Sequoia took care of my asthmatic cat for a week including giving her meds and food. She did a really good job with all of the specifics and sent me updates every so often.

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!

Kaitlyn is awesome! She was able to dog sit Wally at my house on short notice. She was punctual and professional. She was really sweet and kind to Wally. She took great care of him and I know he loved having her with him while I was gone.

From the moment we met, she put me at ease with her calm demeanor and obvious love for animals. She took excellent care of my dog, making sure he got plenty of exercise, attention, and love while I was away. Jessica kept me updated with photos and messages, which really reassured me that he was in great hands. She went above and beyond, even taking extra time to give him a special treat and ensure he felt comfortable. I came home to a happy, healthy pup and could tell that Jessica truly cared about his well-being. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!

Ellie was great! She showed up on time which gave her enough time to get acquainted with our pup. When we returned from our night out, our dog was relaxed and happy. I would highly recommend Ellie to anyone.

We had a great experience with Tess while she stayed in our home to watch over our Doberman pup, Kobe, for 3 nights. He can definitely be a handful, but she handled it. She is very sweet, good communicator, neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend!

Hi there! I have known Alyssa since 2006 and she has been one of the kindest people I have ever known. She is very responsible, punctual, easy going, down to earth, and honest. She loves animals and even owns several of her own pets. You would be lucky to have someone like her walk your dog!

4 years of experience

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.

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.
