“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!

My wife was worried before we met Mayra and my wife's concerns that we would find someone caring disappeared after we met with Myra to give her the key and go over where things were. I don't think anyone could find a finer caretaker for their pets than Mayra. We highly recommend her for future visits, and we will definitely contact her in the future when we need her assistance.”

About: I’m a full time registered veterinary technician. I’m mostly available during the weekend. During the week I’m available after work on the weekdays. I have four animals in my home, two dogs, two cats, and sometimes fosters. animals in general are my passion. I’d rather much spend my days with animals than anything else. Luckily, I’m able to do that everyday. My everyday job really is rewarding when I see patients leaving feeling so much better than when they came in. In ten years I imagine myself having about 100 dogs. I do work a full time veterinary job so I am available for care before and after work. I have a few regulars that I care for and am always open to more. I will always care for your animal like my own. Clean and caring environment. My animals have several places to be comfortable, are fed appropriate diets, comfortable temperatures, and lots of love.

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: Cats have always held a special place in my heart! I currently have five of my own, all with very different personalities, so I know firsthand that no two cats are alike. My experience with feline care goes back many years, including volunteering and completing an internship at a nonprofit cat shelter and spay/neuter clinic. I’ve also worked in animal rescue and Animal Control, giving me experience handling cats with a wide range of temperaments, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. I’m comfortable caring for everything from outgoing, affectionate cats to shy, fearful, or less socialized kitties who need extra patience. I have experience with feline behavior, enrichment, administering medications, basic grooming, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. At home, we do have five large dogs who live very happily alongside our cats! All of our dogs are extremely cat-friendly and accustomed to sharing their home with feline family members. That said, I’m a firm believer that even the most cat-safe dogs should never be left unsupervised with cats. All of our dogs are kenneled whenever we leave the house, ensuring our cats always have a safe environment. Our home is also set up with plenty of baby gates, cat trees, wall-mounted shelves, and elevated spaces so the cats always have somewhere to retreat when they want a little peace and quiet. We believe cats should always have the ability to choose whether or not they want to interact with other animals. For cats who prefer their own space, we also have the option of setting them up in our home office, complete with a comfortable couch, recliner, and plenty of room to relax. This allows us to provide an entirely separate space with zero interaction with our resident pets if that’s what you or your kitty would prefer! I understand that cats are creatures of habit, and I prioritize maintaining their routines while respecting their boundaries. Whether your cat wants endless affection, interactive playtime, or simply someone to refill their food and quietly coexist with them, I’m happy to follow their lead. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they’re in experienced hands. 🐈

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal enthusiast with an intuitive understanding of furry, scaly, and feathered friends.

Thanks to my time working in a pet store and years of loving my own birds, reptiles, spiders, and scorpions. I know how to adapt my care to make any pet feel safe and understood. Every animal deserves a gentle hand and a comforting presence. I can't wait to treat your family like my own.

About: I’ve had pets since I was very young and have been caring for my own four cats for a few years. I also have experience with dogs and have had my own while growing up. While I don’t currently have one, since I knew I would be moving over the next few years, I would love to bring my experience and affection into your home for your furry companions. The dog pictured is my Mom’s. He loves when I visit and is always down for cuddles and a walk I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet making sure they’re loved, fed, and groomed during any absence or as a helping hand. I work sparingly at this time and can devote myself to providing for your routine. I’m responsible and flexible, making sure your pets needs are met during routine visits. I want nothing more than for my clients to know their fur babies are cared for and regularly checked on.

My home has a fully fenced yard, plus two separate fenced areas just for small dogs and large dogs, so I can provide a safe and comfortable setup based on your pup’s needs. I’m calm, patient, reliable and attentive, and I truly care for every dog like they matter because they do! Friends and family know me as a wonderful dog caretaker and with 5 dogs of my own, loving and managing dogs is simply part of who I am. If you’re a nervous pet parent, no worries here!

“Nelson did such a great job watching my fur baby! I am super protective over my 3 year old Siberian Husky & Nelson provided picture updates of my dog throughout the stay. His home is a very safe space & he allowed my dog to feel comfortable& at home. My dog was so happy AND tired out! He wasn’t thirsty or hungry, he was well loved & cared for and received the exercise he needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone & definitely will be coming back!!”

