“Kenzee was very responsive and great with my cat. She kept me updated and sent cute pics every day. I would happily hire her again to cat sit.”
“Marianne kept my judgmental and grumpy kitties very happy! I’m not even sure they noticed I was gone. She made sure food and water and the litter box was clean. And, she even gave my plants some TLC.”
About: I love all dogs and especially the wild working breeds and their silly personalities! From Malinois to Plott Hounds, I am experienced in caring for the special needs of high drive dogs. I have my own working line shepherd who has been working through trauma induced reactivity issues, and I am *very* sensitive to behavior modification training. (No other animals will join in any appointments with clients.) I also adore puppies and their velociraptor ways, and do not charge additional base fees to work with them. I can't wait to meet you and you furry best friends! I am a full time remote worker and have a highly flexible schedule. The company operates during normal business hours, and my weekends are generally open. My offerings are for care within a client's home, and to take dogs on walks near their home. Please tell me about what your canine pal loves to do. Play ball? Sniff out squirrels? Take a leisurely stroll? Become one with the couch? :)
About: Animals have always been my happy place. From as far back as I can remember, I’ve had the privilege of caring for both cats and dogs, developing a deep bond and understanding of their unique personalities. Having spent years with furry friends, I've learned that every pet has its own quirks and needs, but all of them share one thing in common: a desire for love, attention, and connection. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine passion and hands-on experience. I'm not just someone who watches pets — I actively engage with them, whether it’s a playful game of fetch, a peaceful cuddle session, or a long walk to explore the world around us. I believe in creating an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t enjoy quality time with their human, and I take pride in giving them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s providing mental stimulation with toys, helping pets burn off energy with exercise, or simply offering companionship, my goal is always to ensure the well-being and happiness of each pet in my care. Their needs come first, and I make sure to listen to both the animals and their owners to create a routine that works for everyone. I’m more than just a pet sitter — I’m a true pet lover. With years of experience and an intuitive understanding of animal behavior, you can trust me to provide your pet with the best care possible. After all, every pet deserves to feel like they’re part of the family. Currently, my daily schedule revolves around taking care of my mom and my own animals, so having a flexible job is crucial. Luckily, pet sitting is the perfect fit for this chapter in my life, allowing me to combine my love for animals with my responsibilities at home I live in a peaceful, pet-friendly community, where I have access to quiet walks and a safe outdoor space. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a quick potty break, I ensure your pet gets the fresh air and exercise they need at their own pace. Inside the house, I’ve designed the space to be a cozy retreat for pets. I have a large, comfortable dog carrier for pets who need a quiet space to rest, as well as plenty of soft bedding and safe spots for them to relax and feel secure. I believe in building trust with each animal, which is why I ensure they have access to everything they might need, at any time — from fresh water in every room of my home to ample opportunities for play and attention.
“Natalie was great, she came over prior to us leaving to meet our cats and get to know their routine. She kept in contact throughout our trip and sent pictures. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Thank you for watching Wally!”
“Excellent care for our babies and detailed updates & photos 💕”
“Natalie provided excellent care of my cat while I was gone! Her drop in visits were always on time and she went above and beyond routine feeding and taking care of the litter box. My cat loves attention and Natalie gave it to her by brushing her, playing with her with toys she brought and cuddling with her. It is clear Natalie loves animals and her job. I highly recommend her!”
About: I'm well-versed in litterboxes, cleaning up messes and throw up, interacting with hyper active animals until they wear themselves out, and gaining the trust of skittish animals. I work with kids, I find pets are much easier. I'm a full time student at UCSC and a runner which is perfect because I can study while petting a cat or take your hyperactive dog for a fun run. I'm also a lifeguard during the summers so I'm well versed with the beach and the sea and for the dogs who like to swim or paddleboard, I can show them an amazing day. I make sure the home is as clean if not cleaner than when I got there. I make sure to gain a pets trust before anything else, prioritizing eye contact and belly rubs. I'm very adaptable and can work with older and young, hyper animals.
“Shannon is great. Worked with us to get my dog comfortable with her, and my dog loved seeing her. We will miss her!”
About: 10 yrs vet hospital experience (8 yrs as a vet assistant & 2 client liaison) Why do I love pet sitting? Because they mean the world to you. I not only care about my furry friends but also their owners. My professional relationship is one you can count on. I have extensive experience with cats & dogs (among other animals). I joined the veterinary field as a veterinary assistant in 2008 at a small clinic in my hometown. I got 2 years of hands-on experience before I took the opportunity to work at the *San Francisco SPCA. I served there 2010 to 2018 as a veterinary assistant. I was promoted to client liaison & grew into other opportunities to work more with the public. In my non-work life, I have cared for: Mice, Rats, Hamsters, Chickens, Birds, Guinea Pigs, Cats, Dogs, & Horses. I thrive on interaction with both people & animals. I look forward to meeting you & your furry friend. My experience administering medication I am fully trained in subcutaneous injections & fluid administration. I am capable of giving oral medication to difficult patients. My career has led me out of the veterinary clinics and into human clinics. I love all earthlings and my skills have never faltered. I look forward to caring for your littles, your bigs, or in-betweens! I usually have plenty of time for my furry friends who need attention. I am flexible around my work schedule as my clients need me. The pet's needs come first. Keeping them safe, entertained, clean, and happy. My petcare mantra: A tired dog is a happy dog. Show a cat your devotion and they'll curl up in your lap.
“Andrew is a true gem! He’s smart, ambitious, and kind. Most of all, he was great with our two small dogs who needed some attention and a walk while we were away for most of the day for two days in a row. I trusted him to come in to our home and attend to our dogs’ needs. Andrew sent text messages when he arrived, and when he left and sent photos. I recommend him highly.”
“Nikki checked on my two cats while I was out of town and did a great job! She was very responsive, gave me updates, and texted me pictures. I would definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have a lifelong love for animals and am really missing having pets around! I’ve grown up with all sorts of dog breeds ranging from Pit Bulls to Havanese and feel comfortable around them all. I’ve also opened my home to foster dogs, embracing the joys and challenges that come with caring for both older dogs and newborn puppies. My commitment to the well-being of these animals extends beyond routine care to creating a warm and loving environment that caters to their individual needs. I have a fully remote job so I am at my house most of the day with lots of spare time for walks and cuddles. I have a fully fenced yard and live in a great very walkable neighborhood. I have space in my house for a crate and any other supplies needed to make your pet feel comfortable. I live with my boyfriend who is also a huge animal lover so rest assured your pet will get plenty of love and attention! Please note we do have stairs to get up to our unit with a large deck that gets lots of sun!
“Ryan was quick to respond, easy to work with, and sent plenty photos throughout the week. Thank you!”

