House Sitting in Byron

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, and have a passion when it comes to working with animals. Growing up, I have always had dogs and cats, and have also worked with horses and goats. I am extremely comfortable with all animals and have some experience looking after reptiles as well. I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 4 years and feel the knowledge and experience I gained there aids me in my ability to care for pets with their best interests in mind. I can administor oral and injection medications, perform animal first aid/cpr, recognize unusual behaviors/acute illness, care for elderly pets, medically dependant/complex pets, and also am able to work with behavioral pets who may struggle to connect with new people and/or are reactive to other animals. I pride myself on my ability to understand the individual personalities of each pet, and their specific wants/needs. I love working with animals and connecting with new pets and their families! I am extremely active and can keep up with your high energy pets! I also pride myself on staying in contact with families and sending lots of updates and pictures during walks/drop ins. I am currently working as an early childhood educator, and would love to build on my flexible schedule with pet sitting and drop ins! I am available afternoons and evenings, as well as the occasional early mornings. I am observant when it comes to caring for pets in a home. I get down and play with them, offer lots of love and pets, and I can follow instructions/guidelines for your pet in your home.

“Laurel did an excellent job watching our critters. She is so attentive and communicative. When we returned, everyone was happy, healthy, and seemed like they had a fun weekend! Can’t tell you how much it means to be able to go away without worrying about the fur babies at home. 💕🐾”

“Michelle filled-in last-minute when our booked sitter from Rover was unable to fulfill the booking. She was fabulous! She came in advance to meet our pups and to get acquainted, She was flexible with her schedule to accommodate us. Her husband even helped out to backfill for times Michelle had to work (because this was last-minute). She took great care of our pups: feeding, walking, sitting. She sent us pictures and notes daily to let us know how they were doing, and even stripped the bed and ran the dishwasher before she left! We highly recommend her.”

“Brandi took awesome care of our 12 year old English Springer Spaniel, Winston. This is the first time he has stayed at home with someone he didn't know. Brandi came over before our vacation and how she interacted with Winston, I knew I choose the right person to care for him. She kept us up to date with his care and sent daily pictures. Usually when we come home from vacation, Winston is so excited. Last night, when we got home, he acted like we were not gone. I think he misses Brandi! We definitely are booking Brandi again for our next vacation!”

I had to say goodbye to my dog last year and wanted to help other owners with theirs until I’m ready to adopt one of my own. That’s going to take some time. I’m I will have a lot of fun with pet(s).

“Lily was great with the animals and they looked very happy in the photos she sent.”

“There are no words strong enough to describe how grateful I am for Lashay. She didn’t just watch my dog Juno — she loved him like her own. From the moment they met, I could see the patience, warmth, and genuine care Lashay brings to everything she does. Juno isn’t the easiest dog. He’s big, emotional, and full of personality. But Lashay showed incredible calm and understanding, meeting him with kindness every step of the way. She gave me thoughtful updates, photos, and messages that made me feel completely at ease — and honestly, a little jealous because he looked so happy. But it didn’t stop there. Lashay took care of my cat too — with just as much love and attention. I’m not sure how she balances so much with such grace, but I do know this: my animals were in the best hands possible. If you’re lucky enough to have Lashay care for your pets, take it. She is one of a kind. Loving. Professional. Communicative. And above all, trustworthy. Juno and I are forever thankful.”

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🐾 My heart belongs to my 8-year-old miniature schnauzer, my little old lady bestie who came from a tough past. Caring for her through trauma and anxiety has made me a more patient, attentive, and compassionate pet parent which are skills I bring to every pet I care for. Most recently, I welcomed three rescue cats into my life, and let me tell you, they have completely stolen my heart! Every day is a new adventure learning their quirks and showering them with love. Dogs, cats, big personalities, shy babies, I adore them all. Your pet won't just be looked after, they'll be loved, doted on, and treated like my very own. 🐶🐱 I can't wait to meet them! Working from home means I have a wonderfully flexible schedule. I already walk my dog multiple times a day and spend a big chunk of my time enriching and engaging my pets. Adding your fur baby to my routine would be a joy, not a chore. There's almost always someone home, which means maximum love and minimal alone time for your pet! 🐾 Your home, your rules. I'll follow every routine, boundary, and expectation you set to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and completely at ease while you're away. My goal is for your pet to barely notice you're gone (okay, they'll miss you but they'll be well-loved in the meantime)!

