About: *Rover Tip- use the desktop version for the most accurate quote comparisons. You can search by the type and number of pets, and the type of visit, so that you don't need to do additional math. It will appear pre-calculated in your list of potential sitters.* Dogs and cats are family, and that's exactly how I treat them! With over a decade of experience caring for my own four beloved German Shepherds, I've developed a deep understanding of dogs' both physical needs and emotional wellbeing. I've also trained in Fear Free Happy Homes and Shelters techniques, ensuring that your pet feels safe, happy, and relaxed, under my care. I have an American Health Training certificate in Pet CPR/First Aid, and have cared for multiple pet households as well as senior and special needs pets, and am also a volunteer at the Fresno Animal Center. Before each new booking begins, a complimentary Meet & Greet allows me to learn about your dog or cat's unique personality and routine, so that their experience is seamless and comfortable. Whether your furry family member (hopefully my new pal) prefers active play, gentle companionship, or specialized care, I'm committed to providing personalized attention to meet your pet's individual needs. Planning a longer trip, or away for just a few days? Rest assured, your dog or cat will be in capable, compassionate hands, receiving premium care and plenty of affection. Your peace of mind- and your fur baby's happiness- is my top priority! Reach out today, and let's make sure that your dog or cat enjoys your time away just as much as you do! Put yourself and your pet at ease, and book a Meet & Greet. :) I strive to spend as much time as possible with your pets during house sitting stays! My schedule varies, but pet sitting is my only job. I am looking forward to adding new clients in the Fresno, Clovis, and Madera area. I can also help check your mailbox, put out your trash bins, or water your household plants, as part of the drop-in or house sitting! I am willing to care for small animals besides dogs and cats, and can also house sit for households without pets (rates upon request). And, I am open to a wider service radius to house sit for longer booking durations. I currently do not have pets at home, so I look forward to playing with and helping with other people's pets, whether it be taking them for walks, or taking care of them at your home.

About: I’ve walked, pet-sat, and played with dogs every since I can remember. I’ve done it all for friends, family, neighbors, and anyone who needed it. I am very experienced and I love what I do!! I currently work part-time so I have lots of time to give to your pets. I’m available almost every day at certain times. I’m positive I will be the best person to take care of your pets!! I have a fenced backyard, which is very spacious, as well as two dogs of my own that can provide company to your pets if need be!

