“Christina was amazing! She was understanding and patient with my anxious pup, and capable of handling my dog-reactive one. I always worry that my roughhousing, loud dogs will be too intense for people, but Christina's experience proved to be a perfect fit! I would definitely recommend her as a sitter :)”


About: Hello my name is Ashly. I am an animal lover that has completed several vet tech classes at yuba college. I own one dog, a pig, and a few chickens. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. I am a mom of two. I can help out 7 days a week. MUST provide dog food for your pet for each stay unless you plan to hand me cash to go to the store to grab food for the duration of your pet's stay. My fence is a secure 6 feet high chain link fence. I am willing to check in on your furry family members, unable to stay at your home, however I am able to stop by every 1-4 hours depending on distance.

“Carly was an excellent communicator. She took lots of photos of the pets and wrote up a detailed account of her visit. She asked good questions at our meet and greet which gave me confidence in that she knows what she is doing.”


“Jessica was so great. She asked a lot of great questions during our meet and greet and was very respectful of their boundaries; we were confident she was experienced with cats and would do well with our boys. We came home to two happy, healthy boys! We will definitely book her again.”


About: I grew up here in Northern California with many different loyal pet dogs. After high school I joined the Army and got out of active duty in 2017. Long story short I moved to Alaska with my pet dog from Yuba City where I learned to be a dog musher and she learned to be sled dog. I’ve worked for various different high level sled dog kennels, thousands of different dogs, thousands of hours with dogs, thousands of miles with dogs, and even spent a year working at an Athletic & Longevity Canine Research Facility under the mentorship of some of best veterinarians and scientists. My knowledge and experience in general canine medical care, psychology, and training is advanced. I currently work from home & have a flexible schedule. I open to the special needs & care of your beloved pet from all ages. Each pet is individually unique when it comes to specific pet care, so I will work diligently with owners to best understand their pet. I have 1 spayed female 8 y/o Shepherd/Husky mix who is well tempered, a lead sled dog, well socialized to keep your pet company(friendly with both dogs & cats). I have a dog door that leads to a fenced in backyard. Regularly scheduled feeding, walks, & bathroom breaks.

About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I am an empty nester and would love to care for your four legged family members while you are away. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

“Kay is wonderful! Super communicative, kind, and trustworthy. Best compliment for a pet sitter is when the pet is barely excited to see their owner when they return because they were so well loved, and my cat had obviously been given great care and attention from Kay and was totally normal and regulated when we got home. Thanks so much for everything, Kay!!! Toaster and we appreciate you!!”


About: I have always loved animals and cared for lots of other people’s dogs, cats and horses as a kid and young adult before FINALLY having my own dog, Yuba, who is now 7 and loves welcoming new dog friends to his home. We are on 6 acres (2 acres fully fenced around the house) where we raise vegetables, sheep, goats and chickens. Your dog will get to roam, lounge, play and dig to their heart’s content. I can also take them to the park/on hikes I’m a stay at home mom so I’m mostly home with baby and doing farm chores/housework. If I have to run an errand I can crate your dog, leave them in the house or take them with me. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly 60 lb bull dog mix. If I’m feeding your dog I will feed them each in their own space to avoid any tension. As this is a working farm, your dog may learn about electric fences the hard way. They only need to learn once. We also have a bee hive but dogs generally know to steer clear of it.

About: Since I was a child, I have been helping my family and friends pet sit and take care of their dogs! More recently, I help take care of my roommates dog, whenever my roommate is working or out of town! I love to learn all about dogs and figure out how to ensure they live life to the fullest! I currently have a very open schedule! So I can be here for you and your pets pretty much whenever! I am able to work with your own schedule. I will make sure to take all the necessary precautions to ensure your pet is safe and happy! I will try my hardest to accommodate your pets needs as well as your own! If I feel as if I cannot give the best care possible, I will let you know beforehand.

About: I have had an array of pets my entire life. I am a true animal lover! I even grew up breeding, training and showing dogs with my Mom. Currently I have 9 fur babies who are my best companions. They love new friends, are up for new adventures and are very sweet and social butterflies. I would love to care for your well mannered fur baby while you are away or just need a day here and there for walks, etc. Note: For boarding in our home we require your fur baby is well mannered, potty trained and gets along with both cats and other dogs. My schedule is pretty flexible most of the time and I enjoy being home with all the fur babies! My home is very spacious and fur baby friendly! I have a large safe open area for daytime play as well as plenty of room for cozy cuddles at bedtime. I typically allow all fur babies on couches and beds as well.

About: Taking care of animals is my second nature. I grew up with animals; horses, cats, dogs, birds, rodents my entire life. I naturally feel their needs and have an unconditional love for animals I am super flexible for the summer. Tell me where you and your pet need help and I'm sure that we can work it out. I have a dog myself who loves to join walks. He is very well behaved and has taught several young dogs the code of social and healthy dog behavior. Of course I will keep your dog on a leash or in a crate when necessary

About: I have experience working about a year as a vet assistant/tech at a 24 hour ER hospital, know how to preform CPR on dogs. I currently work at a pet salon as a receptionist/bather, I also live across the street from my work which makes my lunch break an easy potty break for your pets. I am 3 blocks up from Henrysbeach which is a beach that allows dogs on the beach before 9am and after 6pm, I walk the beach just about everyday, and if too sandy can give them a bath at the local wash located in the parking lot. Please leave me a message to set up a meet and greet! I look forward to meeting you and your baby ! :)

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid, and even had the opportunity to volunteer at a boarding place when I was 8 where I got to play with, help train and take care of the dogs that came through. I’ve being pet sitting for about 3 years now for friends, neighbors, and strangers I’ve met through others I have previously pet sat for. I’m currently a full time college student and have been needing some extra money to help me get through, so I thought this would be a perfect fit! I have a large fenced yard with two dogs and two cats who my family and I love dearly. One of our cats was actually a pregnant stray who we brought in, and had a litter of 7 kittens!

“Colin did a great job taking care of our animals while we were on vacation. He was great with communication and always kept me up on how things were going. It was great to feel comfortable leaving on vacation and knowing our animals were well cared for.”
