“I am very grateful to Shawna for boarding Brûlée while I was camping over the 4th of July holiday. From the moment I met her, it was clear that Shawna is a responsible and conscientious sitter. I could tell she would take care of Brûlée as if she were her own. Shawna has several cats, and I really appreciated the opportunity to board Brûlée with someone who has cats, especially since I wasn't sure how Brûlée would do in that situation—but she did great! Shawna created a calm and welcoming environment that allowed Brûlée to settle in quickly. Next time I need to board her, I’ll have complete trust and confidence in Shawna, which takes a huge weight off my mind.”
“Isaiah was great with Orion! He sent pics/videos every day and I love seeing those while I'm away. I know my pup had a great time because he was all tuckered out from having fun when I picked him up. Would definitely recommend Isaiah!”
“I needed to book on very short notice and was happy to find Ashley. She was very accommodating. Buster was well taken care of and had a great time playing with her daughter. I would certainly use her again and would highly recommend her. Thanks 😊”
“Aimee and her family are amazing with my dog! I get pictures while I am traveling, and fun stories to hear after I return. I already started talking to them about Bear’s next opportunity to stay! If your dog hasn’t met Flynn, you should book with them today!”
“Jean is super sweet and accommodating. She sent lots of photos and updates and took really great care of our border collies. Jean has a lovely space with a big, fenced backyard and two dogs of her own that are very friendly! I would definitely recommend and book again 🙂”
“Genae was amazing with Winnie! She sent pictures, kept me updated and was so patient with her the first few days as she was nervous and acclimating to her new environment. This gave Winnie a chance to socialize with a bunch of other dogs and I can tell she was well taken care of while I was gone!”
“Dylan is awesome! He is professional, responsive and very attentive to details of care provided to the doggos. I was impressed right off the bat and my boi Max seemed to really enjoy his time with Dylan. We look forward to future visits!”
“Nancy was incredibly accommodating! She took my senior dog in for a last minute boarding request and even kept him slightly over my requested pick-up time when I was stuck on the road. Nancy provided the ideal environment for my pup and sent me updates/pictures during his stay. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
About: Hi! A little about my pet-care experience: I’ve been caring for my own pets, as well as my neighbors’ animals, since I was a child. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and mice, and I also have some experience caring for cows and chickens. I’m comfortable administering medications to dogs, including pills, liquids, nasal drops, and topical medications. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, as I currently have two senior dogs of my own. I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that senior pets may need. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own! 🐾 I work from home and run an online business so I have plenty of time to checkin, play with, walk, and snuggle your fur babies. I am flexible with hours and open to a long term set schedule. I am open to caring for dogs in my home depending on size, breed, and demeanor. I have two small senior dogs who aren’t in the mood for high energy at this time in their life. I do have a fully fenced yard with grass, lots of shade, and a small doggy door to go in and out as they please (if they fit). I’m walking distance to the river trail and Caldwell Park. Please reach out for inquiries and questions regarding overnights. In your home, you can expect respect and care for your space and your animal(s). I will follow your instructions and cater to your animal(s) needs, whether that be walks, play time, medications administered, food, accident clean up, or snuggles..or possibly all of the above :)
“Jess was a wonderful host and her property is a perfect dog retreat. Jess sent regular updates and photos showing how happy my dog was. My dog got lots of exercise and attention. He loved hanging with her dog and her family. Jess also has a lot of dog experience as a breeder which I appreciated. Thank you so much Jess!”
“I feel so blessed to have found Carley! My pup Faith has special needs and I never leave her with anyone but Carley.. it's so wonderful to know that she is being taken care of just like she's at home with me, so I'm not worried and I can have fun. Faith loves her time when she gets to stay with Carley and her friends!”
