Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional+Volunteer Animal Care
Hello! I have been a dog owner and have kept aquariums both as a hobby and professionally for 10+ years. I have over 425 volunteer hours logged combined as an aquarist with the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and with the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter. As a personal assistant, baby sitter and dog sitter, I am professional, detail-oriented, friendly and motivated to engage with your pets and give the highest quality care I can. As of this summer, I have graduated with a Bachelors in Biology from UC Santa Cruz, where I worked within two different labs focused on invertebrate and fish research and husbandry tasks, as well as a front desk admin and floor manager at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. I currently work as a contract field scientist with the Bureau of Land Management, based in Santa Fe.

I will go over with you a detailed questionnaire to determine all aspects of your pet's care and schedule, and send update messages at least once a day.
Ratings and reviews
She’s fabulous. Not only did my dog love her, I made a new friend too. I feel so comfortable with her at the house and taking care of Peachy. ❤️ Thank you!!!!
Bianca was a wonderful dog sitter. I felt safe to leave my dog who was healing from surgery with her. She took excellent care of him and was thoughtful about every aspect of taking care of Vala. I would definitely recommend her services
Bianca was great. Attentive, responsive, communicative. Would ask her to tend to doggo and house again if the need arises.
Bianca was outstanding! She house/pet sat for our two dogs while we were away for 10 days. We received daily updates and photos. She let us know details about the dogs and our house was perfect when we returned. Her experience with animals and understanding of behaviors is clear. Would highly recommend her!!

- Please let me know if any medications, feeding and potty schedules, behavioral and aggression triggers your dog or cat may have (ie food or toy guarding, breed-specific aversions to other dogs).
