About: Hi! I'm a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, a former Division I athlete, and an experienced dog and house sitter. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including senior dogs who need extra patience, medication reminders, slower walks, and individualized attention. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and active lifestyle. As a former student-athlete, I'm extremely dependable and understand the importance of consistency and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, comforting environment, I tailor my care to their specific needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and stress-free in your absence. I currently work part-time during the week and have weekends completely free, allowing me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, or overnight stays, I can provide reliable and attentive care while maintaining your pet's normal routine. As a former Division I athlete, I am dependable, responsible, and committed to giving every pet the attention they deserve. I understand that pets are most comfortable in their own home, so I strive to maintain their regular routine and provide personalized care based on their needs. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, or extra attention for senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind.

“Gina was amazing with our family dog, Daisy. While I was away in Florida, Gina took excellent care of Daisy, ensuring her daily feeding and walks. All the while, Gina kept me updated on Daisy's progress. She also took care of some things around the house, which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Gina to watch your dog while you are away on business or on a vacation. I have recommended her to two close friends for their dogs.”

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 typically work weekends from 10:30-5pm so i’m free before and after that. During the week, I am student at college and I can come over after! 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: Hi, I grew up around several different animals of all sizes from rodents/reptiles to livestock/dogs. I have always had at least one dog in my life at all times. The more the merrier. I love all animals big and small. I worked at a kennel where I learned about boarding and training dogs for about a year and I have pet sat for about 15 years in grand total. I currently work at a pet store in Sutter Creek. I love being around dogs and training or even just hanging out and playing. I am a outdoorsy person. I have experience with livestock animals also. Horses, cattle, chickens, Lhamas, mini animals, donkeys. I have references also if you would like them. I work part time so some days I am gone at work. But our 17 year old daughter is always home. We also go to church Sunday morning so we would be gone for a couple hours but otherwise we are always home. I care for pets in my home as I would my own. I have 3 German Shepherds. 10 months to 7 years old. As for in home pet sitting I would follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies already so it would be easier on them.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for animals, along with a strong focus on tailored care for each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets requiring extra patience and support. I'm comfortable with administering medications, following special diets, and sticking to detailed routines to ensure your pet feels safe and happy in your absence. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize reliability and consistency, whether it's early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime and check-ins. I'm flexible and committed to working around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve every single day. Whether it's a short-term visit or long-term care, I make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and comforting as possible. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to create a secure, calm environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to ensure their pet feels safe in a familiar setting. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space that’s fully secured and free of hazards. I supervise interactions, keep a consistent routine, and always provide plenty of love, enrichment, and downtime to help pets feel at ease. I also keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands.

About: I have always taken care of friends/family pets and or housesitting, and started expanding across the community! Am happy to help with whatever task is needed! Currently going to school and am open otherwise! Would love to fill the schedule up to help others out with any pet or house needs! I can very easily work with both dogs and cats, and will always respect one’s home and do whatever is necessary to keep things clean and tidy.

“Kali is great with our pups! She arrived on time and communicated with us daily. Our pups were happy when we arrived home. We will definitely call on her again to stay with Maxx and Missy.”

About: I grew up with beloved household pets, and house sitting and dog walking jobs throughout my schooling. I have done this for cats and dogs alike of all kinds. I'm excited to continue the journey now through this platform and I hope I can be of help to many more in need. As a teacher, I have summers off. There is more time for house and pet sitting during my summers. The rest of the year I would work around my school calendar. I can followed detailed instructions, times for medications, walks, check ins, and feeding. If pet needs to be in a crate, I can proceed with owner preferences.

“Charlene was amazing! She kept in contact with me daily, administered my older kitties meds, checked in with me to make sure I’d be home as expected and embraced one of the cats snuggling and sleeping with her. A true joy and highly recommend!”

“Ayla was a fantastic pet sitter. She took care of our dog Henry and our cat Emily. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and went over and above our expectations. We didn’t have to worry about anything. We could relax on our trip knowing everything was going well with the care of our pets. She took lots of pics and shared them with us several times a day that we were gone. We will definitively use Ayla again. Thanks Ayla!!”

Grisel B.

“Makyela was absolutely amazing! I received regular updates and photos of my girl while I was gone. I really appreciated how comfortable she made my kiddo feel and that made me feel better about leaving. Makyela will be the first person I contact the next time I leave town!”

About: As someone who grew up with dogs, both small and large, I've learned what it takes to make sure the puppies are well cared for, between giving them the right food, making sure they go on walks, and grooming. Our pets are our best friends and so we should take the greatest care of them, and I'm willing to do that for all animals alike. I'm currently a part time worker both on weekends and weekdays and have lots of time to dedicate to taking care of pets. The only time I would not be able to offer my services is dueing weekends. In my home, I have a fenced yard to allow for our big huskies to have space to play and run, offering them toys that I know would keep them entertained. I also make sure to clean my dogs and ensure they eat healthily.

“Magy's stay with Rebecca was fantastic. I really appreciate her flexibility with pick up and drop off times. She's always really laid back and I love that!”

Virginia L.

“This is the first time I left Lucy in 6 years. It was very difficult but I had no choice because my husband passed away and the service was to be in NY. I was afraid Lucy wouldn't eat or go out, but it worked out OK. She warmed up to Linnea and was fine when I came home.”

About: I have had dogs and puppies many times in the past years so I am familiar with the needs of older dogs and puppies. I enjoy walking and taking walks with your dog. I am retired, living in the foothills of Jackson. I can be available to travel to your home, stay in your guest room, and hang out with your pets, or take your small pet at my home. When dogs and I walk I enjoy getting to know the surrounding area. Many times a neighbor will talk to me when we are on our walks! I am retired. Since I am available to travel to your home and stay there with your pets while I enjoy them and the time spent reading and visiting local attractions. Should you wish to use my home for care, I am home a lot while going out for a couple of hours at a time for my social meetings and such. I appreciate that much of the time I spend will be at your home with your pets. If I go out they will be wherever you leave them when you go to work or play. I always make sure they are safe and that I return in time for walks, their next meal and shared evening and sleep routine time.
