About: I started volunteering at the Antioch Animal Shelter in the 4th grade. Since then I have volunteered at numerous shelters and rescues, including the emergency animal shelter in Oroville after the Camp Fire. I'm Disaster Animal Rescue Team (D.A.R.T.) trained, animal CPR and first aid certified, and have years of TNR experience. I have had many exotics as pets, including a reef tank at one time. I have no issue feeding crickets and worms, but I can't feed snakes rodents. I'm a lifelong vegetarian, so that would traumatize me. Lol. I also love rodents, and currently have 2 rescue guinea pigs. Animal care and nutrition are a passion of mine. I'm also an expert teeth brusher! I brush my cats and dogs teeth every night and some of my pet sits as well. I'm very experienced giving medication, even pills to cats and my recently adopted cat Ricky is diabetic. Two of my regular cats I sit take meds, and one gets insulin injections, so I'm very comfortable with both and also know how to check blood glucose. Animals are allowed on the furniture in my home, even the bed. A couple of dogs I regularly sit sleep in the bed with me and my dogs. I treat other people's furbabies the way I would want my furbabies treated. I'm a helicopter pet parent so I totally understand how hard it is to trust someone with the ones you love. If I ever thought something was wrong with your pet I would notify you asap, and I have no issue taking an animal to the vet. I have a rescue dog who has occasional seizures and a rescue kitty with kidney disease that I give sub-q fluids to every day, so I am very comfortable with special needs animals. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to pet care. I actually have a pet thermometer and carry a microchip reader in my truck with an extra leash. You'd be surprised how many times I've used that chip reader! Being a helicopter pet parent I NEVER EVER leave an animal outside alone, not even in my fenced in yard. I don't take chances. I'm also obsessively clean, so your litter box will not be a hot mess when you return, and if your dog uses a potty pad no problem. I also have waterproof vinyl plank flooring so accidents and kitty puke is easy to clean up. :-D. When I board animals it is very much mi casa esu casa! I'm also more than happy to water plants when I do drop-ins as well, since I have them myself and am also a gardener. :-) I work from home 3 days a week and the other 2 days I come home for lunch since the office is only 2.5 miles from my house. I'm home most weekends as well. I follow the care instructions to the letter. If your pup requires a crate it must be brought with them, since mine are not crated. I am comfortable giving medication and supplements, measuring food, following a raw food diet, feeding exotics, etc. I'm also comfortable grooming for an extra fee, but will never ignore a mat in their fur or charge extra for daily grooming like toothbrushing.

About: Hello, we are Natalie & Chau. I, Natalie, was a teacher who is certified in CPR. I have my bachelors in psychology and worked as a supervisor and teacher for developmentally disabled adults and teenagers. However my passion had always been about animals ever since I was 5 years old. So now I am living my dream surrounded by animals of all kinds! Both my partner and I work from home so there is always someone home and it’s double the fun! My family and I are well versed in dog training methods and are very well adapted towards handling multiple dogs at once. We live on a mini 1 acre farm so your dogs can experience a mini vacation/retreat while they’re here. It is also very therapeutic for dogs who have anxiety as we have small farm animals and our garden for them to enjoy. On days when the weather is good we like to be in the yard to play off-leash and they can spend time with my dogs indoors as well. During the afternoon we stay indoors and then they will spend the night with me in my room. There will be naps involved and lots of love! We have just moved three years ago and we are finally reopen to new doggy friends from around the area. We are not doing in house meet and greets due to safety reasons but we can meet you at the local park nearby! I’m home all the time so they would be with me 24/7 unless I’m out on an errand. I will not ever leave dogs alone in the car without me. I have an acre of fenced yard. If your dog is more of a hunter than a lover of small animals such as a chicken we would be leashed to walk around the property. There is plenty of space!

“Tamara is wonderful sitter that took care of all of dog's needs with patients and attentive care. I would not hesitate to rebook with her again as needed”

About: I’ve raised everything from lambs, goats, chickens to loving on our family pets. I’ve had dogs and cats too. We currently have two dogs. A Great Pyrenees/ Komondor and a Chiweenie I stay home/ homeschool kids. Pet care is a perfect fit with our lives. We’d love to love on your pets while we work as a family to give the best attention and care. We believe that the best way to love and enjoy our furry friends is the same way we operate as a family with love , respect, & boundaries.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've cared for my own dogs as well as those belonging to friends, family members, and rescue organizations. I am currently volunteering as a transport driver for NorCal Boxer Rescue and Gettin' Home Transport, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle giants like St. Bernards, I've worked with a wide variety of dogs and understand that each one has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. My goal is always to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while they're in my care. I am retired after 42 years with the federal government. I spend most of my time at home with my retired husband, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Aside from occasional errands, I’m available to ensure your dog(s) receives consistent care and affection. Our home is designed with dogs' comfort in mind. We have a large, grassy, fully fenced backyard and a dog door that allows dogs to come and go freely at their own pace. In addition, I regularly take dogs outside for potty breaks throughout their stay. Dogs are treated like family here and are welcome on the furniture and beds. We provide pet stairs to help them safely access couches and beds, making them feel as comfortable as they would in their own home. Daily walks are offered during the cooler parts of the day, typically in the early morning and again in the late afternoon or evening. Providing a safe, secure, and loving environment is my top priority. Our large, fenced backyard offers plenty of space for exercise, play, and relaxation. We also share our home with two friendly, long-haired, five-year-old Dachshunds who enjoy the company of visiting dogs. We strive to maintain a calm, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can settle in comfortably and enjoy their stay. We provide extra dog beds for guests, and if your dog prefers or requires a crate, you're welcome to bring your own. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddling on the couch, relaxing in the yard, or simply being around caring people, they'll receive personalized attention and plenty of love while you're away.

About: I care deeply about every pet’s wellbeing, drawing from experience caring for people and animals to give each one gentle, attentive, and truly loving support. My flexible schedule gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I offer weekend boarding and weekday care after 3 pm, with earlier times available upon request. We treat our pet like family and yours will be no exception. Trust that your pet will have company and plenty of space to play.

“Nicole was and is very accommodating and genuinely comes off as an animal lover which was very wonderful to find. It’s not easy leaving your fur babies with strangers but she went out of her way to make mine feel welcome and make sure that she didn’t overwhelm him. I fully plan on using her services again and would wholeheartedly recommend her if any of you are interested in a good dog sitter.”

“Nicole is great! I have not been a dog Mom since I was seven. My doggy is a new Rescue to me. That being said, he's very excitable as well as not potty trained yet . Nicole was very patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. I had a previous boarding experience that did not go so well because the dogs in the home barked at mine the entire time he was there (days). With that information, Nicole introduced her dogs to mine one at a time. My dog spent several hours at her home and got along so well with her fur babies. It was like a great play date! I am happy to have her as a resource should I need to board my pup.”

“Sade responded very quick on a Saturday night for a Sunday morning booking. My shy pup was well taken care , safe and sound! Sade updated me with photos of her settling in throughout the day. Sade and her family are a responsible, loving pet haven. We will be back!”

Maria C.

“Our dog had a great visit. She was loved on, played with all day, and was treated like a part of their family. Will definitely be using them again.”
