“Charlene was great. She sat both our dog and cat at our home and we were very happy with things went. She was very communicative and left the place in great condition, and both Finn and Rey were well loved. We would use Charlene again.”


“Sarah is just the sweetest thing! So attentive our fur babies loved her! Very communicative and sent pictures often which we love. Can’t wait to have her dog/cat sit again.❤️ we would highly recommend her!”



“Jessie came to our house prior to leaving her with Roscoe. She was thorough meaning she asked questions. She had a notebook and took notes. I felt she was a very warm and genuine person. Roscoe took to her right away. When Jessie came to the house for the stay, Roscoe went right up to her in greeting. We left her with information about Roscoe as well as other important information and reviewed with Jessie. We left and within a couple of hours received pictures of Roscoe. We were gone for two days but received a few pictures and updates. What I really appreciated was that she was glad that we texted her to let her know that we made it home. We were running late and told her it was okay to leave but she wanted to make sure we got home. Last couple of things, our house was immaculate. We have house sitters before, but this was the first time I could say that. Also, Roscoe seemed very happy and didn't seem out of sorts. We will definitely use Jessie again.”


About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I am looking to take on as many hours as possible! I am currently in college, but only have classes Monday and Wednesday and can work around my school schedule. I am unable to bring pets home due to having my own cat and living in an apartment with a single pet deposit! But I am just fine coming to you! I offer dog walking, some behavioral training while pet sitting/walking, in home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!

“Elizabeth was so kind and thoughtful! She cared for my dog and cats AND watched over my home. ❤️ I came home to flowers at my front door! Elizabeth took my dog on daily walks and sent me pictures of her. She even brought my delivered groceries in for me (which I totally forgot about - thank you Elizabeth)! ❤️🙏 she met with me before the booking to meet my dog and see the home and where things were. I’m so blessed and grateful that she was available and that we met!”


About: I have had all types of animals ever since i’ve been alive! This includes horses, cats, dogs, chickens, sheep, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc.! I have a deep love for all animals and know I am a trustworthy and caring animal lover! I am a graduate from Cal Poly SLO that has moved home for a bit. I am trying to make a little money while finding a job and what better way to do that than to spend that time with animals! So, my schedule is very open as I am navigating this shift in my life! As I said above, I have had animals my whole life. As for dogs and cats, I first make sure that they are getting all the love they deserve because their love towards humans are endless. I go on atleast 1 walk a day and feed my dogs twice a day according to their diet. As for my cat, I make sure to give him all the belly rubs and a good morning stretch (he loves it)! While I was in school I helped my boyfriend take care of his two frenchies. My latest pet was a big Bordie Collie, but right now I have a smaller dog and a cat! Therefore, I have taken care of a variety of different dogs. All I want to offer to your animals are the love and care that they deserve!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I’ve had different kinds of pets growing from chinchillas to hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, turtles, dogs and currently have a 3 furry animals😊 I currently work part time and my schedule varies leaving me with a lot of availability. Please reach out and we can discuss your needs for pet care and make it work😊 I have a fenced yard that is 3 acres for your fur baby to roam freely around the yard and burn lots of energy. I do have 3 kiddos that are good with animals, love to give tons of pets and attention, they are also super respectful and know when to give your pet their space but your pet will be feel right at home. My doggies are on schedules from exercise to meals and I will respect your preferences on care for your pets and follow them to the T.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for animals, along with a strong focus on tailored care for each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets requiring extra patience and support. I'm comfortable with administering medications, following special diets, and sticking to detailed routines to ensure your pet feels safe and happy in your absence. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize reliability and consistency, whether it's early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime and check-ins. I'm flexible and committed to working around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve every single day. Whether it's a short-term visit or long-term care, I make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and comforting as possible. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to create a secure, calm environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to ensure their pet feels safe in a familiar setting. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space that’s fully secured and free of hazards. I supervise interactions, keep a consistent routine, and always provide plenty of love, enrichment, and downtime to help pets feel at ease. I also keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands.

