Dog Sitting in Martinez

About: I have worked with and cared for dogs of all ages(including senior care), sizes, breeds and even temperaments. I’m grateful to have grown up in a pet loving household where I learned how to properly care for dogs. Starting in my teen year I began dog-sitting quite regularly. I’m college I continued to do so and also picked up a part time job working at dog groomers bathing the dogs. Now, working full-time as a SPED Teacher, I have my own dog and help care for my parents dogs on a regular basis. I know the importance of finding someone who is reliable to help meet your pets needs whether that be feeding them, playing with them, walking them or even administering vital medicines. I want to provide the care that I would want for my own pets! I am currently a SPED Teacher. I typically work from 7:30-4:30. I would love to help with walking pets after work, feeding pets dinner, or even welcoming them into my own house to watch over for a few days as needed. I have a a 3 year Golden Retriever who is full of energy and loves to play with all dogs! I have a fenced in backyard to give your pet space to run. I have an XL crate to use if needed. I also have a park behind my house that is in walking distance that has a GREAT dog park. If you would choose for me to watch your pet from your own home. I learn quickly and with instructions given can follow your wishes to the best my ability!

“Emily always does a great job with our dog. Our dog loves to play and have a lot of attention and Emily gives it all to her when she is there. She goes the extra mile to play and have fun with her.”

About: Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who loves to play fetch or a senior dog who prefers cozy naps and gentle walks, I tailor my care to fit each dog’s unique needs. I’ve handled everything from feeding routines and medications to cuddle sessions and zoomie breaks — and I love every minute of it! Your dog isn’t just a guest — they’re treated like family. As a full-time dog care provider, my schedule revolves around the well-being and happiness of your pet. I’m available throughout the day, offering flexibility to meet your pup’s needs, whether it's early morning walks, midday playtime, or frequent potty breaks. I prioritize consistency and reliability, ensuring that each dog gets the attention, care, and exercise they deserve — every single day. With my full-time dedication, I’m able to provide a personalized experience for each dog, whether it’s a quiet day at home or an adventure-filled outing. Rest assured, your pup is always my top priority! I have 1 walk, and 1 drop in for dogs outside my home scheduled daily. This requires me to be outside the home at a time for a maximum amount of 1.5 hours per each visit depending on the distance and length of visit. Please prepare accordingly if your pet requires crating, diapers, or anxiety support during my appointment times. Potty break and treats are provided before I leave and after I return. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I've ensured that all play areas are free from hazards. I take every precaution to provide a safe space for dogs of all sizes. Pet first aid kits are in home and with us on adventures. Medicines like dog calming peanut butters and digestive help for dogs with diarrhea are on hand at no cost. I will send you a message for the ok-go to use them if they're needed. Any medications or soothing helps you have are needed and appreciated in your dogs overnight bag during their stay. Each dog gets it's own drawer so medications, treats, doggy bags, etc. don't get mixed up with other pets items during their stay. I have equipment for administering liquid medication as well. You can relax knowing your dog is in caring hands, receiving the attention, love, and supervision they need. With plenty of cozy spots for naps and lots of opportunities for play, your dog will feel right at home — and you’ll feel confident knowing they’re in a safe, loving environment. **PLEASE READ: It's rare, but on occasion I find special care and fees must be applied to some dogs I sit for. I prefer transparency so I've written the rest of this section so there are no surprises. For dogs that are found to have a penchant for rolling in poop, dogs with diarrhea that requires more than baby wipes, dogs that potty inside my home and on my belongings, and dogs that destroy belongings or furniture - any needed dog baths, privates grooming, cleaning costs, and repairs will be added to the stay or negotiated through Rover support depending on the damage. Incident documentation and photographs will be provided to you in our visit conversation. Prices for grooming will be as listed below in, "A Typical Day" and on the menu. Cleaning will be $5 for each inside potty. I can purchase diapers for owners and add them to the visit fees to prevent further necessary indoor potty cleanup. If extensive damage is done we will go through Rover. If you are aware your dog has any of these problems, please notify me before hand. I'm better able to prevent these things from happening if I know in advance and we can plan better together for the care your dog will need during their stay. Dog diapers must be provided for dogs with the bad habit of going potty indoors or for dogs in heat. I provide restroom breaks every 2 hours maximum but this is sometimes not enough for some pets. Crates are required for dogs with destructive habits. This is to ensure a safe, disease-spreading free, hygienic environment for your pet, other pets staying with us, and our family. I do 1 walk and 1 drop in for pets outside my home a day. So for pets that need crating: treats are given going in and coming out of their crate when I leave and return for positive reinforcement. Time crated lasts no longer than 1.5 hours. Potty breaks are given before and after crating. Crating will be utilized if provided during indoor potty clean up to keep your pet away from the initial bleach treatment. If not provided, pets will separated from the area by going into the bathroom. Crating is not used for time outs in our home, only safety. Dog crates remain open as a safe space for your dog to retreat to unless I'm out of home. Other than my dog care outings, I or my husband are always present.**

