“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”
“Morgan always does amazing with my malinois puppy! Bella is a ball of energy, but always makes taking care of her look easy! She’s literally the puppy whisperer 🤭 Thanks for everything always 🩷”
“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
About: Always had dogs. Lost my rescue dog at 19 years. Sit/board a separation anxiety prone dog. Worked at a small animal hospital for 3 years. I am retired, so very flexible with most hours and days. I am open to overnight stays with a cat friendly dog. And I like having a dog sleep with me. Large fenced back yard. I enjoy walking dogs; no dogs running loose in my neighborhood. Very careful if I go out the front door. Have two indoor cats but they ignore the dog that occasionally boards with me.
“I always feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with Raeana. She does a great job taking care of my pets. I highly recommend her and always will go back to her when I need her services.”
“Tracey is awesome! She took great care of my dog, kept me posted and sent me pictures. Chloe had great time at Tracey’s place, got a lot of love from her and her amazing family. I’ll always leave Chloe with Tracey when I go out to town.”
About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.
About: I’ve always loved animals and wanted to get involved with them in any way via Animal Shelters, Vet schools, externships at Veterinarian clinics, sitting for friends and family, and now here😊 this is a great step for me to continue to get acquainted with the furry friends in our community and further expand my experience and knowledge on each and every pet baby out there because as a fellow pet parent I would want my baby in the best hands as well❤️ I’m home all week and not only have the space and time but as well as the joy of caring for a new furry friend! At home my doggo sleeps in my room and plays in the yard most of the day, she has a crate in the garage where she has access to for naps throughout the day and gets fed once in the morning and before bed an hour after her daily evening walk. Depending on what the owner’s needs are for their pets I can easily adjust my routine or schedule to better match their furry babies👍🏽 We’re very flexible with our routines and schedules and love to switch things up!😊
“Definitely 💯 recommend Mr. Kyle. He is awesome 👏. He paid attention to detail and everything we asked and said. He played with our Millie and took our her on walks. He treated her like she was his own. Which we loved.We will definitely use his services again and will recommend him. Thank you 😊 Kyle”
“Kristin and Javier took such amazing care of our pup Peter Barker. He absolutely loved Watson and every minute of his time on his vacation. They were great to send us lots of updates and adorable photos. We truly were scared to leave Peter but knew he was in great hands. I would highly recommend them for any sitting needs. We will definitely use them again!”
About: Throughout high school and college, I often helped out friends and neighbors by dog sitting when they couldn't take their pets on trips. I’m a huge dog lover, and I really adore all kinds of pets. Over the years, I've earned the complete trust of my friends and neighbors when it comes to looking after their pets and homes. They know they can count on me to provide loving care and ensure everything is safe and sound while they're away. I am currently working at a mental health facility. I work 3:00 pm Sun-Wed. Although I am full time I am always happy to lean a hand. Free on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays as well. I am also willing to Sundays off! I was born and raised in the Central Valley. Growing up on a farm made me exposed to many animals and I grew immense love for them. I had a wonderful time taking care of my beloved pets: a Labrador, German Shepherd, Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua. They were all my babies, and I also had a horse that I adored. I'm a huge animal lover, and I miss them every day now that they are living with my older sister.
“My dog Carmel absolutely loves Amy. He is always well cared for and happy when I return for him. We will be using Amy again soon, and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, fun place for their small dogs while you're away. I always get at least one picture a day and she responds quickly.”

About: I’ve had cats as pets since I was about five years old. I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to their behaviors, mood, and needs. I’ve had kittens to senior cats in my life. Cats are very special to me, I have a Maine coon and a Bengal currently that are my babies.
About: I live on a larger property outside Turlock and have always had pets and livestock including dogs, cats, goats, alpaca, and rabbits.

