About: I will provide your pets with companionship, while keeping them active. I have 3 cats and a dog of my own, so I have experience with dog walking, and administering oral medication. I have also fostered kittens under 2 pounds, so I have experience with potty training. I have a love for keeping animals happy and healthy, and that's exactly what I will do with your pet. I will take your dogs on enough walks so that they're comfortable, and I will be attentive with your cats so that they're entertained, and so on. If you are looking for someone who is dedicated to the wellbeing of animals, then look no further. I am fully committed to providing your pet with safety, companionship, entertainment, etc.

About: I have been trusted to care for the pets of neighbors and strangers alike over the years. I trained and raised my own Aussie from eight weeks old (he’s now 7!) and he is the light of my life. He is my son and I will treat yours just as if he was my own! I also have plenty of experience administering topical, oral, and injection medications. I am a current PCPA (Pacific Conservatory Theatre Company) student who has a very light summer! I am very flexible with my scheduling and can adapt to whatever you may need whether you’ll be out of town for a few days or just need someone to come by and exercise/entertain your pet. I know some pets can be nervous when a new human enters their territory and I am very conscious and adaptable to that and their needs. I am willing to spend time and give them love if they want or give them their space. I am very respectful of my clients’ space and home and try to leave things better than I found them.

“Lindsay has been wonderful! She is excellent at communicating with us and sending photos after her visits. Being new to the area it takes away some of the stress knowing that Maisy is being well taken care of.”

About: “I’ve owned dogs my whole life, so I know how to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, your dog is in trusted hands.” Well I’m currently in high school so it’s better for me to look after pets on the weekends. But I get good grades I’m a mature teen and I know what I’m doing when it comes to pets. I’ve watched my dogs in my home while my parents were out of town. I have lots of experience when it comes to watching dogs and I know how to keep them entertained.

“Cary & Brian are the best! Such a sweet couple and they were amazing with my Zola. Great communication, so natural with Zola and very professional. I am definitely booking with them again in the future!! Thank you so much Cary and Brian!”

“Olivia continues to be reliable and flexible. Our baby boy loves when she comes to visit! She helps us continue training and she’s always attuned to his behaviors. She communicates with us and sends lots of pictures!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always watched dogs for all my friends and family! I love having dogs around as it’s never a dull moment in the house! I currently work remote so I am always home and and ready to care for your fur babies! I currently work remote so I am home all day. My work schedule is 8am-5:30pm and I exercise by walking the riverbed by my house so it’s perfect for me and the pups! I have a fenced yard and a twelve year old beagle mix who loves to meet new friends! When I dog sit for friends or family, I set up a spot for them in my room and my pup in a separate room so they can have their space. I’m not a huge fan of leaving pups in the garage (unless requested) so they will always have a spot with me I their own bed!

About: Welcome! Thank you for your interest. My name is Maddison and I have always had a deep love for animals. My personal animal experience started when I was 12 years old with pet sitting. I started overnight house and pet sitting when I was 15. I have experience with all kinds of different animals; dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, reptiles, horses, and poultry. I’m always excited to learn about new animals and their care as well. I have taken care of dogs and cats from their young years to being senior citizens. My professional experience grows daily. I have worked at a few Dog Boarding facilities and then was an Animal Welfare Specialist for the County of Santa Barbara. I learned many valuable skills such as professional level animal care, administering medications (oral or injection), behavioral training, enrichment, and how to safely handle dangerous animals. I was also the manager of Dog Behavior & Training and the Daycare Manager of a high volume facility. I successfully ran the training program and handled Daycare Operations. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding. I now am fully committed to my own business! You can find me under “Pineapple Pups Training & Services” on Instagram and Facebook. INTERESTED IN TRAINING? I have many different options to fit you and your pup’s needs. -Stand Alone Sessions -Daycare & Training -Board & Train I also offer complimentary in person or over the phone training evaluations. I have my own welcoming committee for your loved one’s home away from home experience. They will have friends to socialize with and never be bored. I have a sizable fenced in backyard. I do not believe Pet Services are a “one size fits all”. Please let me know what specific accommodations I can make for you and your loved ones. **ALL GUESTS MUST BE UP TO DATE ON FLEA MEDS**

“Jami is so sweet with my Dog he loves her, she is patient and playful with him, she’s our favorite DoggySitter who we can trust every time we go out of town she’s available, I totally recommend her services.”

