“Michelle is the best! I needed a sitter last minute and she responded immediately. When I met her I could see she truly loved animals and my pets would be in good hands. Our dog Mocha and Michelle became best buddies right away, and even made friends with our wary cat. Michelle was prompt and kept me up to date with daily pictures. I would definitely recommend her to sit for your fur babies.”

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. My love for them has taken me on some unforgettable adventures, from visiting animal sanctuaries to zoos in Mexico and Europe. Growing up, I was that person who would tear up watching dog movies — I’ve always known animals had a unique way of making my heart full. I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, always dreaming of having a dog of my own. While I didn’t have one at the time, I spent countless hours dog-sitting and playing with my friend’s pups, Bella the bichon frise and Max the golden retriever. I loved taking care of them, and those moments are some of my favorite memories. My dream finally came true when my husband and I welcomed Prince, our sweet golden doodle puppy, into our home. He’s brought so much joy into our lives, and I’m always researching new ways to give him the best care possible, whether it’s through training or simply showering him with love. I’d love to share that same care and attention with your dog. I truly enjoy spending time with pups, and I will treat yours like my own, making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Since Prince was just a 4 month old puppy when we got him , I have good experience caring for puppies and dogs alike. I am looking forward a precious time with your fur babies! I work full time on the weekdays and am alloting a whole day to be a dog sitter/walker! I am currently free on Mondays the whole day to look after your lovely dogs! I have the sweetest dog named Prince who loves to meet other dogs! I don’t have a fence , so I will be leasing dogs whenever we exit my home. We don’t smoke and keep our home aptly clean.

“Logan was wonderful - easy to communicate with, reliable, and did a great job caring for our newfie, Coda. His flexibility in assisting us when we were driving through the area was so appreciated. Would highly recommend.”

About: Currently, I care for my own cat and provide weekday care for another dog in my home. I also dog-sit for a neighbor’s dog who is fearful and aggressive towards others. I’ve been able to build trust with him by being patient and calm. Happy to build a relationship with your pet/s as well! I also grew up caring for two cocker spaniels and a cockatiel. I work part-time as a farmers market sales person and also do remote website work from home. My flexible schedule allows me plenty of availability to care for and assist with pets. Whether it’s daily attention or occasional help, I’m ready to fit pet care seamlessly into my routine! On drop in visits, I’m happy to take dogs on walks, give all the pets, get to know your dog and make sure they have everything they need (food, water, affection and clean space!) Enjoy meeting and caring for cats as well! Able to make sure they have the food, water, physical interaction and play time they might need while you are away.

About: I've taken care of animals for over 5 years. I started out with a Leopard Gecko, but got a dog a couple years later. After that, I went to C-Tech and completed their Animal Science program, taking care of reptiles, small mammals, dogs, and even sometimes birds. Rover doesn't offer anything outside of dogs and cats, but if you need something else taken care of I'd be glad to help. My schedule is almost fully free. I've been out of school for a while and I love caring for animals! I don't dogsit as a full time job, but when I get a request I couldn't be happier to oblige! When taking care of animals, my own or someone else's; I can provide the animal with play, bathroom breaks, water & food refills, litter changes, and anything else your pet may need. If there's any special or unique care you need done for your animal, just ask. Leaving your pet with somebody else can be a bit worrying or stressful. If you want to build trust first, we can do as many meets as you'd like! Just say a date and I'm there.

About: I love taking care of animals. Animal energy is something I love having in my life. I have had dogs and cats since I was born. Now I have my very own Border Collie named Iris who I love with all my heart. I was always interested in animal care bathing walking cooking my own dog special food. I recently made the decision to leave my place of employment after 25 years. So now I can commit to animal care as much or as little as I can. I don't have a routine yet but hopefully I will establish one soon. I have done numerous overnights with up to 4 dogs. I ask the owners for a printed copy of each dogs habits, routine and exercise preferences. Also if the dog has any leash or food aggression.

About: I grew up with lots of animals in my house my whole entire life. Everything from birds, reptiles, fish to basic ones such as cats and dogs. In summer I was on farm with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and much more. I have been watching dogs for as long as I remember. Both in my house as well as other homes. I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.

About: I do in home visits/dog walks for pets. They'll get a nice play session in too! Plenty of love and pets given too! Pre-meeting is fine as well. I currently work part-time time. I have a very flexible schedule so I'm usually available a few times a day for dog walks and visits I will always make sure your dog is leashed on walks. I also make sure your pet is in the house when I leave and the door is locked.

About: Hey there! My name is Marina! So nice to meet you! I have been interested in animal care since I can first remember, and this passion has led me to rehabilitating sick, neglected, abused & injured animals of all shapes and sizes.

I am mostly available on weekends only for pet care. I can be available after 7PM for drop-ins at night if need be. During the week I am fully employed.

What ever instructions you leave for me will be performed; Your pets comfort and safety comes first for me before all else. I understand animals and their environments, their specificities, quirks and special needs.

About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.

About: If you’re like me, you prefer pets over people! For years I’ve taken care of my own dogs including a five year old rescue that was never house broken. I have also helped family and friends with their pets while they were at work or on vacation. I am happy to do the same for you and treat your pets the way they deserve to be treated and as if they were my own family members! I’m “retired and available” now but when I was working it was difficult at times to find someone to let my dogs out if family wasn’t available so I’m happy to help others who have the same concern. I have a fenced in yard for my 2 shelties Bentlee and Beau, who are both fixed and who love to run around and play together.
