About: I have been trusted by many to care for their pets when life gets a little too busy. I go to their home to feed, spend time with & play with their dogs or cats. I absolutely love animals (probably a little more than I like people lol). I understand the importance of giving your pets the attention and care they need. I’d be happy to help you with your pet care needs in anyway! My goal is to create an stress-free experience for you and your fur babies when it comes to their care & safety. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, I like to keep busy. Pet sitting is the perfect job for me, also something I enjoy doing. Unfortunately I am not able to care for pets in my home, I have 2 dogs. My lease agreement states I cannot have more pets than that.

About: I've always loved taking care of animals. When I was little I had big plans of having a shelter for dogs, cats and horses. I had even planned out the cost. Two neighborhood cats took shelter in our home and garage had three litters with us, that had further sparked my young passion for pet care. Later in life I had taken care of neighbors and families pets. I also worked with and assisted a woman with a dog grooming service (and the occasional cat) which taught me a lot more about animal temperament and handling. I adore animals and would be honored to give your fuzzy friends my best care! I work part time at TJ Max I get my work schedule a week ahead and normally im scheduled for 1 to 2 days for 4 hour shifts. If I were to pet sit for you I would only need be away for 5 hours at a time if I'm shecduled (considering drive time). I am starting school this fall working toward becoming a nurse, so being able to work with animals in the meantime is a blessing. Through the week I care for my cat and my aunts dog. my kitty gets soup time nightly (wet food) and my aunts dog takes two walks a day. In my experience every animal has their own routine they need to feel comfortable, and I am happy to learn and apply it to give the best care possible!

Alyssa is great and handles our Samson really well! She is on time and walks our dog for most of the drop in, letting out energy while our family is out of the house. Samson comes back happy and content.

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands on experience caring for friends’ and family dogs, as well as my own, using positive reinforcement at home. On walks, I focus on gentle, calm structure, making sure gear fits comfortably, reinforcing polite leash manners, and (if you’d like) practicing simple cues like “sit,” “wait,” and “leave it.” I’m patient with excited dogs and extra gentle with nervous pups, always prioritizing safety and giving plenty of space from other dogs and people when needed. Dogs who need extra space on leash are welcome, I’m comfortable with mild–moderate reactivity and I work at the dog’s comfort level using distance, calm handling, and positive reinforcement. You’ll get photo updates + a quick walk recap each visit, and meet & greets are always welcome. I’m available for dog walks Monday through Saturday, with flexible time blocks from morning to evening (6am–10pm). Sundays are my off day. I’m happy to work with one-time walks, weekly routines, and recurring midday potty breaks—whatever keeps your pup happiest and most consistent. Safety comes first on every walk. I double-check harness/collar fit, use secure leash handling, and stay alert to surroundings. I avoid on-leash greetings unless you request them, give dogs space from triggers, and keep walks calm and positive. I’ll follow your routine closely and send photo updates each visit.

About: What distinguishes me as a dog sitter is the perfect blend of experience, genuine love for dogs, and a commitment to tailored care. I prioritize individual needs, creating a personalized and comfortable environment for each furry friend. Your dog's well-being is not just a duty but a love I bring to every wagging tail. My reliability as a pet sitter stems from a combination of experience and genuine care. With a lifelong connection to animals and a proven track record in pet sitting for friends and family, my dedication ensures a secure and loving environment for pets. Consistency, attention to detail, and a heartfelt passion for animals is what makes me who I am as a pet sitter! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently work part-time while completing nursing school fully online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This flexibility allows me to work with your pet’s normal routine and provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I’m able to maintain feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and all the little routines that help pets feel comfortable and secure. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love and am passionate about, and I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own. My clean and spacious apartment, coupled with a yard, creates an ideal pet haven. With a clutter-free environment, pets can navigate freely and safely. The yard offers a designated space for outdoor play and exploration. Regular cleaning routines ensure a hygienic setting.

About: I used to dog sit/cat sit and house sit for my sister constantly when I lived in North Dakota. I also had two wiener dogs growing up and have always been around animals. I had two pet rats for 3 years also and now have had a dog of my own for 3 and a half years. Hi, my name is Lex, and I work as a PE paraprofessional for Ceres Unified School District. During the school year, I work with students and enjoy being active, patient, and dependable. Since I have summers off, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, I will make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I always strive to maintain those routines as closely as possible. Safety is my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and energy levels, and I believe in using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention while in my care.

About: I've been a frequent pet sitter since I was in Junior High, as well as always taking care of my own I'd often take care of my grandparents, uncles, and friends. I work part-time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and live with family so they'll be taken care of when I'm not around :) I live in a gated home with a large backyard for your pet to roam free in :) I also have two different sized crates available if needed.

Margerita was great! She is clearly an animal lover! She was on time, took clear pictures of my two senior boys when they ate, and cleaned the cat box just like I requested (it fills up too fast to skip it, because kidney disease). She spent time hanging out so they got the human interaction that these two social cats crave. She has a very friendly and polite demeanor, and a flexible schedule that made it easy to come by at the times I needed her. I would hire her again!

About: I have had pets all my life, caring for pregnant mama cats and dogs, as well as their babies. I own 2 small dogs myself who are very friendly and calm. I am flexible to whatever you need and require. I work part time as a substitute teacher. I choose the days I want to work, so I can be available to you majority of the time with 24 hours notice. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced in yard, with space to run around in the back yard. I will likely keep your pet indoors most of the time, and can take them out for walks, the dog park and outside in the backyard to run and play.

Very reliable. We always ask for Teresa because we know that our fur babies will be in great hands when we are gone. We highly recommend her for drop-in visits. We have been using her for at least 3 years. Thanks Teresa!

Leslie is truly phenomenal. She goes far beyond basic house sitting, and the cats absolutely adore her. She keeps me updated on everything happening at the house, from dealing with ants to bringing in the garbage cans. The best part is her daily updates with commentary and photos, which I genuinely look forward to every morning.

Naomi is the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) pet sitter! I’ve run out of words to describe how wonderful she is. Naomi is, quite simply, the gold standard of pet care. She has been watching my two cat's Lucius and Batrice, and her level of dedication is unmatched. She is professional, highly communicative, and incredibly caring. It’s such a relief to know that while we’re away, our pets are not only safe but genuinely happy and loved. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable and goes the extra mile every single time, Naomi is the one!
