Pet Sitting Christie

“Met letter was great with our two cats! She did all the basics (food/water/litter box) and then gave them some extra love and attention. She even got our shy one to come out and say hi! Would definitely recommend her for all of your pet needs and we will Definitely be using her again ❤️”

“Nathan was such a huge help with Lucky! He was incredibly attentive and quickly picked up on Lucky’s individual quirks and needs. He confidently handled Lucky’s dog reactivity on walks, instinctively knew not to reinforce his mouthiness when he gets excited, and consistently rewarded good behavior with treats and praise. Lucky warmed up to Nathan very quickly, which says a lot, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such capable hands. Nathan followed all of my instructions closely and clearly has great instincts with dogs. He even fixed an issue with my microwave while he was here, which was an unexpected and very appreciated bonus! 😂 I would absolutely trust Nathan with Lucky again and highly recommend him!”

“FANTASTIC. Deborah is a total pro and exceeded our expectations in every way. We recently took a 7 day trip (the longest we’ve ever been away from our shy little cat) and feel so lucky that we found Deborah. Our cat usually is very nervous around new people, but took right to her and they were snuggling in no time. Loved getting the photos each day and it gave us peace of mind knowing our kitty was in such capable hands. 10/10!!”

About: Funny enough, I didn’t grow up as a dog person! I was born and raised in San Francisco and spent most of my life living in an apartment where pets weren’t allowed. I actually grew up being afraid of dogs—I still remember running away from a tiny poodle as a kid! That all started to change when my friends began getting fur babies of their own. The more time I spent around their dogs, the more I realized how sweet, loving, and full of personality they were. Slowly, that fear disappeared and turned into a genuine love for dogs. Before I knew it, I was getting attached to every pup I met! When my brother and sister-in-law got their Corgi in 2022, I absolutely fell in love with him. I honestly lost count of how many times I visited them just to see their pup! I was always happy to offer to babysit whenever they were away, which gave me more hands-on experience caring for a dog on my own. Over the past 5 years, I’ve helped care for and dogsit for family and friends, and eventually, I knew I wanted a fur baby of my own. I’m now a proud dog mom to a Samoyed who I’ve raised since he was just 9 weeks old. He’s a little over 1.5 years old now, and raising him from such a young age has taught me so much about puppy care, routines, feeding, walks, playtime, training, patience, and handling all that puppy energy! My boyfriend also has a Boston Terrier, so our household is currently home to two very different pups—my big, fluffy Samoyed and his much smaller Boston Terrier. Living with and caring for both of them every day has given me experience managing multiple dogs with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and needs. It has also taught me that every dog is different, and getting to know their individual quirks and personalities is one of my favorite parts of being around them. Because I know firsthand what it’s like to go from being unfamiliar with dogs to completely falling in love with them, I have a lot of patience and respect for each dog’s individual personality and comfort level. I also know how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: to give your pup the same love, attention, patience, and care that I would want someone to give my own. ❤️ I work a Monday–Friday desk job and usually work remotely from home, so I’m able to be around throughout the day to give your fur baby plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My weekends are also free, which gives me even more flexibility for daycare and boarding. I occasionally need to go into the office for meetings or special projects. On those days, I typically leave early around 5:30 AM and am back home by about 2:30 PM (or earlier). My flexible schedule allows me to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine and give your fur baby plenty of love, attention, and company while they’re staying with me. Since I have two pups of our own, walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of doggy attention are already a regular part of my daily routine! 🐾 I live in a quiet townhome community in Hercules, just a few minutes’ walk from beautiful Refugio Valley Park—perfect for walks, fresh air, and some extra sniffing time! My home is a two-story townhome with a fenced backyard, giving the pups a secure outdoor space for potty breaks and supervised playtime. I have two house-trained fur babies, a Samoyed and a Boston Terrier, so my home is already very dog-friendly. I also understand that every pup has their own personality and comfort level. There are baby gates throughout the house to section off different areas when needed, whether that means giving energetic pups their own space to play or providing a quieter area for those who would rather relax and lounge on the couch. Speaking of couches—pups are welcome! There are two couches with plenty of room for anyone who wants to curl up, get comfy, and make themselves at home. There are also crates in a variety of sizes, toys, and other pet supplies available when needed. For additional safety and peace of mind, my home is equipped with cameras to keep an extra eye on the pups and my home environment when needed. Safety and comfort are very important, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any specific care instructions you provide. My home is also within walking distance of Hercules Pet Hospital, which gives me additional peace of mind should veterinary care ever be needed. Ultimately, I want your pup to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here—and for you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for like one of my own. ❤️

“Kyla was professional, courteous, dependable, and took excellent care of my cat,Baxter. She provided a great sense of comfort and peace of mind for me to leave my cat under her care for five days. Twice a day, I received pictures showing me that Baxter was being well cared for. All my directions for his care, including medication, meals, litter box and treats were followed to the letter.For future care of my pet, there would be no hesitation on my part to entrust Baxter‘s care with Kyla. Thank you💕”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up as a child at my grandparents and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.I’ve been taking care of various pets while their owners are away at work, or on vacation. I’m currently taking clssses online from home and have time to to board during the week/ weekends. This is the perfect time in the summer for me to stay home and pick hobbies. I’ve one dog name Sadie and a back yard to play and have company. Sadie is full of energy and would love to play w another fur babies

About: I’ve been taken care of animals most of my life for family members or friends, I have pets of my own that I have trained and raised as well from young ages to taking care of senior pets. I’m am not currently working so I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your amazing animals, I do have young children but they are wonderful with animals or can be taken care of by my mother so I can care for your fur babies. I live in a townhouse, but they are open to any breed of dogs, I have plenty of places to walk animals in my own home. I have a vehicle that can get to, and from places. I will be very respectful of your home so if you need me to watch your animal there I can do that as well.