“Debbie was wonderful with our dog. She took him for walks, brushed him and loved on him like he was her own. We will be using Debbie in the future and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 15. Over the years, we’ve provided both professional pet sitting and helped out friends and family—whether for short getaways or extended vacations. I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom and an animal lover! 🐾 My husband and I offer boarding for most dog sizes, and our home is always filled with love, play, and plenty of tail wags. We live on about 3 acres in beautiful El Dorado Hills, complete with a creek and a securely fenced portion of the yard where dogs can run freely, play fetch, splash in the water, or simply enjoy the fresh air. This setup gives your pup plenty of outdoor time in a safe and natural environment. We have two friendly, medium-sized dogs of our own—Mochi, a 4-year-old Golden Retriever, and Mila, a 2-year-old Goldendoodle. Both are fixed, gentle, and love having other dogs around. They enjoy playdates, cuddles, and are wonderful with our children (ages 17, 8, and 6). Our dogs are indoor dogs and have the run of our hardwood-floored downstairs. We use baby gates to separate carpeted areas, and there’s a designated, cozy sleeping space for your pup. Dogs are always supervised, both inside and out. We’re home full time, so your dog will get constant care, attention, and love. We’re also flexible—we understand that plans can change, and we’re happy to work with you to adjust as needed. We welcome dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. Whether your pup loves fetch, water play, or just lounging, we’re here to make sure they have a fun, safe, and loving stay. If your dog has any special needs or preferences, please let us know—we’re always happy to accommodate! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! 🐶 Sample Daily Dog Schedule Please note: Our schedule is flexible and may vary based on each pup’s individual needs, age, energy level, and weather. We provide a relaxed, at-home environment—very different from a traditional kennel. Morning • Wake-Up: Between 4:30–7:00 AM, depending on the dogs • First Potty & Play: Supervised outdoor time (weather permitting). Dogs are never left outside unattended. • Breakfast: Between 6:30–8:00 AM • Post-Breakfast Potty: About 30 minutes after eating Midday • Nap Time / Free Play: Dogs are encouraged to rest or enjoy calm indoor play. Puppies often nap more frequently. • Potty Breaks: Puppies are let out every 1–2 hours; adult dogs follow a more typical schedule Afternoon • Stimulation & Play Time: Between 3:00–5:00 PM we do light training, enrichment activities, or interactive play Evening • Dinner: Around 6:00–7:30 PM • Post-Dinner Potty: About 30 minutes after meals • Final Potty & Play: Between 8:30–9:30 PM • Tuck-In Time: After the final potty break, dogs settle in for the night ⸻ We focus on keeping dogs happy, active, and well cared for in a loving home environment. Our daily rhythm is built around play, rest, and affection—not rigid routines or cages. We have a fully fenced yard—about a quarter acre or more—where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Our own pups are friendly, social, and love to wrestle, chase, and relax with other dogs. Because we provide a relaxed, home-based environment, we do not accept aggressive or overly reactive dogs. We carefully assess each dog’s temperament to ensure they’re a good fit for our home, our dogs, and our young children (ages, 8, and 6). Our kids are very comfortable around dogs and have been taught how to behave respectfully and gently with animals of all sizes and temperaments. Our top priority is maintaining a safe, happy, and stress-free space for every pup who stays with us.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m really patient, whether it’s a puppy still learning or an older pet that needs things slower and a little extra care. I’m comfortable sticking to routines, giving meds if needed, and paying attention to small changes so nothing gets missed. I want you to feel at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting lots of love. my flexible school schedule allows me to easily prioritize pet care around classes, ensuring your cat receives dedicated attention and reliable visits exactly when needed. my routine focuses on maintaining their specific feeding and litter schedules while providing professional medical monitoring, play and quiet companionship without the stress of travel.

“This was my very first experience using a pet-sitting service. I chose Estefanny because of her very high ratings and she did not disappoint. My ancient kitty Larry doesn't do well staying by himself anymore. Estefanny not only assured that he had regular meals, water, and meds, but she also stayed with him at night so he wasn't lonely. Larry clearly loved her. She sent an update and photos every day, many of which showed him on her lap or in the spare bed, so he was obviously comfortable sleeping with her. To be honest, I expected her to be great with Larry. What I didn't expect was, after 5 nights sleeping at my house, I couldn't even tell she had been there. The place was exactly as I had left it - I swear she packed out her own garbage! Estefanny clearly cares for pets and is pleasant, reliable, and responsive. The highest recommendation I can give her is that I'm headed out of town again next month and I've already booked Estefanny to take care of Larry. The whole experience was just terrific!”
