House Sitting in Banta

About: I love teaching dogs new tricks, especially puppies. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and ages. I also love a good coffee run so pup cup anyone? I am currently a college student as well as a part time teacher. Watching after your dogs fits perfectly into my evening and weekend routines. I am a clean freak, so all messes will always be clean before you come home. I also ensure communication with all pet parents on the well being of their fur baby.

About: Pet owner forever. Fostered dogs in the past. Animal advocacy is very important to me and I feel every person should feel obligated to help any animal in need. I am available 24/7 Monday thru Sunday and live in the 95376 part of Tracy ca. I am able to travel anywhere in Tracy for multiple drop in visits and am willing to travel to Lathrop and Manteca for once a day visits. We have a very large fenced backyard. All grass. No swimming pools and no water hazards. All dogs have free range to come in or go out through the doggy door. The door can accommodate large dogs up to 130 lbs. If your pet is not used to using a doggy door, I can open the door manually for their potty breaks. All dogs will be inside at bedtime. I provide the space for them to run and play ball and frisbee. I also walk with them daily. If I will be staying at your home, I am comfortable with cameras being used and ask that you provide instructions so that I can provide the best possible care for your pet. As a pet sitter, your dog is my priority.

“Donna was absolutely amazing with our Biscuit. She was incredibly well executed in terms of our dog's medication needs and care. She was so wonderful in her communications with us during our trip and considerate in her actions in and outside of our home. We would invite her back anytime and would highly recommend her services to friends and neighbors 😄”

“Daniella is wonderfully attentive to our 4-month-old puppy’s needs. Ash is still in the midst of potty training, and Daniella patiently observes Ash’s cues to ensure he makes his potty breaks on time. She doesn’t hesitate to spend time with him in his indoor playpen, actively engaging him in play while ensuring his safety, especially now that he can reach the top panel at chest height. Daniella also keeps our daily journal up to date with Ash’s meals and potty schedule, which helps us stay on track with his routine. We’re so grateful for her care and attention.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, and have been around dogs since I was 6. I am able to provide senior pet care, tend to anxious animals, and I care about the animal’s comfort, safety, and peace of mind. I currently work a part-time job, with an unfixed schedule, so I am willing to do pet work outside of work hours as best I can, whenever I have time outside of work. In client’s homes, I am able to work with any schedule your dog needs, (medication, outside time, walks, etc.) I make sure pets feel comfortable and I am not a stranger to them. They are supervised and given all of the outside access they need for potty breaks, and they are being fed on time and well handled with care.

“Amazing! She was great with Oso. Made us feel way more comfortable to go on our long trip and leave him at home. Will definitely keep in touch with Bella. Thank you!”

“We are so happy with how Maci cared for our pets. We don’t get many chances to go out of town due to our German shepherd having severe separation anxiety. She took the time to meet them and ask questions and before staying in our home. For the first time my anxious dog was calm when we were leaving, he even seemed a bit happy. His whole demeanor was at ease which made our trip more enjoyable knowing our pets were in good hands.”

About: I’ve owned a dog nearly my whole life, 3 dogs in total. One poodle when I was younger, a shorkie, and a pitbull husky mix I found on the side of the road. I also have around 3-4 years experience in volunteering at animal shelters, doing doggy day outs, summer dog walking and fostering. I care for my dog each day, he’s become apart of me. Everyday I wake up, take him outside so he can run round and relieve himself. Then I fill his food and water bowl, at least 3 times a day to make sure he gets the right nutrition. I take him on walks and play with him alot, he’s love fighting my hand it’s so cute. I treat every pet like my family, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I’ll stick as close as I can to their normal routine such as meal, walks, playtime and any special care so their environment feels consistent and safe. In my home your pet will get a calm space with lots of attention and affection. In your home I will respect your space while keeping your pets routine exactly how they’re used it. I will also send videos a pictures throughout the day so you can feel at ease.

“Natalia did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat and our house. She was highly communicative, very flexible as our plans shifted, and sent tons of adorable photos and videos that were so reassuring to us as we traveled. She left our house in better shape than we did, and was generally a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!”

“Book Jazmin for your pet sitting needs! We booked Jazmin for overnight pet sitting in our home and had a great experience from our meet and greet and our vacation. She gave our shy little guy so much love and treated him like her own. She was very patient with our dog and followed all of our instructions. Jazmin is so great with animals. She was very responsible and kept us updated throughout her stay. We returned to our home and it was exactly how we had left it! Thank you for watching our fur baby. We will definitely be booking again in the future. So glad we found someone so great we can trust to watch our dog and home! Thank you 🙂”

“We had a pleasure to have Courtni as a sitter she was wonderful and took excellent care of our Daisy! Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very friendly and was great with our Daisy! When we came home after work our Daisy was relaxed and happy. I would definitely be using her in the future again.”

