House Sitting in Magalia

About: I was born and raised surrounded by animals, and I’ve been caring for dogs of every kind for as long as I can remember. Family and friends have always relied on me to walk, feed, train, and love their dogs like my own. My family and I are also German Shepherd breeders, so dogs are truly part of our everyday life. Because we both work from home, your pup will never be left without attention and care. We often take our dogs to the park and even on store outings for training and socialization, so your fur baby will have plenty of stimulation and fun. Our Home & Care 🐾 Fenced backyard with over 1.3 acres to play safely 🐾 Three friendly German Shepherds for company and socialization 🐾 Kennels and crates available in different sizes if needed/requested 🐾 Required up-to-date vaccinations for the safety and health of all dogs Why Book With Us? • Full-time presence—we’re home and attentive throughout the day • Active lifestyle—walks, playtime, and stimulation included • Daily photo & video updates for peace of mind • Flexible to each dog’s personality, needs, and routines Your pup will be welcomed into our family and cared for as if they were our own. ❤️ Because we work from home, caring for pets is part of our everyday life. Your dog (or cat) will never be left alone for long periods—we’re able to give them attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. Walks, feeding, and potty breaks naturally fit into our routine, and we often go to the park or on short outings for enrichment and socialization. With our own dogs, we’re used to a structured schedule, so adding your pet into that rhythm is easy and natural. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At our home, we provide a secure fenced yard for play, supervised outdoor time, and crate options of various sizes if needed or requested. All pets in our care must be up-to-date on vaccinations to ensure a healthy environment for everyone. I closely supervise interactions between dogs and make sure play is safe and appropriate. Our three German Shepherds are well-trained and friendly, offering companionship and socialization opportunities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and maintain your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, structure, and lots of love. 🐾

“J (as she likes to be called) is the best! She was quickly responsive every time I wanted a text update on my two dogs and cat. She and her son apparently played with the dogs, too. When it rained and the dogs came into the house with muddy feet, she asked where the mop was to clean up after them. She brought the mail in and put it all in the designated box and when the box was full, she got another box. I would certainly recommend her and when we go away again I will rehire her.”

“My first time using rover. She House sat and looked after our dog for 4 days, on short notice. Came back, dog was happy, and house was taken care of. Would hire again!”

About: I love dogs and cats, taking care of them is my favorite thing in the world. Pets are truly a man’s bestfriend. They bring so much happiness to our everyday lives. As someone who’s rescued my now dog, i’ve gathered the knowledge in how to gain their trust and make them feel at home. A loving environment and a loving guardian will allow a dog to be their best selves which enables trust and respect. My goal is to always make any pet feel loved and comfortable. I love going on walks, being outdoors, and visiting the park. As a dog owner, i know that outdoor activities are a super important part of a healthy dog’s lifestyle. A healthy dog is always a happy dog. I’m currently a full-time college student, while also completely an internship, but my schedule is flexible. Usually during the week I am always free after 4. Weekends i’m free whenever! But with winter break coming up, i’ll have even more free time! I have two dogs. My dog named bubba who I rescued about 4 years ago. And my sisters dog that I care for, Leia. She is a jack russel and pitbull mix. Bubba is mixed with chihuahua, pitbull, and weenie dog. He’s pretty small and absolutely loves to play with other dogs! He’s very friendly and super energetic. Leia is also a rescue, but she’s been through a lot more than Bubba has. So she’s very anxious and reactive, but she’s such a sweetheart once she trusts you. Trust is so important for me when building a relationship with any animal. They have to feel safe around you in order to be their best selves. Having a reactive dog, I am very patient and understanding with her needs. This have given me plenty of experience on how to handle reactive dogs.

“Lauren did an awesome job with our 3 dogs! She stayed with them for 5 nights and took great care of them while we were across the country. She also sent us pictures through the day to show that they were doing well and by the end of it I could tell they had a new best friend!”

About: I've looked after pets of all kinds including, cats, dogs, pigs, chickens and ducks to name a few. I have a good 7.5 years of experience under my belt and I have a high attention to detail to make sure that your fuzzy member of the family is getting top quality care. I am available Saturday through Tuesday, as those are my current days off. A typical day with your pet would include walks as many times a day as necessary, meals whenever they are typically had and plenty of play and relaxation throughout the day. If I have a meeting/appointment or need to leave the house for a bit, your pet won't be left alone for more than four hours. When I come to stay with your pet, I'll make it seem as though you never left. I'll do my absolute best to ensure they can continue their daily routines as they always do without skipping a beat. They will receive all the love and care I can muster, including snuggles and hugs a plenty. Making sure they are fed and clean so you can come home to a healthy pet.

