About: Throughout the years, I have always naturally bonded with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have dedicated much of my life to caring for pets, starting from the time I was young when family and neighbors relied on me for daily feeding, walking, and playtime. Whether your dog needs gentle senior companionship, patient routine maintenance, or a fun play session, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply loved while you are away. My partner and I work together to maintain a highly flexible routine, ensuring your pets always receive plenty of attention. Between the two of us, we are readily available throughout weekdays and weekends for reliable check-ins, timely feedings, and continuous companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. As a team, my partner and I provide attentive, gentle supervision while strictly following all of your house and care instructions. Having two dedicated caregivers means your pet gets extra care, secure monitoring, and regular photo updates.

About: If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets like they're part of the family, you've come to the right place! I've always loved animals and understand that leaving your pet with someone else takes trust. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing dependable, loving care while you're away. Whether it's dog walking, house sitting, drop-in visits, or caring for cats and dogs, I'll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe every pet deserves personalized attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet simply enjoys cuddles on the couch, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. When you book with me, you can expect: Plenty of love, attention, and playtime Fresh food and water Walks and exercise based on your pet's needs Medication administration if needed and instructions are provided Frequent photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing Respect for your home if I'm house sitting I'm reliable, responsible, and committed to treating your pets with the same care I'd want for my own. I know how important communication is, so I'll keep you updated throughout every visit or stay. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I can't wait to meet your best friend! I currently work five days a week, with shifts on Wednesday and Thursday from 7:30 AM–12:00 PM and Friday through Sunday from 11:30 AM–7:30 PM. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. If you have any questions about my schedule or whether I'll be a good fit for your pet's needs, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to discuss my availability and make sure we're a great match before booking! Safety is my top priority whenever I'm caring for your pet. At home, we crate our German Shepherd puppy whenever no one is there to supervise him, so I understand how important it is to securely kennel a dog before leaving the house if that's part of their routine. I know every pet has different needs, and I'm committed to following your instructions carefully to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. My family feeds our dogs twice a day, in the morning and evening. While our dogs let us know when they're ready to eat, I'm more than happy to follow your pet's specific feeding schedule and any other routines they're used to. I believe consistency helps pets feel more comfortable while you're away, and I pride myself on being punctual and dependable. I also love taking dogs on walks to give them exercise, mental stimulation, and quality one-on-one attention. Throughout each visit or stay, I'll send regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

About: I have taken care of pets like dogs, cats, reptiles, and farm animals since I was very young. I have experience with small to large dogs as well as young to senior dogs and cats. I have also volunteered at shelters for the past few years and helped them too. I am currently taking care of animals full time. I am available at all hours and all days as long as I have no other bookings. I have a fenced backyard and a pool that my dogs love. I also have 3 dogs of my own. I have a German Shepherd puppy and 2 senior Chihuahuas. I strive to make sure all animals I take care of are happy and safe.

“Mia did a wonderful job caring for our dog and cat while we were away- they were calm and happy upon our return. We felt comfortable knowing she was at our house, and she did an excellent job communicating with us.”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I have a pretty busy schedule, but can set aside time on my busy days for drop-ins. I am free to stay at the house with your pet on my off days! To paint a better picture for you of what my availability looks like, my schedule alternates between busy and free days every other day. So if you need 24/7 in-home pet care I am not your best fit, but you can still ask if you’d like! I might be able to work something out for you :) Thank you for your consideration! I offer dog walking, in-home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!

“Madison was fantastic! Flexible, always in contact and our dog was happy :) - will hire her for our next trip Thank you Madison”

“Kelsey is awesome. She's a natural with doggies and you can tell she's been around them all her life. Henry took to her immediately and we came home to a happy and healthy dog. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life! I’ve been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from little puppies to older dogs. My grandma also fostered dogs, so I was always surrounded by them growing up! I have 4 years of pet-sitting experience, but I’ve also grown up taking care of our own dogs my whole life. people always tell me how much their dogs love me! I absolutely adore animals and would treat your fur babies like my own! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online! I’m available all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have in-person classes Tuesday and Thursday but can discuss morning or evening visits. I’m also happy to stay overnight in your home! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll always follow their normal routine, respect your home, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your fur baby is in good hands!

“Excellent communication, babies were all very happy and cared for. House was perfect upon coming home…. Will rebook with you again for sure! Thank you so much.”

