“Kacey and Liz took care of our babies and we couldn't be more happy to have booked them. They were very sweet and patient with our cats and we were left with no worry during our trip. I will be booking them again!”


“Natalie was very communicative, took good photos, and overall gave our cats excellent care for a couple check ins, which we booked on somewhat short notice. Definitely recommend!”


About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I fostered puppies and adult dogs for four years, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I also grew up with working dogs, so I am very comfortable handling high-energy breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they require. Whether it's a playful puppy, an active working dog, or a senior pet needing extra patience and care, I adapt to each animal's individual needs. I am confident handling dogs on walks and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs as well :) I am a full time student looking to fill my summer by taking care pets instead of adopting more! I have extremely open availability, whatever your pet needs Ill be there. I wholeheartedly understand the anxiety and stress that can come with leaving your pet in someone else's care, I have those same feelings when it comes to my own pets. Because of that, I will treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness, along with your peace of mind, are always my top priorities. While I am caring for your pet, I will be readily available by text or phone and happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. 🐾

“Jenna was great with our two cats while we were out of town for the week! She made sure they had wet and dry food, water and clean litter boxes each day. Great communication and sent us pictures each day”


“Carrie was amazing! Needed a last minute check on our pup. She accepted and took care of her. She sent some pictures of our dog being happy and well taken care of. Thank you so much!”

“Very friendly sitter who got two shy cats to interact with her. She also cleaned up after the cats after they kicked litter everywhere and had some hair balls. Would love for her to watch the cats for our next trip!”

“Danielle is communicative, attentive, and punctual. She clearly has a lot of experience with cats, especially when it comes to litter box and GI/urinary issues. Highly recommend!”


About: I have worked with cats and dogs of all ages & sizes for the past 3 years with my previous employer, McCulloch Pet Sitting located in Las Vegas, NV. I recently have moved to Sacramento and am looking to continue pet sitting. I am Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid certified through American Red Cross. I currently am available for drop in visits and walks as of right now. Availability for overnight stays may open up in the near future. I am comfortable with pets of all kinds and will gladly perform proper feeding, walking and playing routines to ensure that they are well taken care of in the times requested.
“As always, Michelle took the best care of my three cats and their special needs, insulin injections, syringe meds, and tons of love and great photos. Thank you, Michelle! We can’t imagine traveling without you here 🐾🐾🐾”

“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”

“I had to take a last minute trip for about a week and luckily Michelle’s schedule was flexible enough to watch my little guy. My dog is super high energy and she was very thorough in exercising him whenever she visited! It was my first time leaving him for that long, but having Michelle watch him eased my worries completely. I know he had a great time playing with her every day! Highly recommend!”

“Such good communication whole process through, our fur baby's loved her. Took care of all the basic needs and gave lots of extra cuddles, will definitely book again and would recommend.”

“RJ goes out of his way to make my little senior dog feel cared for and loved. She loves to walk and sniff everything and he allows her to do so. My dog is both blind and deaf so I’m very picky with who I have watch her, but I always feel at ease when I know RJ is watching her. He updates me with photos and messages which is greatly appreciated!”

“Kat was absolutely perfect and I couldn't recommend her more highly! Excellent communication, lots of photos and details, always right on time, and so wonderful and attentive with my challenging cat. She made a long time away from my cat so much easier and anxiety free knowing she was on top of everything. I will 100% use Kat again in the future, she did an amazing job!”

“Andrea did a great job with our kitties! Usually the apartment is smelly from their wet food after a trip but this time, no smell! She let them out for balcony time which is pretty much their favorite activity during the warm months. Pic updates were awesome too!”

Khaili was great! She was available on short notice and we appreciated the meet and greet. Our cats were kept happy and she did great sending updates, communicating, and following our care instructions. I would highly recommend her and will be booking her to sit our kitties again!

Jazmine is such a life saver! We’re out of town for a weekend and I noticed on our pet cam that one of our auto feeders wasn’t running so I was panicking about our cats not having enough food. Jazmine accommodated a last minute same day booking request responding early in the morning and heading over to our place on a short notice. She went above and beyond what I even requested because I really just needed to make sure the cats had food, but she cleaned out their entire water fountain (which is a lot of work!), scooped all their litter and left the place super clean, and also spent time playing with them. We have a new cat that is in isolation right now and I provided very sparse direction but Jazmine knew exactly what to do with almost no direction, bringing her up another portion of wet food, changing out her water bowl for fresh water, and scooping her litter even though I didn’t even get a chance to tell Jazmine where we had placed the litterbox. I know whenever Jazmine is over our kitties and house are in good hands, and it’s a huge weight off my shoulders having a super reliable, professional, and responsible cat sitter who takes amazing care of my cats! Thanks a bunch Jazmine!

Payton did a great job watching our dog and two kittens. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands while we were away. Everyone was happy and well cared for when we got home. We’d definitely recommend Payton and would be happy to book with her again! 🤗

It's clear the amount of care and undertanding Jandy has of animals with the way she interracted with my cat. Not only does she spend significant time getting to know them and ensuring the human that their fur baby is in good hands, she also built my cat a blanket fort for enrichment while I was gone. It was very sweet and I know my cat was in good hands.