About: All my life growing up we had dogs of different kinds. I was always the one that mainly fed and watered the dogs and made sure they had potty breaks and walked them things of that nature. Even friends and neighbors asked me to walk their dogs. 15 years ago I got my boy cujo and he's been my son ever since. He is my world. He saved my life and I owe him the world. Now I have a second dog and I wouldn't change it for anything. I have trained both of my dogs. Cujo can sit, lay down, shake, speak, roll over, and stay. Daisy is still a work in progress being a pup. I currently work part-time maybe one or two days a week so I have plenty of time to spend and play with your pets and help train them and walk them and bathe them and whatever they need. Dogs love unconditionally and I love dogs the same I do have a fenced-in yard and two of my own dogs plus two other dogs at the house that would love to play with other dogs. I can also create your dogs if need be but I prefer to let them run and play as they wish

About: I have taken care of dogs & cats of any age or breed while raising 3 daughters. Friends in our community and family members have reached out to me to take care of & feed their pets overnight for a long weekend or up to 10 days. I am retired for the past 7 years, so I have a lot of flexibility in my days to fit pet care into my daily or weekly routine. Where I’ve been living for the past 6 years, fur babies were not allowed. So my taking care of others pets in their homes fulfilled that void. We are now located in Magalia since June and settling into our new home.

“Wonderfully , easy caring towards bailey and lulu understanding their individual personalities. Respectful = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: With years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From daily walks and feeding routines to playtime, overnight sitting, and attentive companionship, I understand how important trust and consistency are when it comes to your pets. I treat every dog as if they were my own, focusing on safety, comfort, and individual needs to ensure they feel happy and secure while in my care.

This includes regular feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort at all times, and I carefully follow any instructions provided by the owner, including medication needs, training guidelines, and special preferences. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident and at ease while their pet is in my care. I have an apartment with plenty of space and a big grassy park area to let your pet run around and play ball!

From daily updates to extra belly rubs, I’m here to make both you and your pet feel at ease. I also love sending updates to pet parents, so you can feel more comfortable while you’re away :) I am a hairstylist in Chico & I also work at a restaurant as well. My schedule constantly fluctuates but I would for sure be able to feed pets in the morning & night and let them out at least a few times a day! I love all kinds of pets! I love taking my dogs on walks and throwing the ball around for them. I like to let them outside as much as possible so they can get all their energy out

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have years of experience caring for them through 4-H and raising livestock. I’m comfortable handling animals, feeding them, exercising them, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for pets during the week and weekends. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I make sure pets always have fresh water, food, exercise, and lots of attention. I follow any instructions you leave closely and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life, I’m aspiring to be a veterinarian so more experience with animals is always needed! I absolutely love dogs and cats. Im currently a full time student-athlete, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I am free weekends, from 6-12 on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 5-10 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am willing to learn how other owners take care of their animals! Since I am currently in college I don’t have any animals in my home.

“We love Tyler and more importantly, our dogs love and feel totally comfortable w him. One dog needs special meds and Tyler was great about administering them.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and pets of all kinds for over 2 years. I started pet sitting at a young age for neighbors, friends, and family, and it quickly became something people regularly relied on me for. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving lots of love and attention to pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m very patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I always make sure to follow each pet’s routine and care instructions exactly as given. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, so I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable caring for energetic dogs, shy or anxious pets, and senior animals who may need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable following medication and special care routines if needed. I always make sure pet parents receive updates and photos so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my responsibilities, which allows me to be consistent, reliable, and flexible when it comes to visits, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Since I’m already used to caring for my own cat, Selene, daily pet care is a normal part of my life. I make sure every pet gets the time and attention they need, whether that’s scheduled drop-in visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, or just spending time keeping them company. I’m very organized and good at sticking to routines, so following each pet’s specific care instructions and schedule is never a problem for me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, and make sure litter boxes are cleaned, water is refreshed, and the home is left tidy. I make sure each animal gets the right balance of playtime, affection, and calm companionship depending on their personality. I always move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious fur babies, and never force interaction. My goal is to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and secure in their own environment while their owner is away. I also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is being well cared for.

About: I have volunteered extensively at my local animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs of all temperaments and energy levels. During my time there, I learned effective ways to provide mental enrichment, exercise, and positive interactions to keep dogs happy and stimulated. I am currently an Animal Science major, which has strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, health, and proper care practices. I am passionate about providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am currently working part-time which means I have availability every day! I will only be available in the afternoons on weekdays. On the weekend my schedule will vary. I have had my dog for 8 years, and two years ago, we welcomed a brother into our family. I devote most of my time to ensuring they are happy and safe, as they truly feel like my babies. I'm also majoring in Animal Science at Chico State, where I'm eager to deepen my knowledge and understanding of animals