About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. 🐾 I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have three dogs of my own, including Sage, whom I rescued, and I’ve also cared for a rescued cat for several years. Living with multiple pets has given me plenty of experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, keeping pets on their normal routines, and providing plenty of companionship and attention. I understand how important consistency and patience are, especially when a pet is in a new environment or away from their family. I currently work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any specific instructions you provide, because I know every pet is different. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and respect I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱🤎 I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and am happy to welcome your furry friends into my routine. I’m available weekdays and weekends, with plenty of time to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. 🐾🤎 Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in your home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs who enjoy having company. I’m also an active person and would love to take your pup on walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention while following their normal routine and your care instructions. 🐾🤎
About: I grew up on a farm in the mountains. It introduced my love and experience for animals and the immense gratification involved. Since moving away I have took in many animals both to do my part personally in my home and giving the opportunity for others to have the same by rehabbing, sheltering and finding their forever homes. It has always been my dream to open a shelter, or even more fun a cat cafe. I am excited for the opportunity to share my love with your furbabies and am appreciative for the consideration. I am an entrepreneur from home so my schedule is very open. I am aware how hectic life can be and hope to take some of that weight off your shoulders. My cats are spoiled rotten. They are given wet food once a day on top of their dry food. They have their own room full of windows, an electric litter box and a door to their massive catio outside. As well as access to the rest of the home as given. They are given medications as needed and I use Dutch vet service to assist in staying on top of their general health. When it comes to your animals I will offer the same love and attention as I give mine while following the regimens given. As far as watching your animals in my home it will vary according to the needs and comfort of the animals I am watching.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have over 20 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I truly love animals and understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide lots of attention, affection, playtime, daily walks, and outdoor time in our large, securely fenced backyard. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and care routine so they can feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Your dog will be treated like part of our family while they’re here. I currently work as a substitute teacher about 1–2 days per week, so I am home most days and evenings. This gives me plenty of time to give your dog lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and exercise. I also plan to take dogs in my care on a daily walk and make sure they get plenty of love and attention throughout their stay. I have a large, securely fenced backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and enjoy time outside. I also have friendly dogs of my own, so visiting dogs can have companionship and playtime when appropriate. I will always follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and care routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to accommodate crates if needed and will make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while staying with us.
“We cannot recommend Jared highly enough. From our very first interaction, his attention to detail and professionalism set him apart. He took the time to ask thoughtful, specific questions about our dog’s routines, preferences, quirks, and health history—everything from feeding schedules and portion sizes to behavioral cues and comfort habits. It was clear he wasn’t just “watching a dog”; they were committed to understanding and caring for our dog. Communication was exceptional throughout. We received consistent updates—photos, positive words about our dog’s behavior and how much he enjoyed watching our dog. Every message reassured us that our dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and engaged. His knowledge of dog care was evident in both small and significant ways. He demonstrated confidence in handling, situational awareness on walks, and an understanding of canine behavior that gave us complete peace of mind. He was proactive rather than reactive, anticipating needs before they became issues. Our dog can be particular, yet he adapted seamlessly and respected established routines while building trust. What truly stood out was his authenticity. There was nothing transactional about his care—it was thoughtful, warm, and sincere. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and that sincerity showed in every interaction. If you are looking for someone who blends professionalism, knowledge, attentiveness, and heartfelt care, his is extraordinary. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found him and highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for multiple pets at once, including different breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I work remotely, which means your pet will have constant supervision, and attention throughout the day. I treat every pet how I would want mine treated and strive to provide a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home and have for over 5 years. This allowed the time to really watch over your pet and being able to handle anything they need. I have a fenced in small back yard. My apartment also offers locations to walk dogs and allow them to poop and get some extra room.
“Jennifer is really nice and accommodating. She even took care of our pit Jada with short notice. She provided daily updates for Jada including photos of their activities. We found the perfect dogsitter for Jada in the Redding area, and we look forward to her dogsitting Jada in the near future. Thanks again Jennifer!”
“I felt 100% safe leaving my dogs with Alison while on a 2 week trip. The dogs immediately loved her, her property, and her dogs. Alison was great about sending updates, and immediately took care of an issue when Remi got sick after finding treasure in the kitty litter box (I had forgotten to warn her that my pups think it’s a candy box. 😜) I will leave the dogs with Alison again without hesitation.”