About: I can't remember a time when there wasn't an animal in my household whether it was a bird, dog, or cat my family has always had some kind of pet. Currently, I have 1 pitbull named Athena back at home. As you can guess I have done my fair share of dog walking.

About: I grow up with animals since I born. As a trainer, my close circle always trusts me to take care their pets. I am an influencer (300K followers, you can check how legit and trustworthy I am, cuz I am partnering with worldwide companies & showing my peaceful daily life), so I am creating my own schedule. Animals are my true passion & they all are my babies to me! I love them all so I choose to be a professional pet carer. I have extensive experience with animals. For their separation anxiety I prefer to watch them in their own environment. Since I was a teenager, I was helping street dogs & cats to found homes. I took classes, and I learned how to take care animals. I learned about proper diet, housing, and medical care for variety of animals. I have lots of experience with other animals as well as dogs & cats. I am super familiar with bunnies, turtles, chickens, cows, goats, sheeps, ducks, birds especially since I am a kid, I spent my holidays at my father’s farms. Your pets will stay happily entertained to have the best Pawsome VIP Vacation! We will have so much fun together with your dearies especially at the beach! I want to make sure you will be so happy and at peace leaving your pup with me; with their new best friend! I welcome meet & greets at parks, but they are not required. I can do long walks, plays, and every other needings for our dearest animals! I guarantee it will be a Dog Gone GOOD Time! I am home and at parks all of the time with All My Dearie Guest Paws and I love it! This is my full time job, and my day centers around their care, safety, health, entertainment, and much happiness in the most hygienic PawsInn! I am a full time pet carer & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting & training job proper. I can fully supervise “kids” and make sure they all good and happy ;) Kindly give a bath to your most lovely puppies before giving them to me pretty please. Otherwise I need to give bath & grooming for my dearie guest paws. I will charge it. I have a fenced front yard, backyard at PawsInn, so I am supervising dearly puppies all the time, even when they are having fun at my garden. We shall do long walks, plays at the safest neighborhood parks, and fenced football fields constantly. My favorite park is next to my home, and it is our favorite because I can safely let few puppies run there leash free since this park all fenced up. My favorite is taking dogs for a hike, bike to open space county parks, beaches, trail with nice cool creeks, and lots of shade where dogs can hang by creek especially at hot weather, and cool off by keeping paws and belly in a water. We love it! If you are my very new client with new puppies for me, I'd like to get to know them in a neutral environment, like a beach or park, before taking them to my house. This will allow me to observe their behavior, energy levels, and personalities. I'd like to take them for a long walk and get acquainted with them before proceeding. This helps me ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for both the puppies, and of course me as a trainer with my previous experiences with other new clients I always do this technique. I can definitely take care of your pets medical supports as needed. In case you forgot their bowls, toys, items, blankets or beds, I provide! Everything is EZ at the PawsInn. Attention please! If your dog is needing special care / untrained: can’t hold pee & poop / constantly barking / can not walk properly - pulling so hard / damaging to the house / biting / not friendly with other puppies : it costs $350 per day per puppy.

“Outstanding carer and trainer! She is a true animal lover, true animal whisperer, a godsend for anxious pet parents like me! :))) I'm completely blown away about her loveful training abilities! Can't wait to book her again!!! If you're looking for the best pet sitter who will treat your pets like royalty and family look no further! She is the ultimate pet-sitting rockstar! Truly remarkable! :) She is becoming a pact with our babies! She trained one of our little puppy Lucy in just 1 week by watching her nonstop in our home! Lilly was feeling so lonely and she was getting in depression everytime we leave the house. So we rescued Lucy for Lilly, and we find Nermin, and now they happily listen her right away! We want to rescue one more puppy now after we find Nermin! I am so thrilled by the exceptional care and love Nermin showed my fur babies! Leaving my spoiled puppies Lilly and Lucy, and our home behind was always so hard, but knowing that they are in caring of a truly loving sweetheart of Nermin’s makes all the difference!! After we find her we are happily leaving and having amazing time while we are away and watching our babies funny videos from her ha! Ha! Ha! She also cracks us with the videos and comments she sents! (((((((: Oh my goodness, I can't even begin to sing the praises of Nermin! She is absolutely, hands-down, the most amazing pet sitter ever! She puts our minds at ease with her constant updates and adorable photos. And when we came back, my pets were beaming with happiness and relaxation - it was like they'd had their own remarkable vacation! She goes above and beyond, providing top-notch care and showering my fur babies with love and attention. Definitely book her immediately! We are so grateful to find her! I can’t recommend enough!!!!! A trillion thanks!!!!!!!!! (: My babies are missing you!”