About: Many clients have said they send their furry babies to us for a well-deserved vacation while they enjoy one themselves! My husband, Sebastien, and I moved to Fair Oaks, CA in the summer of 2022. While we missed all our human and furry friends in the Bay Area, we are very excited to meet new ones. We LOVE all pets; however, at the moment, we don’t have any of our own. We only board one pet at a time, ensuring they receive 100% of our love and attention. We may consider boarding two dogs at the same time if they are from the same family, love each other, and each weighs under 60 lbs. Having worked with many different breeds, we are comfortable with boarding, walking, feeding, administering medicine, playing with, caring for, and cleaning up after them. We are both active community members and have volunteered at various places, including Lytton Gardens (senior living), the Nine Lives Foundation (cat shelter), Chung Tai Zen Center, Garden to Table, teaching in Romania, Silicon Valley Volunteers, food banks, the Fair Oaks Chicken Festival, and the Sacramento County Holiday Toy Drive, among others. We both work from home now, so we are more available than ever to provide the best care for your dogs. Please note the important information below: 1, We only board one pet at a time, ensuring they receive 100% of our love and care—guaranteed! 2, We follow owners’ guidelines 100% to ensure pets don’t go home with new habits or need to be retrained. 3, We never give them human food or dog treats unless specified by the owners or provided by them. If they are allowed to have a piece of apple or carrot, please feel free to let us know, and we will be happy to share while the dogs watch us cook. 4, We ensure that all dogs receive the same amount of exercise, or more, while with us. For active and energetic dogs, we provide at least two walks per day and visit parks and river beaches on weekends. For smaller, more home-loving dogs, we enjoy cuddling and playing with them whenever they want. 5, We live in a four-bedroom single-family house with a fully fenced backyard (with a tall fence). Dogs are always welcome to use the yard for their business and playtime, and they are never left unattended in the yard. There are no kids, no roommates, and no other pets in the house. 6, We don’t allow dogs in our care to interact with other dogs. We always cross the street when encountering another dog on walks, as we can’t predict their chemistry or how the other dogs will behave. 7, We avoid dog parks due to potential unknown risks. 8, If your dog has separation anxiety, we are happy to accommodate by never leaving them home alone. However, it would be very helpful to discuss this during our meeting or via message so we can avoid making social engagements or reschedule in advance. We typically only leave them for two hours, or a maximum of four hours. Please bring food, snacks, treats, and any medications. It would be very helpful if feeding instructions and medication dosages are included in their profile or written on a piece of paper. We have a dog bed in each room (with a cover washed after each stay), so if you forget or your pup isn’t picky, we’re covered on that. We also have water and food bowls in various sizes, which are washed after each meal, and water bowls are cleaned daily😄 We look forward to meeting you all! More notes: If you have specific requests regarding the number of updates, pictures, and videos you would like to receive each day, please let us know in advance, and we’ll gladly accommodate. Otherwise, you can expect at least two updates every 24 hours. We believe keeping you informed is essential for peace of mind! We both have full-time jobs in tech (engineering and finance) and work from home. Caring for furry babies is our passion We welcome feedback and would appreciate a review afterward. However, there’s no issue if you don’t get around to it—we won’t ask for one.😸🐶🐻‍❄️🐷 We both work from home so we can accommodate to each dog’s schedule. Normally one of us walk them 20-40 minutes in the morning (unless told not to due to age/injury), and provide potty breaks at least 3 - 4 times during the day. Some sort of mental stimulation in the afternoon, and one more longer walk or fetching/playing in the afternoon/evening. Timing will be dependable on temperature. Last potty break is between 10 to 11pm before bed. Playtime is available throughout the day. Dogs are always secured with a dog seatbelt in the backseat of our Outback when we take them out. We have a tall fenced yard, and we do not allow dogs to be in the yard unattended. We eat twice a day without snacking in between, so there’s no human food or snacks left around the house. We do the dishes immediately after we eat.

“I can’t say enough great things about Danica!! I was very nervous to leave my new rescue for the first time, as she can be slightly reactive to people. But Danica was so great with her, giving off gentle and calm energy. Will easily book her again :)”
