About: I love animals so much I got a degree in Animal Science and I'm pursuing a Vet Tech certification! I have personal experience caring for a variety of dogs in my life: A HIGH energy pitty puppy, a senior and disabled corgy-shepard, and my very own dog, Sheldon, the rainbow terrier rescue ❤️. I absolutely love hanging out with dogs, going on walks, giving pets, winning over shy hearts, and even helping guide rambunctious puppies in the right direction with patience. I just graduated college and have a very open schedule right now, I can do early or late, any day of the week or weekend. I'm happy to stop by to check in on, feed, walk, play, hang out with any pets. I'm experienced with animals and love them all with my whole heart. I also understand security and privacy concerns, I will always respect a customer's home like my own and not judge or mess with anything.

Michael helped us with our two dogs while on vacation. He was the best pet care professional we have ever used. He was caring and attentive and our dogs loved him. He was also extremely responsive and flexible with our schedule. I would have him watch our dogs any time.

Michelle was awesome. Communicated clearly with us so we knew when she was arriving. Our dogs loved her. Now they are tuckered out and napping after their great adventure with Michelle. Thanks for taking care of them. Would have given 10 stars if it was available!!

About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, and horses since I was a young kid. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian and attended a University in California with that goal in mind. As much as I enjoyed the Animal Science courses and internships in the Radiology Department, I decided working with kids was more my thing! But I still have a deep love of animals :) I moved to Colorado and now work on an organic farm and love it! I have worked with elderly dogs who need either oral medication or shots, dogs that are blind and need special care navigating the house, to active pups who love to go on morning runs! I am a dog lover and haven't gone a year without having a pet as part of the family. Pets are family and I believe they deserve the best care while their loved ones are away. Let me spend that time with your special pup and we will have many adventures!

About: I started my dogsitting business out of my home over 6 years abo and now I petsit at people's homes. Animals are more comfortable at their own home I also have been trained as a dog walker at the Sonoma County Animal Shelter and worked at a dog kennel (now closed...Anderson Acres) I'm a personal trainer that teaches people on Zoom so I am at home most of the day. I am an active person that loves walking dogs and own 2 rescues. I only care for animals in the owner's home. I do not board animals in my home. I make sure that all doors/gates are secure so no animal escapes.

I’m so glad Lindsey was able to walk and feed our pup while we were gone for part of the day! Lindsey was super communicative and sent lots of photos and videos so we could see how much fun our pup was having with her. She even took her on an extra long walk and played with her after. It was such a relief to see our dog in good hands while we were away!

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 11. I trained my puppy when I was a kid and have almost always had a cat or kitten in my life. I have experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes and varying needs -- this includes but is not limited to: administering oral and topical medicine, ear cleaning and drops, specialized bathing for sensitive skin, walks and varying play styles. I absolutely adore animals. My cat, Maisy, brings so much joy into my life. I know the stress that can come with leaving your pet in the care of someone else. I work to minimize that and assure you that your pet is loved, comfortable, happy, and safe! I currently do contract work from home and work part-time during the week. I am very available to be present for your pets, whether that's walking, dropping-in, or staying with them all day/night. My flexible schedule allows me to be anywhere during the day. I am able to provide most hands-on care during the morning, daytime, and late evening and night check-ins. I have worked with multiple neighbors and friends who have trusted me to stay in their homes with their pets or come in during the day to provide food, play, walks, and just love and company. I like to send photos everyday (unless requested otherwise) so you can see their furry faces while you are away. I take the trust given to be in your home very seriously, and I know that our pets appreciate being in their familiar environments while you are away.

About: I’ve spent over ten years caring for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to wise seniors. I work as a shepherd and look after sheep, goats and dogs, which has helped me stay calm, attentive and aware of behavior, safety,and fun. I’m trained in safe handling, bite prevention, and canine behavior and I rely on positive reinforcement to support pets. I take the responsibility of caring for your furry family seriously, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Animals are part of my everyday life. I make sure pets get attention, walks, playtime, and companionship on a regular schedule so they’re happy and healthy. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. Pets are supervised, loved, and cared for with positive reinforcement so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently share my home with my pug Lola and my cats Leo and Mya Rose. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’m especially patient with older dogs and smaller breeds. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication, or just giving them attention and playtime, I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m available most days to drop in and check on your furry babies so you can have peace of mind while you’re away from home. Growing up on a farm as well as many years spent in animal rescue I am very comfortable with all animals including sick and behaviorally challenged.
