“Randi was Awesome! I got plenty of pictures and updates on our girl Sami. She and her family treated Sami as their own, which was reflected in the cuddling pictures. I would and will try to schedule Randi for our future care needs.”
“Diyanna was great. Kylo had an amazing time and we got daily photos and updates. If there was anything or concern, Diyanna was on top of it. Great communication and would highly recommend.”
“OMG. This was my first experience and can not emphasize how awesome, understand loving caring Maria is!! Even though my pumpkin stayed for one night half day she had pumpkin make a pup craft for Valentine's. This was not expected and Soo thoughtful. It was cute and Maria loved pumpkin. She not only updated me while I was gone but send us pic and videos with her young nephew playing too with pumpkin. I will definitely book her again and can not spread the word about Maria's service. I bet pumpkin misses you guys too as she found good friends to play with. Thank you, Maria!❣️🤗”
“It was easy to schedule a meet and greet before booking and get a chance to introduce our dog to Sherry, her husband, and their dogs. Our dog can be challenging sometimes, and we are so grateful for the care he had with Sherry. He came home tired and happy.”
“My Near just returned from an amazing 4 day holiday at Jacqueline's house , filled with all the cuddles from her sweet son, tasty treats (with my permission) and amazing care. I didn't worry one second because I received update messages and pictures in the morning and evening to update me on how Bear slept (in the morning) and how her day was (in the evening). Punctual, loving , excellent communication and receptive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Will be rebooking again!!!”
“Very thankful we found Lupe for a last minute trip we planned. Our dog had a great time and was so happy when I picked him up. She has some small sweets who were super friendly, and we got picture updates while we were gone. Overall great experience!”
“Gizelle and her family took amazing care of our dog, Fenway. This is our first time using Rover, and so our first time using Gizelle. What a great experience. Gizelle was quick to answer when we requested that we needed care for Fenway in just a few days. She was very responsive from start to finish. Photos and videos were shared with us in abundance. Our dog was happy and well cared for the entire stay. We did not worry at all after the first day. We will absolutely use Gizelle again - and recommend her to our friends.”
“John was absolutely fantastic! He took exceptional care of our two German Shepherds while we were away and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands—we will gladly book with him again.”
“Jessica and her family took care of Avery as if she was one of their own. Avery is an anxious girl with limited vision and Jess took extra care to make sure she felt at home. I was a wreck when I dropped Avery off, but felt relieved after the first night. The daily updates were much appreciated and I highly recommend anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Achara was wonderful with our dog. He had a great time running, chasing, and playing with her dogs. Achara was great about sending pictures and updates. We are already planning the next time our dog can stay with her!”
“"I wanted to send a huge thank you for taking such amazing care of my dog! I really appreciate you keeping me updated with pics—it made me feel so much better knowing my furry baby was in good hands. You went above and beyond, and I'm so grateful! I can tell my puppy was in good hands just by me picking her up she still went inside her house and said goodbye with a lick to Tasha and that made me feel comfortable. I will so recommend her and I will be coming back to her soon. Thank you 😊”
“Jessie has become Edward’s home away from home. He’s very comfortable with her and always happy to see her. She’s very observant about changes in his behavior and is very caring and patient with him. He’s so much happier staying with her than in a boarding kennel.”
“Shanna and her husband were great!! Our dogs were happy and very well treated. We love the pictures and videos they sent. We felt really confortable leaving our furbabies with them!! They deserve more than 5 starts!! Thank you Shanna!! Bella and Nina love you!❤❤”
About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.
“We have used Marya a few time for daycare. This is the first time we've had to leave town for a few days and Mochi has ever done boarding. He came home happy and healthy as usual.”

“Melissa took such good care of my kitty Frances! Frances always hides from strangers but came out for Melissa which speaks for itself. Will definitely book again in the future, thank you so much!”
About: Only taking walking or housesitting clients in DIXON, DAVIS, and VACAVILLE! I’ve always had a pet since I was 4 and I love animals. I currently have 3 dogs that I care for and love taking them on walks to parks. When it comes to your pets I will make sure everything they need will be taken care of, and send plenty of pics of them if you’d like! I currently work part-time, and currently looking to expand my streams of income to save up for my own place one day. My schedule is flexible and I will make whatever work! You tell me the fur babies' routine and schedule and that’s what we’re doing as best as I can—regarding my schedule + distance. If they take vitamins/pills in the morning, or 3x a day, just let me know, I’ve done it all! I understand pets can be extra on edge when their parents are away, so keeping things how they’re used to is important to me to help them feel as comfortable as possible.
