“Wenchi was very caring and attentive to my cat- sent me lots of pictures everyday so I was never worried about her. Perfect transitions of dropping off and picking her up- my vacation was much more relaxing knowing that my cat was safe and sound. Thank you!! I will definitely be booking again in the future 😸”
“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Achara is the best. Hudson has spent several long weekends with her now and he is more excited to see her and her family at drop off than to see us at pick up! A great sign that he feels right at home there. Achara is always really easy to communicate with, sending photos and updates throughout his stay - in fact most recently she helped us coordinate a last minute pickup as we were heading to the hospital to have a baby! Couldn’t recommend her highly enough as a loving home for our fur baby when we’re away.”
“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”
“Valerie is a caring and attentive pet sitter for our dog Cali. She gave Cali her medications on time and took her on daily walks. Valerie took great care of Cali, I really appreciated the daily pictures and prompt messages. I would definitely book Valerie to care for our pets.”
“Marya sent pictures often showing both dogs having a good time and playing. Our daughter picked them up and said the dogs were happy and taking a walk. Thanks Marya for taking great care of the pups. They will see you in a few days.”
“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“Kazue was amazing! We left for a 7 day cruise with limited access to our phones. It was nice to come back to our phone with lots of pictures and updates about Potato. Being away from our dog for over a week, we knew he was in great care. Thank you!!”
“Yifang was able to board Todd on short notice. She was friendly and her place was clean and secured. Todd was relaxed even though it was his first time there, and he had a great stay at her home. Yifang kept me updated with pictures and messages! Five stars for her.”
“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”
“Thank you for watching our Doxie while we were away for the weekend. We were so happy to see pictures of him having fun and hanging out with other dogs. We would be happy to have him hangout with you next time we are out of town which may be really soon!”
“Sade is great and responded to a last minute request. She was communicative, and she responses very quickly. Her home is organized and clean, and her two fur babies are adorable. Trina stayed with her for one night and was well taken care of. I would come back again, thanks Sade!”
“Erica was amazing with my pup! She was patient and understanding. She was very flexible with me and Wren and I felt very comfortable with her the first time we met! I will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”
“My doggo had a great weekend! I recieved frequent updates and pictures! He seemed very cozy there, I'll defiently bring him back next time I need a boarding in the area!!”
“My pup received wonderful love and care from Marie & James. I received photos and videos at least twice a day. Will trust them again with my doggy when we travel.”
“Irina was communicative throughout the entire process. I had to make a last minute change and include my senior pug for boarding and she was responsive and helpful. My senior pug has to take medication twice daily and Irina made sure to be on top of it. My pugs looked happy and well taken care of while I was gone. Irina sent me videos and pictures of my pugs which made me feel comfortable and it was good to see their little tails wagging while I was gone. Thank you Irina.”

About: My whole life I've had cats, so of course they're my favorite animal! I have 10 years of experience pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I also have extensive experience caring for my own cat with medical needs, and am willing to learn how to care for cats from all backgrounds.
“She was amazing! Took the best pictures and made me feel comfortable the whole time leaving my fur baby alone. She works at sweeties vet so it was double the comfort knowing she knew her health history. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Suhani did a great job on her drop-in visit for our cat to ensure his food, water, and bedding were are replenished and comfortable. Suhani’s punctuality and communication skills were also great - timely and helpful.”
“Sophia continues to be our top choice for a cat sitter! She is super communicative, responsible and our cat loves her. She even left a sweet note from our cat when we got home that our kids loved!”
“Megan was fantastic with my cat Norman. Norman is a diabetic cat who can be aggressive with strangers when they try to give insulin, so it's often tough to find sitters who can manage him. I was so happy with how patient and compassionate Megan was with him. She was extremely reliable and a great communicator, and was able to make sure he got his insulin on time everyday. I would really highly recommend Megan, you can definitely trust her to take great care of your pet!”
