Pet Sitting in Darrah

“Tyler’s drop in visit worked great. She is very kind and professional. She took the time to do a pre-visit which I was very grateful. Her communications (photos, text and written note) were thoughtful and caring. I will certainly ask for her help again.”

“Vicki was fantastic! They took great care of our dog, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and content while we were away. We appreciated the communication and updates, which gave us peace of mind. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we returned. Highly recommend Vicki for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“This was our second time with Mary caring for our pets, and she was great! I love that she sends daily pics and updates, and it is very sweet of her to leave a little gift for our return home.”

About: Hi!! I’m Sophie! I’ve had plenty of experience with animals including livestock! From cleaning out horses pens to feeding chicken, pigs, and turkeys! You name it! I’ve also been on the receiving end of that, which would be getting bucked off horses to chased my roosters😂. Unfortunately I have had experience with breaking up dog fights. I am in love with animals! I treat every single one like my own. My goal is to not only provide u with good service, but to make sure your baby is well taken care of and LOVED!! I also understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet with a stranger.If I can help you with providing ease to your mind than I’ve accomplished my job! I am able to work 5 day out of the week! I am not available on Thursday or Fridays unless it’s in the mornings to mid afternoon! I have a fenced property. The fence is not perfect so there is a possibility of dogs getting lose but that chance is low bc I wouldn’t leave your dog unattended. I do have 2 other dogs on my property as well as 2 cats. My daughter as well. If your dog does not do well with infants or other dogs I will have to ask we don’t proceed as I need to maintain my daughter’s safety and your animals!

“Shannon is the best! She took excellent care of our two dogs. She made sure they had their exercise, socialized with them. They were 2 very happy dogs. She is very good at communicating so there are no worries while your away. Lots of pics were sent on each visit. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

“Second time working with Alexis and we are very grateful for her. She went above and beyond for us when she came into the home for a check in and noticed our dog was shaking and scared because of a beeping noise in the house. She went out of her way to help fix the problem to calm our dog. Very appreciate!”

“Jef was great with my little senior citizen who has separation anxiety and maybe a little bit of doggy dementia. While I was gone for the evening Jef kept her calm and provided an update letting me know my pup was doing well. He was also very responsive to my last minute scheduling request. I will rebook with Jef for the next time I need a drop in or stay.”

“Casey was very easy to communicate with and gave us detailed note of how the visit with our pups went! We were hiking in Yosemite and wanted to make sure they had a chance to use the bathroom and eat a snack mid-day and Casey was able to kindly help us out that day. We would definitely use her services again if we are back in Mariposa in the future!”

About: I have taken care of many animals through the duration of my lifetime. Whether that be assisting my animals in giving birth to taking those same birthed babies to receive end-of-life care, I have become quite knowledgeable about the responsibility it takes to proper take care of fur-babies. That being said, I do have two of my own and am always willing to ensure that they are receiving the ultimate best care possible and that will very much be translated in the care that every animal that I have the very honor in meeting will receive as well! I do attend college as of now. However, I'd be more than happy to occupy the time that I have when not attending classes to be proving assistance and company to all fur-babies that come my way! I am very diligent in providing pets with a safe and comfortable envirment. Ensuring that their dietary needs are being met and attentive to their activity levels. Some breeds have extra needs that might not be required for another so I will constantly keep myself educated enough to understand how to proper take care of all animals and ensure that proper practices are being enforced when in my care.

“We had an amazing experience with Karissa who watched our best friend Jango, while we enjoyed boating and hiking in Yosemite. Bottom line, Karissa went above and beyond in all ways, even accommodating Jango’s quirky habits like him not enjoying walking on ANY sort of gravel 😂 and some last last minute adjustments to the schedules. Can't recommend Karissa enough to anyone seeking a trustworthy, caring and dependable dog sitter!”

About: I've grown up with German Shepherds, and can lift up to 80 pounds. I often house sat for friends and family. One in which had me take care of four dogs and four cats. My jobs included feeding, walking, and playing with the dogs. As they were diffrent beeds/sizes and some were seniors, they had a very strict potty and pill/medicine times, as well as different portions sizes. I do best with written instructions and am task oriented. In my care your pet will be loved and taken care of. As of right now I am free any day of the week. I am more then willing to do holidays as well as weekends. I am pretty flexible time wise, but do wish for dates to be final set. I am very mindful of pets security and basic behaviors. I will keep parents updated and alert if desired or in emergency situations. I will make sure your pet is taken care of and loved. I thank you for your consideration.

