“Natalie is kind, consistent and reliable. We’ve been very lucky to have her skillful, calm, presence assisting with daily walks and positive reinforcement training for our high energy pup, Kai.”

“Nate is up for the challenge! We had been on the road for 5 hours and needed someone to walk our dog while we went to an appointment. While two others passed on the extended period, Nate signed up to walk him for 2 hours. He was very professional in the fact that even though most would have brought their own dog to this event, he showed up alone and even provided the transportation to the trail. Dalton returned happy and exercised after their four mile walk! Thanks Nate!”

About: I love being with all animals and especially older and disabled animals. I have my experience from working in Animal Shelters for about 2 years, doggie daycares, pet crematories and also petsitting for different companies and myself over 25 yrs. I am a full time traveling pet/housesitter. I have the luxury of boarding dogs at my friends longterm housesit in Grass Valley. I have owned many animals throughout my life and have experience with meds, subQ fluids, end of life, aggressive dogs/cats and finicky pets. I'll treat your babies as if they were mine! I can also share many reviews from other platforms upon request. I am always available to help you out with your fur babies anytime! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. Everyday, any time. A typical day for dog care is a walk/hike in the morning(depending on dog needs), chill/snack/play, and then one more walk in the evening. We go to a different location for each walk! I will follow all directions given in writing on how to care best for your sweet baby. I can do walks, playtime, exercise, training, massage and reiki and anything else needed!

About: I've always loved having pets in my life! Along with caring for my three cats, I've volunteered at an animal shelter and previously fostered cats, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. Since our pets can't tell us what they need in words, I pay close attention to their body language, behavior, and little ways of communicating. Whether it's recognizing when a dog needs exercise, noticing when a cat is feeling overwhelmed, or understanding when an animal wants companionship or a little space, I believe in letting their individual needs guide how I care for them. I'm familiar with everyday care, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, grooming, litter box cleaning, and keeping their spaces comfortable. I do my best to maintain familiar routines and make their time away from family as stress-free as possible. I'm also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your furry companions are doing! Working remotely allows me to spend much of my day at home with my pets. My cats are usually curled up nearby while I work, often taking turns cuddling in my lap as I type. In fact, my little Mitra is sitting on my lap right now as I'm filling this out. Having a flexible work-from-home routine makes it easier to incorporate feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and plenty of company throughout the day. I enjoy having animals around while I work, as they keep me just as much company as I do them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, and there's always room for a few more furry friends. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My priority is to provide a safe, comfortable environment for your pets while respecting your home, privacy, and personal belongings. I will always want to be sure if there are any household instructions first, including pet care routines, security measures, and any areas designated as private. I limit my activities to the spaces necessary for caring for your pets, keep shared areas clean and organized, and ensure your home is properly secured whenever I leave. I believe clear communication is essential, so I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos, promptly address any concerns, and contact you if anything unexpected arises. My goal is for you to return to your home as you have left it, and happy, comfortable pets, with the peace of mind that both have been treated with care and respect.

About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have experience with a wide range of animals and personality types starting from a young age. I have a flexible schedule and can work from anywhere with decent internet, so your animals will benefit from an attentive, experienced carer who goes the extra mile to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats, as well as farm animals. I can work with special medical needs or elderly pets.

About: I offer calm, attentive care for pets, with a steady presence that helps animals feel safe and settled. • Experienced with dog walking, feeding, and drop-in care • Calm, attentive, and intuitive with animals of all temperaments • Comfortable with routines, medications, and special needs • Reliable and respectful in both short visits and extended care Over the past several years, I’ve immersed myself in house and pet sitting, earning a reputation for reliability, cleanliness, discretion, and a calm, responsible presence. I’m often entrusted with extended and live-in care, and I take stewardship of both pets and home seriously. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals and situations, including long-term dog sitting for a couple over several years, from weekend trips to multi-week stays. Before a period of travel abroad, they even flew me to Portland to care for their dogs, Sana and Osa, and their cat Ninja during a three-week wedding trip to Mexico. Sana required extra sensitivity and daily car rides to a quiet cemetery to avoid overstimulation, which I was happy to accommodate. I’ve also house- and pet-sat for a senior couple, caring for two cats, two chickens, and managing a daily bird-feeding system for local avian visitors who were dear companions to the homeowner. In another sit, I tended to a rescue crow and her two cat companions for a full month while the owners were in India studying Vedic astrology. In many of these situations, I’ve also been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, maintaining routines, and simply being a reassuring human presence in the home—keeping things running smoothly, lights on, and the house clearly lived-in while owners are away. I’m very comfortable accommodating unique requests and supporting both pets and homes with care and respect. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and adapt my day around your pets’ needs. I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and companionship, and I’m open to coordinating routines that support your pet’s comfort and wellbeing. I provide care in my clients’ homes, maintaining their pets’ normal routines and environment. I focus on calm, attentive presence, safety, and clear communication. I’m comfortable administering medication, managing feeding and exercise, and keeping the home clean, secure, and lived-in while you’re away. I treat each home and animal with respect, discretion, and care.

