of your pet's needs. I like to build a strong rapport with the dogs and cats I care for. I would be happy to walk them on any route, feed them, and handle any other pet-related tasks. If we have a set of requests that your little one needs, I'd be happy to help take care of these as well.

About: I have years of hands-on experience working in the Critical Care Unit (CCU) at one of the Bay Area's top specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals. Every day, I manage medically complex patients, administer advanced treatments, and monitor critical conditions in a high-acuity environment. This is my professional foundation — not just a hobby. What sets me apart: I bring veterinary-level skill into a calm, home environment. I specialize in senior and hospice pets, pets with medical needs, and anxious pets who don't thrive in traditional boarding. I can confidently administer oral medications, injectable medications, subcutaneous fluids, and inhaled medications — all following your veterinarian's prescribed care plan using medications you provide. My home is intentionally quiet and controlled — no overcrowding, no chaos. I take very limited pets at a time so every animal gets individualized, attentive care. I notice the subtle things: changes in breathing, appetite shifts, stress signals, and comfort levels. If your pet needs more than just someone to fill a bowl and open a door — I'm your person. Pet care isn't a side gig for me — it's an extension of what I already do professionally. My life revolves around animal care — both professionally and at home. I intentionally structure my schedule so that every pet in my care gets consistent routines, timely medications, regular potty breaks, and attentive monitoring throughout the day and night. I don't overbook. Your pet is never an afterthought — they're my priority. In my home: My home is intentionally set up to be calm, quiet, and controlled. I take very limited pets at a time — no overcrowding, no chaotic energy. Your pet gets consistent daily routines (feeding, potty breaks, rest, and activity), attentive monitoring throughout the day and night, and safe, supervised backyard access. I maintain a predictable environment so your pet can settle in and feel secure — not overwhelmed. In your home: When I care for pets in the client's home, I follow your pet's existing routines as closely as possible. I keep everything familiar — same feeding schedule, same potty routine, same sleeping spots. I provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. For medical visits, I arrive on time, administer medications or treatments per your veterinarian's instructions, and make sure your pet is comfortable before I leave. For all pets in my care: I monitor for subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and comfort. I administer medications (oral, injectable, inhaled) and subcutaneous fluids as prescribed by your vet. I never rush. I never overbook. Every pet gets my full attention and genuine care.

“Tierra was wonderful! My cat who usually is wary of strangers was happy to see her during the drop in visits. Very friendly and good communication.”
