“Amazing as always!! I couldn’t recommend Carrington enough for any service you might need. She stayed at our house while we went out of town for a week and kept in constant communication with us the entire time, not to mention the amazing photos she takes!! Our house was so clean when we got home and it was such a relief to know we could trust our pups were in good hands while we were away!”

“As usual, Christina came and went… and left our lives better! The pups adore her, we completely love and trust her. So communicative throughout the stay. All is right when she comes to stay and play!”


About: I've had pets my entire life and have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a very young girl. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, check in on, and love their animals. I'm calm, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm available for pet sitting and will give your home and pets the same care and respect I'd want for my own. I know when they are happy, sad, upset & in pain. I'm an early riser who works from home, which means I'm present during the day and evening. Pets in my care benefit from a calm, consistent environment with someone who is genuinely around — not just passing through. Morning walks, regular feeding, and attentive check-ins fit naturally into my daily routine. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect — as if it were my own. I am attentive, observant, and take the safety of every pet seriously. I maintain feeding routines, keep doors and gates secured, and stay alert to any changes in a pet's behavior or health. You will always know your pet and home are in trustworthy hands. I have very keen situational awareness.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life as well as experience watching dogs of all ages, including puppies. I am also regularly active and can handle even the most energetic of dogs. As a runner, I am open to long walks of any kind in all conditions and can ensure your dog will be in good hands. I’m a soon to be high school graduate and full time college student with previous job experience in the food service industry. That being said, I’m am pretty flexible schedule wise and will be available most times during the summer. Willing to negotiate price range to best accommodate your needs! I have a securely fenced backyard, a friendly senior aged dog, and a safe home for your pet to reside in should you need them to stay with me.
“Emily did an incredible job housesitting our two dogs Samson and Ruby! Loved getting updates on how they spent the day and all the pictures of our babies while we were on vacation! We look forward to having her watch our puppies again in the future! ❤️”

“Wow! Mooney is fantastic! I think our dog Frankie might prefer Mooney to us at this rate 😂 Mooney did such a fantastic job taking care of our dog and home. He is reliable and his communication is top notch. And most importantly, you can tell he really cares about your pet. We will absolutely use him again for future pet/home sitting.”

“Vincent was absolutely great m! He took great care of my big boys, and went above & beyond when my flights were delayed & my phone died! I appreciate him & will have him back again soon 🐾❤️🐾”
“We usually do drop ins for our kitties but did house sit this time and it worked out amazing! Jazmine is responsible, dependable, and communicative. We get a pretty detailed recap of the day and lots of videos and pictures. Of course the kitties loved it and housesit worked a lot better for my cat that picks at his food throughout the day. We didn’t have to worry at all. Ty Jazmine you are the best!!”

“Lez did a wonderful job cat and house sitting while we were out of town for the week. There was easy communication via text while we were away. Our senior cat enjoyed her company and care. We returned to a well kept home and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Lez’s services again.”

“Lisa is super communicative. I felt comfortable with her in my home and to watch my doggy. He's a super shy husky and she had the patience to work with him. Hope to have Lisa again next time :)”

“Michelle did a great job watching both my dogs. I will definitely rebook her in the future. I highly recommend Michelle. She was reliable, consistent, and was excellent with my dogs!”

About: I’ve trained and cared for many dogs throughout my life, from agility training high energy puppies, to senior canine hospice. I’ve been a volunteer with the ASPCA since December of 2023 and have deployed to their cruelty recovery center in Ohio multiple times as a volunteer kennel technician. I currently work as a veterinary assistant at a small practice in Woodland, Ca I am currently working full time Tuesday-Friday 8am-5:30pm as a veterinary assistant, and Saturdays 8am to noon, so when I’m not at work, I love to spend my time giving your pet(s) the attention and structure that they deserve! I can stay overnight with your pet, or do daily check ins starting at 6 am. Any time I leave your pet unattended I will provide them with a safe form of enrichment to keep them busy.

About: I’ve grown up with (and pet sat) tons of different animals! I can work with dogs, cats, horses, goats/sheep, birds, reptiles, rodents, you name it! Cool with feeding, watering, potty breaks, administering medicines, cleaning, etc. I’ve been doing dog training for about two years now, and am comfortable working with fearful/reactive animals too. Tons of experience across all fields! I’m a part-time college student with a lot of time on my hands! I think pets deserve all the love and attention I can provide for them, and I’m happy to do just that. Following routines is my jam! Feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, just let me know what you and your furry friends prefer and I’m happy to follow your lead!

I also offer house sitting and light cleaning, so not only are your pets taken care of, you’ll come home to a tidy, well-looked-after space too. I’m happy to help with things like bringing in mail, keeping things clean, and making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re gone.

I’m also respectful of your home and happy to help keep things tidy, bring in mail, and make sure everything is just as you left it, or better, when you return. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pets are getting lots of love and attention while you’re away 🐾 I am happy to meet at a coffee shop prior to your booking so you can ensure I'm the right fit!
“We were so lucky to have Helen sit for our fur babies while we were away for an extended period. we were very nervous to leave but immediately when we met Helen we knew that they would be in great hands. Helen sent us daily pictures and updates and our entire vacation went off without a hitch. When we returned home, our house was clean and our animals were happy and you could tell they had been loved. In fact, I think they miss Helen quite a bit. We will certainly be using her for all future trips if she is available and we highly recommend her to any family looking for patient loving care for their animals.”
