Pet Sitting Day Valley

“Very thoughtful and patient with Mischka, who is reactive and can be a handful sometimes. I really appreciated the photo of him going potty since I worry that he won’t get it done with a stranger. But he did! What a relief! Thank you so much!”

“Callie was so great with our dog Ansel! Despite not having met Callie before, Ansel was pleased to get pets and scratches and spend some time with her in the yard. She was very responsive to on the app, and prompt, and made it so easy on us to leave him for the day. We look forward to having Callie help us again!”

“Gabriele took great care of our three dogs (and home) while we were away for the weekend! We received lots of photos and updates and it was fun to see the dogs enjoying themselves while we were gone. Very sweet. Would have Gabriele back anytime!”

About: I have had dogs all my life! I pet sat for puppies, senior dogs, large dogs (80+ pounds), and tiny chihuahuas. I have also worked with anxious-aggressive dogs and can work with you to get your pet care. I currently have a very open schedule as I am working flexible online hours. I can work according to your preferences and I’m good at going with the flow. I want to make sure both you and your pet feel safe. Pets are family and I want you to know they are in good hands! I can make sure your pet care is to your standards. I also always send pictures!

“Melissa was so sweet with my cat and very professional and reliable. It put my mind at ease to know she had my cat care covered while I travelled. Highly recommend!”

“Allison is great! I needed someone to do some drop-ins while I was on a short work trip. Allison came by right on schedule, took care of everything with no problems, and was sure to send me photos and updates. And you can tell she genuinely enjoys getting to spend some time with the animals. I felt like my dog was very well taken care of.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience caring for my family’s dachshund and taking care of my own pets, including a snake, a crested gecko, and a leopard gecko. Caring for different animals has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every pet has different needs. I’m attentive to feeding routines, cleanliness, behavior, and making sure animals have a comfortable environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat yours with the same care and respect I’d want for my own! I’m organized and responsible, and I plan my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the attention they deserve. I’m happy to coordinate visits, walks, and pet sitting times in advance to fit your pet’s routine and needs. I understand that consistency is important for animals, so I’ll do my best to maintain their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedules. I’ll communicate with you ahead of time to make sure we’re a good fit! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your pet has fresh water, appropriate food, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries rather than assuming every animal is the same. I’m careful with doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything that could pose a risk to your pet. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for responsibly, patiently, and with lots of love.

“Mary Ann was great! Responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely use again!”

“Melanie was super friendly, thorough, and takes the best cat portraits! I looked forward to her detailed messages each day and Lady’s beautiful glamour shots! We have an elderly cat and she gave us the peace of mind we needed to get away for a few days, in fact, we just requested her again for our next trip! :)”

About: Hello my name is Leila I’m 25 years old, and I have experience with dogs and cats for over 10 years. I grew up taking care of my family friends and neighbors pets while they were away or at work. I currently have a husky (mix dingo) who has brought some challenges, patience, more knowledge to learn from into my life which has inspired me to want to train dogs with a variety of different behaviors and even helped manage my families dog business managing activities, walking, feeding & training. It’s my passion to work with animals I enjoy their company and I love connecting and socializing with them to stimulate them and give them the exercise they need which is very important to me and to you. If you are worried about how your pet will do with me you won’t have to worry about that because with me they will get everything they need even learn some tricks and side training if interested! Staying active, happy and patient is key to creating a healthy environment around us all. I provide the most loving care and perseverance while you are away. Any concerns/ Questions? Please feel free to contact me so we can set up a meet and greet to make sure we are a good match. I look forward in caring for your furry pet (: Sincerely your your dog whisperer! I’m working Monday -Friday full time I walk the dogs in the morning and back home by 3p. If you live very close to me I can make it possible during the week! I have a fenced patio where there’s enough space along with my husky who will keep your furry one accompanied and have access to go inside home. I can definitely crate your dog if needed as well. My dog is very friendly with small breeds she grew up with chihuahas so she thinks she’s one too.. lol Larger dogs it takes her a minute to get comfortable she can be territorial. Although when I board other dogs I crate her.

About: Greetings! My name is Teresa and I am a true dog lover. I have over 20 years of experience caring for my many dogs (I have owned/loved 10 dogs over the years...up to five at one time!) as well as watched their 'cousins' when needed...which has been frequent ;). I will come into your home and follow whatever regimen you require and desire for your pooches so you and they are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I know how incredibly difficult it can be to find caring and trustworthy people to watch one's canine babies while owners are away--this is my way to give back and help fellow pup parents with this issue. I hope to make many new friends, humans and dogs, in the process as well! Thanks for your consideration! I'm not working at the moment, so very available if necessary. My schedule is very flexible so I can generally be very accommodating to meet your and your fur babies needs. I live alone in my apartment 2 blocks from Twin Lakes. We have Schwan Lagoon trails, and an assortment of beach walks close by. I have a nice sunny balcony with bed/cot and many dog neighbors. If they love people, I have no problem taking them out to socialize.

