About: I have taken care of fur babies since I was a child. I am currently 55 years old, so a very long time! I lived on a ranch for a good portion of my life with all types of animals, from kittens and puppies, to cattle and horses. I have fostered litters of kittens for roughly 10 years. No pet is too complicated for me! (Except maybe snakes) My schedule is kept open for pet care. It helps me stay motivated when I get to play catch with and love on the kitties and doggies I have a fenced in large backyard with no holes. I do have two pet friendly dogs and two pet friendly cats in my home and they are all great with other animals. I believe that it is important to respect other people’s homes and care for their pets as if they were my own. Pets are not only companions, they are family members.

About: I have always been the go to person when it comes to pet sitting and dog walking. I have had my own reactive dog for the last 6 years and attend training classes with her every week. Which has helped me learn even more skills when it comes to dog care. I currently only do this. So my schedule is very open. I take my own dog out to play early in the morning because of the summer heat. So once I’ve taken care of mine, I am free! I am comfortable coming to your home. I can either play with your dog at your house, or take them out on a walk. I also love cats and have one of my own. So I am willing to check on cats, give medicine, clean litter boxes, and play.

“Thank you, Alisa, for taking gentle care of Inyo while I was away. Alisa was very kind and vigilant with my aggressive senior pittie. Thanks!”

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.

“Ted went on his walk. We came home the following morning and it is clear he was well taken care of!”

About: I’ve been exposed to caring for animals all my life as my grandma has run a non profit animal rescue for many years. From volunteering at her shop, to helping her care for animals at home, I’ve done everything from grooming dogs to syringe feeding baby birds! I love helping people and animals alike I have flexible hours with my day job and I’m looking to get some exercise while earning some extra money since my wife and I just had our first baby! I’m open to drop ins and daily walks! My two amazing Boston terriers live with us and have a fenced in back yard that they love to play in. I’m sure they’ll be very curious every time I come home smelling like another dog

About: I work full time as a Behavioral Health and Recovery Services Case Manager. I work from home Monday-Friday, and I am home on the weekends. I had 3 dogs 2 Yorkies and 1 Morkie Maltese/Yorkie. My eldest Yorkie dog died 5 years ago and it broke our hearts. We have her urn on our mantel. I made a promise along with my 28 year old daughter to care for other dogs in her memory. I thought this would be a great way to start. I love pets and am willing to extend that love to others pets. Please make sure that your dogs get along with other dogs. As you know I have one small dog. I do not cage dogs unless the client wants their pet crated. All dogs and cats sleep inside. My home is very clean so I am constantly cleaning after the pets. I am currently working from home, so I am home all day to take care of your fur babies and I will take them out every two-three hours. I have the whole back yard that we can play fetch or they can just relax in the sun like my dogs do. We can also go on walks to the park on the corner. I will always keep water available and follow any special feeding and medication instructions you have.

About: I was born and raised surrounded by animals. I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I can remember. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, trained and take care of their dogs. We are German Shepherd breeders and we work from home. We will be able to be present with your dog as much time as needed. We take our dogs to the park, stores, etc, for training purposes. We have a fenced backyard and three German Shepherds to keep company with your fur baby. We have kennels and different crate sizes to crate your baby if needed/requested. We required that all the dogs we board are vaccinated for health reasons.

About: I have a deep passion for animal and plant care. My experience comes from 7yr as a dedicated farm hand and caregiver for pets of friends & family. Currently on summer break before massage therapy school starts. My availability is wide open all summer and I can't wait to spend it with your pets. Attention and focus of caring for each animals needs are the highest priority. Ensuring their well being and happiness. Walks & running, play, food and water

About: I’m here to help make sure your pet(s) are cared for when you have a busy day or week. Can’t take your furry friend on vacation? No problem! I can help you out :) If your pet has special requirements, just let me know & I will make sure they feel supported. I have been caring for animals since I can remember... and in the past 15 years started caring for the pets of family, friends, and clients. I have experience with both large and small breeds. Caring for pets fits well with my lifestyle; I enjoy taking pups for walks outside. It’s also a fun break in the day to drop in for a care visit & give your pets some time and attention. When house sitting, I like to make sure your pet gets exercise earlier in the day. This helps improve their mood, appetite, and overall behavior while their usual human is away. We’ll stick to the house rules like mealtimes & furniture preferences, but I mighttt sneak an extra treat in here and there (unless you request I refrain from spoiling.)

About: My first job at 16 was bathing dogs for Silver Scissors Pet Grooming and assisting with boarding pets at Wild Iris Kennels, both are family businesses so it’s safe to say I was raised in the animal care industry. I’ve been an animal lover since birth, and I believe all pets should feel like they’re on vacation while you’re on yours! I would love to put your mind at ease while you’re away and check in on your furry friends while they reside in the comfort of their own home. I have experience with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and all different breeds/types. I have experience with medication administration and strict dietary restrictions. I work full time from home so I am able to provide early morning, and evening check ins. If needed, I can also provide an afternoon/lunchtime drop in visit I am a very organized, observant, and honest caregiver. I understand firsthand how our pets are equal members of our families and deserve the care and attention you would give to a human family member. I have no problems working under surveillance, or sending regular photos to you of your pets while you’re away. I am available 24/7 and can usually provide near immediate responses to calls/texts.

“Kena was great! Definitely would work with her again!”

About: Hello my experience with dogs is caring and loving for them and walking them im good at realizing different behaviors and attitudes. I have a beautiful red nose pit bull myself Pet care fits in my daily and weekly routine because I run my own business from home.

I also am happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending. extra time for snuggle sessions while I'm there!

“Taylor did a wonderful job walking our two dogs. She was prompt and reliable. She came everyday and took our 8 month old golden doodle to the school playground and threw the ball for her so she could run around. She came every other day and took our 8 year old mix for a walk. She was great. She communicated with me and let me know how the dogs were doing. She helped think of a plan that was the best for the dogs. I will totally use her in the future when I need dog walking/playing services. I feel fortunate to have found her. Thanks Taylor!”

About: I’ve had family dogs my entire life (usually Great Danes or labs), I fostered a litter of puppies in college (that was a learning experience for sure), and then got my own dog, Chewy, 3 years ago. I have always loved having a furry friend around and am constantly taking chewy on walks to get him some fresh air and exercise. I think it’s important for animals to have a satisfying level of mental and physical stimulation in their day to day. If your schedule doesn’t allow for this and I can help you achieve it, i would LOVE to meet you and your fur baby! I work full time Monday-Friday from 8-5 pm in Chico. I take my dog out for walks after work everyday and would love to have yours join! I have weekends off and am available for sitting those days. If you are looking for drop ins, I can do that locally during the week on my lunch breaks or anytime on the weekends :) I can adhere to any guidelines you have for your fur baby in your house. I would require you provide the leash for your dogs walks and food to match their normal diet for sitting and drop ins. Other than that, I hav plenty of toys I can bring and if you would like, I have my own dog that I can bring for a play date or walks to keep you pup extra entertained and Comfortable!