About: Hi there! I’m Aaralyn and have always been a lifelong animal lover. I would be more than happy to provide the help you need caring for your animals— whether it is just a few hours during the day or for a week! I am here to ensure your animals will be given the best care. To do this I will give your pets daily walks, enrichment activities and promise to treat your animals as if they are my own. I also love keeping you updated with photos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're gone! To let you know a little about me, I am currently a UC Davis student and am looking to spend my time over the summer with some sweet animals! I have plenty of experience with many different animal such dogs, cats, and more. I know how to care for a range of pets as I have cared for senior animals and special needs animals before. I myself have a pup who needs medication every morning and night which come with side effects such as increase in thirst, hunger, and hyperactivity. So, I am well immersed with dogs that may require a little more maintenance. For house sitting, I’d love to meet your animals beforehand so they know who I am first and feel more comfortable when stay in their home for a prolonged period of time. What works best for me is a small yet informational note outlining your pets daily routine— things like when they eat breakfast/lunch/dinner, how much they eat, how often you would like them to be walked, where they go or what they do while I am out of the house, and anything else you feel is necessary. This lets me get an idea of what the animals needs/wants while I am there. This allows me to maintain a comfortable environment for them in hope to reduce any possible stress. For drop in visits: Usually I stay for about an hour and half per drop in visit but if more time is needed or requested that is not a problem! During that time, I will go on walks, engage in different activities with them, and check on food/water too. Also, while I am there if there is any other house maintenance that needs to be done such as skimming the pool or checking the mail let me know! I am happy to however I can. Overall, I hope to hear from you and meet all your pets soon! This summer, I do plan on working, likely part-time, so I will have lots of time to spend time with your animals and taking them on walks or other ways to exert energy! To keep the animals as comfortable as possible with a new person in their home I try to stick to a similar routine that they are used to.

About: I have extensive background in animal care and behavior, I have worked as a vet tech and started my own non-profit for special needs cats and kittens in 2009. I have been in the animal welfare field for 26 years. There are 10 fenced acres and 2.5 acres fenced within that is all grass for the pups to play on! I am home the majority of the day, all week and can provide a fun and enjoyable time while you are away. I want you to feel comfortable boarding your companion, so there is no extra charge for special needs, particular preferences, etc.- this is a customized experience. Your pet companion will be cared for and entertained the entire time! Your beloved pets will be watched 24/7 (brief errands do arise). They will have stimulation, play, and comfy couches or beds to sleep on when rest is needed. Your pets will be treated like part of our family. I do have a standing client where I care for their dogs in the mornings, so if needed, that can be worked around, but generally early mornings are difficult to offer during the week. Weekends are open. I have a fenced yard, with 2.5 acres available to run and play. I have friendly dogs that enjoy other dogs if they want to play. I have seperate areas if your dog prefers to be alone. The seperate areas are located inside with temperature control, or if they prefer outside, there are dog runs.

“Angie was great! Our dog, Maggie, was well-cared for and all of her ever-flying German Shepherd fur was vacuumed up, as well. Thank you, Angie, for leaving on the lights to welcome us home after our late flight. Merry Christmas!”

Bailey A.
“Bailey is an amazing person and a fabulous pet sitter. We have known her for 6 or 7 years, since she became friends with our son in High School. Small, sweet, quiet - those are the first impressions of Bailey. Turns out she's ambitious, strong and strong minded with a great sense of humor! After High School she was headed to army boot camp - I remember thinking how is she going to accomplish that? She came out laughing - saying she'd learned several words she didn't know she needed to know. Made me laugh. We have hired several of our kid's friends to pet sit and take care of the garden. Bailey is one of the few who actually did what we asked without skipping corners here and there. She even tackled some garden digging (just for fun!) on a large project we were working on. Our animals love her, our plants love her, and we love her. She is trustworthy, kind, gracious and responsible. You will be glad you hired her.”

Samantha B.
“If my dog could write this himself, he’d probably say: “Sam is paws-down my favorite human! Whether it’s a walk, a quick visit, or an overnight stay, Sam always shows up with a big smile, endless patience, and maybe a secret stash of treats. If you want your dog to have the best day ever (and you want total peace of mind), Sam is your girl. Five stars, two paws up, and a big slobbery kiss of approval from my pup!”


Grace C.

“Grace was the perfect sitter for my sassy cat. She was caring and considerate, and I returned to a happy cat and a clean house. I would totally use her again!”

“I highly recommend Jacqueline for animal care. She has a special devotion to pets and is kind and nurturing to them.
