“So happy! I’ve come home to happy, healthy, better behaved dogs! Great communication! I loved the photos and video updates! Definitely recommend! Two thumbs up! All 3 dogs are happy and in great moods; and my anxiety is at an all time low!! Would definitely recommend and hopefully work with in the future! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

“Megan is amazing! She has such a sweet and sincere way about her that our kitties (and turtle) instantly trusted her. We keep asking her to do one more thing and she was super nice about it. She even did helpful things we didn't ask her to! We would ask her to sit for us again in an instant.”

About: I have always been an animal lover since childhood and have taken care of a variety of pets of all sizes! I've helped raise puppies, taken care of senior dogs, and helped train good walking, bathing, and bathroom habits. Most animals respond very well to me. Also being a bigger person I have no trouble dealing with larger dogs. Very experienced in all areas of pet care. I am a college student at College of the Redwoods pursuing my degree in Social Work. I have a free summer and would love to spend time with your pets! Weekends or evenings are not a problem for house sitting. I love to spend my time with animals giving them quality care and attention. I am more than happy to watch your pets while you are away on vacation or gone for the day. I can do drop bys or overnights depending on your preference and your animals needs. I have a large fenced yard that is great for dogs if you need doggy daycare. I have reliable transportation to get to and from. I can take them on walks in your neighborhood or go to a local dog park if you prefer. Very open to working with what is best for your animal. I have my own dogs at home but will leave them with my sister while caring for your animal(s) unless you would like the socializing. We have two friendly larger male dogs that love to meet new dogs if you are interested in doggy day care. Our home has a large size dog door for pets to access the house at their convenience.
About: I've been looking after dogs since I was a kid. I've always had dogs, I've worked for vets and for pet supply stores, and one side of my family is littered with vets and farm type folks. I have a ton of experience with all sorts of animals, but I love dogs the most. Right now I'm not doing anything else that requires me to be anywhere at any particular time, so I am incredibly flexible as far as scheduling goes. I live in an apartment with my 35 pound wonder mutt named Puck, and we're not allowed to have any animal guests, but I am more than willing to come to your place and follow your rules. Puck can also be left with a sitter if his presence would be an issue. I follow your directions and I care for your pets and your home as instructed. I am a fairly fastidious person. I believe in returning your place and your pets to you in at least as good a condition as I find them.
About: I started my first dog walking buisness at 10 years old and was only charging my neighbors 10 cents a walk 🤣 obviously since then I have grown and I have spent most of my time around animals. I used to be a professional equestrian and have been taking care of and around horses since I was 6! I've done 4H and i have a little bangle kitty of my own! I would love to work with your availability! I am completely available for overnights and I have a flexible schedule during the day as well! For boarding in house I currently live in a RV on a beautiful property with a river behind it with my kitty oscar. There is a main house where we train and raise dogs! So if your open to that then pet boarding with me would be great for you! I specialize more in overnight stays or pop in visits in my client homes, I understand the stress of worrying about your pets while your away, so I ALWAYS make sure to create a safe and clean environment for pets and YOU when you come home! That way you ALWAYS know everything is being taken care of FOR YOU and your furry friends:)
About: I've owned dogs and helped in their care since I was young. I've pet sat for friends and neighbors as well. My current dog has been trained by me to be a service dog, so I'm good with puppy training, as well as patience. I also take care of our elderly pugs grooming needs, such as nail trimming and coat brushing. I am currently at home often, so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I'll be able to make many runs over to check on your pet, or be able to stay with little to get in the way. If there ever is anything in the way, I will always be straight forward and communicate. I have a fenced in backyard and 3 dogs who are all very friendly. I never leave them alone and will always have an eye on them, so nothing goes wrong. I'm able to dog proof areas that may have problems, and keep anything dangerous well put of reach. I'm also able to have secure spaces incase dogs need to destimulate away from others. They will never be left alone unless I'm strictly given instruction.

About: 🐾 Reliable Pet Sitting & Walks — Dogs, Cats & Birds Welcome! Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover offering dog walks and overnight pet sitting. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from energetic pups who need long walks to older dogs who prefer a slower pace and extra attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines, giving them plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also have experience caring for birds of all kinds, which is something many sitters don’t offer. I’m comfortable helping with feeding schedules, cage care, and making sure your feathered friends stay happy and stress-free while you’re away. During overnight stays, I make sure your pets feel safe and relaxed in their own home while keeping things consistent with their daily routine. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and will care for your pets like their own, I’d love to help! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🗓️ Schedule & Availability I currently work Wednesday–Saturday from 2 PM to 11 PM, but I still have availability for pet care depending on your needs. I’m typically available for: • Morning walks and drop-ins before 2 PM • Late-night check-ins after 11 PM • Overnight pet sitting • Sunday–Tuesday availability with a more flexible schedule When doing overnight stays, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and comfortable before I leave for work and again when I return. I always try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and cared for. Feel free to message me with your dates and your pet’s routine, and I’ll do my best to accommodate! 🛡️ Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always follow the routine and care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special needs your pet may have. I pay close attention to behavior and comfort so pets stay happy and stress-free while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and secure during overnight stays. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are being well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pets feel comfortable and loved until you return home.

Friday Saturday Sunday availability unless it is the holidays and then I am typically available all the time as we rarely travel and often get work off. Fenced yard with friendly cats and dog, reliable transportation to your home, I also have lots of knowledge in exotic pets and birds as well.
“I needed to book super last minute (I think 3 days before…?) and Hannah was super good about getting back to me and making sure that she had all the information to drop in. I ended up changing the dates and number of time and she was also really flexible with me which I really appreciated. I’d book with Hannah again and I’ll probably do that soon actually.”

“Luci is amazing! She was so wonderful and caring with our dog, who is 80 pounds of fluff and energy! She made me feel very comfortable to leave our dog with her. I would totally use her services again in the future!”