About: Hi! My name is Sinead. I’m a born animal lover and have been volunteering and fostering with shelters since I was 15. At the moment I have 2 dogs and two cats. I have owned, fostered and pet sat a large variety of dogs, cats, birds, rodents and reptiles. I have experience administering topical, oral, eye, ear and injectable medications to dogs, cats and birds. I also have experience with reactive dogs, spicy cats, elderly and chronically ill animals; including those with seizure disorders. I do work full time and will be unavailable 8am-5:30pm Monday-Friday. I do work full time so will not be available 8am-5:30pm weekdays. Outside of those hours I have a very flexible schedule and can cater to a variety of needs. I excel at reading body language and always want your pet to feel comfortable. I’d rather err on the side of caution so do not allow dogs to approach strangers dogs when out and about. I always keep dogs on leash when outside of fenced areas. I also have multiple seatbelt for dogs when traveling by car.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, big and small alike all my life. I grew up with a boxer and a golden retriever in the home so I’m accustomed to the joy of having pets in the house. More recently I’ve pet sat for families who have homes in Europe, and would go visit during the holidays. I’ve been caring for this elderly dog in particular for over 10 years. He’s a sweet tempered dog but takes medicine everyday so I’ve become well adept at hiding his meds inconspicuously to get him to eat it without any problems. I also love working with puppies and find that caring for younger dogs is a lot of fun, and is exciting too! I love aussies, border collies, and spaniels but find that I can get along with just about any breed. I’m the type of person to always stop to ask to pet your dog on walks, and love showering dogs with affection and love. One of my favorite past times, is letting a dog run free off leash, and play frisbee with him or her. I’d love to provide loving, friendly, and fun care to your furry friend and I look forward to our first paw-shake! Currently in school, but available after and before classes start-and free on weekends! I’m in school, but I have plenty of time to run around and meet your pets. I would look forward to days pet sitting, or walking, and would love to meet you and your pets! I care for pets mainly in your home, I find it easiest because some pets can get flustered in new environments. I strive to get to know them and build trust by being in their home turf to see all their favorite toys, and where they feel most comfortable. I look forward to seeing how they play and grow at their most comfortable!

About: Not only do I love animals but I also have many years of experience taking care of them. I always had cats and dogs growing up. I later gained a lot of experience by taking care of my sisters’ and friends pets. I am always their go to sitter. I have had my Golden/ Pyrenees named Summer for 5 years now and she has also taught me a lot. I have now been caring for dogs on Rover for a year and I absolutely love it! I love long walks with my pup so you can be sure that your pup will get lots of exercise, pets, and lots of love. Summer is the friendliest pup so she will happily welcome another dog into her pack. I work full-time during the week but I’m available on evenings and weekends. I am happy to host them at my place or yours if you prefer. Your pup is allowed in the house and on furniture at all times. We have a doggy door for them to go in and out from and I also monitor them at all times. They will be treated like my own and be given so much love and attention.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had two or three at a time—from Huskies, Malamutes, and wolf dogs to French Bulldogs, Border Collies, and Pit Bulls—so I learned early that every breed brings its own personality, challenges, and way of learning. Over the years, I’ve worked on the fundamentals with a wide variety of dogs and later had the opportunity to learn from an experienced trainer with a background in search and rescue, protection work, and advanced behavior training. That experience helped me expand my skills, understand dogs on a deeper level, and appreciate how much the right approach can change both a dog’s behavior and their future. Now I’m building something of my own. My goal is to keep learning, keep improving, and use the skills I’ve developed to help dogs become more confident, manageable, and successful in their homes. Most importantly, I hope to help give dogs with behavioral challenges a second chance—and keep as many as possible from being euthanized simply because they were misunderstood or never given the right training. I tend to favor weekends and over nights with my work schedule. However, flexibility is possible. Scheduling your pups appointments ahead will always be recommended! I work with both dogs and handlers/owners to facilitate better communication. Once a dog can communicate effectively with their human, a bond deeper than “the hand that feeds me” can develop.

About: hello! i’m itzel feel welcome to check my profile :) I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, i grew up taking care of my own fur baby bella boo (she’s also in one of the pictures lol) and she’s taught me how much love, patience, and attention pets deserve.

I’m responsible, attentive, and will most definitely treat your pets like they’re my own.

About: I have grown up in Santa Cruz my whole life. I have had many different pets and want to pursue my love for animals by taking care of yours. I have also taken an animal training course at Cabrillo College. I currently work part time as an EMT and on my days off I love to be outside and walk my dog, I usually dedicate my whole day to be with her whether it’s bike rides, walks, or beach days. I take my dog to her annual vet check ups. My dog has insurance and is currently eating 2 meals a day. One in the morning and one at night. She is a very loving dog to humans and other dogs. I trust her off leash at the beach so we do that regularly. She also enjoys cruiser bike rides on west cliff.

“Isolyn is a trustworthy pet care provider who I would definitely recommend. She did a marvelous job caring for my two elderly cats while we were away. I appreciated her frequent updates and photos!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, including my own. I am looking forward to bonding with my neighborhood animals. I love to go on long walks I work from home part-time and have plenty of time to give your animal the love and attention they need. I frequently go for a long walk and would love to be accompanied by a pet. I have a very animal, friendly home and happy to crate them if needed as well. I would love to spend most of the time outdoors with the pet going on long walks.