About: I love feline companions and as a cat mom I know the deep bond you form with your pets, and I have every intention of taking care of your kitties the way I would want my cat taken care of. My cat, Luke, is harness trained, clicker trained for tricks, and could play all day long! While that isn’t the case for every cat, I hope my care for Luke can make you feel confident for allowing me to care for yours 🐱
About: I’ve been a cat lover my entire life—I literally grew up with cats and have over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for them. From playful kittens to sweet senior cats, I’m comfortable with every stage of life. I currently have a senior cat of my own, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and love they sometimes need. Whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended trip, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll happily provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, play (if they’re in the mood!), and, of course, give plenty of affection on their terms. I know every cat has a unique personality, and I’m committed to caring for yours just the way they like.
About: Hi! I’m a longtime cat lover with years of experience cat sitting for friends. I’ve cared for 9 different cats multiple times, so I’m comfortable with a range of personalities — from super social to “please respect my personal space.” I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to give cats affection, playtime, and care while also letting them get back to their important cat business :)
“She took amazing care of my sphynx, Noodle. I’m nervous about someone I don’t know watching him but I felt so comfortable and knew Noodle was in good hands. 100% will book again!!”
“I felt very assured with Rascal in Dina’s care. She did a very last minute care for me. She was very prompt in her communication and was sweet with Rascal. Everything was perfect.”
“Chelsea was great with our cat! She was also very flexible and responsive, especially considering the short notice for our booking and the fact that we were traveling during a holiday week. We came home to a very content kitty.”
About: I am currently a student at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine to become a vet! I have had pets at home since elementary school including dogs, cats, and chickens. At home I play an integral role caring for each of my pets. My love for animals extends outside of the house as I look to work with animals professionally as a veterinarian. I have 8 years of experience volunteering and working at veterinary clinics. Through my work, I have learned to handle all kinds of breeds and temperaments. I am so excited to work with your pets and provide incredible service. Shoot me a message with any questions or requests and I will be sure to respond day-of. I am currently in my second year of vet school and will have openings most days at various times to care for all your dog's and/or cat's needs before, after, and between classes. I have previous experience as a veterinary assistant, which consisted of caring for pets, so this will just be an extension of the same care I provided in the animal hospital and the animals I care for in vet school. I am very comfortable tending to all the needs of your pets including walking, feeding, playing with, cleaning up after, and giving medications. I am confident in handling dogs and cats and will ensure their safety around other animals.
About: - Have socialized kittens and cats at shelters since 2016 - My 2 kitty masters back at home have me wrapped around their little paws and I'm sure yours would too :) - Able to administer subcutaneous injections to cats independently if your kitty needs it!
About: I adopted my first cat Bowie when I was 20 and he truly changed my life for the better. Since adopting him I've worked full time for a year in an animal shelter, adopted another cat (Chibi), and fostered over 10 cats with my local shelter. I've fostered a wide range of cats ranging from 3 week old kittens that required syringe feeding, daily medications, and extensive weight tracking to senior cats in their golden years. I've also experienced caring for a hospice cat which required administering medication, food, and liquids through an E-tube. As a fellow cat mom with a passion for caring for animals, I can assure you I will give your furry family member the respect, attention, and love they deserve!

“Marya was so incredible with our Rocky! She gave him tons of love and walks while sending lots of updated and pictures. We will definitely return so he can get more love! Thank you so much for giving Rocky a great day.”
“Valerie was amazing! We reached out just one day before we needed someone to watch our dog, Choco, and she was incredibly accommodating. She was very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything so much easier for us. Throughout Choco’s stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time with her. We’re very grateful for the excellent care she gave Choco and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. We highly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Ally was so sweet and we could tell she really wanted Opal to be comfortable. We got lots of updates which we appreciated and would absolutely have Ally watch Opal again when we’re in town next!”
“Kathleen was able to modify our two walks and turn it into a day stay so Coco wouldn’t be alone all day. Kathleen is reliable and conscientious. Coco took to her immediately & looks forward to her walks and rides around town (when it’s too hot to do anything else). Feel so fortunate to have someone like Kathleen take care of my Coco as if she were her own.”
“I needed someone last minute for daycare for my dog. Lilly was very responsive and was able to pick up my request no problem, and Astro seemed like he had a great day with her. Would definitely book again.”
