“Jocelyn was so helpful in watching our chickens while we were out of town! She was prompt, sent updates with pictures, and did more than we asked for like giving them treats. Thank you Jocelyn!! Would recommend.”

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.

“Tylyn did a great job!!! While on vacation my daughter s visited my home and unfortunately Rascal my indoor only cat got out of the house. Tylyn informed me and explained the steps she had already taken to attempt to catch Rascal, even thinking of things I had not thought of. She visited my house twice a day even though she was only supposed to visit once she made every effort possible to help with the return of Rascal. Tylyn is personable and I feel that she truly loves the pets she cares for. I have used Tylyn in the past and I will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a loving, capable and trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I’ve studied dog behavior and cared for my own two with an attentive focus on meeting their needs to build a bond. I bring calm energy and heightened observation to pick up on cues like hunger, boredom, apprehension, and curiosity. My goal is to use all information provided by the owner to be an effective caretaker. I enjoy dogs in every sense of the word, and hope to build a bond they can rely on when being around me. I am reliable and a prompt responder in owner communications. I am currently available a good percentage of the week as I am typically substitute teaching as a main source of income. During the school year, I am available most weekends (Fri- Sun). My current pets are indoor cats. Both of my dogs lived into their teens but have crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a daily play and engagement routine, a feeding routine, and allow them the space they need to explore or just snooze. When I supervise other pets, I follow the routines defined by the owner and attempt to meet 100% of all pet needs.

About: Lifelong animal lover devoted to their wellbeing and happiness. Trusted for reliable, compassionate care and always ready to help with kindness, gentleness, patience and heart. 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. Starting late August, I’ll be in school, and my hours may shift—but I’ll always do my best to stay flexible for you and your furry friends! I currently live in an apartment. I have two cats who I love dearly I spoil them like they would be my kids they love to cuddle play, and I always treat their needs whenever they need me.

“Whitney was fantastic! On time, sent cute pictures to put my pet parent anxiety at ease, and had the dogs fed/pottied/happy by the time I returned. Will absolutely use again!”

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!

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.

About: As an enthusiastic pet lover with a full-time job at a pet store and the proud owner of two adorable cats, I have immersed myself in the world of pet care for years. Growing up with dogs has instilled a deep understanding of canine behavior, while my feline companions have given me unique insights into the needs and quirks of our feline friends. This combined experience allows me to cater to both dogs and cats with the utmost love, attention, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around your pet’s comfort—ensuring regular potty breaks every 4–8 hours, meals on time, play sessions, and lots of affection. Whether it’s a short visit or a longer stay, I make sure your pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for. Compassion First: I treat every pet like family, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness. Experience Counts: My experience at a pet store and as a multi-pet owner has taught me how to handle a wide range of behaviors, dietary needs, and situations—whether it’s picky eating, anxiety, or energetic zoomies. Tailored Care: I adapt to each pet’s routine, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding schedules, administer medications, or work with special needs pets.

About: I have cared for animals for five decades. I have had mostly dogs and cats but have also cared for hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, turtles, lizards, snakes, tarantulas, parakeets, aquarium and pond fish, chickens, ducks, geese, goats, ponies, horses, and even injured wild baby squirrels and baby birds. As a veterinary receptionist, I was trained as a backroom assistant to prepare medication, administer injections and assist with minor procedures and surgeries. I have had as many as nine cats and three dogs at the same time, so know how to multitask and prioritize needs. I am confident that I could fit the necessary care into my schedule. I have never had a problem with cleaning up after myself and my critters. I strive to have animals feel safe in their environments and secure in my presence. I believe that pets are special members of the family. I have a kind of grandma personality and enjoy quiet snuggle moments with elder, lonely and mellow pets as much as learning their favorite activities.

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'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.
