Pet Sitting in Vallecito

“Another great visit from Mallory. My dogs are so well taken care of. I am thankful that we can get away for a weekend here and there without worrying. Mallory is reliable, communicative, and most importantly she is so loving with my pups. I am rebooking again soon and I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”

“Katie did a great job taking care of our 4 kitties while we were on vacation! I was nervous leaving them alone for an extended period of time for the first time but she did a fantastic job and made me feel much more comfortable about leaving them in the future. She sent pictures of all of our kitties for every visit and you could tell they were happy to see and play with her! Highly recommend Katie if you need someone to stop in and feed/take care of your pets!”

“Makiah was amazing! She arrived on time and ready to help. I knew instantly she was the right person to be looking after Luna. I really appreciated her photos and notes she sent during her visit. If you are looking for help with your fur baby, Makiah is perfect!”

About: I had many pets growing up, but I don't currently have any of my own. I love animals and so, for many years, I have filled the pet void by taking care of my friends animals as needed. For 2-6 weeks at a time on some occasions. Its great to know that I'm giving people peace of mind when they are away from their pets. My friends know that their dogs are getting spoiled with outdoor adventures and cuddles on the couch. You shouldn't have to worry about your furry friends when you leave town. Going for a dog walk easily becomes the best part of my day, and so offering my service to folks beyond my immediate friend group seems like a really enjoyable way for me to make some extra cash. I work from home full time, Monday through Friday, and I have a very flexible day-to-day schedule that allows me to provide constant supervision and take frequent breaks throughout the day for sun, exercise, playing and pets. I have a working vehicle that is dog friendly. I am happy to go to the dog park and explore hiking trails, but I also live on a farm and the property is fully fenced in. I have experience taking care of dogs that have recently had surgery and require carrying up/down stairs and lifting in/out of the car, have needed meds both orally and via injection, elderly dogs that need frequent trips outside, and high anxiety dogs that need close contact and attention and don't do well with other animal interactions. I am happy to meet individual pet needs based on health, personality, etc...

About: My heart has always belonged to dogs. I grew up alongside many beautiful and loyal pets who I learned to care for. I have worked with senior dogs that require medications or special assistance. In 2022 I worked as a nanny and caretaker to a beautiful high energy shepherd that was a very stubborn walker. I learned to use commands, treats, and a head collar to help keep her in control so I could focus on the children during walks. I am so grateful to learn from the pets I work with. I have been able to apply much of what I learned from her training to teach my own stubborn pup to walk without ripping my arm off. I currently work as a daycare attendant at Happy Dog Daycare in Eureka. I love working with the huge variety of breeds and personalities that walk through the door everyday. I am pet CPR and First Aid Certified. Drop-In visits on weekdays will be available either 6am-12pm or 1pm-12am depending on my schedule for the week. Weekend visits may be scheduled anytime. Multiple visits may be booked each day. House sitting is available all week. I work during the week so pets must be able to be safely left unattended for up to 6 hours during the day. If your pet loves others and is fully vaccinated consider signing them up for Happy Dog Daycare for days you have to be away! (Will shuttle for existing clients. Subtract $14-22 from Rover price on days pet attends daycare. Client is responsible for daycare fees) Weekend pet sitting is open, I can be available 24/7 to care for your pet and home! HOUSESITTING - I am happy to accommodate your pet's specific routine as well as provide playtime and outings. Let's chat about your pup's needs so we can ensure they can have a fear free booking!. I want to ensure your pet is as comfortable and loved as possible while you're away. DROP-IN VISITS - 30 minutes typically includes feeding, changing water, potty break, and playtime. I am open to doing short 10-15 minute walks during drop-ins. 1 hour drop-in visits include feeding, changing water, walk and playtime suited to your dog’s needs. I suggest 1 hour visits if your dog is high energy or needs extra attention.

“Andy is the best possible dog sitter / dog walker you could ever ask for. Reliable, communicative, and great with my dog. I can't recommend Andy enough.”

About: Does your dog need a vacation from their everyday life while you’re on vacation? I’m Tarah. I have a 9 year old boxer mix Mack and 4 year old Tabby cat Juniper. We live an active lifestyle while having a full time job. Your dog will enjoy all the finer things in dog life such as Running, skiing, hiking in the mountains, swimming and paddle boarding . Your pup will get to enjoy the great outdoors and after spoiled with lots of treats and fluffy blanket snuggles. I currently work 8 hour shifts at the hospital. I come home during lunch to let my dog out to walk. She also gets to run, ski , or hike before or after work or both. I live in an apartment and don’t have a fenced in yard. Pets have access to the patio all day. My space is small but is ruled by Mack and June. Lots of dog and cat toys everywhere. They are allowed on the bed and furniture. Mack and June get fed 2 times a day, lots of outside time for the dog and playtime for the kitty. We live right behind a county road with quick access to trails.

“Michaela was great and we so appreciated her coming by mid day to walk and feed Rex. We were able to vacation and have him with us most of the time but on the days we did things that Rex couldn’t come we didn’t have to worry about his care.”

“Words cannot express how thankful my family and I are to Deb. We had booked with a previous sitter who canceled on us last minute, and we could not change our vacation plans. I sent a message to Deb requesting care for our puppy, she responded within minutes was able to accept our last minute booking. She went to our home, packed up our dog, all his favorite toys, belongings and brought him to her home. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the day, took him on, walks, spoiled him, and loved him like he was her own. Our family was able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was being well taken care of by such a loving sitter. I cannot recommend Deb enough! Thank you, Deb!!”

About: I am a working professional that will be doing this for some fun and extra income. This will be my first time doing pet care for people I do not know. In the past I have helped friends and neighbors when they were leaving town by watching their animals. In the past I ran my own cleaning business and often did minimal animal care while cleaning homes. I have a dog myself (Indie) and can understand the stress that comes with hiring a pet sitter or kenneling your pet. I hope I can help to provide a stress free option for pet care. You can be confident your animal will be getting the best possible care while you are away. I am offering walks in your neighborhood or longer hikes in the area accompanied by my dog, drop-in visits, and overnight sitting at your home. I wish I could offer boarding at my house but my landlord will not allow other dogs in my home. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me please don't hesitate to contact me!
