“Rithy was soo great! It’s been years since we have had a dog sitter for our baby and Rithy made us feel very comfortable leaving our senior boy at home with her ❤️ She gave him lots of love, walks and treats and we came home to a happy boy. We will definitely be scheduling Rithy for our future trips away :)”


“Lynnette is one of the best I've seen with animals. My dog Mavis is a retired service dog. She is temperamental and slow to warm to people. Lynnette is the first person I've seen Mavis interact with who could sit with and pet her, in the first 5 minutes. Mavis was so at home with Lynnette and tried to guard Lynnette when I arrived to bring her home. Lynnette played, walked, and relaxed with Mavis. She sent me updates, pictures, and videos of Mavis having a wonderful vacation. She has an enclosed yard that allows dogs to safely explore outside. I highly recommend Lynnette!”


“Micki is one in a million! We were gone for 24 hours for a wedding out of town and she took beautiful care of our fur babies! We got pics and notes the whole time we were gone. She walked our doodle until he was exhausted which is perfect and our house looked better when we got back than when we left it! We absolutely love Micki and will book with her again! We trust her implicitly. ❤️”


“Jamie is absolutely incredible, my dog doesn’t always take well to strangers but he and Jamie were pals from the start. Jamie made us feel comfortable when leaving our fur baby for the weekend and we will definitely be using Jamie’s services again!!!”

“Lauren is fantastic and the absolute best! She’s dog/cat/house sat for me multiple times over the last two years. She’s so loving with my pets, super responsive and responsible, takes great care of the house (it’s always cleaner than when I left!), and is just a lovely person! Book with Lauren! You will be so happy you did!”


About: I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with a lovable dog named Marley (in my profile picture). At just 10 years old, I started walking dogs around my neighborhood, and that grew into a passion for pet care. While I’ve mostly catsat over the years, I’ve also had the unique experience of snakesitting! Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I love all animals and treat every pet like my own. My schedule is currently open and will be until this upcoming school year. My other passion is working with children and i’m planning to be a substitute teacher starting this fall! I grew up with the notion “leave the place better than you found it.” I’m very aware of leaving a clients home nice and clean. I’m not afraid of picking up pet messes and i’m very good at putting things back where I found them. I pay close attention to care instructions as I believe it’s important to keep a pet on their familiar schedule.

“Veronica is the sweetest dog sitter we've ever met. Our dog is in love with Veronica. She not just a dog lover, she is our dog's best friend. We are very happy with Veronica. She's the best!”


About: Hi! I’ve been dogsitting and walking for the last 5 years while i’m in college! I specialize in smaller dogs but also have cared for bigger dogs as well! I am a Nursing student at the SRJC currently on Summer Break. My availability is open through the Mid of August. I can also care for your fur animals beyond August ! I respect the wishes that each client has towards the care for their fur baby :) I am available during the week and weekends summer time !

About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs my whole life. Growing up on a ranch, I was constantly surrounded by pups, some mine, some rescues, and all full of personality. I’ve cared for big dogs, nervous dogs, high-energy goofballs, and everything in between. I used to have a Great Pyrenees and a whole crew of German Shepherds, and now I’m just really missing having dogs around. I always follow any feeding, walking, and medication instructions to a T, and I’ll keep you updated with pics and notes so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I don't have dogs at home right now, so your pup will get my full attention without competition or stress. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone calm and loving to hang with, I’m your girl! I work full-time from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which means I’m available for evening check-ins, walks, or playtime during the week. I’m also free most weekends and would love to spend that time hanging out with your pets. Whether it’s a quick visit, a post-work walk, or some weekend company, I’m happy to help however I can! I know firsthand how important our animals are—they’re family. As a pet parent myself, I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone new with your pet. That’s why I go above and beyond to make you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. I treat every animal like one of my own and make it a priority to follow your routines exactly, so your pet feels safe, relaxed, and loved in their own environment. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always respectful of your home. You can count on me to show up when I say I will, give your pet the attention they deserve, and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how things are going.

“Sheryl did a great job watching our two cats and house. She was very thoughtful and shared very through text messages letting us know how things were going. She did everything we asked and more. We will definitely be asking her to watch our pets again. Thanks Sheryl!”


About: At my youngest age, I balanced on the lines of wanting to be a veterinarian or a marine biologist. My passion for animals and other life forms on this planet fuels my love and enjoyment of spending time with the pets I have and had in the past, along with new furry friends to meet. Currently working a flexible internship with a good amount of free time. Happy to fill it walking doggos, checking in on any furry friend, and love pet sitting over night. Safe and quiet home environment with a private backyard and lots of windows to catch sun rays. Play space and plenty of toys to choose from. I am also a person who enjoys talking to animals so I will consistently talk to them!

About: I have been a pet sitter for many years starting when I was 12 where I was puppy training and house sitting twice a week for 3 years. I love animals but I am allergic to cats so I will need to know about cats before hand. My schedule is very flexible this summer so I can work whenever. I have a few trips planned this summer but other than that I am free Monday-Saturday until September. I love playing with animals taking them on walks, playing with toys and teaching them tricks if I can. I consider myself an athletic person so I mostly would spend my time taking the animal on walks if I can.

About: I love all dogs and cats, and birds. My whole life I have had dogs and cats. Over many years, my pets have been schnauzer mix, sheepdog mix, rottweiler, pitbull mix, boxer mixes, and now Yorkie mixes. I am strong and love to walk dogs and play. I allow pets on furniture and beds. But if you don't want your pet to bring these habits to your home, I will honor your requests to keep them off the furniture. I am experienced with bathing dogs, but I am not a groomer or nail trimmer. I am energetic and attentive to your pets needs. Senior dog care is my specialty. I have soft pet stairs to get to the couch and bed. I have a pet stroller for sniffing and sight seeing without over exertion. We also have pet pads and diapers if incontinence is an issue. Our home is clean and pet friendly/safe. We are looking forward to caring for your pet🐕 I am available most days and weekends. This is perfect for pets with separation anxiety or pets who have a lot of energy and want to play or walk a lot. I have a 1 mile walk 2x per day. Lots of shade and slow minimal cars in the area. I will maintain any habits you have for your pet. Yes on furniture, no on furniture. Yes to crate(I have large and small crates) or no crate. Special diet or simple diet. Etc. I have experience with giving meds- oral, topical, injection (intramuscular or subcutaneous...not intravenous), ear meds, wound care. I have 2 small dogs. But if you dog doesn't appreciate other dogs, I can easily keep them separated. My yard is securely fenced and I have dog doors for anytime access and can be closed for any reason ex: at night etc. I am very trainable to care for your pet the way you want them to be treated.

About: Experienced with all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I provide calm, attentive care, stick to routines, and handle meds or special needs confidently. Pet care is currently my top priority at this time, allowing me to be able to focus on your pet and their specific needs every single day. In clients' homes, I follow their pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and meds as needed. I keep the space tidy and pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free.

As well, she is very kind, supportive, and always there for anything you need.”
