About: I am a student at Butte College and I have been involved with animals for years, I have lived with 9 cats, over 80 dogs (my mom used to be a breeder), a chinchilla, horses, reptiles and fish. Animals have always been extremely special to me and I would love to surround myself with them for work! Im super friendly, patient and flexible. I can also water plants. I am extremely knowledgeable in the plant world. I can tend, water, and give some advice/ tips if you happen to own any! I work at a local cafe in Chico. I usually work mornings with my days completely free. Which also means I can be up early if need be. I move to Portland in April so I am accepting until then. I will be fully online next semester so my work schedule is all that I should have going on for me. :) I currently live at my parents house to save before leaving. I have had my dog for over a year and got her as a puppy. She herself is a very high energy dog and I am able to tackle the daily task of having a toddler that is my dog. I am able to drive to anyones home in order to care for their pets but I cannot host any pets.
17. Jacinda G.
“Jacinda has been watching my dogs for the last 5-6 years now and is amazing. They absolutely LOVE her - I always say “your best friend is here!” and they know exactly who it is and get so excited. She cares for them like they are her own and I’m also reassured when she’s with them. It’s always hard to leave your doggos but when I do, knowing she’s there is an immediate comfort!”

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.
