About: Hello! I work for an animal sanctuary during the week (administrative work, husbandry, diet management, volunteer training, dog training). I lived in the Dominican Republic for several years where I rescued ill and injured animals and would care for them until their passing. I cared for up to 22 animals at once. I have experience in both senior and neonate care. I grew up with animals since birth and began taking care of them at 12, and am now in my mid-thirties. I also have experience with farm animals and exotic animals. I obtained a certificate in Ambassador Animal Husbandry and Management in 2025 from the American Association of Zookeepers. My experience with positive reinforcement training (with a clicker) comes from the American Association of Zookeepers annual conference, time spent with my uncle who is a retired obedience and protection dog trainer and USCA judge, and using positive reinforcement training to train our two large breed puppies at my work. I also have experience training my own dogs and with desensitizing feral kittens and even one feral adult cat to become domestic pets (from my time in the Dominican Republic). I have completed multiple courses in animal training (operant conditioning), animal welfare, animal behavior, zoonotic diseases, animal nutrition, enrichment, neonate care, safe handling and restraint, emergency recall, and animal transportation. Hablo español Falo português I work for an animal sanctuary Monday through Friday (early morning till mid afternoon). I am free on weekends and also have limited availability during late afternoon/evening hours on weekdays. I am currently only offering care in clients' homes. I request that the client either writes any specific instructions or requests prior to booking so I can be aware of the exact service(s) and schedule they are requesting. The only request I have had that I was not comfortable with from a potential client was to leave them in a crate for a period of time in which I did not believe to be humane/ethical, but luckily this was discussed prior to meeting so we just had a friendly mutual agreement that we weren't the right fit for each other.

About: Hi! I’m Jules, the owner of Jules & Paws Pet Care! I’ve been providing professional pet care since 2024, but my love for animals goes back to when I was a kid. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats, and I’ve also had a bearded dragon of my own! What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about getting to know each pet as an individual. I love learning their little quirks, discovering their favorite things, and building a bond with them so they feel comfortable and safe in my care. I’m a licensed and insured pet care provider with pet CPR and First Aid certification, and I have hands-on experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, feeding routines, playtime, and administering oral medications. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including shy or anxious pets who may need extra patience and time to warm up, as well as senior pets who benefit from a gentler approach and extra attention to their comfort. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I always do my best to adjust my care to what works best for them. I carefully follow each client’s instructions, maintain familiar routines, and take the time to build trust at each pet’s own pace. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now, pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with animals and give your fur babies all the love I have to give! I genuinely look forward to seeing the pets I care for and building special relationships with them, whether that means going on adventures with an energetic pup, keeping a nervous kitty company, or giving a senior pet some extra love and attention. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can stay connected with your furry family members and feel reassured while you’re away. To me, pet sitting is about so much more than just showing up for a booking. It’s about earning your trust, making your pets feel loved, and giving them the personalized care they deserve. I’m so grateful for every family who trusts me with their fur babies, and I can’t wait to meet you and yours! Pet sitting is my full-time job, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care! I plan my daily and weekly schedule around my bookings so I can give each pet the time, attention, and personalized care they deserve. I understand how important it is to keep your pets’ routines consistent, especially when you’re away, so I do my best to accommodate their usual feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and other daily needs. I take the time to learn about each pet’s personality and preferences so I can make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their own home. Whether I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit, taking your pup on a walk, or staying overnight, I organize my schedule to ensure I can be present and attentive during the time I’ve committed to your pets. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and since I don’t have another job competing for my time, pet sitting allows me to focus on providing the best care possible. I want every pet to feel like they’re getting a visit from a friend rather than just having someone check off a task! I also love sending updates and photos throughout my visits so you can stay connected with your fur babies and have peace of mind knowing they’re receiving the love and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Before each booking, I ask clients to complete my new client intake form so I can get to know their pets, learn about their routines, feeding schedules, personalities, medical needs, and any special instructions. This helps me prepare and provide care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Since I offer care in your pet’s own home, I do my best to keep their routine consistent and their environment comfortable and familiar while you’re away. Whether I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit, taking your pup on a walk, or staying overnight, I carefully follow your instructions and make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I take safety seriously by keeping doors and gates secure, using appropriate leash and harness safety during walks, staying aware of our surroundings, and taking precautions to help prevent escapes or accidents. As a licensed and insured pet care provider with pet CPR and First Aid certification, I’m committed to providing patient, compassionate, and dependable care. Pet sitting is my full-time job, so I’m able to plan my schedule around my bookings and dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I also send regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your booking so you can see how your fur babies are doing and have peace of mind while you’re away. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I feel so grateful when families trust me to care for them. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while treating them like part of my own family.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats for over 30 years and have also fostered kittens for the animal shelter that I later adopted. I am a substitute teacher during the regular school year and am otherwise a DoorDash driver. I would work my schedule around what you need. My cats stay indoors and my 2 dogs love hanging out on our front enclosed porch or lounging inside. They all get along quite well.