“Virginia took such great care of our kitty while we were away. She went above and beyond, spending extra time with her and sending photos. I knew our cat was in good hands which gave us peace of mind. Virginia is very conscientious and thoughtful, and I highly recommend her.”
About: From an early age, I lived with cats. Some people aren't "cat people"; I'm the opposite. Whether the shy type or the snuggle muffin, I adore cats. Recently rescued two ferals who are now (6 years later) the sweetest, happiest love bugs. I'll enjoy every moment with your cats. And they'll quickly look forward to my visits. I feel bad for people who aren't cat people. They're missing out!
About: I have had cats my whole entire life! They’re my favorite animal!!! Growing up a lot of the responsibilities of taking care of them were put on me (since I was the one who begged for them haha!!) in the many years since we got them I have groomed my cats regularly, clipping their nails, kept multiple litter boxes very clean, administering medication when my fur babies were sick, learned how to mitigate breakfast/dinner time with kitties who were more territorial about their food, and most importantly, playing with them!!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who recently moved to the area after spending many years working in the medical field. I’m now enjoying being a stay-at-home dog and cat mom and would love to use my extra time to help other pet parents feel confident that their animals are happy, loved, and cared for while they’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals. Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I understand that pets are family, (I currently have one standard poodle, Eevee and one Oriental shorthair cat, Moo) and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. While I was working, we used Rover to come check on our animals daily and it gave us peace of mind. Now I would like to offer that peace to others. I am comfortable with kittens thru senior cats.
“Alyson was great! I knew my cat was in good hands. She took great care of her, even hanging out with her and playing for a while which I know she appreciated since she’s super social. I’ll definitely be using Alyson in the future!”
About: I grew up with cats and kittens and have cared for cats throughout much of my life, including raising kittens and adopting adult cats from shelters. I understand that good cat care often means respecting boundaries rather than demanding interaction. I'm attentive to the individual cat's routine, appetite, litter-box habits, body language and preferred level of interaction. I'm happy to provide affection and play for a social cat or simply offer quiet, reliable care and companionship for a cat who prefers more space. I appreciate how different individual cats can be — from spicy to mellow — and I'll follow your established feeding, play and household routines rather than trying to impose my own.
About: As a lifelong cat owner, I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Some cats love attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and their own space. I take the time to get to know each cat and provide care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll make sure your cat’s food and water are fresh, clean the litter box thoroughly, monitor for any changes in behavior, and spend quality time with them based on their comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys chasing toys, getting chin scratches, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll provide the care they need. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for cats of all personalities. I’m here to offer more than just feeding and litter box checks. I make time for play, affection, and companionship during every visit. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I create a safe, stress-free environment tailored to their comfort and routine.
About: Grew up in an environment surrounded by dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. I am reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of affection to help pets feel at ease. Pet care fits well into my routine. I am completely free on Mondays. I work from home Wednesday and Friday, and am available after 430pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as on all day weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide dependable care, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and follow all instructions provided by the owner. I prioritize safety, maintain a clean environment, ensure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, and attention, and provide updates so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for while away.
“Took the time to go the extra mile and handled the small problems that arose fantastically. Lori's incredibly reliable and will be our first stop for future pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had all kinds of animals growing up. My grandmother even had a drop in home visit pet business for almost 10 years. And I would help a lot of the times. I currently have one cat with me. My other cat was a bit old to travel, so sadly I had to leave her in Oregon. I look forward to meeting future clients!
“After meeting Yuri I felt like my cat is in good hands she is super. We enjoyed our vacation without worrying about our pet she shared photo video so nice to know and I will definitely use her again.”
“Richard does a fantastic job taking care of my puppy! He’s reliable, attentive, and has a great connection with dogs. My puppy is happy and well cared for during her drop-in visits. It gives me peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. I highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter!”

“Sherry & her husband are adorable with the dogs. I will be using them when working on a regualr basis. They are very flexible with my odd work schedule & my pup gets excited when we pull up & goes right in.”
About: I'm a very responsible and fun loving dog mom to my own senior Maltese. Other owners say bringing their dogs to stay with me is like going to Club Med. Looking to spend quality time with my senior dog and other babies as much as I am able to. I would care for your dogs as much as I care for my own. I have a fenced yard and parks in the area. This is a very dog friendly community. Regular potty breaks and walks are the norm for my house.
“Giezell watched our toy poodle for a few hours and provided us with photos and videos throughout stay. We picked up our dog about 20 minutes late and she was very understanding and accommodating. We’ll definitely book Giezell again if we’re ever in the area!”

