Cat Sitting Spinks Corner

About: I’ve cared for pets since childhood, raising both cats and dogs of my own and helping neighbors, friends, and family with theirs. I have experience with puppies as young as 15 weeks, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require gentle, patient care. I’ve also raised two cats from kittens to adulthood, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ve personally walked through the joy of raising pets and the heartbreak of saying goodbye to four beloved dogs and one cat in their senior years, which gives me a special compassion for aging pets and the families who love them. I’m also certified through the GoodPup Dog Training Certification program, which has strengthened my understanding of reward-based care, basic training support, enrichment, and helping dogs feel safe and successful. What sets me apart is not just my love for animals, but my reliability, consistency, and attention to detail. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences so I can care for them with the same patience and love I give my own. As a stay-at-home mom and small business owner who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day for boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddle breaks. I do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I provide a safe, welcoming, family-style home environment with a fenced backyard, plenty of room to play, and no resident pets, so visiting dogs receive lots of attention and care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routines, feeding schedule, crate routine, medication instructions, and comfort preferences as closely as possible. My young son is part of our daily routine and may be present during bookings. He has been raised around animals and is always supervised, so I only accept pets who are comfortable around small children. For cat care, I provide attentive drop-in visits focused on feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and updates while you’re away.

“Kendra was amazing. Very quick to respond which was so nice as my husband and I were traveling abroad. She followed our requests for meal times for our kitties, and sent lots of photos. We would definitely have kendra back! Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.

“Juliana was great! She listened and responded to any concerns, sent pictures and updates after each visit. I would recommend her to care for your fur baby!”

About: Hi, I’m Mandy! I’m an Animal Science graduate from Cal Poly with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pets. During college, I worked at a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My experience has taught me that caring for a dog is about more than just walks, meals, and playtime—it’s about understanding them. I’m very familiar with dog body language and behavior and pay close attention to the little things that tell me how a pup is feeling. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or somewhere in between, I take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable. Communication is a huge priority for me. If your pup gets injured, has an upset stomach, vomits, has diarrhea, starts acting differently, or simply seems a little “off,” I’ll let you know as soon as possible. You’ll never be left wondering how your pup is doing while they’re in my care! And because I know how much we all miss our pets when we’re away, I’ll provide daily report cards so you can keep up with all the fun, cuddles, walks, and adventures your pup had that day. 🐶💕 My goal is to give your pup the same patience, attention, and care I would want someone to give my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member! I currently work from home, so I’m home for most of the day and have plenty of flexibility to give your pup attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule can vary from day to day, but I’m generally able to work pet care into my routine and make sure your pup’s needs always come first. If I do need to step out for a little while -whether I’m grocery shopping, running an errand, meeting a friend -you can still feel confident knowing your pup is safe and cared for. I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and settled before I leave and will always plan around their feeding, potty, medication, and exercise needs. I’m happy to discuss your pup’s specific routine and schedule ahead of time so we can find what works best for everyone! I live in an apartment with my two dogs and two cats, so my home is already a pet-friendly environment. My dogs are very well socialized and have experience being around dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. They have never been ones to instigate a fight, but I always prioritize safety and comfort when introducing animals. When caring for your pup, I’ll keep interactions with my own pets limited at first and will have my pets in a separate space when needed so your dog can settle in and feel comfortable without being overwhelmed. If you’re comfortable with it and your pup seems like a good match, I’d also be more than happy to gradually introduce them to my dogs after they’ve had some time to settle in. I do live in an apartment, but I have access to a fenced-in yard where I regularly take my own dogs to potty, stretch their legs, and get some outdoor playtime. I’m happy to give your pup plenty of opportunities to get outside as well, depending on their routine and needs.
