About: I’ve been taking care of pets as a job since I was 10. However, I have grown up from birth around many different animals in my household. Ranging from dogs to turtles, I’ve had it all! I am a college student looking for any work I can get! I currently have a very open, flexible schedule and am willing to work around yours too! Growing up around pets my whole life, I have many tricks and solutions to get dogs to listen in order to assure their safety with me.

“She was absolutely amazing with my pup! She followed his routine, gave plenty of playtime and attention, and sent me lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciated.

About: Hi! We’re Brittany and Chris, and we’ve been dog people our entire lives. We know that leaving your pup with someone else can be a big leap of trust — they’re family, after all! Our goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels right at home with us. We’ve both grown up with dogs and most recently had the joy of caring for our beloved Border Collie, Charley, through his senior years. We understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and we’re happy to follow whatever helps your pup feel comfortable and cared for. Our home is clean, cozy, and very dog-friendly. We’re big fans of couch cuddles, playtime, and having a pup happily hanging out alongside us. If your dog thinks the best place in the house is curled up on the couch or snuggled in bed with their people, they’ll fit right in here! We have a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, but your pup will never be left outside unsupervised. We’re also within walking distance of beautiful Bidwell Park, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, exploring, and fresh air. I work from home, which means your dog will have lots of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. We’ll give your pup plenty of love, attention, playtime, and, of course, as many cuddles as they’re willing to accept. We’d love to get to know you and your four-legged family member and make their stay with us feel like a home away from home! Brittany works from home and has a very flexible schedule so can spend all day with your dog. We are happy to modify our daily routines to accommodate your dogs's normal walking and feeding schedule so they feel right at home. We can also accommodate last minute bookings. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard where your dog can enjoy outdoor time, but we will always supervise them while they’re outside. Inside, they’re welcome to make themselves completely at home — including cuddling up on the couch or sleeping on the bed with us. We only host one family’s dogs at a time, so your pup gets our full attention without having to share our home with unfamiliar dogs. We also do not have children, creating a calm and comfortable environment where your dog can settle in and feel at ease. We’ll follow your pup’s routines, preferences, and house rules as closely as possible so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay.
About: I had my own cat named Jesse for 16 years. He was the love of my life. My best friend, child and ruled the home. I work as a caregiver part time so I make my own schedule. I am home most of the time available to give loving attention. I live in a very pet friendly community with a large courtyard. Many dogs and cats live here. California Park Lake is across the street.
“Forrest took excellent care of our 15-year-old large dog, Zeke, while we were away. He communicated clearly and promptly throughout Zeke’s stay, sending regular updates and pictures that gave us great peace of mind. Because Zeke was unable to make it up the stairs at Forrest’s house, Forrest thoughtfully adjusted his own sleeping arrangements and stayed near Zeke until he was comfortable and settled. We really appreciated the extra care and attention he showed our senior dog. Forrest also took Zeke on walks and was very attentive to his senior pace and needs. When we picked him up, Zeke seemed calm, content, and well cared for, which says a lot. We would absolutely trust Forrest with Zeke again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable, and communicative pet sitter.”
About: If I am watching your pet for more than a day, I will absolutely crochet them a fun hat or accessory! I’ve always been comfortable around animals and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m patient, attentive, and good at picking up on an animal’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m reliable with schedules and details, so feeding times, medications, walks, check-ins, and special instructions are taken seriously. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets who are energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or just very particular about how they like things done. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and low-stress as possible and make sure they feel safe, cared for. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience with both oral and injectable medications. I’m attentive to dosing instructions, timing, and making the process as calm and low-stress as possible. I’m also genuinely excited about dog walking. I’m working on being more active myself, so your dog gets a reliable walking buddy and I get an enthusiastic accountability partner. I’m happy to adjust the pace and length to your dog’s age, energy level, and usual routine—whether that means a relaxed sniff-heavy stroll or a longer, more active walk. I work a consistent full-time schedule, with quite a bit of flexibility throughout the day. It makes it easy for me to plan pet care reliably throughout and around my work hours. My work hours are 6:00am-2:30 pm Tuesday - Saturday. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other care, and I’m happy to coordinate a routine that works well for both you and your pet. I value consistency and punctuality, especially when pets are used to a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule I live in a pet-friendly apartment near lots of walking trails. I currently don’t have any pets in the home(unless you count a shrimp 🦐) I take pet care instructions seriously and always try to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and low stress as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, behavior, doors and gates, leash safety, and anything else you want handled a particular way. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s boundaries, and I won’t force interaction with a nervous or shy animal. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during visits so you know how things are going.
