Pet Sitting Port Costa

“Nathan was such a huge help with Lucky! He was incredibly attentive and quickly picked up on Lucky’s individual quirks and needs. He confidently handled Lucky’s dog reactivity on walks, instinctively knew not to reinforce his mouthiness when he gets excited, and consistently rewarded good behavior with treats and praise. Lucky warmed up to Nathan very quickly, which says a lot, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such capable hands. Nathan followed all of my instructions closely and clearly has great instincts with dogs. He even fixed an issue with my microwave while he was here, which was an unexpected and very appreciated bonus! 😂 I would absolutely trust Nathan with Lucky again and highly recommend him!”

“Nancy was wonderful with my cats! She was so sweet and they seemed to warm up to her instantly. She was very helpful accommodating when the timing of my plans changed and I was confident that my cats were well cared for while I was away. I will definitely request Nancy’s services again in the future!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to my dog Honey and cat Zoey, I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I bring not only personal experience but also hands-on training from fostering animals and volunteering at our local animal shelter. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—each with their own personality, quirks, and needs. From energetic pups who need long walks to shy kitties who need patience and a gentle touch, I tailor my care to suit every pet. Whether you’re looking for daily check-ins or dog walks, I provide dependable, loving attention to keep your pets happy, healthy, and relaxed while you’re away. I’m also experienced with administering medication and working with pets that need a little extra care or reassurance. Let’s connect and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away My current job is only part time, and I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate your pets needs. I am available almost every morning and afternoon. I provide fresh food and water at all times, clean litter boxes/ pick up dog poop and make sure to spend some time with each pet and provide enrichment activities.

About: I’ve taken care of my puppy and have experienced training him since he was 8 weeks old and now he’s over 2 years old and very energetic and playful. I’ve also taken care of my cat and experienced administering medications through injection and orally when he got really sick. He’s now 5 years old and thriving. I work from home 3 times a week so I have flexibility and on the days I’m in office, I can still make time early morning or evening. We live in a single family home and have dog gates to separate cats and dogs as needed to give them safe spaces. We also have a fenced backyard so doggies can run and play catch.

“Thank you so much for caring for our spotty boy! We really appreciate you and the time you took to come see to his needs. Excellent work, super responsive and communicative.”

About: Funny enough, I didn’t grow up as a dog person! I was born and raised in San Francisco and spent most of my life living in an apartment where pets weren’t allowed. I actually grew up being afraid of dogs—I still remember running away from a tiny poodle as a kid! That all started to change when my friends began getting fur babies of their own. The more time I spent around their dogs, the more I realized how sweet, loving, and full of personality they were. Slowly, that fear disappeared and turned into a genuine love for dogs. Before I knew it, I was getting attached to every pup I met! When my brother and sister-in-law got their Corgi in 2022, I absolutely fell in love with him. I honestly lost count of how many times I visited them just to see their pup! I was always happy to offer to babysit whenever they were away, which gave me more hands-on experience caring for a dog on my own. Over the past 5 years, I’ve helped care for and dogsit for family and friends, and eventually, I knew I wanted a fur baby of my own. I’m now a proud dog mom to a Samoyed who I’ve raised since he was just 9 weeks old. He’s a little over 1.5 years old now, and raising him from such a young age has taught me so much about puppy care, routines, feeding, walks, playtime, training, patience, and handling all that puppy energy! My boyfriend also has a Boston Terrier, so our household is currently home to two very different pups—my big, fluffy Samoyed and his much smaller Boston Terrier. Living with and caring for both of them every day has given me experience managing multiple dogs with different personalities, sizes, energy levels, and needs. It has also taught me that every dog is different, and getting to know their individual quirks and personalities is one of my favorite parts of being around them. Because I know firsthand what it’s like to go from being unfamiliar with dogs to completely falling in love with them, I have a lot of patience and respect for each dog’s individual personality and comfort level. I also know how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: to give your pup the same love, attention, patience, and care that I would want someone to give my own. ❤️ I work a Monday–Friday desk job and usually work remotely from home, so I’m able to be around throughout the day to give your fur baby plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My weekends are also free, which gives me even more flexibility for daycare and boarding. I occasionally need to go into the office for meetings or special projects. On those days, I typically leave early around 5:30 AM and am back home by about 2:30 PM (or earlier). My flexible schedule allows me to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine and give your fur baby plenty of love, attention, and company while they’re staying with me. Since I have two pups of our own, walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of doggy attention are already a regular part of my daily routine! 🐾 I live in a quiet townhome community in Hercules, just a few minutes’ walk from beautiful Refugio Valley Park—perfect for walks, fresh air, and some extra sniffing time! My home is a two-story townhome with a fenced backyard, giving the pups a secure outdoor space for potty breaks and supervised playtime. I have two house-trained fur babies, a Samoyed and a Boston Terrier, so my home is already very dog-friendly. I also understand that every pup has their own personality and comfort level. There are baby gates throughout the house to section off different areas when needed, whether that means giving energetic pups their own space to play or providing a quieter area for those who would rather relax and lounge on the couch. Speaking of couches—pups are welcome! There are two couches with plenty of room for anyone who wants to curl up, get comfy, and make themselves at home. There are also crates in a variety of sizes, toys, and other pet supplies available when needed. For additional safety and peace of mind, my home is equipped with cameras to keep an extra eye on the pups and my home environment when needed. Safety and comfort are very important, and I’m happy to follow your pup’s normal routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any specific care instructions you provide. My home is also within walking distance of Hercules Pet Hospital, which gives me additional peace of mind should veterinary care ever be needed. Ultimately, I want your pup to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here—and for you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for like one of my own. ❤️

