About: I’ve cared for animals and pet sitting since I was very young! I have farming experience, and I love helping animals feel at peace when their owner is gone. I’ve even dealt with and more complex situations in caring for animals with medical needs. I also have a passion for chickens so if they need care while your gone I’m a great fit! I’m free on the weekends, and work remotely throughout the week, which would leave me plenty of time to play and care for your special pet! I am happy to care for your animal in their home including walks and keep care of basic house sitting needs while you are away! I love to play with pets and snuggle them if they’ll let me!

“Excellent sitter! Quickly developed a genuine bond with my dog and was super caring and helped my pup ( a recent senior rescue) live her best life. Good communicator, very friendly, went well beyond to give my dog a great experience. I highly, highly recommend.”

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a baby, so caring for and loving on them is second nature to me. I have worked at many farms for over five years and taken care of goats, cows, chickens, bunnies, and, of course, dogs and cats. I've lived in shared housing situations and watched my roommates' animals while they're away. I have open availability during the week to care for animals. I work part-time but my shifts are never longer than five and a half hours. I am only available to come to your home and care for your animals' needs there + take them out for walks. I am an honest and reliable person.

About: Hi! My name is Laurel, but my friends call me Lolo. I have been caring for animals since I could walk. No, seriously, I have! I was blessed with the opportunity to grow up with all kinds of animals to care for daily. If you have grown up on a ranch or a farm, you know what I am talking about. We had two Australian Shepherds, horses, a donkey, barn cats, you name it! Those days sparked the passion I have for animals and taught me how to work my booty off. We were taught to NEVER leave the gate open, always clean up after ourselves (and the animals), and to show love to every living being. As an adult, I worked at multiple doggy daycares, adventured with some really amazing horses (and riders) at a Girl Scout camp in California, and have taken every opportunity I have found to spend time with animals. My dream is to one day open a ranch for rescue animals of all species and breeds. Until then, I am elated to be offering my pet care services to YOU and your furry friends (or scaly, I don't judge). Follow our Instagram to see what we are up to. I can't wait to hear from you! I can definitely handle young crazy puppies that jump, chew, pee everywhere, etc. as well as older (more fragile) dogs that need specialized care. I also have experience giving medications. I don't mind having dogs in my car and will happily bathe your dogs upon request. I am passionate about caring for all animals, especially dogs, and I am not intimidated easily! If you have other pets in your home, I will feed them and give them some love as well. I look forward to meeting your fur/feather/scaly babies and will treat them as they are my own! I operate my own pet care business out of my home, caring for your pets IS my weekly routine. I have a very flexible schedule. **I absolutely update all of my clients with photos and updates! I give you my direct cell phone number so you can contact me at any time if you want to know how your babies are doing. Safety of your pet is my number one priority. I never leave your home until your dog is properly leashed and wearing protective footwear when necessary. Please understand that I will not be able to provide a dog walk without proper safety equipment such as a collar with updated tags, a secure leash, etc. I operate my own pet care business out of my home, caring for your pets IS my weekly routine. I have a very flexible schedule. Safety of your pet is my number one priority. I never leave your home until your dog is properly leashed and wearing protective footwear when necessary. Please understand that I will not be able to provide a dog walk without proper protection for their paw pads due to the high heat in the summer. My own house has multiple baby gates to ensure no dog escapes through any entry point as clients are coming and going. Our backyard is fenced and we keep a lock on our gate at all times. We have a shaded area for dogs to go potty even on the hottest of days and keep our AC set to 78 or lower at all times.

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets is a lifelong devotion. I’ve shared my home and heart with dogs and cats throughout my life, and I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including senior pets and those needing extra tenderness or special care. In addition to hands-on experience, I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep sensitivity to the emotional needs of animals. I’m trained in energy healing and often incorporate gentle, calming energy into my care when appropriate—helping pets feel safe, seen, and loved while their humans are away. My approach is intuitive, attentive, and heart-centered. I treat each pet as the unique soul they are, and I feel truly honored to care for them. I work from home a lot and I have the freedom to be available and present full-time. I’m devoted to being with your pet providing all their needs. I prefer to provide care in the clients home but I can also bring your pet to my home. I have a big yard and a deck that is fenced. Pets will are welcome.

“Spencer and his partner Ruby did an amazing job with our corgi Theo! If we could give them 10 stars out of 5 for the care they gave our doggo, we would! They are very friendly and enthusiastic, Theo loved them immediately. They kept Theo safe and happy, we even had neighbors tell us how well cared for our boy was while we were on our trip. We got daily updates and pictures, which we super appreciated.”

