Pet Sitting in Visalia

About: I have owned and taken care of many animals since I was young! From dogs to cats big and small, young to old, and all the way to the less common Rabbits, Lizards and a Tarantula. I've even fostered a few litters of kittens. In the dog department I grew up around a Rottweiler, and a Yorkshire Terrier. The dog I had the most hand in raising and training myself was a silky terrier who had a lot of skin issues and needed medicine daily his entire life for 13 years. Currently I spend at minimum once or twice a week at my local SPCA with their Steps4Pets program walking the local shelter dogs in my free time. And occasionally taking care of my families pets. I also do not mind helping or working on your dogs training and socialization, though please note I am just someone who knows is still learning to be a trainer. I am currently taking a small self study course on Behavior Creation and know a few good balance training techniques to keep your dog's mind engaged, happy and healthy. For walks if your dog has issues with leash reactivity that is okay! I am more than happy to walk your dog. I do know how to make leash pressure corrections for reactivity like pulling and aggressiveness towards other dogs or other animals. And I do bring treats with me on walks to positively reward your dog and good behaviors! I do these corrections simply for the safety of your dog and myself while on walks. Just like you I would want updates on my pets while I am away. So I am more than happy to keep you updated on your furry friend, with picture and videos updates! Currently I have a very free and open schedule, usually Weds -Sun for primarily dog walking, but I can do drop ins. Feel free to send me a message, and I will get back to you ASAP! For the safety of your dog or cat, I sadly at this time do not do boarding at my home. Please, give me a day ahead notice if you wish to book my services. So that I may have adequate time to get to know your pet, and where all of their necessities are. This includes leashes, treats, toys, food and medicine. Life happens! I 100% understand if you need to cancel, I none the less thank you for booking with me. If you wish to cancel please give me at least a 24 hours notice before the cancellation. I understand sometimes emergencies come up and I will take that into account. I care for your pets as if they were my own. I tend to always carry a calm demeanor when meeting a pet that's not my own. So they get to know me at their own pace. So if possible for a newer client I would prefer to met your pet before I take them out on a walk or drop in for you so that I can get more aquainted with them. For Drop in's this is so I know exactly what they need and where their leash, toys, treats, food and/or medicine is in your home. As said before I am experienced with older pets and with those that need to take medications regularly. For dogs I am more than happy to help with training for puppies or for even older dogs. Usually I always have treats on me. And for all pets I am happy to give them playtime and a good cuddle on the couch.

“Patty was so amazing with our 3 pups. She sent updates and pictures of how they were doing during her visit. I definitely recommend her! Thank you Patty!”

“Diana was so great with my senior husky. I had a short notice request to drop in and check on my husky while I was going to out for the day. It was a great comfort knowing Cali was in caring and experienced hands. Diana also sent great updates and I’d highly recommend her to care for anyone’s fur babies.”

About: Hi, my name is Sandra, I have owned pets for my entire life, all started when my dad brought into my life my first kitten and a small puppy, we also had a birds so o have experience on taking care of birds as well. I want to let you know that I’m here to help in all your needs while you are away. I know how sad is to be away from your furry friend and this is why i decided to help families taking care of their pets while they have fun in their vacations or trips, I will do my best to play and take care of you lovely pets, I will do my best to keep you updated on how your dear friend is doing, not just one time during the day but as much as you are ok to receive updates, because I know how frustrating is to leave your poppy with someone else you don’t know well and without getting updates during a day because one update is not enough, I will make sure to take care of them as they were mine. I have no problem keeping your pets inside of my house, if they are potty trained they can use the doggie door I have in my house. If you decide to leave your dogs at home and want me to visit them I can do my best for them not to feel lonely I can do multiple visits if you decide that. Let me know what ever is best for you and will do it as you wish:) Thank you in advance, I can not wait to meet your furry friend 💕😻🐶🐾 I’m at home most of the time, have plenty time to take care of my furry friends. My husband works all day, my daughters at school but I’m mostly at home. I will have from Monday to Sunday unless I say I can’t for any particular reason. Any questions or special requests, please let me know. I have a fence pool, if your dogs know how to swim they will be slow to enjoy the pool area. I don’t habe anything that will harm your baby during the stay. Any special restrictions, please let me know

About: I treat every pup like family! With years of experience managing a dog daycare and boarding facility, I’m comfortable with all breeds, personalities, and ages. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle senior care, I bring patience, love, and reliable care to every visit. I’m a stay-at-home mom homeschooling my 7-year-old, which gives me the flexibility and time to shower your pets with love, attention, and care throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They get plenty of love, playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment to relax in. I keep routines as close to what they’re used to as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment, and I always give them the same patience, attention, and affection as I would my own. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos so you know your furry friend is happy and cared for.

“Arianna did a great job following instructions we left for our puppy care! She sent us pictures of what our puppies were up to around the house and kept us updated ?? she did awesome!”

“Having Vanessa do drop in's on our cat while we were away gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing that she would give him some love and take care of his food needs. She was very professional and made me feel confident that our kitty would be in good hands. When we returned from our trip, Benny (our cat) was relaxed and I knew that the drop in visits by Vanessa did not cause him anxiety. We would definitely book Vanessa again!”

