About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs and have always been comfortable around them. I had a Labrador before, so I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and spending time with dogs. I graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Animal Science in 2025 and also have some experience interning at a vet clinic, which helped me better understand animal health and behavior. Since summer 2024, I’ve been helping friends with dog sitting, walking, and boarding. I’ve done three long-term stays (over a month each), so I’m comfortable caring for dogs for extended periods and helping them settle in. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to send updates and photos while you’re away! I’m currently a student, but I have good availability in the mornings before 8am and in the evenings after 5pm, so I’m able to do walks and spend quality time with your dog during those hours. I’m also flexible on weekends and can adjust based on your pet’s routine. I’m happy to follow their usual schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I live in an apartment right now, but I make sure pets have a clean, safe, and comfortable space. I take dogs out for regular walks and make sure they get enough exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. I pay close attention to their behavior and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, routines, and any special needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease.

About: I've looked after animals since I was a kid. I love cats and dogs alike and would look after them for loved ones and neighbors. I have a flexible schedule right now. I am currently looking for a more stable job but I have lots of experience working with animals and I know how to handle them with respect and safety. I like to visit the dogs in there own homes and take them for walks. I let to dog tell me what they need usually depending on energy levels. If they have a lot of energy I'll take them out longer or if they don't want to move I would take them as long as it took for them to relieve themselves and then I will engage them in play.

About: I have taken care of dogs from a young age, I started dog sitting at the age of 12 for family friends. Recently I got a dog myself that is a Havanese puddle, her name is Lily and I adore her and miss her so much since she is back home. I have always had dogs as a part of my life and want to continue this by helping people with their own dogs here. Pet care fits into my schedule either weekly or daily depending on what is being asked. On Mondays, I can help after 2 pm. As for Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am pretty busy. But on Wednesdays and Fridays I have a really flexible schedule. At home, I care for my dog by walking, feeding, grooming, and playing with her as much as possible. I think it is very important to make sure that dogs have long walks and have amplitudes of playing time, which I think I am able to do with my own dog.

“Sally is amazing! This is the first time I've needed a sitter for my very senior feline and she responded to my request very quickly and was willing to do a meet and greet beforehand. I was nervous about leaving this very particular elderly gent cause he is a bit high maintenance with feeding, twice-daily medication, and wants lots of human attention. I should not have been concerned! Sally came through, took perfect care of him, and kept me updated with regular texts and photos. I cannot thank her enough!”

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for about 5 years, in addition to caring for cats and dogs my whole life. I focus on aligning your pet’s care to your standards and routines, and of course giving them all my love. My most recent kitty clients have been drop ins off of Rover. Currently I live with 2 cats, and I frequently take over their care when my roommate is out of town. From the ages of 11-18 I took responsibility to care for 4 cats and 1 hyper husky. These days, I don’t have my own furry friend. Let me give yours all the love I have! I work from home full-time with an adjustable schedule! We can easily coordinate something that works best for both of us, with your pet’s care at the forefront. For home visits, I will work directly with you to create standards that best serve your furry friend. I follow care instructions precisely and also make sure to spend abundant time playing or simply giving your pet company!

About: I am a Marine and Army veteran with a passion for dogs. I love all dogs no matter what size they are. I’m a decent sized guy so hyperactive or stronger dogs are no problem for me. The more playful, the better. If your pet loves to run, I’ll run right along with them. If your pet is more inclined to be on the inside, I’ll be right there. I’ll take care of all needs. Please Note: Although I love all pets especially dogs, I’m unfortunately allergic to cats. My most available times are on the weekend but I am also available during the week and can fit almost any time into my schedule. I will provide your pet with all the attention they’ll need plus more. I will be able to take them on walks around your neighborhood, play games with them, feed them, and give them their needed bathroom breaks. The house rules you have established for them will be maintained at all times.

“Karina and Teresa, both came to hang with our pups during Christmas while we took a day trip to visit family. Not only did they come in clutch with accepting the kinda-last-minute holiday need, but they were PERFECT for our dogs. They were super communicative and kind and from the minute they met our dogs, till the moment we got home, our dogs loved them and we knew they were in good hands. I’d say book them immediately, but we also selfishly want them all to ourselves! You can’t go wrong with trusting Karina and Teresa with your babies ❤️”

Wow this is a game changer!!! My dog is 16 and lately it has been difficult leaving him overnight. I was a little hesitant to have a stranger stay overnight with Scruff. But when I met Kayla, all of concerns were squashed. Her and Scruffy immediately hit it off. Kayla is young and energetic, which definitely is a plus. Scruffy needs to get out moving around more 😏. When I reached out during my trip she responded quickly, without overwhelming me. Especially with Scruffy being older he has some quirks. He also can have accidents in the house or gets sick. Kayla reached out to understand if this was concerning. (It wasn't’). I have had friends who have called panicking. This caused me to either leave early or be stressed for the entirety of my trip. Kalya’s laid back and chill personality made me feel even more relaxed and comfortable that I had decided to go with her. When we got home the place looked great and Scruff wasn’t as anxious as he usually is when I get home, which was a relief 😅. Scuffy was happy to see me of course but I can tell he misses Kayla already. Without hesitation I recommend Kayla, to anyone with a pet.

Geordie is a stubborn lovable Corgi who has never been left with a sitter before. Gabriela did wonderfully with him. Primarily, she has an air of responsibility about her and I felt safe to leave. I had been worried about it for weeks. No worries. Geordie was well cared for and I’m very grateful.

Katherine was above and beyond my wildest expectations! I had never left my kittens with a stranger before and was super nervous. She did a meet and greet, sent me regualr updates (and the cutest pics), and made sure my girls were the number one priority. My kittens definitely fell in love with her and her daughter over the course of the week. I can't imagine a better sitter!

Jassmyne took care of our cat (Tati) for a fairly long stretch (2 weeks), and she was fantastic. She was very communicative throughout, sending lots of pictures and updates, and she handled it calmly when Tati came down with a small cold. She also took great care of our house while we were away. Tati clearly liked her. I strongly recommend Jassmyne!
