“Nicole is an absolute gem of a house and pet sitter! From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing my cat, Arrow, was in such caring hands. She sent sweet photo updates every day—each one a little love note from home—and responded to my messages with lightning speed and so much warmth. When I returned, my house was spotless, cozy, and serene. Nicole had even washed and made the bed, which felt like the most thoughtful welcome home. Arrow was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored—his energy said it all. It’s rare to find someone so kind, attentive, and respectful of both your space and your beloved pet. I would wholeheartedly recommend Nicole for any house sitting or pet sitting needs. She’s a true caretaker, and I feel so lucky to have found her!”


“Lynnette is one of the best I've seen with animals. My dog Mavis is a retired service dog. She is temperamental and slow to warm to people. Lynnette is the first person I've seen Mavis interact with who could sit with and pet her, in the first 5 minutes. Mavis was so at home with Lynnette and tried to guard Lynnette when I arrived to bring her home. Lynnette played, walked, and relaxed with Mavis. She sent me updates, pictures, and videos of Mavis having a wonderful vacation. She has an enclosed yard that allows dogs to safely explore outside. I highly recommend Lynnette!”


“Rachel did an amazing job caring for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She was bery careful to make sure our dog Chloe got her medicine 3 tomes a day. Everything was done as instructed and our pets seemed well taken cate of,”


“Such an amazing experience having Nyah watch our dogs and staying at our house. Nyah shared photos and videos of the dogs chilling out with her and on walks. One of our dogs is a finicky eater and Cooper ate all of his meals. When we arrived home, the dogs were completely relaxed and greeted us like we had only been gone a couple of hours. Besides the dogs Nyah was a fantastic house guest. Such a fantastic find. Thank you Nyah!!”


“Hailey was wonderful! It was our very first time learning our 4 month old puppy with someone and she took the best care of him, sending us updates and pictures throughout the evening. I can definitely recommend her!”

“Lauren is the best! She communicated well and was thoughtful and caring during all of our interactions. Otis loved her immediately and I felt 100% comfortable knowing he was in her very capable hands. The house was just as we left it and Otis was happy and tired. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was small. Was raised on a farm so have always had a heart for all four legged friends. I available pretty much any time. I work early shifts sometimes but it shouldn't get in the way. I am looking for a long term schedule I have a fenced in front patio. I also have 2 small dogs that live with me that are very friendly they have had their shots and have been neutered and spayed. I take them on several walks a day, they could use the friends

About: I've been a pet owner myself growing up and been taking care of a handful of critters over the past few years, so far it's been a blast my schedule is pretty open for overnight/extended stay pet care at the moment, if I'm not out of town or working a farmers market I'll be available for all your pet care needs any care instructions you have for your pets and home I'll gladly oblige, I'll be watchful and mindful and courteous to ensure the safety and well-being of your pets

About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with a lovable dog named Marley (in my profile picture). At just 10 years old, I started walking dogs around my neighborhood, and that grew into a passion for pet care. While I’ve mostly catsat over the years, I’ve also had the unique experience of snakesitting! Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I love all animals and treat every pet like my own. My schedule is currently open and will be until this upcoming school year. My other passion is working with children and i’m planning to be a substitute teacher starting this fall! I grew up with the notion “leave the place better than you found it.” I’m very aware of leaving a clients home nice and clean. I’m not afraid of picking up pet messes and i’m very good at putting things back where I found them. I pay close attention to care instructions as I believe it’s important to keep a pet on their familiar schedule.

About: Hi! I’ve been dogsitting and walking for the last 5 years while i’m in college! I specialize in smaller dogs but also have cared for bigger dogs as well! I am a Nursing student at the SRJC currently on Summer Break. My availability is open through the Mid of August. I can also care for your fur animals beyond August ! I respect the wishes that each client has towards the care for their fur baby :) I am available during the week and weekends summer time !

About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs my whole life. Growing up on a ranch, I was constantly surrounded by pups, some mine, some rescues, and all full of personality. I’ve cared for big dogs, nervous dogs, high-energy goofballs, and everything in between. I used to have a Great Pyrenees and a whole crew of German Shepherds, and now I’m just really missing having dogs around. I always follow any feeding, walking, and medication instructions to a T, and I’ll keep you updated with pics and notes so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I don't have dogs at home right now, so your pup will get my full attention without competition or stress. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone calm and loving to hang with, I’m your girl! I work full-time from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which means I’m available for evening check-ins, walks, or playtime during the week. I’m also free most weekends and would love to spend that time hanging out with your pets. Whether it’s a quick visit, a post-work walk, or some weekend company, I’m happy to help however I can! I know firsthand how important our animals are—they’re family. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone new with your pet. That’s why I go above and beyond to make you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. I treat every animal like one of my own and make it a priority to follow your routines exactly, so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved in their own environment. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always respectful of your home. You can count on me to show up when I say I will, give your pet the attention they deserve, and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how things are going.

