House Sitting in Shively

“Melina is fantastic with our dog and cat! She takes care of the house and I come home to a clean house.”

“Lizzie was amazing with our 2 beagles that don't like to be left alone! She came the day before to meet the pups and got along great with them. She was prompt and reliable. We were only gone a few hours but when our appointment ran a little over, Lizzie was very accommodating. I would highly recommend Lizzie to anyone in need of pet care services!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, and it’s truly one of my greatest joys. Whether it’s taking energetic pups on long walks, giving belly rubs and playtime, or providing extra TLC to senior pets, I treat every furry friend like my own. I’m comfortable with administering medications, sticking to special routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a passion, and I love building trust with both pets and their owners. My little dog, Cranberry, is also one of friendliest small dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure of being mom to and I bet ya, your dog will love her as much as I do ✨ I love to go above and beyond for my clients. For any home visits/stays, I shall respect your space, your rules, and wishes. I want everyone to feel safe, heard, and seen ✨ also if you ever need anything above the pet care, we can chat about extra details and the such. (Ie: cleaning, watering plants, pulling weeds, etc) Xox Thank you for reading, hope to meet your sweet animal soon 🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰 I am currently looking for go back to school part time, so depending on classes, I will be able to fit pet care in on those off times. Safety and trust is of the utmost importance. Let’s create a clear conversational pathway we’re there is direct honesty of what is needed and expected and everyone will be happy ✨ I can provide picture updates whilst with your pet.

About: Much of my animal experience comes from not only owning but also veterinary experience, grooming, daycare and volunteer work! Loving animals is dream job 🫶🏽 Currently, I have a flexible schedule for you and your fur babies convince! (: Prefer afternoons/night activities on most days but can work with you to do mornings! I am familiar with dog/cat behavioral traits and characteristics through years of experience in order to more comfortably and safely interact with your paw-pals 🐾

About: I have grown up with a wide range of animals from chihuahuas that we rescued, multiple Great Pyrenees, pregnant cats, kittens, and two parakeets that lived for many years. I am currently traveling and am open to most places, schedules and situations. I like to go with the flow but also stick to a schedule once made. I will follow all schedules and rules provided for you animals. I understand strict diets and allergies as I have them too! Hah I will respect your home and keep tidy.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including rescues and pets with anxiety. I’m patient, reliable, and skilled with administering meds, special diets, and building trust with even the shyest pets. Your fur baby will feel safe, loved, and right at home with me! Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s a daily joy and a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s starting my morning with a walk, spending quiet afternoons giving cuddles, or staying attentive to their needs throughout the day, pets bring purpose and happiness to my life. I’m dedicated to creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and valued. Because I genuinely enjoy their company, pet care feels less like work and more like spending time with friends—and that makes all the difference. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines—feeding, playtime, walks, and rest—to reduce stress and keep them happy. I give plenty of attention and affection, and monitor their health closely. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect their space and daily habits. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, medication, exercise, and play. I make sure to keep their home secure and tidy, and provide companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. In both settings, my goal is to treat every pet like family and keep them safe, loved, and stress-free.

About: Some previous work experience (6 months) with the Sequoia Humane Society where I worked hands on with cats and dogs with various personalities and temperaments. Recent graduate who is currently employed part time (weekends), which gives me plenty of time to play with and watch over your pets during the week! I will always be sure your pets are safe and out of harms way. While I’m with your pet they will not be left unattended.

“Stari was amazing with our dogs. We have one difficult dog and Stari was great with her. She stayed and watched our house, took the dogs out on walks around the neighborhood and to the beach, and most importantly took really good care of our dogs. She sent photos and they were always content and happy! I would highly recommend her to watch your pets! Thanks Stari”

“Claire did a great job with our dog Bridge. He was a bit panicky with the storms going on. She survived his pacing and panting through a couple of nights, and kept in good contact with us for any helpful hints we could give her. We sure appreciated all that she did to take such good care of him!”

Debby L.

“We booked Maria for a few nigbt and Maria was wonderful with our two dogs!! Her nightly check ins were a wonderful touch, especially since we were nervous leaving them with someone new. We have her booked in a few weeks and I am at ease knowing they will be well taken care of for a longer period of time.”

“Kylie sat for my cat while I was out of town for a month. That's a long pet sit when many things could go wrong. But they didn't, for the most part. Kylie took good care of my cat and was very respectful of my home. I will use Kylie again.”

Rachel L.

