House Sitting in Hickman

About: I used to dog sit/cat sit and house sit for my sister constantly when I lived in North Dakota. I also had two wiener dogs growing up and have always been around animals. I had two pet rats for 3 years also and now have had a dog of my own for 3 and a half years. Hi, my name is Lex, and I work as a PE paraprofessional for Ceres Unified School District. During the school year, I work with students and enjoy being active, patient, and dependable. Since I have summers off, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, I will make sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I always strive to maintain those routines as closely as possible. Safety is my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and energy levels, and I believe in using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention while in my care.

“I had a last minute trip and called Nina last minute and of course she could assist me since she is retired. She did a great job watching Jack and kept me informed. I am so happy I have found Nina she is a life saver and all my dogs love her!”

“Coralie house-sat over the weekend with my lab April. She took such great care of her and sent me pictures of her on walks and playing with her dog Zia. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her and when I got home April was happy and healthy and she even loaded my dishwasher :) Coralie is very reliable and so great with my dog. We always have great experiences with walks and pet-sitting. Highly recommend her!”

About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.

About: I've been an avid animal lover for most of my life. I've had the amazing experience of dog sitting for 4 awesome dogs and taking care of my own dog Max for 11 amazing years. I've worked with dogs old and young (4-11 years of age), big and small (12-110 pounds). Although I haven't been given a chance to petsit for cats yet, I would love to be given an opportunity. I've loved every experience I've had with these amazing pets and hope to extend the same courtesy to your furry family members. I am currently a contract worker so my schedule is pretty free Monday-Friday whatever time of day. I am also available for whatever weekends you see open in my calender. My calendar is currently updated through August of 2026. I am very meticulous when it comes to following whatever rules and regulations pet parents put in place. I make it my goal to provide the best experience for the owners piece of mind on the quality of care for their fur babies.

About: Growing up with animals my whole life I’ve always had a fond love of my pets. I’ve watched numerous family and friends animals while they were away and loved spending time with every one of their pets. I furthered my education by obtaining a bachelors degree in animals science and working in vet medicine, it’s to safe to say it’s my passion! Can’t wait to meet your beloved pets! I currently work at an equine veterinary hospital only 4 days a week. My schedule is flexible enough to maintain your pets normal routines and schedules! Other than work my priority would be your pets! I have a strong love and passion for taking care of animals and take pride in giving the best care to your pets while you’re away! Having 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own, I understand just how important our pets are and how we love them like family.

I strive to ensure your pets are provided for in the best way possible that fits all your needs and provides comfort and peace of mind to you and your family.

“I was very pleased with the service Errol provided. This was my first time leaving my pet with someone besides family, and also having them in my home while away. Errol made me feel at ease and provided excellent care to my senior dog. I will definitely book with him again!”

About: I've always loved taking care of animals. When I was little I had big plans of having a shelter for dogs, cats and horses. I had even planned out the cost. Two neighborhood cats took shelter in our home and garage had three litters with us, that had further sparked my young passion for pet care. Later in life I had taken care of neighbors and families pets. I also worked with and assisted a woman with a dog grooming service (and the occasional cat) which taught me a lot more about animal temperament and handling. I adore animals and would be honored to give your fuzzy friends my best care! I work part time at TJ Max I get my work schedule a week ahead and normally im scheduled for 1 to 2 days for 4 hour shifts. If I were to pet sit for you I would only need be away for 5 hours at a time if I'm shecduled (considering drive time). I am starting school this fall working toward becoming a nurse, so being able to work with animals in the meantime is a blessing. Through the week I care for my cat and my aunts dog. my kitty gets soup time nightly (wet food) and my aunts dog takes two walks a day. In my experience every animal has their own routine they need to feel comfortable, and I am happy to learn and apply it to give the best care possible!

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, because I grew surrounded by them. My goal is to work with any type of animal. Currently I’m studying to become a veterinarian, having this opportunity helps me get more experience and become better at it. Besides my personal life, I’ve taken courses in college to understand better animal behavior and learn more about it! I’ll always do my best to keep your loved ones safe and happy! I’m currently studying in College, but I have plenty of time after 2pm during Monday to Thursday. During Friday and Weekends I’m free and always available for any services! I live in a house that has plenty of space and is fenced. I also have a really friendly dog that loves to play around animals. If your fur baby is more comfortable inside the house, we have plenty of space inside where they can run and play!

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a child and truly love animals of all kinds. I have experience with both big and small dogs, including caring for my aging and sick pup through the end of her life. I’ve also rescued several pitbulls, which taught me patience, compassion, and how to build trust with dogs from all backgrounds. I treat every dog like family and always strive to provide safe, loving, and attentive care. I work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the week and weekends. I’m able to care for your pup in your home and provide walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care based on your dog’s individual needs and personality. My priority is always making animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet and owner has different routines, boundaries, and preferences, and I will always follow what works best for both you and your animal. Whether your pet needs extra patience, structure, affection, or calm care, I strive to create a safe and trusting environment for them at all times.
