About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I came into this world! Always watching over, loving, and caring for a variety of animals. At one point my family had 6 dogs to take care of and love! I have a very soft spot for elder animals and truly love caring for them! I love to watch and play with cats, and have experience cat sitting (usually 2 young male cats). I am currently a full time student, with a lot of free time throughout the week! I’d love to fill that time walking, playing, or spending time with your pet! I have a big fenced in backyard, front, and side yard that is perfect for playing! I have 2 roommates, both very loving and caring for animals similar to me! The space I live in is not noisy, and the overall space is very quiet. I love to play with animals and keep them active if that is desired by pet owners! I am very close to Bidwell Park which is perfect for long walks and getting energy out!
“It was my second time having Alyssa care for my kitties and everything went smoothly once again. The cats, even my tuxedo girl (who is more cautious), have really warmed up to her. I highly recommend having Alyssa care for your furry kiddos, she’s great with communication and provides excellent care!”
About: I’ve grown up with many cats and different types of dog's. I had a dog that was 19 years old and have been self training my current dog since I got him. Im currently a student at Chico State so I have plenty of time after classes and school. I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets after 2pm on most weekdays. I make sure there’s no way to escape or places that can hurt your pet if it gets in those places. I would make sure to be attentive and make sure I know what they’re up to.
About: I grew up in a home that had dozens of animals, all well cared for and loved beyond belief. I have years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, and I have always loved to care for them. Pets provide us with so much love, comfort, and protection, and they deserve the same, from anyone they meet. As a caretaker, I promise to treat all animals compassionately, lovingly, and with kindness. I am confident in my ability to provide specialized care to animals with disabilities or medical needs. I have experience administering medications to pets, as well as bathing, grooming, cleaning ears and teeth, and more. I currently work 8 AM, to 2PM. So anytime after 2:30 my schedule is reserved for animal care! My only exception is Tuesday afternoons, 2:30- 3:45 pm. Tuesday evenings are wide open! As a caretaker who does drop-ins, I will provide a list of tasks that I will take care of each visit. This will include for dogs, taking on a short walk, providing a meal, ensuring water bowls are full, cleaning up waste in the yard, administer medications if necessary, and lots of love and play time! For cats, I can provide a walk if requested, meal time, refill any and all water bowls, clean cat box or accidents, and provide love and playtimes!
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 1 years old. I love spending my time with animals and reptiles. I have worked with animals ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors. I also work well with larger breeds like Pitbulls, Dobermans, Mastiffs, etc. I have experience with giving medicines and vitamins to pets as instructed. I also am comfortable with reptiles (I have owned some myself) and horse care. I currently have jobs I do for numerous clients so my schedule often changes. Pet sitting/check ins I can almost always fit in especially if you contact me ahead of time so I can alter my schedule. I only will care for pets at the client’s home. I offer check ins and overnight care. I will discuss with you any needs of your pet so I can give them the best possible experience. I will also check in with you to ensure your mind is at ease while you are away.
“He was attentive with my cats, playing with them and making sure they felt comfortable and happy. The pictures helped ease my mind while on vacation. Would recommend to anyone with pets!”
“From the moment I saw Dawn’s profile, I knew she was the one I wanted to book. She had the most reviews and just gave off the most comforting, trustworthy “mom energy” on the whole site — and I’m so glad I trusted my instincts. I’m a 30-year-old woman with two cats and no kids, and my cats truly mean the world to me. I had to travel to pick up my other cat and leave one of them alone in our brand-new apartment, which honestly felt terrifying at first. The only reason I was able to leave with peace of mind was because I found Dawn. She accepted the booking last minute (which I’m incredibly grateful for) and completely exceeded my expectations. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my pet with someone — and that includes family members I’ve trusted in the past. Dawn is reliable, kind, communicative, and clearly cares deeply about the animals she looks after. You can tell right away that she treats them like her own. I will absolutely be using her again in the future and feel so lucky to have found someone I trust this much with my cat. If you’re nervous about leaving your pet, Dawn is the person you want.”
“Jody was amazing attending to Simba’s care details including feeding and medication schedules. She also gave Simba the extra attention and love that put me at ease knowing Simba was getting the very best care. I will definitely contract her for future sitting for Simba!”
