About: Some of my earliest memories are of taking care of Queensland Heeler puppies in my outdoor playhouse. My parents were breeders & ever since then I’ve had a very special connection to dogs! I have taken care of many different types of furry friends from puppies to seniors, from chihuahuas to Belgian Malinois. I have also fostered rescues in my home from time to time. All while having two dogs myself! Looking to build a relationship with a few clients who need their pups walked daily/ boarded while they are away at work or vacation. I am a new stay at home mom so my schedule is very open & flexible! I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet and mine to run and play! I can also provide a crate in a spare bedroom for your pet if they need their own space. I am also very big on walks, me and my dogs go on a walk everyday! Plenty of treats & pets will be provided as well as updates & photos to you!
“Morgan is wonderful! We have used her services several times and will continue as needed. She is punctual, communicative and does very well with our strong-willed and strong puppy (just over a year). I wouldn't hesitate recommending her to others. Thank you, Morgan!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life—everything from Pomeranians and Shih Tzus to Rottweilers and Great Pyrenees—and I’m a cat person, too! I’m now based in Nevada City with my Shih Tzu, Radio, and would love to continue building connections in the community. I work remotely for a professional pet sitting company in Nashville, TN, where I also serve as the Event Manager for Rescue Puppy Yoga. Previously, I was part of the team at The Farmer’s Dog, where I gained extensive knowledge about canine health and nutrition. While my primary role is administrative and remote, I regularly provide dog walking and pet sitting services in Nashville as well. I’m Pet CPR certified and hold multiple FetchFind certifications. I’ve been working in the pet industry for as long as I can remember, starting as a dog walker and pet sitter in my early teens. Over the years, I’ve built my client base through both word of mouth and professional pet care companies, gaining well-rounded experience and a deep commitment to quality care. Pet care is all I do! My small dog Radio just has to fit into that routine as well if house sitting. I have 24/7 availability unless I am booked. I’m available to care for your pet for as much as you need given the scope of each service. While highly unlikely, the longest I would allow a pet to be alone is 4 hours when pet sitting.
About: Been a proud owner of goats, cats, chickens, reptiles and dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with and cared for livestock and house pets. I am currently working full time as a CNA, my schedule is kinda wacky. I work PM shifts from 2:30pm-10:30pm, on a four on and two off rotation. In my own home I have reptiles and two cats, sometimes we do have a dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.
“Natalie is kind, consistent and reliable. We’ve been very lucky to have her skillful, calm, presence assisting with daily walks and positive reinforcement training for our high energy pup, Kai.”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I have worked at two animal shelters caring for all kinds of dogs with many different temperaments. I have a wonderful 8 year old dog that I got as a puppy. I took him to training classes and socialized him so I have a lot of experience in this realm. I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving environment for the animals in our lives. I'm currently in grad school at UVa and have more flexibility right now. I can be over early and stay late depending on your proximity. I am currently only accepting requests in the pets own home, so I trust the pet owners to provide me with the information I need to make sure your pet is safe and happy at home. Do they have special toys they like to play with? Treat and trick time? A special walk route? You let me know what makes your dog happiest and I will stick to that!
About: I have a unique background with horses, farm animals, and dogs that want to walk all day in the forest. I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life. I have fostered kittens, boarded cats, and stayed with dogs up to 200 pounds. I am available overnight for weekends, nights, and extended periods between Nevada County and Placer County. I usually stay a week or more with fur babies. You can relax knowing I am keeping the utmost care and safety of your animals and home. I want to clarify during our visit if you need care at the 2-hour, 4-hour, or 6-hour interval beyond the overnight stay of 7 pm to 7am. I am currently available most days and nights due to my online graduate program. Communication is key! I will send daily pictures or updates. For best prevention, talking about the details with the owner and ground rules produces the best results. Topics will include where the pet feels most comfortable such a calm spaces or crating procedures. I make sure to go over emergency contacts and preferred clinics. Also, I keep a clean environment that ensures the safety of pets for food handling.
