About: I have always grown up with animals, specifically large to medium dogs, so they've been a part of my life always. I do not have certified training but have trained my own personal companions, a great white Pyrenees and English pointer, and they are very clever! I am always looking to broaden my scope! I also love long walks and play time! I work a typical 9-5, but weekends are typically most available. Sometimes I get home early when the work is done and can be available usually after 2PM weekdays. I have a very flexible work schedule, shoot me a message and we can set something up to best suit your pets' needs. I currently stay in a spaceous 2-bedroom apartment in Chico on a quiet, and beautiful residential road. There are several outdoor green space and many options for trailheads and the bike path is just next door for those that like longer walks! I keep my place very clean and share with my furry roommate (cat Sasha) as seen in my profile photos. She loves both dogs and cats and can be easily kept away from your pet if need be if your pet prefers one on one time. I included a photo of my layout for those with smaller to medium dogs it would be very comfortable as doggy daycare in my home. I also pride myself in maintaining general cleanliness both in your home and mine. I'm happy to clean litter boxes, pick up doggy droppings, brush and clean fur, or whatever is requested within reason, just ask!

“Lauren is wonderful! She is professional, friendly, and takes excellent care of our fur baby. While I hate to leave my cat for extended periods, it’s a great comfort knowing that she’s the one taking care of him. I will definitely book with her again.”

“Holly took great care of our cat who is ill. We really appreciated the thoughtful care and good communication. Also appreciated that she offered to come over ahead of time to get oriented with our home and routines. Thank you Holly!”

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart as I have had several dogs since I was born that were all well loved. I offer loving, reliable care with plenty of play, cuddles, and attention to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a walk, a weekend stay, or just some company while you're away, I treat every animal like my own. With experience, patience, and a calming presence, your pets will be in safe, happy hands if you decide to choose me to be your sitter. I currently have a lot of availability as I am not in school, but without a job. Thursdays I dont have any method of transportation other than walking or biking so I will only accept walking distance jobs on those days. I'm available any time between 10am and 7pm for non-overnight jobs. When caring for someones fur baby, I make sure to follow the owner's instructions carefully, keeping the pet’s routine consistent. I provide fresh food and water, ensure plenty of playtime, walks, or cuddles depending on their needs, and keep their environment clean and safe. I also send regular updates and photos to reassure the owner. Most importantly, I treat their pet as if they were my own, giving them love, patience, and attention throughout my stay.

“Emily watched our two beagle boys for Labor Day weekend last minute. She was accommodating, sent pictures, updates, and kept our house tidy (even washing the bedding before she left). I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 15 years. I’ve been entrusted with all dogs from puppies to elderly and as well as strict diets or extreme schedules. I have a true connection to dogs and love being active outside and having a four legged friend with! I have personally worked with my own animals on training, behavior and social settings. I would love to be able to help with any of your dog needs! I currently work full time clinic hours Monday through Friday with a flexible hour lunch. The weekends I’m usually fully available. I get up early a few hour before work as well if there are any early morning needs. I have a fenced yard and an animal free household. We love dogs but do not have any of our own at the moment. I’m in a safe new neighborhood about 6-10 minutes from hooker oak and Bidwell.

“Jason was wonderful with our dogs! He came and stayed in our home so the pups could be in their own environment while we were away, and they loved every minute with him. We got so many videos and pictures from him too! And I think my house was cleaner than when we left! Jason is trustworthy and we will definitely be using him again in the future. Jazzy and Junior say thanks Jason!!”

“Alyson was fantastic. We have three dogs, two of which are older and she took amazing care of them. She administered medicine, gave us constant status updates and took care of our pets and home as it if was hers. She will definitely be our sitter moving forward and can't say enough good things about her.”

Flexible Pet Care Around Your Schedule! I currently work part-time from 2–7 PM or 3–7 PM, so I’m available mornings and evenings to help with all your pet’s needs—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy companionship.

About: I have watched, walked and taken care of several different types of dogs and cats over the years for family, friends and neighbors. I am reliable and will care for your loved furry family member as if it was my own. I work full time but am partly remote and have flexibility to stop by during the day and am available mornings, evenings and most weekends. I am respectful of your space and home when taking of your animal and only go in areas where I need to take care of them.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, and even birds! Animals tend to be very calm around me thanks to my demeanor. This is good because it allows me to provide quality care for them. I am a full time student and I work for a private contractor fabricating and installing granite, tile, and cabinetry. This means I won't be available most work days until at least 5 pm, but after that point I can provide the best care to all pets all the way until the next morning when I would have to leave for school or work again. I can't bring pets to my home but at my clients home, I can provide the best care. Walks, playtime, mentally stimulating games and more!

“I highly recommend Athena for your housesitting and pet care. She is a kind and caring young woman who took great care of my little Boston Terrier and our home. She is very responsive and would ask her to house sit again for sure.”

“Gloria house/pet sat my dog and cat for ten days. She was wonderful. She spent lots of time with her and they enjoyed their lap sitting. She sent pictures of them every day. Gloria is very dependable, responsible, punctual and pleasant. When I got back she was here to greet me - and my house was cleaner than when I left.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 29 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments - from bouncy puppies to slow-moving seniors. I'm skilled in administering medications (including pills, injections, and IVs), managing special diets, and caring for dogs with medical or behavioral needs. Whether your pup just needs a walk or specialized care, you can count on me to treat them like family, with calm confidence, compassion, and expertise. I’m available for walks, feedings, check-ins, and other pet care Monday through Friday after 1:30 PM. I work from home, which means I can also stay overnight with your pets when needed, for animals who do best with companionship. I'm fully available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, making weekends great for longer visits, extended stays, or special care routines. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible - including feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including seniors and those needing special medical care. I also work from home with my shift ending at 1:30 PM, which gives me flexibility for overnight stays and multiple check-ins, especially helpful for pets who need extra attention or companionship. I’ve also cared for a variety of farm animals - so whether it’s a shy pup, a senior dog with meds, or a whole animal crew, you can trust they’ll be in experienced, loving hands.

“Kelly took great care of our 2 labs and 1 kitten for the weekend while we were out of town. She was consistent about communicating with me, took excellent care of the animals and the house, left everything clean and tidy. I would definitely book her again.”
