“Celia was so friendly and great with my doggie. He was very happy staying with her, and she kept me updated well with pictures of him. I would trust her to watch him again, anytime!”
“Our guy has some special needs requiring meds, a strict diet, etc. Stephanie heard my concerns and asked all the right questions. It was easy to trust her. She and her family cared for our guy for several days/nights. They treated him like family tending to his needs and showering him with attention & fun. We look forward to the next time we turn Stephanie to support our guy's care.”
“Alison is our go to for taking care of our pup when we are going out of town. Alison makes sure she is well loved and part of her own family. We never worry about the care she will get and know our pup is having a great time while we are away. I would highly recommend Alison for boarding & day care”
“Jennifer gave us updates regularly about how our pup was doing. She was very responsive and flexible with pick up and drop off times. Our dog had a great visit with her. Thanks !”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“I adore Emmeline! And her family. They are kind and spoil our fur baby! He is loved and cared for. Very nice home and very communicative! You will love her! She takes great care of your fur babies! Thank you so much for everything.”
“Thank you so much for another wonderful stay. As always my pup comes home happy and healthy. He always has such a great time at Ana’s house!! He’s always so excited to come!! See you soon!”
“An is such an amazing woman! She was so sweet kept me updated about my puppy and everything they did together with photos! I will be coming back when we do need a pup sitter! She was very accommodating, and very helpful! Thank you so much girly!”
“Rana and David have been great taking care of my dog Luna a couple of times for an extended period of time. I can tell Luna enjoys her stay because she goes back happily. Very good job communicating and sending pictures. Thanks!”
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”

Dogs are fed as much and as often as requested by owner along with the amount of potty breaks. If the pet is house trained they are also allowed to be in the home.

“Margerita was very accommodating and understanding during the entire stay. I was worried about leaving my dog for the first time, but she communicated well and helped my husband and I ease our mind. My Australian shepherd is an anxious dog, but when I picked her up she seemed very happy and taken care of. I could tell that Margerita was able to handle my dog incredibly well and it made me extremely happy to have my dog socialized with Margeritas pets. I highly recommend her services, and I will definitely book through her in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Katelyn! 🐾 As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, I know that your pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of your family. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away by providing the exact same love, attention, and structured care that you do. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk around the neighborhood, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your furry friend thrives on a strict feeding and routine schedule, I’ve got you covered. I pride myself on being reliable, highly communicative, and attentive to every detail of your pet's needs. I can't wait to meet your fur babies! I’m a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to make sure your pet has regular potty and play breaks and plenty of love. We have a fenced back yard and plenty of room for your fur baby to run around. I can also take your pet for walks if requested.
About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. My family and I have so much fun dog boarding and I find it fulfilling to work as a dog sitter. Maybe I'll open up a unique pet services business one day 🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾 Pet care fits into my schedule when I am not working a full-time job. As I stated, I have 2 dogs of my own and spend a lot of time training them and taking care of their physical needs. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.
“My dog had her first overnight stay and it went well! My dog is usually a bit on the anxious side and was made absolutely comfortable. Very happy with the care my dog received. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Flor enough! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She sent daily updates, including pictures, which really gave me peace of mind. My dogs absolutely loved her, and I could tell they were well cared for and happy the whole time. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring, she’s the one! Will be booking again!”
“Marissa is terrific! We were so lucky to have our black lab, Mora, stay with her for two weeks. Marissa updated us regularly with pictures and descriptions of events. She also greatly helped with Nora’s skin irritation. Thank you, Marissa!”
“Nadine is the only one we trust with our dog. I drive from the bay area to Modesto just to take drop our pup off sometimes in hours of traffic. If that doesn't tell how good she is then idk what else will 😂”