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 have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. 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: Offering a safe home away from home, compassionate care, and peace of mind for pet owners is something that all pet sitters should be offering. I go far beyond this standard providing both care and training. Since I was a child, dogs and cats have gravitated toward me and I've always enjoyed their companionship; you can almost always find me with at least one dogs around. It's never been an unruly mass of teeth and paws though; I've always taken the time to teach my furry friends to walk on leash, to have immediate recall, to be polite in kitchen, and to use their voices kindly. I do the same with every animal that I am given care of, gently coaching them to be civil, furry companions while showering them with love. I am currently working from home and set my own schedule. I have a set daily morning and evening walk which your pup(s) will join. During the day, you pup(s) will have company of two dogs, three cats and plenty of pets from me. On weekends we go on adventure hikes. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company during the day. I have crates, leashes, grooming tools and home made dog beds for all pet care needs.

“Thank you for letting yam take you for a stroll 😍”

I do have experience with senior animals that need medication as well as special needs, there hasn’t been an experience that I haven’t learned from! I’ve even read books like Caesar’s Way in order to better understand my own pets and help them. I’ve even been known to be a bit of a perfectionist although that was in my earlier years now I can gladly say am a seasoned sitter! Please feel free to reach out to me before booking my care and I will answer any and all questions! Caring for your family member fits into my routine because at the moment I am a dog Mom of one dachshund with a good partner that loves her as much as I do! I also do volunteer work, which is extremely flexible. Aside from that a lot of what I do is online, which works out great when pet care is involved I will care for your family member by noting all of their needs as well as asking any questions I have about the environment if it was not already covered in our introduction. I like to take notes!

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’m dependable, patient, active, and attentive to the little things that make each pet feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower day full of cuddles and attention, I’ll make sure they get the care, exercise, and affection that fit their personality and routine. As a former Division I athlete with experience playing professional football, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, discipline, and consistency to everything I do. I’m punctual, communicative, and someone you can count on to follow through. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, routines, medication instructions, and household rules so your pet feels right at home. I’m also comfortable being active with energetic dogs while understanding that puppies, senior pets, and more anxious animals may need extra patience, attention, and a gentler approach. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with messages and photos, and make sure you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I know they’re family, not just pets, and I’ll treat them like my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind and make sure your pet is excited to see me again next time! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give your pet the time, attention, and care they deserve rather than trying to squeeze them into a busy day. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check ins, afternoon playtime, or overnight stays. As an athlete, I’m naturally disciplined and routine oriented, so I understand the importance of consistency with feeding times, exercise, bathroom breaks, and daily habits. I’m also active and love getting outside, making walks, outdoor adventures, and playtime a great fit for my lifestyle. At the same time, I’m more than happy to slow things down for pets who prefer a relaxed environment and plenty of company.

In your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure food, water, walks, bathroom breaks, medications (if needed), and any specific care instructions are handled properly. I’m attentive to details, careful with doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings, and mindful of keeping pets away from anything that could put their safety at risk. For walks and outdoor activities, I prioritize secure leash handling, awareness of our surroundings, and keeping your pet comfortable based on their age, energy level, and needs. I’ll never push a pet beyond what they’re comfortable with, and I’ll always take a patient, thoughtful approach to new environments and situations. Communication is just as important as care. I’m happy to send regular photo updates and messages so you can see how your pet is doing and enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll also reach out if I have any questions or notice anything unusual rather than making assumptions. Above all, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want someone to give my own. You can count on me to be responsible, respectful, and fully committed to making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I grew up here in Northern California with many different loyal pet dogs. After high school I joined the Army and got out of active duty in 2017.

I’ve worked for various different high level sled dog kennels, thousands of different dogs, thousands of hours with dogs, thousands of miles with dogs, and even spent a year working at an Athletic & Longevity Canine Research Facility under the mentorship of some of best veterinarians and scientists. My knowledge and experience in general canine medical care, psychology, and training is advanced. I currently work from home & have a flexible schedule. I open to the special needs & care of your beloved pet from all ages. Each pet is individually unique when it comes to specific pet care, so I will work diligently with owners to best understand their pet. I have 1 spayed female 8 y/o Shepherd/Husky mix who is well tempered, a lead sled dog, well socialized to keep your pet company(friendly with both dogs & cats). I have a dog door that leads to a fenced in backyard. Regularly scheduled feeding, walks, & bathroom breaks.