About: I grew up with dogs. I have been living in a house now with 4 Shih Tzus ranging from 1.5 years old up to 16. I've gone through potty training all the way to eye drops. I am also owned by 5 cats so I am well versed in litter boxes and finicky eaters. I work full time Saturday through Wednesdays from 7am to 3pm. My housemate and partner works Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. There is almost always someone home to take care of the dogs. It is no issue for me to stop by before and after work for potties and so on. I am pretty much a low key person so hanging with the fur kids is about as exciting as I get. When I am sitting in someone's house I like to spend time with the pet. I make sure that when I leave the house I secure the doors, windows, etc. I am respectful of belongings and space. I like to make the fur kids feel like nothing is all that different as much as possible. If I'm just dropping in for walks/potty time I like to spend time with them for their comfort and stimulation. I'll make sure water is refreshed and food is full and boxes are emptied.
About: I have had a dog since I was born. I started caring for my dog by the age of five. Then, I did overnights with a diabetic dog, with whom I had to administer medicine. Now, I have two dogs of my own who are very special. I currently work from home, so pet care fits in seamlessly with my routine. I also have a fenced-in yard, so potty breaks can be taken frequently. I am very attentive with care for pets in my home, and I’m my clients home. I always ensure there is fresh food and water. I make sure they have toys or chew toys to keep them occupied. I am always available to take time to play, and go on potty breaks.

“Randallyn takes such great care of my cats that I do not think twice about having to leave them behind, and I never worry about them while I am gone. She is reliable and communicative - the best attributes in a pet sitter! I have a long trip planned in a few months and am already looking to book with Randallyn again!”

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. I have a Siamese cat of my own, so I know how important it is to provide patient, loving care while respecting their individual needs. Whether your cat is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, and giving plenty of affection—always at your cat’s pace. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your feline family member is happy, relaxed, and in caring hands. I treat every cat as if they were my own and look forward to giving them the love and attention they deserve.
“If you’re looking for someone who’s very reliable and trustworthy with pets, Melissa is your person! My husband and I have used to her a few times while we have been out of town to give our 16 year old kitty her daily blood pressure medicine. Not only is she friendly and responsive towards people as well as reliable. She’s patient and kind with pets. My 16 year old girl who’s normally shy around strangers was at first shy around Melissa but has since warmed up that when it isn’t med time, she will greet her and let Melissa pet her for a few seconds (as is her nature she isn’t a kitty that likes being touched in general unless it’s on her terms) Melissa has her own two pets which I think helps with knowing how to read animal body language but also helps animals eventually trust her. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter for the things I’ve asked of Melissa while we are away, if you ask politely and remember she to is a person. She delivers exceptionally!! Would definitely recommend her, but would also use her for future dates if applicable with her schedule.”
About: I bring six years of experience as a veterinary professional to every cat sitting engagement, offering a level of care informed by hands-on clinical experience. During my time in veterinary medicine, I developed a strong understanding of feline health, behavior, and welfare — from routine wellness visits to the more delicate needs of anxious or unwell patients. This professional background is complemented by personal experience as a devoted cat owner. My own strong-willed cat has given me valuable insight into feline temperament and the individualized attention each cat requires to feel safe and comfortable. Clients can expect attentive, informed, and compassionate care rooted in both medical knowledge and genuine affection for cats. I am committed to ensuring your cat's comfort, safety, and well-being while you are away.
About: Very well, experienced in dog training techniques, pet store etiquette, a variety of small pet needs, as well as, infant, elderly & service animal special care. I’m an early riser with a balanced indoor/ outdoor schedule- perfect for animal health. Mornings & afternoon exercise play a large part in my active lifestyle here, too! This property also sits across the street from several beautiful trails that I explore frequently, though, our personal wooded acreage is welcomed to furry guests, too. We have two cats that are very friendly & open to other company, though can easily be separated depending on your personal needs. We also offer spare rooms to customize for their temporary stay. Wind-down times are in place before bedtimes, though there’s rarely been an animal that wasn’t exhausted after a good day here!
About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been part of my world—feeding chickens before breakfast, brushing horses after school, and getting covered in dog hair in between! I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I’ve always had an easy, natural connection with animals. They seem to sense that I’m one of the good ones. I’m great at picking up on their vibes—whether they’re in the mood to zoom around or just want some chill cuddle time. Taking care of animals is second nature to me, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I live a flexible lifestyle and am fully available to care for your pets. Since I’m not tied to a traditional job or schedule, I can offer your fur babies lots of time, attention, and consistency. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here to help and happy to adapt to your routine. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment wherever I’m staying. I care for pets in their own familiar space, which helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your home, and can adapt to any special needs your pet may have—whether that means crating, administering medication, or extra cuddle time.
