“Elise did a fantastic job watching our elderly, very particular dog. He normally is very scared of strangers, and will sometimes not go outside for walks with sitters. Elise did a great job of gaining his trust and getting him out! She was very accommodating, and on time.”
About: With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and volunteering at the YCAS shelter in Woodland, I offer a level of knowledge and calm that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, and dog-reactive pets. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that’s energetic play, gentle walks, or giving medication. Your pet will be treated like my own. Pet care is my top priority right now, and my schedule is wide open! I’m currently extremely flexible for drop in visits or walks throughout the day. I love making sure pets get consistent care and attention, no matter how busy your routine may be. I treat your home and your pets with total respect and care. During walks and drop-in visits, I always keep your pet’s safety and happiness first by using positive reinforcement, keeping a close eye on surroundings, and following your care instructions exactly. I’ll send updates, photos, and videos so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing. My approach is gentle, responsible, and tailored to each animal’s comfort level.
About: I’ve taken care of dog for with more than 5 years. I personally have two dogs in the house which are 10 lbs and 30 lbs. I’ve successfully trained 3 puppies in the past 5 years and also fostered before for a rescue. I’ve also been providing boarding service for my friends with at least 6 dogs, pictures are included in my profile. All the dogs will be separated when I’m out, and basic training can be provided if owner requests. I’ve successfully taking care of 5 dogs at one time including two puppies. I’m a recent graduate at UC Davis, and currently WFH all day. I will walk dogs twice a day and give them bathroom break at least 4-5 times every day. I have a fenced yard in the house. All the dogs will be separated when I’m not at home. For safety reasons, dogs will stay in the crate when humans are not around but they can be on furniture once humans are presented.

About: I have taken care of animals all of my life! I am a proud owner of two guinea pigs and have 3 dogs back at home. I also have experience with cats. I am an Animal Science major at UC Davis, so I am very passionate about all kinds of animals! I am a student at UC Davis taking one Summer class this summer so my schedule is flexible. I am available every single weekday as well as weekends. You can count on me to take the best care of your fur babies and treat them like they were my own. I am very communicative, good with directions, and responsible. If needed, my house has a fenced backyard that is great for playtime needs!
“Katie is such a wonderful and caring dog sitter! She was so easy to communicate with, reliable, and kind to my fur baby. I’m so thankful for her and certainly recommend her for hire! We can’t wait to see her again.”
About: I grew up with a bird and dog, and a cat was recently added to the family (I do not live with any pets currently). I backpack trained the cat, made toys and fortresses for the cat, took the dog on walks and hikes, whistled to the bird, and gave all the animals as many pets as I can! I've additionally done lots of pet sitting over the years for friends and family: cats, small dogs, medium dogs, rats, mice, aquariums, and insects. I don't mind reptiles either! I have a flexible schedule, spare for Thursdays when I have class (but still available for evenings after 6pm). I am willing to wake up early or stay up late for the job. I make sure to take things slow when needed in order to prevent stress for the animals. I keep a consistent schedule for feeding and cleaning. And I try to engage with the animals as much as possible when they are up for it. There is a tendency to be more easy going but I amp up the energy for playtime and walks. I like to walk in general, so I can go far for those higher energy dogs!
“Wow! Best dog walker! I really appreciate the walks that Alex gave my dog, Cali. Cali looked forward to Alex walking her 2 times a day while we were gone. I highly recommend Alex. Thanks so much! ?”
About: I have been around dogs since I was born! I currently have two dogs (1 medium & 1 large) and I love taking care of them.

I do not currently have any other jobs lined up so I am very available for pet-sitting/walking. In a clients home, I would be able to spend a ton of time with your pet! Playing, feeding, and giving them some love. Depending on what a client needs, I can provide that for them.