About: My work with animals started when I was just 10 years old, volunteering at a family friend’s dog daycare. What began as a childhood passion turned into over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and temperaments! Over the years, I’ve worked at several dog daycares, volunteered with shelters and rescue organizations, completed an internship at a nonprofit feline shelter and spay/neuter clinic, and worked as an Animal Control Officer. I also have experience in animal behavior and training, with a particular interest in behavioral rehabilitation, socialization, and working with dogs who need a little extra patience or understanding. I remain heavily involved in animal rescue, particularly with Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, and regularly help foster, evaluate, and rehabilitate dogs in need. At home, my husband and I have quite the little zoo! Our family includes five large dogs (four Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd), five cats, and some exotic pets. Having such a diverse household has given me extensive experience with different species, personalities, care requirements, and the importance of safely managing a multi-animal home. I’m also trained in pet CPR and first aid, have experience with pet nutrition, and offer basic grooming care, including bathing, nail trims, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior animals, and accommodating pets with special needs or behavioral quirks. I understand that every animal is an individual. Some want to spend the day playing, exploring, and staying active, while others would much rather curl up on the couch and enjoy some company. My goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while you’re away. Whether that means extra exercise, enrichment activities, maintaining their usual routine, or making room for one more in bed, I’m happy to accommodate! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your animals, especially when they have unique needs. As someone with a houseful of my own, I completely understand. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. A little note for fellow pet professionals: I’m always open to discussing reciprocal pet care arrangements with other experienced, qualified, and trustworthy sitters. Sometimes the best support system is another animal person who understands exactly what goes into caring for our four-legged (and occasionally eight-legged!) family members. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 I’m fortunate to work from home while continuing my education and pursuing a career in nursing! I work on-call, after-hours shifts in healthcare, which allows me to remain home for the majority of my workday. Occasionally, I need to step out briefly to see a patient, but these visits are typically short, and pets are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the animals in my care, providing regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, and lots of attention. Caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life, so welcoming a few extra furry friends fits naturally into our routine! Safety is always my number one priority when caring for animals! With my background in Animal Control, animal behavior, training, and rescue, I’ve learned just how important it is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every pet, regardless of their personality or needs. Our home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore. We also have spare bedrooms, extra crates and kennels, baby gates, and designated spaces that allow us to accommodate different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet enjoys socializing with other animals or would prefer their own quiet space, we’re happy to make accommodations! We’re very intentional about preventing accidents. Food, medications, cleaning supplies, and other potentially hazardous items are kept securely stored to prevent accidental ingestion. Pets are supervised during outdoor activities and interactions with other animals, and we never force introductions or allow unsupervised interactions between resident pets and guests. Our own dogs are crate-trained, which allows us to safely separate everyone whenever necessary. One of the biggest benefits of our household is that someone is almost always home! On the rare occasion we both need to step out, we make sure every animal is safely secured in an appropriate space. I’m also happy to accommodate crate routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions your pet may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same approach while respecting their established routines and environment. I make sure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are handled appropriately, and pets receive the attention, exercise, and supervision they’re accustomed to. I understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big deal. As someone with a houseful of animals myself, I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re safe. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to detail that I expect for my own animals, while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way!

About: I have been caring for animals all my life, on both sides of my family. I primarily grew up with dogs (of all shapes, sizes, and breeds), but I have grown to love cats just as much. I have experience caring for several animals simultaneously, including both cats and dogs. 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!

Brian is a great and patient dog walker, especially with larger dogs and those that have a tendency to pull. We have about 10 regular dog and house sitting clients that can provide references including friends and neighbors. We love having getting outside and will happily take your pups on walks or to the park.

We have our own reliable transportation and have previously trained our own pets to do different tricks (even Guinea pigs!) and would be happy to provide that structure to your animals as well. As a graduate student, I can frequently set my own schedule week to week and Brian works from home so your pet will have company! I walk my dog every morning and would love to make it a pack walk!

About: There’s nothing I won’t do for my dogs and I will treat your fur baby/ babies the same. I am reliable with a strong background caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve handled everything from high energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I prioritize safety, love, and playtime. I always provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. I know what it feels like to miss your dogs throughout the day or on trips so I can assure you, you will receive as many photos and updates as possible! I’m currently working until 7pm on weekdays, with as many breaks in between as my job is very flexible in how I take my various breaks. I wake up early for my morning workouts so if early boarding or walks are needed I’d be more than happy to accommodate! I have a fenced backyard in my home and 2 dogs who are friendly and love to cuddle as well as play. I can easily crate your dog if need be and provide multiple walks and belly rubs.