“Great with our cats and the house. She worked hard to make friends with the hesitant cats. Success was proven by the fact that they were not mad at us when we got home. Sarah was also very patient and helpful with me learning the Rover protocols. Recommended!”
“We left Aaron with our precious Lucy for 4 nights and we loved the way he knew how to gain Lucy's trust! We may have come by and take Lucy for a walk just so she remembers him. We felt confident with Aaron's dog whisperer skills. We will use him again. Thank you Aaron!”
“I was so busy planning a wedding that I forgot to get a catsitter and booked with her literally the night before and she accepted! She has since then taken such good care in keeping me updated, as well as, hanging out my kitty while I was away. Sent me lots of pictures and reassured me that my fur baby is doing okay ? Highly trustworthy and would very much reccomend!”
“Becca was quick with communication and very easy to work with. She was respectful and thoughtful in her questions ace actions. We appreciated her helping us out with our drop-in request.”
About: Hi, I’m Ethan, 19 years old and ready to care for your cat! I also have a cute kitty and nothing is better to me than making sure she is loved and cared for. I would love to do the same for you and your cat(s)! I am experienced in cat care from little kitties to cherished older babies for many years now, taking care of friends and family’s cats/pets. Will happily take care of multiple cats and animals, and will always be prepared to play with, cuddle, and care for your pet in any way they need!
“Very grateful for Natalia! I would leave TEN STARS if I could! She is always on time to booked appointments and very communicative. My cat is quite aloof but he enjoys her company. It gives me genuine peace of mind to know that she is checking in on him.”
About: I got a kitten about a year ago, her name is Bella and it took her a second to get used to us, so I understand how you need to be more patient with some cats. I deep clean my own cats litter box at least once a week and will hold up to my on standard with your pets as I do with mine.
“Amanda did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs. She communicated excellently, and spent quality time with them during the drop-in visit. We will definitely book with Amanda again.”
“As an owner of a doggy (Felix) that is rather unsocialized, untrained, and has the tendency to excite pee very often, I thought I was doomed with finding someone to take my boy out when I couldn't be there at night. But no - along came Jessica! She made me and Felix feel extra comfortable. She shared her prior experience with a dog that seemed similar to mine, which gave me true relief. During her drop-in, Felix excited peed on the floor and Jessica helped to clean it up (she even asked where the cleaning supplies were PRIOR to her drop-in because she knew what to expect with a doggy like mine - the INITIATIVE). By the end of her 30 minute visit, Felix was already barking and howling for Jessica to not leave. He loved her instantly and your pet will too.”
About: I have 4 four dogs at home and have had dogs my entire life. I feed, bathe, and walk them. I love playing outside with them and working on training as well!

About: I’ve cared for cats for 30 years and understand that each one has their own unique personality. I’m calm, patient, and respectful of their space, whether they’re social and playful or more shy and independent. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats the attention they want (and space when they don’t). I also have cats of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I aim to create a calm, safe environment while you’re away.
About: I had 2 dogs, a chug and a red heeler. Currently I do not have any pets living with me. I worked on their potty training and some basic tricks! I am pretty flexible and have attention to detail. I will try not to deviate from your normal schedule to make your pet and you feel most comfortable. I am a full-time student so any time afterschool or weekends usually work for me. For my own dogs, I walk them twice a day and I am more than happy to follow whatever schedule you need me to. I also love going to the dog park and can take them as well. We have crate trained dogs at our apartment. They have a strict feeding schedule in which there is dehydrated food, meat patties, omega 3, plus allergy pills. I will treat your fur baby as my own.

“Diane was really informative and nice! She took my Mowgli in for daycare, although I had just requested her the day before. She wasn’t irritated at all although my furry buddy was already going potty as soon as he came through the gate! I LOVE the livestreaming! I kind of wish it was going on all day, just so I could check in every hour and just see how he is there since it’s so new. But we loved it. He came home worn out from playing. Thanks Diane!”

About: I am looking forward to caring for your pets! I grew up with very big dogs, German shepherds, Cane Corso, and Pitbulls, so I know how to properly give them the care they need. I am also great with small dogs and cats.

Whether that is a long walk or pets inside I will always be sure to communicate effectively, send you updates and photos. I will be mindful and focused on your pet at all times.
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I've handled different kinds of breeds. All dogs have different personalities and I've been able to adapt to all.

