Pet Sitting in Blue Canyon

“Very responsible and a definite animal lover - not just a job for her!”

Michelle G.

“Nancy’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She’s responsive, eager to make sure all my animals are well taken care of. Whether it’s walking my rat terrier or making sure the heater is working so that they don’t get cold at night, she’s thoughtful and goes the extra distance. And she sends me pictures of the dog and cats at every visit in real time. She’s just wonderful.”

Sally L.

“Molly has been a great resource for when I don't want to leave my puppy in her crate for the whole day. Will continue to use her when needed!!”

Sarah L.

“Carly was an excellent communicator. She took lots of photos of the pets and wrote up a detailed account of her visit. She asked good questions at our meet and greet which gave me confidence in that she knows what she is doing.”

Lezlie S.

“Majesty was extremely responsive and a great resource for an admittedly last minute request for a pop in to let our dogs out while we were at a Christmas party. I felt that our house instructions were read and acknowledged thoroughly, and majesty was communicative and reliable about showing up on time. We’ll definitely hire majesty again.”

About: Since high school I have had experience with normal pets to the exotic! I can honestly say that each animal is an individual that deserves their specific needs acknowledged and met. I do have experience with senior animals that need medication as well as special needs, there hasn’t been an experience that I haven’t learned from! I’ve even read books like Caesar’s Way in order to better understand my own pets and help them. I’ve even been known to be a bit of a perfectionist although that was in my earlier years now I can gladly say am a seasoned sitter! Please feel free to reach out to me before booking my care and I will answer any and all questions! Caring for your family member fits into my routine because at the moment I am a dog Mom of one dachshund with a good partner that loves her as much as I do! I also do volunteer work, which is extremely flexible. Aside from that a lot of what I do is online, which works out great when pet care is involved I will care for your family member by noting all of their needs as well as asking any questions I have about the environment if it was not already covered in our introduction. I like to take notes!

“Our 3 cats, two dogs and rabbit were well loved and cared for. Mikayla sent daily pictures and even walked the dogs daily. Every pet was calm when we arrived home after our long weekend. Very nice experience for them.”

About: I have a unique background with horses, farm animals, and dogs that want to walk all day in the forest. I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life. I have fostered kittens, boarded cats, and stayed with dogs up to 200 pounds. I am available overnight for weekends, nights, and extended periods between Nevada County and Placer County. I usually stay a week or more with fur babies. You can relax knowing I am keeping the utmost care and safety of your animals and home. I want to clarify during our visit if you need care at the 2-hour, 4-hour, or 6-hour interval beyond the overnight stay of 7 pm to 7am. I am currently available most days and nights due to my online graduate program. Communication is key! I will send daily pictures or updates. For best prevention, talking about the details with the owner and ground rules produces the best results. Topics will include where the pet feels most comfortable such a calm spaces or crating procedures. I make sure to go over emergency contacts and preferred clinics. Also, I keep a clean environment that ensures the safety of pets for food handling.

“Katie was amazing and took great care of Enzo. It was great to receive happy pictures of our pup enjoying his time with our sitter. Will book again!”

“Kristen is so thoughtful and caring with our dogs! She allowed us the peace of mind to enjoy a day away, knowing that our fur babies were looked after. We especially loved that she sent us a video of the pups while we were gone. While getting to know us, Kristen spent a good amount of time with all of the dogs and me, and I felt confident right away with her capabilities. I will definitely use Kristen again!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, goats, and even more exotic pets in both urban homes and rural off-grid environments. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or administering medicine, I treat every animal as a unique being with their own personality and needs. Friends and community members often turn to me for pet care because they know I genuinely love and respect animals as soulful companions. As an entrepreneur with a flexible schedule, I’m available for daytime visits, overnight stays, and extended care. I work remotely and manage my own hours, so I can easily tailor my availability to your pet’s routine—including last-minute needs or irregular schedules. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I offer a calm, loving, and secure environment where your animals can feel safe and at ease. I take time to learn your pet’s specific needs, preferences, and routines to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in your absence. I’m attentive to behavioral cues and quick to adapt to ensure trust is never broken. Whether we’re enjoying outdoor play or snuggling indoors, I create a grounded and peaceful space for them to thrive.