About: I volunteered at Haven Humane Society in Redding for three years, where I gained a lot of experience caring for both cats and dogs. While I was there, I helped clean and sanitize their areas, walked dogs, and spent time socializing with the cats. In my personal life, I have a kitty who is my pride and joy! He does well with other animals and has definitely made my love for animals even stronger. I also had a dog who recently passed away. I had her since she was a puppy and helped train and care for her throughout her life, so I’m very familiar with the puppy world and all the patience and attention that comes with it! I’ve always loved animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets. I would treat every pet I care for like they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a student at Butte College, so my schedule gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your furry friends! I usually have classes in the mornings, so most afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to work with you and your pet’s normal routine! I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pets, so I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. For boarding, I’ll make sure your pet has a comfortable and safe space in my home, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I do have a cat of my own who does well with other animals, so I will always make sure everyone is introduced safely and is comfortable around each other. For dog walking, I’ll make sure your dog is secure on their leash and follow any instructions you have for their walks. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your pet’s normal routine, and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates while your pet is with me because I know how nice it is to know your furry friend is safe and being taken care of!
“Lynette was nothing less than fantastic. Scout was happily exhausted and seems to have made some new friends. Lynette sent frequent updates and let us share in the fun with pictures.”
“I had such a great experience with Tiffany and her family! This was my first time leaving George with someone unknown, and Tiffany made it so easy for me. Such a lovely family and so kind and loving to George. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Tylyn did a great job!!! While on vacation my daughter s visited my home and unfortunately Rascal my indoor only cat got out of the house. Tylyn informed me and explained the steps she had already taken to attempt to catch Rascal, even thinking of things I had not thought of. She visited my house twice a day even though she was only supposed to visit once she made every effort possible to help with the return of Rascal. Tylyn is personable and I feel that she truly loves the pets she cares for. I have used Tylyn in the past and I will definitely use her in the future and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a loving, capable and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Allie B. was great. She was very communicative and made sure that my cat Walter, who has separation anxiety, got enough attention. She also went out of her way to make sure that I didn't come home to a mess from my cat. I will definitely be contacting her in the future for further help.”

I also have no problem cleaning up messes they may have. I will give lots of pets, cuddles, playtime, attention, and walks when needed. If your baby likes to sit outside but needs supervision, I'll sit outside with them. If your baby likes to lie down all day, I'll read to them. I can adapt to your furbaby's needs.

About: If I am watching your pet for more than a day, I will absolutely crochet them a fun hat or accessory!

I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and care routines, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and administering medications both orally and by injection. I volunteered at Belleglen Sanctuary and cared for cats with high support needs and am familiar with the care they require. I try to let cats set the pace with interaction rather than forcing attention, especially with nervous or unfamiliar cats. I’m happy to spend time playing, giving affection, or simply keeping them company depending on what they’re most comfortable with. I can also send photos and updates during visits so you know how your cat is doing.

About: I’ve grown up my whole life loving my pets. I grew up on a mini farm so I love all animals as big as a horse and as small as a bunny.

About: I have worked with all types of animals, breeds and personality types. I’ve done dog walking/pet sitting for about 6 years and absolutely adore it! I am comfortable with any special needs or unique temperaments. (Most of my experience has been off this app, hence my lack of reviews… I am more than happy to provide references individually!) I’m currently available anytime during the day or night, weekdays and weekends. I can do overnights as well. As long as we plan ahead all should be good! I have a lot of time to stay with the pets in their own home so they will have lots of stimulation and attention!

About: I’m a dedicated Vet Tech student with strong animal care skills, offering patient puppy support, gentle senior care, and personalized attention to keep every pet safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: While I don’t have cats of my own, I regularly take care of my mom’s cat when she’s out of town.

