About: I have my own doggie, whom I love very much. I am also the go to pet-sitter in my family, and have lots of experience feeding, walking, and caring for other peoples dogs. I would love to meet your furry friends and give them some love! I have a good deal of availability right now, so I will be free any day of the week as long as I have advance notice! I know it can be scary to put someone else in charge of your furry friend. Believe me, I am scared everytime I drop my dog off with someone else. I will always ensure that dogs are treated with the utmost sense of safety and responsibility!

Coral is great! Always on time and kept us up to date with pics, videos, and notes. We had her do daily drop ins for our two kitties for 10 days. We would definitely call on Coral to help us out in the future.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and over four years of pet sitting and dog walking experience, I offer a level of care that goes far beyond the basics. Having grown up with dogs since the age of three, looking after pets isn't just a job for me, it's a second nature built on a lifetime of hands-on experience. Over the past four years, I have successfully cared for a diverse range of pets for both family friends and a some regular clients. What truly sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine joy and deep empathy I bring to every visit. I don't just check the boxes of feeding and walking; I focus on building a real bond with your pets, understanding their unique personalities, and treating them with the same unconditional love and attentiveness that I give my own. Honestly, pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine because I have pets of my own. I'm completely used to the responsibility and love doing it. I work during the day, but I’m always up for morning and afternoon dog walks. Since I genuinely love animals, those walks are usually the best parts of my day anyway. It never feels like a chore to me, so you can count on me to give them plenty of love and attention! When I’m pet sitting, I make sure their normal routine doesn’t miss a beat. I'm super on top of timed meals, getting them out for good walks, and sending you daily updates so you know everything is running smoothly. Plus, I always make sure to give them tons of love and keep them entertained so they don't miss you too much. If you just need dog walking, I'm down for whatever your pup needs—I can handle any age, whether they want a slow, easy stroll or a fast run to burn off some energy. And for drop-in visits, I just love popping in to play with them and give them plenty of affection to break up their day. No matter the service, my main goal is just to keep your pets happy, safe, and tired out!

About: I’ve had experience caring for large dogs my whole life and currently handle most of the day-to-day care for my own dog, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, walks, exercise, and keeping dogs happy and well-behaved. I’ve also been pet sitting since high school, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. What sets me apart is how attentive and hands-on I am. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m especially confident with bigger dogs and can adapt to each dog’s routine, whether that means active playtime or a calmer, more relaxed environment. Until early June, I have school and work during the week, along with some busy weekends, but I’m still available for pet care with enough notice and can work around my schedule. Starting in the summer, I’ll have a much more open and flexible schedule and am looking to take on more pet sitting opportunities. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and make sure your pet gets consistent, reliable care. I provide a clean, safe, and cozy environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m a very active person, so I love taking dogs on walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also make time for calmer moments, like relaxing and giving pets the affection and companionship they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel at ease, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. My goal is always to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have watched multiple ages of dogs! Some middle aged, all the way to 5 months! I love going on walks and will be happy to have a furry friend to join me. I have helped clean up after them, feeding, grooming, and just hanging out with them! I am a college student but have complete access to a car! I can stay overnight, I can get up early, stay late or even pop in to the house to make sure they get lunch! I will meet their expectations. I couldn't just go over to a clients house and just feed a dog. I would feed them, play with them, etc.

About: Hello! I am an experienced dog owner, sitter, and walker with a deep love for dogs and animals. I have one dog of my own, Otis (5 years old, terrier mix). I grew up with animals since I can remember and have always loved animals of all kinds. I am friendly, caring, gentle, observant, and strong/assertive when necessary to ensure animal safety. Otis and I have hosted animals of all different personalities successfully. We would love to have your lil doggo with us soon :) I am available most days, morning to evening. Weekends I am a bit more available, but usually have flexibility. I can make adjustments with a day notice typically. I have experience training my own animals and have seen big progress with behavioral challenges. I know how to work with different personalities and ensure safety. I keep dogs on leashes and allow for appropriate introductions. I also have a big backyard that is fenced in.

About: I am the biggest animal lover ever!!! I have owned dogs and cats since I was a baby. My family owns a farm at home, so I have experience with all animals. I have worked with dogs, cats, you name it! I have experience with training puppies, as well as handling larger animals. I would love to meet your furry (or maybe not so furry you never know) friend!!! I’m currently only working part-time over the summer so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m currently also taking a very light course load at Cal poly and no classes over the Summer, so I’ll never have to “squeeze in” your pet. I am very aware of my surroundings and understand when an animal is being put in an unsafe environment from my time working on my farm and farms at home. I know when an animal shouldn’t interact with another, when to keep an animal away from another, when to crate, and when to release the animal from a leash.