About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life. I'm recently retired from a long career as a professional equestrian and horse trainer, and I'm excited to begin this journey of offering pet care services to the community! I have experience with all types and ages of pets ... from very young to very senior. I have experience administering medications, giving injections, and basic first aid. My lifestyle is active, and I'm happy to provide whatever exercise that your pet needs, whether that is a long trail hike, or simply walks around the neighborhood. And lots of love and snuggles of course :) I also have extensive horse experience, and limited experience with other livestock, and I'm happy to provide services for those animals as well. I currently work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, which allows me to work around whatever your pet care needs are. I have a reliable 4 wheel drive vehicle, so I can get to some of the further out Nevada County destinations no problem. I pride myself on being punctual, organized and reliable, and you can rest assured that your pet(s) and home will receive attentive and loving care. I am happy to take care of any additional tasks that you might need around your home while you're away (checking mail, taking out trash, watering plants/garden, etc. )

“Aspen was great from start to finish! Aspen came to our apartment a few days before our requested stay to get a lay of the land and to meet our kitties, and she took notes about feeding and general care. Our cats do not require any meds or special care, but that doesn't mean I would want just anyone watching them... with Aspen's background in animal care I felt very comfortable. Under Aspen's watch, I received photo updates and felt good knowing Aspen was taking care of our little monsters. I would definitely book with Aspen again in the future!”

Lauren M.

“Having someone visit and feed the cat daily was a relief for us. Even though the cat didn’t make an appearance every day the food disappeared so we knew he was there. Just a bit shy and hid on Sheriane most days. This was much less stressful on Charcoal than going to a kennel. Sheriane checked in and kept us updated. 100% would use Rover and Sheriane again. Thank you”

“Mel did a great job taking care of my cat, he took to her quite quickly which made me feel ver comfortable leaving him I her care. I recommend her!”

About: Starting at the age of 12, I began volunteering at local animal shelters (Truckee Humane Society) as well as dog sitting for local Tahoe families. I am a huge advocate for taking time out of the day to get your pet exercise whether that be a leashed walk on a paved trail or an 8 mile hike into the wilderness. I work full time however, I am able to bring well trained social dogs to work. If you prefer for me to not take your dog to work, I live 10 minutes from my home so it is very convenient for me to let your dog out multiple times throughout the day! I love to take pictures of the adventures I bring pets on and keep the owner/owners updated. My friends would definitely describe me as a HUGE animal lover! I have references upon request.

“Incredible dog sitter, We could not have been more happy! Nate was interested in all of our pets, You could tell he cared about them. We trust Nate to be at our home, he was timely and followed through on everything we asked him to do. Nate went above and beyond, he watched our animals in a storm and the house got cold so Nate brought his own space heater to warm the house. Nate even offered to do more than expected. Nate’s communication is excellent, telling us daily about each pet and We will definitely use Nate again!”

About: I have been taking care of my own dog as well as pet sitting neighbors dogs since I was around 9 years old. I walked them and fed them twice daily and gladly spent some time giving them some love and playing with them. I then started working at horse stables, helping to feed them, clean stalls, take them out to graze, bathe them, and train them for years while taking riding lessons during the time as well. After that, I raised chickens at our home and was taking Agriculture and farm classes, and learning how to take care of the farm animals was a part of the course. During that time, I was also living on the mountain on a farm with an 100% pure wolf, a pit bull, two other dogs, and two other cats as well as taking care of the neighbors pigs, horse, and donkey. I have also have done volunteer work at animal shelters several times. I have always been an animal enthusiast and lover. Spending time with animals always fills up my heart with happiness :) I am available generally everyday, the times may vary, but I will always be able to discuss it with you and try to make a plan that works best for everyone. If they need to stay at my home, I have a fenced in yard as well as a crate in storage for small to medium size dogs if necessary and preferred. The animals will be staying inside my home and I will be around to let them in and out, feed them, and give them love! I live in a beautiful location surrounded by trees, trails, a lake, and a pond where I can take them out for walks/hikes everyday. They will get plenty of love here. Dogs are allowed on the furniture/bed only if they ask/are invited to. If you do not do that at your home, I will make sure to not allow that at our home either. If they are staying at your home, I am available any day for walks, visits to your home to feed and let them out, stay over while you are away, or whatever else you may need. I can work around what is best for everyone and discuss a schedule for what you need.
