“Shannon was great she kept me updated with photos and texts throught the sit. Kept my Jasper dog all calm and happy. My house was clean and perfect when we returned home.”
“Amazing experience. Nancy was so kind and took great care of our pet”
About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, and birds. I treat them with respect all the same. I will always treat with respect to them. It can benefit to my day to day life. I left the bay area where my folks have their dogs and I can't see them right now. So, it would be nice to spend time with dogs again. I have a wonderful home where I have 3 cats that are spoiled rotten. If I had a dog, they'd be spoiled too. The dog will be leashed the entire time I'm with them. Because I believe in safety above all else. Like when I'm going for a walk, if I see a situation, I'll take my dog across the street. No interaction whatsoever. Because I want to avoid confrontation.
About: I first dog sat for my grandparents when I was twelve and since then I have dog sat for other friends and family members and loved each and every time. I love getting to know your pets and their personalities and being a friend to them while their family is away. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs who need a little extra care after spending several years caring for my family's basset hound before she passed. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend playing with your fur fam! While my work schedule changes from week to week, my shifts are never more than five hours which means that I can stop by often for pup potty breaks! I am happy to stop by your home multiple times a day and make sure that your furry friend has food water, has gone potty, and been walked and played with! I am also happy to water plants! If your dogo needs someone there during the night I am open to that as well :)

About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been part of my world—feeding chickens before breakfast, brushing horses after school, and getting covered in dog hair in between! I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I’ve always had an easy, natural connection with animals. They seem to sense that I’m one of the good ones. I’m great at picking up on their vibes—whether they’re in the mood to zoom around or just want some chill cuddle time. Taking care of animals is second nature to me, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I live a flexible lifestyle and am fully available to care for your pets. Since I’m not tied to a traditional job or schedule, I can offer your fur babies lots of time, attention, and consistency. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here to help and happy to adapt to your routine. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment wherever I’m staying. I care for pets in their own familiar space, which helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your home, and can adapt to any special needs your pet may have—whether that means crating, administering medication, or extra cuddle time.
“Marin was very professional and always communicated through the whole time we were gone and not to mention we feel the service was reasonable. She also sent photos and updated us with their schedules. I would have Marin watch our three dogs again. Thank You again Marin!”
About: Ive owned animals my whole life! I’ve worked at a veterinarian clinic for two years as a veterinarian assistant, currently working on becoming a veterinarian technician.

Friday through Sunday I’m up by 7 am to tend to my animals! I have a fenced double lot yard for your babies to run! I also have a crate or room for your crates.

“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Amanda is! Her communication is 10/10 and she is so patient and understanding with dogs that are a bit more challenging. I would absolutely recommend her if you need a reliable pet sitter!”
About: In my six years of animal care, I have taken care of many animals, from dogs to birds, and grew up on a large farm... so I have seen a few things. I have just moved to Redding and I don’t have a job so I have plenty of time to take care of your little ones. For my dogs, I feed them in the morning and take them on many walks throughout the day so that they will be tired out to rest at night. I will also check their water each day to make sure it is not empty or dirty.
About: I am a professionally trained K9 expert. I went to a 4 month emersion program to study the behavior of the amazing animals and now I feel I am way more prepared to communicate with K9s now that I understand them as they try to understand us! I have had dogs of my own since I was a child all the way through adulthood. Potty breaks, socializing and and playtime are key pillars in our daily routine. K9s aren't just animals for a lot of us they are apart of our family. A foundation that we come home to everyday. People have their own routines and I will make sure to do the best i possibly can when caring for your furry family member the best way I can!
“Ivy was great. She took care of whatever I needed, and was fantastic with communication and sending me pictures. She house sat for me and I never would've known someone was there because she left everything tidy :)”
“Hanna did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and two cats over the weekend. She came over multiple times to let my elderly dog out to prevent accidents, took her on walks, played with my kitties, watered my plants outside, and even picked up a new container of treats for my kitties since they were running out. Will definitely book again!”
“I had a great experience with Makenna taking care of our dog, cats, fish and our home. She made sure to give updates and I felt comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you Makenna! I will definitely rebook with you!”

If she ever feels that she needs more information, she does not hesitate to research and find the best solution. Every pet left in her care will be nurtured and loved. She has a natural ability to sense how animals are feeling, and what they are doing. If you’re concerned about leaving your pet with a complete stranger, you can put your faith in Emily.