About: I’ve dog walked and dog sat for over a year and on and off for about 5 years. I’ve always loved being around animals, I grew up in a dog family and have always enjoyed walking dogs playing with them or sitting on the couch and snuggling with dogs. They’re truly happiness and every dog I’ve ever met has always put a smile on my face. As of right now I currently work part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. Do any days of the week work I’m a trustworthy and reliable person and will prioritize spending time with your animals making sure they’re happy and safe. I can only stay at a clients house as I can’t bring any pets to my place as I’m renting.

“Michael was fantastic! The meet and greet went well. There was a phone call just before the stay where he asked detailed questions about how to best to take care of my dogs. I got photos of happy doggies during the visit. Everything was exactly as discussed and I couldn’t be happier! Will definitely contact Michael again when my doggies need quality, home care.”

“Catherine was everything we could have asked for in a puppy sitter. She spent lots of time with our little guy and gave me plenty of updates along the way.”

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, horses, ferrets for a while, horses, a turkey, chickens, and fish. Experienced with bully breeds, huskies, labs, French bulldogs, golden retrievers (from the very codependent to the aloof 😬), beagles, toy poodles, bichon, and many more. Education background in clinical psych with extensive behavior change training. Positive reinforcement is the only reinforcer I will utilize with pets and have taught dogs commands, better leash behavior, and even how to give high fives and piggy back rides (one needy golden retriever). I love all animals but sadly can’t have them in my building due to HOA rules. Experienced with huskies both young and old (mine lived to be 16 as a rescue with a broken back and needed assistance often) and their unique personalities (e.g., selective hearing, never off leash unless it’s one of the two huskies I’ve trained to go off leash 🤣, boredom, and running away as a game) Flexible work schedule and able to accommodate almost all schedules and needs - whatever works best for you and your pets. Feel free to reach out I am available to housesit or do check-ins and walking and more. Not able to have pets in my home due to HOA rules and miss having animals in my life.

“Peach was so incredibly wonderful to have stay with our animals. Her warm energy, her commitment and communication allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing our animals were in great hands. Our animals instantly bonded with Peach and truly had such a great time with her! She played with Lou (our cat) and walked Yucca (our dog). We will absolutely be booking with Peach again!”

About: Over the years I have owned and cared for various breeds of dogs which has thus created skills that I utilize during my car of your pet. My number one principal is to create a peaceful, loving environment for your animal while under my care. I am a very flexible sitter and I’m willing to accommodate to any requests you may have. Thank you for your consideration. All of my work is based out of my home office. I spend a lot of one on one time with my clients pets which I believe brings a much better experience for both me and your pet. Boarding services are my favorite services because I get to spend more one on one time with the animals. Doggy Daycare is my home daycare service, taking the clients out for most of the day, playing and relaxing instead of waiting alone for their owners to return home for the day. Drop Ins and Walks are services provided at the clients residence. I want all of my clients to feel loved and safe while in my care and I would like their owners to know they are in good hands.

“Tomi stayed with our dog over the Christmas break and went above and beyond to care for the house and our dog! Tomi stayed with her during the fireworks on NYE to make sure she wasn't scared, administered meds, and communicated with us every day! Sent pics and was easy to reach. We'll for sure book with Tomi again!”

About: When I was growing up animals were always a part of the equation, in fact there hasn't been a moment of my life I haven't been around them in some way, shape, or form and this has developed my personality into someone very nurturing and loving. I adore dogs and household animals but I have a wide variety of experience in all types as I am a wildlife conservationist. My experience ranges from the terrestrial animals of Africa like lions and elephants, reptiles like snakes and iguanas, and even the marine animals like elephant seals and dolphins. In the past I worked in South Africa in Marakele National Park, and also at the California Wildlife Center helping to rehabilitate and release sickly or orphaned marine mammals. This is what I'm passionate about and usually find myself in interesting places and because of this I'm very confident when it comes to animals that require special attention. I am adept in medical treatment as I have experience in animals that have diabetes or other forms of health requirements and take their needs very seriously. These are your babies, and I treat them like my own always. Work for me is seasonally based so during the summers I generally work from 3pm-8pm and during the winters from 6am-2pm or so. I work with the humpbacks, mantas, and dolphins so scheduling is dependent. I have a private home and yard that's quite spacious and while under my care they are always supervised. Should I need to leave the home for whatever reason, examples being to run errands like groceries and the like they will remain at my home but will not be alone for longer than an hour or two. For me, I just truly love them and want to be a safe space for them to be carefree as that's usually their nature. They will have regular walks and games to exercise both their body and mind and to feel as at ease and at home as possible while away from their family.

“Samantha was great with our pup. Took her to the park multiple times to run around, gave us regular updates, and left the house as clean as we left it. Will definitely use her again.”

Jenelle F.

“Ann was wonderful! She was able to sit for us on short notice and made sure she had time to come meet us and the pups ahead of time. She sent lots of pictures while we were gone! We will definitely keep her in mind for future dog-sitting needs.”