About: I've taken care of my own kitty all by myself since I was 10 years old, and many neighbors have relied on me to care for their cats while they're away. Growing up with mine has given me an intuitive understanding of feline body language that will help your pets feel safe & respected while you're away. I like to make plenty of time for both play and snuggles, and I am very attentive to the cleanliness of their spaces—dishes, litterboxes etc.
“Jennifer is a very kind, understanding person who takes pride in caring for animals. She was very communicative, sent us updates and photos of our fur baby Mia and showed compassion! Definitely looking forward to having her care for our fur baby again in the future. Thank you again!”

“While traveling through the area and we needed a sitter for our puppy for the day. Shawna was very warm and welcoming to us an our puppy.

Will definitely intrust our dogs care with Shawna again when future sittings are needed.”
“Nancy was wonderful with my husky Nala. Her dogs played great and had Nala all tired out when she got home in the evening. There was great communication and Nancy sent wonderful photos and videos throughout the day. I knew my fur baby is in great hands while at daycare with Nancy.”
“Dylan was absolutely wonderful with Charlie. He accepted him right away during our meet‑and‑greet, which instantly put me at ease. He’s incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, attentive to details, and genuinely easy to talk to. Charlie had a great time with him and the other dogs — he came home happy and relaxed. Dylan’s home is clean, organized, and clearly set up with care. His wife Julie was also very supportive and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’m so glad I found them. I highly recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

About: I have hands‑on experience caring for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. My approach is calm, observant, and patient — I let each pet set the pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable from the moment I arrive. For cats, I’m especially familiar with senior care, mobility challenges, and monitoring litter box habits. I’m comfortable supporting shy or anxious cats, administering oral medications, and keeping a clean, low‑stress environment. I also have light medical experience specifically with cats like giving prescription injections and giving subcutaneous fluids when needed and directed by a vet. For dogs, I’m experienced with structured routines, leash handling, feeding schedules, and reading body language to keep walks and visits smooth and positive. I’m attentive to energy levels, comfort cues, and any changes in behavior. I have an enclosed backyard for outside time if they like, and a great walking path in the neighborhood for walks. I’m reliable, detail‑oriented, and committed to giving every pet the same level of care and respect I give my own. You’ll receive clear updates, honest communication, and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Whether your pet is playful, independent, senior, or needs a little extra support, I’m here to provide steady, worry‑free care tailored to their needs. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling. I can be available for full time or part time, one time or several. Just talk to me about my availability I provide calm, attentive, and safety‑focused care whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine. My goal is always to create a predictable, low‑stress environment where your pet feels secure and understood. In your home: I follow your routines exactly as you describe them, feeding schedules, walking routes, litter box setup, household rules, and any special instructions. I keep doors and gates secured, double‑check that pets can’t slip out, and maintain a clean environment throughout each visit. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and comfort so I can spot changes early and communicate them to you. For cats: I move slowly, respect boundaries, and let them approach on their terms. I’m experienced with senior cats, mobility challenges, and monitoring litter box habits. I keep their space tidy, refresh water and food carefully, and maintain a calm atmosphere that helps shy or anxious cats feel safe. For dogs: I use steady, confident leash handling, stick to familiar walking routes, and avoid overstimulation. I watch body language closely, support positive behavior, and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and comfort. Safety is always the priority, secure harnesses, controlled entrances/exits, and mindful interactions. Communication & trust: You’ll receive clear updates, honest notes, and photos every visit, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own, and I work to make each visit predictable, safe, and worry‑free.

Also professionally trained with many more kinds of creatures including medication management of birds, turtles, etc. My ultimate goal is to become an animal therapist.

About: Hi, I’m Ariyana! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised around both dogs and cats, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with pets of all ages. I enjoy working with puppies and kittens, helping reinforce good manners, basic obedience, potty training, leash skills, and positive routines. I understand that young pets require patience, consistency, and lots of encouragement, and I love being part of their learning process. I also have extensive experience caring for senior pets. I’m comfortable with slower walks, administering medications (if needed), accommodating mobility limitations, following special feeding schedules, and giving older pets the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they deserve. I know how important it is to keep their routine consistent and stress-free.