“Tylyn was so amazing. She was so accommodating to us when we had poor planning and ended up being back later than we thought. Our puppy had the best time and we got the cutest pictures of him throughout the day! We would love to have our puppy back with her!”
“Kena and her family are amazing! They were very welcoming and easy to communicate with. She sent photos, kept us posted and provided a safe environment. Our dog was struggling this being his first stay away and she was patient, caring and forgiving of our Pugs less than perfect behavior and issues. We actually learned a lot about our dog because of this experience and are so grateful for Kena's kindness through it all. We would recommend her services 100x's over. 😊❤️”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I recently graduated from Chico state and currently have two dogs of my own a 6 year old toy poodle and a 5 months old border collie mix. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog or cat with someone else. That’s why I do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get cuddles, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work part time at Bath & Body Works and usually only have 2–3 shifts a week, so my schedule is very flexible. When I’m not working, I’m home spending time with my own dogs. This allows me to be available for different drop-off and pick-up times and gives me plenty of time to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like they’re one of my own. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets get lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal routine and help them feel right at home.
“Jessica was great! She took our dog in last minute for the day and sent us updates throughout the time. The backyard was huge and had plenty of space for the dog to run and sniff.”
“Holly has been an amazing sitter for our Goldendoodle. Our dog tends to be high-strung but she is totally relaxed with Holly and enjoys going on walks. It didn't take our dog long to feel comfortable with Holly. We are really happy with her service.”
“Kassandra did a great job taking care of my pup. She responded quick to my request and was there to meet me when I dropped my dog off. She had a Mello dog and a nice backyard for my girl to hang out in. Would definitely consider booking with her again!”
“Went out of his way to accommodate me on short notice Absolutely wonderful experience, did a great job making my very nervous doggy comfortable Friendly, professional, and a great person overall.”
About: I have experience caring for many dogs for friends family and neighbors. I often would care for my neighbors dog since he was a puppy, parents worked full time and puppies need all the attention they can get so I helped train him. I also trained my own puppy Melo, he’s still growing and learning but I love being his mom. I take extra care of his supplements and nutrition so I know the importance of taking the extra time to do all of that. I have a verry good schedule with being home, I have two dogs of my own iam always coming home at lunch whenever I work. My husband also has a great schedule and helps me out whenever iam not here . When boarding with me I’ll have my dogs stay under my moms care while I pay full attention to your critter. I live in a house with a huge yard they can run around. I am also close enough to bidwell park to go on walks if you’d like that!
About: I bring a lifetime of animal care experience to every pup I watch. From leading 4H swine projects to raising multiple dogs at a time, animals have always been part of my daily life. I have taken several animal care courses and have an EMT background, so I am confident handling everything from routine needs to unexpected situations. I also specialize in leash training and love working with both energetic puppies and gentle seniors. My friends laugh that I would make a great dog photographer because I cannot resist capturing their personalities and quirks. More than anything, I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you are away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I enjoy starting mornings with walks, building in play sessions in the afternoon, and winding down with cuddle time in the evenings. Whether it is a quick walk, training time, or just hanging out together, I love making sure each dog feels included in the rhythm of my day. When dogs stay with me for boarding or overnight care, they become part of my household. They get a comfortable place to rest, plenty of playtime, and regular walks built into the day. I make sure their routines are followed as closely as possible so they feel at home, whether that means a favorite toy at bedtime or a certain feeding schedule. For daily walks or playtime day dates, I focus on keeping them active, engaged, and safe. Walks include leash training reinforcement if needed, and playtime is all about burning off energy in a fun, positive way. I know how important this care is because I have been on the other end of the service myself. That experience drives me to give every pet loving attention, a safe environment, and peace of mind for their people while they are away.
“Danielle took good care of my dog who has separation anxiety and does not like other dogs. She was very considerate of my dogs needs and my wonky schedule. Thank you for taking care of my pup”
“Bentley had the absolute best time with Deena. It could not have been more perfect. He played all day and came home a happy and tired pup. Deena and her husband clearly love animals and are excellent caregivers. Deena even sent us off with extra treats--some lovely squash and plums from her garden. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy.”