About: I’ve been a pet owner since 2000. My family has included dogs, cats, and fish. As an adult, I have had my own dog but, since her passing, I am looking to fill in the dog loving gaps with pet sitting! I am a nurse so I typically work 12 hour shifts three days a week. This means I have four entire days off. My work schedule is very flexible I have a fenced in large back yard with plenty of room for your pup to run. I am also comfortable with schedules and crates. I know how much I appreciated picture updates so I will be sure to return the favor

About: I absolutely love playing and taking care of animals. I grew up around animals since I was born. Any job required will get done and you will be more than satisfied with my services. I can help potty train, help with tricks, bathe the animal (if you want), & keep them happy during my visit with them or their visit with me in my home. I absolutely don’t like animal abuse so I will not hurt your love one or hit them for their mistake. I simply take care of the issue (ex: using bathroom in the house) by knowing to take them out every so often. I’m very nice and will take care and love on your pet(s) as if they were my own! Overall, please book me early in advance as my schedule can fill up. I also take care of your home as it’s my own and can help with watering plants, making sure trash goes out, getting the mail everyday and I will clean up my area when I stay at your house. I want to make you feel better when you turn home and have to do as little work as possible. I’m currently a college student onto becoming a nurse. I have plenty of time on my hand to accommodate your needs for your sweet pets I currently have a fenced in yard and have two smaller pups. One is more a senior so she’s constantly in bed but the other one has full energy and loves to be friendly with another pups to play with.

About: How owners want there furry friends to be loved is how they will be expected and treated the best way possible! They will be cared for in the best way possible.

How ever the owner wants me to take care of there furry friend I take care of them how they are expected to be loved

“Thank You Lottie! Kitties are doing well. Great communication too.”

“I was desperate for someone to help take care of my dog while I was at work but I was nervous of how he would be around a new person. I thought we would have to have several meet and greets before he everyone was comfortable going on a walk just the two of them. She came over and on the first visit she got a kiss out of him! The second visit they went on a walk together and he looked so happy to be out of the house. She made my dog and me feel comfortable and I am so glad I found her.”

About: Hi, I’m Haylie! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, living in an only child household, my pets weren’t just companions—they were family. I learned from an early age what it takes to provide full-time love, care, and attention to furry friends, whether that meant early morning walks, endless playtime, or comforting cuddles after a long day. Now, as an adult, I’m the proud pet parent of a sweet (and sometimes mischievous!) beagle, for whom I’m the primary caregiver. From managing daily exercise needs to ensuring a healthy routine, I know firsthand how important it is to have someone reliable and compassionate looking after your pet. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or a cozy cuddle session while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own—with plenty of love, patience, and belly rubs! I’d love to meet your four-legged family member and give them the best care possible. Let’s chat and see how I can help! 🐶💛 As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I’m available on weekends and weekdays when I’m not in class, making it easy to fit walks, drop-ins, and pet-sitting into my routine. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, evening playtime, or weekend cuddles. As a devoted pet parent myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your furry family members. In my own home, I’m the primary caregiver for my beloved beagle, ensuring daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and a consistent routine. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I sit, treating them like my own. I also understand the importance of meeting any medical needs, whether it’s administering medications, following special diets, or keeping a close eye on your pet’s health. You can count on me to be a responsible and reliable sitter who puts your pet’s well-being first!

About: My background sets me apart because I have a reliable and disciplined work ethic from my time in the National Guard, as well as a patient, caring approach to animals, dogs, cats, fish, and small animals. I own two chinchillas! I work part-time at Sephora and with the Georgia Army National Guard, and I’m currently waiting for my contract with the guard to end in April in order to enlist into the active duty Army by May, so I have an open and flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine and be available when needed for reliable, consistent care. I believe pets thrive best when they stay in their own familiar environment, which is why I prefer to care for them in their homes. I follow the pet’s routine closely to build trust and maintain a sense of familiarity, helping reduce stress and anxiety. I also ensure to follow any specific instructions from pet parents to ensure the pet’s well-being and comfort. I would rather pet sit your pet at home than board somewhere they do not know. 🐾

About: As a proud pet owner, I understand the unique care and attention that your pet will need to feel comfortable and loved. Whether it's playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll provide a cozy, safe environment while you're away! My schedule’s more structured now, but I’m usually available weekday evenings + Friday and Saturday. I always make time to care for your pet properly. I’m careful with everything, leashes, routines, meds, all of it. I follow directions and try to keep things as close to normal as possible so your pet feels safe and comfortable with me.
