“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”
About: I am experienced with caring for all kinds of dogs. I have access to many dog parks and walk them up to 5 times a day. I adapt to the pet’s needs to give them the best care. I have a golden retriever (6 mo.) and a labradoodle (10 yrs). My golden (Sunny) is super friendly and loves to make friends! I ensure that your pet’s needs are met and they have the highest form of care. I’m a junior at the University of California, Davis. I have a flexible schedule with my course work that allows me to be fully engaged with the dogs in my care. I live in a gated community so pets can’t easily get out. I take my puppy on long walks at the Davis Arboretum and have a dog park where I live which ensures they are getting their exercise and playtime. My apartment is clean for health safety. If I am staying at the owner’s home, I will apply the owner’s directions.
“Cody the senior Labrador is well cared for by Achara and her family. When I pick him up from a stay at her house, he is always very relaxed and calm. There is this satisfied sense about him. I highly recommend Achara.”
“Thank you so much to Ann for her great care of our 10 year old pup Rocky! Ann was quick to respond and provided updates each day my wife and I were away from our dog. It is always difficult when we drop Rocky right before a trip and so we were extra grateful that he was in her care! The photos we received during his stay were so cute and we were impressed he was getting along with the other dogs during his stay with Ann! When we picked him Ann even gave us a photo colleague of Rocky during his start with her which was so adorable. Lastly, My wife and I were very impressed she was able to be creative when it came to ensuring our dog drank plenty of water; he sometimes does not drink enough water and her caring nature made sure he remained hydrated especially in the hot Davis summer days. Would recommend to other Rover users to book with Ann- you will not be disappointed 07182021.”
“We left our old, spoiled little Sam for a few days and we were very happy! Lots of pictures were sent and great communication! Will definitely do it again. Sam was very comfortable and happy!”
“A bit hard to review as there wasn’t much overlapping time to be with Memha. Her home is quite rural and surrounded by orchards with a large fenced yard so visually very appealing Memha and her husband were very sweet and volunteered to come into town to both pick up and return our dog back to us; very thoughtful! Our dog came home tired which we loved!”
“Annie was great with my nervous dog. Annie responded quickly to my messages as we prepared for my dog's stay with her, and sent me pictures while my dog was in her care.”
“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Michelle was great and super accommodating. We last minute had to extend our pup's stay by a couple days and she was happy to keep her. Michelle sent pictures regularly and kept us updated. I will absolutely bring our pup back to her and would recommend her to anyone looking for doggie care.”
“I was very nervous to leave my two very high energy rescues with anyone overnight for the first time. April answered all my questions upfront and I felt comfortable booking boarding with her. I was not disappointed. I truly believe she loves dogs, knows a lot about them and cared for them as well as can be expected outside of your own home. She was good about responding to my questions quickly and sent me several pictures daily. I will definitely book with April again if I can.”
“A very nice girl who tried her best to nurture and console my not very willing dogs. 😄 she did a great job and sent lots of videos and messages to keep me up to date with how they were doing… they loved her and had fun playing with her two sweet dogs. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for 12+ years, with a strong background in rescue, behavior, and training. Since 2023, I’ve fostered dogs through Front Street Animal Shelter, including dogs with significant behavioral challenges. I also train my own rescue dog in sports and have experience working through reactivity, separation anxiety, and lack of socialization. I additionally shadow professional dog trainers twice a week to continue expanding my skills. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all temperaments and am committed to providing safe, structured, and individualized care! I often work from home and enjoy going on hikes in my free time (with the dogs of course)! Specifics will vary dog by dog, but I make sure everyone is happy! Please message me for more details! I am versed in pet dog training, and place an emphasis on safety for everyone, including consistent reading of canine body language, proactive safety measures, and attention to detail. I’ve cared for many dogs with varying needs, so I am easily adaptable but safety always remains a priority.
“My pups loved staying at Marya’s and I could tell they were well taken care of. Lots of photos and updates, and Marya was really great with communication and coordinating drop off and pick up times. I recommended her to my friend who lives in the area, and I hope my pups can stay here again next time we’re in town!”
“Mya was amazing with our senior dog Pepper, she gave me lots of updates on him as-well as pictures and videos. She made me feel really comfortable leaving him in her care and communicated amazingly with me! i will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“What a great team Marie & James made! Our senior pet is an active part of our family. We were so worried he wouldn’t understand our being away on a vacation without him. Upon meeting Marie and James, our Cooper seemed comfortable immediately. Their calm and openly friendly attitude was apparent. True to their word, daily pictures and videos were sent with texts. Their experience with older dogs and administering of medications was a relief. Can’t thank or praise them enough. Super nice people. Thank you! Cooper thanks you as well.”
