“A 10 star review! Tyler stayed in contact during our trip and everything was excellent. Our active Lab got plenty of play and run time, complete with photos and quick notes. Arrived home to a pre cleaned house including bedding, towels and dishes. We’ve booked him for next two trips already.”

“Emily did an incredible job housesitting our two dogs Samson and Ruby! Loved getting updates on how they spent the day and all the pictures of our babies while we were on vacation! We look forward to having her watch our puppies again in the future! ❤️”

About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since 2009 with various experiences with my personal pets and many other family members pets. My uncle used to be a K9 police dog trainer and has many personal pets. Through him, i've been exposed to various sizes, mentalities, and activity limits. My experiences with big dogs like Great Danes and intelligent dogs like Belgian Malinois give me the confidence to handle any pets! I also have experienced dogs that can be easily spooked and might produce scary looking body language, allowing me to handle de-escalation while respecting the pet. Overall, I have seen all types of dogs and am equipped to give your pets a fun experience! I am currently working a day shift on UC Davis campus but can be available after 4:30pm on weekdays and anytime works on the weekends! I can take care of pets in a clients home by providing treats if allowed and using the environment of the clients home to entertain their pet. I won't be able to care for pets in my own because I don't have proper space, but I can walk them around the neighborhood!
About: I have a dog of my own and two cats, and I’ve spent countless hours training them and giving them all the love and support they could ever need. I’ve also cared for family members' pets, volunteered at shelters, and worked as an assistant at a dog grooming salon, so I truly understand what each pet needs. Your dog will receive personalized attention and feel like part of my family! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine since I work part-time and have plenty of availability. I’m flexible with dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and while my schedule may vary week to week, I always keep it updated so you’ll know exactly when I’m available. I’m more than happy to work with you to find times that best fit your needs and your pet’s routine When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize the pet owner’s expectations and requests. Whether it’s sticking to a specific feeding schedule, following their daily routine, or providing extra playtime, I make sure to follow their guidelines exactly as they ask. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind while you’re away is my priority!
About: I love pets! More than human most of the time. I enjoy talking to them and learning from them, and playing! Your baby will be in very good hands with me!

“Tylyn did a fantastic job house sitting while we were away. She sent us pictures throughout the whole weekend and put us at ease. Would absolutely recommend her. Our dogs are pretty high strung being pointers, and she was wonderful for our fur babies!!”

“Christina took great care of our fur babies while we were out of town getting married! We have never had someone stay in our home to take care of our animals besides family and there were no issues.”


“She went above and beyond to care for my dogs, as well as clean up the messes they made by playing (dirt, etc.). I have a large protective dog who barked at her for a while when he saw her on the first visit, but she was very patient and he eventually warmed up to her. She made their they got their (copious amounts of) energy out on each visit by playing with them until they were exhausted.”

“Sarah was a wonderful sitter. She showed so much care for our dog. She was communicative and I felt so comfortable knowing she was there. When we returned from a week long trip our dog seemed so content and our house looked great! I would definitely hire Sarah again!”
“Sequoyah is a very thoughtful and caring person. She took great care of our dog and our home while we were away, and sent frequent updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing Harper was in great hands!”

About: Important: Rover wont let me change it but i cant watch animals at my home due to landlords policy.I have taken care of birds, rodents, dogs, cats and reptiles. I love animals and I tend to be a quiet person so animals tend to like that lol. My own pets have been rats, a dog named Sachi, and a hamster named Theodore. I sometimes take care of my roommates lizard, a bearded dragon named Goro. I currently dont have any pets. I have open availability since I am currently unemployed, but I am searching for full time work. I can be up as early as 6am. I usually am wary of things like wires and other electronics, and I never leave food out in the off chance some furry creature might eat it.

I will write a list of your dogs needs and make sure to strictly follow it so your pets feels comfortable with me in your home! I am home all day everyday and if I need to go out its for no longer than an hour or two! So your pet will not be lonley. I feed my dog in the morning and take him for a walk.

About: I worked at Mountain View Animal Hospital starting as a receptionist the. Transferring to a kennel assistant. As a receptionist I had to communicate information to the client regarding their pets care and meds. Which helped me learn the medical aspect of the hospital. I then realized I wanted to spend more time with the animals so I transferred to be kennel assist. I was feeding, bathing and playing with the boarding dogs and cats. Following all instructions on meds, meals, and restrictions a client request to take care of their furry friends. Along with my experience at the hospital I’ve always grown up with households full animals. I’m a stay at home mom who spends most of my time taking care of my daughter. This will give me the opportunity to use my time spending it with some loving pets. I am not offering services in my home at the moment. With that in mind I do find myself to very clean and mindful. You wil always return to your home at it was, and your fur babies happy. I am always attentive, I make sure to keep an eye on them so I can notice any change in behaviors. Your furry friend will always feel loved and safe. If there are any medications or food restrictions I always am careful and make sure that they remain on schedule and routine.

About: I’ve been around all kinds of dogs since I was young. I have always loved being around dogs(and cats!), I definitely bond better with animals than humans.
