Pet Sitting in Harmony

“Makaela did a great job and our cat seemed very content when we got back. She followed all of the directions and put in extra effort to engage him in play while we were gone. I would highly recommend her services.”

“With super short notice too, and at a super busy and stressful moment for me, Colleen made me feel so at ease and made sure my pup was safe and happy! He had just gotten surgery, and I had a pop up work event and personal stuff happening, and I was full able to trust her to give my Max his meds and make sure he was staying safe. Thank you so much Colleen! If I need someone I know who to call!”

About: Getting to know each furry-one’s personality is foundational to providing personalized care. Whether your pet is playful, curious, cautious, mischievous, or lazy, I'll get to know their quirks and make sure they are purring or wagging their tails when you get home! Keep reading for dog care, and for cats click on ‘View fill cat experience’ below. From growing up with ranch dogs to walking neighborhood dogs, spending time with dogs has always been a treat! Caring for your precious pup through play time, walks (with your permission), meals, and scratches behind the ear would be my honor. Experience includes caring for outdoor and indoor dogs in an array of sizes, ages, and energy with delightfully unique personalities and play preferences. Evenings and weekends are best for shorter visits when you're out to dinner, on a day trip, or celebrating away from home. For longer overnight care in your home, I'm typically available to care for your furry loved-one from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 a.m. Monday - Friday, and most of the day on Saturdays and Sunday. When in your home, I will treat your pet and your space with respect. This includes following all your house rules such as no dogs on the couch, no cats on the counter, shoes off in your home, etc. Creating normalcy in behavior is important for your furry loved-one to know they are safe and for you to know that bad habits won't be encouraged.

About: About me: I’ve lived with and cared for animals my entire life in SLO county. I believe all dogs/cats are special. Love and fun are my #1 priority with all animals-I guarantee a wonderful stay with your pets, catered to their typical daily routine! One of my most rewarding hobbies is volunteering at local animal shelters. I was trained as a volunteer at SLO County Animal Services last year which peaked my love for animal care. I shadowed Service Dog Trainer Celis Rabena at New Life K9s as part of my High school portfolio project as well last year where I learned so much about dog behavior. Ive trained and raised two rescue puppies of my own (Arrow and Ivy) into well rounded dogs. I have tons of experience working through reactivity with my own dogs and others. I possess skills like quick thinking/reacting, attention to detail, and a calm balanced state of mind with animals. I cater my skills to each animal individually and value them above anything else. I look forward to meeting new people and their pets! 🐶 I currently work from home so my availability is very open! When sitting in your home, I will need to go back to my home to care for my own animals a few times a day-depending on your distance from mine, time away from your pet(s) will most likely not be over 4 hours (feel free to reach out to coordinate if this would be a problem for you, I am happy to work something out) 🌼 While caring for your pet(s), safety is the top priority. I will never push an animal beyond their boundaries, and will always follow your instructions. I prefer to meet you and your pet(s) prior to me sitting them to ensure I know all care details. While i’m with your pet(s) I will keep you updated with photos/videos of our day(s) while you’re away (unless told otherwise) and I am happy to accommodate phone/facetime calls for you to check on your furry friends! I am 100% reachable by phone at all times- if something were to happen with your pet whilst in my care, you will be the first to know. I know exact routes to Animal Emergency Hospitals around the entire county as well as basic dog CPR and first aid. I am very respectful and responsible, your rules come first when i’m watching your pets! 🩵

“Great communication! Kept me updated while on our trip with pictures and Akasha seemed to enjoy her! Will definitely book again.”

About: I'm a life long animal and pet lover. I am extremely reliable, trustworthy and caring. I have worked with dogs, cats and other small animals for decades. I have veterinary experience, healthcare experience and general common sense when it comes to all animals. I worked for Nutro Pet Foods, managed a pet store, and owned Nature's Country Pet providing natural pet products to pet and health food stores. I have extensive experience with feral cats and have trapped and rescued dozens of cats. I will not let you down when it comes to your pet babies. I know how hard it is to leave your pets. Please contact me and we can discuss your pets' needs. I am newly retired but very fit, strong and active. I am available any time to assist with your pets. I have my own dog and "a few" cats. Pet care is part of my daily routine. Safety is always first. I always make sure the pet is safe and will not escape (especially cats who often to try and bolt out of a door). I approach pet's with a very calm and understanding demeanor. I know how to interact with animals who are not familiar with me. Most pets can sense that I am an animal person and come to trust me quickly.

“Lou was a life saver. We love to travel with Oki our yorkie. Lou was able to help us watch Oki while toured Hearst castle. He was even so kind to meet us at the parking lot just to make our life easier. He was so kind and reassuring us with pictures. Turns out we all graduated from the same High school. What a small world. I would definitely recommend Lou for all your pet care needs. Hope to us him again in the future.”

“Cami was so excellent with my sweet kitty Lucy - incredibly accommodating with my last-minute requests, and so attentive to Lucy’s needs. I returned to a really content cat which is all I could ask for!”

