“Stacey accommodated my inquiry the very last minute, early AM, on a weekend. She was able to also pick her up and drop off when the weather was not ideal for driving. Happy had a fun stay with lots of pictures provided along the way. The pup returned with a little gift from Stacey :) I appreciate the care given to my dog. Repeated customer here! Thanks, Stacey!”

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

About: Your dog's favorite activities and indulgences will be paramount when in my fun-loving care. Your dog will feel happy, playful, relaxed and will be like family in his/her home or home away from home. Upon meeting me at your home, my home or a neutral site, you will easily sense that I'm a genuinely good, decent man, a loving "dog person" and that I'll treat your dog with the attentive love I treat my own dog. I know from experience, that gaining a loving and reliable sitter is hard to find and provides peace-of-mind security. Your dog will enjoy his/her/their time with me and will be safe with me. Walks, exhausting activities and belly rubs INCLUDED! Text messages with video and photos of your dog and live webcam INCLUDED! Please contact me so we may schedule a meet and greet. I work full time from my home office, so your pup will enjoy lasting attention. I work a part-time gig that takes me away from home for a few hours per week. If pets are introduced into my home, I gently take lead and show the dogs how to be comfortable and adjust. If I am introduced into a pets' home, we allow a meet and greet specific to your dogs' needs. Then, we tour your home so that you may convey instructions.

“Emily, Kai and her son are amazing. This was Rusty's second stay, the first being a one night stay. This second stay was for 7 nights. We picked him up yesterday, and he's been moping around all day. Probably tired from all the fun, but possibly missing what he thought was his new home! Emily's dog Kai is a great "ambassador" for new friends. Rusty and Kai bonded immediately and had a great time playing. Emily kept us updated with pictures and texts, it was nice knowing we had nothing to worry about as he was in great care. We (including Rusty) look forward to having Emily take care of Rusty the next time we leave town.”

About: Willing to take care of most any dogs of all shapes and sizes, while watching your home. I love all animals but am most fond of dogs :) Although I grew up with cats, I am not generally a cat person unless they are super chill/nice. My grandparents owned a pet store in Alameda when I was younger called "The Living Picture" and I had to feed/water all the animals, so I do have the experience, but I'd say more recently it's just been dogs and the occasional cat. Just let me know what you have, and I'll let you know my comfort level. :) I am willing to travel outside of my area (Dorrington/Big Trees) for pet sitting but would like to keep dog walking and drop-ins to my general area of Big Trees/Arnold/Murphys. If you do not live in those areas, then it would be a 1 hour minimum for all walking & drop-in services. I'm currently available full-time for pet/house sitting so I will be able to give both your beloved animal(s) and your home my full attention (as long as I'm not booked)! I will keep my calendar up to date so you can rely on what it says. While pet/house sitting I will walk and play with your fur-baby(s) as much as they like or can handle. I will also send photos to you on a daily basis! I am willing to do other things like pick up dog poop in your yard (if that is where they go), bring in mail, water plants, etc. My rates are set for everyday animals and not 'special needs', so if your doggie or cat needs special attention or has behavioral issues then my rate would go up and reflect the amount of extra care or attention your fur baby requires.

“FINALLY! What can I say? Sherryl is just the best, she takes care of our Bailey as if she was her own dog. I’m always nervous leaving Bailey because she does require lots of snuggles and love and not everyone is going to give your pup that type of attention but Sherryl did and I’m so grateful for that. Everyday we were on vacation Sherryl made sure to send pictures, video and a cute message about Baileys day. I highly recommend Sherryl for dog sitting, you will have peace of mind and best of all your pup will be well taken care of!”

“First and foremost Angelica was great. This was my first time having her watch my baby. She’s sent me daily updates with cute pictures attached. She took my baby to new places and tried new things with her. Thank you again ?”

“Our dogs had an excellent time staying at Crystal’s home. They got along well with her dogs and children. They got to play fetch and were really worn out when they came home. We would definitely have her pet sit them again!”

“Thank goodness for Gina! Our pup loves her time with her and we can rest easy knowing she’s so well taken care of. She’s always been communicative and flexible with our timeline should changes come up, too.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I currently have a 3 year old beagle named Stan who loves to be outside. I have had several dogs with different energy levels - from a crazy Jack Russell to a super sweet golden retriever. I am very patient and most of my dogs have been rescues. Stan came from an animal testing facility & had never been outside or touched grass when I rescued him. I work remotely from home with a really flexible schedule. I live on 3 acres with my beagle, Stan. I’m very active & love to hike. Stan loves other friendly dogs and would be a great buddy for your dog. We love to snuggle up and takes lots of walks. I do have a crate here at my house if that is needed.

“Gabrielle took such amazing care of my pup! He loves spending time with her, and she treats him as her own, even getting him a new toy and treats! He loves being able to hang out with her, and is excited every time he sees her!”

“Dinora has a beautiful place with so much space for my pup to run and pkay. She sent me plenty of photos and video updates. I felt very secure knowing my pup was with Dinora!”

“I enjoyed boarding my dogs Pablita and Sparky with Cassandra, because I had to be away for two weeks I was worried but she kept me updated and knowing the pets were well taken care of I was able to rest easy. When I got the dogs back they were happy and in good spirits, I recommend Cassandra for the services and look forward to the next time!”

About: Hi! My partner and I are 30 years old. I’m a ER physician and my partner is a firefighter. We have an old pup at home and surprisingly have enough time after work to take care of your baby. I went to a veterinary school to complete my masters and spend a significant time with dogs, cats, alpacas, donkeys, etc. Why I am starting this is because I love to stay active, especially with my dog. I have a rescue dog that is very timid, and randomly gets scared and tries to flee the situation. I have a good deal of experience with timid rescue dogs and now I know when to be patient and wait them out. Depending on your dogs active level, I will walk, hike, or run with you pup. The more activity, the better for me! Our schedules greatly vary due to the nature of our work. But currently we have lots off this summer and can give your fluff all the attention they need. We have a fenced yard and I have an older pup to keep your baby company. Also would be willing to watch the fluff in a crate if needed, they would never be left home alone.

“Kinny was really great with Tony. It was his first time away from home without us and I don’t think he wanted to leave. He had so much fun with Aubi, Kinny’s dog. He was super comfortable and happy. Kinny sent lots of updates and pics, which made me very happy. We will definitely have him stay at Kinny’s again in the future.”

“Shannon did a great job sitting our two large dogs; highly recommend! She gave routine updates, pictures, and read my dogs info before we arrived. She has a nice dog proof house. Allowed the dogs on her couch and dog bed. She took them for routine walks around her large property. She was kind and trustworthy. We used her for one night of dog sitting while we hiked half dome. There are limited to no other options in the area and dogs aren’t allowed on any Yosemite hikes. We were lucky to get her!”
