About: What sets me apart is my personalized approach to each dog’s needs—whether that means extra playtime for high-energy pups, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency for puppies in training. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I’m confident handling everything from basic commands to administering medication. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away. I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of a lot while my family is away. I don’t remember a time in my life where I haven’t had multiple dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and happy environment that mirrors their usual routine as closely as possible. I stick to their feeding, walk, and play schedules, and provide lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is in good hands. Clean spaces, comfy rest areas, and plenty of tail wags guaranteed!

“Kyrie is hands down THE BEST cat sitter around! She is so thoughtful and takes great pictures of our babies, they are always so happy when we get back home and it's so reassuring knowing that we can travel and they are taken care of perfectly ❤️”

“Our kitty’s our always happy with Blyth”

“Candace was wonderful. Friendly and professional. She kept us updated on our cats. She was very helpful for a quick trip away. We will definitely want to have her again when needed.”

Karen J.

“Tori is fabulous! She stopped over for a meet and greet before hand. She took our dog for a walk, and he was nice and tired when we got home which was a bonus! Overall 10/10”

Alexa C.

“Cassidy is absolutely amazing!!! I have a highly attached and anxious cat who usually gets ill every time I leave for long periods of time. I went to Europe for three weeks, a time frame I never imagined possible but thanks to Cassidy my cat didn’t even realize I was gone 🤣 She always had so many treats ready for my little Penny to snack on. Took her on lots of walks for adventure time, and never failed to pill her in the evening. Truly a gem!”

About: I grew up with a constant menagerie of pets. When I still lived in my hometown with my mom and dad, we had a farm with more than 10 dogs and 7 cats. My job everyday was to take care of them and feed them, and I spent a lot of time playing around with them too, while my mom and dad were working so I’m very comfortable around all types of animals. I’m also a stay-at-home wife, so without other concerns during the day, your critters get my full attention! I love dogs and cats and have never met one I didn’t like or even that didn’t like me. I love earning an animal’s trust, showing them love, that they can trust me, and making them comfortable in my home. I have also spent a lot of time around a big variety of different dog breeds as well, and know how to handle them all; their activity and energy level, general personality types and their needs. Also, I have some knowledge about the best animal nutrition practices and am mindful of that when caring for your critters. I am 23 years old, so still energetic enough to match the young ones and puppies, who are of course always full of energy and always in that adorable, excited mood, which is very welcome in my home. Besides walking, I’ve created some pretty fun games for dogs that can help burn up some energy too! With senior dogs, I know how to make them comfortable and maintain a calm, quiet and caring environment for them with lots of dog bed spread around the house. When you trust me to let me take care of your dogs, you absolutely don't have any problems to worry about. I can promise that your dogs will have the best care and always be free to be themselves without worry, stress, or fear in my home. I am a full-time housewife, so pet care IS my weekly routine! Besides the usual house chores, I have plenty of time to give full attention to your furry loved ones. All day long, every single day, you can drop off your dogs at my home (my husband is just as much of an animal love as I am, and a business owner, so if he’s off he’ll be just as happy to have them as guest as I am!). Your dogs are welcome to sleep over at our house every single day of the week, until you get back from business trips or vacations. Food, water, a bed to sleep in and freshly cleaned toys to play with between sittings; our home can be theirs whenever needed. I can be available three days per week to come to your house overnight to take care of your dogs in their own home if you wish, as long as our schedules line up. With food: If you give me any food for your dogs when you drop them at my home, I will follow any routine and recipe you have laid out, being considerate of diet issues. If you’re more relaxed about diet concerns and don’t mind me spoiling them a bit I might treat them to a rice, chicken or fish and olive oil treat, which is a veterinarian favorite for good canine health, and dogs always tend to love it! (I keep these on hand and their made with no seasonings or flavorings at all). However, make sure you give me any information about your dogs health, diet and allergy concerns, before hand. In the yard: I do have a yard with a fence where your dogs can run around and play a bit or relieve themselves, but I use it sparingly and usually just do walks outside. (I do not have any plants in the yard that can cause harm to dogs.) Parks and trails: From my home to the end of the road I live on, about a one minute walk, I have access to a park that I’ll sometimes take dogs to. If your dogs are sociable and you don’t have concerns with them having run ins with other dogs or children then they might gets some social time that way. Let me know if these are concerns and we will keep them at the house. If your dogs are not socialized, I can take them for walks on the trail away from others, or not. Just let me know. With environment: I have no children, no pets, so your dogs will not have to face any territorial or child terrorism issues of any kind. If you prefer, I can keep your dogs privately kenneled while with me or allow them freedom to move about the house and socialize with me. If you don't say anything, I prefer to give your dogs freedom to roam around in my home and lounge wherever they like. They are allowed to stay on the couch or the bed, which is fine with me, but if you have them trained not to, just let me know and I will stop them. If there are any other training concerns or restrictions, don’t hesitate to let me know and I will maintain those both firmly and gently!

