“Mr. John took care of my first born fur baby very well! It’s nice to know I have someone reliable who can take care of my dog while I’m traveling. Will not be the first or last time booking with Mr. John 10/10!”
“My father-in-laws dog couldn't have been in better hands. A wonderful yard to "investigate" in, a couple of other dogs to play with. A wonderful family who you can tell, loves dogs. We will be using Sarah and Jamey again for sure.”
“Kimberly took special care of Del, my dog, who has trust issues coming from a hoarder situation with little contact with humans. Her taking one dog at a time is a plus for Del or most dogs who are needing to board. Her dog, Daisy, is sweet and non threatening. Kimberly gave the space Del needed when he was with her and Daisy. If I need Del boarded in Merced I will use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities. I have 2 golden retriever dogs back in my hometown that I personally trained and raised since they were puppies when I lived with my parents. I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free. When I am entrusted with your furry friend I will always be sure to make time for their walks and keep to their feeding schedule! Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes. My house has a fenced backyard, and my housemates do have dogs and cats of their own and they are friendly towards other animals! If needed I’ll limit their interaction as I do have my own space in the house which is where your pet would be staying!
“Nelson took great care of my kitten and kept me updated on he activity throughout the day. Nelson also provided my little man with his medication, and when I went to pick my kitten up early, Nelson was helpful and kind with getting me a refund for the days my pet did not stay with him. Would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Taylor took excellent care of my boy and was good about sending pictures and updates. She even went out of her way to make him some eggs (a favorite treat of his) when he was being picky with his dog food and not eating much of it. Ricky was well taken care of and I highly recommend Taylor and would use her again.”
“This was my first time using the app and first time having my dog board at someone elses house. Cristin was amazing with communication and sending photos and updates about my dog. This was the first best experience my dog and I had. She is the best person to book if your ever looking for someone to care for your baby. She gives all the attention in the world to them and treats them like a princess. I am so happy my dog felt safe and comfortable he normally always nervouse but cristin made him feel welcomed and loved which made him open up.”
“Ruthie was absolutely wonderful!! She takes such good care of her pups and did the same with mine. It was a relief not to have to worry about my pups while I did a hike in Yosemite. I can’t recommend her enough! I’ve always thought my pups would love the farm life and after seeing my pups at Ruthie’s place, it only confirms that ?”
“Estefany was a fantastic dog sitter to my pup Ella! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and was very nice and easy going. She was also super flexible as I shifted the dates & times a few times. Ella had a great time with her pups Zoey & Bella. Would highly recommend to all fellow pet owners!”
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.
About: Babysat for both animals and children, also work as a Pediatric Medical assistant, love to take them out with me especially on my nightly walks and get all our energy out of our system. I am pretty open since I only work three days a week randomly. Just let me know what days you need and we can coordinate. I live in a 2 story house soon moving to a 1 floor house with a huge grass backyard and a huge fence. I’m very big on building a trust system with the animals I babysit especially once with a bad background. They free roam in my bedroom living room and backyard. I go on 30mins- 1 hour walks normally. I love playing games as well with them as well and take them to meet my friends pets too.
“Amanda took very good care of my two furbabies while I was out of town. She kept in touch with me throughout my time away & provided snap shots so I could ssee them enjoying their break from me!! Easy drop off & pick up experience.”

“Kirsten did a great job once again, came home to a happy cat. I felt secure that she would take care of my cat while I was gone. She did everything I asked and went above and beyond by giving pets and treats to my cat as well as taking care of a small task in my home. I would recommend and will choose her again if my cat needs another check-in :)”
“I met Jasmine a few days before she was to sit with Lola. She was very friendly and put my mind at ease. When Jasmine was with Lola she had updated me through text, photos, and video which I truly appreciated! If possible, she will be my forever sitter for Lola!”
“We made our booking on very short notice and Eve was kind enough to accept. We are very grateful for her daily Rover report on our sweet Jenna as well as it seemed she even made her a puzzle that I had briefly mentioned that I would make ahead of time but was not able to as time got away from me. Thank you, Eve!”
“She was very good with my car who just got out a surgery. She checked for wounds and sent me pictures and made sure she was safe and happy. I would hire her back if I had a need for more pet care in the future. ?”
“Coralie is great! Extremely responsive and willing to help out in a pinch! She has been taking great care of Winnie this year when I needed to be away from him. She took the time to learn his needs and social progress, and interact with him within his limitations. Thanks so much!”
About: Growing up in a family that loved animals I had gained experience caring for and training small, medium, and large dogs as well as cats and horses! I have held the titles of Miss Calaveras Saddle Queen, Miss California State Horseman's Association, and Miss Rodeo Oakdale. All of these titles were ambassador rolls for excellent animal welfare care and required a tremendous amount of equine care knowledge. My knowledge of animal care was expanded further during my employment at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital as first a kennel assistant and then a veterinary assistant. Working at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital I provided routine walks for a vast variety of dog breeds that were both boarding and hospitalized. I am able to administer medications if need be and willing to help with medical care. Currently a student at UC Davis, my weekly routine is very flexible for providing you the best pet care possible! This quarter mornings and evenings work best during week days and my weekends are open! My employee feedback from Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital described me as thorough, patient, and compassionate. I am confident that I will provide your pet with all the play time, treats, and care they could possibly want!
About: For a couple years now, I've been there to care for my friend's kitty, Layla. I've done housesitting for her often, whether its a day or a couple. I adore senior cats, but I do have experience taking care of younger, more playful kittens as well.
“Nelson took great care of my kitten and kept me updated on he activity throughout the day. Nelson also provided my little man with his medication, and when I went to pick my kitten up early, Nelson was helpful and kind with getting me a refund for the days my pet did not stay with him. Would definitely recommend!”
“Shannon is the best! She took excellent care of our two dogs. She made sure they had their exercise, socialized with them. They were 2 very happy dogs. She is very good at communicating so there are no worries while your away. Lots of pics were sent on each visit. I highly recommend her.”
“Ericka watched our dog Zeus while my boyfriend and I explored Yosemite for the weekend! She was so flexible and easy to communicate with! One day she did day care at our hotel suite, then for the others she just did drop-in visits! Zeus was well taken care of and we would def choose Ericka again! Thank you for taking such good care of our Zeus & making us feel at ease while leaving him :)”
“Sabrina did a great job caring for my cats! My timid cat that hides from everyone spent time with her so that says a lot about how great she is with animals. Definitely recommend her services”
“I was out of town for two weeks and didn’t have anyone to take care of my dogs. I hired Gonzalo who had never met my dogs and he did great. He was a huge help he also takes and sends pictures with every visit which I liked a lot. I highly recommend his services.”
About: I have 12 years of experience in animal care and a life time of loving animals. I am a licensed registered veterinary technician. I have personal experience with senior care. Pet care fits into my daily routine. It does not even feel like work. I truly enjoy caring for other people’s fur-babies. I am capable of medicating and taking pets on walks. I care for pets in their home where they are most comfortable. Depending on what the owner would like me to do. I can take their pet on walks, keep them company and feed them and give them potty breaks.
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: 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.