“This was my first time using Kazue and I couldn’t be happier .. she took such great care of my Mitzi! Kazue kept me updated with messages and pictures so I could see how my girl was doing. Will definitely use Kazue again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a kind and attentive pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets and homes for more than 25 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, and have spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and through TrustedHousesitters. Earlier in my career, I worked at a veterinary office, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care. I’ve also volunteered with Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue, helping with transportation, fostering dogs in need, and walking dogs at the rescue. That’s actually where I met and eventually adopted my own Golden Retriever and Mini Goldendoodle! My family has been active on TrustedHousesitters for the past two years, both as pet owners and sitters. Being on the other side of the experience has given us a real appreciation for how important it is to find someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after your pets. We love giving that same peace of mind to other pet parents. I work full-time, but spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do in my free time. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I work from home most days so am open to taking care of pets in the morning, lunch time, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends with a 1 week notice. I can also stay at your house and work remotely if you require someone to be with your pets throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I do not like kenneling dogs so unless this is a request of yours, your dog(s) will not be kenneled. They will have full roam of my house and will have access 24/7 to the backyard via the doggy door.

“Amazing job, and so sweet! Zihui was very careful and considerate, even in such a chaotic mess as my house is from my remodel and recent travel. She reached out to me to double check meds for one of my boys, and I was so grateful. Excellent sitter, and very kind and accommodating. I appreciate everything, and I know my boys did, too!”
“Dear Kelly, Thank you for going out of your way to provide the best possible care for our cats, particularly my Siamak. You have left your mark on all of our hearts and we will always support you. I am grateful to have met you.”
“Our cats love Lucy, she took great care of them! Lucy was really communicative throughout the process and we felt very comfortable leaving our girls in her care over the holidays.”
“Rachel was very responsive, easy to work with, and great with our cats. She sent lots of pictures and videos so we were confident they were alright and in good hands. Would definitely recommend.”
“Cindy took wonderful care of Norman! She was very conscientious with his care, communicated well, and sent great pictures. Norman has a difficult temperament sometimes, but Cindy made him comfortable in her home and was able to reliably give him his medication. I would definitely trust her with your pets!”
“Very punctual, attentive, kind, all the things. Because one of our three cats was undergoing a diet trial, the usual to-do list for our weekend away was a bit more complicated than average. She handled it just fine, no problems, and took some lovely pics to boot.”
“Megan was fantastic with my cat Norman. Norman is a diabetic cat who can be aggressive with strangers when they try to give insulin, so it's often tough to find sitters who can manage him. I was so happy with how patient and compassionate Megan was with him. She was extremely reliable and a great communicator, and was able to make sure he got his insulin on time everyday. I would really highly recommend Megan, you can definitely trust her to take great care of your pet!”
“Jessie is wonderful to have as our pet sitter! She communicates well and was so great with Oslo. She is totally trustworthy and we will definitely be calling upon her again!”
About: I understand that cats need more time to ease up to a new person. I am patient, careful, and understand their body language. I have genuine love for every pet and love every experience I have with each. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved.
About: Hi, I’m Savannah! As a lifelong animal lover and proud Irish Setter owner, I know that high-energy pups need more than just a quick turn around the block. With over 3 years of pet sitting experience, I bring plenty of enthusiasm, reliability, and love to every single visit. I’m a fast walker, so if your dog loves a brisk pace to burn off energy, they’ll get a great workout with me! If they prefer extra playtime or just hanging out and getting belly rubs, I'm all about making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. What you can expect from every visit: Full-Care Routine: Fresh water refills after every walk, feeding on your schedule, and taking care of any extra pet chores while I’m there. Fun & Play: Dedicated play time and total attention tailored to your dog's personality. Pupdates: Punctual progress reports and adorable, high-quality photos so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having! Whether your dog needs a fast-paced walk or a cozy check-in with lots of affection, I’ll treat them like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I’m available any day of the week at any time! Communication with clients is a big thing for me so if that ever changes you will know! In-Home Care & Playtime Instant Warm-Up & Attention: Start each visit with enthusiasm, giving the dog immediate affection, belly rubs, and positive energy to build comfort and excitement. Targeted Energy Burn: Use interactive toys (like fetch or tug) and active play sessions to drain extra energy before settling them down, keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. Basic Needs & Chores: Always double-check water bowls for fresh refills (especially after active play), handle scheduled feedings, and take care of any quick pet-related tidy-ups before leaving. On Walks Tailored Pace: Maintain a brisk, fast walk to maximize physical exertion for energetic dogs, while adjusting to sniff breaks so they get necessary mental enrichment. Constant Engagement: Keep eyes on the dog at all times, talking to them, keeping them moving, and managing leash safety around distractions. Post-Walk Wind Down: Bring them back inside, offer fresh water, towel off paws if needed, and let them cool off in a safe, comfortable spot. Client Communication Photo Updates: Snap clear, adorable pictures during play or mid-walk to send with your visit report. Detailed Notes: Leave a quick summary letting the owner know how much energy was burned, how much water/food was taken, and any fun moments from the visit.