About: I have done classes and online training with my pups, and would be happy to work with any dogs that stay with us. I am not certified but passionate and have a great pup as an example which helps. Happy to admisiter medication and treats as needed, unless cleared with boarders/day care attendees beforehand I will be home at all times, crates are encouraged if you have them for nap and solo time, I will be accepting only neutered or spayed dogs in our home, no cats. For walks and drop-in, or care in your home, I am happy to care for cats and other animals with instructions! I'm currently in between full-time jobs and project managing so I am home and available throughout the day and night. Capable of administering medicine and special Care within reason. Please let me know if you have any extra needs or attention; my fiance can also provide support as needed. We have a big fenced-in yard and space to house crates and other items that your pups need. We have a middle-aged golden retriever who goes out several times a day in addition to several walks. Westley is great as an example for training, because he's low energy and friendly.
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I was super young. My love for animals has never wavered and with each day I love them more. I’ve taken care of puppies, to senior dogs and have enjoyed every walk I’ve been on with them I’m an early riser so morning walks are the best so we can start the day off right and with some exercise. Morning are the best Safety is my number one goal not only for myself but for the animal as well. I will learn how to create a safe, nurturing environment for the animals
About: I’ve had dogs most my life and had a cat for 16 years. I love animals and animals love me. We have a fenced in yard and are in close proximity to bidwell park. Located in the middle of town so easy pick-up and drop off. Lots of experience with animals big and small. Long term or short is welcome. I have a six year old hound dog who loves friends but also needs to get his wiggles out. I have a lot of flexibility and availability with times and days. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. I have a nice home and can take them on walks in the park or the neighborhood.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up, and sticking to their normal routines. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate reliable time to pet care. I plan my classes and study hours carefully, which makes it easy for me to provide structured walks, feeding times, and quality attention. I’m responsible and understand the importance of being dependable. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. My priority is making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times.
“She is awesome! Spends time with my kitties and does a wonderful job. One of my cats loves to see her but the other won’t come out for anyone and just stays under the bed. But she leaves him treats next to the bed for him. You can tell she really loves our cats.”
About: I have worked with all types of animals, breeds and personality types. I’ve done dog walking/pet sitting for about 6 years and absolutely adore it! I am comfortable with any special needs or unique temperaments. (Most of my experience has been off this app, hence my lack of reviews… I am more than happy to provide references individually!) I’m currently available anytime during the day or night, weekdays and weekends. I can do overnights as well. As long as we plan ahead all should be good! I have a lot of time to stay with the pets in their own home so they will have lots of stimulation and attention! I love taking them anywhere they love, walking around the neighborhood, trips to dog beach, or supervising play dates with their furry friends!
“Thanks to Andy, I was able to enjoy my trip home because I knew my kitties were in good hands. Andy understands the work that takes into caring for an animal and did not take any shortcuts. She spoke with me on the phone before hand, wanted to meet me and my kitties in person to make sure they would like her and updated me throughout the entire weekend. She is polite, professional and a true animal lover who you can trust with your furry best friend(s).”
About: I have been walking and taking care of dogs for about 4 years. I care for all sized pets, and love to provide treats as well! I’m currently going to school at Chico State, but I am available mid afternoon and on the weekends. My school schedule is not super packed throughout the week, so I have a lot of free time as well. At home I have a chocolate lab that always needs to be running around or catching a frisbee, so I know that some dogs need more exercise than others and I will watch out if I see them getting too tired. I will also make sure to give your pet the attention and love they need.
About: I have walked, fed, cleaned, cared for, and played with all pets I’m watching. I’ve worked with labs, big huskies, small corgis, golden retrievers, and cats- old and young. I also helped pets with disabilities/old age with walking or eating. I personally have 2 dogs at home that I feed twice a day, let out consistently, walk every other day, and at-home trained to sit and be rid fear of other animals. I only let pets outside under my watch and keep account of where they are the whole time. When I am home with clients’ dogs I play and give them attention. I also do not overstimulate pets and clean after them if accidents occur.

Sienna did great with my kitties! I absolutely loved receiving pictures while I was away and it looks like they took a liking to her very quickly😊 I was so thankful to be able to leave town for a bit and know that my cats were in good hands, thanks Sienna! 🐾
Second booking with Nile and it was still great. Nile constantly shows up on time, takes good care of my 2 cats, and keeps me in the loop on how they’re doing when I’m not home. Nile is extremely trustworthy which leaves me stress free while I’m away. Thank you Nile!