About: I’ve been a cat owner for over 8 years and currently share my home with my two cats, Suki and Remy, who keep me well-trained in the art of feline care. Between the two of them, I’ve learned that every cat has their own personality, preferences, and daily routine. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and giving cats the patience and space they deserve while helping them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers to observe from a safe distance, I’ll make sure they’re cared for according to their needs. As someone who regularly trusts others to care for my own cats when I travel, I understand how important communication is. I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is in good hands.
About: Always have animals in my life from a chinchilla, Netherland dwarf rabbits, dogs, and cats. Caring for and loving animals has always been my passion. I’m transitioning from having my dog walk with me every day helping me get my 10,000 steps a day to now doing it alone. I miss the companionship of a walking buddy. I’m obviously not ready to get a new dog. But I would be honored to walk your dog. My late afternoon are perfect taking your dog out for a a midday stroll. During softball season I work on the weekends but I may have weekends open up or I can take them early in the morning and in late afternoon if that’s something you would prefer. I would touch base with you on any special requirements that are needed to take care of your fur baby. Whether that be medication, sleep schedule, feeding schedule or just corky things are fur baby enjoys I will be happy to do.
About: I grew up in a house full of animals and have been caring for dogs and cats ever since. I understand how stressful it is to leave your pet with someone new, so I make it my priority to follow their routines and keep them comfortable. My experience includes: - Senior pets who need slower-paced care and extra attention - Puppies and younger dogs who need training reinforcement and boundaries - Shy or anxious pets who take time to warm up - Cats with specific feeding schedules, litter preferences, or medical needs - Multi-pet households where each animal has different requirements I take this work seriously because I know what your pet means to you. When you book with me, you're not getting someone who's just going through the motions. You're getting someone who will care for your dog or cat the way they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm home most of the day. That gives me time to: - Take dogs on multiple walks or play sessions throughout the day - Keep cats on their normal feeding and playtime routines - Stay present for pets who need companionship or have separation anxiety I can adjust my availability based on your needs, whether that's overnight stays, drop-in visits, or regular walking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home: - I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walk routes, medication schedules, bedtime habits - I keep doors and gates secure, especially with escape-prone cats or anxious dogs - I send updates and photos so you know how things are going - I treat your home with respect and leave it the way I found it In my home: - Clean, pet-friendly space with secure doors and windows - Separate areas for pets who need their own space (especially important for cats) - Comfortable sleeping areas, fresh water, and plenty of playtime or downtime based on what they prefer When you trust me with your pet, I take that seriously. They get the same care, consistency, and attention I'd give my own. No exceptions.
About: Hello! I'm Jon, and I've been a dog owner since childhood. I've also been a competitive utility dog sport trainer for the last 10 years. Experience includes training in scent work, competitive sport, dock diving, obedience, environmental conditioning, and more. Visitors are integrated into the typical routines, where safe & appropriate to do so. I can easily modify schedules to accommodate additional needs such as medications or special diets. The home is on a half acre of fenced property. Your dog will receive their attention and enrichment in a safe environment. To this end, I have instituted the following guidelines for the safety of both clients and our personal dogs: Your dog(s) will be out on a 1-on-1 basis. If determined that your dog is stable, and has a play style that meshes well with one of our personal (and stable) dogs, they may have play time with those dogs (with your permission) only. I utilize a structured, positive/neutral introduction and do not force any interactions. I also require all visitors to be crate trained. Some visiting dogs are fearful or simply do not wish to interact with other dogs, and I provide them with the opportunity to be free from such interactions. We do accept dogs that are not crate trained, with a special care fee, which covers extra time to work with your dog to have a positive experience with crate time.