“Jessica is truly one of the nicest people I have met and my kitty loved her and the care she gave. She addresses every question thoroughly and is great with accommodations. I highly recommend her!”
About: Ever since I was a little kid, I'd always wanted to get a kitten, so that's what I did as soon as I got my first apartment! In addition to caring for my own two furbabies, I have experience with caring for cats through petsitting and family members' cats.
“Dina helped out with my cat for about a week while I was travelling. She sent pictures daily, spent time to make sure my very shy cat was doing ok and generally was great to work with. I will book with Dina again for sure.”
About: ** No charge for additional pets!! I adopted my first cat Bowie when I was 20 and he truly changed my life for the better. Since adopting him I've worked full time for a year in an animal shelter, adopted another cat (Chibi), and fostered over 10 cats with my local shelter. I've fostered a wide range of cats ranging from 3 week old kittens that required syringe feeding, daily medications, and extensive weight tracking to senior cats in their golden years. I've also experienced caring for a hospice cat which required administering medication, food, and liquids through an E-tube. As a fellow cat mom with a passion for caring for animals, I can assure you I will give your furry family member the respect, attention, and love they deserve!

“My dog's new best friend! Each time we pick her up from daycare my dog is so relaxed and chill. Alexandra is amazingly sweet and gentle with our dog, I was immediately at ease with leaving her under her care.”
“Annie is amazing!! She is so sweet and kind and gives my little guy all the love and attention he needs!! She watches my dog while I’m at work daily and I love that he gets to meet other dogs while there! She sends me updates and photos everyday and I just know he is having the time of his life!! If you are nervous or anxious about leaving your dog to go on vacation/ or to work, contact Annie for pet sitting, she is the best!!”
About: I've always liked to rescue animals and care for them from a young age. So lots of my family and friends would bring animals to me or trust me to petsit for them. I've not only cared for dogs and cats, but also turtles, toads, and a few birds. I'm currently solely attending classes so I have plenty of availability for your pets to always feel well cared for during their stay with me! I have a fenced patio, luckily there are a few pet friendly parks that surround me. I follow any instructions given for your pet care to a T since no one knows your pet like you do. I have a housemate, but she is just as loving to any animal brought in.
“Anna, was fantastic for my 16 yr old Chihuahua mix dog. Very understanding of Chica’s limitations and seemed to enjoy my old girl. Sent nice pictures and kept me updated on Chica’s day. I could tell my dog enjoyed being there. Anna’s dog experience was evident. I would definitely use her again when I travel to Davis area again. Very comfortable with my dog in her care.”
“April and her family were so good to Penny! She sent pictures and kept me updated, so I could relax knowing Penny was being given so much love and attention! I will absolutely use April again!!”
About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Raised on a farm and on a pre-vet track from a young age, I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds—from house pets to livestock to wildlife. Starting at 14, I volunteered in local vet clinics and wildlife rehab centers, gaining hands-on experience with everything from cats and dogs to peacocks, horses, goats, snakes, fish, birds, and cattle. At UC Davis, I deepened my care skills while working at the world-renowned Vet Hospital, tending to cats and dogs during the swing shift. I also worked with campus goats, pigs, sheep, fish, cattle, and horses—and even fostered cats for the hospital. Now in my 30s, I’m an education professional and dedicated pet mom to both cats and dogs. I continue to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets with the same compassion, attention, and responsibility that’s guided me my whole life. I’m certified in Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid, and Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid, and have emergency care experience with animals large and small. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always communicate clearly—your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm currently taking a break from teaching, and being a full-time stay-at-home mama to my 3 year old daughter and 5 month old son. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. Please note that at this time, we are seeking families whose pets are comfortable around toddlers and babies. I have a fully fenced yard, and a park just around the corner from my house for those whose furry friends enjoy a stretch, walk, or playtime! I am comfortable using a crate, and we have plenty of floor room in the house (carpet and laminate) for them to lay down if they're not crate trained. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Cats are allowed to wander the house. We are more than happy to put up child gates to keep your furry family member in certain areas of the house if they're prone to getting into things (such as stuffed animals for the kiddos... I mean really, a lot of doggie toys these days look so similar! I'd understand the misconception. lol) We're not afraid to be firm but kind if your family member needs set boundaries.
