About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs since I was just born. I had one cat and one dog growing up both for 18 years and I currently have one cat that is 6 years old with a minor disability. My roommate has three cats. I have experience with behavior training, feedings, vet, appointment, walks, potty training, and recognizing emergencies that need immediate attention. I make my cats wellbeing a priority. They get a morning and an evening walk as well as the ability to go in and out as they please. They get wet food at the same time every day in the evening and dry food available to them always. They also get treats for behavior training and to better their tricks. I am available to complete any and all services needed to take care of your pet, whether that be in my place of residence or yours.


“Jennifer and James are super responsive and always very accommodating, even when I’ve had to book a walk or drop-in visit at the last minute. They really care about my dog and do a wonderful job looking after her.”


About: I am an experienced Veterinary Technician who has been nicknamed the cat whisperer. Although cats aren’t my only specialty! I love and care for all animals including; reptiles, insects, fish, and fractious cats or dogs. I am able to medicate your stubborn fur baby’s whether it’s oral or injectable medication, I offer free nail trims if needed while I stay at your home, and I’m able to monitor for any general signs of pain or discomfort and advise if a trip to the Vet is needed. With 5+ years in the Veterinary field and 8+ years of dog walking and pet sitting experience I can promise you your baby(s) will be in good care. During work days I am available to check on your pet early mornings before 7am, mid days around 12pm, and after 6pm. I have 3 days off during the week which will allow me to stay with your pet all day if needed. Trust is earned through gentle interactions and like humans all animals have their own personalities. I am experienced in reading animals body language and identifying if something is wrong. I am experienced in approaching and handling anxious dogs and cats. If extra love and patients is needed then that’s what they will get. I am also able to identify choking, coughing, or seizures and know animal safety very well. Your pet will always be safe with me and will never be in a situation where they will be harmed.

About: I am a licensed RVT and CPR certified. I have been in the field about 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, pocket pets and even some livestock. I am a full time employee for UC Davis. I get off work around 6 and have Thursday-Saturday off with flexible pet sitting availability on Sunday I would ensure I wear clean clothes over every time to limit any unwanted illness. With my job specifically I don't deal with sick animals so that won't be an issue. I am also used to placing animal in crates and potty walks.


About: I have over 10 years of experience dog sitting with various breeds, ages, activity levels, and medical needs. From puppies to senior end-of-life care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, training practice, administering medications, couch cuddles, or comforting anxiety I’m here for your pup! I typically work M-F 9am-5pm with an hour long break around noon. This is somewhat flexible and can change based on needs. I’m available to care for pets before/after work as well as quick check-ins at noon depending on location. Weekends I am most available for pet care, with occasional part time volunteer responsibilities. My home: I live in a fairly spacious second floor apartment the space is kept tidy with the exception of occasional dog toys thrown around by my cocker spaniel. There is a public park and community garden a half block away which I use as yard space for potty breaks, fetch, chasing squirrels, etc. Your home: Please share with me what your preferences and comforts are. I can stay in-home and spend cozy time or take your pup on outings to the park, dog-friendly venues, etc.

About: With 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I treat every pet like a member of my own family. I've cared for both kittens and puppies under a year old, as well as senior dogs aged 10 and up. Staying at home allows me to dedicate my time and attention to your furry friends, just like I do with my own beloved dog. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I'm like a pet concierge, but instead of booking spa days, I'm giving belly rubs, playing fetch and going on walkies. I am very flexible and can watch/ walk your pets from daily and on weekends. Depending on my availability I can care for your baby up to a week if needed. After walking your pets, I usually ask where and how you would like me to leave you pets at home whether it be their crate, just in home or outside in their yards. For caring at my own home for your pets be rest assured that they will be receiving the upmost attention and no leaving their side as I stay at home and care for my own pup who is 1.


“We all appreciate Coco so much! She is so flexible and easy going. She is willing to do what makes our Roxy happy. We left for the weekend and I didn't notice we were low on treats. (I forgot to tell Coco that Roxy gets one after the walk.) Coco is so in tune with dogs that she figured out Roxy was missing something, and what it was! She asked to bring some extras over so that Roxy would be sure to be happy for the day. Treats are just little extras, and not necessary, but it was SOOO SWEET that Coco wanted Roxy to be happy. You're the BEST!”


About: I absolutely adore dogs and their personalities. I had an older pup of my own, who has been with me all over California. Unfortunately my beautiful girl has passed. Now I have a 1 year old rambunctious little aussiedoodle named Thorin and all he wants do is play. He absolutely loves making new friends. I am always the first one to be called by any friend in need to watch their pets. I’m confident that Thorin and I can give your pet a safe space for them to have fun and you to relax and not worry. I currently work 2 miles from my place of residence. Your dog will usually just go with me to work every day, we have a bed/area set up (pet friendly environment) or if preferred the dog to stay home. My man comes with me, so we do the same for yours. Also, they would be walked first thing in the morning, on my lunch, after work and then again before bed. I have a crate if thats needed for your dog/your dog likes to have his/her own safe space. My house is free to roam for the animals. I have a big backyard they can play in.

About: I have had a golden retriever growing up and in 2020 adopted 2 lab puppies. I have a lot of experience with playing, walking, feeding, and just being around animals. Pet care will fit into my daily routine because I have quite a bit of free time that I would like to spend with animals! I care for my pets by walking, feeding, playing, and hanging out with them daily. I make sure to give them attention and a lot of pets!

About: What makes me different is the combination of hands-on experience, attention to detail, and genuine care I bring to every pet I meet. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare setting, which gave me the opportunity to care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to seniors who need a gentler touch and extra patience. I’m comfortable with special routines, administering basic medications, and supporting dogs with unique needs. I also understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort zone. Some thrive with long walks and active play, while others just want a calm companion to keep them company. I make it my priority to meet each pet where they’re at, so they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. Along with walks and drop-ins, I also offer overnight care and can provide bathing or nail care upon request. My goal is to make life easier for both you and your pets by being reliable, communicative, and treating your pets like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is already part of my daily life with my own two pets, and right now I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to yours as well. I’m reliable, consistent, and committed to keeping a routine that makes your pets feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow your routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed—and make sure they get both attention and consistency while you’re away.

“Kayla is absolutely phenomenal. She is kind, courteous and very easy to communicate with. She and Ragnar got along so well. Her disposition and patience made the introduction and first dog walk so easy. I will be having Kayla walk Ragnar again very soon.”


“Kalina has definitely exceeded my expectations as a dog walker. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring/loving towards my fur babies. At first contact, she responded very quickly and was willing to meet the next day on such short notice. Kalina was very patient with my boy, Ghost, especially when he hid under the bed for 30 mins during the first scheduled walk. She contacted me immediately to figure out next steps. Kalina wanted to respect my dog's comfortability, which I very much appreciated. The same day, Ghost warmed up to her and both of my dogs ended up enjoying the outdoors. Kalina made sure to communicate when she arrived at the house and left, also included pictures for me to see. I can tell that both Ghost and Hazel love her! Kalina did such an amazing job and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help with their fur babies. They are in great hands with her!”
