“Haley took wonderful care of our elderly Boston Terrier. She gave him lots of chin rubs and scratches in just the right places. She was very thorough and followed all instructions perfectly. I loved the pictures that she sent every day. They made me feel better about leaving him at home to see how calm he was. I am already booking her again.”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs my whole life. I make sure to respect the needs of each animal that I am around and only interact with them in ways that they’re comfortable with. I also have experience training dogs and would love to help with that if you’d like. I work from home most days so I have very flexible hours! :) I am a Neuroscience PhD student and can do pretty much all of my work remotely. I am very flexible with hours and will be able to give your pet as much attention as they need ! I can help however you need- I’d be happy to stay overnight if your pet needs it, though I can’t stay 24/7 since I have my own cat to take care of at home. I can take dogs on walks and give them lots of attention and play time. Or if your pet is more reclusive I can just provide some company as we exist in the same room. I’m super flexible!

“Sydney has been great managing both my dogs. She is confident and willing to be patient with them as they get used to her. She’s been a great find.”

About: I absolutely love all pets! I spent this past summer volunteering as a dog socializer and walker at Pets Lifeline Animal Shelter. I am comfortable around all dogs, all energy levels, I understand their body language, and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I will dedicate my time to loving them and prioritizing your routine. I also have a pup of my own, a pug, who loves to get out of the house and is always curious! As a UC Davis student, I plan my schedule carefully to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find walk times that work for both of us, and I prioritize being punctual, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs When I'm at your home or on walks, I adapt to your usual routine for your pet and whatever you do to make them as comfortable as possible.

About: Hi! I’m a UC Davis student and passionate animal lover. I have my own cat and 3 years of experience volunteering with pet rescues and animal shelters, where I helped many dogs find loving homes. I’m experienced with dog walking, handling different temperaments, and providing patient, attentive care. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding throughout the week. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular routine and can accommodate different feeding, walking, and play schedules. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and relax. I also have my own friendly cat, so I’m experienced with pets in the home. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully and prioritize their pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates during their stay.

“❤️ Hannah is a godsend taking great care of our ckd kitty. She is knowledgeable on giving meds including subq fluids, she is gentle, and the animals love ❤️ her.”

About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Raised on a farm and on a pre-vet track from a young age, I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds—from house pets to livestock to wildlife. Starting at 14, I volunteered in local vet clinics and wildlife rehab centers, gaining hands-on experience with everything from cats and dogs to peacocks, horses, goats, snakes, fish, birds, and cattle. At UC Davis, I deepened my care skills while working at the world-renowned Vet Hospital, tending to cats and dogs during the swing shift. I also worked with campus goats, pigs, sheep, fish, cattle, and horses—and even fostered cats for the hospital. Now in my 30s, I’m an education professional and dedicated pet mom to both cats and dogs. I continue to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets with the same compassion, attention, and responsibility that’s guided me my whole life. I’m certified in Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid, and Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid, and have emergency care experience with animals large and small. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always communicate clearly—your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm currently taking a break from teaching, and being a full-time stay-at-home mama to my 3 year old daughter and 6 month old son. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. Please note that at this time, we are seeking families whose pets are comfortable around toddlers and babies. I have a fully fenced yard, and a park just around the corner from my house for those whose furry friends enjoy a stretch, walk, or playtime! I am comfortable using a crate, and we have plenty of floor room in the house (carpet and laminate) for them to lay down if they're not crate trained. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Cats are allowed to wander the house. We are more than happy to put up child gates to keep your furry family member in certain areas of the house if they're prone to getting into things (such as stuffed animals for the kiddos... I mean really, a lot of doggie toys these days look so similar! I'd understand the misconception. lol) We're not afraid to be firm but kind if your family member needs set boundaries.

About: I have had animals in my household since I was a baby. I got my first dog in 3rd grade and have cared for her until I left for college. I have cared for my families and neighbors dogs and cats while they are away at vacation. I have just graduated with my bachelors in Animal Science at the University of California in Davis. I have cared for newborn puppies and practiced physical exams on many animals. I have the ability to bathe, feed, walk, train, and trim dog’s nails. I’ve worked at 2 animal hospitals one in Davis and here in Palm Springs! I am a full time vet assistant at PSAH however with my time gaps I’d be more than available to take your dog outside to use the restroom and make sure to feed them. I would be happy to keep them company while I do my studies. I have a fenced and large backyard so that your fur babies have plenty of space to run safely. If there is a crate provided in the clients home I will use it as necessary and make sure there are no open doors for them to run out.

“Esmerilda is a phenomenal cat sitter! I am so grateful for her careful attention to detail and her loving care for our pets. She made our cats comfortable, which meant a lot to us since they are anxious when we are away. I highly recommend booking her!”

About: **I don't charge for additional pets!! I’ve always been an animal enthusiast growing up in the country I did whatever I could to be around animals constantly. In our home we had four dogs, two hamsters, a corn snake, a half-blind horse, countless hermit crabs, and a parakeet. There is truly no animal I don't love and won't do my best to care for. Growing up with these animals I've had the privilege to be there when they were puppies/kittens/babies all the way through the end of their life, so I have extensive experience with care in every life stage. I've carried that love and passion with me into adulthood. As an adult I've worked for a year as a kennel technician at a humane society enriching, socializing, training, and advocating for dogs, cats, and small animals. I also regularly volunteer time at humane societies when I can and regularly foster cats, to date I've successfully fostered over 10 cats who are now all in happy homes. Through fostering I've experienced some harder care cases. Including fostering 3 week old sick kittens requiring syringe feedings, multiple medications, and detailed weight tracking. I've also had the privilege of fostering a hospice case who required food, liquid, and medication administration through an e-tube along with extensive monitoring. No matter what kind of care your pet needs I will do my best to ensure they receive the love, respect, and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping you and your furry (and maybe scaly) family members! I'm avaliable for drop-ins, boarding, and walking M-F after 2:30 PM! I can also do breakfast drop-ins during the week between 5:00-5:30 AM, or earlier if need be. I'm open and available most weekends for all pet care, I keep my schedule updated 3 months out! If you want to book further than 3 months just send me a message and I'm happy to work with you! My top priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. Each visit, walk, or stay is individual and entirely customizable for your pet. To ensure your pet receives the best care I require an initial meet and greet, or phone call so we can discuss what the ideal care looks like. I prioritize customizable care, communication, and enrichment to make sure your pet has the best 'staycation' ever!

About: - Butler to one angry cat since 2019 and one shy cat since 2024 - Fostered and found homes for dogs flown in from other countries - Administered 100+ vaccines for dogs and cats in shelter led vaccine clinics - Worked in veterinary clinical settings since 2021 A student whose only activities are home, school, and occasionally work, and would love to expand her pet friend circle! I need pet time to function properly. Provide care to your fur babies while allowing them to stay in the comfort of their own home, alleviating the unnecessary stress of being somewhere new and away from their family. Very flexible on schedule, pet needs (ie: playtime, potty breaks, feeding, grooming, etc.), and friendly quirks (ie: special food prep, bedtime routines, etc.)

About: I love animals very much and as a result, have much experience with them. I had a dog for 10 years that I fully trained from the age of 8 weeks, so I am very comfortable with puppies. Additionally, I have dog-sat senior dogs many times, for multiple days. I am a student at UC Davis currently, with class only a couple of times per day. I have a car as well so I am easily able to visit your pet multiple times throughout the day. I have no classes on Fridays or the weekends so I am usually fully free on those days. How you and your dog's usual schedule is, is what I will try my best to replicate for your pup. For example, if the dog needs to be fed or let out at a certain time, I will make sure it happens.

“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.”