About: I have a Golden Retriever that is 6 years old and my cat who is 4 & mean the world to me. I’ve pet sat for friends and family throughout the years and enjoy spending time with them. I’ve gone through the puppy and kitten phase so I understand the chaos it entails. I’ve dealt with special food diets, reactive barking on walks, stranger anxiety etc. I have not had to give any meds other than regular flea & tick but I am more than willing to learn. I am a nursing student and am not queasy or new to the importance and safety it requires. I am more than happy to have day & overnight boarding in my home as long as they can get along well with others. I have a cat stroller & car seat as well if needed. I am a college student on summer break but have dog sat for family and friends in the past. I will try my best to accommodate to any special needs needed if required. I have a lot of patience & my dog (Rocky) is more than happy to keep a friend company. I love providing daily photos of pets to keep you updated. I’m currently at home for summer and often focus on the needs of my animals throughout the day. I do take my dog on daily walks when the pavement is not too hot. I can adjust to any routine necessary if clarified ahead of time. I do not keep my pets crated all day and allow them to free roam. I have a fenced in backyard and an energetic golden retriever to keep your pet company. I also have a separate bedroom for cats if needed. My cat also is very curious & loves other animals. I would prefer to know ahead of time if your pet gets along with cats to accommodate any needs and prevent accidents. Thank you!
About: I have been around pets ever since I can remember and probably had around 10 in my life so far. I’ll be attentive, caring and sweet with your little friends, bringing them the comfort and calm they need when you’re not home ❤️ I’m currently a student at UC Davis with a part-time job, so I will be available for pet sitting every other day normally after 12pm (noon) I can easily find a space in your home where the pet feels more at comfort and I’ll act quickly and proactively when I notice something is needed.
About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Raised on a farm and on a pre-vet track from a young age, I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds—from house pets to livestock to wildlife. Starting at 14, I volunteered in local vet clinics and wildlife rehab centers, gaining hands-on experience with everything from cats and dogs to peacocks, horses, goats, snakes, fish, birds, and cattle. At UC Davis, I deepened my care skills while working at the world-renowned Vet Hospital, tending to cats and dogs during the swing shift. I also worked with campus goats, pigs, sheep, fish, cattle, and horses—and even fostered cats for the hospital. Now in my 30s, I’m an education professional and dedicated pet mom to both cats and dogs. I continue to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets with the same compassion, attention, and responsibility that’s guided me my whole life. I’m certified in Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid, and Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid, and have emergency care experience with animals large and small. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always communicate clearly—your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm currently taking a break from teaching, and being a full-time stay-at-home mama to my 2.5 year old daughter. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. Please note that at this time, we are seeking families whose pets are comfortable around toddlers and children. I have a fully fenced yard, and a park just around the corner from my house for those whose furry friends enjoy a stretch, walk, or playtime! I am comfortable using a crate, and we have plenty of floor room in the house (carpet and laminate) for them to lay down if they're not crate trained. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Cats are allowed to wander the house. We are more than happy to put up child gates to keep your furry family member in certain areas of the house if they're prone to getting into things (such as stuffed animals for the kiddos... I mean really, a lot of doggie toys these days look so similar! I'd understand the misconception. lol) We're not afraid to be firm but kind if your family member needs set boundaries.

“Zihui helped me so much as I'm recovering from a broken ankle and leg and needed someone to walk my high energy German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois puppy while my husband was out of town. She came and was great with him immediately and walked him for an hour every day for the entire week so that I could focus on work. She told me how each walk went and just very kind and pleasant. I definitely recommend Zihui, thank you!”
About: Hi! My name is Faith Tupin and I am a substitute Paraeducator in the Davis school district, babysitter and grad school student. I grew up on a ranch with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and sheep. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter off and on for a few years and was in 4-H for many years. I have experience with extremely large dogs to tea cup chihuahuas, three legged dogs, dogs needing end of life care (medication administration, pet inhalers), puppies who haven’t been house trained and even service animals. I was taught how to do CPR on dogs even though i’ve never had to put my skills to use. I am active and I love long walks. I am also very clean and will make sure your house looks great when I leave. I currently am working part time and am also able to make my own schedule. This allows me to be flexible and take on additional responsibilities. I always talk to the owners to ensure that I am following their routine and keeping an eye out for any bad habits the dog may have- chewing on cords, digging by fences. I am aware of what food is toxic to dogs and never leave it out. I avoid other dogs on walks and look out for unknown food on the sidewalks that they may be tempted to eat.
