About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 4 years and truly love working with animals. I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages, including small dogs, large dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve also cared for cats for about a week at a time, helping with feeding, playtime, and keeping them company while their owners were away. I’m patient, dependable, and will care for your pets like they’re my own. WEEK OF JULY 19 WORK SCHEDULE: Wed: 4pm-9pm, Thurs: 4pm-9pm, Fri: 5pm-10pm, Sat: 4pm-9pm I am currently working part time. I am able to stay overnight on weekends (will be notified if I get scheduled by work instead). I have free time to come check on dogs every few hours and give them lots of love and attention. Also depending on my schedule I can work during the week. I’m a college student but I’m on summer break so no need to worry about my school schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are supervised, well cared for, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. I always follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions carefully. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment so your furry friend can feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
“Carlee has been absolutely wonderful with my pup. She always sends photos and a message with how the walks went. She is also super funny telling me the silly things my pup did with her! 😋 she's a great communicator, very flexible with her availability, and very reliable. I never had to worry about my pup in her care. We are very sad to have to let her go for family reasons, but she has offered to help out should we need her again. I highly recommend Carlee for your fur baby's care! 🫶”
“Ash was a godsend when we came to Chico to tour the University campus. She watched Midnight while we did the tour, which made it stress-free for everyone. She was sweet with Midnight and so helpful. I would highly recommend Ash!”

Any time you want me to take them out, leashed, crated, play times, etc
“Grace was wonderful with our dog, Nico. She was prompt and communicated well. However, what really makes Grace standout is how happy and tired our pup was after his walks with her. It is clear she treated him well and tired him out. Thank you Grace!”
About: I've been raised with animals my whole life. At this point I care for a dog, 2 cats, some fish and a lizard in my household, so I am versed in how to take care of a variety of animals. I can care for any age, young or old. I will do my best to ease any stress with leaving your pet at home. We will have an incredible time with playing all day. I will give baths if needed, and take them out to use the restroom when they need to. I have no professional experience, but I will still provide the best care I can. They will get all the attention they want. I hope this will provide enough experience for a career in helping animals.
About: I have lived with and cared for animals almost my entire life, and I have been told many times that I have a way with animals. All of my dogs have been adopted or rescued, and they all came from situations of abuse, abandonment, or neglect. Every single one of my dogs, with love and training, became amazing, wonderful companions. All any dog wants is simply to know what to do to get love and treats. So I'm a big believer in love and treats. With my dogs, I have used Gentle Leader halter collars to guide them for appropriate behavior during walks and click-treat training to teach them what I want them to do. I don't use harsh words, painful collars, or physical punishment. And with cats, all of my cats have been inside-only cats and utterly spoiled. Of course. Over the years, my cats have trained me well, and I speak fluent feline. I am currently working, but my schedule gives me complete freedom and flexibility. I can easily work around your schedule to care for your pets. I realize that people have different ways of caring for their pets and structuring their pet's home environment. I try to be mindful of how my client wants things done and, of course, careful about their pet's safety at all times.

I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to providing your pet with the same love, care, and attention they receive at home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chico
Viviana has been a wonderful dog walker for my parents’ dogs, Coach and Clyde. Both dogs immediately loved her and she was prompt and responsive for all communications and in scheduling future dog walking appointments. Highly recommend her for all dog walking needs!
Writing I highly recommend her! She was always dependable, prompt, and very conscientious. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loved her and was always happy to see her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in good, caring hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with animals.
Alisa has always gone above and beyond for my little Rosie. Rosie had a major surgery this past week, and while I have had a lot of anxiety about leaving her home, Alisa has made me feel at ease. Excellent communication, professionalism, and kindness. I would recommend her to anybody looking for someone to take care of their little furry friend!
Our dog took to Ida instantaneously. She usually takes time to warm up and is tentative, but that wasn’t the case. Ida bent down immediately and interacted with her at her level and she was kind, gentle and read our dogs cues right away. We will be reaching out to her again and would highly recommend