“We loved the service, and from the pictures we can tell Dexter was well taken care of and he had a great time. He’s a pup so we were worried about how he would do with the other dogs but looked like he fit right in. Thanks Jon! Definitely recommend and would trust them again with our boy.”

I want nothing more than for my clients to know their fur babies are cared for and regularly checked on.
“Ashlee was great! She met us at Sentinel beach in Yosemite National Park to sit our puppies during our wedding. She arrived right on time and took our pups for a nice walk.

I have cared for animals from newborns to seniors and have experience caring for animals with medical needs (oral medication, injections, etc.). I love animals of all kinds and would love to take care of yours! I am a full-time student at Merced College, and I'm working on my ASTs in Mathematics and Computer Science & Engineering! I do have a couple of in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays (online wasn't available), so please message me if you are interested in booking but unsure if the dates/ times will work. Other than that, I am generally free the rest of the week. I was recently accepted to UC Merced, and I'm scheduled to transfer this fall (2025). To fully focus on my studies, I will no longer be offering dog-sitting services after mid-August of this year. I really appreciate your understanding, thank you! I can travel as needed to care for your pet in your home. I am more than happy to adapt to whatever needs/ wants you may have regarding the care of your pet!

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.
“Coralie is great. My dogs look forward to their walks with her. She is caring, but also helpful in training them as well. She is good about walking according to your dog’s speed and needs.

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.

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 taken care of animals since I was 13! I am currently on a Pre-Vet track while attending UC Merced. I have experience handling both cats and dogs in a veterinary clinic setting. I’ve worked with plenty of shelters where I would ensure the animals were well fed, socialized, and was able to create a clean/safe environment for them to the best of my abilities.

I am a full time student at UC Merced, however my classes are pretty condensed so I have a good amount of free time each day and all my evenings are 100% free.

Weekends would be my most availability as it’s the days I don’t have classes.

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!”
“Taylor took excellent care of my boy and was good about sending pictures and updates. She even went out of her way to make him some eggs (a favorite treat of his) when he was being picky with his dog food and not eating much of it. Ricky was well taken care of and I highly recommend Taylor and would use her again.”
“This was my first time using the app and first time having my dog board at someone elses house. Cristin was amazing with communication and sending photos and updates about my dog. This was the first best experience my dog and I had. She is the best person to book if your ever looking for someone to care for your baby. She gives all the attention in the world to them and treats them like a princess. I am so happy my dog felt safe and comfortable he normally always nervouse but cristin made him feel welcomed and loved which made him open up.”
“Ruthie was absolutely wonderful!! She takes such good care of her pups and did the same with mine. It was a relief not to have to worry about my pups while I did a hike in Yosemite. I can’t recommend her enough! I’ve always thought my pups would love the farm life and after seeing my pups at Ruthie’s place, it only confirms that ?”
“Estefany was a fantastic dog sitter to my pup Ella! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and was very nice and easy going. She was also super flexible as I shifted the dates & times a few times. Ella had a great time with her pups Zoey & Bella. Would highly recommend to all fellow pet owners!”
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.
“Amanda took very good care of my two furbabies while I was out of town. She kept in touch with me throughout my time away & provided snap shots so I could ssee them enjoying their break from me!! Easy drop off & pick up experience.”
“Ashlee and her husband were amazing. My dog Skye loved both of them. They have a lot of room from dogs to run and play. My dog was happy and tired out and having a husky that’s not an easy thing. Both Ashlee and her husband really love dogs and it shows. I was very pleased and will be using them again in the future!”
“Shannon did a great job sitting our two large dogs; highly recommend! She gave routine updates, pictures, and read my dogs info before we arrived. She has a nice dog proof house. Allowed the dogs on her couch and dog bed. She took them for routine walks around her large property. She was kind and trustworthy. We used her for one night of dog sitting while we hiked half dome. There are limited to no other options in the area and dogs aren’t allowed on any Yosemite hikes. We were lucky to get her!”