“This was such a positive experience. We’ve always taken Ajax to daycare but never left him with a family. We had a family emergency come up and Mitchell was so helpful and obliging! She sent us pictures as well as an update and Ajax came home happy!! We’ve already booked her for next week. We would absolutely recommend her!”

“Autumn was great!!! She came and met my dog before the doggy day care stay. She made sure my dog was comfortable with her and followed all my instructions. My dog got along well with Bruno, Autumn’s dog. Bruno is very friendly. She took videos of them playing and sent me regular photo updates,which I really appreciated. I will continue working with Autumn for doggy day care! Thank you!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science (Pre-Vet) at Chico State and am a Certified Veterinary Assistant, which has given me hands-on experience in proper animal handling, behavior, and care. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats extensively, including volunteering at animal and cat shelters. As a pet owner myself, I understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. I’m also involved in Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I help train dogs; building strong skills in patience, consistency, and communication. Most importantly, I care not only about your pets but about your peace of mind. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own cat with a consistent feeding schedule, fresh water, enrichment, and medication when needed. I also regularly work with livestock, keeping me active in hands-on animal care. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, and I take care to remove any potential hazards. I closely follow each pet parent’s instructions, including feeding routines, medications, and any specific care needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel safe and stress-free. I also carry basic animal first aid supplies and am prepared to respond calmly in case of emergencies. Building trust with pet parents is just as important to me as caring for their pets. I provide updates, communicate clearly, and aim to give helpful feedback when needed. My goal is for you to feel completely confident while you’re away and to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet.
About: I’ve grown up with many cats and different types of dog's. I had a dog that was 19 years old and have been self training my current dog since I got him. Im currently a student at Chico State so I have plenty of time after classes and school. I have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets after 2pm on most weekdays. I make sure there’s no way to escape or places that can hurt your pet if it gets in those places. I would make sure to be attentive and make sure I know what they’re up to.
About: I volunteered at Haven Humane Society in Redding for three years, where I gained a lot of experience caring for both cats and dogs. While I was there, I helped clean and sanitize their areas, walked dogs, and spent time socializing with the cats. In my personal life, I have a kitty who is my pride and joy! He does well with other animals and has definitely made my love for animals even stronger. I also had a dog who recently passed away. I had her since she was a puppy and helped train and care for her throughout her life, so I’m very familiar with the puppy world and all the patience and attention that comes with it! I’ve always loved animals and know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets. I would treat every pet I care for like they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently a student at Butte College, so my schedule gives me plenty of time to care for and spend time with your furry friends! I usually have classes in the mornings, so most afternoons and evenings are free. This gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and making sure your pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to work with you and your pet’s normal routine! I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pets, so I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. For boarding, I’ll make sure your pet has a comfortable and safe space in my home, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I do have a cat of my own who does well with other animals, so I will always make sure everyone is introduced safely and is comfortable around each other. For dog walking, I’ll make sure your dog is secure on their leash and follow any instructions you have for their walks. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your pet’s normal routine, and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates while your pet is with me because I know how nice it is to know your furry friend is safe and being taken care of!
About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.
About: I have 2 dogs and have had pets my whole life. I am willing to work with any and all of your favorite furry (or not furry) family and treat them exactly as you would I am free most afternoons and weekends, and am often free for midday check ins as well. I am a student at Chico state and a substitute teacher. I am always willing and excited to spend time with your furry family, and will follow directions exactly. I am confident giving medications, and making your pet feel as comfortable as I can until you come home.
About: I’m a dedicated Vet Tech student with strong animal care skills, offering patient puppy support, gentle senior care, and personalized attention to keep every pet safe, comfortable, and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m available after 2:15 PM on weekdays (and after 5 PM on Mondays). I can only board overnight on weekends, which allows me to give pets my full attention and keep their routines consistent. I live in an apartment with a secure, supervised patio and plenty of space for any crate size. I also take dogs to the on-site dog park for safe exercise and play.
