Sabre is the best! She gave our 2 small dogs and 1 cat the best care while we were on vacation. She played with them, snuggled, and gave them love while we were gone. She even got our shy baby to warm up to her! She is very sweet, professional and willing to work with you to provide the best care your fur babies need ❤️

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!

About: I will do everything to keep your dog safe, loved and comfortable!! I have taken care of dogs recently, I always make sure to give them the love and attention that they deserve if not more. I understand the feeling of leaving your dog at home while you are away and I want to continue to be the person people feel safe and secure to leave their dog at home or with me. I have a dog that loves too play as well so making friends is never a worry for him. I currently work part time, but after 1pm I am available. I do have some errands I do but doesn’t usually last for more than an hour. I am a student as well and attend online classes on Mondays but it won’t a disturbance. I am available on weekends for boarding or pet sitting at someone’s house as well. I live in a small apartment but have three room in which one isn’t being used. There is a big grassy area behind my apartment that I usually take my dog to and we do lots of long walks. There is plenty of of space for your fur baby and even though I have cats they like to be in one room so they wouldn’t be a bothers

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!

About: I grew up caring for pets throughout my childhood, including cats and dogs, and as an adult I have my own fur babies. I love all animals as much as I love people so your animal will definitely be LOVED! I am currently off work for the summer so I can easily fit in drop ins and walks throughout my day. I care for my own pets three times a day and their safety and wellbeing are my first priority. I always keep my dog on leash when out of the home and stay in safe pet friendly environments. Safety and social/emotional wellbeing of animals are my first priorities.

About: We both had a family dog growing up. Trask is very active and loves going on dog walks/hikes. Emiko has cared for dogs throughout college. She also raised her Weimaraner mix dog since puppyhood until her passing at the age of (almost) 14. We still miss her greatly! We can usually arrange to be home full-time between the two of us, so your dog will have the attention your pet needs! We really love dogs. Trask is very good at being your dog's playmate! Emiko tends to say hi to every dog she passes-by. She is also pretty good at reading dog body language since she has dealt with a dog who had some behavioral issues. We try to educate ourselves reading dog training techniques/dog behavior books. If this is your first-time with us, we do require a meet-and-greet at no cost to you. Thank you for understanding. Thanks for looking, and we look forward to meeting you and your dog! We love evening walks but can accommodate more if needed. Just tell us know what the best schedule for your pet is. On the weekend, we are doing something outside whether it's gardening or going somewhere to hike. We would bring your furry along if you feel comfortable. We are also happy to stay around with your pet. If we are at your home, please give us all information we need to keep your pet happy and safe. For any booking, the more information you give us the better. It's important to tell us any reactivity that your pet may have.

About: I have gone through dog behavioral training courses with my own dogs, and have volunteered with the Humane Society to socialize kittens. I have two cats, who are happy and healthy. I work from home part time, so I have time throughout the day for drop-in care and dog walking, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I am available both weekdays and weekends, and can be flexible to work with your schedule. I treat my clients home with respect and care. I will follow your directions and be attentive to your needs and requests. Meet and greets are a good way to be on the same page about expectations of the service.

About: Taking care of a dog's physical comfort and well-being makes them happy, which makes me happy! Having grown up with dogs in the house, I started training my own dog at the age of nine. Being my own boss means I create time to be blessed by the presence of your dogs. While housesitting for you, your home and animals are my only concern. In your home, I feed, water, brush, and play with your dogs. If you like, I can also bathe your precious. During our walks we do a little bit of training. Rather than offering treats, I utilize praise as their reward for a job well done.

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.

About: About Me Hi! My name is Jalyssa, and I’m a 19-year-old Animal Science major currently in college with a huge passion for animal care and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve had my own dog for 15 years, where I was actively involved in daily care, training, feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure all of their needs were met. Along with caring for my own pets, I also have experience pet sitting for others and helping raise puppies and kittens, so I’m comfortable with animals that need extra patience, attention, and routine. As someone studying Animal Science, I genuinely love learning about animal health and behavior, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m looking for something productive that keeps me busy while also allowing me to do something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with and caring for animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their specific routines and needs. I pay close attention during walks, feeding times, playtime, and interactions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I know what it means to view your pets as your family. I share my home with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and backyard is even shared with 15 chickens! My furry and feathered friends are my world! And we’ve learned a lot together about building a healthy, happy, and cohesive home through trust and training. Other than being a pet parent for the past 15 years, I grew up as the neighborhood pet sitter as a kid/teen. I often did overnight stays for anxious pets, or provided timely medication for sweet seniors. As a pet parent, I truly understand the important of having a sitter you can trust to provide mutually agreed upon services. With me, you have reliable care for all your pet needs. I currently work full time as a hybrid remote worker. Some of my weekday time is spent in office, however I have lots of time spent working at home with flexibility throughout my day to hang out and be nearby to your furry friends. Please be sure to message me about your pet’s needs so we can build a schedule that works for them! I never leave a door open or a fence unlatched and pets are always leashed during walks. As a husky owner, I know what it’s like to have a curious escape artist with a knack for adventure. While training has brought us a long way from his early Houdini days, I maintain the habit of staying vigilant when it comes to pet safety.

We felt very comfortable having her at our air bnb without even meeting her. She also went above and beyond to give us local Chico recommendations for the rest of our visit. Would definitely use Deena again!! Thank you Deena!! Because of you we had the best day out on the trails.

Zackary went above and beyond with our dogs. When they were anxious he was patient and sat with them, and they quickly warmed up first visit. One of our dogs anxiety made her not want to eat, he sat down on the ground with so she felt more comfortable and she ate right away. He was great with communication and was so patient and involved every visit. He took the time to go out and play with them every visit. And always made sure they were settled and had everything they needed every time he left a visit. We hands down definitely will be booking with him again. I cannot recommend his services enough, he is truly caring and compassionate with animals.
