Our cats were having the time of their lives while we were gone with Lyndsey! We loved seeing all of the photos and videos of them playing and it was so comforting knowing they were so well taken care of, played with, loved on and cleaned up after! I’m so glad we had her to come check on them while we were gone for the week and will absolutely book again!

About: Hello! I'm Lauren and I absolutely LOVE getting to spend time with dogs and cats, as I miss having my own. I'm experienced with caring for dogs with separation anxiety, dogs and cats that need medication/special treatment, as well as cats and dogs with disabilities. I'm a patient caregiver and make sure every pet gets lots of love and play. Thanks so much for checking out my profile! I'm currently unemployed. Until then I have open availability! I can check on animals many times in the day, host pets at my house (preferred) and keep pets overnight. I live with my boyfriend, Chase who sometimes helps me with walks when I have multiple dogs. We have a small, short fenced yard for dogs to run around in. My home is dog and cat safe, where they will not be able to get into any plants, food, or objects that would be harmful. In the client's home, I follow normal protocol that owners use. I always pick up poop in the yard and if staying multiple nights at the owners home, I will take out trash, do my dishes, and clean as necessary (basically treat it like an Airbnb!)

Brenna was lovely with Zoey. Zoey is normally very shy when she first meets a new person but when we had our meet and greet, she came right out of her hiding spot to say hi to Brenna.

About: I’m Chloe, and animals have always been part of my everyday life. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for pets of all kinds. I have over 10 years of experience with dogs and cats and truly enjoy walking, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. Pet care isn’t part of my everyday routine, but when I take on a booking, it becomes a priority. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs to make sure they get consistent care, attention, and exercise while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their usual routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure pets are fed, walked, exercised, and given attention according to their normal schedule. As well as extra love and snuggles, I love pets!!

About: Greetings. I’ve had a best friend who was with me everyday for 15 years. I was with her from the beginning to the end. I am sensitive to the needs of our dogs and always very aware of our surroundings. I’m ultra aware of the cayotes up here and all their tricks. With the new smells and distractions for some dogs that are not from here I always feel safer to keep them on leash during our walks. I live alone in a quiet cabin on a quiet street, no traffic and no neighbors. Big fenced back yard and a small gated front porch. I know all the trails in Sierra track as well as the whole area. I’m very flexible and will take care of all the little things that are needed and the unexpected ones that pop up. I know how stressfull it can be traveling and then leaving your best friend with someone. I will communicate with you and make it easy and stress free. It’s a big adjustment not having my sweet girl Francis. I was so used to waking up and she was there, or coming home and she was sitting in my spot waiting for me. Honestly this is good for me having a dog around. It’s helping with this process I’m going through. I am very flexible and available almost anytime and on short notice if life happens. I know how that goes. I know the trails and areas to go that are safe and fun. Im an early riser, and I enjoy mornings walks when it’s nice and quiet with no traffic or crowds of people. I have no problem with taking the pup with me in the car to run a quick errand or even better a day trip somewhere. Some dogs love car rides with the window down and nose out. And some do not. It’s all optional, absolutely no problems leaving him or her at home while I’m out for a sec. I primarily work from home and would be with him/her almost all the time. My dog Francis was a little attached. Maybe loyal is a better word. I was very lucky with her and didn’t have to worry too much. But I learned to never ever let anything happen to her. Very aware of our environment. Cars, other dogs, cayotes, bees , bodies of water and all weather conditions, hot pavement and even to always avoid the drains/grates in the roads ect. I’m not disactred by my phone or anything else. I’ll only feed what the owner approves.

This was our first time leaving the animals for this long and the regular updates from Sandra made it all so much easier. She came over to meet the animals before we went out of town, and was always communicative and timely when she was coming to sit. Super appreciate it. Will be hoping to book her again!

Katie did a great job looking after my two kitties. She responded right away to my booking inquiry and came over to meet the kitties before our trip. Katie was on time, responsive, and reliable. She had to deal with the fact that my kitties have a habit of getting excited, eating too fast, and then not being able to keep it down. She checked in with me and made some feeding adjustments over the visits and by the end of our trip both kitties were happily retaining their food. She also sent lots of great pictures during her visits. I would recommend Katie to others and hope to book with her again in the future.

Best pet sitter ever! She always communicated quickly. Took excellent care or my cat, giving her cuddles, playing with her and brushed her. You could really tell that Kitty was very happy and comfortable. Helena stayed the entire time and took many photos and videos at each drop in visit. Helena was honest and extremely reliable. I would definitely have Helena pet sit again.