With my background in Animal Control, animal behavior, training, and rescue, I’ve learned just how important it is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every pet, regardless of their personality or needs. Our home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore. We also have spare bedrooms, extra crates and kennels, baby gates, and designated spaces that allow us to accommodate different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet enjoys socializing with other animals or would prefer their own quiet space, we’re happy to make accommodations! We’re very intentional about preventing accidents. Food, medications, cleaning supplies, and other potentially hazardous items are kept securely stored to prevent accidental ingestion. Pets are supervised during outdoor activities and interactions with other animals, and we never force introductions or allow unsupervised interactions between resident pets and guests. Our own dogs are crate-trained, which allows us to safely separate everyone whenever necessary. One of the biggest benefits of our household is that someone is almost always home! On the rare occasion we both need to step out, we make sure every animal is safely secured in an appropriate space. I’m also happy to accommodate crate routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions your pet may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same approach while respecting their established routines and environment. I make sure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are handled appropriately, and pets receive the attention, exercise, and supervision they’re accustomed to. I understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big deal. As someone with a houseful of animals myself, I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re safe. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to detail that I expect for my own animals, while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way!

About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection. I also love baking homemade healthy snacks for pets and enjoy learning new ways to ensure your pet is happy. For the next three months, my schedule is flexible. I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was around 10 years old. I grew up with two Cane Corsos and a miniature poodle, so I’ve always been around both large and small dogs with completely different personalities and needs. I helped care for them daily by feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, playing with them, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved. Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I = love getting to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and calm, or super affectionate. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and larger breeds, and I always try to match each pet’s routine so they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I also know how important communication is for pet owners, so I love sending photo updates and making sure owners feel confident that their pets are being well cared for and getting lots of attention, love, and playtime while they’re away! I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m generally available during mornings and afternoons after 2 PM on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends for boarding, walks, playtime, and overnight care. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, I love making pet care part of my daily routine. I make sure every dog gets lots of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while helping them feel comfortable and at home! My home in Atwater is very dog friendly and made to be a safe, comfortable environment for pets to stay in. I have both a fenced front yard and fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of secure outdoor space to play, relax, and get fresh air throughout the day. My home also has wood flooring throughout, which helps keep the space clean and comfortable for pets.

About: Animal care has always been a passion of mine. Currently taking care of a pack of French Bulldogs Growing up I had 5-6 dogs I was responsible for feeding,grooming, exercising ect. Professionally I have worked in kennels for about 6-8years, ranging in groups of 2-50. As a kennel technician I was responsible for maintaining a leveled space for everyone to play and exercise or even relax. I do have experience in medication administration, oral, topical, rectum, shots. I have also a year of being a veterinary assistant which is what I'm currently pursuing and absolutely love it. My schedule is wide open currently! I just moved back to the Central Valley and I'm flexible. I have school online for Veterinary Technology and have started school for LVN as well. While doing a house sitting or drop-in, I always greet the animals check food and water bowls, make my way to the yard and ALWAYS check the yard before letting out animals. I will walk around the house to make sure there were no accidents or anything out of sorts really. I make sure doors are closed that need to be and always give the love that's needed.

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!

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: Animals are my thing. I have dogs, cats, chickens, birds, and sheep, many who are rescues, and I love them all. I have been taking care of animals ever since I was a young child and thought about becoming a vet, but I became a teacher instead. I am off work for the summer and many of my weekends are free now that my children are all teens and above. I am located conveniently near the 145 and highway 41 in the Madera Ranchos. On your way to Yosemite? Going to have some family time in Fresno? I’ll take care of your pet for you. Your dog will join the pack for its stay and relax or play on the 2 acres of fenced in land. I’m a teacher so I have open availability in the summer and on most weekends. I can check in on your pets in the afternoons or evenings when I’m working. I have 2 acres of fenced in yard. I also offer the dogs time to cool off in the pool and a large house to hang out in. If you want me to drop in on your pets at your home in the afternoons and weekends, I can do that too.
