“Jody was amazing attending to Simba’s care details including feeding and medication schedules. She also gave Simba the extra attention and love that put me at ease knowing Simba was getting the very best care. I will definitely contract her for future sitting for Simba!”


2. Sequoia Hope K.

“I can’t say how much I’m grateful for Sequoia! She’s always reliable and dependable and above all delivers great service! My Lola loves her and takes care of all her needs and gives me piece of mind when I have to leave town for business. Thanks Sequoia for excellent work!”


3. Jocelyn S.

“Jocelyn was wonderful...great communication, very professional and confident. She did a full week of two-a-day visits and was amazingly right on schedule every time. She developed quick rapport with our older dog who can sometimes be quite nervous and fearful of strangers. Lots of pets and love...what else could we (or our dog) ask for. Would definitely contact Jocelyn again.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Grace as a pet caretaker! She has been absolutely amazing with my two dogs, showing them so much love, attention, and care. It is clear that Grace genuinely cares about animals and has a natural gift for connecting with them. My dogs always get super excited to see her, and I can rest easy knowing they’re in such great hands when I’m away. She does an amazing job especially with my dog who has had many surgeries and needs extra care and attention. She’s reliable and responsible always making sure my dogs are happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Grace to anyone in need of a pet caretaker!”


7. Danielle D.
“Danielle is great! She has been house sitting for us for years, she truly makes leaving our fur babies so easy because we know they're in such good hands. She goes out of her way to make sure they feel loved and are well taken care of. She even sends us pictures of our fur babies while they're outside playing so we can see that they're okay. She's not afraid to call or text us if something feels off with one of the dogs either which shows just how much time she pays attention to the animal to notice those small things.”


8. Kiara G.
“I am thrilled to share my experience with Kiara as a dog sitter for my beloved dog, Barry. From the moment we met, it was clear that Kiara is incredibly responsible and trustworthy. She not only took excellent care of Barry but treated him as if he were her own. Her genuine love and affection for Barry were evident, and it was this bond that made me feel completely at ease leaving him in her care. Kiara's dedication and attention to detail ensured that Barry was always happy and well-cared for. Her professionalism and compassion are truly commendable, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter.”

“I can't say enough great things about Mikayla and the care she provides for my two dogs. Like many pet owners, my dogs mean the world to me and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Mikayla cares for my dogs as if they were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. I highly recommend Mikayla to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”


11. Gloria S.
About: I have taken care of dogs since the moment I started babysitting my younger cousins. Most of my family members have a pet at home, usually a dog, and while babysitting my cousins was one task, it also included taking well care of their pets and including them in our daily activities. I am a trustworthy and reliable person in academics and work environments, I am someone that people usually come up to with important tasks because they know it will get done. I have had 4 pets before, all of them adopted, well cared and loved for. I also recently carried the responsibility of taking care of my close friend's cat for 6 months, he is a year-old cat that at the time was still learning how to behave even with the change of setting. He is now back with his owner, but every time I visit him, he still approches me with love. I am currently a Chico State full-time student, but I always have some time to meet your beautiful pets. I am hoping that my available schedule could work with yours. I would prefer to keep your pet on environments that they know, like their home. When it comes to walking the pet, I know many different pet-friendly trails and parks locally that they would love to enjoy. I have my personal vehicle so it would be easy to transport needed.


12. Tylyn B.

“Tylyn was the best pet sitter we could have asked for! We were nervous to hire someone but she came highly referred and did not disappoint! She took care of all four of our fur babies in a timely and caring manner and even sent pictures and videos throughout. We will absolutely book with her again!”