About: I have grown up with Dogs and cats as a child. Also had bunny’s, reptiles, and gerbils for that matter! LOL! I’ve had the same Beautiful Most Awesome cat named Gizmo for 15 years until October of last year when cancer took him from me! I’m deeply saddened still. And please believe me when I say. “It was the hardest thing I ever had to do or went thru”. He was my best bud and I loved saying hello when I got home but when he was gone it has been my hardest goodbye! I have dog/New baby puppy sit for a good family friend. And learned anlot anbout new puppies and the special care they need! And I love every minuet of it! I also clean and make sure the home is presentable and reasonably ready for their mom and/or Dad to get home so they do not have to worry about cleaning their mess. Or her own. If client is comfortable with that. Then I would do anything that was asked of me! I’m very punctual and respectful and take into account what the client needs not what I think they need. It’s your family member. It’s your house, all you got to do is talk to me and let me know what you need and I will do my best at providing that service. I also have 1 dog named Bella and 2 cats named Abel and Mozart in our family. Update: Bella past from cancer a few weeks ago, and Mozart passed 2 weeks ago due to kidney disease ! We have suffered so much loss in the past 8 months. We now have Abel and Delilah. Delilah is a 6 month old kitten and Abel is a 1 yr old cat! Lots of fun! Please check my pets profile to see pics of them. And let me tell you. This is their house. We just live in it! LOL. Abel is new. I adopted him shortly after some grieving time over Gizmo. And he is just like gizmo. Big personality and very much a pain in my rear. But he’s our child. And he’s so beautiful! Thank you so much for your time in reading this. And don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am a partially disabled person. I have a disease that affects my hips and lower spine, and then a disease that we believe. I contracted through my father‘s service in Vietnam, but don’t worry nothing that’s contagious. LOL. Nothing that is Gunna take me out anytime soon but getting out of the house to go take care of fur babies is the best thing for me. It gives me exercise. It gives me purpose and it gives me the ability to give the love that I have to give away to other members of peoples families. I’m truly honest and respectful, and need more purpose in my life to help other’s, my hips and my Parkinson’s disease will not slow me down. I’m young still at 41 and I will continue to do anything and everything I can to help anyone in everyone that I can. I would like to continue helping by doing this service for you and your family.. And NOTHING WILL keep me from doing anything and everything needed in any case of taking care of your home or your furbaby. unfortunately, I can only take care of people’s homes & their fur babies in their own home, because of my furbabies. Thank you for understanding. I will keep your home in pristine condition. Cat boxes will be cleaned 2 to 3 times a day unless instructed otherwise. I’m very particular about that so your fur babies and your home will be treated with respect and love and cared for by me, which means I will put my all into anything that you need taken care of.
About: I’ve grown up my whole life loving my pets. I grew up on a mini farm so I love all animals as big as a horse and as small as a bunny. My current baby is a disabled cat who i love with my whole heart. My heart is big enough for my pets and yours!! I am a nursing student so my schedule revolves around school. Luckily that gives me plenty of free time to care for your pets! I am available most evenings and all weekends. I can provide whatever service you would like for your dog. Any time you want me to take them out, leashed, crated, play times, etc
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats for friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up, and sticking to their normal routines. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate reliable time to pet care. I plan my classes and study hours carefully, which makes it easy for me to provide structured walks, feeding times, and quality attention. I’m responsible and understand the importance of being dependable. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. My priority is making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets as a job since I was 10. However, I have grown up from birth around many different animals in my household. Ranging from dogs to turtles, I’ve had it all! I am a college student looking for any work I can get! I currently have a very open, flexible schedule and am willing to work around yours too! Growing up around pets my whole life, I have many tricks and solutions to get dogs to listen in order to assure their safety with me.
“Deena took excellent care of our two German shepherds while we were in Hawaii! We got updates during our trip and we could tell the dogs were having a great time and loved Deena. We highly recommend trusting in her to take care of your dogs!”
“Mary is absolutely amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. Her love for animals is very apparent- she is kind and caring and cares for the pets she sits as if they were her own. When she boards dogs at her house, they have ample room to run and a clean, safe environment. I would recommend Mary to anyone looking for a responsible, reliable, caring pet sitter!”