“Pat was a wonderful sitter for our kitty! She was just great with her and fulfilled all special requests and sent me messages and pictures daily to put me at ease. I will definitely be hiring Pat again for whenever we are out of town in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal you could imagine since the age of 7. Animals are my passion. I love them regardless and care for safety above all else. I’m currently working part-time up by Yosemite. I update my work schedule to fit my needs for pet sitting so scheduling isn’t an issue as long as we can confirm the hours requested :)Monday and Tuesday I’m completely free for whatever. I love going to the lake and going on hikes with my dog and playing outside with my chickens and animals. The rest of the week I work night but am free after 10PM. But again, I can change my schedule as I wish so it won’t be a problem:) I have about 4 acres to let your fur babies roam and play about. It is safe and quiet neighborhood away from the street, although it is not fenced in. There’s no loose dogs in our neighborhood and there’s little to none traffic. I will not let pets loose unless they have recall, otherwise i will walk them without a problem on our trails and roads or leave them outside to play on a 25 foot cable. I also offer the option of a 12x12 galvanized steel dog kennel for dogs who prefer to be outside. Dogs and cats are welcome inside and can play with my rat terrier Bailey, ny inside cat Biggie Small, and my two outside black cats Kitty and Meow. As for overnight sitting, they are most welcome inside on the beds, or have access to their own room, I have a medium/large crate as well to use. The 12x12 kennel is an option as well for mostly outside dogs.

“Kinney is my go-to support for watching Miss Emmie. She sends photos and updates, helping me feel more connected when I’m away. I definitely recommend her.”

About: Although I don’t have pets of my own, over the past several years I’ve had the chance to care for a wide variety of dogs of all ages and sizes. I live down the street from some dog friendly hiking trails and my backyard is quite large so the energetic pups are always happy. I am accommodating and love the experiences I have meeting each new pet. A highlight was fostering and finding homes for 5 kittens in 2022! I have a relatively flexible schedule and am willing to travel a reasonable distance, message me for further schedule details- most frequently available on weekends I have a keen attention to detail that can keep too curious pups out of trouble. I love to hear special instructions from the owner about what their pets like!

“We are so thankful for Billie Jo. Our first time away in a very long time so we were nervous about finding care for our cat Moo. She took wonderful care of her while we were away and kept us updated with photos and details. Billie Jo is so sweet and caring to all of us as a family. We are so happy to have her close by. Thank you so much! ❤️”

About: I have lived with all types of pets my whole life and have taken care of dogs for friends and family for as long as I can remember. I am very responsible and have a very flexible work schedule. I work mostly from home. I love all types of dogs, especially the gentle giants! We have lots of room for your dog to run and play and just be a DOG! About 10 acres sorrounds us. Your dog will absolutely love the peace that sorrounds our home. My husband and I would both be in charge to take great care of your sweet dogs! So come visit Yosemite and ill watch you pets while your away! We promise to love on your puppies while your gone! I currently work from home and care for my special needs little sister regularly so i have a very flexible schedule. So I will have plenty of time to watch your pets. And we love daily walks and hikes so they can fit in our routine perfectly. They will be with us wherever we go. If we are outside working in the garden they will be with us. And if we are inside hiding from the weather they will join us as well.

About: I love interacting with animals and am always looking forward to spending time with pets. I am a bird parent and frequent dog walker so I know the importance of properly caring for an animal. I am available most weekends and weekdays in the evening for date nights, movie events or other endeavors. I can watch over the weekend or on weeknights as well. I have a lot of experience with animals from watching my coworkers’ dogs or babysitting my neighbors’ pets. I charge little for my services so you can save money and be safe in knowing that your pets are safe and will be entertained. I believe that pets and humans are equal and deserve the same amount of respect regardless of how many hands or paws you have, and I will care for any dog as it is my own. Thank you. I always schedule time for what is most important and make sure animals are properly stimulated and entertained when I am caring for them. It may not always be easy to tell whether or not your pet is happy so listening and observation is key. As a dog walker, the dog may not be in my home but I will make sure the dog is safe and protected at all times. I would treat the dog as I would myself or another human.