“Marya has been taking good care of Finley weekly since he was just a puppy. She is very patient with my high energy dog and he gets extremely excited every time we pull into her driveway area :)”
“Frankee come home happy and tired! Annie was kind and responsive and available for a last minute request. There were other dogs at Annie’s house so Frankee had plenty of opportunities for play.”
“My dog Leo seemed very happy when I picked him up. Aida was reassuring and helpful for a convenient delivery and pick up. We left him for the day while attending a Davis graduation from out of town.”
“We did a trial daycare visit to prepare for a longer stay in a month. Everything went so well! Great communication and several updates were sent throughout the day of them playing and resting! I feel much more comfortable leaving them at a new place for their longer stay after this visit. Thanks Achara for your care with the pups and I can already tell they are looking forward to going back!”
“Kathleen was a life saver! Had a change in work plans and needed help within 24 hours, Kathleen was there to the rescue! Very communicative, very knowledgeable of doggos, and great to work with! Lily always is happy to see her and hang out at doggy day care :)”

“Zihui helped me so much as I'm recovering from a broken ankle and leg and needed someone to walk my high energy German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois puppy while my husband was out of town. She came and was great with him immediately and walked him for an hour every day for the entire week so that I could focus on work. She told me how each walk went and just very kind and pleasant. I definitely recommend Zihui, thank you!”
“XingYuan (Cindy) was amazing! She was very spontaneous, responsive, highly communicative, respectful, friendly, accommodating, informative, and above all, wonderful with our two pups. We will happily use her services again and would highly recommend her!”
“Carmen has been a terrific dog walker for our two hounds. They were practically smiling in the photos she’d send us each day. 5 stars and would definitely recommend to anyone in the Davis area looking for assistance with their pets.”
“I contacted Matthew to do a couple of walks for my dog. From the start he was very attentive and polite. He took the time to meet and greet us and create a bond with Jackie (our dog). We had a great experience and highly recommend Matthew to other pet parents.”

“Suhani took wonderful care of my corgi, Willy, for a few hours, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. She went above and beyond by baking homemade dog treats for him, taking him on a nice walk, and showering him with plenty of love and attention. When I picked Willy up, he was happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired—the perfect sign that he had a fun and enriching time. It's clear that Suhani genuinely cares about dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust her with Willy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Nora was really kind and found some time for a last minute request from me. She’s been extremely responsive and responsible. Anika loves her! Will definitely keep her on my go-to list for the futyre”

If pets are staying with me, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable.
About: We are excellent dog, cat, bird, poultry, reptile, and fish caretakers as we have raised most of these, and a few years ago, we had a thriving Rover business taking care of folks' animal babies. We can take care of medications if your pet needs: We have administered medicine to most of the animals on our list, including oral medication for a rooster and injections for a snake. We have had some experience in training our current dog as a service animal. While we have not had the chance to care for farm animals on our own, we love them and have had experience being around them (horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs, alpaca). Animals, plants, gardens, farms, and home-care are all in our wheelhouse and are the foundations to our lives. If you are looking to have your fur baby stay with us, we have a large home with a fenced backyard. Our German Shepherd loves to play with other dogs, and we take him and our guests to local dog parks or fenced fields to play ball and or frisbee. We take care of our guests exactly how we want our pup to be taken care of! I work part time remotely and part time I will need to be in the field. What that means is a lot of the time, I will be in the home, hanging with your furry, feathered, or scaly baby, working on my laptop. During the times I need to work outside of the home, my 19 year old daughter (who has been doing Rover with me since she was 11) will give the best care in my place. I have a thriving Airbnb business in my home for over a decade, so I have a ton of experience and mindset on home-care: I treat other folks' pets and homes as well as I treat my own. I make it point to keep my clients connected via photos and updates. If I am providing boarding in my home, our 4 year old German Shepherd will love to play with your pup. If I am providing sitting in your home, then my pup will stay home unless requested for a playmate in your home.
