“A very nice girl who tried her best to nurture and console my not very willing dogs. 😄 she did a great job and sent lots of videos and messages to keep me up to date with how they were doing… they loved her and had fun playing with her two sweet dogs. I definitely recommend her!”


“My two large dogs spent a night with Leora and she did a great job looking over them. She also took the time to do a meet and greet with the dogs prior to confirming the booking. Great experience!”

Alayna is incredibly considerate and maintained clear, consistent communication throughout the entire process. Her warm and attentive approach gave us peace of mind and made Bristol’s stay truly comfortable.”


About: Hello there, I take caring exceptional care of animals seriously. I made it my whole job lol! I am attuned to ensuring every animal is taken care of emotionally, mentally and physically. I have 13 years of experience in both Western and Eastern medicine for large and small animals. I know how important it is to make sure your animal is having the best time with their sitter and that they look forward to it! I am an animal communicator and facilitate quantum energy healing sessions for animals as my life purpose. My schedule is flexible. Taking care of my animals is my daily life. I have managed ranches with dog care, horse boarding and a therapeutic equine program for children. Years later I am still living my passion for keeping animals happy and healthy. Walks: I provide the best walks for pups around their neighborhood. If your pup enjoys a sweet pal, I have my trustworthy and gentle dog Gracie to them to bond with! Day Care: Your animal enjoys spending quality time with an empathetic care taker and fun walks with Gracie. For kitties: Your cat will have a safe and fun place to adventure around while receiving lots of love!

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid — I grew up with both cats and dogs, so understanding animal behavior has always come naturally to me. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I work from home, which means I can offer full-time companionship and stay attentive to your pet’s needs throughout the day. Whether it’s a senior pet who needs patience and a slower pace, or a playful pup who needs gentle engagement and stimulation, I’m great at reading their body language and adjusting accordingly. I believe in respecting each pet’s personality and preferences — whether that means active playtime or simply being a calm presence nearby. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away💕 I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. Here’s what a typical day looks like: In the morning, I take them out for a nice walk right after I wake up — usually to the park where they can get some exercise and sniff around. After we get back, it’s breakfast time and a bit of rest. In the afternoon, I usually take a break from work to play games with them — whether it’s fetch indoors or a quick outing if the weather allows (though it’s been pretty hot lately, so I always make sure it’s safe and comfortable). In the early evening, around 7 or 8 when it cools down, we go out again for another walk or potty break. After that, it’s time for dinner and winding down for the night. I always make sure they’re well-exercised, well-fed, and feeling loved before bedtime. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I live in a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with a large living room, which allows me to accommodate pets in various ways based on their needs. If a dog requires a crate, I can easily set one up in either a bedroom or the living room. If they prefer not to be crated, they have the freedom to roam throughout the entire apartment safely. I ensure the space is clean, secure, and pet-friendly at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and environment, following any specific instructions they provide to maintain consistency and comfort for the pet. Special accommodations can also be made for pets with unique needs. I’m happy to provide a quiet, low-stimulation space for shy cats or anxious animals, extra comfort and support for senior dogs, or a more active and engaging environment for energetic puppies. I tailor my care based on each pet’s personality and preferences to help them feel relaxed and at home.

About: I am back!! I was taking a year off to focus on my current job employment that I am returning :) Animals are truly a human's best friend. When I received my first dog, Barkley, I truly understood what that meant. He was my world, my best friend. I would do anything and everything for him, even sneak a piece of banana for him for being cute. One of Barkley's favorite things to do was being outside and walking. He taught me so much about myself, that I would love to share Barkley's and my passion for dog-sitting for other dogs and cats in our community. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved being surrounded by animals: teaching them new tricks, going on walks, or simply snuggling up on the couch. When I was younger, I would love to read dog training books and teach my family dogs simple tricks. As I have gotten older, neighbors and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and stay overnight with their animals. I would play with each dog, go on long walks, and even give the occasional ear scratches. I am also a volunteer at the SPCA kitten nursery for about three and a half years now. Most of my experience has been working with younger cats, ranging from 2-20 weeks. With the experience that I have had with my dog and previous clients, I can understand a pets' body language and behavior. I know that a stranger coming to any animal's home can be scary for some of them to understand. I want every pet to feel comfortable, so I will take my time to make any animal feel that they can trust me. I typically like to listen from my client on how their animal handles strangers, that way, I can make the best plan of action to make them comfortable. I make sure to make time for each animal that I am taking care for. If I see that I can't take care of an animal due to my schedule, I will make sure to let you know. I will always communicate with my clients about my schedule if something changes and what my availability looks like. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to taking care of your animal. I am spatially aware of my surroundings, and always make sure that where I am going or doing is going to be safe for the animal. Before I leave for walks, I make sure that I create a plan for where I am walking and the safest spots are to walk. I always make sure I have my checklist of everything that I need for the walk or need to do while I am at your home. I am also very communicative and responsible when it comes to the instructions, requests, and tasks that my clients have given me.

