We have handled over 100 different dogs , no job is to small! 😃 I will interact with your dog and keep them entertained while they’re on their stay. I treat all dogs like they’re my own and our house is their house! They’re allowed to free roam inside and out! I’m very good with dogs as I do a lot of training I know how to work with them and handle them 😊 Hello, I’m available to work any day of the week and I do take last min as well as. This is my full time job. I'll make sure they are on leashes before getting off the car. I never drive fast with you're animals in the car and I'll keep an eye on them the whole time on the way to our destination.
“I had a sitter cancel night before for I needed to leave the country and Ana immediately came in to save the day! She has been very patient with my fear aggressive healer and she’s probably the only other person he feels comfortable. Thank you for your help Ana!”


About: I genuinely care for every animal like my own and am very good at following a schedule or routine. I am gentle and empathetic towards every person and animal I meet. I love to make sure that owners will have peace of mind with texts and pictures throughout our time together. I am happy to enforce training habits and am familiar with many different tactics. I am currently working part time from 9:00-3:30 so I am available anytime outside of those hours. I also have holidays off of work. I am also working on school online so my schedule outside of work is very flexible. I care deeply for all of my pets and have grown up around different animals my whole life. I set alarms to make sure I am punctual with feeding times and make sure to write down all of the important details that come with caring for someone’s baby.

“Clairece took great care of our dog Cooper and made us feel comfortable leaving him with her. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about him. We especially appreciated that she accepted our booking at the last minute after another sitter canceled on us, which was a huge relief. We really appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which helped us know he was doing well while we were away. She followed our instructions, kept him happy and comfortable, and treated him like her own. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. We had a great experience and would absolutely book with her again! We’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”

About: I don’t just watch pets, I build trust with them. By learning their routines and personalities, I create a calm, familiar experience that keeps them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I plan my weekly schedule around the pets in my care to ensure I can meet their specific needs—whether that’s regular walks, medication timing, feeding routines, or extra attention. I keep a consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and owners can rely on dependable care. At this time, I offer pet care exclusively in my client’s home. While I’m not able to host pets in my own space, I’ve found that staying in their home keeps them more relaxed and comfortable. I stick closely to their usual routine, meals, walks, playtime, and any special care so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re gone.
“Juliann (nickname is June) was awesome with our fur babies! June sent pictures and messages regularly and wasn’t shy to ask any questions, as they came up, to be sure the best care was given. Our house was clean and taken care of too. I would definitely recommend June to house sit/pet sit, and will definitely be my first call next time I need a sitter! Thx, June! - Erin”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs since I was 12 and now I’m 18. I have a big dog of my own that’s playful and loving. I love all dogs and cats because they’re so sweet and caring and give unconditional love. I currently work part-time at McDonald’s so my schedule could be a bit mixed up but on my free time I would love to spend time with pets! I can’t take care of pets in my home because I have no yard. However I would be a great dog walker/babysitter in your lovely pets home!
“Kendra is amazing!! From our first meet and greet, she let my 90lb dog give her kisses all over her face and they were comfortable together right off the bat. She gave proactive updates and was great at communicating while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with Kendra again!!”

I'm skilled in providing gentle attention, administering medications, and ensuring their comfort. I'm attentive to each pet's unique needs, creating a safe and happy environment for them. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine because I structure my day to ensure your furry friends get plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime as well as walks, feeding schedules, and cuddle sessions, making pet care a joyful part of my life. Whether at my place or yours, pet care is all about creating a safe, comfy, and fun environment. At my home, I have a pet-proofed space with cozy beds, toys, and a secure yard for playtime. At your home, I follow your routine, respect your rules, and shower your pets with love and attention, ensuring they feel secure and happy while you're away.
About: I have had 3 dogs in the past that I love dearly, I enjoy going on walks with them and I love playing as well. I am currently not working and just taking a summer art class for college. I am free almost every day of the week and any time. Having a fence yard, a good neighborhood to walk around and friendly pets would be great. A good schedule for the times and how much food to give them would be great as well

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs and puppies since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of various sizes, including small breeds like Chihuahuas and larger breeds like German Shepherds and Old English Sheepdogs. I’ve helped neighbors and several family members with everything from basic needs to more specialized care, including feeding prescription medicine, regular bathing, and grooming. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m dedicated to providing the love and attention your pet deserves! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule to care for your dog. I’m available throughout the day and can adjust to meet your pet’s needs! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving environment where they can feel at home. Whether it's playtime, walks, or relaxation, I ensure a stress-free and happy experience. If your dog is crate-trained or requires crating, I’m happy to accommodate their routine!
About: I have had several dogs as pets. I practically grew up with them. I learned everything I could about how to take care of animals and even love to train them a little bit. My family and friends always tend to rely on me to not only train their dog a little, but also take care of their pets while they’re gone. I’m currently looking for a more stable job, but am volunteering at Tulare County Animal Services. I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets in the mean time. I have a medium sized backyard and no other pets in the home at the moment. I have transportation available for any house sitting needed.
“Madison is the most wonderful pet sitter EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job. We were gone for two weeks and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog and cat. The loving care was outstanding & gave us peace of mind we were on vacation. Thank you!”

“We are thrilled with the amazing job Frankie did while taking care of our dog, Mochi. From the moment we met Frankie, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. Throughout the entire time, she was incredibly caring and attentive to Mochi’s needs. We especially appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent us, which gave us peace of mind knowing that Mochi was in good hands. Mochi absolutely loved her, and we could tell he was happy and comfortable. We highly recommend Frankie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate puppy sitter. Thank you, Frankie, for your outstanding service!”

About: I’ve worked with dogs as young as 8 weeks to as old as 15 years. I’ve also worked with dogs as small as a chihuahua to as big as a poodle. Im a college student and have some flexibility in my schedule but working weekends is the best time to pet sit, however if you message me about a specific time during the week id love to see if we can work something out. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for pets, whether I’m in their home for a drop-in visit or staying overnight. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, so pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. Safety is my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I make sure pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also respect my clients’ homes as if they were my own, keeping things tidy and secure while they’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing both their pets and their home are in trustworthy hands.
