âThis was the first time I scheduled Becky to look out after our dog and I was very pleased with how attentive she was to making sure my dog was comfortable and she kept me in the loop with how thing were going. Strongly recommend to others.â

âOscar was amazing with our two cats. They are indoor and outdoor cats so they require a bit more care. He followed all our instructions. On top of that, he made last minute adjustments to our itinerary after I made scheduling issues. We will definitely be booking him again for all our future travels.â

About: A little background on me; I have had 2 dogs in the past 10 years and I have learned a lot from them. I have learned that just like people they all have different personalities. Thanks to them I have met more friends with fur babies. Since, then I have had the pleasure of walking and on occasions boarding all kinds of dogs. Iâm available to play with your pup on weekends and week days after 5. On weekends I typically go on morning hikes to start the day off right. I have a large backyard and an energetic puppy who loves to play. He has free range between the kitchen/dining room area and the backyard.
About: From the age i was born I've always been around dogs and have owned several. As of right now i own 1 and 2 others. I am currently in the process of becoming a CO and would be delighted to take care of your pups part time as i love animals with a passion. I have a wide back yard where i let my dogs run around as well as taking them out for walks. I like to give them at least a couple hours a day of exercise to keep them healthy. As well as treats for good behavior.
About: Iâve been around dogs all my life, both as pets and through dog sitting/walking. I have one shih-tzu who Iâve cared for the past 10 years and also have experience through previously volunteering at the SPCA of Monterey county, working with dogs, cats, and small animals. At the moment, I am currently a part time student in college on Tuesdays and Thursdays and otherwise have open availability. Iâm free to work on other weekdays and weekends anytime in the afternoon or evening. With my experience, I am prepared to take any extra precautions or care when informed by the owners. Iâm open for contact throughout the day while caring for pets.
About: Starting in high school I worked for an adoption center and have worked with animals ever since. From dogsitting, cat sitting, volunteering at the animal shelter, and more, Iâve always enjoyed being involved with animals. My main job is an online fitness coach and so I can work remotely due to that. For that reason Iâm able to work with just about any schedule your animal may have. Iâve worked with elder dogs as well as puppies to help them maintain their usual routine. Iâm also practiced in giving eye drops, medication, and insulin shots through my other pet sitting jobs Iâve done in the past. For me the most important thing is not breaking routine. Iâm a creature of habit myself so I appreciate descriptive texts or notes that way I can help keep your animal in the same pattern as they would be if you were home.
About: Hi, I volunteer my time at the SPCA walking the dogs, cleaning the kennels and feeding them. It helps to enrich their brains so that theyâre more adoptable. Overall Iâm a huge dog person. I work part time and go to school. However I always leave work at 2 and I only have 1 in person class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11- 12:20pm. At the latest I am free after 2 everyday but usually earlier. I have babysat family members dogs in the past and in my scenario I have a spare bedroom, a backyard & thereâs a public park near me. Thankfully for me I have plenty of space to enrich a dog. Where dogs can be exercised, safe and cared for.

My duties include feeding, playing, and walking. I provide undivided attention, security, and unconditional love to your furry family member. I prioritize the owner's guidelines and wishes regarding how I fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I will usually start the day with morning walks and feeding sessions, ensuring each pet gets the exercise and nutrition they need to start their day right. Throughout the day, I schedule playtime and plenty of cuddle breaks to keep them happy and engaged. In the evenings, I do another round of walks, feeding, and any necessary grooming. Balancing my schedule around pet care allows me to give each pet the attention and love they deserve, making sure their needs are met consistently.

About: I grew up on a cattle ranch and have taken care of livestock cats dogs all my life I like animals more than people for sure Iâm a morning person so I like to get out early and feed an exercise and then come back late afternoon early evening to feed again When I bring animals to my house.

âSavannah was wonderful!!! My dogs loved her. They got very excited when she came to meet them and every time she saw them while I was away. She provided videos of them eating and playing.

Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather itâs on a walk or home sitting.
âGabriel and his son Lucas were great with our senior dogs. He kept me updated every visit to ensure we knew how the dogs were doing. Definitely convenient that he was near my home and due to the fact that we actually don't like people wandering in our home, my husband felt comfortable with him watching over our house as he definitely went above our expectations. Will definitely use him again.â

âMichael shows up when he says he will; takes pictures; reports accurately about our dog and makes adjustments when asked. We will definitely have Michael watch Livee again if we need someone and if heâs available.â
