Leah took such good care of Petunia during my trip abroad. I felt I did not need to worry at all, especially since Leah gave appropriately detailed summaries of her check ins. She didn't miss anything, and has gone above and beyond with every visit. I can tell she truly cares about Petunia's well being, and that gives me great comfort as well. Thank you so much, Leah!

About: I have been around animals my entire life, growing up with 2 dogs, then fostering kittens, having a hamster, two rabbits, and horses. Animals are very important to my live and are a big passion of mine. I have been the sole caretaker of the foster kittens for about 6 years, and have a cat of my own at college with me. My family also has a dog who I grew up with, Finn, and several family cats. We also have two horses who I have ridden and cared for for 10 years, and miss everyday I'm at school. I do have classes throughout the week, but with an hour to two long gaps, I have plenty of time to visit during the day. I would not be able to care for pets in my home, but I can visit to let them into the yard, take them for walks, feed them, or just keep them company.

About: With more than 10 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I truly love working with animals. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, extra scratches, feeding, or companionship, I make sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve. I’m mostly available on Fridays, and the weekends. The weekends, I have the most availability so you can do day trips and not have to worry. I can also do some weeknights. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and easy any stress. It usually helps to have some guidelines to feeding schedules or walk schedules that the owner requests. I will give pets plenty of attention during play time and make sure they are happy, either purring or wagging tails in a good way. I also treat the home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions the owner provides.

About: My husband, Gunner and I have been pet sitting for about 11 years together. We love to make furry friends and are looking for an extra stream of income as we do work full time. We cannot have pets due to our rental situation, so pet sitting is a great solution. We can’t wait to meet your furry friend. We are available after 4pm M-F and free weekends, every other Friday all day. Michela can let pups out her lunch for a quick walk if in the Dana Point/SJC area. Currently cannot house animals at our home due to rental rules, but we are available to sit your pet in the comfort of your own home. Typical day would be getting up, letting dogs out for morning potty and depending on pet’s feeding schedule feed them and wait a little before taking them on a 30 minute to hour walk. At least 3 walks a day, this all depends on the dog’s agility and ability of course.

About: I have grown up in a household with at least 3 dogs my entire life. With busy parents I have been in charge of feeding, washing, and taking care of all of the duties to keep them safe and also enjoying life. I have had experience with aggression, calmness, and everything in between and am well aware of any differences in personality that other individuals may have not had experience with. I am a recently graduated college student that just moved into the area, looking for fun ways to keep me active this summer/fall while having fun on walks, playtime, and sitting. I have grown up around countless pets and absolutely adore any time with them. Safety first! Whether at my place or yours, I make sure everything is secure and pet-proofed. Trust is key, so I always follow your instructions to a T, keeping you updated with pics and messages if that is preferred l. The environment is all about fun and comfort, with plenty of toys, cozy spots, and lots of love to make your pets feel right at home!

About: I have had all different kinds of dogs my whole life. They have all lived long and healthy lives. I also always dog sit for my friends when they are out of town. I am currently working part time at a gymnastics gym for kids but I will usually work on the weekends. I have school in the mornings Monday-Wednesday. Anytime after that or any other day of the week I’m free to pet sit. I have 3 pets at home. They all get along and play around a lot. I walk them daily and make sure they have water at all times and feed them when it’s time.

I was really impressed with Kelsey's kind and sweet ways with my Sammy! He doesn't warm up to easily, and this would have been the very first time I would have left him with a sitter. I have got to say Sam liked Kelsey very much, and came and laid by her, and ate his treats, and really warmed up to her and made me feel oh so comfortable for when I do have to leave him in the future. Kelsey sent me notices when she was on her way here and had wonderful conversation with me once she got here, since I was unable to attend my trip. She was so caring, I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again to take care of Sam, especially now that I have gotten to know her, and was able to see her interact with my precious Sammy. Kelsey was Great!