Although I work full-time, I make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve.

About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been part of my world—feeding chickens before breakfast, brushing horses after school, and getting covered in dog hair in between! I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I’ve always had an easy, natural connection with animals. They seem to sense that I’m one of the good ones. I’m great at picking up on their vibes—whether they’re in the mood to zoom around or just want some chill cuddle time. Taking care of animals is second nature to me, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I live a flexible lifestyle and am fully available to care for your pets. Since I’m not tied to a traditional job or schedule, I can offer your fur babies lots of time, attention, and consistency. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here to help and happy to adapt to your routine. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment wherever I’m staying. I care for pets in their own familiar space, which helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your home, and can adapt to any special needs your pet may have—whether that means crating, administering medication, or extra cuddle time.

“I am very grateful to Shawna for boarding Brûlée while I was camping over the 4th of July holiday. From the moment I met her, it was clear that Shawna is a responsible and conscientious sitter. I could tell she would take care of Brûlée as if she were her own. Shawna has several cats, and I really appreciated the opportunity to board Brûlée with someone who has cats, especially since I wasn't sure how Brûlée would do in that situation—but she did great! Shawna created a calm and welcoming environment that allowed Brûlée to settle in quickly. Next time I need to board her, I’ll have complete trust and confidence in Shawna, which takes a huge weight off my mind.”
“Isaiah was great with Orion! He sent pics/videos every day and I love seeing those while I'm away. I know my pup had a great time because he was all tuckered out from having fun when I picked him up. Would definitely recommend Isaiah!”
“I needed to book on very short notice and was happy to find Ashley. She was very accommodating. Buster was well taken care of and had a great time playing with her daughter. I would certainly use her again and would highly recommend her. Thanks 😊”
“Aimee and her family are amazing with my dog! I get pictures while I am traveling, and fun stories to hear after I return. I already started talking to them about Bear’s next opportunity to stay! If your dog hasn’t met Flynn, you should book with them today!”
“Jean is super sweet and accommodating. She sent lots of photos and updates and took really great care of our border collies. Jean has a lovely space with a big, fenced backyard and two dogs of her own that are very friendly! I would definitely recommend and book again 🙂”
“Dylan is awesome! He is professional, responsive and very attentive to details of care provided to the doggos. I was impressed right off the bat and my boi Max seemed to really enjoy his time with Dylan. We look forward to future visits!”
“Nancy was incredibly accommodating! She took my senior dog in for a last minute boarding request and even kept him slightly over my requested pick-up time when I was stuck on the road. Nancy provided the ideal environment for my pup and sent me updates/pictures during his stay. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Jess was a wonderful host and her property is a perfect dog retreat. Jess sent regular updates and photos showing how happy my dog was. My dog got lots of exercise and attention. He loved hanging with her dog and her family. Jess also has a lot of dog experience as a breeder which I appreciated. Thank you so much Jess!”
“I feel so blessed to have found Carley! My pup Faith has special needs and I never leave her with anyone but Carley.. it's so wonderful to know that she is being taken care of just like she's at home with me, so I'm not worried and I can have fun. Faith loves her time when she gets to stay with Carley and her friends!”
About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. 🐾 I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have three dogs of my own, including Sage, whom I rescued, and I’ve also cared for a rescued cat for several years. Living with multiple pets has given me plenty of experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, keeping pets on their normal routines, and providing plenty of companionship and attention. I understand how important consistency and patience are, especially when a pet is in a new environment or away from their family. I currently work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any specific instructions you provide, because I know every pet is different. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and respect I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱🤎 I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and am happy to welcome your furry friends into my routine. I’m available weekdays and weekends, with plenty of time to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. 🐾🤎 Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in your home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs who enjoy having company. I’m also an active person and would love to take your pup on walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention while following their normal routine and your care instructions. 🐾🤎
About: I grew up on a farm in the mountains. It introduced my love and experience for animals and the immense gratification involved. Since moving away I have took in many animals both to do my part personally in my home and giving the opportunity for others to have the same by rehabbing, sheltering and finding their forever homes. It has always been my dream to open a shelter, or even more fun a cat cafe. I am excited for the opportunity to share my love with your furbabies and am appreciative for the consideration. I am an entrepreneur from home so my schedule is very open. I am aware how hectic life can be and hope to take some of that weight off your shoulders. My cats are spoiled rotten. They are given wet food once a day on top of their dry food. They have their own room full of windows, an electric litter box and a door to their massive catio outside. As well as access to the rest of the home as given. They are given medications as needed and I use Dutch vet service to assist in staying on top of their general health. When it comes to your animals I will offer the same love and attention as I give mine while following the regimens given. As far as watching your animals in my home it will vary according to the needs and comfort of the animals I am watching.