In my clients home, I make sure there are frequent potty breaks and playtime. I also make sure your house stays cleaned as far as toys & such.
About: PLEASE NOTE: if your dog has ever bit/attacked/acted aggressively towards a person for ANY reason, I will not be able to provide services to you at this time. I apologize and thank you for understanding. I have owned and adored many dogs and cats throughout my life. If a close friend were to describe me, they'd say "animal lover". I have volunteered for a local dog rescue and have hosted 10+ large breed dogs on the way to their forever home! I have experience giving pills, shots, baths and cuddles to cats and dogs alike. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I can create my own schedule at the moment, so going on walks and looking after your fur children is a palate cleanser for me! I am very respectful of your space and will keep it tidy. I am well equipped to water plants and always remember to lock doors behind me!
“Daisy is very punctual and professional! She took 5 good quality pictures and walked Karlee the farthest than the last 5 dog walkers! Karlee was wiped out ready for bed after the walk! Thank you so much!”
About: I got a puppy about 10 years ago, his name is Bailey and he was such a hyper dog so I went on many walks, I was solely responsible for taking care of him, like, feeding, grooming, walking, entertaining, and picking up after. I am a college student, I am open all day. I can do nights and early mornings, if needed, I am available to be at the visit for multiple hours Although I can’t hold animals in my home, I take amazing care of my own animals that I carry that with me to every visit because I feel animals deserve to be treated with the same amount of respect.

I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.
About: I’m a dedicated dog lover with hands on experience caring for friends’ and family dogs, as well as my own, using positive reinforcement at home. On walks, I focus on gentle, calm structure, making sure gear fits comfortably, reinforcing polite leash manners, and (if you’d like) practicing simple cues like “sit,” “wait,” and “leave it.” I’m patient with excited dogs and extra gentle with nervous pups, always prioritizing safety and giving plenty of space from other dogs and people when needed. Dogs who need extra space on leash are welcome, I’m comfortable with mild–moderate reactivity and I work at the dog’s comfort level using distance, calm handling, and positive reinforcement. You’ll get photo updates + a quick walk recap each visit, and meet & greets are always welcome. I’m available for dog walks Monday through Saturday, with flexible time blocks from morning to evening (6am–10pm). Sundays are my off day. I’m happy to work with one-time walks, weekly routines, and recurring midday potty breaks—whatever keeps your pup happiest and most consistent. Safety comes first on every walk. I double-check harness/collar fit, use secure leash handling, and stay alert to surroundings. I avoid on-leash greetings unless you request them, give dogs space from triggers, and keep walks calm and positive. I’ll follow your routine closely and send photo updates each visit.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since i was around 10. My friends and family can rely on me to watch, walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently have 2 dogs that are very loved and so spoiled. I am excited to meet your pet, I treat all animals as if they are my children and give them all the love and attention possible! *BOARDING AVAILABLE ONLY FRIDAY-SUNDAY* Im currently working a part time job so on my free time i would love to spend it taking care of your fur babies! My schedule is not consistent and is constantly changing but I do my best updating my availability on here. I have a pretty large backyard that is fenced. I also have 2 very friendly dogs. One is a labradoodle (male) and the other is a chihuahua/terrier mix.(female). If needed my dogs can be separated from your dogs or if you prefer your dog to to be in a crate i could gladly do that as well. If you are to book a boarding I do prefer to set up a meet and greet with our dogs before confirming it.

