“Taylor walked our kiwi banana while we were at work. She did a great job making sure our pup got some fresh air while we were gone.”

About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.

About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands on experience caring for friends’ and family dogs, as well as my own, using positive reinforcement at home. On walks, I focus on gentle, calm structure, making sure gear fits comfortably, reinforcing polite leash manners, and (if you’d like) practicing simple cues like “sit,” “wait,” and “leave it.” I’m patient with excited dogs and extra gentle with nervous pups, always prioritizing safety and giving plenty of space from other dogs and people when needed. Dogs who need extra space on leash are welcome, I’m comfortable with mild–moderate reactivity and I work at the dog’s comfort level using distance, calm handling, and positive reinforcement. You’ll get photo updates + a quick walk recap each visit, and meet & greets are always welcome. I’m available for dog walks Monday through Saturday, with flexible time blocks from morning to evening (6am–10pm). Sundays are my off day. I’m happy to work with one-time walks, weekly routines, and recurring midday potty breaks—whatever keeps your pup happiest and most consistent. Safety comes first on every walk. I double-check harness/collar fit, use secure leash handling, and stay alert to surroundings. I avoid on-leash greetings unless you request them, give dogs space from triggers, and keep walks calm and positive. I’ll follow your routine closely and send photo updates each visit.

“Angie did a great job with our 10 month old Border Collie. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter. She adores Angie and had a great time while we were out. We’ll be using Angie again!”

About: Animals have always been my passion! Ever since I was 13, I've taken care of many different kinds of animals, from scaley to furry; I've handled it all. I can dog walk, come to your home to pet or house sit, or stop by to let your dog out. You name it, I can do it! I live with 3 cats, and they all love attention! I also care for my dog and cat at my mother's as well when I can. I'll feed your pet, bathe your pet, take your pet to potty, play with your pet, and, of course, love on your pet! Animals are precious and always deserve love and attention.

“Amanda did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs. She communicated excellently, and spent quality time with them during the drop-in visit. We will definitely book with Amanda again.”

About: Hi pet parents! I am a college student at Cal Poly! I am an Animal Science major and plan on becoming a veterinarian. I have pet sat for family and friends for many years. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I have shadowed vets to gain experience for vet school so I have seen how animals are handled in a professional setting. I have a great passion for working with animals, and I can’t wait to meet your pet! Although I am a busy college student, I am very willing and able to care for your pets! I am able to work around my class schedule. Your pets safety is one of my priorities. I believe creating a sense of trust with your pet helps ensure their safety. I am very patient with animals and always want the best for them.

About: Hello! I have always loved taking care of animals, I have pet sat recently for my cousin, I used to pet sit for my neighbor before I moved, I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was a kid, and I’m experienced with both cats and dogs! I do work, but I have days off, and I don’t always work all day, I’ll know my schedule ahead of time, so I’d be be transparent with my availability. I’m always off on weekends though! Of course I’d talk to you about the pets routine, whether it be feeding or even bathroom times depending on your animal, and from there I’d make sure all the requirements are met! I’d play, and of course make sure I supervise your pet! I’ll make sure to follow any rules owners may have!

About: As a sitter/walker I combine reliability, hands-on experience, and a genuine commitment to each dog’s/cat’s individual needs. I have experience training puppies, including reinforcing basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and consistent routines that support positive behavior development. I have also worked with senior dogs and understand the additional patience, attentiveness, and comfort focused care they require. I am comfortable administering medication and following detailed care instructions to ensure pets stay healthy and safe. As a college student working part-time, I bring strong time management skills, responsibility, and dedication to every booking, treating each pet with the same level of care and consistency I would expect for my own. I am a student at Westmont College located in Montecito, CA but currently on summer break. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to fill that time enjoying time and taking care of your animals! My pets are very cared for, they are treated like family because they are. You can trust that I will give every and any animal on my care the utmost respect and love, and I will always let owners know if I notice anything out of the ordinary.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a teenager. I’ve always been reliable and will treat your pup with exceptional care! I’m mainly at home so I’ll have a lot of time to play with your pet! I will give your pets a lot of love, treats, and toys I have a house with a fenced yard with a decent size backyard. I also live by a nice park that I walk my dogs at.

