“Tatiana was amazing while we were away! She went above and beyond, sending us photos and videos of Romeo and Elvis playing, giving them tons of attention (which they love), and even cleaning up their room without us asking. Both cats warmed up to her instantly, and it was clear they enjoyed her visits. Thank you again, Tatiana! We’ll definitely be booking with you again.”
“Joseph took excellent care of our cats while we were gone. He was super attentive and noticed that one of our cats wasn't eating from her tag activated food bowl. We had installed fresh batteries before leaving and one must have been a dud. But Joseph was able to get the bowl open for her until we got back. He sent detailed updates and was incredibly professional and kind. Next time we leave town we will definitely rebook with him!”
“Adaley took amazing care of my two kitties while I was gone for a week! I have one cat that has stress-induced urinary issues and was worried about leaving him, but Adaley communicated perfectly, set them at ease, and was prepared to give him meds if he needed it. I could tell from the adorable photos that my cats were super healthy and happy during her visits and I would 100% recommend her and would hire her again. Thank you!!”
About: I have taken care of lots of different breeds of dogs for many years, and always focus on creating a strong connection with them and the owner. I work part time so I have lots of free time to spend with dogs and cats! I love animals so I always make sure I have time for them! I am very attentive when it comes to taking care of a clients pet in their home. I make sure to pay attention to the exact details and requirements given to me so that both the owners and their pet feel safe, heard, and happy!
“Kamila was great and super helpful when we needed a sitter for our two cats. Communicated well and always arrived on time. Both cats were happy & healthy when we got home and even my cat that’s shy with strangers quickly warmed up to her. Would definitely book again in the future!”
“I can't say enough good things about Asuka! She took care of my two kittens during a drop-in visit and followed their very detailed and admittedly long feeding instructions to the letter. Communication was excellent throughout, and she even managed to get my shy kitten to come out of his shell, a rare feat. Having had some very difficult experiences with sitters in the past, including one that ended in a heartbreaking loss, it's not easy for me to trust anyone with my pets. While she didn’t know this, her professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail went a long way in reassuring me. She was punctual, respectful of my home, and even took the time to clean their dishes after the visit. Truly grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always been my passion and your pet's well-being will always come first. I work in a very timely manner and am proactive to let you know about how your pet is doing! I am in the process of becoming a certified dog trainer and spend 30+ hours volunteering at the animal shelter. I have open availability for the summer and would love to help care for your furry companion! My schedule is Sunday - Saturday, with earliest appointments at 8AM and latest at 8PM. Caring for pets in your home requires trust and respect. I keep to the main community areas of your home - this generally includes the living room, kitchen, and backyard, as well as access to one bathroom. I will assume any other place as off-limits unless otherwise specified. Supplies such as leashes, collars, harnesses, treats, etc. that you provide will be returned back to their original location at the end of my stay. Keys can either be left in a hidden lock box or on my person - I take care to properly label and safely store any keys to ensure they are returned when needed.
About: I’ve raised two energetic Huskies from puppies, so I’m no stranger to active breeds! Growing up, I also took care of a loving Golden Retriever, and have been walking and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or playtime, I provide dedicated and reliable care. As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide lots of attention to your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and for daily care or walks. I have a spacious, fenced yard, perfect for your dog to play and explore safely. My two friendly Huskies are great company for social dogs, and I’m equipped with crates if your dog needs a safe and quiet space to rest.
About: I have my bachelors degree in biology from Calpoly Slo where I gained experience in animal husbandry and behavior. I have worked with a wide variety of animals. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs as well as cats. I worked as a veterinary assistant where I gained professional experience caring for patients as well as boarders and assisting technicians with exams. Pet care would fit into my daily routine because it would give me the flexibility to work on freelance projects and apply for graduate schools. I hope to go into wildlife conservation and science education. I can care for pets in the clients home, I am available for drop ins, dog walking, and overnight stays. I can administer medications, provide enrichment activities, and whatever else is needed for the pet.
“Alyssa took care of my very shy cat—she actually saw him a few times! She sent me several photos, kept him happy with food, treats, and water, cleaned up a few messes, and gave him his meds. I’ll definitely have her again. Mary Juarez”

I also come with love and passion to make sure your pet has the best experience possible. And I will always keep in contact, as you are welcome to do the same.
About: Throughout my 7 years of taking care of dogs I've enjoyed every moment of it! I have taken care of dogs big and small. Family members, neighbors and coworkers have been very happy with my petsitting care and have asked me many times to look after their fur babies! Besides petsitting I have also volunteered for an animal shelter learning a lot of techniques on every aspect of how to properly train and be In charge of a dog :) I am currently unemployed right now so my full time job would be taking care of your dog! I am in college but my schedule is pretty open after class and very open on weekends. You will find I am very flexible! I am very attentive when it comes to petsitting and will make sure I give them all my love! I genuinely love animals and have always had connection with them so with that being said I will for sure respect their needs and space so they can be as comfortable with me as they can.
“Absolutely loved having Quinn & Kat look after my kitties. They were extremely responsive and my kitties seem SOO happy with them! Will definitely be a returning client!”
About: I understand that pets are more than pets, they’re family. I will make sure they feel loved and cared for in your time apart 🩷🐾 I am currently working per diem and am flexible during the day on weekdays as well! I am more than happy to work with your schedule. Especially for walking, I am more than happy to take them on a midday walk! I have cared for pets in other peoples home. I will spend time at the owners home with the pet, making sure their basic priorities are met (food, potty, etc). Once everything is in order, I will spend valuable time with them and honestly just talk with them, give them pets, play with them if they’re feeling excited. The more they get to know me, I appreciate just being a familiar presence for them.
“Sumaira is absolutely wonderful. She follows your directions to the letter, is on time and send pictures. My pets love her and I always come home to happy pets. I highly recommend Sumaira as her professionalism is unmatched!”

Sometimes a month, sometimes a month and a half. She was always the first person we asked to pet sit for us. We had two dogs, two cats, and one of the years we had fish too. Kayla watched our pets like they were her own. We were able to go on vacation without worrying about our animals because we knew they were in good hands. Additionally, when we came home from our vacation, their food and water was full, liter boxes clean. It's too bad she's moved away but I would recommend her to anyone.”
