About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including different breeds, personalities, ages, energy levels, and individual needs. For dogs, I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments through walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. While living in Australia, I spent two months walking and house sitting an Alaskan Malamute, which gave me valuable experience handling a large, high-energy dog with patience and confidence. I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to friends and family and enjoy adapting care to each dog’s personality and activity level. Cats have been a major part of my life for over a decade. I have three rescue cats of my own, all former strays, and I regularly foster cats and kittens. Through my own pets and fostering, I’ve cared for cats ranging from bottle babies to seniors, as well as shy, fearful, and formerly feral cats. I’m also comfortable caring for cats with special medical or dietary needs, including administering oral or topical medications, using syringes for feeding or medication, and following specific feeding and care routines. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, and litter box habits because I know that small changes can be important. I also understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, medication, playtime, or simply some quiet companionship, I tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their family peace of mind. Pet care is my full-time work, so I’m able to dedicate my days to providing attentive and reliable care for the pets I look after. I structure my schedule around my clients’ routines, whether that means morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays. Because pet care is my primary focus, I have the flexibility to give each pet plenty of individual attention rather than trying to fit visits around another job or busy work schedule. I’m also able to accommodate longer stays and, when my schedule allows, last-minute bookings. I truly enjoy making pet care part of my everyday life, and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to give pets the companionship, exercise, and care they need while their families are away. When I care for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved; just as they would if you were home. During house sitting, I stay in your home and closely follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that includes feeding, medication, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. I also keep your home clean, secure, and tidy, watering plants if needed, and making sure everything is just as you left it. For drop-in visits, I provide personalized care and attention, including feeding, fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or backyard potty breaks, administering medications when required, and spending quality time playing or cuddling. Whatever your pet needs to feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. When it comes to dog walking, safety is always my number one priority. I use secure harnesses or leashes, avoid busy or high-traffic areas, stay alert to other animals and potential distractions, and tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level. I never walk dogs off-leash and always ensure they’re hydrated and comfortable before and after each outing. Plus, I send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Markita helped us when we had a last minute booking. Our dog loved her walks. Will definitely be booking again.”

“This was Sonjia’s first time walking our dog, Nico, and she did a wonderful job. She took him on two walks on Thursday and another on Friday, and she was punctual, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout. Nico responded really well to her right away. He is an older dog and the heat can tire him out quickly. He came back from each walk tired in a good way, and it was clear she handled him with care and attention. We felt very comfortable trusting her with him and would happily book her again.”

About: I've taken care of my dogs, friends' dogs, and house-sat for dog owners. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday, and I’m fully available Thursday through Saturday. On those days, I can give your pet my full attention and focus on their care, routine, and needs. On Sunday through Wednesday, I am available before 8 am and after 8 pm. I provide dog sitting and dog walking with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine. I am comfortable with small dogs and large dogs who need a lot of exercise.

“Tatjana was really fantastic with my dog. She took her time to get to know my dog during the meet and greet. She has an understanding of dogs and what they need. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again. Thank you so much.”

“He watched our dog while we were out of town for four days and he was reliable and communicated with us during each visit. He sent photos of our pup on each visit and also fed and filled his water bowl. We will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Cedric.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and am the proud dog mom of my own Husky–Goldendoodle, Nagi. Caring for her has given me experience with daily walks, exercise, feeding, enrichment, grooming, and understanding different dog personalities and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and consistent routine while owners are away. In my professional career, I manage programs for the State of California, so being dependable, organized, and communicating clearly comes naturally to me.

I provide frequent photo and video updates so you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands.

“Shelby feels like family. I asked her to stop by so I could introduce her to Lala and walk her through the routine. She was on time, and she made me feel very comfortable. She was at ease with Lala, who is almost blind, and somewhat stand offish. She is definitely, a keeper!”

“Destiny was so sweet with our dogs and seemed to have no trouble handling both of them on their walk, even though they can be quite rambunctious.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I started walking. I currently have a beautiful bengal named nova and a tiny chihuahua named lucky. I used to dog sit and help out with my neighbors senior dog as well. I have looked after my friend’s animals for years. All dogs are puppies to me no matter the size or age! I currently am a stay at home mom looking for work to make a little money doing something I love and that means spending time with animals! I am willing to be flexible and extend what hours I am available if discussed ahead of time. I would love to do walks and enjoy your fur babies to help people. I have always been very sure to make sure all gates/fences are closed, all doors are closed, pets are accounted for and making sure meds are dispersed correctly. Your pets are safe with me.

About: I grew up on a farm, animals galore. I was always with the animals, they are incredible companions, as well as teachers. I have been on the birthing end of Dogs, Birds, Fish, Turtles Horses, Cows and sheep. Unfortunately I have been on the departure side as well. My love of animals is only second to my love of Life. When your pets are under my care, rest assured that I will act as an extension of you. I also have a very extensive medical education, no not vetinary, but this is the one time I am glad they can't talk. People give way to much information, where as animal will give you indications as to the possible problems. It has been my experience that diet is usually the culprit, but not always. Thanks from one Animal Lover to their Owners. half of the question is blocked so I am not sure what I am describing? i think its asking how does pet care fit into my schedule. it's part of the job. make sure all exits are secure, and that water and food are available, for cats, I would check their box for clumps. Any other critters would be treated according to there familial traits.