“Erin is wonderful! She took care of our little Cat fur babies when we were away, making sure that they were well fed, clean and loved. One of the cats is a bit more reserved, but when he first met Erin, he instantly bonded with her. Erin was punctual everyday, quick to provide us with updates and even sent us pictures of the babies. She even went the extra mile to wheel our trash bin in after collection day! How sweet! Thank you Erin for being so great and loving our babies, and hope that you would be available next time when we take another short trip.”

About: I've cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, from my own 3 pound Yorkie to 100 pound German Shepherds, as well as cats! I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, I'll provide reliable, attentive care and treat them like they're part of my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I'm currently attending college online, which means I'm home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends! Since I'm home, your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I live in an apartment, but we have a fenced dog area where pets can safely get outside time and enjoy some play. I also take dogs on daily walks to help them stay active and happy. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves having a companion around, but I always make sure to respect each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible :)

About: Welcome! Thank you for your interest. My name is Maddison and I have always had a deep love for animals. My personal animal experience started when I was 12 years old with pet sitting. I started overnight house and pet sitting when I was 15. I have experience with all kinds of different animals; dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, reptiles, horses, and poultry. I’m always excited to learn about new animals and their care as well. I have taken care of dogs and cats from their young years to being senior citizens. My professional experience grows daily. I have worked at a few Dog Boarding facilities and then was an Animal Welfare Specialist for the County of Santa Barbara. I learned many valuable skills such as professional level animal care, administering medications (oral or injection), behavioral training, enrichment, and how to safely handle dangerous animals. I was also the manager of Dog Behavior & Training and the Daycare Manager of a high volume facility. I successfully ran the training program and handled Daycare Operations. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding. I now am fully committed to my own business! You can find me under “Pineapple Pups Training & Services” on Instagram and Facebook. INTERESTED IN TRAINING? I have many different options to fit you and your pup’s needs. -Stand Alone Sessions -Daycare & Training -Board & Train I also offer complimentary in person or over the phone training evaluations. I have my own welcoming committee for your loved one’s home away from home experience. They will have friends to socialize with and never be bored. I have a sizable fenced in backyard. I do not believe Pet Services are a “one size fits all”. Please let me know what specific accommodations I can make for you and your loved ones. **ALL GUESTS MUST BE UP TO DATE ON FLEA MEDS**

“Hannah is really great to work with. She is professional, responsible, kind and dependable. She has a way with animals. My shy, semi feral kitty fell in love with her after a couple of days. That's remarkable! I highly recommend Hannah to sit for your pets.”

About: I grew up taking care of animals since the age of 12. Whenever family, friends, or neighbors needed someone to take care of their furry bestie; I gave them the a blast! I enjoy taking them on long walks/hikes, teach them tricks or polite manners, play with their favorite toy, and last but not least putting them to sleep by singing to them if they need snuggle time. Back to the present, I just graduated UCSC with a bachelor’s in Economics and I have a lot of availability. Taking care of someone's loving best friend would be an honored to spend my time for. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Love, Natalie N💜 I am very flexible since I just graduated UCSC and have a lot of time on my hands to use. And I would love to spend more time with animals.❤️ I am able to go to anyones home to take care of their dog if their owner is working or out of town. I am unable to bring them to my home that I share with others, due to no cats or dogs allowed. However, I don’t want that limitation to keep me away from my furry friends☺️ Im available every day of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I really want to make time for our furry friends☺️ I play with them and get them tired enough for them go feel relaxed and safe. I also take them on long walks and feed them:)
