About: My boyfriend (& roommate) and I both 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. My boyfriend Will is also obsessed with both dogs and cats and gives them even more attention when he is home before and after work. While we are in the upper unit of a duplex, we 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!

About: Easy going and adaptable dog walker with experience! Animal lover and grad student wanting to work on the side! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently a full time graduate student which consists of a pretty busy schedule during the week but leaves the weekends very open. Also, on breaks, usually consisting of 4-6 weeks at a time, my schedule is wide open to accommodate a variety of dog walking needs. I have a fenced backyard with a moderate amount of space to run around. When dog sitting or walking, I always try to be aware and alert during social situations and pay attention to the needs of your dog while making sure they can get their energy out!

About: I love dogs, I grew up with two and have also helped sit for my sister and best friend’s dogs for the past 3 years. I am a reliable person to help care for your pet. I am currently a full-time student at CSU Monterey. I live in San Jose and commute for classes. I will be able to give your dog walks and lots of attention before/after leaving for class and I am available all day on the weekends. I can walk your pet in your neighborhood if that is comfortable for you. Or I can bring toys for them and keep them in your home. Either way my goal is to make sure that you’re pet is given attention and an outlet for exercise.

“Julia quickly became an essential help for me to get my dog Rocky stimulation and exercise that allowed me to focus on the primary reason for my trip! She is knowledgeable of all of the dog fun-spots and very aware of safety of the pets she cares for. Julie communicated often and it felt like I was along for the fun. She sent pictures that quickly became favorites on Facebook and most of all, she developed a bond with Rocky where he loved every visit and I could tell she enjoyed Rocky as well! I highly recommend Julia for all your pet needs in the Carmel area!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My sister has a dog, and I’ve often helped with walks, feeding, playtime, and general care. I’ve also looked after friends’ cats while they were away during school breaks, making sure they were fed, comfortable, and received plenty of attention. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Because I spend most of my time at home, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll do my best to follow their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I live in a clean, quiet, pet-friendly home with my boyfriend, who is also a big animal lover. We do not have any children or pets of our own, which allows us to provide a calm environment and focus our attention on your pet’s needs. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care.

“Katt is an incredible dog walker! From the moment she arrived, my dogs were instantly comfortable with her. She was warm, attentive, smart, and asked all the right questions. She came prepared with a fantastic treat bag and a solid understanding and positive reinforcement. She handled my two energetic dogs with ease and confidence, and I immediately felt at ease knowing they were great hands. I couldn’t have been happier to find her - highly recommend just after one walk!”

About: I've had dogs nearly my entire life, enjoying them from puppyhood to senior age. As my kids grew up, I have also taken care of hamsters, bunnies, lizards, turtles, and parakeets. But most of all, I love dogs. My dog Rainie is an English lab, half chocolate/half yellow who loves playing with other dogs, especially other labs. I'm very familiar with the needs and limitations of senior dogs and can adapt our routines accordingly. I only host one dog at a time to ensure everyone gets enough peace and pettings. We can host caged pets at the same time (small reptiles and parakeets). I'm retired and can host your pet anytime with advance notice. My calendar will accurately indicate my availability. My regular routine includes walking and gardening with our guest dogs. I have a large fenced yard and a single level home 8 steps above ground. Your dog will spend most of their time wherever I happen to be and will be given regular potty breaks. Your dog will enjoy romping in the yard for extended periods under supervision, but will not be left unattended in the yard. Please provide detailed feeding and medication instructions and I will follow them to the letter. Tell me about your dog's special likes, dislikes, fears, and behavioral quirks so we can make dog feel at home. Your dog must be able to manage the steps to get in and out of the house, be willing to use the doggie ramp, or be small enough for me to carry up and down. Must be housebroken. Please provide crate if crate trained and more comfortable in the crate. Or, provide favorite bed or blanket. Otherwise, we have a collection of blankets. Please bring your dog's favorite toy. Some large dogs accepted, depending on size, breed, and degree of training. A meet and greet is a must for most dogs. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, and Dobermans will not be accepted under any circumstances. I realize that many individual dogs are very sweet, but as a rule, these breeds unnerve me, and the dog will sense that.

About: I got my first dog when I was 7 and was a part of the training process from the beginning. I have taken care of pets of varying ages but I always make sure to give each one the attention and love that they deserve, despite their age. My favorite part about taking care of pets is going outside and enjoying nature together. During summer I have a lot of free time to take care of pets pretty much anytime. However, during the school year, I mostly only have availability on the weekends due to school and sports. I care for pets by always giving them the proper food that their owners approve of while also staying with them long enough for them to go to the bathroom if needed. And, I spend time either playing with them or going for a walk, depending on the service and the clients' request.

About: I have experienced with hands on care for dogs and cats of all age, proving daily walks, administering basic medications, and proving lots of love. Making sure the pets feel comfortable and safe is always a top priority. I’m a current full time students, so I have availability throughout the week for drop ins in the morning or evening. I am available all week for pet sitting. I can provided safety, trust and security in the environment by attending introduction meetings with pet parents either in person or virtually to establish needs of pet care. During stay, I will send update pictures and text.

About: Prior to now, I have owned two dog boutique hotels that I have personally built from the ground up. I am familiar with all kinds of doggies and their personalities. All doggies are special to me and will receive nothing but the best of care and affection. I am currently taking care of pups in your own home unless we discuss and or have made other arrangements. I am also a commissioned artist so I would not be leaving to another job, your pup(s) would be my only concern. I might go run a couple errands, grocery store, etc... but I would enjoy just being home with your pups and painting, exercising them, playing with them or just doing whatever they are familiar in doing with you. As to your own personal instructions only. I understand, every dog has their own individual personality and each puppy has special needs. I will accompany each puppy as you wish.

“Claudia has been so amazing with my two older dogs Leila and Ziggy. She comes to my house twice a week to walk them while I am at a long day of work. They absolutely love her and I appreciate all the pictures and videos she sends me. I am so happy to have found her and will continue using Claudia for all of my dog walking/sitting needs.”

About: We always had pets growing up, when I moved out I missed having those loving beings around me, so I started petsitting. My clients and friends know me as a reliable, loving and caring person and trust me with their loved ones. I am self employed so I can create my own schedule. I am flexible and cater to the needs of my customer. I am sure we can work someting out. I will strictly obey the wishes of my client to make sure their pets are safe and well taken care of. However the clients handle the safety of their pets.

About: I would love an opportunity to provide care for your pet. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets, training, etc. so I am more than qualified to take care of your pet! I am planning on providing pet care as my job, so I am pretty available…I am interested in daily walks as well as overnight care.. I provide loving and nurturing care in the comfort of the pets home. I was a nanny so I am always mindful of keeping the home safe and tidy!

About: I have always had dogs in my house growing up. I first had a lab and a dalmatian and after that we got a Rhodesian ridgeback, so I can definitely handle big dogs. Over the years I have dog sat for a few friends and now am starting to branch out. I love dogs, but most places in SLO don't allow pets, so taking care of somebody else's dog is the next best thing! I have been volunteering at Woods Humane Society for a while now, so I have experience with a lot of different types of dogs with different social skills. I love to run and go on hikes so high energy dogs are no problem for me to take care of, but also don't mind low energy dogs that just need to be walked here and there.

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 (400K 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 sitter. 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 do have lot 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! 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 sitter & that is the only way how I can see possible to do pet sitting 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 l 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.