“We had an excellent experience with our dog and house sitter, Anna! She took such great care of our Pitty mix and Chihuahua —sending regular updates and adorable photos that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. She was super responsive, kept our home clean, and even helped out with things like watering outdoor plants. It was clear she genuinely cared, and we came home to happy pups and a tidy house. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful sitter!”

About: I have had experience in pet care for about 10 years, I was a volunteer at Miranda’s Rescue for a while and gained tons of knowledge from that! But growing up with all the pets me and my family have and had helped me learn the most. I learned a variety of skills that make me a great pet caregiver. I have been a pet sitter and walker for my friends and family but hope to expand to more clientele. I have such an enthusiastic passion for animals and my goal is to someday have a great career that includes all sorts of animals. I just graduated high school last month and am on a gap year before attending college, I have lots of free time and hope to use it for all those who are in need of my services! I have worked with many dogs and cats that are nervous around new people and I am always sure to acknowledge that the animals know that I am just a guest in their home and do everything in my power to make them feel the most comfortable around me.

About: I take care of many dogs and have had them at my house or stay at their owner’s house. Either way I am very comfortable with all sorts of animals. I have taken care of goats to bunnies, dogs in diapers and some in wheelchairs with love and expertise and compassion. I am currently not working and have lots of love and time for your fur babies. Dogs bring me a lot of joy. I also really love walking so I can exercise your dogs anytime. I have a fenced yard and lots of space for animals. I also have a corral if the dog needs to be locked us at night.

“Channing was great! She provided updates on the dogs throughout the weekend and was a very good house guest. You can tell she loves animals! We’ll definitely be booking her again when we’re out of town!”

About: Hello! My name is Allison (but I go by Sonny 😊) and I have 6 years of experience working professionally with animals. I began my journey in the pet care industry in 2016 doing pet sitting and dog walking before moving onto my career working at Petco in 2017. I started out doing animal care for the small animals, reptiles, fish and adoptable cats. In 2018 I found my passion when I became a certified Positive Reinforcement Dog trainer and have been training ever since while continuing to do pet sitting and dog walking on the side. I am excited to use the skills and expertise I’ve learned to make your pet feel as happy and cared for as possible! I am available to do drop in visits for your pet where I can take them out for a potty break, feed them, play with them, and administer medication or bathe them if necessary. I am also available for standard dog walking with 30 or 60 minute time slots. If you are interested in dog training or doing training walks with your dog please reach out for further scheduling and rates! I am committed to pet care full time and am available for you and your pet anytime during the week and weekend for any services you may need! I have many years of training and experience in how to properly care for animals in the most kindest way possible. In my experience as a Dog trainer I have acquired the ability to expertly assess animals body language and respond in whichever way helps make them feel most at ease and heard. I have worked with dogs as small as 3lbs and as big as 200lbs as well as animals with special needs. I have experience in administering medication to dogs, cats, reptiles and other various small animals such as guinea pigs and hamsters. Working with animals is my passion in life and I am fully committed to giving you and your pet a fun, positive and safe experience!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 5 years old. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to feed, exercise and take care of their animals. Overnights are not always going to be accepted for me on weekends due to hunting season and having animals of my own. I’ll be able to accept any times during the week due to being laid off. Cash payment is always welcome to save money 😁 I love playing fetch with dogs and giving cats all the scratches they want and desire haha. I am used to spoiled animals so your animals will definitely get the exercise they need. I am also able to crate dogs if needed.

“Aurora was awesome. Very communicative and sent such sweet pictures making me feel very at ease during her stay with my beagle. I could tell he was in good hands. 100% recommend ?❤️.”

About: Since a young kid I have always loved being around animals, and would dog sit as my first job at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve cared for countless animals for friends and family, as well as helped train puppies. I work from home and am self employed, so my schedule is flexible and open. I also care for a family member’s dog on a regular basis. I not only cater to my own dogs physical needs, but also to their emotional needs. So on top of making sure your pet is well fed and taken care of, I will always give your pet the deserved attention.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a kid bottle-feeding my family's kitten and training our puppy to heel. I'm always excited when neighbors and friends ask me to watch their pets, and go the extra mile to make sure they don't feel lonely or bored while their people are away. I can keep up with detailed schedules and don't mind the "gross" chores of cleaning up messes and administering medication. I keep my schedule pretty loose and flexible, and am able to make room for availability. Feel free to contact me for more specifics or to discuss any openings. I am always sure to let a pet get used to me, my scent, and my presence when I first meet them. Their comfort and safety is my priority, and I will put in extra effort to learning the details of how they need to be cared for.
