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. 🐾

I'm flexible and prioritize clear, consistent communication to coordinate what works best for you and your pet. I provide calm, in-home care by sticking closely to your pet's routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy, and that your pets feel safe and secure while you're away.

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.

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.

Anne is awesome, we’ve only had our pooch for about 6 weeks and she’s a rescue so we were a little nervous to leave her so soon. However. Anne, came into our home and gently eased her way into our Maggie’s life, and very shortly Maggie was going on walks and loving being snuggled by Anne. She kept us updated frequently thru text and sent many photos Our home was just as we left it. And Maggie looked good and was happy I would highly recommend and will use her in the future

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’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science (Pre-Vet) at Chico State and working toward my Veterinary Assistant certification, which has given me hands-on experience in proper animal handling, behavior, and care. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats extensively, including volunteering at animal and cat shelters. As a pet owner myself (from a Belgian Malinois to a Chihuahua, and currently a cat), I understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. I’m also involved in Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I help train dogs; building strong skills in patience, consistency, and communication. Most importantly, I care not only about your pets but about your peace of mind. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own cat with a consistent feeding schedule, fresh water, enrichment, and medication when needed. I also regularly work with livestock, keeping me active in hands-on animal care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, and I take care to remove any potential hazards. I closely follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding routines, medications, and any specific care needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe and stress-free. I also carry basic animal first aid supplies and am prepared to respond calmly in case of emergencies. Building trust with pet parents is just as important to me as caring for their pets. I provide updates, communicate clearly, and aim to give helpful feedback when needed. My goal is for you to feel completely confident while you’re away and to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet.

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for about 15 years and have always loved them! I am very reliable for walking, sitting, feeding and bathing pets. I no longer have pets in my home, but previously did and loved them more than anything! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m mostly available weekends and some week days, I am very flexible. I have a fenced yard so my pets are well trained. I have a big and a small dog so I know a lot of the differences between the two and what they both require! I am always making sure they have water/ food and pay attention to potty breaks.

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.

About: Growing up I have lived with all different breeds and temperaments, from a feisty Chihuahua to a sensitive Rottweiler and I currently have a tripod standard poodle. I believe that all dogs are extremely different and take require a caring approach. When in your pets space I make sure to constantly read their body language and listen to what they have to say. Your pets comfort is my priority! I currently work a seasonal job that is on call, so I tend to have many days off that I would love to fill with four (or less) legged friends. When in the pets home I will always make sure to read body language of the pet to ensure a smooth transition to either me being in their space or to a walk. I love to reinforce positive associations with me through owner approved treats and rewards!

About: I’ve been around all kinds of dogs since I was young. I have always loved being around dogs(and cats!), I definitely bond better with animals than humans. I love my mini Australian shepherd, Ollie, with my whole entire heart, and I would love your pets as well💕 I work part time, so I am available pretty much always! The days I work, it is from 5:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. so I would have the rest of the day to hang with your animals! Now that summer is here and school is over, my availability is even more open. I am able to follow any expectations or requests left concerning your pets! I will not be boarding other’s pets in my own home however, I am only available for home stay in overnight situations.

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: About Me Hi! My name is Jalyssa, and I’m a 19-year-old Animal Science major currently in college with a huge passion for animal care and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve had my own dog for 15 years, where I was actively involved in daily care, training, feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure all of their needs were met. Along with caring for my own pets, I also have experience pet sitting for others and helping raise puppies and kittens, so I’m comfortable with animals that need extra patience, attention, and routine. As someone studying Animal Science, I genuinely love learning about animal health and behavior, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m looking for something productive that keeps me busy while also allowing me to do something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with and caring for animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their specific routines and needs. I pay close attention during walks, feeding times, playtime, and interactions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