“Erin take wonderful care of my two pups! She takes my schnauzer for walks and takes my little old Shih Tzu out to potty and administers her mid day eye drops. She is always on time and provides great updates!”

“Appreciated Folasade taking care of our kitties while we were away!”

“Annie took good care of my shy kitty. She seems to have very good sense about cats, and was able to get my kitty to come out of hiding and play, pretty much right from the start. Annie sent informative updates after every visit, including a variety of pictures that helped me see how my cat was doing. When I got home, the litter box and plates were not as clean as I would have preferred -- it seems like Annie prioritized playtime in her short (half hour) visits, and that was what I wanted.”

About: I have have been taking care of dogs of different sizes for as long as I can remember. Ranging from German Shepards to chihuahuas. My heart is very big for animals and I am always rescuing animals so there is never a time that I am without a pet. I treat all pets like they are my own and will take care of them as if they were my own. I love spending time with my very young and active Maltipoo who loves playing with other dogs at the dog park. He is very social and kind. He loves licking faces and resting his head on your legs. He also loves going to the beach to dip his paws in water. We run together almost everyday. I believe a healthy dog is a happy dog. Taking my dog on either a morning stroll or night hike is my top priority and would be the same for any pet I care for. I believe in consistency. I will try to keep your pet’s schedule and routine as similar to what they’re familiar as possible. My wish is make them comfortable and happy until their owner returns.

“Thank you so much for caring for our spotty boy! We really appreciate you and the time you took to come see to his needs. Excellent work, super responsive and communicative.”

About: I live in Hercules (East Bay) and only do IN HOME CARE for dogs and sometimes cats. I've found there is less stress if they stay in their own familiar surroundings with your smells; especially if they are blind or deaf or have elderly med needs.. I also give medications and understand senior dog needs. My small Chihuahua SOPHIE comes with me and gets along with everyone. I am semi-retired and will attend to all your instructions, sleep with your baby if that is what is required. I specialize in small dogs but will consider anything, especially if you are in a bind and need someone ASAP. Call me and let's discuss your needs! Thank you. I'm semi-retired and usually available. I am happy to take your dog to dog parks. Sophie and I go on long walks everyday, sometimes twice. We are active. We will follow your schedule. I've great references for in-home care which is all I do now. I also keep the house clean and will do laundry or other needs while I am there. Long or short stays, just let me know what you need. I've background checks that are stellar, never any incident. I am a professional.

“Isaiah could not have been a better pet sitter! He has a very gentle soul and is obviously an animal person. Our dog, who is ofter a little cautious with strangers, bounded up to him when we did our meet-and-greet. Even our standoffish cats gave in to his calming ways. Coming home after 5 days away, we found our house in perfect condition, all the pets food and water filled, the litter box clean, and a houseful of contented animals. We will absolutely be having Isaiah take care of our pets in the future!”

That’s why I am going to send daily updates, I am going to send photos every day, I am going to make sure your pet is able to stay in there same routine there use to, so they don’t even realize that your gone!

I just want to give your furry friends lots of love and attention without the expensive price tag! 🐾. I’m available to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day, with regular potty breaks, playtime, meals, and time to relax when needed to. I work from home so I am always available! Your dog safety comes first! I’ll supervise them throughout their stay, our home has a big backyard where they can safely play roam and relax. Everything is tightly fenced off, so no escaping here!

About: I grew up as the daughter of a professional dog trainer, so thoughtful, attentive dog care has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My partner Mitch and I genuinely love having dogs in our home, and we aim to give every guest safe, loving, individualized care. Our sweet 15-year-old dog, Chunk, is a gentle and easygoing host. We also have a cat, so we’re unable to accept dogs with a history of aggression toward dogs or cats. What a stay with us looks like: • Individualized care for puppies, seniors, high-energy, reactive, and special-needs dogs • A comfortable home setting with a secure fenced yard, cozy resting spots, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship • Daily exercise and enrichment tailored to your dog’s interests, from sniff walks and fetch to hikes, puzzles, and light training practice • Extra safety precautions, including a tracking collar during their stay and long leads for safe outdoor exploration • Thoughtful daily updates with high-quality photos and notes about how your dog is doing • Attentive routine care, including medications, post-adventure checks, basic grooming, and close attention to behavior and wellbeing • A fresh send-off, with brushing, ear and paw care, a gentle freshen-up, and washed bedding, blankets, or toys when needed I’m trained in canine CPR and happy to reinforce basic manners while following your preferred training methods. Every guest also goes home with a personalized stay report card with highlights, routines, favorite activities, and a few memorable moments from their visit. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel less like they’re being boarded and more like they’re staying at a summer camp designed just for them. I work from home so I can be as available as your dog needs. My partner also is home for most of the day, and only works in the evenings so one of us is almost always home. We live surrounded by trails and parks so your dog will have ample adventures during their stay. Every dog will be treated with the same love and care as if they were our own. We have a large fenced yard that they are free to roam, and a cozy home with dog beds everywhere. We allow dogs on couch and bed, though I can maintain any rules you have in your home for consistency. We do also have a cat so we cannot accept any dogs that are in any way aggressive towards cats or small critters.

“Jenna took great care of our shy cat over the holidays and sent updates to let us know how she was doing. Would be happy to have Jenna look after her again!”