“Chichi had a drop-in visit with my dog in anticipation of walking him daily for a couple of weeks. I was impressed by her experience with reactive dogs. She was not at all put off by my dog's fearful reaction to a new person and I am happy to have found someone who understands dog psychology.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. From fish, rats, rabbits, cats, and dogs of all sizes... Mini dachshunds to an English Mastiff. I have also put quite a bit of time into training my labs, whom are my babies! I currently just resigned from my full time job to be home more and continue working my part time job from home, so my availability is pretty open. Pet care for my own animals is always a priority in my house, my girls are spoiled. I will always treats others animals with the same care, as they too are someone else's babies.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was a baby. I have two chihuahuas that are 10 and 11 years old. I’ve had them since they were 8 weeks old and they are my babies. They are so spoiled and loved and my whole world. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my step daughter. We usually have her Wednesday-Thursday, Friday-Monday. My day depends on what I have scheduled, it’s very fluid and open. I start my day by scooping the cat litter box, letting my dogs outside to potty, taking care of and feeding my beta fish, opening windows and watering plants, and then making meals for my two cats and two dogs. Our step daughter loves animals and loves to help care for ours. I am at home majority of my day and spend a lot of time with my animals. I walk my two dogs everyday and make them meals. I brush my two cats everyday and give them enrichment activities. I spend the day cuddling with my dogs too. At my clients home, I would follow the directions provided to me as well as using my own discretion when necessary to provide the ultimate care. Your pets will be treated and loved like they are my own.
About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. It’s always been a passion of mine to take care of animals. I have dreamed of working with animals since I was young. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am experienced in providing oral medications for dogs as well. Many friends and family members have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and take care of their pets. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available everyday of the week to walk, (I have two kids, so if the pups are kids friendly, I can bring my kids. If not kid friendly, I am available at 6pm or anytime after). I am available to dog sit (daily care or overnight) Friday-Mondays as of right now. My listing states I need two days in advance for a booking, but I understand sometimes things come up that we do not expect and people need services last minute. Please do not ever hesitate to reach out. Safety is my number one priority. We live on two and a half acres and have a lot of room for animals to play and explore. I do not leave my dogs unattended outside and I would not leave your dog alone outside either. I am very cautious with my dogs and I would give the same attention and cautiousness to any dogs under my watch as well. I always leash the dogs I care for when I take them outside, whether that’s to go for walks or just to go potty. I have plenty of toys and I always monitor my dogs when they play with them. I dispose of any toys that they tear into to make sure they do not ingest any parts of the toy. I have many dog beds and room inside for dogs to run and play. I do not mind animals on my furniture, I prefer them to be with me. My hallway is gated off as well, in case your dog has a special diet and needs to be fed separately. I also use this area for dogs to sleep at night if they are not crate trained. I tend to do separate feedings anyways just to be safe. My dogs are like my children and they get treated that way. I would do the same for my clients pets as well. The difference between taking your fur babies to a kennel and me is that I am home almost all day long, meaning your babies will get constant love and attention. Most kennels charge additionally for walks, one on one play time, and even group play. I spend time with my dogs (and those I care for), majority of everyday, until the late hours at night. I have two babies, my son is over a year old and my daughter is 8 months old. I do not leave them unattended with any dogs, not even my own. I do ask for you to let me know if your dogs are kid friendly. Even for dogs that are kid friendly, I am still extra cautious around children. It is better to be safe than sorry. This being said, that does not mean I will not give your fur babies the care and attention they need. I still do with my three fur babies everyday.

About: I have always been told I'm naturally great with any animal. I have experience working in a boarding facility/daycare with dogs, and cats for a little over two years.

I am also flexible and am willing to work other times as well. Always making sure to watch body language, keep wherever it is I am pet-sitting very clean. I always pick up after myself and the pets.

I have a huge backyard where it can exercise and a near by park is less than 5 minutes away. I am willing to pick up if you are near my location. I can assure you your dog will be well taken care of. Also, if your dog is not dog friendly I can make arrangements. I have a big front yard where you dogs can exercise and active- it is not fenced, however your dog will never be unattended.. Please let me know if that is a problem. There is always someone home. Either my husband or my self. We have opposite schedules, so your fur baby will never be alone in the house. I have an unfenced yard with plenty of land. We have built an outdoor kennel to keep them of they a are not trained to be off the leash.
About: I have been pet sitting for over four years, caring for both cats and dogs. I started with cats, managing their litter boxes, feeding them, and providing companionship. As I gained experience, I transitioned to dog sitting, where I handled walking, feeding, and grooming. I also go the extra mile by watering plants and bringing in the mail for owners. My family, friends, and clients have consistently trusted me with their homes, personal belongings, and, most importantly, their pets. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and they naturally seem to gravitate toward me. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, and respectful pet sitter, I am the right choice for you. I don’t have a set schedule but I plan on taking care of amazing animals every week. I am available when needed and make adjustments easily. Your animals are in great hands 😁 I completely understand how important it is to feel confident and secure when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Rest assured, I take the responsibility of caring for your animals very seriously. With over four years of experience in pet sitting, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with my clients, and their pets have always been my top priority. I will ensure that your pets are safe, happy, and comfortable in a loving environment.

I also respect your home and personal belongings, so you can be confident knowing everything will be in good hands. Please feel free to reach out with any specific needs or concerns you may have.

About: Since an early age, I’ve helped my family provide care to our numerous dogs and cats. With experience with the Monks of New Skete, NY, and their world-renowned breeding and training programs, I bring a unique perspective to the world of pet care.

