About: I’ve been caring for dogs since 2015 and have hands-on experience working in a professional dog training and daycare facility. Through that environment, I gained experience handling a wide range of personalities,from high-energy breeds to anxious or shy dogs, and learned the importance of structure, consistency, and reading behavior cues. I’ve also provided in-home dog sitting for multiple families over the years, and I’m currently an active volunteer with a local animal rescue in Fresno. Dogs tend to warm up to me quickly, and I prioritize calm, attentive care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away. Please note that new clients for over night stays are required to have a meet and greet before booking to ensure safety for both myself and the client/dogs. I’m a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention for dogs. On the rare occasion when I have a fully booked day, I make arrangements to ensure their needs are met, whether that’s a mid-day potty break or extra attention when I’m home. I provide attentive, calm care in clients’ homes. I’m trustworthy, experienced, and dogs warm up to me quickly, ensuring their comfort and safety while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a pet sitter — I’m also a dog groomer, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m calm, patient, and used to making sure pets feel safe and relaxed, even in new situations. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family, including senior pets and pets who need medication. I’m really detail-oriented with routines and always make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for just the way their owners prefer. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine since I work part-time. I’m available anytime on weekends and Wednesdays, and I have flexibility on other weekdays depending on my work schedule. I’m also available for overnight stays. Since I already help care for my brother’s dog and cat at home, pet care is a regular part of my life, and I’m used to keeping consistent routines and making sure pets are well looked after. I provide calm, attentive, and reliable care by following each pet’s routine exactly as instructed so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. In a client’s home, I focus on consistency with feeding, walks, playtime, and affection, while also handling cleaning, waste care, and any special instructions such as medication or senior pet needs. I’m very detail-oriented and make sure nothing is missed, and I prioritize clear communication so owners always feel at ease while they’re away. At home, I regularly help care for my brother’s dog and cat, which keeps me very familiar with daily pet routines and different personalities.

About: What sets me apart is the amount of patience, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I’m experienced with pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including puppies who need consistency and senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m also very reliable with feeding schedules, medications, walks, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they always know their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to make time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of attention throughout the day. I like keeping pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I always make sure pets are in a safe, calm, and clean environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything tidy while making sure their pets get constant care, supervision, affection, and plenty of exercise.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was about 10 years old, when my very first “job” was pet sitting for neighbors and family friends. I know more than anyone that animals are peoples family members, not just an animal living in the house. I grew up with wiener dogs and have always bonded over spending time playing fetch with them, to waking up and giving kisses to chillin on the couch watching Sunday football. It takes TRUST when it comes to pets. What truly sets me apart is my empathy. I treat every animal as family, tuning into their needs whether that’s extra playtime for a puppy with boundless energy, or gentle patience for a senior pet who moves at a slower pace. I have plenty of experience in both. I make it a priority to provide not just reliable care, but also a nurturing, loving environment that gives pets & their parents peace of mind. I’m a morning person, so starting the day with a nice walk is one of my favorite routines & it's fun to do it with a friend. Pet care naturally fits into my lifestyle.. I enjoy staying active and being outdoors. In the evenings, I love to unwind, whether that’s a calm cuddle session or a relaxing stroll to end the day on a happy note. I’m also open and flexible on weekends, making it easy to provide consistent care that works around your schedule. I believe every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to what works best for them & your preferences. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I follow your preferences closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and comfortable. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddle time, I adapt to what each furry family member needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe & loved no matter where they are.

I am available for dog sitting during the day and overnight boarding Monday- Friday and weekends. I am able to be home all the time I have a fenced yard with grass, I have a large playpen available to use if needed and keep them in one area of the house

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have professional experience in animal care. I have worked in direct contact with animals in the shelter environment, all types of behaviors, and all different types of quirks. I have frequently pet sit around my neighborhood for the last couple years and would love to meet your furry friend! I am pretty much an open calender for your pets! I just graduated high school in early June and have a lot of free time, I would love to help you out and spend time with your furry friend at no inconvenience to me! I can provide walks, feedings, baths, and love to all different types of dogs! I do have a dog of my own so trust me to care for your dog as well as you can. As a fellow dog owner I understand differing feeding schedules, odd quirks, and the best place to scratch behind their ears.

About: 10 years of experience. Hablo español :) I understand wanting your pet to receive the best care from an animal lover. Comfortable with walking, bathing, feeding and caring for pets with health needs. I’m friendly, energetic and I love pets. Experience with senior dogs, disabled dogs, and training. I am home most of the time if not house sitting. I set my own hours and schedule so I will be available anytime for your pet. I’m very flexible and accommodating If something different is needed I am willing to discuss. I’m available all week. Available for ALL holidays. If your pet stays in my home, I have a tall secure fence and indoor cameras. My home is pet proofed. My backyard and home is spacious so your pet has plenty of room to play. If you require care at your home I am willing to accommodate any needs your pet requires. I would care for your pet as if I was caring for my own.

