House Sitting in Pioneer

About: Hi my name is Hannah and I have been a veterinary nurse for 6 years. I am well-versed in taking care of your fur-babies in all walks of life. Whether they are in their last year or in their first year. I have been trained in CPR and know how to administer medications as well as injectable (fluids, insulins, B12, etc.) When pet sitting, most of my experience has been with medium to larger breeds but I have also lived with small dogs and have loved walking, playing fetch, cuddling and hanging out with them around the house. I will run/walk/trot/prance/skip with my new fur-friend if they are able, and we will also play any and all of their favorite games. Our dogs are our children and when I am taking care of your doggie, they will always have my full attention and love at all times. Working in emergency, internal medicine and oncology has allowed me to be the best pet sitter your dog could ask for. I am available all seven days of the week so I will be able to give your fur babies the special time and attention they need. When I am at clients homes I make sure they get good excercise (if needed and safe), make sure they are eating and drinking and (if necessary) is always diligent in administering medications. If I need to leave the house it is no longer than 4 hrs. I will always make sure they have play time and are comfortable!

“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!”

“We ended up needing to book with Kasidy at the last minute, but found her to be very responsive and a great housesitter for our two dogs! We had been nervous about leaving our dogs while being gone for five days as they are anxious and wary of strangers. But they warmed up to Kasidy quickly due to her calm, relaxed presence and (and ball throwing :). She paid close attention to the instructions left for our dog with Addison’s disease, and texted me with updates on her status. Kasidy is a responsible and reliable pet sitter and we (and our dogs) hope to use her again in the future!”

“Louisa is amazing! She looked after our dogs and house while we were out of town for a few days. Louisa is incredibly respectful, communicative, and easy to work with. We felt very comfortable with her watching our pups. I would 100% recommend her!”

“Melanie was absolutely the best dog and house sitter. My Bailey loved her, and Melanie took such good care of her. This will make my future trips anxiety free. My house was cleaner than I left it when I got home. She is definitely the very best!!”

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!

“Jessie is amazing! She took the best care of our pets and sent cute photos, which we appreciated. She also was trustworthy, responsive, professional and delightful. She was very tidy and helpful with other household needs. We will definitely work with Jessie again. She is fantastic!!”

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!

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.

About: Hi! I’m a college student-athlete with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from energetic puppies to wise senior pups. Growing up with dogs taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and quirks. As someone who stays active, I’m more than happy to take your dog on long walks, jogs, or even runs — whatever fits their energy level. Whether your pup loves cuddles on the couch or playtime in the yard, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your dog’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m here to provide dependable, attentive care you can trust. I'm currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups. Please feel free to book my availability is open. Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities. My home features a securely fenced yard, providing a safe and spacious area for your furry friend to play freely. I'm also very active and happy to offer energizing walks or park playtime for pets who enjoy it, always tailoring activities to their individual needs and your specific instructions. For overnight stays, my home is fully air-conditioned to ensure a comfortable environment. I also have kennels available if you prefer or if your pet requires one. You can trust that your dog will be cared for in a secure, comfortable, and engaging environment.

“Angie was very nice, qualified and efficient. Other than the pictures she sent us, we wouldn’t have been able to tell that she was in our home. The dogs seemed happy and content when we got home.”

About: I have had dogs and puppies many times in the past years so I am familiar with the needs of older dogs and puppies. I enjoy walking and taking walks with your dog. I am retired, living in the foothills of Sonora, so I generally travel to your home, stay in your guest room, and hang out with your pets. When we walk, or I visit someplace I enjoy getting to know the surrounding area. I am retired. Since I generally travel to your home and stay there with your pets, I enjoy the time of reading and visiting local attractions. I appreciate that much of the time I spend will be at your home with your pets. If I go out they will be wherever you leave them when you go to work or play. I always make sure they are safe and that I return in time for their next meal and shared evening and sleep routine time.

About: I have 10yrs experience and a ton of love and time for your four legged family member. I am a stay at home mother of three and this is something i am doing for myself as spending time with animals always makes my day a little better (aka: brings back some sanity). I am open minded, prepared, and completely aware that all dogs have their own personalities, issues, and temperaments... i absolutely have all of the patience and love in the world for your crazy hyper puppy, your angry old man, and all that fall in between. I am flexable and here to make your life easier and less stressful as you go off to work, on relaxing vactions, and especially for those last minute family emergencies. Above all, i am here for your four legged friends' happiness and well being... as life happens to you ❤ Thank you for your time. I hope to meet you soon. -Chelsea

“Elisabeth was so great with our puppy! She kept him safe, played with him, and worked on leash training. We are so happy to have her nearby for the next time we have to go out of town.”

About: I’ve always had pets in my house since I was young, I currently have a German shorthair pointer that is always up for a run so we are both active I am currently not working so I have time to take care of your pup or cat so they don’t feel lonely while you’re at work or running errands. I make sure my pup can run around and get his energy out in the gated yard, and make sure he isn’t getting into things he shouldn’t.

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.