“Paovanary was super helpful ! My dog shepherd has extreme anxiety to people and she made him very comfortable very fast , something we have trouble with at home with company . She did a fantastic job at medicating him and was able to get shepherd to open up to the rest of her family ! we had to make a last minute reservation for a pet sitter and she was very quick and convenient, thank you Paovanary so so much !”
About: I’m an animal lover, my family has always had pets in the house, and we were taught at a young age how dogs communicate and that it takes respect and great care to earn a dogs trust. I've helped raise two family dogs before I left to college, and once the pandemic started and school went virtual my girlfriend and I adopted our very first dog of our own- a six month old Siberian husky named Kaiya. Kaiya is now one year and seven months old and enjoys exercising with me and socializes very well with other dogs. Pet care fits very well into my weekly routine. Since I'm a full-time student and currently on summer break, I will be 100% available to cater to whatever your pet may need! My dog Kaiya loves to play and get exercise, its the foundation of her breed to work hard and get rewarded doing so. Some of our favorite exercise includes walking, jogging, tug of war, and her favorite, longboarding! Kai and I longboard in the mornings before the heat comes in, she usually wakes up anywhere around 6:45-8 to let me know she needs to relive herself outside and we go then if its not too hot. We also like to frequent the new dog park here in Los Banos. My home is fenced and has a gate in front of the driveway that keeps larger dogs from getting out. No need to worry because there is a suitable backyard with a secured fence that keeps the medium to small breeds from getting out. There are two main sections inside the house where the dogs play; the main room which is a Livingroom/kitchen combo, and the garage that has been converted to another living space that I call the workroom. The workroom is air conditioned and insulated so it keeps cool and shares a door with the main room. Kaiya likes to hang out usually where I am and I'm most often in the workroom but when she needs her space I'll find her on the dog-allowed couch in the living room. Food and water bowls stay in the living room while treats are given anywhere a good boy or girl is to be found :)
About: I’ve trained puppies, cared for senior dogs, and was professionally trained to groom dogs and provided care to dogs of all shapes and sizes for five years! I’m currently working remote for a medical company, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet plenty of quality time, attention, and care! I live in a very dog-proofed, 2 bedroom apartment complex with lots of playing room. I’m located right next to a large park and a couple feet away from a gated dog park!
About: I have taken care of my siblings dogs when they didn’t have time to when I was younger. Then around 15 my uncle had these dogs that would always make baby’s and he would give away so I would always come over and take care of the litter. I am mainly busy Thursday- Sunday. I am cutting hair starting up my clientele and I get the busiest during these days due to high demand for the weekend outings. I simply try and get them accustom to my smell and energy around them. I keep it calm and simple, some dogs are easier to win over than others. I’ll just let the natural trusting process take its course and slowly catch a bond !
“Jina made me and rocky feel comfortable from the start. Even though he was a little hesitant at first he warmed up with her my the time I was heading out from dropping him off. She kept me updated and sent pictures of him. She also responded fast to my messages when I’d text her. Jina took very good care of rocky we would definitely book again!”

Please do not ever hesitate to reach out. Safety is my number one priority. We live on two and a half acres and have a lot of room for animals to play and explore. I do not leave my dogs unattended outside and I would not leave your dog alone outside either. I am very cautious with my dogs and I would give the same attention and cautiousness to any dogs under my watch as well. I always leash the dogs I care for when I take them outside, whether that’s to go for walks or just to go potty. I have plenty of toys and I always monitor my dogs when they play with them. I dispose of any toys that they tear into to make sure they do not ingest any parts of the toy. I have many dog beds and room inside for dogs to run and play. I do not mind animals on my furniture, I prefer them to be with me. My hallway is gated off as well, in case your dog has a special diet and needs to be fed separately. I also use this area for dogs to sleep at night if they are not crate trained. I tend to do separate feedings anyways just to be safe. My dogs are like my children and they get treated that way. I would do the same for my clients pets as well. The difference between taking your fur babies to a kennel and me is that I am home almost all day long, meaning your babies will get constant love and attention. Most kennels charge additionally for walks, one on one play time, and even group play. I spend time with my dogs (and those I care for), majority of everyday, until the late hours at night. I have two babies, my son is over a year old and my daughter is 8 months old. I do not leave them unattended with any dogs, not even my own. I do ask for you to let me know if your dogs are kid friendly. Even for dogs that are kid friendly, I am still extra cautious around children. It is better to be safe than sorry. This being said, that does not mean I will not give your fur babies the care and attention they need. I still do with my three fur babies everyday.
About: I have raised multiple animals of my own, including dogs and cats, and have previous experience caring for other's pets (overnight stays, walking, etc). I studied for my animal science degree at UC Davis and I’m looking to gain experience with different breeds that I am less familiar with. I have the most experience with medium-large breeds of dogs as that's what my family has owned, but I have no preferences for or against any breeds. I have a genuine passion for the wellbeing of all animals and I love every dog I meet, including low to high energy, small to large, puppy to senior, and everything in between. I currently have a full-time job Monday-Friday from early morning to early afternoon but I am available for afternoon visits and overnights if your animals are okay with being alone during the day! I have a deep understanding of different dog temperaments and behaviors that allows me to care for each of their individual needs. I have experience from newborn puppies to senior dogs that need a bit more care and I’m willing to adapt to their needs.

