“Our dogs were a big fan of Chase at first meeting, and she took great care of them while we were gone for the day hiking in ‘Mt. Shasta. We appreciated her working us into her schedule at the last minute, too! Very communicative, we felt very assured our dogs were in good hands”
“I'll say it again - SO LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND LEXY! She wonderful with our cat, Nestor, who usually hides when people come over but not with Lexy! She spends time with him and sends great pictures. Such a kind, caring, responsible young lady - SHE IS OUR GO TO SITTER! Thank you Lexy!”
“Lisa is the best! My cats are a little high maintenance, one needs meds and hisses at everyone, and they did so great with Lisa. It's a relief to have someone with so much experience and is unfazed by my cat's attitude problem.”
“Diana was AMAZING! We are so glad we found her to watch our fur baby Max. She went above and beyond while we were away. She pays attention to detail, she is reliable, friendly, and so caring/good with animals! We will 100% be working with Diana again!”
“We were very pleased with Lacey's care of our boxer in her home. She picked her up from our home after our early morning flight, regularly sent pictures & care updates, and brought her home on the day we were flying home. She also asked for verification that we made it home and was more than willing to come back to feed her and let her out in the event that our flight was delayed.”
About: I recently had two rescue heeler mixes. We competed in agility, and did herding, barn hunt, and parkour. I loved to hike, walk, run, and be active with my dogs. Now that they're gone, I have an open space in my heart for time with yours. I walk and run or hike several days out of the week. I'd love to bring your well-behaved dog along for their enjoyment and my company! Because I live up a steep gravel driveway, I prefer to meet in town or at your place to take your dog for a walk or run. But if they need to come to my place for sitting, I have a fenced yard with some agility equipment. I also have a dog door, to let them have free access to my .5 acre fenced yard. I do have a cat, so if your dog comes to my place, it will have to get along with her.
“Dennis and Judy cared for my cat for a week. They spent time with her and entertained her. They sent pictures of my happy cat! I would definitely have them care for my cat again!”
“Jennifer was just awesome! Very accommodating of my dog's special needs and no complaints about them! My dogs were healthy, happy, watered, fed and walked as instructed and she genuinely cares about the dogs she sits for! Happy to strongly recommend her & will absolutely use her again!”
About: I am bilingual in English and Spanish! I am very active and available everyday evening and weekends (Fri-Sun). I will care for your animal with all my love and attention. Have experience giving medicine to dogs. I am a chiropractic assistant and work Monday-Thursday. I am available to sit or walk animals every evening and on weekends. I am very flexible! With three cats, I pride on keeping a clean and sanitary home! They deserve the best, and so do your babies. I am willing to stay at your place and keep things exactly the way you want them!
“Andrea took great care of my cats while I was away over night. She was very professional and clearly cares about animals and making sure that their people feel comfortable and reassured. She kept me updated, and I wasn’t worried for a moment while I was gone.”
About: Ever since I was little I’ve helped out with the care of my own family pets and our neighbors and friends as well. I have always LOVED animals and I’ve never found a cat or dog that doesn’t like me. In my past I’ve been in charge of walking and exercising dogs, feeding and watering dogs, and providing an abundance of love! As of now I just graduated college and spent a month abroad in Europe. I am looking for part time work and my schedule is completely open (: I live in an all adult household on 6 acres of land. There are fenced areas where your animal could roam safety, and in the non fenced areas, I’m happy to keep your fur baby on leash and prevent any accidents. I will accommodate to anything your pet needs while they stay with me!
“Jordan has been wonderful about watching my ducks. It’s a somewhat unusual pet sitting request, but he adapted to it right away and always sends the cutest pictures. I feel confident leaving my duckies knowing Jordan is watching them.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I love giving them the care and attention they need. Animals always brighten my day so it brings me great joy when I can return the favor. My schedule is wide open. I do other side gigs but I’m very flexible and can work around whatever time you or your pet needs me. My goal is for your home and your pets to look just like they did when you left. I will treat your home and your pets as if they were a friends/family members, which to me means respecting your privacy and giving your pet a warm, loving presence while you’re away.
“Clara is great at communicating in advance when there are schedule conflicts (which have been minimal) and in being flexible when things are different for our schedule. And she loves our pup as much as we do.”
