Pet Sitting North Growth Area

About: I have grown up with dogs of all breeds and sizes. At one point my family had five dogs at home. I currently have two dogs of my own so I know how much love, attention, and patience pets need. One of my dogs just turned 11 months and had her since 8 weeks of age so I’m fresh on puppy schedule and care. From playful puppies to older dogs who just want snuggles I am comfortable caring for them all. I will treat your pets like part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while you are away. During summer time I am free all the time so I can normally help whenever you need me! Starting September my schedule changes a little but I will have availability in the afternoon and all day during the weekends. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable whether they are in my home or yours. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and pay attention to their routines. I provide plenty of love, gentle guidance, and a calm environment so pets feel secure and happy while in my care.

“Always great service. Important: she is always on time: most important my Walter loves Dalene.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have professional experience in animal care. I have worked in direct contact with animals in the shelter environment, all types of behaviors, and all different types of quirks. I have frequently pet sit around my neighborhood for the last couple years and would love to meet your furry friend! I am pretty much an open calender for your pets! I just graduated high school in early June and have a lot of free time, I would love to help you out and spend time with your furry friend at no inconvenience to me! I can provide walks, feedings, baths, and love to all different types of dogs! I do have a dog of my own so trust me to care for your dog as well as you can. As a fellow dog owner I understand differing feeding schedules, odd quirks, and the best place to scratch behind their ears.

“This was my first time using Rover and I was very satisfied with my experience. Anna did an Awesome job with my dog James [2yr old pit-terrier/45lbs]! She interacted with him very well and he quickly felt comfortable around her. She was so loving and didn't mind his doggy kisses at all! Her scheduled drop in visits went as expected and she kept me updated throughout my trip. I will definitely book with her again in the future.. I'm glad she was a great match with my fur-baby! :)”

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have been helping take care of pets for years, whether that’s for family, friends, or neighbors. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed in their environment. I also have a 5-year-old dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, and always pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in school, but I have a pretty flexible schedule outside of that and can make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting depending on the day, and I’m open most evenings and weekends. I’m good about communicating and planning ahead so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure to follow any instructions you leave closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I keep a clean, calm environment and always pay attention to behavior changes or anything that seems off. I have a friendly 5-year-old dog who is well-socialized, but I can also keep pets separate if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and not stressed while you’re away.

“Solome was a great cat sitter! She kept the cats company, took pictures, fed them and kept their litter boxes clean. She had great communication throughout.”

“Grace was very responsive, I needed help last minute and she was available and even set up a meet and greet with my dog the same day which was greatly appreciated! I will definitely be using Grace again!”

“Kate did an amazing job today watching our dog for the last few days and leaving us a beautiful plaque of our dog paw print of Jasper. This was unexpected and amazing. Thank you, Kate.”

Gloria C.

“Isabella was amazing! She is kind hearted and our dogs saw that immediately. She took very good care of our pups while we were on vacation, feeding and talking them for a walk. Both our dogs felt comfortable and happy with Isabella as did our family. We look forward to using her again.”

About: What sets me apart is the amount of patience, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I’m experienced with pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies who need consistency and senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m also very reliable with feeding schedules, medications, walks, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they always know their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to make time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of attention throughout the day. I like keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I always make sure pets are in a safe, calm, and clean environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything tidy while making sure their pets get constant care, supervision, affection, and plenty of exercise.

“Dylan was great to work with - My fur-babies loved her! She communicated with me and was flexible when I needed her to come earlier one day. I will want to have her look after Ruby and Lucy again!”

About: My girlfriend and I had our dog for 10 years (adopted at 4 from the SPCA). She was the greatest dog and died of liver cancer early this year. It was an awesome privilege to grow up with her. I'm not going to take up this space mentioning all the cute little details of our lives, but know that i enjoyed every bit of it. I know the ups and downs of a dogs life and can channel that energy. Our dog Keiko got sick multiple times and through Iriving pet hospital and a certain doctor we were able to care for her in a way that made us realize a dog's resilience. I mean she went from 40 pounds to 50 to 30. Skin issues, and eventually cancer. But we stuck with it, learned a lot and eventually made that decision when it was time. So that love is there. I work from home, so depening on your schedule, we can work out something. Just message me, and I am confident we can make something work. Thanks. With our dog, we had a backyard that was fenced. So that was extremely helpful. We also had a dog fence outside of our door. I'm familiar with pads if necessary. We always walked our dog outside on leash unless she was at the beach. But I realize this varies for every dog. Also, if you read my profile, I want you to know that my girlfriend and I have lost our dog earlier this year. If it is comfortable with you, we can both combine to walk your dog if that helps. Obviously we aren't looking for any extra compensation. It's just that we are great with dogs and want to make sure your dog feels cool. Just an option to consider.

About: I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. When your pet is with me they will be treated as family! Potty breaks are frequent and always accompanied by me. I work part time and when I do work my finance is home so pets are rarely alone! For peace of mind I only book with one family at a time. I make it a priority to send lots of pics and updates! I work part-time, so I am here most of the time and when I am not my fiancé is home. I make sure not to book dogs if they will be alone at any point in time. Potty Breaks happen about every 45 minutes. a If your pet is on a strict schedule feel free to let me know! I have a large, fenced backyard and a spacious home with plenty of room for pets to feel safe and comfortable. My own dog is very friendly, but I can easily keep pets separated if preferred. I always focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free, and I treat every animal like part of the family.

