Pet Sitting Woodland

About: I have had pets my whole life and taken care of other people’s pets since I was a kid. My favorite thing to do was hang out in the pet store. I probably drove them nuts. I am home all day and would love to make a job out of caring for your pets. My availability is open at this time. I have a fenced yard, Pets are free to go in and out during the day and evening, I prefer to crate at night time, but it’s not a hard no for them to sleep out.

“Emily was great with our cat, she gave great care and lots of updates while we were gone. We’d absolutely have Emily pet sit again”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Friends and family have trusted me for walks, feeding, playtime, and snuggles. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m dependable, patient, and love giving every pet the same care I give my own. I’m a full-time student with open blocks throughout the day and weekends free, making it easy for me to fit in walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. I care for pets in their own homes so they feel safe and loved. I stick to their usual routines, give lots of playtime and cuddles, and make sure they’re happy while you’re away.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from energetic puppies to senior pets who require extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable keeping up with feeding routines, facilitating playtime, going on long walks, and even administering medications when needed. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and provide them with the care they deserve! Mornings: Walks, Feeding, litter box care, morning playtime and medication care. Afternoons: cuddle and enrichment time Evenings: Walks, feeding, medication care, and bed time routines, I provide reliable, compassionate care for pets right in the comfort of their own homes. Services include drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter box care, and administering medications when needed. I prioritize keeping pets on their regular routines, providing attention and playtime, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their home and pets with respect, providing updates and peace of mind every step of the way.

“Teresa goes above and beyond while caring for my furry ones! She's an excellent communicator and will always let us know of any concerns arise! My cats have gotten quite comfy with her and look forward to Teresa coming by for a drop in! Thank you!!!”

“Sophia took wonderful care of my little fur baby while I was out of the country traveling. She was incredibly kind and attentive with him, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She even spent more time with him than she was supposed to, which I truly appreciated. It meant a lot to know that he was getting extra attention and care while I was away. I’m so grateful for everything she did, and I would absolutely recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I’m a UC Davis PhD candidate who has experience with shy, senior, and special-needs pets. Every visit includes play, cuddles, and attentive care (not just feeding and leaving). I always send photo updates and can administer medications as needed. Fun fact: I once gave medication to a pelican! ❤️😸🐶❤️ I understand that every pet has individual needs, and I am especially mindful of each animal’s comfort level, particularly when it comes to administering medication. I have completed formal pet first aid training, including bleeding control and emergency response basics. I also have formal training in dog grooming and hold a certificate from a 30-hour grooming course. My grooming experience centers on safe, low-stress, in-home care for pets who are comfortable with gentle handling. I focus on animal comfort, clear communication, and following owner instructions rather than salon-style grooming. I offer basic grooming services such as bathing, brushing, light deshedding, and general hygiene support, using owner-provided supplies. I do not offer haircuts, breed-specific styling, shaving, or heavy dematting. My approach prioritizes the pet’s well-being at all times, and I will pause or stop a grooming session if a pet shows signs of stress. In addition to caring for household pets, I have also volunteered at WildCare, a wildlife rehabilitation center in San Rafael. That experience required extreme attention to dietary detail, safety protocols, and thorough documentation since the animals' care plans were highly specific and needed to be followed precisely. I learned the importance of carefully monitoring health, behavior, and intake, maintaining accurate records, and communicating clearly to ensure continuity of care across caregivers. This is where my fun fact comes from: I even helped administer foot and oral medication to a pelican! As someone who has grown up with multiple pets, I’m especially mindful of multi-pet households. I keep additional-pet rates reasonable so that families with multiple pets can receive attentive, consistent care without feeling penalized for having more than one animal. When it comes to pets, the more the merrier! I teach classes eight hours per week, but my schedule is very flexible outside of my teaching times. I live by my calendar and plan pet care commitments carefully, and I’m always happy to accommodate pet parents’ scheduling needs whenever possible. This allows me to reliably offer drop-in visits and walks throughout the day, including mid-day check-ins, evenings, and weekends. For house sitting, I follow industry-standard expectations where pets are typically comfortable being left alone for 6–8 hours during the day. This allows me to maintain my responsibilities at UC Davis and a normal daily routine. Requests for pets that cannot be left alone for at least 6 hours typically fall into near-constant care and will require adjusted rates due to the substantial time commitment. I treat each client’s home and pet care routine with care, respect, and attention to detail. I am a homeowner myself, so I understand the importance of treating each person's house as though it were my own. I’m careful to secure doors and gates, return keys properly, clean up after visits, and leave the home exactly as I found it so that pet parents can enjoy their time away without added worry. I am attentive to every pet’s comfort level, especially when administering medication or working with shy or cautious animals. I provide clear visit updates and photos so there are no surprises, and owners know exactly how each visit went.