About: Hi! We’re Brittany and Chris, and we’ve been dog people our entire lives. We know that leaving your pup with someone else can be a big leap of trust — they’re family, after all! Our goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels right at home with us. We’ve both grown up with dogs and most recently had the joy of caring for our beloved Border Collie, Charley, through his senior years. We understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and quirks, and we’re happy to follow whatever helps your pup feel comfortable and cared for. Our home is clean, cozy, and very dog-friendly. We’re big fans of couch cuddles, playtime, and having a pup happily hanging out alongside us. If your dog thinks the best place in the house is curled up on the couch or snuggled in bed with their people, they’ll fit right in here! We have a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, but your pup will never be left outside unsupervised. We’re also within walking distance of beautiful Bidwell Park, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, exploring, and fresh air. I work from home, which means your dog will have lots of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. We’ll give your pup plenty of love, attention, playtime, and, of course, as many cuddles as they’re willing to accept. We’d love to get to know you and your four-legged family member and make their stay with us feel like a home away from home! Brittany works from home and has a very flexible schedule so can spend all day with your dog. We are happy to modify our daily routines to accommodate your dogs's normal walking and feeding schedule so they feel right at home. We can also accommodate last minute bookings. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard where your dog can enjoy outdoor time, but we will always supervise them while they’re outside. Inside, they’re welcome to make themselves completely at home — including cuddling up on the couch or sleeping on the bed with us. We only host one family’s dogs at a time, so your pup gets our full attention without having to share our home with unfamiliar dogs. We also do not have children, creating a calm and comfortable environment where your dog can settle in and feel at ease. We’ll follow your pup’s routines, preferences, and house rules as closely as possible so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay.
About: I had my own cat named Jesse for 16 years. He was the love of my life. My best friend, child and ruled the home. I work as a caregiver part time so I make my own schedule. I am home most of the time available to give loving attention. I live in a very pet friendly community with a large courtyard. Many dogs and cats live here. California Park Lake is across the street.
“Jessica and Tim were awesome fur baby sitters! They sent us many photos of Lally through the week, and she looked like she fit right in with them! They were great with communication, and we felt very trusting of them with our smallest family member. Thank you guys!”
“Forrest took excellent care of our 15-year-old large dog, Zeke, while we were away. He communicated clearly and promptly throughout Zeke’s stay, sending regular updates and pictures that gave us great peace of mind. Because Zeke was unable to make it up the stairs at Forrest’s house, Forrest thoughtfully adjusted his own sleeping arrangements and stayed near Zeke until he was comfortable and settled. We really appreciated the extra care and attention he showed our senior dog. Forrest also took Zeke on walks and was very attentive to his senior pace and needs. When we picked him up, Zeke seemed calm, content, and well cared for, which says a lot. We would absolutely trust Forrest with Zeke again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable, and communicative pet sitter.”
About: If I am watching your pet for more than a day, I will absolutely crochet them a fun hat or accessory! I’ve always been comfortable around animals and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m patient, attentive, and good at picking up on an animal’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m reliable with schedules and details, so feeding times, medications, walks, check-ins, and special instructions are taken seriously. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets who are energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or just very particular about how they like things done. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and low-stress as possible and make sure they feel safe, cared for. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience with both oral and injectable medications. I’m attentive to dosing instructions, timing, and making the process as calm and low-stress as possible. I’m also genuinely excited about dog walking. I’m working on being more active myself, so your dog gets a reliable walking buddy and I get an enthusiastic accountability partner. I’m happy to adjust the pace and length to your dog’s age, energy level, and usual routine—whether that means a relaxed sniff-heavy stroll or a longer, more active walk. I work a consistent full-time schedule, with quite a bit of flexibility throughout the day. It makes it easy for me to plan pet care reliably throughout and around my work hours. My work hours are 6:00am-2:30 pm Tuesday - Saturday. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other care, and I’m happy to coordinate a routine that works well for both you and your pet. I value consistency and punctuality, especially when pets are used to a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule I live in a pet-friendly apartment near lots of walking trails. I currently don’t have any pets in the home(unless you count a shrimp 🦐) I take pet care instructions seriously and always try to keep your pet’s routine as familiar and low stress as possible. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, behavior, doors and gates, leash safety, and anything else you want handled a particular way. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s boundaries, and I won’t force interaction with a nervous or shy animal. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during visits so you know how things are going.
