House Sitting Valley Oak

“Zelda, our dog, has separation anxiety. Rayna visited a few times before her stay and was calm and gentle with Zelda. It was very evident that, after we returned home from our trip, Rayna did everything she could to make Zelda comfortable and feel safe even though her pack was away. Rayna was quick to respond to my texts during our vacation and took very good care of the house.”

“Rebecca has a natural ability to connect with timid dogs. Our dog typically takes a long time to warm up to new people, but during our meet-and-greet, Rebecca immediately got on her level—literally sitting on the floor to build trust. That same patience and attentiveness carried throughout her stay, and it was clear our dog felt safe and secure in her care. Rebecca is also an excellent communicator—I received frequent updates and plenty of photos, which gave me real peace of mind. Just as important, she treated our home with genuine respect and left it even better than she found it. Her thoughtfulness and professionalism truly stand out.”

About: I’ve been around of medium/large dogs essentially my entire life and have provided care to them during every stage of their lives. I posses the confidence, patience, and discipline needed to care for young pets and those in training. I’d love to meet your fur babes soon! I am actively searching for full-time employment, so I have lots of time to play and train with your pets. I do have my own working dog, who has daily needs to be fulfilled. I have a field line Labrador who has a neutral demeanor and typically pays no mind to other animals. My yard isn’t big enough for much other than going potty, however I have a large park nearby for fetch and the neighborhood perfect for walks.

“Daniella is wonderfully attentive to our 4-month-old puppy’s needs. Ash is still in the midst of potty training, and Daniella patiently observes Ash’s cues to ensure he makes his potty breaks on time. She doesn’t hesitate to spend time with him in his indoor playpen, actively engaging him in play while ensuring his safety, especially now that he can reach the top panel at chest height. Daniella also keeps our daily journal up to date with Ash’s meals and potty schedule, which helps us stay on track with his routine. We’re so grateful for her care and attention.”

“There are so many positive words to describe Andrea. She is flexible, communicative, friendly, and trustworthy! We were away for a long weekend and knew our girls were in great hands. Andrea kept us updated with sweet pictures and messages, and we came home to a spotless house and happy pups. Thank you again Andrea, our girls are already looking forward to your next visit. You’re truly the best!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including large and high-energy breeds. As a dog owner, I’m very comfortable with routines, walks, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel safe and happy. I currently have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m available most days and times for pet care. I plan my day around feeding, walks, and giving pets consistent attention and care. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment with consistent routines, supervision, and lots of attention. I always follow owner instructions closely to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free.

About: For the past four years, I have raised and cared for chickens, lambs, and goats for our county fair. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning pens, changing water, and walking and training each animal one to two times daily. I always made sure to dedicate consistent, quality time to properly train and care for each of my animals. While these are not the specific types of animals I would be caring for in this position, I believe this experience reflects my strong work ethic, responsibility, and ability to care for animals of all sizes and needs. In addition to my fair experience, I have had animals my entire life. Currently, I have three dogs and ten chickens at home, and I am responsible for their daily care, including feeding, cleaning, and overall needs. My oldest dog is 15 years old, and I have been primarily responsible for his care for the past seven years. Most of my experience is with small dogs under 20 pounds, but I have also walked and cared for larger dogs weighing around 100 pounds. Additionally I have been a prominent member of Tokay FFA’s Veterinary science team, on this team I’ve learned dozens of minor medical procedures that I am confident in doing such as administration of various medications via oral, aural, and injections, bandage wrapping and removal, and the concept of safe handling with all kinds of animals. I am well versed in many species of animals, ages, and sizes so I hope to be a good fit for your beloved pets. I am currently on summer break and will be attending college this coming fall, as of right now my schedule is fairly open. T is a few days where my hours may change, but overall I am available at all times of day every day to fit your needs. Times are subject to change and if I ever have a conflict I will be sure to notify you with proper prior notice to ensure your pets are taken care of. If there is fences at your home I will always be sure to lock and close them behind me if your pets are inside, I am also well versed in handling larger dogs/animals so I will not easily be pushed to the side if your pet is prone to doing so. I am confident in my animal handling skills and if your dog needs to be fenced in or crated I am confident I can do so.

“This was a truly good fit for Champ and for me. I had never come home to a house that was cleaner than when I left. Great job, Champ and I are truly happy.”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own. Caring for animals comes naturally to me because I truly love being around them. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving lots of attention to dogs/cats of different sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to check in on, care for, and spend time with their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I treat every animal like my own. Because I’m currently taking online classes, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets more attention throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure each pet gets dedicated time, exercise, and attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and house rules. I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, pets are supervised during walks or playtime, and any special needs are handled with care. I create a calm, positive environment so pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.

About: I have been an animal lover since as young as I could remember. I can provide your furbaby with a loving home away from home. I have experience of 4 years fostering with local rescues and the Stockton Animal shelter. I primarily have worked with cats and kittens ranging from 4 weeks to adults cats. I also have a cat of my own, who loves the company of other cats and kittens. In my home there is a dedicated space to play and have access to a cat tower that overlooks a bird feeder for bird watching - this is an HUGE hit with my own furbaby. This room also is quiet and provides a calm and secure room for furbabies that may be a bit more on the skiddish and shy side. Ensuring that your pet is comfortable and safe is my biggest concern. I am second grade teacher and while the some days are longer than most, I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur baby! I have a cat of my own and playtime is an important part of our day. I will be sure to give your baby plenty of pets and cuddles. Ensuring that your furbaby is stress free and safe are my #1 concerns. You furbaby, will be able to roam freely and explore my home as if it is their own, unless you prefer otherwise. I also have an office space that doubles as a room dedicated to my cat that is filled with toys for enrichment!

“Tamera watched our cat and dog for a week and did a great job. She had great communication everyday with lots of photos. Will definitely book her again.”

About: I am a registered nurse working mostly night shifts. That means I'm off during the day! I can do overnights if needed. It also means I know how to handle dirty situations. I'd love to walk your furry dog. I grew up with two to three dogs in the house. I do not have a dog here in California so i'm missing hanging out with dogs! I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. Let me take care of your animal while at work, on vacation, or otherwise. Im super responsible, punctual, and have reliable transportation. I can take the dog on a hike, crab digging on the beach, or an easy walk in the neighborhood. Let me know the dog needs and i'll be right there!

“We booked Taylor for the first time to watch our new dog, Maverick, and we couldn’t be happier. She was kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and will definitely be requesting her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience in pet boarding and looking after the pets of my friends and family. I have assisted in training puppies as well as adult dogs, so I am more than happy to assist in training your animals while you're away by keeping up a specific schedule or regimen. I also have personal experience caring for elderly dogs as well as dogs with anxiety disorders, happy to work with them in any special ways needed. I typically find myself doing a lot of my busy work and essential activities in the afternoons and evenings. For this reason, majority of my availability for short visits will be in the mornings, but happy to discuss other arrangements if needed. I have a large backyard and property that your bestie will just love, if they stay over at my place. I have multiple sized dog beds so no matter babies size they'll have a lovely place to rest their head.

“Ramona took excellent care of Ginger and my home while away. She was reassuring, sent updates, and was easy to communicate with. Would definitely hire again.”

“It's difficult to leave your pets with a complete stranger but Shannon made it feel like she was an old friend taking care of Samson and Zoe. Shannon sent me pictures everyday and provided me with updates about the dogs daily routines. I highly recommend Shannon and will continue to use her for future dog sitting visits.”

“Gabrielle provided excellent care to our home and our fur babies. We appreciate her communication and pics while we were away for the 8 days. Definitely will use her again.”
