About: I first dog sat for my grandparents when I was twelve and since then I have dog sat for other friends and family members and loved each and every time. I love getting to know your pets and their personalities and being a friend to them while their family is away. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs who need a little extra care after spending several years caring for my family's basset hound before she passed. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend playing with your fur fam! While my work schedule changes from week to week, my shifts are never more than five hours which means that I can stop by often for pup potty breaks! I am happy to stop by your home multiple times a day and make sure that your furry friend has food water, has gone potty, and been walked and played with! I am also happy to water plants! If your dogo needs someone there during the night I am open to that as well :)

About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, and birds. I treat them with respect all the same. I will always treat with respect to them. It can benefit to my day to day life. I left the bay area where my folks have their dogs and I can't see them right now. So, it would be nice to spend time with dogs again. I have a wonderful home where I have 3 cats that are spoiled rotten. If I had a dog, they'd be spoiled too. The dog will be leashed the entire time I'm with them. Because I believe in safety above all else. Like when I'm going for a walk, if I see a situation, I'll take my dog across the street. No interaction whatsoever. Because I want to avoid confrontation.

About: In my six years of animal care, I have taken care of many animals, from dogs to birds, and grew up on a large farm... so I have seen a few things. I have just moved to Redding and I don’t have a job so I have plenty of time to take care of your little ones. For my dogs, I feed them in the morning and take them on many walks throughout the day so that they will be tired out to rest at night. I will also check their water each day to make sure it is not empty or dirty.

About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been part of my world—feeding chickens before breakfast, brushing horses after school, and getting covered in dog hair in between! I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I’ve always had an easy, natural connection with animals. They seem to sense that I’m one of the good ones. I’m great at picking up on their vibes—whether they’re in the mood to zoom around or just want some chill cuddle time. Taking care of animals is second nature to me, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I live a flexible lifestyle and am fully available to care for your pets. Since I’m not tied to a traditional job or schedule, I can offer your fur babies lots of time, attention, and consistency. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here to help and happy to adapt to your routine. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment wherever I’m staying. I care for pets in their own familiar space, which helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your home, and can adapt to any special needs your pet may have—whether that means crating, administering medication, or extra cuddle time.

Claire would be an amazing dog sitter! She has such a kind and gentle nature, and animals seem to pick up on that immediately. She’s incredibly responsible, always on top of feeding schedules, walks, and playtime—and she genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Claire treats every dog like they’re her own, giving them tons of love, attention, and care. I’ve seen how patient and attentive she is, whether it's with energetic puppies or older dogs who need a little extra TLC. Anyone would be lucky to have Claire looking after their furry family member!

I haven’t met someone who cares more about animals than Emily. She is intuitive and responsible. If she ever feels that she needs more information, she does not hesitate to research and find the best solution. Every pet left in her care will be nurtured and loved. She has a natural ability to sense how animals are feeling, and what they are doing. If you’re concerned about leaving your pet with a complete stranger, you can put your faith in Emily. She is strong willed, and always believes in doing the right thing. There is no one quite like her.
