About: Hi there! I have a degree in animal science from UC Davis circa 2023 and I'm now back to complete my Master's of Public Health -- and hopefully take care of your fur baby. I've worked as an animal welfare consultant for UCSF, as a vet assistant for vet clinics and animal shelters across Yolo County, and completed an internship at Oakland Zoo followed by some time as an educator for young kids on how to care for exotic animals. Beyond that, I have my family's own three babies: Biscuit (16 year old dog), Mooncake (5 year old cat), and Misu (1 year old cat). I'm happy to chat with you about your baby's specialized care, whether that means medication administration or extra slow walks before the Davis heat sets in. I am currently in grad school so my schedule is flexible, but I live close to campus so I can always come home to check on the babies. I always treat others' homes with the best respect I can give. My job is not only to take care of your pet to the best of my abilities but to take care of the environment they live in.

“Alyson was amazing with my 2 kitties! She asked great questions during the meet and greet that I didn’t even think of like whether I needed any plants watered and if she needed to adjust the thermostat at all. There were some technical difficulties with my reptile enclosure and she was so helpful in figuring it out while I was away. As for my kitties, they seemed very content when we returned from our trip so I know she cared for them well and I sooo appreciated the daily update pictures. I highly recommend her and would definitely book her again. Thanks Alyson :)”
About: I've cared for many pets since I was 8 yrs old. I earn pets trust easily & will care for them like they are my own. I've done multiple overnights with pets & the owners keep asking for me back. I have a dog of my own for 9 years, which I had potty trained him in a month, and he is versed in multiple commands. I have worked with puppies to senior dogs and the same for kittens to senior cats. I have also taken care of multiple pets with special needs and/or requirements that were met really well according to their owners. Lastly, I love photography and am pretty decent with capturing photos of pets. I have a pretty open schedule. I can make multiple trips over or stay over depending on the needs required. I understand the need for constant potty breaks throughout the day and have much experience with walking a dog. I will care for your pet like it is my own with love, intentially, compassion, and trust. I will make individual time for each pet providing love, care, and affection based on the level the client and pet are comfortable with. I would like to set up a meeting with the owner/s and pet/s in person to get a better idea of what is being asked of me and get to know everyone involved especially your pet/s first before I can agree to care and services. This gives me a better idea if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for and provide extra attention to. Also if there is specific routines you have in place for your pet/s that I can try to learn and follow to provide the best experience for your pet/pets, while giving the owner/s peace of mind while they are gone. I am a hard-worker and detail-oriented. I strive to complete every task required of me and am respectful of other's space, home, and belongs. My general practice is to try to keep a place neat and tidy, by clean up after myself, and after a pet/s, such as picking up dog poop and will also consider cleaning up puke.

“I’ve had the pleasure of trusting Mia H. to care for my three dogs, and I can honestly say she is one of the most loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitters I’ve ever met.

Liv has experience not only with dogs and cats, but also with other domestic animals such as chickens. In addition, she has a degree in Animal Science and has excellent knowledge of how to ensure the welfare of animals she cares for, including their physical health and mental stimulation.

She is an amazing person and would do an awesome job taking care of people's pets.”
