“She did a great job taking care of our four cats. She proved herself to be reliable and responsible. Will use her again in the future.”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty with Courtney! I know cats have a reputation for being independent but some (mine) still need plenty of attention while we’re away and I was glad to know Courtney understood gets it. Courtney was great, especially if you have a kitty that wants more during a visit than a full food bowl.”

Rachel P.

“What a wonderful sitter! My two cats were so well cared for and updates were helpful and cute:) Thsnk you!”

About: I was raised with a puppy and have had many dogs since—they truly make my heart melt! Dogs are so special, and I love giving them all the playtime, fun, and enrichment they need to stay happy and healthy. I’m all about keeping tails wagging with love, attention, and care they can count on. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I prioritize feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’m currently working part-time and in school twice a week, but I have a light schedule that leaves me with plenty of free time to dedicate to your pet’s care. I stay organized and make sure to follow each pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I’m attentive and respectful of their routines and environment. I’m a quick learner and follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet gets the best care possible. I also know when to take initiative and solve problems calmly to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable.

About: I have owned two large dogs before a German Shepard, and a lab Shepard mix . I also understand that some dogs are energetic and need more exercise so I am patient with those doggos too! I am also attentive to their health and body language and I will communicate with you whether I notice anything concerning. I work full time from 8-5pm Mon-Friday. I am available early mornings before 7am or after 5pm on the weekdays and any time on the weekends. I cannot board dogs or cats however I am more than happy to watch them in their home! I will also be attentive to specific care instructions for your pets.

About: Hi, I’m Lana (short for Svetlana). I’ve always had a deep love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand every pet is different and adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that means a slower, gentler pace for senior dogs, active playtime for puppies, or simply keeping them comfortable and relaxed. I’ve also had the unique experience of walking dogs down the aisle at weddings and caring for them throughout the event, so couples can fully enjoy their special day. I stay calm, reliable, and confident in both everyday care and high-energy, special moments. It’s important to me that every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the attention they deserve. I work full-time during the week with two days from home, but on the weekends, my schedule is completely open and I can ensure potty breaks every 1-2 hours. Just let me know what your dog’s needs are :) We sure can work it out. I will always make sure to never leave your dog unattended. Your dog deserves attention and safety is very important to all of us. I will care for your dog as if it’s my own.

About: I've taken care of family and friend family pets growing up. My mom set up daycare for children and families would bring their pets often. (Watching my mommies growing up was my first experience and I now enjoying caring for others on my own leisure time) On my personal time, I've taken care of colleagues and friends family pets. My chihuahua will come with me on home visits otherwise I will require 1 hour break to go home to feed/walk my furbaby. I live by Bacara, I have the backyard that leads to Ellwood preserve. I do not use dog food to feed due to the high sodium, I cook meals using protein, veggies and Japanese potato. I'm happy to walk/care for family pets starting at 6am and latest walk at 6pm unless you are requesting overnight. Bed time is by 9pm or earlier. I have trim pets hair and given baths, this is complimentary for overnight stays even for 1 day. I have the materials and only cut hair by hand. I will keep majority of the hair 🙂 so you will not return surprised, your furbaby will look rejuvenated and polished 💖 I treat all furbaby as my own and cook extra portion for yours. I will walk the dogs together, 3 max at a time including my chihuahua. My chihuahua is allowed everywhere in my home so your furbaby is allowed to go anywhere except for kitchen when I'm cooking. Walks happen every 4 hours unless we are sleeping. I do not crate any furbaby so will not take you if this is something you request, I believe family pets should be included so will be in couch or bed. If they are in the floor every room has a fluffy bed. I do not have cat climbing build, only fuzzy beds! 🐾

“Ashley did a wonderful job caring for my 2 cats while I was away! One of my cats is shy and requires daily medication, and she handled both without any issues. She kept up with feeding, cleaned the litter box, and was very communicative — sending daily pictures and updates that gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Ashley as a pet sitter!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

About: I love animals. They are so precious and cannot speak and complain, I feel as a person to protect and love them. I grow up on a farm and love nature and animals. I live in Malibu, California, and I have my own interior inspired business. I am very clean, organized, conscientious and respectful. I have my own business and therefore I am very flexible since I work for myself remotely. My work takes a little of my time so I can spend more time caring for your animals and home. I care for your pets and home like I care for mine, with upmost care, respect and attention. I think the most important word here is "care" I truly do. I am very organized and clean making sure your pets and home looks better after me attending and caring for them.

About: ** My next available dates for Board & Train are January 6-11 & 18-24th within 15 mins of central Austin. I have a BA in Photography from the University of Texas at Austin, so I can take really great pictures of your pets, but most importantly, I am a high functioning, detail oriented empath with over 6 years of full-time canine training experience. My specialty is with sporting dogs and fear/hyperactive cases of all kinds, but I also have some training experience with cats and horses. I am based in Austin, Texas and will be doing training as I travel the US seasonally. I just completed 4 months in the St. Louis area, and am currently working through the end of November in the Vail Valley of Colorado! Check me out at Super Simple Dog Training. My base housesitting service offering will give you peace of mind knowing that your dog's "non-ideal" behaviors will likely get a little better, depending of the duration of the stay; This outcome is simply based on my normal behavioral expectations and keeping the undesirable behaviors from continuing to be a daily habit. If you are need of a combination of training and in-home boarding/housesitting, I offer my Board & Train Service to those who have completed 2 or more private training sessions (zoom sessions do the trick). If you would like to learn more about how the B&T program works, feel free to drop me a line and we can set up a complimentary introduction chat! I am a full time dog trainer and have been for the past 6 years. Your pet and home will have my full attention during the contracted stay. At this time, I only offer boarding services at the home of the client. This is because dogs learn visually and situationally, so it's important for the training work to be done in the animal's home in order to get the most bang for your buck.

“Presly did a great job watching my cat. Much appreciated.”

About: I was a nanny over the last several years and always easily got acquainted with whichever household pets came with my jobs. I am confident with animals and easily make a connection. I am gentle and kind and I’ve never had had a problem with any animals, I have run into or cared for. I currently just moved back to Santa Barbara and do a little pet sitting already. But I’m looking to expand my platform. I have an open schedule and want to have a Part-time job that I enjoy doing. I am happy to provide, whichever services are needed per sitting. If that means, it’s a walk, feeding, overnight, just some friendly attention or etc, I am more than happy to provide anything.

About: I've been taking care of pets for my family, and have watched the pets of others for my whole life! I have watched dogs that require a lot of attention, as well as cats that require oral medication. I can work with your pets needs!

At my grandparents house, I help take care of their dogs, and watch them while my grandparents are out of town. I can easily care for your pets within your home. I'm happy to go on long or short walks, stick to feeding/medication schedules, and anything else that your pet needs!
