“Laura was great. She cleaned some unfortunate litter box issues. Bless her. More importantly than that, though. I returned home to cats that were not stressed. This is a first for them and I’m so grateful.”
“Great personal care taken with Klaus, Mike was very attentive to the instructions left for him! He took great care to ensure Klaus had everything he needed while I was away. He even brought him a tennis ball to play with! I will definitely be re-booking with Mike!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life. I'm always the one everyone calls to sit, or when their pet is sick. We recently got a service dog for my daughter that I helped train. I was offered a job there, but it's too far to drive. I am incredibly patient and love animals more than people sometimes!😄 Haven't had an unhappy doggo yet! I stay home currently, and I am always with my Angel, training or walking or playing. He's my first dog. I've never known love like this! We go for walks multiple times a day. I have a fair amount of energy and some dog training experience. I already love your baby!
About: I am an outgoing, animal lover who volunteers weekly at surrounding dog shelters. Although I do not have any professional experience, I do have a dog of my own and, as mentioned, volunteer to walk shelter dogs. I am able to walk, play with, or visit your dog during the day. Because I am a full time student, my hours do tend to vary.I love dogs and have had a passion for them throughout my whole life. I prefer no more than 2 dogs at a time, although I can handle 3. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me ! I'm currently a full time student at Santa Clara University, so I do attend class 5x a week. However, I am completely free on weekends, and am available outside the hours 9am - 12:00pm. I am very flexible with times, and do not mind coming at any hour of the day as long as I am not in class. I am extremely comfortable with crating as well as putting on harnesses, jackets, etc. When in your pet's presence, he/she is my main priority and will have my focus and attention the entire time.

About: What sets me apart is my deep love and experience with huskies—I’ve proudly cared for three generations of my grandma’s huskies ( and if you know about them is that you NEED love in your heart and patience overall so I can proudly say I can take care of any dog with any necesity), each with their own quirks and needs. Since 2020, I’ve been actively training and dog-sitting, and over time, it’s become more than a job—it’s a passion. My friends even call me their “911” for dog walks and puppy emergencies! I’ve helped guide many first-time puppy parents with easy, effective care tips and routines. On any given day, I’m surrounded by a joyful pack of up to 10 dogs, and nothing makes me happier than sharing my energy, patience, and love with every pup I meet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work online, which gives me a super flexible schedule with free mornings and evenings. That means I’m able to adapt perfectly to your dog’s needs, whether it’s early walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles. Since I already care for a group of dogs daily, I’m used to creating a consistent, loving environment where every pup feels safe and happy. I love being active and outdoors, so spending quality time with dogs isn’t just doable—it’s the best part of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. In my home, I keep a clean, spacious, and dog-friendly environment where pups can play, rest, and feel right at home—especially those with high energy like huskies. I follow feeding schedules, keep water fresh, and make sure each dog gets individual attention, from walks to enrichment time. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care I give my own, sticking to their pet’s routines and preferences. I respect their space, keep communication open, and always leave things better than I found them. Whether it’s a puppy still learning or a senior dog that needs patience, I adapt and give them the love and structure they deserve.
About: I've taken care of puppies and dogs (mainly aussiedoodles) for the past few years. After I moved out, I now have an adult korat cat who I love! I work full time 9-5 monday through friday and unfortunately cannot housesit overnight on Tuesday nights. However, any other time you may need or any other day than Tuesday nights, I can do! I always try to let the animals have fun and feel like nothing has changed since. I can usually tell when an animal wants to go for a walk or play.
About: I have been dog sitting and fostering dogs for the past 15 years. I absolutely love being able to interact with and care for dogs of all ages and with varying needs. I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, from social and stable dogs to dogs that are reactive and need extra support in situations that they are unsure of. I also have knowledge in basic training, as I have trained my own dogs and have worked with the foster dogs to get them ready for adoption. I enjoy making sure the dogs I care for are fulfilled physically and mentally (play dates with other social dogs that have a compatible play style, pack walks, trick training, jogs, fetch, etc.). I look forward to having to opportunity to become a part of your dog's life. I have references and am more than willing to answer any questions. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a social worker at a therapeutic elementary school. I ensure that the dogs I care for are taken on walks and have an opportunity to play in the fenced in the yard in the morning so that they are tired and naturally want to sleep while I am at work. When I get home from work, I enjoy going on more walks, playing in the yard, bringing them on car rides to various places, scheduling play dates, trick training, etc. before we eat dinner and relax afterwards. My yard is fully fenced, providing a secure place for your dog to romp around. The fence is chain link, 6 feet tall, and reinforced on the bottom. My house is dog proof as well.
“Nicole was terrific! She did a great job getting our older & very shy cat to take her medicine and overall took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. It was great to know that they were in such good hands and we would definitely ask Nicole to sit for us again.”
