About: From taking care of my family cats and dogs, to pet sitting for family friends and neighbors in high school, to volunteering at Saving Grace dog rescue and SPCA tampa bay, to working at Cats&Caffeine kitty cafe; I have experience with all kinds of animals. I’ve spent the night with the most energetic golden doodle and dalmatian puppies, helped geriatric senior doggies stand up and walk down the front door steps without falling over so we could go on a walk around the neighborhood. I have experience giving medicine in all forms to both cats and dogs, as i’ve volunteered in the vet clinic and have taken a wildlife rehabilitation course. I’m a senior at Eckerd college majoring in animal studies and it’s my dream to open a cat cafe one day. I’m taking time off from school currently to focus on my health, and i’ve found that caring for other animals helps me care for myself <3 Their sense of happiness and wellbeing will always be my number one priority when I am around. I have a fully fenced yard and three (one personal, two family) cats in my home who don’t like other cats, but are fine with dogs. I’m also willing to travel and stay in your home, as I know my fur baby is always more comfortable in his own space.
“Gabriel was wonderful with our 2 cats. Our cats opened up to him despite them not being big fans of strangers. He was on time for every visit and followed our instructions perfectly. Provided great daily updates. We would definitely reach out to him again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Michelle is the best!”
“Emma was fantastic! She checked in on our dog multiple times, keeping us updated and making sure he was well cared for. Her attention to detail and kindness gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Siarra took care of our cat for a few days while we were out of town. Our cat is super shy and does not come out for visitors, but Siarra still kept us updated on her food/water/litter situation each day, which was so thoughtful. She was dependable in her visits, and I will definitely hire her again!”
“Lindsay has been amazing over the past couple of weeks - looking in after our Twilight kittie while we had to be away. She has been so communicative, responsive, and caring. We are lucky to have found her.”
About: In Chile I grew up in the countryside always surrounded by many animals. I started taking care of friends and family's pets since I was 10 years old. Currently in Chile I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and I miss them a lot, so I would love to take care of pets while I am in California. On weekdays I work in a winery, so I am available to care for your pet from Monday to Friday from 5 pm and full availability on weekends. I live in a house that has a large patio with space available to play and completely closed, pets can have access to the interior of the house.
About: I am a United States Marine Vet so I have base access if needed. I book up pretty quickly. I have a very open schedule until the end of this year for I’ll be attending college in January. I have a Service Dog, so I can assist in your training as well as keep up with the routines that you already have in place. I work from home which lets me have a pretty open schedule. I am available for holidays and weekends. I can also do last-minute bookings if needed. I have a huge dog park nearby that rarely any other dogs visit. Every animal has their separate place to eat/Sleep. Your pet will be treated as if they are my own.
About: I grew up with dogs and recently lost my best friend, a corgi, Teddy. As a long time dog-owner, I understand how much anxiety goes into leaving your dog with someone else. I will treat your dog/s as if they were my own. I have much experience with aging / elderly dogs and dogs with special needs (dogs with leash aggression, anxiety, allergies, and prosthetic limbs/wheel chairs). My goal is to get to know you and your dog, and provide tailored service to meet your wants and your furry loved one's needs. I am happy to provide updates and pictures of our time together too! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Please reach out if you have any additional questions for me! Thank you! I work from home, which allows for frequent walks, potty breaks and play time! Both the dogs and myself appreciate the breaks within the day! I have a fenced in yard and multiple ring cameras to ensure everyone's safety. Neighboring houses do not have dogs; it is a quiet and peaceful environment.
About: I have had dogs and cats and parakeets since before I could walk, and now that I am retired, I will care for your fur babies such that you are able to relax knowing they are in the best of care. I am retired from the court system and available most any time. I can work with your schedule intertwined with any commitments I might have. I can accommodate whatever needs you have, be it walking, pet sitting, dropping in in order to check on your babies and also staying the night.
“Briana is intelligent, thoughtful and caring -- the pet care trifecta! She has experience with many different species and provided exceptional care for our diverse group of pets, some of whom have "special" needs. From the first visit, we knew by her great questions that she was going to provide high quality care for our pets. Throughout our time away, she was really wonderful at communicating and providing updates. Our animals were all SO comfortable around her. She has the experience and calm confidence that put them at ease. We returned to find all our pets happy, clean and content. We could not be more pleased with her care and hope she will be available to watch over our pets the next time we are planning a trip out of town. Briana is definitely an asset to our community.”
About: I know how important routine and comfort is for pups when their human(s) go away. Staying consistent with the day to day norm is so important. I am committed to treating your dog the way you would while you are gone. A little more about me: I was born & raised in farm country with cows, horses, geese, chickens, cats, dogs ... you name it. I've been an animal lover from a young age and i've had / cared for horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, birds etc. I started dog / house sitting in my late teens for friends and family. What sets me apart? Dogs of all sizes have stollen my heart but none more than the big breeds people often shy away from. I love Canes, Danes, Rotties, Pitties, Mastiffs, Dogos, Presas ... the bigger the dog the bigger the heart! Having been a mom to a papered Rottweiler as well as a Rottweiler rescue I can say no one dog is easier than another, they are all so unique and individualistic just like us. After rehabilitating and training my rescue Rottie to be a service dog I began helping others train their dogs as well (by referral only). It's been 1.5 years since my last Rottie love transitioned to the rainbow bridge and though I am not ready for another one of my own I do have the time and love to give to the pups of others. If there is anything else you'd like to know feel free to message me! My schedule is my own. I'm a self employed business development consultant. I help female entrepreneurs go from idea to launch and provide social marketing strategy post launch. Most of my work is done on my laptop & cell phone. I am committed to treating your dog the way you would while you are gone. I know how important routine and comfort is for pups when their human(s) go away. Staying consistent with day to day norms is key!
“Natalia was amazing. She immediately was comfortable with my three cats (all very different personalities) and so thoughtful of the care instructions provided. The photos she provided after every drop in were also great, and adorable. Highly recommend her services and will look to booking with her again in the future.”
About: Since childhood, animals have been a part of my life—dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and even horses.