“Edina was great! She really took the time to care for my cat, who is quite a scaredy cat! Thank you!”

About: I’m here to make sure your family is safe and taken care of. I have 10+ years experience as a pet sitter and dog walker. If you have any questions let me know! I work from home so I am very flexible. I’m more then happy to stay over or drop in as needed. Please let me know what I can do to make sure your fur fam is happy and healthy. Your family members safety is my top concern. If they have any medical conditions or other issues I will make sure care for them accordingly.

“Addie was flexible with setting the visit times and took good care of my pup who was having tummy trouble.”

“She did a fine job! I will definitely hire her again. Its a relief to have met her and know I now have someone reliable and kind to watch over my cat.”

Juniper H.

“Forest was great! He quickly befriended my kitties and took excellent care of them with his daily drop ins. The daily photos were perfect and he kept me informed of everything. I’ll definitely be rebooking!”

Dan P.

“It is such a relief when on vacation to know that your pet is being cared for, even my semi-feral boy who doesn't like anybody but me. Madison is super reliable at providing all the help he needs without pushing too hard to add to his stress. I've been booking Madison on and off for a couple of years now and I couldn't be happier with her service.”

Thomas K.

“Jennifer helped with walking and feeding our pug, Winnie, a couple times during a day when we were away. She was extremely responsive and eager to understand Winnie's personality and preferences. Jennifer stayed in touch so we knew when she was there and how Winnie had responded. It was very reassuring to have such an enthusiastic and concerned caregiver helping with Winnie while we were away. We will definitely plan to contact Jennifer the next time we need some help!”

About: As the token "animal lover" friend and family member, I've been the go-to for all things caretaker since I was young. It's my pleasure and joy to spend time with animals; I'm extremely attentive, love to give pets and cuddle. As a pet owner myself, I always worry if the sitters I have to watch my babies are going to be attentive enough and really ensure that they feel loved-- so that's always my MO. I currently work from home with a super flexible schedule, so I'm easily able to accommodate last minute requests as well as regularly scheduled visits for your fur babies! I'm a cuddler, and love to go on multiple daily walks myself, so you never have to worry about me just "checking the box" and leaving. I love to hang around, am very present with my visits, and big on cuddles. I believe I'm the perfect fit for anyone who wants to make sure their fur babies are well loved and seeking lots of pets/ attention. When taking care of another's fur baby, I always strive to meet the animal where they are and ensure that they feel as comfortable as possible as I know missing mom and dad can be hard and produce anxiety. I'm big on giving cuddles, attention, keeping them busy and going for walks, etc. More than happy to administer medication, stick to any special routines, and keep things as "normal" as possible. I'm extremely reliable and responsible; caretaking is one of my callings in this life and I thoroughly enjoy being that resource for others :)

“Michelle is awesome and was great with my dog. She sent photos while I was out and kindly stayed an extra half hour. I’m so glad she was available when I needed a sitter. 10/10!”

About: I possess a deep and unflappable care for all animals-- big or small. I have owned several animals, from cats to dogs and now I am often the friend that asks others if I can take their dog for an adventure. I am experienced with training and dog care for all ages. I am currently starting my own business so I am home often, which allows me to provide the best and most intentional service for your lovely animals. I do not have other animals, so your pet will be my priority. I have a fenced back yard and I am centrally located in Bend, Oregon for tons of walks and play time.

About: I work FT, weekdays 7:30am-4:30pm, but available all other hours, and all weekend. I'm in Morro Bay, an Oregonian import, and living on a sailboat. If you don't want your dog on the water, no problem, we'll go to the beach, hikes, and dog parks. I'm happy to spend all my time with dogs, hence the low low rates. I don't mind lazy dogs, especially if house sitting, but I'd prefer the owners who want there dog to get as much fun and attention as we can so we can both be active together. I have had a dog in my life for over 30 years, I recently volunteered at a Malaysian Dog rescue (cared for 13 feral pooches). My former partner was a dog trainer (so I have extensive knowledge in the field and back up advice on hand) and our dog was a service dog that we trained. Dogs naturally like me, and I'm able to lure even the most timid dogs by way of patient and persistent love. That's why they always eventually trust me, because I genuinely love them. All of them (bad repped too, most of my dogs have been pit mixes). I'm also a great fixer and handyman if needed. Weekends are wide open, Week nights too, but weekdays I work 7-5. Weekends are wide open, Week nights are too, but weekdays I work 7-5. I'm on a sailboat, so if its home stay, pooch needs to be able to be lifted (under 60lbs). Otherwise there will be minivan rides, walks, or park play.

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life. I have raised to rescue kittens. I have taken care of big dogs and small dogs. I do have two homes 1 Morro Bay and 1 in Santa Maria where my kitty and dog live. Both of my animals now live with my aunt and mother. There forever home. My house is animal free. I would love to get to take care of your furry friend. I do have a full time job 4 days a week. My weekends are Sunday - Tuesday. I would be available after to work. I work a 9 to 5 most days. I would love to communicate what the needs of your furry friend would be. I can give them walks, feed them, or any special needs they may have.
