My utmost priority is to create a nurturing and fun environment, fostering their happiness and keeping their tails wagging or whiskers twitching!

Your furry friends deserve nothing but the best care, and I’m here to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and have the best time while you’re away! 😊 I currently work part-time at a flexible studio (I work no longer than 4-hour shifts so your furbabies are never left for longer than 5 hours at a time!).

About: I have enjoyed helping my parents and neighbors with animal and house sitting over the years and managed anywhere from 1 - 2 independent pets up to 5 pets at a time (dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, reptiles). I am currently a part-time student looking to extend my animal care experiences to pets in your home. I specialised in animal behavior while studying neuroscience at the Claremont Colleges and will be very attentive to your animals needs in my care. I also have experience administering topical/oral medications as scheduled. I am continuing my education part-time and available to help mostly afternoons. Please contact me 1-2 weeks in advance for HOUSE STAYS otherwise I am flexible to assist with regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, etc. with 1-2 days notice. When caring for animals in clients homes I will be sure to follow any set guidelines or recommendations provided to me. I enjoy meeting animals energy levels with exercise (walks, outdoor play), toys, training reinforcement, or simply good pets. I will be respectful of you and your animal's space to reduce stress and encourage normal/beneficial behaviors.

“Spencer was wonderful. Daily photos and words that gave us comfort that our Finn was doing well. I would hire him again and again. It’s been decades since we have needed a petsitter - and Spencer did everything to assure us he could handle the job.”


“Jeremy and Rosie are fantastic! We have a high maintenance fur baby that has some serious separation anxiety issues, and they did an awesome job. We got updates throughout the days with pics. We were gone for a long weekend and came back to our house looking great too. We will definitely rebook with them again! Thanks!! Stephen”


“Teva was absolutely wonderful! She provided updates 3 times a day with pictures of my pup. She understands the importance of keeping an owner at ease while they are away. She is respectful and I will use her again in the future. This was my first time using rover and I was extremely nervous but Teva surpassed all of my expectations. I would recommend her to anyone!”


“I contacted Concetta REALLY last minute- I mean the day I needed a dog sitter, and she responded immediately and she was able to do it. She communicated really well with me while she stayed the night with my dogs and she was with them for longer than any other sitters stayed with them, usually my sitters left first thing when they woke up but Concetta hung out with them for a bit! She’ll be my new go to sitter!”


About: With 4 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m certified in dog CPR and have multiple dog handling certifications, which means your pup’s safety is always my top priority. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and extra love. I treat every dog like my own, with respect, understanding, and lots of belly rubs! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I currently work part-time as a kennel technician, so I’m already caring for animals daily feeding, cleaning, monitoring health, administering meds, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Outside of that, I make time each week for pet sitting and drop-in visits. My schedule fluctuates so I always try to work my schedule around yours! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In clients' homes, I stick closely to your pet’s routine regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any house rules you’ve set. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own space while keeping you updated with photos and messages. When pets stay with me, they get a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, enrichment, and quiet time to relax. I limit the number of animals I care for at once to make sure each one gets the time and care they deserve. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first, no matter where they are.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from my own dog to my best Friends dogs. I have worked with all types of dogs. I enjoy the dogs and try to make the dogs have a fun friendly environment while away from their owner. I currently have plenty of time in each day to take care of dogs. I can come on call anytime as I have mobility to get to where I need. I care for pets by understanding their behavior and doing what I am asked of by the owner. I am friendly and give the dogs an environment they can be happy in while the owner is not there.

About: Hi! I'm someone who genuinely adores animals and treats every pet like family. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for pets of friends and family. I'm extremely reliable, detail-oriented, and always put your fur baby’s comfort and happiness first. Whether it's walks, snuggles, or sticking to a routine, I’ve got you covered!! You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away! I recently moved back to the area and have a very open, flexible schedule—perfect for giving your pet the time and attention they deserve!

I currently offer care in my clients' homes, as I have two cats of my own.

