About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and real-life experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have my own pets, so I understand daily routines, feeding, playtime, and comfort needs. I’ve also pet-sat for family and friends, caring for animals of different ages and personalities, including seniors, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am a full time college student so I am unable to do regular job schedules but pet care is way more accessible to me and plus it would actually be enjoyable! Although for house sitting on certain days I can be there for a couple of hours but not overnight. I provide attentive check-ins and in-home daycare by following each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space, give them plenty of affection, and keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

“Esmeralda was amazing!! Would absolutely book her again. She took care of our sweet and wild Andy (even tracking down his GPS tracker when he inexplicably lost it!) and I could tell he was super well cared for while we were away. She was also an awesome guest in our home. 15/10 stars”

“Doreen did a great job taking care of my two cats. Followed all my instructions and even brought in some unexpected packages. Appreciated the pictures with each drop in.”

About: I am a third year college student attending CSULB majoring in hospitality management. I grew up in the Bay Area where I’ve babysat for many years, and pet sit for the last few. Many of which have been ongoing for the past few years. Growing up I had a gecko, and then later on had a hairless cat, which now lives with my older brother. I do have a part time job at the moment working at a restaurant, however would love to get time to walk or play with animals when time allows! I see it as a great way to relax and focus on the positives in life. I do not have the capacity to care for pets in my own home, however I have a reliable car and am happy to travel to yours and provide the services needed.

“Marby was wonderful. She took extra special care of our cats, one of which had a wounded paw and needed extra attention. She kept in touch with us every day and left the house clean, floors vacuumed and trash emptied. Truly a great house/pet sitter. Could not recommend enough and will hire her again.”

“Teah was great from the start. She came and met my bay girl Buttercup before we booked, to make sure she (buttercup) felt comfortable with her. Immediately, Buttercup started to get close to Teah and felt comfortable around her. Teah also sent me pictures and kept me updated while I was away. I will definitely book again in future trips, if she’s available.”

About: My lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’ve completed puppy training classes with my own dog, so I understand how to teach patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. My years of volunteering at animal shelters taught me how to handle pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every animal like my own, giving them the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I’m currently going to college and have classes Monday through Thursday, but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I only have morning classes! I have plenty of time during the evening on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as most of the day Friday through Sunday to spend quality time with your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their routine consistent and stress free. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and give them plenty of attention and playtime. I always keep their space clean, provide fresh water, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I love spending quality time with each pet; whether it’s cuddling, playing, or going for walks, so they feel loved and cared for until you return.

About: I've been a cat lady my entire life. Until finding a litter of month old puppies in a Weinerschnitzel parking lot late one stormy night almost 3 years ago. I've long been involved in cat rescue, and thought "I can foster puppies." I failed catastrophically at that. 😂🐈‍⬛🐕🐕🐛🦋💗 ChiliDog and SmallFry are the joy of my life. Sisters and best friends, they're a pair of wild rambunctious Siberian Huskies, each with their own unique personalities, and lots of energy to burn. We go to the dog park almost every single day to run a few miles, with an entire pack of their closest friends of course. I've been a pet sitter for over 8 years now. I worked for Prefurred Pet Care from November of 2017 - until the business closed in the summer of 2025. I've worked for Bark City Sitting since July of 2024 - present. I have lots of experience with many different breeds and personalities. I know how intelligent dogs are and treat them with the respect they deserve. I also have experience with medicating dogs. I look forward to meeting your furbabies and getting to know the charming quirks that make them special. I have 35 years of cat care experience. I'm a bit of a cat whisperer. I'm skilled at befriending the shy timid kitties. I also have experience with some exotic pet care, like raising Monarch butterflies and Praying Mantises. Thank you for considering me to help meet your pets needs. I'm looking forward to making new furry friends. I've been a full time petsitter for 8 years now. I'm looking to grow my clientele again, after the company I was working for closed. I'm also an artist. So my schedule is mostly free and flexible, other than the occasional art shows. I'm available for walks or drop in visits most days from 10am to 10pm. I understand that trusting a stranger in your home is a scary decision. I struggled with that myself the first time I ever hired a pet sitter for my kids. Please know that I will treat your home, and your furbabies with the utmost respect. I do like to arrange a meet & greet with any dogs before our scheduled visit, for both mine and your safety. Everyone should feel comfortable with the dynamic before we proceed.