“Jason did an amazing job watching my bully Charley, he kept me update on all activities and sent tons of photos of their adventures. I felt very at ease knowing my dog was in great hands! Thank you again for best dog watcher we have ever had!!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have over 20 years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I truly love animals and understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide lots of attention, affection, playtime, daily walks, and outdoor time in our large, securely fenced backyard. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and care routine so they can feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Your dog will be treated like part of our family while they’re here. I currently work as a substitute teacher about 1–2 days per week, so I am home most days and evenings. This gives me plenty of time to give your dog lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and exercise. I also plan to take dogs in my care on a daily walk and make sure they get plenty of love and attention throughout their stay. I have a large, securely fenced backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and enjoy time outside. I also have friendly dogs of my own, so visiting dogs can have companionship and playtime when appropriate. I will always follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, and care routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to accommodate crates if needed and will make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while staying with us.
“We cannot recommend Jared highly enough. From our very first interaction, his attention to detail and professionalism set him apart. He took the time to ask thoughtful, specific questions about our dog’s routines, preferences, quirks, and health history—everything from feeding schedules and portion sizes to behavioral cues and comfort habits. It was clear he wasn’t just “watching a dog”; they were committed to understanding and caring for our dog. Communication was exceptional throughout. We received consistent updates—photos, positive words about our dog’s behavior and how much he enjoyed watching our dog. Every message reassured us that our dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and engaged. His knowledge of dog care was evident in both small and significant ways. He demonstrated confidence in handling, situational awareness on walks, and an understanding of canine behavior that gave us complete peace of mind. He was proactive rather than reactive, anticipating needs before they became issues. Our dog can be particular, yet he adapted seamlessly and respected established routines while building trust. What truly stood out was his authenticity. There was nothing transactional about his care—it was thoughtful, warm, and sincere. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and that sincerity showed in every interaction. If you are looking for someone who blends professionalism, knowledge, attentiveness, and heartfelt care, his is extraordinary. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found him and highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for multiple pets at once, including different breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I work remotely, which means your pet will have constant supervision, and attention throughout the day. I treat every pet how I would want mine treated and strive to provide a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home and have for over 5 years. This allowed the time to really watch over your pet and being able to handle anything they need. I have a fenced in small back yard. My apartment also offers locations to walk dogs and allow them to poop and get some extra room.
“Jennifer is really nice and accommodating. She even took care of our pit Jada with short notice. She provided daily updates for Jada including photos of their activities. We found the perfect dogsitter for Jada in the Redding area, and we look forward to her dogsitting Jada in the near future. Thanks again Jennifer!”
“I felt 100% safe leaving my dogs with Alison while on a 2 week trip. The dogs immediately loved her, her property, and her dogs. Alison was great about sending updates, and immediately took care of an issue when Remi got sick after finding treasure in the kitty litter box (I had forgotten to warn her that my pups think it’s a candy box. 😜) I will leave the dogs with Alison again without hesitation.”
About: I have years of experience with my personal animals along with friends, I care for animals as if they were my own. They get the rule of the roost, and sleep in my bed! I often work 4 days a week so I have the long weekends to pet sit. If you need during the week it’s possible, as I have a doggy door and a 6 foot-dug into the ground fence, but would need to be the right fit while I’m at work, I have cameras to check on them too. Pets will get ample play time, walk/run and couch time too. The dog door is helpful once they figure it out, they can come and go as they please.
