House Sitting Notarb

“Alexis was great! We had a last minute need to book a pet sitter and had some difficulty finding someone with all the dates open. We luckily found Alexis and she couldn’t have been more perfect. We did the meet and greet the day before leaving on our trip and knew immediately that we could count on her to be reliable compassionate with our dachshund. We could tell that he really liked her. She was very responsive in all communication and provided many great pics of our little guy while we were away. We will recommend her to our friends and make her our first choice for future bookings. Can’t say enough about her calm disposition and caring attitude. Thank-you, thank-you Alexis for being there when we needed you. Since we were away for a family death and funeral, knowing that we had someone as trustworthy as you to take care of our pet enabled us to focus on family and make the trip as best as it could.”

“Wow! Shauna was super with my two dogs. Right away they greeted Shauna and let her pet them and give them treats! Shauna sent photos and updates throughout our evening away. I highly recommend Shauna for your dog sitting and house sitting needs!”

About: My work with animals started when I was just 10 years old, volunteering at a family friend’s dog daycare. What began as a childhood passion turned into over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and temperaments! Over the years, I’ve worked at several dog daycares, volunteered with shelters and rescue organizations, completed an internship at a nonprofit feline shelter and spay/neuter clinic, and worked as an Animal Control Officer. I also have experience in animal behavior and training, with a particular interest in behavioral rehabilitation, socialization, and working with dogs who need a little extra patience or understanding. I remain heavily involved in animal rescue, particularly with Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, and regularly help foster, evaluate, and rehabilitate dogs in need. At home, my husband and I have quite the little zoo! Our family includes five large dogs (four Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd), five cats, and some exotic pets. Having such a diverse household has given me extensive experience with different species, personalities, care requirements, and the importance of safely managing a multi-animal home. I’m also trained in pet CPR and first aid, have experience with pet nutrition, and offer basic grooming care, including bathing, nail trims, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior animals, and accommodating pets with special needs or behavioral quirks. I understand that every animal is an individual. Some want to spend the day playing, exploring, and staying active, while others would much rather curl up on the couch and enjoy some company. My goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while you’re away. Whether that means extra exercise, enrichment activities, maintaining their usual routine, or making room for one more in bed, I’m happy to accommodate! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your animals, especially when they have unique needs. As someone with a houseful of my own, I completely understand. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. A little note for fellow pet professionals: I’m always open to discussing reciprocal pet care arrangements with other experienced, qualified, and trustworthy sitters. Sometimes the best support system is another animal person who understands exactly what goes into caring for our four-legged (and occasionally eight-legged!) family members. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 I’m fortunate to work from home while continuing my education and pursuing a career in nursing! I work on-call, after-hours shifts in healthcare, which allows me to remain home for the majority of my workday. Occasionally, I need to step out briefly to see a patient, but these visits are typically short, and pets are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the animals in my care, providing regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, and lots of attention. Caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life, so welcoming a few extra furry friends fits naturally into our routine! Safety is always my number one priority when caring for animals! With my background in Animal Control, animal behavior, training, and rescue, I’ve learned just how important it is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every pet, regardless of their personality or needs. Our home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore. We also have spare bedrooms, extra crates and kennels, baby gates, and designated spaces that allow us to accommodate different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet enjoys socializing with other animals or would prefer their own quiet space, we’re happy to make accommodations! We’re very intentional about preventing accidents. Food, medications, cleaning supplies, and other potentially hazardous items are kept securely stored to prevent accidental ingestion. Pets are supervised during outdoor activities and interactions with other animals, and we never force introductions or allow unsupervised interactions between resident pets and guests. Our own dogs are crate-trained, which allows us to safely separate everyone whenever necessary. One of the biggest benefits of our household is that someone is almost always home! On the rare occasion we both need to step out, we make sure every animal is safely secured in an appropriate space. I’m also happy to accommodate crate routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions your pet may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same approach while respecting their established routines and environment. I make sure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are handled appropriately, and pets receive the attention, exercise, and supervision they’re accustomed to. I understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big deal. As someone with a houseful of animals myself, I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re safe. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to detail that I expect for my own animals, while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way!

About: Before I got my 2 pups, I have been taking care of fur friends around me from friends and family. Providing dog walking/jogs, bathing, dental care, feeding and play time! I am currently working part time. As my schedule is varies there is much room for flexible scheduling. Fur friend care is available weekends and evenings! I have a fenced back yard and 2 friendly furry friends. They’re also allowed indoors! Providing a safe and trusted environment is of no concern.

“We had Kaitlyn watch our pups twice and each time she was just amazing. The second stay was a longer stay and she put us at ease with constant check ins and pictures. We think our dogs loved her more than us at times 😅 highly recommend her to watch your furry friends!”

