Pet Sitting Carmichael

About: Bare minimum care for animals is not accepted in my house. I only offer the absolute best I can give for every furry friend. I've owned and cared for almost every category of critter you can come up with (Birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, cats, dogs, etc.!) Almost all my passions revolve around animals and always have, I spend most of my time helping people with their own pets when I'm not caring for mine. I also am starting out in dog training and have two years experience with a few types of canine training. My own dog is an exceptionally trained GSD that's helped this journey. Along with that, I have been helping with rehabilitating and releasing wild animals in need for almost three years. I am very passionate about rescues and almost all my animals are rescued by either shelters, brought to me, or found by me. I hope to build a career in helping people and their animals in every way I possibly can ❤ I'm currently gaining experience for dog training and I help with wild animal rehabilitation along with shelter work. I'm free most days of the week since I'm able to choose my working hours. For drop in visits I follow pet owner instructions exactly to ensure every pet has their needs met. I offer the most exceptional care that I possibly can for each animal and am capable of caring for just about any pet. Senior, challenged, puppy, untrained, none are challenging for me. 💕

About: I’ve had dogs since the day I was born. There hasn’t been a time in my life without a pet companion that I get to show love and care for. I am a student athlete at SFSU. Usually a fairly busy schedule with class and sports but I’m always home whenever I get a break. Spacious living room with sliding door so dogs can poke there head out and get fresh air. Average fenced backyard for when a pet wants to go potty.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for and training my own dogs, including my beloved Husky. I have experience teaching basic commands, off-leash skills, and potty training. Through training my dogs, I have learned the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I understand that every dog has a different personality and learning style, and I enjoy helping them feel comfortable, confident, and safe. I’m a caring, patient, and dependable person who genuinely loves animals. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I would treat your pet with the same kindness, attention, and respect I would want for my own. I’m comfortable providing loving care, keeping pets safe, following their routines, giving them attention and companionship, and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I’m also responsible and attentive to details, so I will carefully follow any instructions you provide about feeding, walks, medications, or other special needs. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while they are away and make sure their pets feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m available Monday-Thursday, and Friday-Sunday after 3pm. I'm a pre-nursing student and I work during the weekends but if boarding during weekends are needed, please feel free to message me. Wai (co-sitter) will also be available to assit with sitting during weekends. I can fit pet care into my schedule and will make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and companionship they need. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. In my home, I will provide a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. I will make sure doors and gates are secure and keep a close eye on pets to help prevent accidents or unsafe situations. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow their instructions and their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I will treat their home and belongings with respect and keep them updated on how their pet is doing.

“1000/10 Laura took such great care of my two cats for 5 days 💖 She sent lots of adorable pictures and communicated extremely well about updates/shenanigans the kitties got up to everyday. I felt so comfortable on vacation knowing they were in great hands! Especially since my two cats don’t get along yet and needed to be kept and cared for separately. Thank you so much, Laura!”

“Johnna is wonderful. We would not be able to do the travel/caretaking that we have to do right now without her help. She is utterly reliable. My pets love her.”

About: Hi, I'm Anna! I am a passionate, highly trained animal lover dedicated to giving your pet the safest and most fun experience possible. Since March, I have been an active volunteer with the Sacramento SPCA, where I have completed intensive online courses and hands-on, in-person training in canine behavior, body language, and socialization. I am fully certified to handle and walk the shelter's Green and Orange color-coded dogs. Because of my training and reliability, the SPCA also trusts me with their Foster Furlough program for their highest-need Pink color-coded dogs. This means I regularly take these advanced-level dogs out of the shelter environment for day trips and overnight stays in my home to give them a break. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk, structured socialization, or just an attentive and loving overnight companion, I know exactly how to read their body language and keep them safe in real-world situations. I have a very flexible part-time schedule, my own reliable vehicle for check-ins, and a deep commitment to following your exact house rules and routines. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! I don’t work so I’m home pretty much all time unless I’m running errands. I’m available Tuesday-sat to come and help out with your babies!! I have a fenced yard but always prefer to watch them while there going potty or playing! I’d also be able to crate them if needed:)

“Sarah was responsive and very good with Lucy!”