I'm always respectful of my clients' space—clean, trustworthy, and attentive to both their home and their pet's needs.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. At this point I have watched pets for family and friends. I am experienced with senior dogs that require regular medication. I am available for walks, overnight, and daytime visits as well. I’m a graduate student and work part time at my local library branch. I also have previous experience as a medical assistant and will work with you to make sure to give your pets the same care I would like my own to receive. I also have experience with cats, plants, and keeping reptiles. I work 30 hours a week and am off Thursday/Friday and Sundays. On those three days I am available to give your babies my undivided attention. I do work on Saturdays from 9:30-5:30 I can watch your pets in the comfort of your home and provide company with my dog Fritz-b as well. I have my car and will work with you to provide peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’m Shawna — Unlike a regular dog walker, I provide one hour structured walk/runs to safely burn excess energy and reinforce calm leash behavior — ideal for high-drive dogs. I specialize in structured walks (working with dogs that pull the leash) and 2+ mile minimum walk/runs to help dogs burn energy and feel calm. I’m comfortable with strong-willed or high-energy pups. Whether your dog needs a peaceful walk, consistent leash guidance, or a good run, I bring calm, confident energy and real experience. Some dogs thrive on variety! If you’d like your pup to enjoy the beach, trails, or a park, I offer 1hr adventure outings starting at $120. This includes transport up to one hour drive time round trip, a safe and fun outdoor experience, and drop-off back home. Extra driving is billed at $60/hr (not including my own commute). Let me help your dog stay happy, tired, and well-exercised. A tired dog is a happy dog. Caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I have a high-energy cattle dog of my own, so daily walks, playtime, and structure are built into my routine. I’m also a runner, so exercising dogs through long walks or runs fits naturally into my schedule — it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my days around being active and outside, which makes it easy for me to give pets the time, attention, and movement they need I’m happy to care for pets in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and affection. I’ll respect your space, keep things clean, and communicate clearly while you’re away. I always aim to make your pet feel safe, loved, and calm while you’re gone — and make the transition as stress-free as possible for both of you

About: Hi y’all! I’m a local and have slowly been building a clientele, so I thought to put a profile to easily share with them my availability. I honestly do this for fun! I have years of expertise taking care of all sorts of animals. I am patient and a good listener with your fur babies. In addition, I am detailed when it comes to instructions from the owners on what the pet needs and their behaviors. No stone goes unturned. Because I do this for fun, the money is the last thing on my mind. So, if you’re on a tight budget, I hope my low rates help you out. If you still need to arrange something that fits your budget, please contact me! I am happy to help. I hope to be part of your fur baby’s life! I’m currently working full time, so I’m available for full pet care on the weekends. However, if you need pet care and you are in a rush/in an emergency, feel free to reach out and I am always happy to accommodate when possible. I make sure that when taking care of pets in a clients home that everything is left spick and span— I’ll sometimes do light cleaning so that owners come home from their long trip to a sparkling home that smells fresh and clean. When taking care of pets in my home, it is the same way. I will always dedicate plenty of time to your fur babies and they will be with me wherever I go.

“Kathy was awesome! She kept us well-informed and our incorrigible canine Bree happy and healthy. Kathy went above and beyond and the house was well-kept and well-maintained as well…”


About: I grew up with a dog and for the past 5 years have lived with and taken care of 3 dogs, and for the last 3 I've taken care of 2 horses and a pig. I've often been the go to among people I know for animal sitting and have experience with fish cats snakes and various other reptiles. Currently unemployed and out of school, on a bit of a break, so I check on our animals routinely but they're rather solitary for pets. I volunteer at the monterey bay aquarium on Mondays which has me occupied from late morning to mid afternoon. I like to be in the same room as whatever pets I'm taking care of so I can casually monitor them . I like to take dogs out for short walks every few hours, although I have a tendency for longer walks if I'm doing fewer.

About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family and Hilo goes most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.

About: I grew up caring for a variety of my families animals including dogs, cats, chickens, pigs and horses!

This means that during this time I have a very flexible and open availability to fit your needs! I offer trustworthy, personalized pet sitting and dog walking.