“Michaelle did a great job checking in on my cat! She was super communicative, responded quickly to messages, and also sent plenty of pictures and videos during the visit! My cat looked very happy to hang out with her!”

About: I have always been an animal lover and have had pets most of my adult life. Currently, I only have a senior cat who is living her best life. In addition to my own pets, I have had experience sitting for friends and family. I have lots of time to spend with your pets and give them lots of love. I’m currently not working outside the home and would love nothing more than to be able to spend time with animals and help fill a need at the same time. I will care for client pets as if they were my own. I will treat their home with respect and follow their instructions to the letter. I have plenty of time to spend with their pets and give them lots of love.

“Chelsea watched our two cats for a week, and was so wonderful! She sent us very thorough updates, lots of pictures every day, and made sure they got lots of play time with their favorite toys. Chelsea pet sat for us over Christmas, and we are so grateful for her accommodating our holiday travel plans. I didn’t worry once while we were away and felt confident that they were in very good hands. Thank you for keeping our boys happy and safe while we were out of town!”

“Julissa and her husband did a wonderful job looking after our Misty when we were out of town for one week. We scheduled to have them drop in on her in our back yard and the weather got really hot while we were away. They paid her an extra visit to make sure she was taken care of and were able to arrange a solution to keep her inside and out of the heat. They’re kind, excellent with communication and genuinely cared for our dog. We can’t wait to hire them again.”

About: Dogs have always been family to me. When I care for your dog, I treat them with the same patience, respect, and affection that I give my own. I am a dog trainer with experience using positive reinforcement, reading canine body language, and building trust with dogs as individuals. My experience comes from years of hands-on care, training my own dogs, including my service dog, volunteering with rescues and shelters, and learning from every dog I have had the privilege to know. What makes my care different is that I pay attention to the little things. I am someone who notices changes in behavior, possible ear concerns, nail or coat issues, discomfort, or anything unusual that an owner should know about. My goal is not just to supervise your dog, but to truly care for their well-being and communicate with you. I have experience with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, from small dogs around 4 pounds to large dogs over 90 pounds. I have cared for bully breeds, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Goldendoodles, Poodles, rescue dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with special medical needs. Caring for my own Golden Retriever with myasthenia gravis and megaesophagus taught me the importance of patience, careful routines, and individualized care. I also have grooming experience, including bathing, brushing, nail trims, ear cleaning, and coat maintenance. I enjoy helping dogs feel comfortable and cared for. When appropriate, I love adding personal touches, such as sending dogs home with a toy or making homemade treats. I always check for allergies and dietary needs first to make sure everything is safe for your dog. I believe dogs need both physical exercise and mental enrichment. Depending on the dog, our day may include walks, fetch, training games, agility activities, puzzle toys, and playtime designed around their personality and energy level. My home is a dog-friendly environment where I focus on safety, comfort, and making dogs feel at home. Since I have a senior service dog, I take introductions seriously and make sure every dog is a good match for my home. My goal is simple: when your dog is with me, I want them to feel loved, understood, and cared for—not just watched. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I care for my own dogs in the morning, so I am usually available after 11 AM. Tuesdays and Thursdays are great days for daycare since I am home and able to provide attention, playtime, and companionship. I also take an evening break around 6:30 PM for my dogs’ dinner routine and am usually available again after 8 PM. I am happy to work with each client to find a schedule that fits both their pet’s needs and my availability. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while making sure every dog feels comfortable and happy. I am a positive reinforcement dog trainer, and I use my knowledge of dog behavior to provide safe, patient, and understanding care. I focus on building trust with each dog by learning their individual personality, comfort level, routines, and needs. Safety is one of my top priorities. I am someone who pays attention to the details and notices changes that may be easy to miss, such as changes in behavior, possible ear concerns, nail issues, skin irritation, coat problems, or anything that seems unusual for that dog. I always communicate with owners if I notice something concerning so we can work together to decide the best care for their pet. I have grooming experience, including bathing, brushing, nail trims, ear cleaning, and coat maintenance. I enjoy helping dogs feel comfortable and cared for, and I understand that regular grooming is an important part of a dog’s overall well-being. I have created a dog-friendly and senior-friendly environment in my home. I have ramps, orthopedic beds, and accommodations to help small dogs, senior dogs, and dogs who may need extra support feel comfortable. I also keep dog first aid supplies available and take safety seriously. I have two furry friends of my own who enjoy keeping other dogs company and providing opportunities for safe play and companionship. Because I have a senior service dog, I take introductions seriously and make sure dogs are a good personality match before daycare or boarding. I also use separate feeding areas and safe separation when needed to help prevent stress and protect each dog’s space. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and leave things the way I found them. I make sure your pet’s routine, comfort, and care are my priority. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and welcoming experience where every dog feels understood, loved, and truly cared for.