About: I am a certified vet assistant of 3 years. I love animals and I will make sure to prioritize your pets needs. I will make sure to listen to you and your pet to give the best care I can!

About: Hi I'm new to the area my family and I were recently relocated and stationed in San Diego with the Navy. With that being said I complexly understand the desire to have someone you can trust to look after and care for your fur baby. I grew up with dogs, cats, and even some birds. I've had pets off and on my whole life. Animals have always had a very close place to my heart and I will treat them as if they are my family. I don't have any breed preferences, I love all dogs, and cats. I would prefer meeting the dog once prior to sitting with them over a weekend. Just to be sure they feel comfortable with me as I know it can sometimes be a little scary for them to be in an unfamiliar place or with a unfamiliar person. I have had rescue pets and can understand that some need more attention and care than others and meeting each other before staying a night with each other can make it easier. I enjoy going for walks and tend to do about 2 miles in 30 mins. I understand some dogs need a good pace or distance to truly relax. Please message me I'd love to meet your fur baby. I am a mother so the times I am available tend to be while my own child is at school. Which will allow you to rest at ease knowing someone is caring for your fur baby. Having pets of my own I understand some animals are escape artists and will do everything possible to keep them safe. This includes when out walking, coming or going, checking the yard, and even crating them. There safety is extremely important let me know your concerns so that we can be on the same page.

About: I have had animals my entire life. I have always been a huge animal lover. I have a dog sad for many different people. A lot of people I know who have dogs tell me that they usually don’t like or are nervous around other people outside of their family, but they are comfortable with me. my dogs are my babies and I love them more than anything so when I am taking care of someone else’s pet, I treat them the same way I would treat mine because that’s someone else’s baby and they trusted me to take care of them. I am currently in school at COS so Monday through Thursday I will not be available until after noon. However, anytime after that will be available. I cannot offer any pet sitting in my home however, I will do it in the comfort of your own home. I will care for the pet by the instructions. I am given by their owners. I will gladly take them on long walks, to the dog park, or simply play with them in the house or backyard.

“Lolita is very good with our boy, Gunner. He seems comfortable and responds well to her. She is definitely going to be someone we look to the future with. Time will tell whether she wants to continue caring for him. Thank you, Lolita.”

Sherry L.

“Jacob was wonderful with communicating and giving updates. Leroy was well taken care of and not stressed. I would definitely recommend for anyone who has a pet.”

Misty H.

“Carola is amazing! She is incredibly thorough and always makes sure Bubba’s kibble and water bowls are full before she leaves. Bubba has separation anxiety, and she was so patient and gentle with him the entire time. I really appreciated the detailed updates she sent after every visit — they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Thank you, Carola! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again.”

About: I have always been infatuated with dogs for as long as I can remember. And although my parents weren't big fans of them during my childhood years. Once I got a my first home I was able to pursue my passion for dogs to the fullest and put all my research and knowledge to work as I am currently training my own Airdale Terrier to have service dog level obedience. My ultimate goal is to be a professional dog trainer and provide board and train services to the other pet owners out there who are responsible enough to want a well trained companion but may be a little short on time as today's fast paced life is all too common. That being said, homesitting and walking would be a breeze compared to the training me a Mr. Winston are doing on a regular basis so rest assured that your furry friends will be taken care of with the upmost Responsibility, safety and attention to detail. Thank you for your time and for reading this, have a great rest of your day! I am currently working full time so my services would be available in the evenings and on the weekends the more notice in advance the better so I can meet your pup beforehand and get an in person debrief on what exactly you would like me to do. I personally have a fenced in back yard where I train and exercise (play) with my pup. He is also crate trained so he stays inside for the most part. However I am able to accommodate any living situation you and your dog are in, inside or outside dogs I can take care of them with as much attention to detail as my own.

About: My husband and I have had pets all our lives! We love animals and especially our furry dog friends. We would love the opportunity to care for your furry loved one, to give them the care and love they deserve while you are away. We have a little Mini Schnauzer, age 12 years that loves his furry friends! He has been to puppy obedience classes and has done excellent with all other dogs! We also have a poodle mix girl 14 yrs that is sweet as can be! We also have a kitty named Sylvester who is 12 years old and a kitty named Cocoa that is 10 years, a rescue kitty, Jazzy 8 and a rescue kitty, Inky 12! Sylvester thinks he is a dog and very friendly! Cocoa kitty and Jazzy and Inky kitty are all friendly too but prefer to hide when new guests (people and animals ) come to visit! We have a nice little house perfect for an extra dog to share. We have a beautiful privacy fenced -in yard. We will take your fur-baby for walks for needed exercise! We can also watch your kitties for you ONLY if I feel it is safe! We prefer NOT TO DO ADULT CATS Our kitties are adults and they do better with kittens!! Very important to note! We hope you will consider us for your fur-baby! I’m home most of the time! So I’m flexible in the care of your pet! I prefer Monday thru Friday but will consider Saturdays also! I have a fully fenced in yard perfect for your pups! And we have a small doggie door great for your smaller pups if they are used to that!