About: I grew up on a farm and have been taking care of pets for family and friends for almost a decade! Including: dogs (big and small), and cats (old and young). I can feed and water your pets, administer medicine, clean up after them, and provide loving attention and play. I currently have 2 precious cats and would treat yours as if they were one of my own. I work part-time, and with advanced noticed I can choose my workdays/work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I can care for your pets in your home/yard. I’m comfortable with pets that free roam the house/yard as well as with those who need to be crated and let out or taken on walks.
About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. Insects, reptiles, rats, especially cats and dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the ASPCA for a year! I have experience with almost all animals, and I’d love to help take care of yours! I take care of two pets of my own, but currently don’t have a stable job. My days are open! Might as well do what I love and get payed for it. XD I have a calm smaller dog, and a cat who LOVES dogs (she’s strange I know). I live right next to a huge park and walking trail.
“I usually walk my Dalmatian every day but I got an injury and cannot do it for several weeks. So Emme-Kate has taken over until I get better! She is 100% reliable and prompt and gets a very brisk walk in for my dog every day. Thank you Emme-Kate!”
About: I have experience working in dog boarding and daycare caring for a wide variety of dogs. I also have experience as both a kennel technician and veterinary assistant caring for both dogs and cats. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and sizes as well as experience with senior pets and pets with specialized care such as diabetic cats. I also have a little experience with other types of pets but mostly just rabbits. I am currently a veterinary assistant and will be attending UC-Davis vet school this fall. I currently work 7:30-6 pm in Monterey Monday-Friday. Therefore during the week I would only be able to fit in one very short check during the work day if needed. Though, I am able to check on them before and after work and even stay with your fur baby overnights if needed. I am off on Saturdays and Sundays and am therefore very flexible those days and my schedule is totally open. I am open for overnight sitting, evening pet sitting, sitting for a few hours while you run errands or go on a date, etc! I have a wide variety of experience that allows me to cater to the needs of your pet. Whether that is taking them for long walks on the beach, giving your anxious pet cuddles and pets, bringing my dog to play with your dog(s) and keep them company, playing fishing with your cats, or whatever I need to do to keep your pets most happy, healthy and comfortable in their home.
About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for pets, including senior pets and those with special needs, including diabetes care. I’m always happy to tailor my approach so your pet gets the exact care, attention, and routine they’re used to. As someone with pets of my own, I have a good chunk of time carved out specifically for animal care. I would love to spend my spare time with other pets while their families are away. I am committed to providing personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. In a client’s home, I maintain your pet’s normal schedule with feedings, fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable and their routine consistent to minimize any stress while you're away.
“Carmen has been a terrific dog walker for our two hounds. They were practically smiling in the photos she’d send us each day. 5 stars and would definitely recommend to anyone in the Davis area looking for assistance with their pets.”
“Esmerilda has been great. She’s one of my regulars and I would highly recommend her. Energetic, great personality and great w animals esp my “special needs” Bow:)!”
About: I've grown up and lived with dogs most of my life. The best part of visiting home is getting to see our long haired terrier and our chihuahua mix. I've dog and house sat multiple times for friends who live in Davis. It’s always been a great experience as I find walking and hanging out with dogs to be a good way of decompressing from classes. I currently have more flexibility in my academic schedule, so I'm open for short or long term pet and house sitting. If you think I may be a good fit, please feel free to reach out. I'm currently helping in a lab on UCD, but my timing is flexible. I can easily work pet and house sitting into my schedule. My current living situation doesn't allow for me to have pets. When it comes to caring for a pet in their home I would follow the existing routines and refer to how the owner cares for their pet. I am a firm believer that it's far less stressful for a dog or cat to be able to stay home while their owner is out of town.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, and turtles. I have a cat of my own, but love all animals. Hoping I can treat your furry friend like one of my family members ❤️ I am currently studying from home, so happy to make your pet my priority anytime through the day. Flexible with hours and last-minute changes. Love to take animals for walks. I love to care for pets in their home and treat them like a king/queen. Dependable and call follow specific instructions, including health specifications for your pet.