About: Growing up with dogs, I have provided lifelong care for them from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me deep experience in their unique needs. I am fully capable of administering medications, and I am highly diligent about following specific feeding and exercise schedules. My background ensures I provide consistent, reliable, and compassionate care for your pet, treating them with the same love and attention I have dedicated to my own dogs throughout my years of experience. I'm currently working a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of availability to give your pets my undivided attention! I am available on weekends and weekdays. For services like dog walking or drop-in visits at the client's home, I provide attentive and reliable care. I focus on maintaining the pet's routine, ensuring they get exercise, and providing companionship. I'm skilled at adapting to different pet personalities and environments, always prioritizing their safety and happiness during our time together.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 12 years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Growing up, my family had Pekingese and Pitbulls, and I loved walking and caring for them. I recently cared for a Yorkie puppy who was learning to potty train and needed consistent practice with basic commands and tricks. I currently have two cats of my own, and friends, relatives, and neighbors have often trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped my aunt care for a pregnant cat and her foster kittens, including feeding, cleaning, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ve also read extensively about why cats may be nervous or afraid of strangers and how to approach different cat personalities in a calm and respectful way. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. ❤️ I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays after work, as well as weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and treat every home with care and respect. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet has everything they need. I’m also happy to take extra time to help shy or nervous pets feel comfortable with me. I’m happy to also take extra time to play with your pet if they feel comfortable to.

About: I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for around 20 years, starting when I was about 8 or 9 years old watching neighbors’ homes and animals while they were out of town. Since then, I’ve continued caring for pets for family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and acquaintances. What sets me apart is my experience with pets who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for special-needs and senior animals, including dogs with deafness, blindness, and medical routines. I’m comfortable administering medication, eye drops, and IV fluids when given clear instructions. I also have experience with dogs of different sizes, from small and medium dogs to larger breeds like German Shepherds and Labs. I’m gentle, reliable, detail-oriented, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, medically fragile, or just happiest with consistency, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a Program Aide at a day program for adults with developmental disabilities from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which leaves me available for early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and many overnight house-sitting needs. Because I have a cat at home, pet care is already part of my everyday life. Feeding schedules, litter box care, fresh water, medication routines, playtime, and quiet companionship are all things I’m used to building my day around. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially cats, senior pets, anxious pets, and pets with special needs. My schedule works especially well for clients who need dependable check-ins before or after work, afternoon care, evening visits, or overnight house sitting. I’m reliable, routine-oriented, and careful about keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. Safety, trust, and routine are my biggest priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely so their pet’s normal routine stays as familiar and stress-free as possible. I pay attention to feeding schedules, medication instructions, litter boxes, walks, water, playtime, quiet time, and any special rules for the home. I treat every home with respect and care. I’m mindful about locking doors, securing gates, keeping food and medications out of reach, cleaning up after pets, and leaving the space the way I found it. I also keep an eye out for changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, mobility, or mood, especially with senior pets or pets with medical needs. Because I have experience with special-needs animals, I understand how important patience and consistency can be. I’m comfortable caring for pets who are shy, anxious, elderly, blind, medically fragile, or simply need extra reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind through clear communication and updates.

“Cheryl was able to accommodate our last minute booking and took great care of our dogs! Will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I have had several pets at any given time for the last ten years. I know how to care for mostly any critter you have, and have had lots of experience! Currently we have 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and a parakeet at my house. However, I’ve also owned a cat, fish, multiple hamsters, and even a bunny at one point. It’s safe to say I’ve learned a thing or two about being a pet owner in my time, but I’m also totally open to learning how to care for pets I don’t know too much about! I’m very much aware how much work it is to care for small animals like rodents, as I’ve had at least one since my 7th birthday :) Little guys such as guinea pigs, bunnies, rats, and hamsters have such special places in my heart, they’re just so cute! I also love dogs a lot. Honestly, all animals are pretty cool. I’m currently in college while also working part time. However, in my free time I’m available for whatever you need me for! Anytime after 3 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends I’m at your dog walking needs. Anytime on weekends work for both dog walking and pet sitting. I love pets a lot and adore how bright their individual personalities shine! I like playing games with them such as fetch, or taking them on walks or to the park to run around. At my house I like laying around with my dogs all around me watching TV, so if that’s something your pet enjoys too, we’ll get along just fine ;)

“Carmen was great. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs a cat sitter or drop-ins. She followed our instructions to the T. Thanks Carmen.”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of canines for over 20 years. I can provide a safe/secure environment and positive experience for your pet. Can train. I’m available most weekends, early morning weekdays for jogs, check ins or play time, evening walks during the week. Can’t do Mondays but am flexible!