“Alex is great! She has been taking care of my cat's needs while I am convalescing from back surgery. She's always on time, never cuts any corners and always asks if there is anything else that she can do. She's very motivated. My shy cat likes her, which is a big plus. I highly recommend hiring her!”

About: Hi! 💕 I’m a loving and attentive pet owner of 3 years who understands how much our furry friends mean to us. I know pets deserve patience, affection, and care, and I’ll treat your fur babies like my own! My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I'm a retired officer, background-checked through Rover, and have more than 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as friends', family members', and clients' pets. Throughout my career and personal life, responsibility, trustworthiness, and attention to detail have always been important to me, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. In 2016, I adopted Barney the Shih Tzu, followed by Jack in 2019. Both were estimated to be about four years old at the time. In 2025, Jack passed away from bone cancer, giving me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog with significant medical needs. In 2022, I rescued Penny, the white pup in my profile photo. Certifications & Experience • Cat & Dog First Aid (American Red Cross) • Experience administering oral medications • Experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs • Experience caring for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, and temperaments, including a large Rottweiler I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slower-paced, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I'm home much of the time. This allows me to provide regular companionship, potty breaks, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Because I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time, I am able to provide a more personalized level of attention and maintain a calmer environment for the pets in my care. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. Consistency helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while their owners are away. My schedule is generally flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of care needs, including daycare, overnight care, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in a client's home. Pick-up and drop-off service may be available depending on distance and scheduling. My dogs are part of the family and spend much of their time relaxing near us, on the furniture, or curled up on a lap. Visiting pets are treated with the same level of care, attention, and companionship while in my home. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless owners request otherwise. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs I accept at one time to help create a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. This allows me to provide close supervision and a more personalized experience than many high-volume pet care settings. If you prefer your dog to be crated for sleeping, feeding, or when unattended, I'm happy to accommodate as long as a crate is provided. Visiting dogs should be reasonably housebroken, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis for puppies and special circumstances. Meet-and-greets are strongly preferred whenever possible before services begin. They allow me to learn about your pet's personality, needs, and comfort level while helping determine whether my home and care style are a good fit. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's home, providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and attentive supervision. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, consistency, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I dog sit of my friend dog once a while for almost 5 years. She normally stay with me more than 7 days. I’m good at take her out for a walk even during raining day. I love to give them belly rub. I spend most of my weekend at home so I have time to take care pet during the weekend. I like to take pet wherever I go, otherwise I feel bad for leave them at home for a long time. I live in a two story townhouse with 2 bedrooms, offering plenty of space for small dogs to comfortably move around and go up and down the stairs. There’s a community park right outside my home, and I love spending time outdoors. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air, especially if they enjoy being active.

About: I have always had pets including fish, cats, dogs and a chinchilla. I have pet sit 4 dogs at a time and house sat for family and friends. Over the summer I work, go to school and play sports part time, but I have a good amount of time in the morning and afternoon to check in on all animals! I have a fenced backyard, friendly dogs and experience with dogs and cats. In your home I will ask for specific instructions on pet and home care to ensure the best care and experience with your pets!

“Tamiko was wonderful this past wknd with my 2 furry guys!! She did 2 drop-in visits on both days and was great communicating with me about my two young cats, checking in and out, sending pics, playing with especially my youngest, etc. I am glad I found Tamiko, as she also lives very close by -- super convenient!! Thank you Tamiko 😻”