“Coryn took GREAT care of my kitty for the week. I couldn't be happier with the care he received. Daily image updates and quick to respond. I will be a repeat customer should I need the service again. 😊”


“Ann was great! She responded to a last minute request and was very communicative about our pup the entire time we had to be away. I can tell that she genuinely loves animals and give them love and attention like they are her own.”


“Our pet was very happy with Jessica. Usually he stops eating when he is away but this time he ate and seemed so happy and relaxed. Jessica is very experienced and handled him very well. She also gave us regular updates and very responsive to any queries. We will definitely use her help next time.”


“Achara took care of my little man for a couple days when I went out of town. She sent me updates throughout his stay, with pictures. It seemed like he had a great stay with her family and their dogs. I appreciate everything Achara did for me and the little pup!”

“Sunny was amazing! I left my dog at her place for five days, and she took such great care of her. I could tell she was happy and comfortable. I’m really grateful and would definitely trust Sunny again!”


About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles! Old or young I’ve done it all! Grooming, medication, no worries for me! During my time in the military I also had training with military K-9’s! So if you have a slightly more aggressive dog that may worry you for scheduling a pet sitter, I’m your guy! M-W-F (Overnight or late Evening) T-Th (Late Evening) Sat-Sun (Anytime) Please do let me at least 1-Day in advance prior to cancellation for adjustments, Thanks! I have a completely closed off section that my little babies have for their own pleasure and comfort, no interactions between them and your pet!


“Megan and her family were absolutely fantastic with Shay over the weekend! I really appreciated how communicative Megan was, sending regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. It's clear they treated Shay like one of their own, and I could tell Shay was happy and well-cared for. I plan to rebook with Megan for my next trip – highly recommend!”


“I’d give Karolina 6 stars if I could! The whole process from meet and greet to the end of our trip went very well. She kept us updated with pictures while we were gone. Most importantly, our dog is happy and healthy and was well loved.”


About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Raised on a farm and on a pre-vet track from a young age, I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds—from house pets to livestock to wildlife. Starting at 14, I volunteered in local vet clinics and wildlife rehab centers, gaining hands-on experience with everything from cats and dogs to peacocks, horses, goats, snakes, fish, birds, and cattle. At UC Davis, I deepened my care skills while working at the world-renowned Vet Hospital, tending to cats and dogs during the swing shift. I also worked with campus goats, pigs, sheep, fish, cattle, and horses—and even fostered cats for the hospital. Now in my 30s, I’m an education professional and dedicated pet mom to both cats and dogs. I continue to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets with the same compassion, attention, and responsibility that’s guided me my whole life. I’m certified in Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid, and have emergency care experience with animals large and small. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always communicate clearly—your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm currently taking a break from teaching, and being a full-time stay-at-home mama to my 2.5 year old daughter. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. Please note that at this time, we are seeking families whose pets are comfortable around toddlers and children. I have a fully fenced yard, and a park just around the corner from my house for those whose furry friends enjoy a stretch, walk, or playtime! I am comfortable using a crate, and we have plenty of floor room in the house (carpet and laminate) for them to lay down if they're not crate trained. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Cats are allowed to wander the house. We are more than happy to put up child gates to keep your furry family member in certain areas of the house if they're prone to getting into things (such as stuffed animals for the kiddos... I mean really, a lot of doggie toys these days look so similar! I'd understand the misconception. lol) We're not afraid to be firm but kind if your family member needs set boundaries.

“Repeat client here! Carey is reliable and communicative. We don’t have to worry when we leave our two rescue pups with her. She always does a great job and we highly recommend her. Thanks Carey! -E&T”