About: 🐾 What Sets Me Apart from Other Pet Sitters? (PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING) 1. 🏡 Full Transparency & Welcome Visits: I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. That’s why I welcome you to visit my home before your pet’s stay. You’ll be able to see firsthand where your furry friend will be loved, pampered, and kept safe, giving you complete peace of mind. 2. 🔍 Personalized Attention with Limited Pets: While I have the space to accommodate more, I intentionally limit boarding to just two pets per night. Why? Because your pet deserves undivided attention, a low-stress environment, and personalized care. Every guest is treated like family, never overlooked, always loved. 3. ❤️ Home-Based Care with full Supervision: Since I work from home, your pet will never be left alone. They’ll always be under my attentive eye, which can be especially comforting for pets with separation anxiety. Your pet will feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for, as if they were my own. 4. 📸 High Quality Loving Pet Photos: I believe every pet deserves to be celebrated! You’ll receive beautiful, high-quality photos of your pet just like the ones in my profile. I love capturing their personality and making sure you can see how happy and loved they truly are. 5. ☎️ Open Communication During Business Hours: Have questions or just want to check in? You’re always welcome to call me during business hours. I know how important your pet’s well-being is, and I’m here to provide updates and peace of mind whenever you need it. 6. 🧽 A Pristine Environment Your Pet Deserves: My home is meticulously cleaned and sanitized on a weekly basis to maintain a fresh, odor-free, and hygienic environment for your pet. You can see the level of cleanliness in the photos I’ve shared in my profile. You're always welcome to visit! Just a kind reminder, we do ask guests to remove their shoes upon entering to help keep the space spotless. 7. 🌲 Comfortable and Safe Outdoor Space: The backyard has plenty of shade, thanks to seven beautiful redwood trees, keeping the area cool and comfortable. We never leave dogs unsupervised in the backyard for long periods. Most of the time, they will be indoors where they can stay cool and comfortable with air conditioning. 8. 🚫 No Children, Elderly, or Multiple Pets Living in the Home: My home is calm, quiet, and free of potential stressors for your pet. I do not have young children, elderly family members, or multiple resident dogs or cats. This means fewer distractions, a safer environment, and more focused attention on your pet’s comfort and needs. 9. ⛔️ No pool in the property: I don't have a pool, so there's no risk of accidents, ensuring a safe and worry-free environment! 10. 🏥 Pet Care Policy & Rover Guarantee: In the event I notice any issues or concerns regarding your pet's well-being, I will promptly contact you and Rover. If I am unable to reach you, I reserve the right to seek veterinary care for your pet as necessary. Please note that all bookings made through Rover are protected by Rover Guarantee, which provides coverage of up to $25,000 for eligible veterinary expenses. Pricing Adjustment and Puppy Care Policy Please note that additional fees may apply for boarding or daycare services for large, giant, or puppies under 1 year old. This adjustment reflects our commitment to providing a safe, comfortable, and harmonious environment for all our canine guests. For example, accommodating a giant dog may limit the number of other pets we can host simultaneously, ensuring adequate space and individual attention. Similarly, puppies under 1 year old that are not potty trained require specialized care to support their growth and development. Puppy Care Specialization We understand that puppies need extra attention and tailored care. Unlike other sitters or daycare facilities, we provide frequent potty breaks—every 30 minutes—to keep your puppy comfortable and prevent accidents indoors. Our focus is on supporting your puppy’s potty training journey and helping them develop good habits from the start. Rest assured, your young pup will receive personalized care and attention to ensure a positive experience. If the puppy is crate and potty trained, I can waive this fee. Pricing Breakdown: Small Dogs: No additional charge Medium Dogs: No additional charge Large Dogs: +$20 Giant Dogs: +$100 Puppies under 1 Year (not potty trained): +$125 We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe, harmonious environment where every dog can thrive. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! Here's how my daily routine would look: 🌅 6:00 AM - I'm an early bird! I wake up and take your furry friend for their morning walk 💼 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM - Work starts! I will provide your pet with with regular potty breaks in my backyard throughout the morning 🥪 12:00 PM - Lunch break = walk time! We'll go for a nice midday stroll 🏠 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM - Back to work with continued potty breaks in the backyard as needed 🚶‍♂️ 5:30 PM - If weather allows it, evening walk to wind down the day 🏋️ 6:30 PM - Host will go to the gym, run errands and home This is the same schedule I've maintained with my own dog and it has helped him tremendously with his potty training. He trusts that I will take him out and I trust him that he will wait. Your dog will become part of the family and will be treated with the same love and care! 🐕❤️ 🐣They will be in a safe and secure environment, where no dog will be harmed or distressed by others in the household. I prioritize understanding each dog's behavior by discussing their temperament with clients and taking proactive measures to ensure a calm and harmonious atmosphere. This is why I limit the number of dogs to a maximum of two per night, to maintain individual attention and safety for all pets involved.

“Kaitlyn is so great with my little cattle dog mixie, Nimbus! She was punctual with picking-up my doggo and driving her to the trails for hikes. She even replaced Nimsy's frisbee that got lost on a hike. Kaitlyn is a proven pet sitter / dog hiker / and house sitter that I will continue to use and recommend.”

About: I've had at least one dog in my life since I have been 6 years old. I have 3 years (and counting) of experience caring for a diabetic dog and I also currently assist my family in caring for our elderly dog (an 18 year old deaf dachshund). I am a full time graduate student at Fresno State where I also work as a teaching assistant and a tutor. I am mostly open on weekends depending on my class and work schedule. As I assist in caring for a diabetic dog I have become proficient in giving insulin injections and testing blood-glucose levels. This has also made me proficient at keeping to schedule for when he eats, measuring how much he eats, and making sure he has a supply of continuous supply of water. With the diabetic dog being blind I also have experience in guiding him on walks to ensure his safety as to not harm himself by colliding with any objects or falling. By caring for an elderly deaf dog, I know how to be gentle, patient, and caring to meet her needs and regulate her food as she has strict diet restrictions.

About: What sets me apart is my deep love and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I specialize in both puppy and senior pet care. I’m also highly attentive to each pet’s unique personality, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. You can trust that your furry family member is in great hands! I look forward to hearing from you and taking care of your animals! My weekly schedule is very open! I would prefer something that is more consistent but am open to less frequent as well. Please reach out and we can make something work. I would prefer to watch someone else's pet in their home. It will make your animal less anxious and more relaxed in their own environment.