About: Hello! I'm Jon, and I've been a dog owner since childhood. I've also been a competitive utility dog sport trainer for the last 10 years. Experience includes training in scent work, competitive sport, dock diving, obedience, environmental conditioning, and more. Visitors are integrated into the typical routines, where safe & appropriate to do so. I can easily modify schedules to accommodate additional needs such as medications or special diets. The home is on a half acre of fenced property. Your dog will receive their attention and enrichment in a safe environment. To this end, I have instituted the following guidelines for the safety of both clients and our personal dogs: Your dog(s) will be out on a 1-on-1 basis. If determined that your dog is stable, and has a play style that meshes well with one of our personal (and stable) dogs, they may have play time with those dogs (with your permission) only. I utilize a structured, positive/neutral introduction and do not force any interactions. I also require all visitors to be crate trained. Some visiting dogs are fearful or simply do not wish to interact with other dogs, and I provide them with the opportunity to be free from such interactions. We do accept dogs that are not crate trained, with a special care fee, which covers extra time to work with your dog to have a positive experience with crate time.

“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”

At home my doggo sleeps in my room and plays in the yard most of the day, she has a crate in the garage where she has access to for naps throughout the day and gets fed once in the morning and before bed an hour after her daily evening walk. Depending on what the owner’s needs are for their pets I can easily adjust my routine or schedule to better match their furry babies👍🏽 We’re very flexible with our routines and schedules and love to switch things up!😊

I’m offering pet sitting services for anyone who needs help for a few days each week, weekends, or even longer stays while you’re away.

“Paovanary took amazing care of our dogs! She took them on walks and sent plenty of pictures and updates. She was very communicative and flexible with us when our schedule changed for drop-off and pick-up. I would highly recommend her!”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life with some that are from friends or family. I give what the pet need to feel loved, safe, fed, comfortable. I love pet sitting young to senior dogs. The pet care would fit in daily in my routine from when I wake up to when I go to sleep so like 24 hours. I make pets feel safe by doing things to make them feel safe protecting them from harm way, getting them to trust me to help them when they need it.
“Josie took great care of Misha! Our meet up before this booking confirmed that her dog Nala and my dog Misha would be able to get along. I appreciated the updates and the new discovery that Misha is ok around cats. Also, it looked like Misha played sooo much and got a lot of attention, that a soon as we got home after pick up, Misha quickly fell asleep lol. Thank you for everything!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was just 2 years old, making pet care second nature to me. Over a lifetime of ownership, I have raised everything from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, a hamster, and a chameleon. My hands-on experience also includes years of fostering cats and dogs, as well as taking in strays and nursing them back to health. This diverse background has made me highly adaptable to different behaviors, medical needs, and pet personalities. I am an incredibly compassionate, loving person dedicated to a future of helping animals, and I will treat your pets with the exact same deep care and devotion I give my own. Pet care is my absolute top priority, and because I am completely free all the time, I can fully devote 100% of my attention to your pet. My highly flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day and week for consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your pet will never feel lonely, as I am always around to keep them company, maintain their exact daily routines, and ensure they get the dedicated love they deserve I build deep trust with animals by treating them like family and giving them a spoiled, loving environment where they can thrive. My home features a fully fenced yard where pets can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Pets naturally bond with me; my childhood dog used to sleep right above my head and sit at my feet whenever I was at my desk. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I maintain this exact level of safety, deep devotion, and respect. I strictly follow your specific safety rules, keep environments clean, and will send you frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.
