House Sitting in Drytown

“Cheyenne was great! She was really on top of communicating and sent many cute pictures of Bambi while we were away to reassure us that Bambi was being well taken care of. She really went above and beyond. I would definitely book her again!”

“Morgan was an excellent pet sitter for my dog and two cats. She is definitely an animal lover and was able to win over my two shy cats who have hid from other sitters. I felt very secure knowing my animals would be loved and cared for when I was gone. I would highly recommend her services.”

“Brianna did a great job house sitting and watching our two dogs while we were away. She stayed in communication, sent pictures, and helped them feel happy and secure when their parents were away. So very much appreciated!!!!”

About: I have owned a dog for seven years and I have taken care of numerous dogs over the years as well. I can take care of multiple dogs and I love to spend quality time and give them the love that they need. They are truly one of a kind animals and I love the joy that they bring me. I work part time at a fast food restaurant and I will be going to school two days a week starting in the fall, which gives me a lot of free time to dog sit, cat sit and spend overnights with them. I am able to care for pets whether they are outdoor animals or indoor animals. I have taken care of cats who are indoor and dogs who are able to be indoors or outdoors.

“I highly recommend Ian! We have two Frenchies; a 2 year old and a pup who is just two months. It was clear after a night out to celebrate a special occasion that our fur kids had just as much fun and plenty of loving attention.”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I am looking to take on as many hours as possible! I am currently in college, but only have classes Monday and Wednesday and can work around my school schedule. I am unable to bring pets home due to having my own cat and living in an apartment with a single pet deposit! But I am just fine coming to you! I offer dog walking, some behavioral training while pet sitting/walking, in home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!

“Christine provided great care for our pups. She came early, communicated well, and left things clean and tidy. Our pups give her 5 stars.🙂 Highly recommended.”

“Melanie was absolutely the best dog and house sitter. My Bailey loved her, and Melanie took such good care of her. This will make my future trips anxiety free. My house was cleaner than I left it when I got home. She is definitely the very best!!”

About: I love cats and dogs and will make sure they get lots of attention and that their area is kept clean and tidy so you come home to a nice place! I have 4 cats and 2 dogs so very familiar with what to do. Happy to take care of yours or take your pups on a nice walk😊 I work from my phone so can essentially do anything or be anywhere as needed. Works out perfectly for me to go and take care of pets! I will make sure your pets have attention and that their area and the house or apartment is well taken care of and kept clean

About: I have had all types of animals ever since i’ve been alive! This includes horses, cats, dogs, chickens, sheep, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc.! I have a deep love for all animals and know I am a trustworthy and caring animal lover! I am a graduate from Cal Poly SLO that has moved home for a bit. I am trying to make a little money while finding a job and what better way to do that than to spend that time with animals! So, my schedule is very open as I am navigating this shift in my life! As I said above, I have had animals my whole life. As for dogs and cats, I first make sure that they are getting all the love they deserve because their love towards humans are endless. I go on atleast 1 walk a day and feed my dogs twice a day according to their diet. As for my cat, I make sure to give him all the belly rubs and a good morning stretch (he loves it)! While I was in school I helped my boyfriend take care of his two frenchies. My latest pet was a big Bordie Collie, but right now I have a smaller dog and a cat! Therefore, I have taken care of a variety of different dogs. All I want to offer to your animals are the love and care that they deserve!

“Kali was great. She is very easy going. She followed all of our instructions. When we arrived home I could tell Paddy was completely relaxed with her. I give her 5 stars.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I’ve had different kinds of pets growing from chinchillas to hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, turtles, dogs and currently have a 3 furry animals😊 I currently work part time and my schedule varies leaving me with a lot of availability. Please reach out and we can discuss your needs for pet care and make it work😊 I have a fenced yard that is 3 acres for your fur baby to roam freely around the yard and burn lots of energy. I do have 3 kiddos that are good with animals, love to give tons of pets and attention, they are also super respectful and know when to give your pet their space but your pet will be feel right at home. My doggies are on schedules from exercise to meals and I will respect your preferences on care for your pets and follow them to the T.