“Kaeden did a great job! Thank you so much for taking care of Abbey.”

About: ⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING ⚠️ To ensure we're a good fit and to respect both our time, please review my pricing and policies below before reaching out. Thank you! Welcome! I'm so glad you're here 🐾 Why families choose me I know how hard it is to leave your furry family member with someone new. That's why I'd love for you to visit my home before booking – see where your pet will stay, meet me in person, and get a feel for the environment. No pressure, just peace of mind. Here's what makes my care different: I only take two to three pets at a time. Yes, I have space for more, but I intentionally keep things small. Your pet isn't just another booking; they get my full attention, a calm environment, and the kind of care I'd want for my own pet. Since I work from home, your pet is never alone. If your pup has separation anxiety or just loves company, they'll have me nearby all day. I genuinely treat every guest like they're part of my family. What you can expect • Photos you'll actually love: I take pride in capturing beautiful moments of your pet. Check out my profile photos – that's the quality you'll get! I want you to see your pet's personality shine and know they're happy and loved. • Real communication: During business hours, you can call me anytime. Need an update? Have a question? I'm here. Your peace of mind matters. • A spotless home: My place is deep-cleaned weekly. It's fresh, odor-free, and hygienic. You're always welcome to visit! Just a heads up – I do ask guests to remove shoes to keep things pristine. • Safe outdoor space: The backyard has seven gorgeous redwood trees that provide tons of shade. That said, your pup will spend most of their time inside with me, where it's cool and comfortable. I never leave dogs unsupervised outside for extended periods. • A calm, quiet home: No young kids, and no elderly family members. Just a peaceful space where your pet can relax and be the star of the show. • No pool: One less thing to worry about! Safety first. Important details about care & pricing • Veterinary care: If I notice anything concerning about your pet's health, I'll contact you immediately (and Rover). If I can't reach you, I'll take them to the vet. All bookings are covered by Rover's Guarantee (up to $25,000 for eligible vet expenses). • Pricing adjustments: I do charge additional fees for certain situations to ensure I can provide the best care: Small: Base Rate Medium dogs: (30-60 lbs): +$15 Large dogs (60-90 lbs): +$20 Giant dogs (90-200 lbs): +$100 Puppies under 1 year (not potty trained): +$125 Why the large/giant dog fees? I want to be transparent about this. • Decline other reservations: due to the lack of space, I might need to be forced to cancel other reservations to ensure we have adequate space for your furry friend. • Space & capacity: When I host a large or giant breed, it often means I can only take one other pet (or sometimes no other pets) to ensure everyone has adequate space and comfort. This limits my availability for other bookings. • Physical demands: Larger dogs require more physical strength and energy – from handling on walks to managing their movements indoors. It's more intensive work to provide the attentive, hands-on care they deserve. • Wear and resources: Bigger dogs naturally need more of everything – more food, more space, more cleanup. They also create more wear on furniture, floors, and the home environment. • Individual attention: Every dog gets my full focus, but larger dogs often need extra time and specialized care to ensure they're comfortable and happy in my home. This pricing ensures I can give your large or giant dog the quality, individualized attention they deserve without compromising on care. Why the puppy fee? Puppies are wonderful, but they need specialized care! I take your pup out every 30 minutes to support their potty training and help them develop good habits. It's hands-on work, but it makes a real difference. If your puppy is already crate and potty trained, I'm happy to waive this fee. Again, please review these details before reaching out so we can make sure we're the right fit for your pet! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐕💕 A day in the life with me 🌅 I'm naturally an early riser, which works out perfectly for your pup! Here's what a typical day looks like: Morning: We start the day with a refreshing morning walk to get those legs moving and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day: Your dog will get regular potty breaks in my backyard all morning long. Since I work from home, I'm always here to let them out when they need it. Evening: When the weather's nice, we'll wind down with an evening walk to stretch, explore, and burn off any remaining energy. This is the exact routine I followed with my own dog, and it worked wonders for his potty training. He learned to trust that I'd take him out when needed, and I learned to trust that he'd wait. It's all about consistency and communication! Your dog will seamlessly become part of my daily rhythm – same love, same care, same attention I gave my own. They're not just a guest; they're family while they're here. 🐕❤️ 🐣They will be in a safe and secure environment, where no dog will be distressed. I prioritize understanding each dog's behavior by discussing their temperament with clients and taking proactive measures to ensure a calm and harmonious atmosphere. This is why I limit the number of dogs to a maximum of two per night, to maintain individual attention and safety for all pets involved.

“Emily is just an amazing girl!!! She took care of my cat like she was her own. This is the first time we've left her home and with a sitter. We could not have found a better person”

“Cynthia always does such a great job! She is on time, leaves a great and detailed report with pictures and full description, and goes above and beyond in her short time checking in on my dog. She is always responsive and my dog really seems to love her! Highly recommend Cynthia.”

“Thanks for dropping by on time to care for Snowbud and made sure he did #1 and #2 and ate. He takes a bit to warm up but glad he did so well with you!”

About: I grew up around cats and dogs, my whole life and always wanted to have my own pets, but since I moved from Massachusetts and I’m renting a house, I’m not allowed to have a cat or a dog. I feel so much happiness walking dogs and it’s such a great exercise! Weekend and some weekday evenings work great with my schedule! Open to discuss availability, drop in opportunities, and walks! Please don’t hesitate to reach out. I feel comfortable with a dog walking and dropping in, but not staying overnight. Open to discuss what your needs are in the needs of your pet!
