“Monique had a very dog friendly house! She seemed really kind and like true pet lover. I have never left my dogs with someone that wasn’t family so I was nervous but after meeting her I felt comfortable knowing they’d be in good hands. While we were away she sent pictures and was great with communication! I was able to relax and enjoy the trip knowing my fur babies were happy!”
“Ziggy’s stay with Marin and her family was awesome. The drop off and pick up were seamless and easily orchestrated. Ziggy had lots of entertainment provided with his frisbee and the other dogs. I received lots of updates and pictures about Ziggy while I was gone.He seemed in good spirits when I picked him up. I was easily able to lengthen Ziggy’s stay with Marin when I needed to stay out of town longer than expected. Thanks”

About: Hi my name is Colleen! I have been around and loved animals my whole life. I offer full-time care and live on Vandenberg SFB. For the past three years, I managed a veterinary practice.

I work a flexible remote schedule that allows me to be fully available for full-time care. My weekends are available and open, meaning I can dedicate plenty of quality time, structured play, and consistent attention to boarding or housesitting your pets, no matter the day of the week 🐾❤️ With a professional background in veterinary medicine and animal handling, safety is always my top priority ❤️ My home features a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play.

About: I have never been without one or more cats since the age of 4. They are my spirit animal. I have been helping friends and family with sitting and medical needs officially for the last 4 years. I had a cat with hyperthyroidism that I treated with medicine daily for two years until she was 18 years old. One of my current fur babies has seizures that I monitored until becoming under control. I am willing to do just about anything to help a cat or aid in ensuring their happiness while you are away from home.

About: Hi I'm Tiffany! I used to groom for a grooming corporation for about 5 years and then on my own for a few years after that. I then took on house/dog sitting for close friends and really enjoyed it all before COVID hit. I love caring for animals and my heart is huge for dogs. I love to be active with dogs and helps me to stay healthy and fit too since all day I sit at a desk job. I have an 18 year old chihuahua dachshund mix who is my whole world, and his name is Shorty. I look forward to walking your pet or keeping your pet safe while you're away. :) Thank you very much.

I can be available weekdays 6:30pm - 9:00pm and weekends available 10:00am - 9:00pm. I can dog sit at your place or check on them. I can also walk them so they get their exercise before bed and through the day on the weekends. I currently do not have a place to hold your pet for sitting so all sittings will need to be their homes.
About: I have tons of experience caring for my own dog and petsitting for friends while they are out of town! I love all animals especially cats and dogs.

I always follow instructions given by the owner. You know what your pet needs and to get it to them. Also I am very familiar with what dogs and cats can and cannot consume.

About: I’ve cared for cats my whole life, including my childhood cats Rosie and Cleo, River (adopted with my aunt in 2023), and a neighborhood stray I named Buffy. As the owner of Jules & Paws Pet Care, I tailor my care to each cat’s personality and routine. I have experience with feeding, litter box care, medications, and special diets, and I pay close attention to body language to understand when they want play, cuddles, or quiet time. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and gentle with seniors. I treat every cat like my own and provide regular updates, photos, and notes so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved.
About: I grew up with a cat in the home and got my first cat when I was 19 and living in Munich, Germany. My husband and his friend kept calling the kitten George while I was trying to come up with her name. Needless to she started answering to George. George and I made the long flight back to the states with her in a carrier under my seat. George and I had 20 wonderful years together. Since then, I have always had a least one cat in my home. I love my animals so much that I take all of my babies with me in the motorhome when I go anywhere longer than a weekend.

About: I've cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, from my own 3 pound Yorkie to 100 pound German Shepherds, as well as cats! I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, I'll provide reliable, attentive care and treat them like they're part of my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I'm currently attending college online, which means I'm home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends! Since I'm home, your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship rather than being left alone for long periods. I live in an apartment, but we have a fenced dog area where pets can safely get outside time and enjoy some play. I also take dogs on daily walks to help them stay active and happy. I have a friendly dog of my own who loves having a companion around, but I always make sure to respect each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible :)

“Danielle was great with my dog Brody! Brody has anxiety and gets worried about new situations so he was anxious but no need to worry, I picked up a very happy dog! Danielle was very caring with Brody and gave him time to settle in. Thankyou so much!”
“This was our second day, and I was so happy to see how comfortable my dog became. She has separation anxiety, but today she wagged her tail and walked in calmly, which felt like a huge step forward. I really appreciate the patient, reassuring environment—it made a big difference for her sense of safety. Thank you for taking such good care of her.”
“Thanks to Rover, I have found a fantastic sitter for my dog. Suzette has watched ‘Pepper’ for me, numerous times. I appreciate her timely responses, flexibility with scheduling and most importantly...I know that Pepper is well taken care of!”