“We needed a last-minute sitter, and are so lucky to have found Kara! She treated our high-energy bulldog with lots of love and was incredibly respectful of our home. I will hope to rebook with Kara again and again and would highly recommend her to other families looking for a trustworthy, dependable sitter. She is also very quick to communicate and made sure to keep us updated with photos. Perfect experience!”

About: I had all different kinds of pets growing up, including cats, dogs, birds and rodents, so I have a lot of experience taking care of a mixed species household. Now, I have two cats living with me, Felony and Fido, and a senior cat living at home in Northern CA named Oreo turning 23 this year. I work very flexible hours, so I am available for sitting or drop ins most days! My cat's routine is very consistent so I understand how important it is, when I am sitting the pets' schedule comes before my schedule I am comfortable with walking multiple dogs and crating animals of all kinds. Making sure pets have clean and safe places to eat, sleep, play and poop is my top priority.

About: I grew up with dogs, I'm 22, my last boy recently passed last year in the summer. Ever since I couldnt bring myself to get a new dog, not after him. But I do have a bunny that I rescued from a bunny shelter in the bay! I've showered, groomed, walked, etc dogs in the past. With my last boy, he had cancer so I guess you can say I have a bit of experience with following a oral medication administration schedule. I also did have a senior dog prior to him, that's all an experience. I had him when he was a pup so I did raise my boy and I think I did a pretty good job at it too. I currently work 3, irregular 12 hours shifts, the days are different every week. My school schedule is a bit more set. With that being said If I'm not working my 12 hr I'm available after 12 noon any day besides Saturday, currently. I do live with roommates in a spacious house with a yard. I don't think id be able to take in any doggies for boarding for long periods of time, maybe for the day but even then those are slim chances. For the times that I can, your pup will be surrounded with fun animals lovers that love to spoil and play with anything fluffy. We do have a cat and a bunny in the house but they are easy to keep away or be put in a different room of the house. I, personally, love a good walk on a trial and a good trip to the dog park. I'm all up for water activities, I don't mind washing your pup. Even a good stoll through the neighborhood and ending it with a movie and lots of cuddles. Indoor or outdoor, I can work with just about any activities or tasks.

About: Served as a volunteer and foster parent for many rescued animals in Bali during the pandemic. My experience with animals is vast. Ive grown up with many different kinds of pets. Cats. Dogs. Birds. Reptiles. Rodents. Chickens. ducks. Donkeys. Horses. Pigs. Goats. You name it. I love all animals. I was raised in the foothills in the redwood forest. I’m a very down to earth and healthy lifestyle human who just loves fur babies of all types. I’m attentive and loving and playful with animals. I really need it as much as they do. I work early in the mornings off around 9am and then have most of the day to myself. It’s nice to have an excuse to take a dog on a walk or to lounge around with some kitty cuddles. Having animals in my home makes it feel more like a home. In my own home I will be in close proximity at all times and I will be home the entire time so I can sense when potty breaks or walks are needed. I really enjoy taking walks myself so it’s a perfect fit to have dogs over. Cats are similar with the exception of walks unless you want to leash train them or already have. I love to keep an eye on them so they don’t hurt themselves and I give lots of play time.

“Riley did amazing with Kilo! He kept me posted with pictures and followed his eating schedule. Riley was respectful of my phone and allowed Kilo plenty of pool time. Will definitely book with Riley again in the future!”

“Julia watched our two dogs for the week we were on vacation. She did an absolutely wonderful job with them, the house, and communication! Will be rebooking with Julia in the future :)”

“Sabrina is absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend her services. My animals loved having her stay at the house, and she gave them so much attention, care, and love. They looked very content and relaxed in all the pics. Thank you for everything, Sabrina. The pups and Archie can't wait to see you again very soon!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with our two doggies, Olivia and Ollivander! Olivia is still a puppy and definitely requires some extra attention, patience, and care, and Alexandra handled her beautifully. She was equally attentive and loving with Ollivander, making sure both of them felt comfortable, happy, and cared for while we were away. She followed all of their routines and instructions carefully, kept us updated, and gave us so much peace of mind knowing our babies were in such good hands. We came home to two happy, relaxed doggies, which says everything! We are so grateful to have found Alexandra and would absolutely trust her with Olivia and Ollivander again. She will definitely be our first choice whenever we need someone to care for them. Highly, highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”