About: I’m an attentive and patient sitter with experience caring for both cats and dogs, including shy, energetic, and sensitive pets. I adapt to each pet’s personality to help them feel safe and comfortable. I have cat sitter for friends, joined a friend on dog sitting trips via trusted house sitters, and also provided dog care in Davis locally. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and house sitting during weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to provide attentive and consistent care. At this time, I provide care in clients’ homes to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain routines and minimize stress.
About: Hi! I’m a Davis local and a flight attendant with a flexible schedule, so I love spending my free time staying active and getting outside. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, your pet needs company while you’re away, or you’re looking for someone dependable to stop by and check in, I’d be happy to help! I’m a lifelong animal lover who will treat your pets like they’re my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust, and my goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! As a flight attendant, my schedule varies from week to week, but on my days off I’m very flexible and have plenty of availability for pet care. I love staying active and going on walks, so having a furry companion to join me is the perfect addition to my day! I’m also a lifelong cat lover and genuinely enjoy stopping by to spend time with pets, whether that’s for walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and it’s one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a flight attendant, I’m trusted with the safety and well-being of others every day, and I bring that same level of responsibility and attention to caring for your pets. I’ll always follow your care instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Most of the services I offer take place in your home or out on walks, where pets can stay in their familiar environment and routine. For pets that visit my home for a short stay or daycare, they’ll have a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space with plenty of attention and care.
About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet experience, I have developed a deep understanding and profound love for animals of all kinds. My journey began with adopting my first dog, a lively mixed breed, which ignited my passion for animal welfare. Over the years, my home has been a sanctuary for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and even reptiles (upon occasion). I work from home most of the week, so I have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of other working professionals that are looking for a reliable, passionate pet sitter to take their fur babies on walks (or runs) while keeping them within their familiar environment. Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to welcome any pets in my house. I have fur babies of my own that I do not wish to upset their home life.
About: I have lived with pets all my life and have over 6 years of professional experience in all kinds of animals (including but not limited to) birds, reptiles, and amphibians. I have 1 green cheek conure, 1 desert tortoise, 2 cats, and 1 dog myself. I can medicate your animals, but also help with training, exercise, grooming, and other enriching or basic husbandry care. I’ve recently moved to Woodland to help my sister with her kids, which leaves me some time for myself but not enough for a full time job. That’s where pet sitting comes in for me. Animal care is an important thing to me, and I love to know I’m helping your pet live their best life. Most pets will be comfortable in their own home so I can make house trips at least twice a day, perhaps more depending on where you are located respective to me. If you’d like me to take your little one into my own home, we can talk about it and go from there :)
About: I have taken care of two cats since 2023, and have lived with two dogs in my family home since 2020. I absolutely love dogs and cats, and am willing to care for your pets with the same attention that I give my own animals! Growing up with different pets from fish, crabs, parakeets and hamsters is where my love for animals comes from and am excited to express that love in a way that is helpful to the community around me! I've lived in Davis for the past 5 years and as a former Unitrans employee, this opportunity seems like the best way for me to continue giving my efforts back to the city of Davis and its people! My schedule is very flexible currently and am able to help your pet throughout the day if need be! I am mobile and am able to make multiple visits to your animal in a single day, as well as take them on multiple trips and/or walks if need be. I prefer to take care of your animals in the space that they are comfortable in, and will be respectful of your home and property for the time I am in your space. I am able to play with, take on walks, feed, and take care of any other tasks your pet may need!