“Wendy was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our dog and our home while we were away for 12 days. She treated our dog like he was her own with lots of love, cuddles and walks! I highly highly recommend Wendy for your pet sitting needs. She is the best!”


About: At my youngest age, I balanced on the lines of wanting to be a veterinarian or a marine biologist. My passion for animals and other life forms on this planet fuels my love and enjoyment of spending time with the pets I have and had in the past, along with new furry friends to meet. Currently working a flexible internship with a good amount of free time. Happy to fill it walking doggos, checking in on any furry friend, and love pet sitting over night. Safe and quiet home environment with a private backyard and lots of windows to catch sun rays. Play space and plenty of toys to choose from. I am also a person who enjoys talking to animals so I will consistently talk to them!

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals—dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and even small pets like rabbits and birds. I previously owned a pet sitting business, where I stayed in clients’ homes and cared for their pets just like they were my own. With client permission, I loved taking dogs on hikes and adventures, in addition to providing regular exercise, feeding, and administering medications. My background as a large animal vet tech has given me valuable skills in handling pets of all ages and needs, from energetic puppies to senior animals requiring special care. Above all, I have a deep love and dedication to making every animal feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available Monday through Friday in the afternoons and evenings, and on weekends I’m available 24/7. While I’m currently not taking sitting stays until mid-August, I’m happy to offer drop-in visits and walks to make sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Prior to scheduling any drop-in or walk, I require a meet-and-greet with you and your pet to ensure we’re all comfortable and the right fit for each other. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and medications. I treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping things clean, secure, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I also take time to build trust with your pet, giving them plenty of patience, attention, and affection so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been a pet sitter for many years starting when I was 12 where I was puppy training and house sitting twice a week for 3 years. I love animals but I am allergic to cats so I will need to know about cats before hand. My schedule is very flexible this summer so I can work whenever. I have a few trips planned this summer but other than that I am free Monday-Saturday until September. I love playing with animals taking them on walks, playing with toys and teaching them tricks if I can. I consider myself an athletic person so I mostly would spend my time taking the animal on walks if I can.

About: Experienced with all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I provide calm, attentive care, stick to routines, and handle meds or special needs confidently. Pet care is currently my top priority at this time, allowing me to be able to focus on your pet and their specific needs every single day. In clients' homes, I follow their pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and meds as needed. I keep the space tidy and pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free.

Heriberto "Eddie" R.
“Eddie has been pet sitting/house sitting for us for the past 5 years. He is extremely responsible and trustworthy. At one time we had several animals that he took care of. An African grey parrot, several fish, 2 dogs and a cat for 10 days at a time. He is very low key and loves animals. He walks the dogs, brings in our mail and waters plants for us. He comes from a great family and very family ordinated. I have personally known his mother for over 26 years. My husband and I highly recommend Eddie.”


Alexia F.
“Alexia has taken fantastic care of my 2 cats, and I can't recommend her enough! She's extremely responsible, and I trust her completely. My instructions were complicated since my cats have some special instructions, and she did every ask like a pro. I even felt comfortable enough leaving my pets with her while I was camping with zero cell service since I knew she'd be reliable. Another great aspect about Alexia is that she loves animals, so you can tell she's having a great time and animals pick up on that too. She also made sure to take pictures and send them to me, which I really really appreciated! It's a relief to know my fur babies are in good hands while I'm away, and I would definitely go back to Alexia again in the future!”

Meggie P.
“Meggie is great with animals! My cat, who doesn't like people much, absolutely loves her. Meggie took care of her for a few days and when I got back the pair were basically best friends! I have a friend who brings their puppy around a lot and she also loves Meggie! Animals love her- like random outside non-pets too. She cares about the well-being of all living creatures and would make a great friend to any pet.”


danielle w.
“I have known Danielle all her life. She grew up in the country with lots of animals, cows, horses, dogs, cats, birds and gerbils. She is very knowledgeable about animal care. I have had her stay at my house several times taking care of my dogs, cats, chickens and sheep. I would call her in a heart beat if I needed some help.”


sophia n.
“Sophia did a great job with my dog and I would absolutely recommend her to dog-sit for anyone else. She was super nice and very easy to work with.
