Trisha was amazing with our doggies. We have a senior and puppy and she was so attentive to both their needs given their very different energy levels. We can’t wait to have her back. Also, worth noting is that she was punctual, responsive to chats, and gave very detailed notes regarding each visit. I felt at ease knowing we had a trustworthy person in our home caring for our dogs. (Thanks so much, Trisha. You were great! 💖)

About: Hi, my name is Jenny and I have a lifelong love of animals. I have cared for various types over the years including dogs, cats, birds, fish, chickens, goats, and horses. I have the most experience with cats, dogs, birds and fish. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we are the proud parents of five lovely girls (two are grown up and starting lives of their own) two amazing labradoodles and two sweet kitty cats who we fostered from our local animal shelter. We have a large family with lots of love to share and a large, secure fenced yard for furry friends to play in, plus a devoted indoor cat area where cats can sit back, relax, and enjoy freedom in a safe environment. Dogs have the freedom to go in and out at their leisure, and I also have a private area for dogs who don’t want to be around other dogs. I am interested in expanding my pet sitting clientele and I hope you will consider me for your pet care needs! Please feel free to ask me anything- I look forward to meeting you! I run my own business from home, leaving me plenty of time and availability to offer a loving and safe environment to furry friends who can’t be left alone. I have a fully fenced, dog-safe yard, and a dedicated room just for cats. All animals will be treated with love and kindness, as though they are members of our own family 💗

About: Whether it’s high-energy playtime or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I also prioritize communication, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they feel at ease while away. My focus is always safety, routine, and love—because I know pets aren’t just animals, they’re family. I am a teacher currently on summer vacation. I would love to fill my time with lots of loving pets and fun adventures. Fun paws. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets— I also tailor walks to your pet’s age and energy—puppies get structure and play, seniors get gentle movement and fresh air. No matter what, I’m always focused on their well-being, safety, and happiness—and I keep you in the loop with updates and cute photos along the way.

About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.

About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.

Rikiya did an excellent job taking care of my dog Max while I was away. He made sure Max was happy, safe, and well looked after, and spent time playing with him. Beyond the pictures he sent, Rikiya also shared a short video of Max, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind to see how happy and comfortable Max was. I’m very grateful for his help and would definitely recommend Rikiya to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I would happily have him take care of Max again!

About: I have always been drawn to the unique personalities and loyalty of our furry friends, and my passion for understanding their behavior has led me to pursue a studies and certifications in dog psychology. As a certified dog psychologist, I have undergone extensive training in canine behavior and have gained a deep understanding of the complex dynamics between dogs and their owners. I believe that every dog is unique and deserves a customized approach to their training and behavior modification. My goal as a dog psychologist is to help pet owners and their beloved dogs live harmoniously together by addressing behavioral issues, building strong bonds, and promoting positive reinforcement. I am committed to providing the highest level of care and support to both dogs and their owners. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since my childhood. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to train, walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have great and deep experience of dealing with any size and breed of dogs. I find such spiritual peace and divine feeling to be with these furry creatures and love to spend time with them. I have been serving as a volunteer at local dog shelters as well. Its always nice to be around these pure souls and give them maximum love and care. I can make them a part of my routine and it's always fun to have them around and ensure they are happy, calm and engaged productively. I love to take long walks, play, and make them learn new things in a fun way. I always plan my day in an organized way to ensure the furry buddy is getting appropriate time for meals, training, play, rest, breaks and be merry. Its always fun to bond with them in a calm way to make them embed in your routines. So it comes so naturally and automatically that we spend a happy day and time just fly. With my vast dog handling experience, I always ensure safety, security and health of our four legged babies. I have seen all the scenarios and always apply prevention, intervention and correction approaches for making the babies well behaved and happy. I am a trained dog behaviorist and psychologist as well, that helps me to predict and sense any specific needs of our furry friends and ensure everything is proactively taken care.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have two dogs and three birds of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets—they’re family! If you need boarding care, my home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, and feel at ease. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, cozy setting, I make sure they feel safe comfortable and loved and that they feel right at home. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a calm, cozy environment. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and safe. On walks, I make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, stimulation, and attention. During sitting or boarding, I stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and favorite activities. I’m also available on weekends and holidays, making it easy to count on reliable care when you need it most. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always feel connected while you’re away. I am a former tech worker in Silicon Valley looking to take my passion for animals full time and care for your incredible pets :) I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment wherever I care for pets. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive on walks, always using secure leashing and staying aware of surroundings, and in the home I make sure pets are supervised, safe, and stress-free.
