About: Hi, I’m Emily. I grew up with all kinds of pets and have always had animals in my life, so taking care of them just comes naturally to me. I’m starting school for radiology in September, so my schedule is pretty open right now and I’d love to help however I can. I’ve taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m reliable, patient, and careful to follow any instructions exactly as given. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities—whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra care. I’m also respectful of your space and always aim to leave your home just as I found it. Communication is important to me, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule right now with full availability during the week and weekends, which allows me to focus on providing reliable pet care. Once I begin school this fall, I’ll continue to offer care on evenings and weekends. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or some one-on-one attention, I’m happy to help when you need it. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m a pet owner myself and have animals at home, so I truly understand how much they mean to you. I always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I follow instructions carefully, stick to routines, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also respectful of your home and aim to make the whole process as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.
About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs majority of my life. From miniature poodle to German Shepard. I treat our furry friends like family. I currently am a registered nurse who works nights shift. My schedule is all over the place at times but I do get it about a month in advance. I’m part time which means 64 hours bi-weekly I don’t force the pets to like me. I let them come to me otherwise I believe it can be traumatic. I do tend to have treats to gain their trust.
About: Hi! I’m Kendal—an energetic, dog-loving sitter and future veterinarian with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether I’m walking high-energy dogs, comforting anxious rescues, or supporting senior pups with extra TLC, I always bring patience, empathy, and a vet-bound level of attentiveness. I’ve worked with animals through vet clinics, rescue organizations, and educational programs like Project Terrapin, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior and health. I adapt to your dog’s needs—whether that means fetch in the yard, calm companionship, or help with routine care. Every dog has their own personality, and I’m here to meet them right where they are—with enthusiasm, respect, and a whole lot of love. I am able to provide consistent, high-quality pet care each morning before 9am and every evening after 4pm Monday through Friday. I am available anytime on weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible. This includes timely feeding, walks (whether that be in their backyard, neighborhood, or taking them to a park), playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love! I keep your home clean and your pet happy, providing regular updates so you can travel with peace of mind. During overnight stays, I ensure your pet receives care in the evening, overnight, and morning, with a walk or check-in before I leave for my classes and attentive care once I return. For walks and drop-ins, I tailor the visit to your pet’s needs—whether that means an energizing walk or run, quiet company, or extra attention for nervous or senior pets. I make sure they have clean food and water, a potty break, and interaction that matches their personality and preferences. With a strong foundation in pre-veterinary studies and years of hands-on animal care experience, I offer thoughtful, dependable care for every pet I meet.
About: Hi, I'm Emily and animals have been at the heart and center of my entire life. Animals bring quality and enrichment to our lives and I like to give that back in return. I've been fortunate to have animals since I was a little girl, from Turtles, pocket pets, to cats, dogs, goats, horses and even a cow! In a professional capacity, I was a veterinary technician for over 8 years, providing emergency and routine care, for both large and small animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, chickens, cows, horses, and donkeys while owners were away for about the past 10 years. The last 4 years, I have been active in kennel clubs, taking classes and learning about dog training. My dogs have earned several AKC titles in the last few years. I plan to continue learning about dog behavior and training. I am currently taking clients for drop in visits and walks. Drop in visits will be tailored to your pet's specific needs, providing potty breaks, fresh food/water, cleaning, comfort, & play. Walks provide physical and mental stimulation, companionship, basic skills and play. I am currently homeschooling my son so I am more flexible in my day-to-day hours. Safety is of utmost importance. I am committed to your pet's mental, physical health, and safety overall. I will take care as I do my own. I recognize that each animal has its own personality, some are outgoing, some are shy. I will allow them to be who they are so that they can feel safe in my presence. I will communicate with you based on your preference. I can provide reports at the conclusion of each check-in or end of day, also happy to send photos if your pet is comfortable with that.
“Gabriella is wonderful, reliable, and kind. I was so worried about leaving our kittyboi for several days, because he needs heart medicine twice a day, and drinks running water from the sink. She made it all work out perfectly on a busy holiday weekend and sent regular updates, to assure me he was ok 🩷”
About: Hi my name is Averi, I have been around animals my entire life but have the most experience with dogs. I do have a charcoal lab of my own who is now a certified service animal that travels around to nursing homes and comforts those in need of puppy love. I recently got back from traveling abroad and am looking for a side job to back up my part time job! I have a 11 month lab of my own so she gets 3 meals a day, plus plenty of exercise to tire her out at night. I make sure to take her on at least one big hike a week to make sure she is getting that experience, and am always taking her into public for socialization I treat others animals as if they were my own, I take pride that I treat animals very well and am always willing to do anything to make sure the owners is as comfortable as can be. I believe that in order to make an animal act right they need to feel comfortable and safe, which requires patience and a soft hand.
About: I had multiple animals growing up, and always helped take care of them all. I’ve also helped take care of family, friends, and neighbors dogs and cats!

About: I grew up on a farm in Reseda, CA with as many as 9 dogs at 1 time and also goats, bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters. I had 3 dogs as an adult but they have all since passed away at the ages of 16, 16 and 17 so yes I take very good of my animals. I currently have 2 cats, Sydnee and Maycee who are 1.5. I hope to get another dog someday but until then, I hope to take care of and love your dogs like they are my own. I have a flexible schedule and I am available during the day for walks/feeding and or evenings/weekends for vacation pet sitting on pretty short notice. I can provide loving care of your fur babies in your home and treat them like my own. You can always trust that they are in good hands.

Emily M.
“I highly recommend Emily as a pet sitter. She was able to watch our dogs while we were out of town. We have 4 dogs, so it was quite a lot to ask of one dog sitter! She was willing to come over and meet the dogs and let me show her how to let them in and out, feed them, etc. before we left. Emily went above and beyond as she spent lots of time with them and even sent pictures of our fur babies getting lots of cuddles throughout our vacation so we knew that it was going well. Emily is trustworthy, responsible and caring. We would definitely hire her again!”
