About: As an enthusiastic pet lover with a full-time job at a pet store and the proud owner of two adorable cats, I have immersed myself in the world of pet care for years. Growing up with dogs has instilled a deep understanding of canine behavior, while my feline companions have given me unique insights into the needs and quirks of our feline friends. This combined experience allows me to cater to both dogs and cats with the utmost love, attention, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around your pet’s comfort—ensuring regular potty breaks every 4–8 hours, meals on time, play sessions, and lots of affection. Whether it’s a short visit or a longer stay, I make sure your pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for. Compassion First: I treat every pet like family, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness. Experience Counts: My experience at a pet store and as a multi-pet owner has taught me how to handle a wide range of behaviors, dietary needs, and situations—whether it’s picky eating, anxiety, or energetic zoomies. Tailored Care: I adapt to each pet’s routine, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, administer medications, or work with special needs pets.

“Majesty was extremely responsive and a great resource for an admittedly last minute request for a pop in to let our dogs out while we were at a Christmas party. I felt that our house instructions were read and acknowledged thoroughly, and majesty was communicative and reliable about showing up on time. We’ll definitely hire majesty again.”


About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I am an empty nester and would love to care for your four legged family members while you are away. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart as I have had several dogs since I was born that were all well loved. I offer loving, reliable care with plenty of play, cuddles, and attention to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a walk, a weekend stay, or just some company while you're away, I treat every animal like my own. With experience, patience, and a calming presence, your pets will be in safe, happy hands if you decide to choose me to be your sitter. I currently have a lot of availability as I am not in school, but without a job. Thursdays I dont have any method of transportation other than walking or biking so I will only accept walking distance jobs on those days. I'm available any time between 10am and 7pm for non-overnight jobs. When caring for someones fur baby, I make sure to follow the owner's instructions carefully, keeping the pet’s routine consistent. I provide fresh food and water, ensure plenty of playtime, walks, or cuddles depending on their needs, and keep their environment clean and safe. I also send regular updates and photos to reassure the owner. Most importantly, I treat their pet as if they were my own, giving them love, patience, and attention throughout my stay.

“Carly was an excellent communicator. She took lots of photos of the pets and wrote up a detailed account of her visit. She asked good questions at our meet and greet which gave me confidence in that she knows what she is doing.”


“Kay is wonderful! Super communicative, kind, and trustworthy. Best compliment for a pet sitter is when the pet is barely excited to see their owner when they return because they were so well loved, and my cat had obviously been given great care and attention from Kay and was totally normal and regulated when we got home. Thanks so much for everything, Kay!!! Toaster and we appreciate you!!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 14, starting with horses and gradually expanding to dogs and cats. In recent years, I’ve mainly focused on house sitting and pet care. I’m comfortable handling a range of behavioral challenges, including pets who tend to run off or show signs of aggression. I also have experience with dogs that require strict health routines, such as medications, special diets, and regular care schedules. I aim to create a calm, safe environment for every pet I care for—and treat each one with the same attention and love I’d give my own. I’m based in Oroville and work full time (never earlier than 8am and no later than 6:30pm), but am available for pet sitting any day of the week! I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays for walking, feeding, and giving your pets the attention they deserve. Whether you need a quick check-in or some extra company! I am deeply attentive to the unique needs of every pet in my care, always striving to meet and exceed the expectations of their owners. Each animal is treated with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own pets. My passion for animals runs deep—so much so that I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician to further my ability to provide the highest standard of care. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior cat, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after.

“Autumn provided exceptional care for all of my animals, including my lgd puppy, goats, ducks, geese. Throughout the two weeks she looked after my homestead, she went above and beyond to ensure each animal was well-cared for and comfortable. She was attentive to details, and well-managed the goats to move them from night pen to pasture daily. Autumn also kept me updated with frequent messages and photos. She handled unexpected situations with professionalism and care, such as when the goats managed to escape or when she noticed unusual activity on the property. Her dedication to the animals' well-being was exceptional, and I could tell that they trusted and enjoyed her company. She was dedicated to keep the schedule, even after catching covid at the end of care duration. Thank you Autumn! I'll definitely be reaching out to Autumn again for any future pet-sitting needs. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about animal care. Highly recommended!”


“Barbara took wonderful care of our cat. She was communicative, timely, and responsible. We have hesitated for years to go on vacation because we never felt confident about having anyone come to our home, but now that we’ve found Barbara, we are already booking our next vacation. Barbara is warm and friendly and clearly loves animals. She stayed in touch with us and provided updates and photos. We’re overjoyed to have found a trustworthy person to care for our cat. Highly recommended!”

About: I come from a family of animal lovers and have always been surrounded by either a new puppy, an elder dog, or a dog in their prime just looking to have fun.

About: One way to live a happy life is to surround yourself with things you love, for me that includes animals. I think they sense that about me and it puts them at ease. I have many years of experience with large and small animals including horses, donkeys. goats, dogs and cats. From babies to old-timers I look forward to meeting new animals and including them in my friend group :) I live on a farm so animals are a big part of my day, if I need to go take care of an animal somewhere, I work it into my schedule. Our cats are indoor/outdoor and our dogs are allowed in the house but not on the furniture. When going to a pet's home I use caution when entering or leaving the home and will follow pet-owners protocol for feeding. I will be a friend for the animal while I am there.

About: Ever since I learned to talk, I asked my parents for a dog. Over the years that turned into one, two, and now three dogs. I have also had cats over the years as well as chickens, goats, a horse, and donkey. No matter what kind of animal, I have always had a deep connection and love for the furry four-legged beings in my life. Because of this, neighbors, friends, and acquaintances have depended on me to pet sit, train, walk, feed, and groom their pets. I can easily play with your pet wherever you and your pet feel most comfortable whether that is in the home, yard, or out on walks. I consider myself a responsible and trustworthy person and will always prioritize the needs of you and your pet. I also love sending picture updates of the pets when I’m with them because a) they are so cute and b) you can feel confident they are in good hands.

Jasmine G.
“Choosing Jasmine as our pet sitter was one of the best decisions we've made for our crazy husky boy and fish tank! From the moment we met Jasmine, it was clear that she has a genuine love and passion for animals. Her background in the pet industry and experience with dogs and cats (as well as exotic pets!) gave us complete confidence in their ability to care for our pets. During our time away, Jasmine went above and beyond to make sure our pets felt comfortable and loved. They followed our pets' daily routines meticulously, ensuring timely potty breaks and playtime sessions. The regular updates and adorable pictures they sent us were heartwarming and reassuring. Beyond being a reliable and responsible pet sitter, she showed a deep understanding of our pets' individual needs and personalities. Our shy dog warmed up to them surprisingly fast, which is a testament to the caring and patient nature of Jasmine. Leaving our pets in someone else's care used to be a source of anxiety, but with Jasmine, we feel completely at ease. Their passion for animals, coupled with their professionalism and open communication, make them an outstanding pet sitter that we wholeheartedly trust. We cannot recommend her enough to anyone seeking a loving and reliable caregiver for their beloved pets. They truly provide a home away from home for our furry friends!”