About: ⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING ⚠️ To ensure we're a good fit and to respect both our time, please review my pricing and policies below before reaching out. Thank you! Welcome! I'm so glad you're here 🐾 Why families choose me I know how hard it is to leave your furry family member with someone new. That's why I'd love for you to visit my home before booking – see where your pet will stay, meet me in person, and get a feel for the environment. No pressure, just peace of mind. Here's what makes my care different: I only take two to three pets at a time. Yes, I have space for more, but I intentionally keep things small. Your pet isn't just another booking; they get my full attention, a calm environment, and the kind of care I'd want for my own pet. Since I work from home, your pet is never alone. If your pup has separation anxiety or just loves company, they'll have me nearby all day. I genuinely treat every guest like they're part of my family. What you can expect • Photos you'll actually love: I take pride in capturing beautiful moments of your pet. Check out my profile photos – that's the quality you'll get! I want you to see your pet's personality shine and know they're happy and loved. • Real communication: During business hours, you can call me anytime. Need an update? Have a question? I'm here. Your peace of mind matters. • A spotless home: My place is deep-cleaned weekly. It's fresh, odor-free, and hygienic. You're always welcome to visit! Just a heads up – I do ask guests to remove shoes to keep things pristine. • Safe outdoor space: The backyard has seven gorgeous redwood trees that provide tons of shade. That said, your pup will spend most of their time inside with me, where it's cool and comfortable. I never leave dogs unsupervised outside for extended periods. • A calm, quiet home: No young kids, and no elderly family members. Just a peaceful space where your pet can relax and be the star of the show. • No pool: One less thing to worry about! Safety first. Important details about care & pricing • Veterinary care: If I notice anything concerning about your pet's health, I'll contact you immediately (and Rover). If I can't reach you, I'll take them to the vet. All bookings are covered by Rover's Guarantee (up to $25,000 for eligible vet expenses). • Pricing adjustments: I do charge additional fees for certain situations to ensure I can provide the best care: Small: Base Rate Medium dogs: (30-60 lbs): +$15 Large dogs (60-90 lbs): +$20 Giant dogs (90-200 lbs): +$100 Puppies under 1 year (not potty trained): +$125 Why the large/giant dog fees? I want to be transparent about this. • Decline other reservations: due to the lack of space, I might need to be forced to cancel other reservations to ensure we have adequate space for your furry friend. • Space & capacity: When I host a large or giant breed, it often means I can only take one other pet (or sometimes no other pets) to ensure everyone has adequate space and comfort. This limits my availability for other bookings. • Physical demands: Larger dogs require more physical strength and energy – from handling on walks to managing their movements indoors. It's more intensive work to provide the attentive, hands-on care they deserve. • Wear and resources: Bigger dogs naturally need more of everything – more food, more space, more cleanup. They also create more wear on furniture, floors, and the home environment. • Individual attention: Every dog gets my full focus, but larger dogs often need extra time and specialized care to ensure they're comfortable and happy in my home. This pricing ensures I can give your large or giant dog the quality, individualized attention they deserve without compromising on care. Why the puppy fee? Puppies are wonderful, but they need specialized care! I take your pup out every 30 minutes to support their potty training and help them develop good habits. It's hands-on work, but it makes a real difference. If your puppy is already crate and potty trained, I'm happy to waive this fee. Again, please review these details before reaching out so we can make sure we're the right fit for your pet! I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐕💕 A day in the life with me 🌅 I'm naturally an early riser, which works out perfectly for your pup! Here's what a typical day looks like: Morning: We start the day with a refreshing morning walk to get those legs moving and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day: Your dog will get regular potty breaks in my backyard all morning long. Since I work from home, I'm always here to let them out when they need it. Evening: When the weather's nice, we'll wind down with an evening walk to stretch, explore, and burn off any remaining energy. This is the exact routine I followed with my own dog, and it worked wonders for his potty training. He learned to trust that I'd take him out when needed, and I learned to trust that he'd wait. It's all about consistency and communication! Your dog will seamlessly become part of my daily rhythm – same love, same care, same attention I gave my own. They're not just a guest; they're family while they're here. 🐕❤️ 🐣They will be in a safe and secure environment, where no dog will be distressed. I prioritize understanding each dog's behavior by discussing their temperament with clients and taking proactive measures to ensure a calm and harmonious atmosphere. This is why I limit the number of dogs to a maximum of two per night, to maintain individual attention and safety for all pets involved.

“Natalie did a great job caring for and walking our 3 dogs! She always spent extra time making sure they got their energy out and had attention and love while we were at work. I definitely recommend her for dog walking and care services.”

“Cynthia extended so much love and care to my dog, Sister, each time she walked her. It was seriously so impressive how much attention she paid to Sister’s behavior. I appreciated the many pics she sent and detailed updates about the walk—really made me feel like my pup was always in good hands. Thank you again Cynthia and also to her sidekick, Jackson !”

“Renee was punctual when we met her for the first time. She suggested walking Chase around our cul-de-sac to see how he would do, which I really appreciated. Renee was very friendly and gentle with my puppy, and Chase immediately liked her. She also came well prepared when she arrived at our home. Overall, we had a great first experience with her.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience living with and loving animals! I have always had a dog and a cat in my family, sometimes more than one of each. Because of this I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior to every pet care experience. Personalized care tailored to your furry family member is my utmost priority. You can depend on a calm, happy, and fun time with me! My schedule is open and I am willing to accommodate to any specific needs in order to make sure their furry family member is well taken care of. Any pet I take into my home will need to follow the basic rules I have for all animals that come here. I also understand varying needs client by client and will easily adjust as necessary. Once an acceptable agreement is reached, I will honor that absolutely and totally.

About: I've taken care of animals since I was young, my first pet being a fish. Then working my way up to getting hamsters, rabbits, and eventually cats/dogs. I've rescued many cats & dogs over the years and have gotten them adopted to loving families. I'm very emotionally connected to animals and I love helping fellow animal lovers. I have two dogs of my own and am currently my own boss so I am trying out different avenues of income. I have learned that pet care is always a fun way to spend my day! I live in an apartment so I will not be boarding any of your furbabies with me, BUT I am more than willing to attend to any special accommodations you may have in regards to your own home. My rate reflects that your pets will receive the most excellent care and I will treat them like my own while you are away.