About: Hi!! I’m Sophie! I’ve had plenty of experience with animals including livestock! From cleaning out horses pens to feeding chicken, pigs, and turkeys! You name it! I’ve also been on the receiving end of that, which would be getting bucked off horses to chased my roosters😂. Unfortunately I have had experience with breaking up dog fights. I am in love with animals! I treat every single one like my own. My goal is to not only provide u with good service, but to make sure your baby is well taken care of and LOVED!! I also understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet with a stranger.If I can help you with providing ease to your mind than I’ve accomplished my job! I am able to work 5 day out of the week! I am not available on Thursday or Fridays unless it’s in the mornings to mid afternoon! I have a fenced property. The fence is not perfect so there is a possibility of dogs getting lose but that chance is low bc I wouldn’t leave your dog unattended. I do have 2 other dogs on my property as well as 2 cats. My daughter as well. If your dog does not do well with infants or other dogs I will have to ask we don’t proceed as I need to maintain my daughter’s safety and your animals!

About: Hi, I'm Anna. I am not your typical dog walker. I have a bachelors degree in animal science, a masters degree in applied animal behavior and welfare and a second masters degree in psychology, so I can handle anything your furbaby can throw at me!

I am here to offer a wide range of services from house sitting, pet sitting, pet training, and pet grooming. I love to work with animals to help them become the best version they can be. I can't wait to serve your family as best I can! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to devote to my true passion: taking care of animals!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple cats with different needs since I was 12. I was in charge of giving them enrichment, cleaning their environment, and making sure every cat got along. I have experience caring for cats who are elderly, kittens, full grown, cats with FIV, and ringworm. I have also had the pleasure of volunteering at the Fresno Bully Rescue where I cleaned dog dishes, walk dogs, clean up after waste, and socialized dogs. I am currently on summer break from school so I have plenty of time to take care, exercise, clean up after your pet, and give them an enriching experience. I care for pets by introducing myself in a calm way to reduce stress and build trust. I clean up after messes to ensure a clean and safe environment, feed pets, and provide enrichment to deter negative behaviors.

About: For the past 8 years, my daughter has been working with a rescue, fostering dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’ve been by her side every step of the way, helping care for each one. Through the years, I’ve gained so much experience and joy being around these amazing pups. They’ve filled our home with love while they wait to find their forever families, and every one of them has left a paw print on our hearts. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine. From morning walks and mealtime to play sessions and cuddles, I make sure every pet feels loved and secure. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a relaxing evening stroll, I prioritize their comfort and happiness just like I would with my own. Caring for animals has become a joyful and meaningful part of my everyday life. When I care for pets in someone’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully and give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Being in their familiar environment helps them feel safe and relaxed, and I do everything I can to make sure they’re comfortable and happy while their family is away.

I’m free on weekends and anytime after 2 pm on weekdays, and I have breaks between classes that allow me to check in on pets for potty breaks, feeding, or a quick play session. I’m committed to fitting pet care seamlessly into my routine to ensure your furry friends get the attention and love they deserve, even on busy days. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets, whether in my home or the client’s. I follow each pet’s individual routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, and medication if needed. I ensure plenty of attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks, and always maintain a clean and secure space. Communication with the pet owner is key, so I provide updates and ask questions to tailor care to each pet’s unique needs.

About: Hi, and thank you for considering me to care for your pets! As someone who treats pets like family, I understand how important it is to find a pet sitter who will give your pets the same love and attention you do.

My goal is to be sure pet parents are able to enjoy their time away knowing their pets are happy, safe and feeling loved.

I am very negotiable with the rates and want to be sure my clients feel they are receiving a fair price for the services provided. I guarantee my services will be provided in a professional and loving way. If you are not happy with my services I be more than happy to provide a discount or refund.

I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to ensure their pets feel safe and secure. Whether it’s for drop-in visits, dog walking, or enrichment activities, I always give pets my full attention, offering affection, playtime, and care tailored to their individual needs. I also ensure the home is left as it was when I arrived, respecting the owner's space and belongings.

“Cynthia extended so much love and care to my dog, Sister, each time she walked her. It was seriously so impressive how much attention she paid to Sister’s behavior. I appreciated the many pics she sent and detailed updates about the walk—really made me feel like my pup was always in good hands. Thank you again Cynthia and also to her sidekick, Jackson !”

“Our dog loves Dalene so much. She had great command over a very strong dog immediately and was able to flex her style with ease to match him. Extremely professional and reliable. We’ll be using her again very soon for overnight care.”