My calm, nurturing energy, reliable communication, and deep understanding of each animal’s unique needs are what sets me apart.

About: I have trained my personal dogs with basic commands and helpful safety training so the dog and human are safe. Can assist with puppy training and leash walking as well.

My flexible schedule gives me the opportunity to care for your pet through the day in a mellow and calm environment. Multiple neighborhood walks and fetch are on the daily itinerary. I am comfortable with crate training dogs, and or free roaming pups. If your dog pulls on walks, I am delighted to have the patience to work on stopping this trait to make walking a breeze for you in the future.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs, having grown up with them in the Champagne Region (France), and I finally moved to California three years ago after spending a decade living in Australia, South Africa, and China. Shortly after settling in, I adopted my little Charlie, who has brought endless joy into my life ever since. Charlie is my constant companion—we go everywhere together! He’s a big fan of the ocean, enjoys snacking on yogurt, loves playing with other dogs, and even enjoys chasing those pesky squirrels. Charlie also loves having friends over, and we often care for dogs belonging to friends. As we welcome the new year, we’re excited to make even more furry friends! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day starts with morning walks in the vineyard and plenty of playtime with Charlie, ensuring he gets the exercise and mental stimulation he needs. Throughout the day and depending on work needs, I make time for meals, treats, and cuddles, incorporating his care seamlessly into my schedule. On weekends, I prioritize longer adventures like beach trips, hikes, or visits to dog parks, where Charlie can socialize and explore. I also enjoy caring for friends’ dogs, so having extra pups around is a natural extension of my routine. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. They have plenty of space to relax, play, and explore. Daily walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions are part of the routine. My dog, Charlie, loves making new friends, so visiting pets always have a buddy to keep them company. I maintain a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel at ease and cared for.