About: Fun fact! My first ever animal was a cat named Riley and he came into my life at 3 years old! He was such a sweetheart and truly taught me the beginning information on how to care for cats. From age 3, I have always had cats in my house and as did my close family. Any accommodations needed to make your cat comfortable, I am more than happy to do so! I can’t wait to give your family member so much love and attention! 🐱

“I am definitely a worry wort cat mom and Michelle was the first person I really felt comfortable with having check on our cat Taco. From the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with her and she did an amazing job checking in on him during drop in visits. I couldn't ask for anyone better to trust with our pet and will absolutely book Michelle for any future car sitting needs. 10 out of 10 Can't say enough good things!”

About: I've successfully ran a pet sitting business in the Bay Area for 3 years. Throughout the years, I've had the pleasure of fostering many dogs and adopting a few as well. My particular fondness is for senior dogs, and I welcomed my last dog, Ollie, into my home when he was 9 years old. Sadly, I said goodbye to my beloved furry friend about a year ago in October, and I deeply miss his presence and the joy that dogs bring to my daily life. I have a passion for an active lifestyle, and I regularly enjoy hiking on weekends, often accompanied by dogs I've cared for. Currently, I'm in a transitional period between remote jobs, which provides me with the flexibility to care for furry companions. I can house sit further away than stated. My home is well-prepared to provide a safe and loving environment for dogs. It's equipped with a fenced yard, a doggy door for easy access, and, most importantly, an abundance of love. I'm a homeowner and take pride in ensuring that my space is welcoming and secure for all canine visitors.

On the flip side, I have also stayed at numerous clients home for extended periods of time caring for multiple dogs. I will always treat every dog as a member of The Pack. I am passionate about teaching and training, so your dog will always learn a new trick. And I am more then willing to help or advise you with any concerns or behaviors you may need help with. My home has a lot of space to find a good spot for a nap, as well as a huge fenced in backyard. Plenty of room for activities. I work from Home, so i am always home with the doggies. Your pet will be treated as a member of the family. I have a huge fenced in yard with lots of room to roam and my Golden Retriever MJ loves other dogs and is always up for a good romp session. Work from home full time so i am always home and spend time with the dogs as much as possible. We are always working on in home manners, with all of our house guests. I have a huge, fenced yard, and all yard play time is supervised for safety. Dog gates used in the house if dogs need be separated but I have not had a dog situation yet that i wasn't able to handle.

“Thank you so much for getting the girls out, I really appreciate it. Candice is the BEST, very responsive and helpful while I was away from work.”

About: Personal experience I've had smaller dogs (Westie and pugs) from adopting them young and adopting as a senior. But I've watched bigger dogs for coworkers and friends. I also have experience dealing with multiple medications and eyedrops for dogs. I love hiking and being outside so if your dog loves walks even better! Not to forget the kitties but I have also had a cat and watched cats in the past. Again young and older. My availability is pretty open as I work remote. Your fur kids will have a person around a good portion of the day. Which is perfect if you have a Velcro pet! I've cared for dogs that are crate trained and others that do not require a crate. I've also sat dogs that live in apartments and houses with a fenced yard.

“Cassidy is so amazing! We recently adopted a rescue pup and she has been so patient and engaging with her as we get her better leashed trained. HIGHLY recommend!”
