About: With over 30 years of pet experience, I’ll make fast friends with your little ones! I’ve had 15 of my own over the years, both cats and dogs. In addition, I’ve often been called on as sitter and caretaker for friends and family, both in their homes and my own. While I work full-time, I work remotely and my schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me ability to travel, run errands, attend to life, and take care of things as needed. My ability to work from anywhere means that I’m often taking meetings and writing emails in different locations day to day…and there have been many instances where I’ve been pet-sitting or housesitting and working remotely from there. My first priority is of course always the safety and happiness of your family members and companions, but a close second is the care and cleanliness of your space and your home! I learned early in my life to always leave a space cleaner than you found it, and cleanliness, your preferences, handling things your way, and privacy are always in the front of my mind!


“My wife and I couldn't be happier with Kathy. She took care of our 2 kittens when we were out of town. While we were gone I got plenty of pictures and updates on the kittens which is appreciated for our first time away from them. We will definitely be booking Kathy next time we are out of town and you should too!”


“Aytaj was very responsive and provided updates while caring for our cat. I felt that it was really easy to get in touch with her, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was also great that she was able to meet up quickly before we booked her, making the process smooth and fast. I appreciated knowing how things were going and I didn't feel worried at all when she was here. Thank you, Aytaj!”


About: The best thing coming home to are my 3 babies. Dany(Yorkie), beezley(lab) and Mika(mix gs/husky). I love how they are all filled with excitement, wagging their tails as I was only gone for a minute. When I say the words “let’s go for a walk” that’s when they know the fun begins. The best available days are Monday through Friday from 9 am to 7 pm. I am also flexible with some availability on weekends if needed. Non-Smoking household, No children present, nearby dog parks, daily runs, nearby walking trails, I have 3 dogs, I live in California Grove. I do not have a yard.

About: Hello! I love animals and have always grown up around dogs. I have had multiple reoccurring dog walking clients and have done over 40 services on the other dog walking app. My current dog is terrier mix of 10 years and still full of energy. I often take him out on hikes and regularly bathe him and brush his teeth. It’s such a pleasure to be able to walk dogs and play with them. I also love cats. I believe you need to earn their love and affection. I’m a detailed reviewer as well, sending lots of photos and videos as best I can! I hope I get to become besties with your pup! Currently I’m doing dog sitting and walking full time while applying for other jobs as a graphic designer! I’m available most of the time. For walking anywhere between 6am - 7pm. For sitting I can do overnight. I always make sure that I squeeze through the front door so your pet doesn’t run out. I’m very detail oriented and try to follow your instructions to the T. I want to treat your pets with the respect and care that I do my own! With lots of love and affection, and play time.


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 5, was able to get a chance to adopt my own dog after I got married. I’m in absolute awe of them each and every day I’m currently in between jobs so can take care of fur babies full time, I love to feed them and take them out on walks. Play with them I have an uber friendly and cute dog to keep your dog company. He has been the friendliest around kids and dogs in general. Super affectionate

“Caroline was wonderful with Yogi. They hit it off instantly and she was very engaging, considerate and caring with our young pup. We didn't have to worry about him for one second while we were out for the evening. Thanks so much, Caroline!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14, and I loved dogs all my life. I graduated with a degree in Ecology and I’m very familiar with animal behavior I can house sit or walk your dogs before or after work and over the weekend as you need me I am also available for house sitting during the week as needed I am very respectful of another’s space and I make sure all gates and doors are locked and the dogs are safe and secure in their homes.

“Fantastic job! Took great care of my kids! Every pic she took they looked like they had a blast!!! So thankful she grabbed my booking two days before my trip due to another cancelation. I had such a good and relaxing vacation due to her. Thank you Kaytlyn!”


About: I’ve raised five dogs of my own from puppyhood; as well as watched the dogs of my friends and family since I was young. I’ve had everything from mixed breeds, to French bulldogs, pugs, and even a pit bull! I have experience with oral medication administration and elderly dog care. My current dog was in my care before he could be weened, so I know plenty about little puppies! I believe in keeping my dogs as active as their health permits, so walks are a crucial part of the day for me. (If they can, of course. I’ve also had a senior dog with arthritis I’ve accommodated.) I have a knowledge of dog psychology and feel that it’s important to recognize dog behavior correctly. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule. As long as I know ahead of time, I’m most likely able to accommodate your pet. I always care for your pet as requested. Whether or not your pup is crate trained doesn’t matter, I’ve cared for both. If your dog needs medication, walks at certain times, a health specific diet, has allergies, can’t be around certain animals/noises/environments- I will go out of my way to make sure your pets needs are met. I will always treat your pet as my own.

About: I’ve always had a deep passion for rescuing and caring for animals. I’ve independently rescued and fostered 3 cats and a dog, and I'm also a dog mom to my fur baby, Peanut! Growing up with dogs my whole life taught me how to understand and care for pets of all ages and personalities. I’ve also pet-sat for friends’ dogs and cats, and I treat every pet like they’re my own… with love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs belly rubs, playtime, working on potty training, learning new tricks or gentle senior care, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am a new graduate registered nurse and currently working per diem so my schedule is based on clinic need and based on my personal availability. Therefore, I’m fairly flexible and I will build my schedule around making sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention they need. In my home, I have a medium sized goldendoodle who loves to play and meet new friends! If your pet does not get along with other animals, I can come to you and do drop in visits, walks, etc. If there is a specific schedule to be followed, I will always make sure to follow that as close as possible and also give regular updates with photos and notes so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is always to treat your pet like family and ensure they feel secure and happy until you’re back. I believe communication is key :-)

“Jeanette did a great job watching our puppy again. Our dog got so excited when she saw her! We are able to have stress free vacations knowing she is caring for our pup. Thanks Jeanette!”

Shannon T.
“I’ve known Shan for about 5 years now, and she’s always been one of the most caring people I know, especially when it comes to animals. She has a golden doodle that she treats like her own child, and she used to take in stray cats she sees in her previous neighborhood until they could be rehoused. She’s also one of the best cat whisperers I know - strays just come up to her to pet them, and she doesn’t mind at all. One time, her friend’s cat got lost in another neighborhood, and Shan drove us 30 minutes to find it. We spent over an hour putting up flyers and looking everywhere, and Shan was there the whole time. She’s so dedicated to animals that I think it would be a huge blessing if your pet were in her hands. She’s really good at reading dogs’ body language to understand what they need or want. She’s the kind of person who would go the extra mile to make sure an animal is safe and happy. I think she’s the perfect person for this job.”

“Jeanette did a great job watching our puppy again. Our dog got so excited when she saw her! We are able to have stress free vacations knowing she is caring for our pup. Thanks Jeanette!”


Angel F.
“I have known Angel for many years now and would highly recommend her as a dog sitter/walker. She is friendly and dependable and has been a dog owner for as long as I can remember . Her energetic personality and big heart makes her a great fit to care for any pet.”