About: Dogs have always been family to me. When I care for your dog, I treat them with the same patience, respect, and affection that I give my own. I am a dog trainer with experience using positive reinforcement, reading canine body language, and building trust with dogs as individuals. My experience comes from years of hands-on care, training my own dogs, including my service dog, volunteering with rescues and shelters, and learning from every dog I have had the privilege to know. What makes my care different is that I pay attention to the little things. I am someone who notices changes in behavior, possible ear concerns, nail or coat issues, discomfort, or anything unusual that an owner should know about. My goal is not just to supervise your dog, but to truly care for their well-being and communicate with you. I have experience with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, from small dogs around 4 pounds to large dogs over 90 pounds. I have cared for bully breeds, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Goldendoodles, Poodles, rescue dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with special medical needs. Caring for my own Golden Retriever with myasthenia gravis and megaesophagus taught me the importance of patience, careful routines, and individualized care. I also have grooming experience, including bathing, brushing, nail trims, ear cleaning, and coat maintenance. I enjoy helping dogs feel comfortable and cared for. When appropriate, I love adding personal touches, such as sending dogs home with a toy or making homemade treats. I always check for allergies and dietary needs first to make sure everything is safe for your dog. I believe dogs need both physical exercise and mental enrichment. Depending on the dog, our day may include walks, fetch, training games, agility activities, puzzle toys, and playtime designed around their personality and energy level. My home is a dog-friendly environment where I focus on safety, comfort, and making dogs feel at home. Since I have a senior service dog, I take introductions seriously and make sure every dog is a good match for my home. My goal is simple: when your dog is with me, I want them to feel loved, understood, and cared for—not just watched. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I care for my own dogs in the morning, so I am usually available after 11 AM. Tuesdays and Thursdays are great days for daycare since I am home and able to provide attention, playtime, and companionship. I also take an evening break around 6:30 PM for my dogs’ dinner routine and am usually available again after 8 PM. I am happy to work with each client to find a schedule that fits both their pet’s needs and my availability. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while making sure every dog feels comfortable and happy. I am a positive reinforcement dog trainer, and I use my knowledge of dog behavior to provide safe, patient, and understanding care. I focus on building trust with each dog by learning their individual personality, comfort level, routines, and needs. Safety is one of my top priorities. I am someone who pays attention to the details and notices changes that may be easy to miss, such as changes in behavior, possible ear concerns, nail issues, skin irritation, coat problems, or anything that seems unusual for that dog. I always communicate with owners if I notice something concerning so we can work together to decide the best care for their pet. I have grooming experience, including bathing, brushing, nail trims, ear cleaning, and coat maintenance. I enjoy helping dogs feel comfortable and cared for, and I understand that regular grooming is an important part of a dog’s overall well-being. I have created a dog-friendly and senior-friendly environment in my home. I have ramps, orthopedic beds, and accommodations to help small dogs, senior dogs, and dogs who may need extra support feel comfortable. I also keep dog first aid supplies available and take safety seriously. I have two furry friends of my own who enjoy keeping other dogs company and providing opportunities for safe play and companionship. Because I have a senior service dog, I take introductions seriously and make sure dogs are a good personality match before daycare or boarding. I also use separate feeding areas and safe separation when needed to help prevent stress and protect each dog’s space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and leave things the way I found them. I make sure your pet’s routine, comfort, and care are my priority. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and welcoming experience where every dog feels understood, loved, and truly cared for.

“Kirsten was great!! She was kind and communicative by sending me pics/vids with updates and was very reassuring as it was my first time having my boy away from home. I would definitely trust her to watch him again, 10/10”
“Achara is the best. Hudson has spent several long weekends with her now and he is more excited to see her and her family at drop off than to see us at pick up! A great sign that he feels right at home there. Achara is always really easy to communicate with, sending photos and updates throughout his stay - in fact most recently she helped us coordinate a last minute pickup as we were heading to the hospital to have a baby! Couldn’t recommend her highly enough as a loving home for our fur baby when we’re away.”
“Edward had another wonderful stay with Jessie. He gets so excited when he sees her. He’s so much happier staying with her than at a boarding kennel and she takes great care of him.”
“Marya sent pictures often showing both dogs having a good time and playing. Our daughter picked them up and said the dogs were happy and taking a walk. Thanks Marya for taking great care of the pups. They will see you in a few days.”