“She is an amazing pet sitter! She is great with my dog, is very reliable, and I always know that my dog is safe with her and having fun! She walks my dog, throws the ball for her and lets her get energy out and use the bathroom while I’m at work and I always know she’s in good hands. She’s great at communication and is really flexible about what time she comes over. I highly recommend her!!”
About: Hello, I have always been an animal lover since visiting my Grandma's farm as a kid. My first job for that I held for 4 years in High School was at a Vet hospital, where I fed, cleaned, walked, cared for and groomed the boarding dogs and cats. As an adult, I have loved animal watching/walking for friends and family. As a volunteer, I fed and cleaned the farm animals at a non-profit ranch for autistic children. I work full time in the medical field and enjoy being active so I am excited to get outside for walks and visit your pets on my days off. I am no able to own pets where I live, so I would love to be able to care for yours. Thank You, Megan I am available multiple days a week to walk and drop-in care for pets. My work schedule changes each week but I am able to scheduled services a week in advance. I would care for a pet at a client's home. I do not have a yard but would be happy to travel to the pet's home to socialize and make sure that they are feeling safe and comfortable.
“Kate is great! Flexible with schedules. She’s one of a kind where you can rely on taking care of your fur baby. She’s like a second mom to our picky lab. He’s always excited to walking with her. It matters a lot when you feel the trust and confidence that your fur baby is in good hands.”
“Xitlalli was able to take care of my sweet Bear this week even though my need was last minute. She took great notes for us and adorable pictures. I felt good about how much real time updates I got about how my Bear was doing.”
About: **I don't charge for additional pets!! I’ve always been an animal enthusiast growing up in the country I did whatever I could to be around animals constantly. In our home we had four dogs, two hamsters, a corn snake, a half-blind horse, countless hermit crabs, and a parakeet. There is truly no animal I don't love and won't do my best to care for. Growing up with these animals I've had the privilege to be there when they were puppies/kittens/babies all the way through the end of their life, so I have extensive experience with care in every life stage. I've carried that love and passion with me into adulthood. As an adult I've worked for a year as a kennel technician at a humane society enriching, socializing, training, and advocating for dogs, cats, and small animals. I also regularly volunteer time at humane societies when I can and regularly foster cats, to date I've successfully fostered over 10 cats who are now all in happy homes. Through fostering I've experienced some harder care cases. Including fostering 3 week old sick kittens requiring syringe feedings, multiple medications, and detailed weight tracking. I've also had the privilege of fostering a hospice case who required food, liquid, and medication administration through an e-tube along with extensive monitoring. No matter what kind of care your pet needs I will do my best to ensure they receive the love, respect, and attention they deserve. I look forward to helping you and your furry (and maybe scaly) family members! I'm avaliable for drop-ins, boarding, and walking M-F after 2:30 PM! I can also do breakfast drop-ins during the week between 5:00-5:30 AM, or earlier if need be. I'm open and available most weekends for all pet care, I keep my schedule updated 3 months out! If you want to book further than 3 months just send me a message and I'm happy to work with you! My top priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. Each visit, walk, or stay is individual and entirely customizable for your pet. To ensure your pet receives the best care I require an initial meet and greet, or phone call so we can discuss what the ideal care looks like. I prioritize customizable care, communication, and enrichment to make sure your pet has the best 'staycation' ever!

“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”
About: I am experienced with caring for all kinds of dogs. I have access to many dog parks and walk them up to 5 times a day. I adapt to the pet’s needs to give them the best care. I have a golden retriever (6 mo.) and a labradoodle (10 yrs). My golden (Sunny) is super friendly and loves to make friends! I ensure that your pet’s needs are met and they have the highest form of care. I’m a junior at the University of California, Davis. I have a flexible schedule with my course work that allows me to be fully engaged with the dogs in my care. I live in a gated community so pets can’t easily get out. I take my puppy on long walks at the Davis Arboretum and have a dog park where I live which ensures they are getting their exercise and playtime. My apartment is clean for health safety. If I am staying at the owner’s home, I will apply the owner’s directions.
“Cody the senior Labrador is well cared for by Achara and her family. When I pick him up from a stay at her house, he is always very relaxed and calm. There is this satisfied sense about him. I highly recommend Achara.”
“Annie was great with my nervous dog. Annie responded quickly to my messages as we prepared for my dog's stay with her, and sent me pictures while my dog was in her care.”
