Meighan did a wonderful job watching my cat, Meepers. Meighan was careful to check on her and send me photos. She even confirmed I came back. I'd definitely book Meighan for my sitter needs in the future. I recommend her to others as well.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love caring for them like they’re part of the family. I’ve helped watch over pets for friends and relatives whether it’s daily walks, feeding, giving fresh water, or lots of belly rubs! I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. I always try to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel happy and relaxed while their owners are away. I know how important routines are, and I’m careful to follow any specific instructions to keep your dog safe, healthy, and comfortable. I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week. I attend school from 8 AM to 12 PM, Monday through Thursday, and work part time on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. That means I’m fully available Mondays and Wednesdays after 1 PM. Friday’s through Sunday I am available all day every other week. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure they’re in a calm, secure, and pet friendly environment, whether we’re on a walk or visiting their home. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and behavior, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations. I follow all care instructions carefully and communicate clearly with pet parents, sending updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I treat every dog like family and work hard to earn their trust and keep them happy.

About: Since I was a just a kid I have loved all kinds of dogs, I know all the great dog parks in the area to play fetch or just let them run free (in the gated park of coarse) and even enjoy taking them on hikes threw out the city or to the beach on a sunny day! We can play fetch or tug o war, lay inside and hangout or go outside and enjoy the sun. When provided I will feed your pet and give them water when needed; and I will even give your pet treats or rewards for good behavior or fun tricks they may know. I can also provide possible grooming upon request and for an extra fee depending on grooming request and dog size and age.

About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.

About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my family ever since second grade when I presented a book of poems titled "I Love Dogs" to my parents begging them for a furry friend. I then started dog-walking and pet-sitting as soon as neighbors and family friends would have me. All these years later, getting to know dogs of all shapes and temperaments brings me as much joy as ever. I'm currently working a flexible schedule and am available to fit pet-care in most days. We can work together on a routine that works for both of us. I have a lot of experience dog and cat-sitting for pets of all different breeds and personalities. I am comfortable accommodating different homes and pets according to my client's particular needs.

Shaundra was very enthusiastic about connecting with our cat while we were away. While not a challenge for Shaundra, it gave us peace of mind to have someone visit each day.

About: Hi there! 👋 My name is Berenisse and I’m a Certified Basic Obedience Dog Trainer based in Buellton, CA. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and what started as a hobby has grown into my true passion. I bring a well-rounded background to pet care and training. I’ve worked as a vet tech and as a dog trainer’s assistant, giving me valuable hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have some experience in dog agility training, which I love incorporating for fun and exercise when appropriate. My approach to training and care is rooted in positive reinforcement—building trust, respect, and clear communication with every dog. I believe all dogs deserve patience, love, and encouragement, and I enjoy tailoring my care to meet each pup’s unique needs. I’m also very active, so whether your dog needs structured training, a playful walk, or an energetic workout buddy, I’m happy to be there for them. More than anything, I truly understand how much dogs enrich our lives—and I treat every dog as if they were my own. 🐾 Loving care, respectful training, and lots of tail wags guaranteed! Most of the time I work from home, I do drive around some days and when I am caring for dogs I try to incorporate car rides, physical and mental activity to keep them happy, healthy and to provide a positive experience. They get constant walks, the dog park is a couple blocks away from my house and I do take advantage of that to make sure they get their daily physical and mental estimulation.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, so naturally it feels like home for me! I have lots of experience, whether that be with my own pets or with others, and can help guarantee your pet gets all the love, care, and attention they need! Though I work a full time job at an equine reproduction facility, my before/after work and weekend schedules are flexible. I am more than happy to make time to ensure your pet is taken care of! I am more than willing to travel (locally) and assist with whatever is needed in my client's home! My skills vary from giving meds, bathing, walking, etc.

About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs. I have been petsitting and walking dogs for over 10 years. As well as on going three years experience working at a Veterinary Hospital. I believe that it is important to take each dog's individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. I enjoy any kind of interaction I can get! I have a 10 year old Yorkie at home who loves to play fetch and goes wild with the word "walk". He provides me with lots of cuddling and laughs. My goal for every pet is to make them feel loved, cared, and appreciated for! I am currently working part time, so i'll have plenty of time playing with your pups! My hours are very flexible and I am easy to contact just shoot me a message. I am always aware of pets getting out so I make sure leashes are on and gates are closed before letting pets out of the house.

About: I’m great with super active dogs! If you’re looking for someone who can hike/run and keep your pup fit- I’m your fit! Happy to take them out for multiple walks a day as needed. I currently work from home full-time, and make my own schedule so I can be super flexible with your dog’s schedule and needs. I always make sure to spend time outside and going for walks throughout my day. Weekends I love to be outdoors, bonus if your pup loves hiking! I’m happy to do in-home sitting and visits with a meet & greet beforehand so I can get to know your pets and their routines.

About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!). My heart is big, and I’m a sucker for all creatures. I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption. With a flexible work schedule, I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m physically fit and active, enjoying hiking and beach outings, but I’m just as happy to chill if that’s what Fido or Fluffy prefers. As a homeowner, I can ensure a stable and safe environment for your pets. I am comfortable with special dietary needs and have experience with litters of puppies and elderly dog care. I’m not afraid to get dirty and have administered insulin shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m not squeamish about medical needs either. I promise to love your fur baby as much as you do! Currently, I work from home part-time, offering me full flexibility and availability to meet your needs with a little notice. I’m all about pets and snuggles, and I will always ensure that any special needs or requests you have are taken care of to the best of my ability! I work from home part-time, with my little one in school and shared custody, allowing me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs with a little notice. Whether it's an active day of play or a cozy snuggle session, I'm here to provide loving care for your furry friend. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving space with constant supervision and attention. At your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring comfort and consistency. I am experienced with special dietary needs, medical care, and providing a safe, engaging environment tailored to each pet's needs.