“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”
“My doggo had a great weekend! I recieved frequent updates and pictures! He seemed very cozy there, I'll defiently bring him back next time I need a boarding in the area!!”
“My pup received wonderful love and care from Marie & James. I received photos and videos at least twice a day. Will trust them again with my doggy when we travel.”
About: Hi! I'm Susi, and my goal is to make your time away as stress free as possible, for both you and your pets. My experience comes from being a lifelong dog owner and understanding firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I know that every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and quirks that make them who they are. That’s why I focus on providing personalized care for one family at a time, creating a calm and comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and loved. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I'll follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and bedtime routines, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. When your pet stays with me, they'll receive the same love, patience, and care I'd want for my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I’ve structured my schedule so every pet in my care receives consistent attention, companionship, and supervision. I’m home everyday of the week and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I attend school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-12pm and 6pm-9pm, but someone is always home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I only care for one family’s pets at a time, I’m able to give them focused, personalized care instead of dividing my attention between multiple bookings. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar and stress free as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home. In my home, I provide a calm, comfortable environment where pets can settle in and feel like part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks, playtime, and outdoor enrichment, along with a quiet dog park just a few blocks away that is usually empty. I only use the park when it is appropriate for the individual dog and with the owner’s permission. I also have a dog (Jayda) of my own who is friendly, calm, and respectful of other dogs’ boundaries. I always prioritize safe introductions and closely monitor interactions so every pet feels comfortable. If a visiting dog is not comfortable around other dogs, my home has separate rooms and spaces where pets can be safely kept apart whenever necessary. Their comfort and safety always come first. Because I care for one family at a time, I can give each pet personalized attention and follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For care in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself. During drop-ins or house sitting, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, litter box or yard cleanup, medication when needed, playtime, affection, and any other care instructions provided. For walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and letting each dog move at a pace that suits their age, energy level, and comfort. No matter the service, I send regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care.
“Beyond fantastic! Kasandra kept our cocker while we were away for 2 weeks. Not only was he very well cared for—he was actually better than when we left him! He is way calmer and has better manners than he had at drop off. Kasandra gave me some pointers that will help me a lot with him at home. This gal is a dog whisperer!! I could not be more grateful. Thank you Kasandra!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Kathleen. She has such a genuine passion and love for dogs. My pup took to her right off the bat, I’ve never seen him trot off with a stranger so willingly. She is so knowledgeable and understanding, I felt comfortable leaving him with her through the 4th of July holiday weekend. She managed firework anxiety like a pro. She took amazing care of him and he came home totally happy and tuckered out. I can tell he had a good time. I will definitely be booking again.”
“Cecilia is very professional and caring. She is a real dog lover! She and her dogs welcomed our energetic puppy and she sent photos and videos every day. We appreciate her work!”
“Randi did amazing taking care of my 2 dogs. She always updated me everyday and was very communicative whenever I was worried how my dogs were behaving since they both have different personalities. Randi was very gracious when she kept both of them an extra night without charge due to an airline issue so I was unable to pick them up on time. Both of my dogs had a great time and are now sleeping through the day! I will definitely have my dogs in the care of Randi again and recommend her to other dog owners. Thank you so much, Randi!”
“My dog is aging and becoming physically frailer such that I’ve become much more picky about who I leave him with. Cedric is clearly kind and patient, manages his dogs and home in a safe manner, and sent plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease. Will be sending my old man to spend time with him again.”
“We love having April as our go-to sitter! It had been almost six months since we’ve traveled anywhere, and while packing to leave was a challenge, at least we could check off not worrying about dog care. Thank you for always taking such great care of Dora!”
“Zariyah was great and very communicative. She was very accommodating and let me pick up Eros after getting a delayed flight. She was also great with updates regularly and sent a lot of videos to me.”
“Alexandra is a wonderful caretaker for my two fur babies. She provides daily photos and updates, is super responsive and accommodating with pick up and drop off arrangements, and truly cares for my dogs. I can tell both of my girls enjoy their stays with Alexandra since they are always excited to see her when I drop them off. I’ll continue to be a repeat client, thank you Alexandra!”
