Pet care experience

No dog too big or small!

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for pets since I was 11. I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors since I was 14. I have volunteered at the SPCA (animal shelter) since I was 16. I now lead my college dog walking/shelter volunteering club (STEP) as vice president, and truly love caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities!

House Sitting • Jun 23, 2026

Cali house sat for us and watched our 2 dogs and cat. The animals are healthy and the house was left tidy. We did a meet and greet beforehand and she was great with the animals. She brought a guest inside the house without asking if it would be ok. We only know about it from our ring doorbell. She left the property with the door unlocked multiple times and did not utilize our security alarm. She took the dogs on a walk twice over the 4 day stay when we requested daily walks. She cleaned the litterbox but did not pooper scoop the yard. She left the blinds down which our dog destroyed (instructions asked that the blinds are up when leaving the house). She did send photo updates which I appreciated and helped quell my anxiety a bit.

Cali was awesome! She sent us updates throughout her stay and left the place nice and tidy. We felt very comfortable having her watch our Benny. Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely book her again!

Dog Walking • Jun 05, 2026

Calista was great with Luna. She was very commutative and she was able to walk my dog twice last minute when I got stuck at work. I will defiantly rebook if it is needed in the future.

Calista has pet sat for me numerous times. I’ve seen her interact with and care for dogs of all sizes, including walking and playing with my roughly 100 pound Great Dane Molly, as well as my 11 pound yorkie Veronica. She is responsible and loving, and clearly very comfortable around them. would highly recommend her as a pet caregiver.
