About: Since a very young age (about 5+), I have been taking care of a myriad of animals and learned animal body language from them. It was incredible and I learned a lot of valuable skills from them. After that, I took up teaching myself how to train dogs (plus puppies and cats) with positive training methods. It was a lot of fun and very rewarding to see how they engage, come together with themselves, and gaining a more fulfilling life. And now I am offering pet sitting! I have a lot of time and availability to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. *Note: Puppies must have had all 3 of their puppy shots in order for me to accept. I work from home so my schedule is very free and available from short to long stays. Perfect for people who love to travel or need consistent daily routines for their pets. I care for my client's home with respect and great care. I like to keep things clean and feeling good for everyone. The pets I will be a good friend to, treating them with kindness, play time, exercise if needed, and being consistent with their desired routine.

“Ashley came through on a last minutes reservation for me. They were able to take raider for a long walk for me and were a very nice couple. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the area.”

About: Growing up on a ranch, I always loved animals and helped care for many. From fluffy mammals to slithery reptiles and even some amphibious friends, I've always had animals in my life. I'm no stranger to big dogs either, and right now, my world revolves around my sweet senior toy poodle, Marshmallow. Basically, if it has paws, scales, or fins, I've probably hung out with it, and I can't wait to hang out with your pet too! My extensive hands-on experience has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs, ensuring your beloved pet receives the best possible care. I’m currently working part time as an ABA Behavioral Therapist, so I’m quite open to a variety of times and dates that will fit best for your schedule! When I care for your pets in your home, I make sure they stick to their usual routine as much as possible. This means feeding them on schedule, giving them their meds if needed, and making sure they get plenty of potty breaks and exercise. I'll play with them, offer lots of cuddles, and send you regular updates and photos so you can see how happy and comfortable they are. I treat your home with respect and leave it just as I found it, making sure your furry friends feel safe and loved while you're away.

“First time using Rover and Kaylee was awesome! Punctual, courteous and most importantly loving towards our Lyla. We will definitely be booking Kaylee again!”

About: I have had a pup of my own since he was 5 months. He’s given me lots of experience on how to house train and how to teach a dog manners amongst all the other shenanigans that comes with owning a dog. I’m also a part-time caregiver for seniors in their homes. I help assist them with daily tasks such as chores, cooking, as well as toileting and assistance with standing/sitting. This job has taught me patience and how to gently care for another as if they were my family. I’m currently a student who is also a part-time caregiver for seniors. My only class is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:20am-12:20pm, and my job schedule includes whatever client I am assigned to at the time. My schedule is very open, so I am flexible! I have a fenced yard with my one dog who hangs out with me when I am home. He is house-trained and well behaved, so he does not need a crate when I am gone. Though, I am able to easily crate your pup if that is what they need. I’d love to keep your dog company during check-in’s or stays, ensuring they feel safe and are given tons of pets while you are away!

“Sholeh was wonderful with our Nori! She’s warm and easy to communicate with, and was flexible. Nori can be a nervous pup around new people, but Sholeh’s experience really showed — she was patient and gave her space to warm up at her own pace. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely book again!”

“I’m new to Rover and Marissa was great. She tackled a challenging trail climb with my dog who is now happily resting calmly. She checked in at the beginning to inquire about my dog’s interactions with others. Thank Marissa!”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals in both professional and personal settings. I have worked with dogs for over three years, including experience at a pet resort where I was responsible for supervising and caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My experience includes feeding, administering routine care, monitoring behavior and well-being, maintaining clean and safe environments, providing exercise and enrichment, and making sure each pet receives plenty of individual attention. I also have experience working in a grooming facility, which helped me become comfortable handling dogs with different temperaments and needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience caring for horses and other livestock, so I am confident working with both small and large animals. Animal care is something I take very seriously. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I am attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I am will be starting school at Cal Poly in the fall studying animal science. I do have a job at a dog kennel but have long enough breaks to be able to check on the dogs and I work about 3-4 days a week. I ensure all the animals have the proper amount of food everyday, along with making sure they have enough water. If there is no doggy door I let the animals out as frequently as needed. I always make sure they have lots of walks, playtime, and cuddles.

About: Every creature I meet - from fuzzy, waggy, purry fluff balls to mysterious little pocket-sized critters - is an adventure waiting to happen. I greet each one with sparkling excitement and big-hearted curiosity and love. 🏡🐶🐱 Due to remote working, I’m always here for your animal!! Animals at my house get the luxury of having interaction at their paws 🐾 Animals know I understand their secret frequency. My patience, gentleness, and playful spirit make them feel like they've found their long-lost best friend. I’ve had animals by my side my whole life, which is probably why I’m basically an animal whisperer at this point. They sense my intuition — that soft, instinctive way I know exactly what they need, whether it's a snack, a cuddle, or something else. Animals aren't just pets. They're honorary members of my family; my tiny roommates with fur. My home is their kingdom; my heart is their cozy lounge. Where I go, animals follow — because they know I’m the kind of human who truly gets them. I don’t just fit animals into my schedule — I weave them into my day. My routine is delightfully flexible, perfectly shaped to welcome paws. My schedule is flexible and intuitive, allowing me to build in regular check-ins, feeding times, walks, and play sessions without stress or disruption. I move through my tasks with patience, intuition, and a sprinkle of magic — knowing exactly when a dog needs an extra trot around the block or when a cat needs a dramatic feather-toy performance. Animals slip into my schedule so naturally you’d think they helped design it. To every pet I care for, I’m the whimsical guardian who arrives right when they need me — the keeper of routines, the bringer of fun, and the human who makes their day just a little more sparkly. Safety begins with awareness, consistency, and preparation. When caring for an animal, I create a space where their physical well-being is always the first priority. That means secure environments (no open doors if they are not allowed out, hazardous items, or unsafe spaces), proper handling, and mindful supervision during walks, play, or feeding. I pay attention to their routines, health cues, and comfort levels, making sure they’re protected from stress, danger, or anything unfamiliar that could overwhelm them. A safe animal is a relaxed animal — and I make that possible. A good environment is one that supports an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I create spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and full of enrichment — spots for quiet rest, opportunities for play, and room to explore without fear. My presence makes the environment even better: calm, welcoming, and filled with positive interactions. Whether the animal is staying in my home or I’m in theirs, I make sure their surroundings feel familiar, soothing, and full of the little comforts that help them thrive.