“It’s so stressful finding someone to take care of your pets while you’re away so I’m glad I found Hannah to look after my two cats. It usually takes a bit for my cats to trust new people and I even told her one of the cats probably won’t want to interact with her this first time she watches them, but much to my surprise they warmed up to her right away and begged her for pets while she was there! It was such a relief knowing my cats were getting some love and attention while we were gone. Hannah is a wonderful pet sitter and I’m sure my cats are looking forward to seeing her again.”

“Melissa was a life saver. She took our request at the last minute, was accommodating and treated them with love and care. Enjoyed the pictures she took so much that I am going to frame them! Overall I would give her 10 stars 🌟 if I could.”

“Kitties were well cared for. Cleaned the house even though we didn’t ask for it and kept in communication!”

About: I’ve taken care of/ had dogs ever since I was 5 I enjoy spending time with dogs and caring for them. My friends and family always trust me with their pets whenever they’re away if you ever need someone to help with your pets in the person. I’m currently working full time so I can be with your pups Saturday and Sunday full time and any time before 8 am on weekdays and anytime after 8:30 pm. I will play with your pets in your home I have 4 dogs if my own so I’m experienced with dogs and I am ok with being around big dogs. I can’t dog sit at my house I don’t have a fenced in yard.

“Michelle was amazing with my dogs! She came and did extra long drop in visits and made sure not only the dogs were good but cleaned up the back yard daily too! I will definitely be using her again soon!”

Heidi M.

“Lupe was a pleasure! She took great care of our cat Olive and our house. Lupe sent us tons of photos and communicated clearly and quickly. We will definitely be booking with Lupe again!”

About: I’m a true animal lover, they have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to parakeets and fish. Dogs have held a special place in my heart for over 20 years, and the bond I’ve shared with my own has taught me just how deeply pets feel love, patience, and consistency. Caring for animals truly brings me joy, I have a special soft spot for senior dogs who may need extra care, medications, or a little more tenderness and attention. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family. I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Clear communication helps ensure the best experience for everyone, so I kindly ask that drop-off and pick-up times are accurate and that you let me know as soon as possible if plans change. Drop-off and pick-up hours are between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Please note: For the safety, comfort, and happiness of all pets, dogs in my care must be fully house-trained and get along very well with other dogs. Caring for pets is a natural part of my day, and my flexible schedule allows me to spend lots of one-on-one time with them. I love giving plenty of cuddles, playtime, and gentle exercise, making sure each pet feels relaxed, happy, and truly at home while you’re away. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood and love taking dogs on easy, enjoyable walks through calm streets or over to a nearby park for some fresh air and fun. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs and always follow your instructions carefully. Above all, I focus on keeping every pup safe, comfortable, and happy, making sure they feel loved and well cared for the whole time they’re with me. 🐾

About: I grew up with cats since early childhood, and so I always called myself a cat person. For the past 2 years, however, I've been taking care of my roommate's dog and she has stolen my heart. My adopted mom also grew up raising dogs and she has taught me everything I know about dog care. I am currently working a few jobs part-time, so nights are ideal. On Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays I am busy for most of the day, though I would have some time in the early morning and evening. The other days of the week, I have a flexible schedule. I am able to feed, walk, brush, play with, and bathe a pup. Currently I am not offering pet care in my home as my roommate's dog doesn't get along well with other dogs.

“Lauren took care of Dakota by dropping in 3 times a day for an hour each time. I cannot recommend her enough. Dakota easily bonded with her and seemed to just know she was a good human! Lauren arrived promptly and sent me pictures throughout the day. Texting me with updates as requested. She’s awesome! I will definitely be booking her again in the future! :)”