About: I’ve always had a deep passion for caring for dogs, and from a young age, I’ve made it my mission to learn everything I can about their well-being. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior dogs and understand the extra attention and patience they require. Additionally, I have some experience training dogs, which has given me a solid foundation in understanding canine behavior and using positive reinforcement. My priority is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and am fully capable of administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to the unique behaviors and preferences of each dog and am always happy to follow any specific instructions or routines you provide. During each visit, I approach every task with calmness, patience, and consistency—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or walks. I also ensure your dog’s environment is clean and comfortable, as I believe in creating a space where both you and your dog feel at ease. Since I'm currently taking my college classes online and am looking for a job, I have a flexible and free schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time throughout the day for your dog. Whether it's taking them for walks, providing playtime, or checking in on thrm regularly, I'm able to accommodate your dog's needs at any time that works best for you! While caring for pets in a client's home I will go the extra mile to ensure safety and security of both the pet and the home. I will give detailed pre-visit communication, making sure to speak about the pets routines, health, and any specific needs. I will also ask about home security details, emergency contacts, and preferences regarding care of the home. I will do safety checks for any potential hazard such as open windows or gates, making sure everything is secure. I will monitor any areas that you'd like off-limits to the pet. I will pay close attention to the pets behavior and their interactions with the environment. I will always lock up after each visit and always be prepared with emergency contact information and knowing where the nearest vet is.

About: Growing up on the farm, there was no shortage of canines in my life starting very early. Companions, service dogs, working dogs, strays who wandered up and never left, I’ve taken care of almost every shape and size of dog! Starting with the chocolate lab I saved up for from my local rescue at 8 years old, to my most recent geriatric chihuahua, I love them all! I’m an artist with a very flexible schedule looking to fill a need in my community! I can accommodate nearly every shape and size of situation—especially holidays and last minute bookings! As someone with very high standards, I only wish to provide the services that I absolutely expect for my pets! You can always count on me to follow your instructions thoroughly and to the letter; your pet’s healthy and safety and your satisfaction as an owner is of the utmost importance to me!

About: I have a 5 year old rescue that we raised since she was a puppy. I have experience with dogs of all ages and can adjust my style of care to meet your dogs needs. Sometimes more intensive exercise can be hard to find time for when owners are working during the day. I am more than happy to take your pup on a run with me around the neighborhood for those high energy pets! I will work with you to make sure I am providing the care that you want for your pup. I am available throughout the mornings and midday during the work week. If there is a specific schedule you would like to keep, please let me know and we can figure something out. Please see my availability for more details. I focus on making sure your pup gets the attention and care they need while I am with them. Being home for hours can be stressful for pets, and I am happy to provide some care for them while you are away.

About: What distinguishes me as a dog sitter is the perfect blend of experience, genuine love for dogs, and a commitment to tailored care. I prioritize individual needs, creating a personalized and comfortable environment for each furry friend. Your dog's well-being is not just a duty but a love I bring to every wagging tail. My reliability as a pet sitter stems from a combination of experience and genuine care. With a lifelong connection to animals and a proven track record in pet sitting for friends and family, my dedication ensures a secure and loving environment for pets. Consistency, attention to detail, and a heartfelt passion for animals is what makes me who I am as a pet sitter! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently work part-time while completing nursing school fully online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This flexibility allows me to work with your pet’s normal routine and provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I’m able to maintain feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and all the little routines that help pets feel comfortable and secure. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love and am passionate about, and I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own. My clean and spacious apartment, coupled with a yard, creates an ideal pet haven. With a clutter-free environment, pets can navigate freely and safely. The yard offers a designated space for outdoor play and exploration. Regular cleaning routines ensure a hygienic setting.

About: All my life I’ve had animals . I’ve had everything from Min Pins to Pitties. They rely on us and deserve the best care and environment. I am currently a stay at home mom. I am home all day except to drop off and pick up my child from school. Weekends are usually spent at home relaxing in the backyard. I have a fence in backyard with a doggy door that allows animals to come and go through out the day. I let dogs on the couch to cuddle. 🥰

“Ashlee was prompt, attentive, great with Ranger and kept us updated the whole time. We definitely would have Ashlee again if she’s available. We highly recommend her.”