About: Hi there! I’m Aaralyn and have always been a lifelong animal lover. I would be more than happy to provide the help you need caring for your animals— whether it is just a few hours during the day or for a week! I am here to ensure your animals will be given the best care. To do this I will give your pets daily walks, enrichment activities and promise to treat your animals as if they are my own. I also love keeping you updated with photos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're gone! To let you know a little about me, I am currently a UC Davis student and am looking to spend my time over the summer with some sweet animals! I have plenty of experience with many different animal such dogs, cats, and more. I know how to care for a range of pets as I have cared for senior animals and special needs animals before. I myself have a pup who needs medication every morning and night which come with side effects such as increase in thirst, hunger, and hyperactivity. So, I am well immersed with dogs that may require a little more maintenance. For house sitting, I’d love to meet your animals beforehand so they know who I am first and feel more comfortable when stay in their home for a prolonged period of time. What works best for me is a small yet informational note outlining your pets daily routine— things like when they eat breakfast/lunch/dinner, how much they eat, how often you would like them to be walked, where they go or what they do while I am out of the house, and anything else you feel is necessary. This lets me get an idea of what the animals needs/wants while I am there. This allows me to maintain a comfortable environment for them in hope to reduce any possible stress. For drop in visits: Usually I stay for about an hour and half per drop in visit but if more time is needed or requested that is not a problem! During that time, I will go on walks, engage in different activities with them, and check on food/water too. Also, while I am there if there is any other house maintenance that needs to be done such as skimming the pool or checking the mail let me know! I am happy to however I can. Overall, I hope to hear from you and meet all your pets soon! This summer, I do plan on working, likely part-time, so I will have lots of time to spend time with your animals and taking them on walks or other ways to exert energy! To keep the animals as comfortable as possible with a new person in their home I try to stick to a similar routine that they are used to.

About: I have extensive background in animal care and behavior, I have worked as a vet tech and started my own non-profit for special needs cats and kittens in 2009. I have been in the animal welfare field for 26 years. There are 10 fenced acres and 2.5 acres fenced within that is all grass for the pups to play on! I am home the majority of the day, all week and can provide a fun and enjoyable time while you are away. I want you to feel comfortable boarding your companion, so there is no extra charge for special needs, particular preferences, etc.- this is a customized experience. Your pet companion will be cared for and entertained the entire time! Your beloved pets will be watched 24/7 (brief errands do arise). They will have stimulation, play, and comfy couches or beds to sleep on when rest is needed. Your pets will be treated like part of our family. I do have a standing client where I care for their dogs in the mornings, so if needed, that can be worked around, but generally early mornings are difficult to offer during the week. Weekends are open. I have a fenced yard, with 2.5 acres available to run and play. I have friendly dogs that enjoy other dogs if they want to play. I have seperate areas if your dog prefers to be alone. The seperate areas are located inside with temperature control, or if they prefer outside, there are dog runs.

About: I have 10yrs experience and a ton of love and time for your four legged family member. I am a stay at home mother of three and this is something i am doing for myself as spending time with animals always makes my day a little better (aka: brings back some sanity). I am open minded, prepared, and completely aware that all dogs have their own personalities, issues, and temperaments... i absolutely have all of the patience and love in the world for your crazy hyper puppy, your angry old man, and all that fall in between. I am flexable and here to make your life easier and less stressful as you go off to work, on relaxing vactions, and especially for those last minute family emergencies. Above all, i am here for your four legged friends' happiness and well being... as life happens to you ❤ Thank you for your time. I hope to meet you soon. -Chelsea

About: Since 13, I helped with taking care of 2 Great Danes from puppy to senior. From walks, feeding, and training plus tons of vet visits and zoomies I’m only working weekends from 10:30-5pm so i’m free after that and during the week at any time! We can figure it out together :) I am a firm believer in never hitting (obviously) dogs or cats and I use positive reinforcement with my cat instead and would implement that into daily routine

About: I have been around breeds of all kinda. I have even taken care of a neighbor 3 dogs. They had a basset hound, boxer and an american bull dog. I love being around animals. It will be able to work with me and be able to be home for my daughter when she gets home from school. She loves dogs and cats. I will be able to care for the fur baby or babies in the client's home while they are away on vacation or just out of town for a few days. I will be able to stop by and check on them. take on walks, feed and water.
