Pet Sitting in Hartley

“Maria was super friendly and kind. Even when one of our dogs was afraid having a stranger at the house she handled things great and communicated with me the whole time. She won both dogs over and they seemed happy to have her company. I would definitely use her again for any of our sitter needs. Thank you Maria!”

“Adrian was so patient with our mastiff Loki. He took the time to allow him to get used to him being there when we weren’t home. He even brought him a treat! Quickly, Loki warmed up to him. We were only gone for 3 days this time, but I would definitely book Adrian for a longer trip. I really appreciate his kind and professional updates with his visits so I could enjoy my trip and know Loki was being well cared for.”

About: Hi! I’m Samantha! I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker with a deep love for animals. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds and volunteered at the Berkeley Animal Care Shelter, where I worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’d love to care for your furry friend like they’re my own! I currently orioritize pet sitting as my main job since I do not work outside of that! This means your pet(s) will be at the center of my attention throughout their care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet and home seriously, always following your instructions closely and keeping routines consistent. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care you can feel confident about.

About: I’ve never known life without animals — I grew up surrounded by pets, and caring for them as part of the family has always come naturally. Over the years, I’ve become a trusted house and pet sitter for friends, neighbors, and family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs — from administering medication to going the extra mile to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m committed to treating your pet like my own and your home with the utmost respect, always leaving things better than I found them. I currently have full flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or special requests, I make it a priority to be present and attentive. Caring for a pet is a responsibility I approach with the utmost respect and care, especially when entrusted to enter someone’s home. I understand that leaving your pet, even for a short time, can be stressful and full of worry. That’s why I make it a priority to follow all instructions carefully—feeding, medication, playtime, and quiet moments—while creating a calm, comfortable environment. To help ease your mind, I’ll regularly send photos and updates so you can see your pet happy and well cared for. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, content pet and a home just as you left it (or even better!).

“Victoria is incredibly patient with my cats. She clearly understands feline behavior and takes the time to let each one warm up to her at their own pace. She creates a comfortable environment where they can feel safe and express their unique personalities.”

“I would 100% recommend Melissa to take care of our fur babies again, and we are very grateful for her! She took care of our two cats, and she really went the extra mile for us to make sure our girls received the best care possible. Melissa was accommodating by coming and extra day when needed and by adding in extra feeding care for one of cats last-minute to address new health needs. She shared with us summaries and photos for each visit, which was a real comfort to us. We loved knowing that someone was there to take care of the girls' needs, give them enrichment/play time, made sure they didn't get lonely, and were safe. She always responded very quickly, and I am grateful for her great communication with us. We appreciate Melissa very much!!”

About: I rescued my dog, Skoshi, from a shelter in Okinawa, Japan. We spent 16 delightful years together romping across the U.S. I have extensive experience with dogs, including: walking, playing, feeding, elderly dog care, administering medication and bring joy and love into dog's lives. I am currently a full time dog walker/sitter. I have plenty of time to walk, play and care for your dog/pet. I'm available for walks (30-60 minutes), play dates and pet/house sitting. I'm generally available between 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM and overnight stays when sitting. When your pet(s) are with me, they have my full attention. My first priority is the safety and well being of your pet. Once established, I like to concentrate on exercise: walking, running, and playing. Any instructions given (crating, medication, meals, etc.) will be followed exactly. I'm excited to reinforce any training (sit, lay, stay, heal, etc.) as part of a walk or play session using (approved) treats and positive reinforcement.

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a gentle touch. I’m patient, calm, and highly attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. But what sets me apart from others is the genuine bond I build with animals. I don’t just watch pets but more importantly, I engage with them, making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, including Labrador Retrievers, Pit Bulls, Yorkshire Terriers, and just about every kind of cat from independent seniors to bottle fed kittens. I am also comfortable with pets that need a little extra care. I’ve administered liquid medication to cats and have experience with feeding schedules, playtime routines, and comforting anxious animals. Whether your pet is energetic or laid back, I adapt to their needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. If there’s something you need that I haven’t done before, I’m more than happy to learn. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands I am currently in my second year of college at sac state university. My schedule varies each semester but I always keep a M/W/F schedule. As of this current semester it is only M/W, id be gone during the hours of 6:15am-11:15am. Before or after those times I am free and any other day of the week or weekend I am free unless posted otherwise! While I can’t provide care in my own home due to having pets of my own, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their home. I understand that every animal has their own routine and personality, so I always follow your instructions closely to keep things familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime preferences, or special needs, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

“I had an family emergency and it was a last minute trip. Kate was great to schedule a meet and greet the same day for us. I immediately felt comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. She went above and beyond for him and I would use her service again in a heart beat.”

Ethan K.

“Valerie is amazing! I had never needed to hire anyone to look after my dog before, so I had a bit of anxiety about leaving him, but Valerie soon put me at ease. Norman looked forward to Valerie’s visits every day, and it was clear that she not only has plenty of experience but also is incredibly compassionate. My dog is older, and she was great about giving him the right amount of activity and attention based on his behavior each day. I’ll be recommending Valerie to everyone I know.”

About: I have been surrounded by cats since I was a baby. I currently have two cats and would love to take care of yours like it was mine! I was trying to make a cat only profile but I could not find the only option. I'm currently trying to build a playpen out of my garage to board cats only. Each cat will have a big size enclosure and have individual brakes to play and roam around the playpen by himself. I plan to keep them separate from other possible guest cats to avoid any physical confrontation. You can bring your own food, toys and bed. Let me know if you have any questions or if you cat needs any special accommodations. I'll hope to hear from you!