“From the moment I met Maria, I knew my dog would be in good hands! 🤗 She was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely caring towards my dog. My little dog was very comfortable (as if he was at home) and was treated like a part of her family — which was exactly what I was looking for! I highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future! 🐾”
About: I've been raised with miniature snousers and poodles. Now I raised my kids with multipoos. Dogs are my jam 😀 and I love nothing more than their kisses. I am a stay at home mother that has nothing but time to care for your dog. My dogs are walked in the morning, afternoon and evenings. I have a backyard with a fence that the dogs can go out and get some air. I allow my two dogs to have time in the house while I cook which gives them time to relax and settle in the house.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies who need extra attention, structure, potty training support, and plenty of playtime, as well as senior dogs who require a calmer environment, medication administration, slower walks, and gentle care. I’m attentive to body language, behavior, and individual needs, which helps dogs quickly build trust and feel comfortable with me. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra patience, I provide reliable supervision, lots of affection, consistent communication, and a clean, stress-free environment. My goal is not just to “watch” your pet it’s to give them a positive experience where they feel loved, secure, and excited to come back. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and mainly from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and cuddle time, while also making sure each pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, which helps them feel comfortable, safe, and less anxious while their owners are away. I truly enjoy having animals around and make their care a priority in my everyday life, giving them lots of love, patience, and one on one attention. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Since I work part-time and mainly from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs staying in my home are welcome to roam freely and relax comfortably in the house rather than being confined, helping them feel more at ease and at home during their stay. I can also crate dogs if requested by the owner or if it’s part of the dog’s normal routine for sleeping, feeding, or downtime. I always prioritize safety by carefully monitoring interactions, maintaining a calm environment, and following each dog’s specific care instructions, routines, dietary needs, and comfort levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, stress free, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands.
About: I have been a dog mom longer than a human mom! Dogs have been part of my life for years. I am good with training, schedules, pups to seniors. I walk daily, have a huge yard, and a pool for summer day care. My 2 kids have grown up with dogs in the home and love and them just as much as I do! I work from home and set my own hours, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention! I take a walks everyday and am a frequent flyer at the park. Day care hours: Drop off between 7-8am and pick up between 4-5pm. Additional time will have an added fee. If you need different drop off/pick up times, please let me know when booking! I have a huge fenced yard for getting zoomies out and soaking up sun. Besides daily walks to the park and play, I will make sure your dog is fed, stimulated, and loved.
“Brittany was great. She responds to communication quickly, was very accomodating and took good care of Vinny who trotted off happily with her. She sent a picture and a reassuring message early in the visit. Highly recommend her.”
“My dogs have stayed here several times and they look forward to spending time with Shawna and her husband. My three year old lab gets so excited when we pull up in front of the house. I feel lucky to have a place my dogs can go and feel safe and comfortable when they can't be with me.”
“Abbey got to go for a ride, take a walk, and got the house all to herself! Although she tolerates other dogs, she enjoys being the one and only! Thank you Jason for caring for and watching over our girl.♥️”
“Connie is a gem! Such a nice human with an equally nice family. Treated Cash like her own. Sent lots of updates throughout the day. Her home is warm and welcoming. Her dogs are well behaved and love people and animals. Truly so thankful for Connie and will definitely be booking her in the future. 10000% recommend.”
“Haruka and Daniel were wonderful, and incredibly kind! My dog Sybil had a little trouble with some anxiety after I left and they did a great job keeping her comfortable despite it and keeping me updated. By the time I got there she was right at home and ready to play! We'd definitely love to book again next time!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats with various energy levels and personalities for two decades. With a fenced in yard, and a beautiful shaded walking path next door. As well as plenty of breaks all day long. I mostly work from home so this keeps my pet schedule open to help! I have experience with large and small breeds from Yorkies to Huskies and Giant Schnauzers. On top of that I’m a Tortie mom that is familiar with the Tortitude. Animals make life better 🫶🏻 I work remotely most days so my animals get a lot of play time. We get cabin fever without some exercise. I’m up early, my animals always eat first thing with a small amount of training. Then an energetic play session inside, in the fenced yard, or walk on the shaded neighborhood walking path. The animals get to rest and play on the property or inside while I work or knock out house chores. Lunch comes with another play and potty break and some mental health enrichment for the second half of the day. I wrap up work and prep everyone’s dinner. One more session of play before bed and then lights out for everyone. We usually keep together in the same room unless someone has a preference that day. Talk to me about the needs of your pet and we can build a plan together. I’m not a certified trainer but I’m happy to support the goals of the family by maintaining that standard of care your pet appreciates. I’m very fortunate to have the time and space to support various needs.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who recently moved to the area after spending the last 24 years in Washington state. With all the kids off to college, I’m now enjoying being a stay-at-home dog and cat mom and would love to use my extra time to help other pet parents feel confident that their animals are happy, loved, and cared for while they’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I grew up on a farm surrounded by a variety of animals. Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. After years of working in a busy career, I especially appreciate having the time to slow down and enjoy the companionship of animals. I’d love to help dogs get some exercise, attention, and affection during the day so they aren’t stuck at home alone for hours while their families are at work. In the past we used this service to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were at work. It was so valuable for not only to our animals, but to us Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some playtime and companionship, or you need someone dependable to check in on your pets, I’m happy to help. My background in healthcare has also taught me to be responsible, attentive to details, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’d be happy to meet you and your pets beforehand so we can make sure we’re a great fit! Your pets may be your babies, but I’ll treat them like they’re mine. 🐾❤️ I am currently staying home and staying active with my standard poodle, Eevee and my cat, Moo.