About: I have experience working will all types of pets and their personalities: Seniors, babies, friendly, not so friendly, shy/nervous, even sick. It really doesn’t make a difference to me, i’m always going to do what it takes to make your fur baby comfortable while their favorite person or people are gone. I am currently employed with the Fresno Chaffee Zoo as a Zoological Care Specialist (zookeeper) for birds. While I’m not doing that I am on the look out for possible pet training or sitting gigs I can do because I really love animals that much! I like to ensure that animal care is a part of my daily life and I would love if you helped me with that by choosing me to care for your wonderful pet! Let me know how best to care for your pet. If you would like me to crate them to sleep or feed them at specific times of day I can do that for you no problem! I do best with written instructions :)

“Asianna was great! She was prompt, and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. He's shy but she did a wonderful job of getting to know him. I will definitely be asking Asianna back in the future!”

About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection. I also love baking homemade healthy snacks for pets and enjoy learning new ways to ensure your pet is happy. For the next three months, my schedule is flexible. I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 and my family always had service dogs/pets so also training and constantly dealing with dogs! :) I just graduated from UCSD, currently taking a gap year while I apply for MA programs! I usually have a lot of flexibility with time! Your safety and your pets safety is just as important as mine. Having communication about safety/rules is crucial to having a healthy and safe pet!

About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats for over 4 years, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra attention. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and comfort their pets as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I don’t work right now, so I have a very open schedule and can give pets my full attention throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, making it easy to fit your pet’s routine. I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. I provide a clean, calm, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision.

About: I have never met a dog that doesn't love me. I enjoy caring for dogs, taking them on walks, playing, and petting them. What separates me from other dog walkers is that I will treat your dog like it's my own, always keeping their best interest in mind. I have been a pet owner my entire life and am currently a stay at home dog mom. Caring for my dog has inspired me to help out my community and care for others pets when needed. I have walked other dogs in my neighborhood, from small to large, and I would love to walk your dog too. I can assure that if you pick me to care for your pet he or she will be provided the best quality care!

“You can tell taking care of animals is in Nelson’s blood. He came through for me and Nico on a last minute business trip and provided plenty of updates throughout the day. In addition to taking excellent care of Nico, Nelson also left the house even cleaner than I did when I left which is such a relief after coming home from a trip. Thanks again Nelson, Nico is already looking forward to hanging out with you next time!”

“Heather was very communicative throughout her time pet sitting our two senior dogs. One dog receives oral medication. We would love to have Heather watch our pets again.”

“Rebecca was great watching our two dogs at our house this weekend. We were glad to get periodic updates on the dogs and she left the house very clean. Would highly recommend!”

“This was my second time hiring Jonnie to care for pets in my home. Once again she did an amazing job! My fur-babies loved her and she goes above and beyond to care for all animals (even health challenged ones) and my home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who is trustworthy, reliable, and detailed in providing optimum care for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and the home. Thanks Jonnie!!!”

About: I've personally had dogs since the age of 5. All of my dogs have been huge dogs over 90 pounds! I love all pets. I dog sit quite often, anywhere from 6 weeks to 10 years old. I have dealt with a lot of accidents that I totally do not mind picking up. If your dog needs a little more attention and activity that's even better for me! I currently am doing clovis community college online and I stay at home with my 3 big dogs. They love to go swimming so they do that everyday, especially cause it's too hot to walk them right now! I will almost never leave your pet unattended, which means they will be watched for however long you need me there. Hopefully that gets them to stay out of trouble.

About: My life is surrounded by animals, and that's the way I like it! I have been working with animals since I was 2 years old if not younger. I started out assisting in rehabilitating wildlife, which never left. I trained several dogs, from showmanship, to basic training, and even as a personal service dog. I have won several best of shows in showmanship. My daily routine is as follows: wake up, get coffee, wake birds up and let them out, let dogs out, feed cats, dogs, birds, make breakfast, hang out with the animals and wake up, eat lunch, clean house while incorporating working with the animals, bath time!, make social media content with the animals, start dinner with the animals, feed animals their foods, snack time, hang out with family, put everyone to bed, goodnight! I treat my animals better than I treat myself 😅 people/souls that can't help themselves, I've always had a place in my heart for, and I always do my best for them.

About: I was raised in a home with many pets, which has taught me a lot about how to responsibly and lovingly care for many types of animals. I am a current student, so I am available most of the time until October. June and July I will be busy during most weekdays for a volunteer program, but weekends are open!! August and September weekdays and weekends work for me. I believe that communication is key for understanding and creating a respectful and caring environment for each pet. I’m excited to talk with you and get to know the specific needs of your animals.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was around 10 years old. I grew up with two Cane Corsos and a miniature poodle, so I’ve always been around both large and small dogs with completely different personalities and needs. I helped care for them daily by feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, playing with them, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved. Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I = love getting to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and calm, or super affectionate. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and larger breeds, and I always try to match each pet’s routine so they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I also know how important communication is for pet owners, so I love sending photo updates and making sure owners feel confident that their pets are being well cared for and getting lots of attention, love, and playtime while they’re away! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m generally available during mornings and afternoons after 2 PM on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends for boarding, walks, playtime, and overnight care. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, I love making pet care part of my daily routine. I make sure every dog gets lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while helping them feel comfortable and at home! My home in Atwater is very dog friendly and made to be a safe, comfortable environment for pets to stay in. I have both a fenced front yard and fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of secure outdoor space to play, relax, and get fresh air throughout the day. My home also has wood flooring throughout, which helps keep the space clean and comfortable for pets.