“Our guy has some special needs requiring meds, a strict diet, etc. Stephanie heard my concerns and asked all the right questions. It was easy to trust her. She and her family cared for our guy for several days/nights. They treated him like family tending to his needs and showering him with attention & fun. We look forward to the next time we turn Stephanie to support our guy's care.”
“Jennifer gave us updates regularly about how our pup was doing. She was very responsive and flexible with pick up and drop off times. Our dog had a great visit with her. Thanks !”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“Thank you so much for another wonderful stay. As always my pup comes home happy and healthy. He always has such a great time at Ana’s house!! He’s always so excited to come!! See you soon!”
“An is such an amazing woman! She was so sweet kept me updated about my puppy and everything they did together with photos! I will be coming back when we do need a pup sitter! She was very accommodating, and very helpful! Thank you so much girly!”
“Rana and David have been great taking care of my dog Luna a couple of times for an extended period of time. I can tell Luna enjoys her stay because she goes back happily. Very good job communicating and sending pictures. Thanks!”
“Nathan and family were great! Very communicative and our dog seemed right at home! Which is huge because she has high anxiety but she loved it with Nathan and crew. Will definitely be rebooking soon.”
About: 15 years of experience with dog sitting/walking. Discount may be give to repeat customers. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and some Russian in case you have limited English and feel comfortable using one of those. I have taken care of old dogs, puppies, dogs small, large, and In between too. I’m extremely responsible with ensuring your pet receives their medication as needed, if needed. I love to walk, but tailor my services to your dogs needs. Want me to have them socialize with my dog, done. Want me to keep the dogs separate, I can do that too. Message me and let me know what you need! Something that separates me from others: I understand some dogs are just vocal and not aggressive. I have experience sitting extremely vocal dogs who most people would think are aggressive, but really they just like to bark. Please disclose if your dog is not good around children when booking! Thank you and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I don’t discriminate based on gender, gender expression, religion, age, sexual orientation, race, or for any other reason. I welcome and respect all people and dogs Stay at home mom with a dog of my own, this allows me to adjust my daily schedule to your pets needs. I go on daily walks when it isn’t too hot. I have a fenced yard and a dog for your dog to socialize, but also have room to keep them separate if preferred. Dogs are fed as much and as often as requested by owner along with the amount of potty breaks. If the pet is house trained they are also allowed to be in the home. I love to give dogs treats so they can expect treats when they are over if approved by you!

About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. My family and I have so much fun dog boarding and I find it fulfilling to work as a dog sitter. Maybe I'll open up a unique pet services business one day 🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾 Pet care fits into my schedule when I am not working a full-time job. As I stated, I have 2 dogs of my own and spend a lot of time training them and taking care of their physical needs. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.
“My dog had her first overnight stay and it went well! My dog is usually a bit on the anxious side and was made absolutely comfortable. Very happy with the care my dog received. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Flor enough! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She sent daily updates, including pictures, which really gave me peace of mind. My dogs absolutely loved her, and I could tell they were well cared for and happy the whole time. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring, she’s the one! Will be booking again!”
“Marissa is terrific! We were so lucky to have our black lab, Mora, stay with her for two weeks. Marissa updated us regularly with pictures and descriptions of events. She also greatly helped with Nora’s skin irritation. Thank you, Marissa!”
“Nadine is the only one we trust with our dog. I drive from the bay area to Modesto just to take drop our pup off sometimes in hours of traffic. If that doesn't tell how good she is then idk what else will 😂”
“Tracey took on my 3 large and active dogs for over a week and provided the best care to them! She was communicative, caring, and provided us with peace of mind while away. We highly highly recommend her and her family to care for your beloved pets!!”
“Nestor, was patient kind and genuinely cared for my beautiful Josephine, even accommodated my reservation when I requested the day before, responded to all my messages and sent pictures which is great to see when I am away and wonder how my dog was doing , my dog ate, slept, and even made a new friend with Nestor and Nestor's dog. I definitely recommend and will reserve with Nestor again thank you Nestor!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I can remember. Currently live with 3 large, active breed dogs and 3, indoor/outdoor cats, and I love them! I am flexible and capable to meet the needs of all pets and owners! Starting May 16th, I am available week nights after 6 pm Monday-Friday and all day Saturdays and Sundays for both in-home pet sitting and/or walks. My schedule can change from time to time, so reach out and we may be able to work something out :) I have a fenced yard and 3 large breed dogs who are very active. I am comfortable caring for pets in various environments (house, apartment, etc.)
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.