About: I have taken care of various dogs through the years. All sizes and ages. Usually love to take them on long walks and hikes around my neighborhood. I’m available to walk in the morning and afternoon. I am also available to take in pets for an over weekend or in home care. I like to walk dogs as often as I can or on very long walks. I have a pretty spacious apartment so they can run around. I have a cat who is very friendly with other dogs.
“Shannon was amazing with my shy pup, showing great patience and taking the time to earn her trust. She also did a fantastic job meeting my puppy’s high energy needs, making sure she got plenty of exercise. It’s clear Shannon really understands dogs, and I couldn’t be happier with the care provided. Highly recommend!”

About: I know it is not easy to leave your dog in someone else’s care. As a dog parent of 15 years, I want owners to feel confident that their dog is safe, comfortable, and well looked after with me. I am certified in Pet First Aid and have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, from puppies to seniors. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and low-stress. Whether your dog loves long sniff walks, needs steady exercise, or does better with a slower pace, I tailor each visit to fit their needs. You will receive photo and video updates after each walk or visit so you know how your dog is doing. I would be glad to become a consistent, reliable part of your dog’s routine and am happy to arrange recurring walks or visits. I also have experience fostering and volunteering with dog rescue organizations, which has given me experience with many different temperaments and care needs. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, and my schedule is flexible, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I recently completed my graduate degree in public health, so I am available to provide dependable, consistent care. When I care for dogs in their home, I try to keep things as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow your dog’s usual routine for walks, meals, play, rest, and any medications so they feel secure while you are away. I pay close attention to safety at home and on walks, including keeping dogs away from food or objects they should not get into and being mindful of their surroundings. I also let dogs warm up at their own pace and pay attention to their comfort level, personality, and energy.
About: Hi! My name is Ella. I love all animals. I am a Cal Poly Pomona Graduate with a BS in Apparel Production as well as I have my 200hr Yoga Certification. I had two Labradors growing up. I am very good with training and using treats for techniques/training etiquette. I love going on walks, but miss having a walking buddy. I am originally from Northern California but have been in Southern California for 7 years. Well-trained animals preferably, with commands:). I love all dogs, big and small, young or old. Your dog will love me. Please let me know if they have any allergies, or any special toys/ harnesses as well. Can’t wait to meet your pup and you. I am very sociable as well! Feel free to ask questions! I can also transport myself or your pup when needed. I have a three-year-old cat named Phoenix. He likes to be brushed and gets treats of course before the brushing 3/4 times a week! I think hygiene is very important when living with animals. We are still working on Phoenix's leash comfortability. But I am willing to fit walks with your dogs into my daily routine if you will have me! I have been missing walking, playing, training, and giving dogs treats ever since becoming a cat mom. I am a very organized and clean person. I vacuum twice a week or more with having a cat, and a rug that he loves to play on. I clean Phoenix's water and food bowls twice a week or more so as to not have any build-up or potential for mold/fungus/bugs. Cleaning his litter box every couple of days is a necessity for me as well as disinfecting the box every other week or more, depending on the week :).
About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.
About: Hi! I grew up with corgis and absolutely love dogs. My home doesn't allow pets and I miss having time with puppers, and would love a chance to hang out with your dog while helping you out! I often house sit and dog sit for my friends when they are away on vacation. That's my friend's Samoyed in my photo! She and I spend lots of time together. I've house sat for a few days up to 2 weeks. I am responsible, professional and clean. I promise to take care of your dog as if it were my own. My family corgis -- Sneaky, Gus, Chrissy and Snickers would tell you that if they could! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I was laid off due to the pandemic which means I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I am available during the week. I will follow any pet care instructions you give me. On walks I will let your dog stop and smell everything if they want. For drop ins I’m happy to provide play time and cuddles along with any other needs of your pet.
About: I have had taken care of many of my own personal pets and family pets. I have gone over to feed them and watch over them while the owners are out of town and also been in charge of giving them their medicine. I love dogs and I like playing with them. I see them as people too so I like talking to them and making a new friend. I am available most of the time since I only have a part-time job. Also, I can wake up earlier or sleep later in order to feed the need of the pet and the owner. Love running and walking, very active your dog will love it : ) book a walk now with me , thanks