“Shawna is such an amazing dog walker! I am very particular on who is around/handles my dog and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe and happy! It’s such a huge piece of mind knowing that he’s is getting exercise while I’m at work. She always leaves the best reports for me to read after their walks 😊 Thank you Shawna for loving my dog as much as I do!”
About: My experience with animals goes far beyond pet sitting. I began volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center at age 10 and continued through age 16, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology. I’ve also worked in multiple veterinary clinics as a surgical assistant and spent a year working in animal control. These experiences have given me hands-on experience handling animals, recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog needs an active day, extra patience, medication or special care, or simply a safe and comfortable place to relax, I’m committed to providing attentive, knowledgeable care and treating your pet like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care rather than treating it as something I squeeze into a busy schedule. My days can include walks, outdoor time, play, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have time to relax and feel comfortable. I’m intentional about keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their feeding, exercise, and rest schedules. I also enjoy being active outdoors, so dogs who love walks and adventures will have plenty of opportunities to get their energy out! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their stay. My background in wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary clinics, and animal control has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something is out of the ordinary. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and energy levels and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and a calm environment. I also love keeping dogs active with walks, play, enrichment, and outdoor time when appropriate. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same attentiveness and respect I would want for my own. I have my own fenced in yard and a large sized kennel in my home if needed.
About: I have been dog-sitting since I was a child. Anytime my neighbors went out of town, they would ask me to take care of their dogs such as feeding them, playing with them, and taking them outside. One of them was a K-9. Since then I have volunteered at my local animal shelter, and I currently work with children who developmental disabilities such as autism. I’m currently working: Monday 3PM-6PM Tuesday 9AM-1PM, 3PM-6PM Thursday 9AM-1PM, 3PM-6PM Friday 2PM-5PM Saturday 9AM-12PM Any time not listed above is my availability. I have plenty of experience with dogs. I currently don’t have any of my own due to my household not allowing pets, but I grew up dog-sitting for my neighbors and have since volunteered at my local animal shelter.
“Courtney came over to visit our dog a week prior to walking. She’s super friendly, reliable, communicative, and awesome, and we are so excited to have her back to walk him!”
“Meaghan was such a great dog walker. She showed a lot of patience and care with Momo and detailed his activities and behaviors during their walks carefully. She was also always promptly on time even in the weekends and if she was ever running late, she made sure to send a text, keeping us updated. I am so glad to have found Meaghan for Momo!!”

I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I grew up on a farm surrounded by a variety of animals. Caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. After years of working in a busy career, I especially appreciate having the time to slow down and enjoy the companionship of animals. I’d love to help dogs get some exercise, attention, and affection during the day so they aren’t stuck at home alone for hours while their families are at work. In the past we used this service to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were at work. It was so valuable for not only to our animals, but to us Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some playtime and companionship, or you need someone dependable to check in on your pets, I’m happy to help. My background in healthcare has also taught me to be responsible, attentive to details, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’d be happy to meet you and your pets beforehand so we can make sure we’re a great fit! Your pets may be your babies, but I’ll treat them like they’re mine. 🐾❤️ I am currently staying home and staying active with my standard poodle, Eevee and my cat, Moo. I have worked in surgery for close to 30 years and now that I’m home full time, I want to fill my time with things I love and make me happy. I have a fully fenced backyard with a swimming pool. I do have one standard poodle, who is super friendly and obsessed. I do have one cat who is a rescue from a hoarding situation and loves to play with dogs.We have a large home with all kids off to college. Animals sleep with us.