About: I love dogs, all animals, I want a farm! I do have a nine year old husky, who also loves dogs! Very friendly, but can also be put in a separate part of the house if the guest isn’t friendly. I am currently a stay at home mom of three, I am always home! :) I have nearly half an acre, and if the pet doesn’t like children, we would need to discuss. I have .39 acre, fenced, and one dog of my own. She loves others and is great company. I do have 3 ducks and 5 chickens, but they are privately fenced in their coop/run. I am the typical wwasos. I am home 90% of the week, taking care of all the babies! My older kids love to help and play fetch. I’m always around for the love and attention giving! :) I have a large fenced yard, all animals are welcome and loved! Every pup is allowed on furniture and welcome to sleep in bed. :)

About: Although I don’t have a cat or doggy of myself it just makes me appreciate everyone else’s doggies and cats so so much more :) I am a college student with a very great schedule and have lots of time to take care of your babies! :) I will always make time for you <3 I love hanging or just being beside the doggy or cat so they will always be safe! I will update you as much as you want and need :)

About: I've had the gift of house/pet sitting for 15 years, and it is without a doubt the most rewarding job I've ever experienced! Personally, I've had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, horses, and hermit crabs as pets, besides the odd rescued baby bird, bunny, or mouse. On top of cats, dogs, and fish, I've had the opportunity to care for alpacas, an African grey parrot, and saltwater fish/reefs, while pet sitting. Every animal I encounter has its own identity and temperament, which is always fun and interesting to observe and base my care on. I feel like such a winner when I get a standoffish animal to trust me! Throughout my life I've had an array of animals to bond with, though for a long period recently we had just one cat. Mournfully, a few years ago, my dad and I had to part with our beloved Stevie. She was our close companion for over 15 years, and I still miss her immensely. Her quirks and routines still cross my mind, which brings all the things that made her unique and lovable up into my heart. Pet sitting warms my heart, and definitely fills the need that I still have for animal companionship (but without the heartbreak). Pet sitting is a way for me to have the joy of loving and caring for a pet in an empathetic way: in their own home, on their own schedule, stepping into their owner's (figurative) shoes for a bit, to make *everyone* more comfortable. Time and again, it's proven to be the best way I've found to give personalized care to precious pets, and allow owners to truly enjoy their time away. My part-time library job offers me a lot of flexibility, leaving me the opportunity to do more of what I love. Traveling, exploring new areas, experiencing new food, going to music events, working out/walking, spiritual activities, and creative endeavors have a place in my life because of this balance. Of course that also includes one of the most rewarding ways to punctuate my life: house and pet sitting! I base my care around the individual needs of the pet and owner! Pets LOVE their routines, so I typically live in harmony with their modus operandi, on balance with my part-time engagements.

“Alyssa has been great and very patient getting to know our timid rescues. She understands dog communication and dynamics. I am grateful to find someone that is definitely a real dog person to pet sit our fur kids.”

About: I am a kind caring and loving person who has a lot of energy absolutely loves all animals but I am definitely a dog person. I currently have two very entergetic Australian Shepherds ages 7 and 4 years old. I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. My parents raised dogs when I was younger so we always had dogs my whole life. All animals love me too. I love to walk and play with animals! I have a very flexible schedule for those of you that need care for your animals. I will make sure to follow there needs and if you have any special instructions. I’m looking forward to work with you and get to know your dogs and cats!

“Mia was so sweet! And patient with Teddy as he got used to her. By the 2nd walk Teddy was ecstatic to see Mia!”

About: My main priority is comfort and gaining trust from your furry friend so they can have as minimal stress as possible while you are away. I can accommodate any needs or routines your best friend might require (including: kennel, hygiene, oral medicine, exercise, and/or specific eating routines.) Born into a family of pets, I grew up alongside a loving black lab and and seven cats until I was about twelve years old. Around that time I started volunteering at my hometown’s Pitbull Rescue Center & I now have three sweet pit bulls, one with a bit of attitude so I have experience with extreme timidness and big dogs. Part of the training journey with all of them, from potty training to leash/order training. I do have experience with giving scheduled, oral medication as well as basic Canine First Aid. Not much makes me happier than animals do! I currently work part time so I can be away for up to 6 hours at a time. I am available for walks, sittings, and check-ins! Just message me for my availability:) I won’t be doing any sitting or care out of my own home so, I do complimentary Meet & Greets at a park you’re comfortable with or at your home, preferably, as the dogs will benefit more from an in-home meeting so they feel in control:)
