“Chelsea watched our two cats for a week, and was so wonderful! She sent us very thorough updates, lots of pictures every day, and made sure they got lots of play time with their favorite toys. Chelsea pet sat for us over Christmas, and we are so grateful for her accommodating our holiday travel plans. I didn’t worry once while we were away and felt confident that they were in very good hands. Thank you for keeping our boys happy and safe while we were out of town!”
“Aaron is awesome. It’s clear from the photos and our interview with our cat post visit that he likes Aaron, they get along nicely and he is well cared for. Arriving back home everything is ship shape. Six stars.”
“Michaelle did a great job checking in on my cat! She was super communicative, responded quickly to messages, and also sent plenty of pictures and videos during the visit! My cat looked very happy to hang out with her!”
“Olivia was amazing. She really came through at short notice and was super great with the cats. I could tell they were all happy, relaxed and comfortable when my roommate and I came back home. This was our first time using Rover and a huge relief to know someone was checking in on the kitties.”
About: With years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and volunteering at the YCAS shelter in Woodland, I offer a level of knowledge and calm that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I’ve worked with puppies, seniors, and dog-reactive pets. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, whether that’s energetic play, gentle walks, or giving medication. Your pet will be treated like my own. Pet care is my top priority right now, and my schedule is wide open! I’m currently extremely flexible for drop in visits or walks throughout the day. I love making sure pets get consistent care and attention, no matter how busy your routine may be. I treat your home and your pets with total respect and care. During walks and drop-in visits, I always keep your pet’s safety and happiness first by using positive reinforcement, keeping a close eye on surroundings, and following your care instructions exactly. I’ll send updates, photos, and videos so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing. My approach is gentle, responsible, and tailored to each animal’s comfort level.
About: I took care of my childhood dog for over 10 years and when I moved out to attend college I have adopted a cat and have been taking care of him for about 2 years I have a pretty open schedule as I am currently unemployed and am just waiting for school to start back up, I do make plans occasionally but as long as I receive the 3 day notice I should be able to clear up my schedule. I am open to do anything for your cat, feeding, playing, cleaning the litterbox. If your cat has specific needs or needs extra help with something I am available to meet those needs as well with instruction!
“Sarah was a wonderful cat sitter for my 10 month old kitten Boots. She looked after him for 2 days and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. She understood the nature of kittens and introduced herself in a way that Boots, who is usually shy, warmed up very quickly to her. She updated me with pictures, videos, and messages of Boots and the games she created for him. Thank you again for the care you gave to my kitten.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life — I have 3 dogs and 2 cats now, and I’ve raised everything from ducks to horses. I grew up with dogs, hatched and cared for ducks, and worked as a ranch hand, so I’m confident handling animals of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or farm animals, I bring calm energy, patience, and lots of love. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time during the week to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. I don’t offer boarding, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I know how important it is for animals to feel safe and relaxed in their own space, and I’ll make sure their routine is followed, their needs are met, and they get plenty of love while you’re away.
“Juliana is the best! She took such great care of our cat when we were away - she showered him with love, playtime, and attention every day and we are so grateful for her. We also loved that she left very detailed reports of each visit and sent us tons of pictures. Thank you so much Juliana!”
About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life and have been pet sitting for around 4 years. I have fostered many kittens and puppies as well! I also am pursuing a veterinary career and currently work in a veterinary hospital. I'm comfortable doing special care for pets and grooming (including nail trimming). I also do well with puppy training due to my experience fostering and owning pups! I'm currently working part time and work 8am-6pm Monday and Friday in a vet hospital. Throughout the week and weekend I am mostly at home. My job also allows me to bring pets with me to work! I typically start by making sure the animals in the house can smell me first and I'll give them treats(if allowed) so they can relax a bit. I also will adhere to any and all instructions left by the owner. I also will be able to play with pets and give them lots of attention!
About: I’ve been lucky to spend most of my life around animals - growing up with three amazing dogs gave me over 15 years of hands on experience, and I now have two sweet cats of my own (one of whom has asthma, so I’m also experienced with administering medication using an AeroKat). I love spending time with animals and believe in meeting each one where they’re at - whether that means a high energy walk, some playtime, or just quiet companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and routine. Whether you're out for the day or a longer trip, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I'm currently working from home and have a flexible schedule to stop by and care for your pet during the day - also available for overnights. Happy to follow instructions on how to care for your pet's specific needs - available to help with medication and have experience working with asthmatic cats.
About: I have valuable pet care experience from living in a condo with a housemate who had two cats. On weekends when he was away, I took on the responsibility of caring for them. This included weighing their food, cleaning their litter box, and refreshing their water daily. I also administered medication to one cat with hyperthyroidism, ensuring she received the proper care she needed. Additionally, I’ve housesat for a friend, where I fed their dogs according to strict diet plans. This role required me to wake up at 6 AM to ensure they were fed on schedule. Through these experiences, I developed strong pet care skills and a deep appreciation for the well-being of animals. I’ve always wanted a dog, but coming from a traditional Chinese family, my parents have always said no. By taking care of others' pets, I aim to earn money to pay off my grad school bills and work toward my dream of adopting a dog one day. My flexible work hours allow me to choose my schedule around pet care, with the exception of a few required meetings throughout the week. This flexibility makes it easy for me to dedicate time for walks, playtime, and overall care, ensuring that the pet feels loved and engaged. After a long day at work, I find great joy in taking walks allowing me to unwind and enjoy the fresh air. Caring for pets in a client’s home involves following their established routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime. I ensure pets receive their meals on schedule and get plenty of exercise. I also maintain hygiene by cleaning litter boxes and refreshing water, while administering any necessary medications. Safety is a priority, so I keep the home secure and monitor for hazards. Additionally, I provide affection and companionship to ease any anxiety the pets may feel. Regular check-ins with the owner keep them updated on their pets’ well-being, ensuring peace of mind while they’re away. As for my home, I live in the back unit of a duplex, where I have a spacious, fenced yard that’s perfect for taking care of pets. The large, green lawn offers plenty of room for dogs to play and explore, providing a safe and enjoyable environment. In the yard, there’s also a pergola with patio chairs, which creates a lovely shaded area during the warmer seasons.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life, and have experience with all ages as well! I’ve worked with high energy large dogs, as well as senior animals that require special attention. I appreciate every pet I come across and promise to treat them as I would my own! I’m a recent college graduate and work part time. On Wednesdays and Sundays I’m free to give your pet the love and attention they deserve! I don’t offer services in my own home, but I promise follow any of your pet’s specific needs and other house rules to the letter!