“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“I was very nervous to leave my two very high energy rescues with anyone overnight for the first time. April answered all my questions upfront and I felt comfortable booking boarding with her. I was not disappointed. I truly believe she loves dogs, knows a lot about them and cared for them as well as can be expected outside of your own home. She was good about responding to my questions quickly and sent me several pictures daily. I will definitely book with April again if I can.”
About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for 12+ years, with a strong background in rescue, behavior, and training. Since 2023, I’ve fostered dogs through Front Street Animal Shelter, including dogs with significant behavioral challenges. I also train my own rescue dog in sports and have experience working through reactivity, separation anxiety, and lack of socialization. I additionally shadow professional dog trainers twice a week to continue expanding my skills. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all temperaments and am committed to providing safe, structured, and individualized care! I often work from home and enjoy going on hikes in my free time (with the dogs of course)! Specifics will vary dog by dog, but I make sure everyone is happy! Please message me for more details! I am versed in pet dog training, and place an emphasis on safety for everyone, including consistent reading of canine body language, proactive safety measures, and attention to detail. I’ve cared for many dogs with varying needs, so I am easily adaptable but safety always remains a priority.
“My pups loved staying at Marya’s and I could tell they were well taken care of. Lots of photos and updates, and Marya was really great with communication and coordinating drop off and pick up times. I recommended her to my friend who lives in the area, and I hope my pups can stay here again next time we’re in town!”
“Mya was amazing with our senior dog Pepper, she gave me lots of updates on him as-well as pictures and videos. She made me feel really comfortable leaving him in her care and communicated amazingly with me! i will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“What a great team Marie & James made! Our senior pet is an active part of our family. We were so worried he wouldn’t understand our being away on a vacation without him. Upon meeting Marie and James, our Cooper seemed comfortable immediately. Their calm and openly friendly attitude was apparent. True to their word, daily pictures and videos were sent with texts. Their experience with older dogs and administering of medications was a relief. Can’t thank or praise them enough. Super nice people. Thank you! Cooper thanks you as well.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets and homes for more than 25 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, and have spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and through TrustedHousesitters. Earlier in my career, I worked at a veterinary office, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care. I’ve also volunteered with Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue, helping with transportation, fostering dogs in need, and walking dogs at the rescue. That’s actually where I met and eventually adopted my own Golden Retriever and Mini Goldendoodle! My family has been active on TrustedHousesitters for the past two years, both as pet owners and sitters. Being on the other side of the experience has given us a real appreciation for how important it is to find someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after your pets. We love giving that same peace of mind to other pet parents. I work full-time, but spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do in my free time. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I work from home most days so am open to taking care of pets in the morning, lunch time, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends with a 1 week notice. I can also stay at your house and work remotely if you require someone to be with your pets throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I do not like kenneling dogs so unless this is a request of yours, your dog(s) will not be kenneled. They will have full roam of my house and will have access 24/7 to the backyard via the doggy door.
About: I have been a dog lover ever since I was young and I got my first dog when I was 7. I took care of him until he left me. I feel like all animals around me are my best friends. I also volunteered in a non governmental organization in the Philippines to help out with animals who are in need and needs love and attention. Interned in a pet clinic which taught me how to prepare their medicine and inject them in their IV lines If only I could adopt all those animals who need a home I would rush to any animal shelter and provide everything they need. I think that’s what makes me different from other sitters and walkers because in the future I want to be a veterinarian and save animals. It has been my dream to help these lovely creatures. I’m currently a full time veterinary assistant who works Monday to Friday. I have an hour lunch so if its close or they are staying with me, I can swing by and check in on them. During weekends, I am available. I provide a safe environment by dog/cat proofing my place. I am very particular about making sure they don’t get into absolutely anything. These pets are treated like my own. Under my watch, they are treated the best care they possibly can get.
“Both were super sweet. Kind energy. My little guy was so happy when I picked him up. So I know I left him in good hands. Received a video of him on a walk and a pic of him lounging while I was away. Super thankful for them! Can't wait to have them watch Roscoe in the future”
“Super sweet sitter!! She updates often and is very easy to communicate with. Extremely friendly and gives plenty of photos and videos :) Would recommend !!”
“Whimsy was welcomed to their home with a personalized sign. He was treasured, exercised and obviously very comfortable 100% of the time and had no desire to leave Shannon and Sunshine when it was time to go home. He was in his glory!!”
