Pet Sitting Woodland

About: As a veterinary student at UC Davis, I have both professional knowledge and a lifelong love of animals. I’ve spent much of my life fostering dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to seniors, so I’m very comfortable adapting care to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. One thing that’s especially important to me is the human–animal bond. Our pets are family, and I understand the amount of trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I always strive to treat every animal as if they were my own while also respecting the routines and preferences that make them (and you!) feel most comfortable. I believe strong communication with owners is essential. I strive to provide consistent updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to give you and your pet peace of mind, ensuring your pet feels loved and well cared for and that you feel confident they are in knowledgeable, attentive hands. Through my veterinary training and extensive hands-on experience, I’m also comfortable administering medications and monitoring pets for any health concerns, especially for senior pets or those who need a little extra care. As a veterinary student at UC Davis, my schedule is decently structured, which makes it easy for me to plan dedicated time for pet care. Throughout the week, I’m able to schedule visits, walks, and check-ins, depending on what is needed, around my classes and studying. I always ensure that every animal gets the attention that they need, rather than rushing it. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life and future career, so spending time with pets fits very naturally into my routine. I prioritize reliability and consistency, and I always plan my schedule carefully so I can provide dependable care and clear communication with owners. I believe it is important to provide updates on when I visit and how your pet is doing! Whether it’s regular visits, walks, or check-ins while you’re away, I make sure each pet gets attentive, thoughtful care and that owners receive consistent updates. I always prioritize safety for your animal, but also ensuring that they have a comfortable environment that is the least disrupted when you're gone. I am very attentive to detail to the needs of your pets and ensure that all requests get done!

“Michaelle was so patient and flexible with my changing schedule! My cat also looks very happy to see her in the pictures she sent while checking on him!”

“Kathleen was very responsible and honest with her daily notes and pictures. I appreciated that she didn't push Rosie to do something she wasn't ready to do. An older dog can be stubborn or scared and pushing them is not always helpful. I would recommend Kathleen to watch our pet again.”

“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 did an excellent job with our two cats, consistently going above and beyond every day on her drop-in visits. She even bonded with our very shy cat who rarely comes out to greet anyone that she doesn’t know well. Sophia very kindly watered several of our more delicate plants as well in the woodland heat. We are thoroughly impressed with Sophia and very much hope to book her again in the future as our cats really took to her. 5 stars!”

“Chelsea took great care of my cat while I was out of town for the holidays. She gave cute updates and tons of photos of my cat having a great time. She even added a day at the end of trip when my flight got delayed. I came home to a happy and healthy cat. Will book again.”

“Thank you so much, Jazmine! She takes great care of our two kitties and I always feel so safe knowing she’ll be there while we are out of town. Highly recommend!”

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. I feel strongly that our homes are our sanctuaries and will make sure the home is secure and the pets are safe every time I leave.

“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”

“This was the second time requesting Faith as our wonderful dog sitter!! Responded quickly, sent the cutest photos and worked with our special requests for two miniature dachshunds. I would highly recommend Faith as your next dog sitter :)”

Matthew O.

“Very kind and communicative! Stayed with our pups in a hotel while we went to a family wedding. Felt very confident leaving our semi anxious dogs in her care. Highly recommend!”

Megan T.

“Quinn was fantastic with our pups and super communicative! I highly recommend!”

Allison H.

“Such a sweet sitter! She was so sweet, responsive, and sent us so many photos- really just went above and beyond. We came home to the sweetest doggy report cards that told us everything we needed to know. I would book with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you again!! 💌”

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. I got my first dog in second grade. My current dog is turning 15 in October. Our family dog is a 3 year old 80lb German shepherd mix so I’m not a stranger to bigger dogs! I also have a 3 year old cat, Luna. I got her from a cat rescue where I spent a summer volunteering with them. I am currently working part time so pet sitting will be my side job when I am not at work or taking pre req classes I will care for pets in your home by being attentive and actively watching them. I will make sure to get some good cuddles in and playtime.

“Hans is an absolute hero yet again!! Looked after our two cats with love, care, and great communication! As always their vote counts the most, and they were in fine spirits when we got back. 10/10 would recommend Hans!!”

“Mooney provided care for our dogs on Thanksgiving Day while our longer-term sitter was out. One of our dogs requires around-the-clock care, and Mooney was a lifesaver. After our previously scheduled sitter cancelled at the last minute, Mooney came by, met with us, learned how to take care of our disabled dog, took notes on everything... He was very professional, and the dogs loved him - even the one who is sometimes skittish with new people. On Thanksgiving Day, he let me know when he had arrived, sent me updates and pictures, and gave the dogs their meal and medicine. He did multiple potty breaks, which is a big ordeal with our disabled dog. I actually felt relaxed on Thanksgiving Day even though I knew I had sitters trading off while I was out of town! We will definitely keep Mooney on our go-to list of sitters.”

I've grown up with 2 dogs, but I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or just to relax, I’m happy to match their vibe and make them feel safe and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications, and handling multiple pets. My goal is to make your pet feel at home, even when you’re away :) I’d love to meet you and your pet, please feel free to reach out with any questions! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m typically available for morning and evening visits and I can accommodate weekend bookings as well. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and am happy to work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. Whether you need regular walks, check-ins, or extra playtime, please feel free to reach out—I’ll always try to make it work! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel secure and cared for at all times. I always follow owner instructions closely, and will update you daily. I create a calm, positive environment where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. During walks and visits, I stay mindful of surroundings to ensure your pet stays safe. I’m also extremely respectful of your home and your pet's space, and will treat it with the same care and responsibility as my own :)

About: I taken care of family and friends dogs which range from small to decently large dogs. While I was in the U.S. Army I worked and trained with German Shepherds. I have three cats and had the oldest for eight years now. I also have watch my family and friends cats so I sit both. If they are active pets, I can keep up with their energy. I will take care of your babies with no assistance except from the instructions of the parents(owners). I'm currently open and have a flexible schedule, so I'm happy to work around your pet's unique needs whether it's regular visits or last-minute plans. Your pet's comfort and routine always come first. If your pet needs medication or has a strict schedule, please let me know in your booking request so I can make sure I can accommodate their needs. I do require an in-person meet and greet before confirming any new booking. This helps ensure your pet feels comfortable and we're a great fit! As a proud cat dad, I care for my cats with a lot of love, patience, and attention to detail. Each of them has their own personality and needs, so I make sure their routines are consistent, their environment feels safe, and they get both playtime and quiet comfort. From feeding and litter box cleaning to brushing and cozy cuddle time, I treat them like family because to me, they are.

“Julissa and her fiancé were great! Our dogs warmed up to them quickly, they followed our instructions carefully, and sent lots of pictures each visit! Made us feel comfortable and relaxed during our vacation knowing our dogs were in good hands! Even cleaned up our dog’s poop on the lawn without us asking. Definitely recommend!!”