About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.
About: Hi there! I’m Kiet! A passionate and attentive pet caregiver with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable while their humans are away. I’m especially skilled with pets who need a little extra care. Both of my cats require a special medical diet, so I’m very comfortable preparing and following precise feeding instructions. I also have experience with anxious animals, my cat Robin is quite shy and sensitive, so I understand the importance of creating a calm and reassuring environment. Whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, or simply providing companionship, I take the responsibility of pet care seriously. I’ve recently moved back home and currently have open availability! I’m more than happy to take care of your companion for extended period. Thank you! At the moment I am not taking any care from my own home as I share a house with roommates. Thank you for your understanding!
About: I've been raised with miniature snousers and poodles. Now I raised my kids with multipoos. Dogs are my jam 😀 and I love nothing more than their kisses. I am a stay at home mother that has nothing but time to care for your dog. My dogs are walked in the morning, afternoon and evenings. I have a backyard with a fence that the dogs can go out and get some air. I allow my two dogs to have time in the house while I cook which gives them time to relax and settle in the house.
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with dogs in my home. For the past 8 years, I’ve also had a cat who has taught me so much about patience, care, and the unique bond we share with our pets. Between my own pets and caring for friends’ cats and dogs, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, ages, and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life since I’ve always had animals at home. I love starting and ending the day with walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule, I can easily fit in feeding, exercise, and companionship throughout the day, making sure pets feel loved and cared for just like they would with their own family. In my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the routines they’re used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship so they feel at ease. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and exercise when needed, and I’m always careful to keep their environment clean, calm, and stress-free. Every pet is unique, and I make sure to adjust to their needs so they feel cared.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I don’t think there was a year in my life where I did not have a dog to help take care of! I have taken care of small dogs, medium dogs, and big dogs! We also had a lot of other animals while I was growing up. I’ve taken care of birds, fish, reptiles, and even rabbits. So I am happy to take care of other pets as well if you have them and we can talk prices! Depending on the needs of your pets, I will form my schedule around taking care of them! As of right now this is my main job but as soon as I find another job this will become something I do on the side for a passion hobby. I will always start by asking the owner of the pets to explain their needs and wants before implying anything that I would do on my own. (Customer needs and wants come first) I have fun playing with the animals dogs and cats alike. So if they have favorite toys if I am house sitting then I will let them have fun with that! If I am walking dogs I tend to keep a steady pace so that the dogs get good healthy exercise.

“We have used Marya a few time for daycare. This is the first time we've had to leave town for a few days and Mochi has ever done boarding. He came home happy and healthy as usual.”
“They were so accommodating on such short notice. Gave Bodie the quiet space she needed on the final leg of her spay recovery. Received many updates along with photos. I don't think she wanted to leave when it was time to pick her up. Wonderful people and will definitely keep Marie & James in mind for next time. <3”
“Raven was amazing with Golden! He was so happy and comfortable with her, and I could tell she genuinely took great care of him. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely trust Raven with Golden again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“XingYuan is definitely an animal lover. She takes care of your little fur ball as if it were her own. She was very easy to communicate with and sent tons of pictures and videos each day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND XingYuan!!!!!!!”
“Shireen and Adil did a great job. We left our high-energy husky Melo with them for three nights and they kept us updated on how he was doing, including photos. Melo looked happy and healthy when we picked him up.”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats with various energy levels and personalities for two decades. With a fenced in yard, and a beautiful shaded walking path next door. As well as plenty of breaks all day long. I mostly work from home so this keeps my pet schedule open to help! I have experience with large and small breeds from Yorkies to Huskies and Giant Schnauzers. On top of that I’m a Tortie mom that is familiar with the Tortitude. Animals make life better 🫶🏻 I work remotely most days so my animals get a lot of play time. We get cabin fever without some exercise. I’m up early, my animals always eat first thing with a small amount of training. Then an energetic play session inside, in the fenced yard, or walk on the shaded neighborhood walking path. The animals get to rest and play on the property or inside while I work or knock out house chores. Lunch comes with another play and potty break and some mental health enrichment for the second half of the day. I wrap up work and prep everyone’s dinner. One more session of play before bed and then lights out for everyone. We usually keep together in the same room unless someone has a preference that day. Talk to me about the needs of your pet and we can build a plan together. I’m not a certified trainer but I’m happy to support the goals of the family by maintaining that standard of care your pet appreciates. I’m very fortunate to have the time and space to support various needs.