I ensure a safe, comfortable environment, following routines to keep pets happy and stress-free in their home.
About: In my life, I have taken care of many types of animals but mostly cats and dogs. I have always been a reliable person for family or friends to call. I have taken care of 4-week-old kittens to deaf and blind dogs that need a little extra care. I love them all the same. My schedule is Monday thru Friday from 8 am to 5pm but can be flexible. I live in an apartment but do have med size backyard that is secure with a tall fence and gates that latch and usually keep a lock on them. I would say for me, it all depends on the animal that I am watching and fit them in however I can. My schedule aside from work is very flexible. I am currently not watching pets in my house but when I am petsitting at someone house. I like to have it as close to the animals normal routine.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. Now that I’m living away from home I really miss having pets around. Help me get my dog fix and I’ll love your pets like my own! I’m working full time but I am available every day, generally during the daytime. I’d love to come take your dog out for a midday walk while you’re working. I’m also training for a marathon, so if your dog is more energetic I’d love a running buddy. I can take care of your dogs in your home or take them for walks! I love long walks and hikes with active dogs, but I’d also love short walks with your elderly pups too!
About: Hey there! I'm a gal who doesn't own a dog (just 3 cats!) who works from home some days of the week and is happy to take care of your pooch! I joke with my friends and family that I'm a kennel for their pups when they go out of town - why not help out other local friends! I have owned dogs my whole life but just don't have the time to own one currently so I'm happy to help out those that need someone to watch their fur baby! We have a wonderful large fenced yard in a quiet part of St. Helena. Your dog can have free access to the home and our fenced in yard. Quiet neighborhood next to vineyards where the pup can play! Happy to help you out - bring on the dogs! I love them all and am a fun and active person who will take wonderful care of your pet ( just ask my friends how obsessed I am with my cats Grover, Fat Freddy & Ralph!!). Thank you! I work from an office most days with the exception of event weekends and some evenings. I do sometimes have to leave during the day but your dog would be in a secure home with us. Fenced yard on the vineyard and close by lots of walking and vineyards. We do have 3 cats so I prefer your dog to be cat friendly or be able to take some hissing from them.

Kate S.
“Kate was the best pet-sitter I ever had. She took care of my sweet golden retriever/yellow lab mix Lucy, even as she aged so much she had to be helped up and often didn't make it outside before accidents happened. Kate was kind and patient, cleaned up messes I wouldn't even expect her to, and was always communicative if something was amiss or if anything came up to alter her schedule. She was also good with my kitty Pepper. She's mature beyond her years and recommend her highly!”

“Angela did a great job taking care of our pup! She house sit for us for 4 nights while we went out town. She took really good care of our fur baby with walks and meals. He was very happy and has a new best friend. The house looked exactly like it did when we left and she took the trash to the curb to make sure we didn’t miss trash pickup day. We’ll definitely ask Angela to come back.”
Christina N.
“Christina is a responsible pet owner and lover. Given any situation, her willingness and patience is unmatched. Every pet has a schedule, specific need, and personality that she will tend to.”
Ashley T.
“We've entrusted Ashley to walk and sit our two young pups, Toby and Louie, on several occasions and could not be happier with her reliability and attention to detail. Our boys are both under two years old and full of energy. On the days she drops by to walk them, we come home to a couple tuckered, happy pups. When we're out of town, we can rest assured knowing the dogs will remain on schedule with feedings and activities, and that they'll get the same level of TLC as when we're home. During our last out of town trip, Ashley helped reinforce commands our youngest dog was learning, and we came home to a more obedient pup than when we left! We definitely recommend Ashley for your dog sitting needs! ”
Jane B.
“Jane is an exceptional dog mommy and dog lover extraordinaire! I met Jane and her two sweet pooches when she contacted me through Rover to sit Ivy and Kowboy. She was very careful to interview me in our Meet and Greet, and I could tell she was very precise in how she expected her dogs to be treated. She will be as mindful as this when watching your lovey! Jane is active. She is an avid hiker and will definitely give your dogs all the exercise they want. She is an expert ball tosser, and has no issue piling into the car for a special outing , if that is your wish. Jane is fastidious. If she minds your home, she will treat it like the precious space it is to you and your family. She will respect your privacy, and leave your home at least in the same condition she found it upon arrival. I think the world of Jane and would select her to watch my dog, if I had one presently. In fact, I refer all requests that I am unable to fill to Jane. That’s my confidence in her! In short, Jane is GREAT!!”

Miranda K.
“Miranda took care of my two pups in our house while we were out of town for a week and couldn’t have done a better job. We have an older dog that requires seizure medication twice daily, as well as an energetic 1 year old puppy, and she did an excellent job with both. We got frequent pictures/video updates of lots of playtime, walks, and cuddles. When she saw the dogs again after dogsitting they practically tumbled over themselves to get to her to say hi. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will absolutely be using Miranda to dogsit whenever she’s available in the future.”