“Aaron and his family are the absolute best! It's an awesome household with a couple friendly dogs in the mix as well. It was my 1 year old dog's first time staying in doggy daycare and he had an absolute blast. Aaron sent multiple picture updates of the fun and took amazing care of my four legged friend. I highly recommend Aaron and his wonderful family when you need your dog to be in good hands while you're away. He'll be my first option the next time my Boston Terrier needs a babysitter. Thanks so much and the great experience is very much appreciated.”

About: I've had the gift of house/pet sitting for over 10 years, and it is without a doubt the most rewarding job I've ever experienced! Personally, I've had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, horses, and hermit crabs as pets, besides the odd rescued baby bird, bunny, or mouse. On top of cats, dogs, and fish, I've had the opportunity to care for alpacas, an African grey parrot, and saltwater fish/reefs, while pet sitting. Every animal I encounter has its own identity and temperament, which is always fun and interesting to observe and base my care on. I feel like such a winner when I get a standoffish animal to trust me! Throughout my life I've had an array of animals to bond with, though for a long period recently we had just one cat. Mournfully, a few years ago, my dad and I had to part with our beloved Stevie. She was our close companion for over 15 years, and I still miss her immensely. Her quirks and routines still cross my mind, which brings all the things that made her unique and lovable up into my heart. Pet sitting warms my heart, and definitely fills the need that I still have for animal companionship (but without the heartbreak). Pet sitting is a way for me to have the joy of loving and caring for a pet in an empathetic way: in their own home, on their own schedule, stepping into their owner's (figurative) shoes for a bit, to make *everyone* more comfortable. Time and again, it's proven to be the best way I've found to give personalized care to precious pets, and allow owners to truly enjoy their time away. My part-time library job offers me a lot of flexibility, leaving me the opportunity to do more of what I love. Traveling, exploring new areas, experiencing new food, going to music events, working out/walking, spiritual activities, and creative endeavors have a place in my life because of this balance. Of course that also includes one of the most rewarding ways to punctuate my life: house and pet sitting! I base my care around the individual needs of the pet and owner! Pets LOVE their routines, so I typically live in harmony with their modus operandi, on balance with my part-time engagements.

“Ziggy’s stay with Marin and her family was awesome. The drop off and pick up were seamless and easily orchestrated. Ziggy had lots of entertainment provided with his frisbee and the other dogs.

About: Hi my name is Colleen! I have been around and loved animals my whole life. I offer full-time care and live on Vandenberg SFB. For the past three years, I managed a veterinary practice. Because of this background, I am incredibly familiar with the diverse medical and behavioral needs of dogs, cats, and horses alike! I am a massive dog and cat lover. At home, I have a German Shepherd and a Goldendoodle who get daily walks and endless love. Because I work from home full-time, any animal in my care will receive constant attention and supervision. I am also a very active person, so you can count on your pets getting plenty of playtime and exercise. My home is completely child-free, and visiting pets are absolutely allowed on the furniture to make them feel right at home. Additionally, I live on the military base, making it easy and convenient for me to accommodate both on-base and off-base families. Whether your pet needs high-energy play or have specialized medical needs, they will be safe, active, and loved here! Animal care is a central part of my life! I work a flexible remote schedule that allows me to be fully available for full-time care. My weekends are available and open, meaning I can dedicate plenty of quality time, structured play, and consistent attention to boarding or housesitting your pets, no matter the day of the week 🐾❤️ With a professional background in veterinary medicine and animal handling, safety is always my top priority ❤️ My home features a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play. I’m highly experienced in reading animal behavior, maintaining clean and secure environments, administering medications if needed, and keeping a watchful eye to ensure your pet is happy and relaxed.