About: August Special: 20% off regular fees! Take a vacation!! Now's the time! My house – Where your dog gets the VIP treatment and motivational speeches they didn’t know they needed. Let’s be honest—dogs are the best kind of people, and I’m just here running their all-inclusive resort. Whether your pup is a professional couch potato or a backyard explorer plotting their next squirrel summit, I love meeting dogs with big personalities and even bigger snack expectations. Around here, no two days—or dogs—are ever the same. And yes, that’s exactly as chaotic as it sounds! My own personal house manager, Kodi—a 25-pound Pomeranian/Husky combo (yes, you read that right, a Pomsky with the fluff of a cloud and the soul of a philosopher)—would love to have a playmate. He’s mostly here to inspect guest luggage for contraband treats and approve new friendships. I have a soft spot for senior pups—because let’s face it, they’ve seen some things and have no time for nonsense. My Pomeranians Tilly and Goldie, and Gracie, a cattle dog, and Jenny lived long, fabulous lives (more than 15 years!) and were full-time celebrity mascots at the magazine I worked at. Basically, they were the Oprah and Barbara Walters of the dog world—total pros at working a room and scoring snacks. As a retired chiropractor with fancy degrees in nutrition and herbal medicine, I’m basically the dog version of a wellness spa director. Think massages, joint support with diatomaceous earth and fish oil, and the occasional pep talk about why it’s okay to bark at the mailman just a little less. My backyard boasts a majestic 100-year-old tree, perfect for shade lounging and dramatic squirrel-watching. But full disclosure—after a rain, the backyard goes from “lush forest floor” to “mud wrestling championship.” Don’t worry, post-adventure towel-dry snuggles are included at no extra charge! Need a chauffeur? I’m happy to take your pup for car rides, neighborhood strolls, and even field trips to the mountains or American River Park for that “I just found my inner wolf” moment. Evenings include my signature VIP tuck-in service with a soft “goodnight,” a cozy blanket, and if required, me whispering motivational affirmations like “You ARE a good boy, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” Got a bedtime routine? Hit me with it—I’m fully trained in ritualistic stuffed animal placement and optimal blanket fluffing. While my resort has an open-door vibe, I do draw the line at dogs with severe separation anxiety or known aggression issues. But hey, if you’re working through those, I’m happy to consult—every great comeback story starts somewhere! Now Booking: Home-Cooked Doggy Gourmet! Look, some dogs have better diets than I do—and honestly, I respect that. I’m currently working toward my Pet Nutritionist certificate, and I offer home-cooked meals (available for an additional charge) for dogs who prefer their cuisine like their lifestyle: elevated and extra. These meals are especially great for older dogs and those with arthritis—prepared with love, top-notch ingredients, and absolutely no judgment if they demand dinner plated like a five-star entrée. One senior guest came in barely able to walk and left on day five ready for a dance-off. Coincidence? Or was it my gourmet cooking and endless positive reinforcement? You decide. What My VIP Guests Are Saying… 🐾 “I arrived wobbly, but after five days of gourmet meals and pep talks, I’m basically training for the Olympics now.” – Buster, Age 12, Retired Couch Commander (Buster was having difficulty walking and keeping himself stable but regained his youthful suave.) 🐾 “She tucked me in, called me a good boy, and told me I mattered. I'd rate my experience a 12/10 and would recommend. Left feeling emotionally validated and one pound fluffier.” – Sir Fluffy, Age 7, Aspiring Influencer Pet care is what I do now and I do it well. I am also a freelance writer and love having dogs around to do things with. I treat them like family, and like I've known them my whole life. I care for pets in my home and outside my home as if they are my family. Sometimes they have emotional issues so I counsel them. They seem to understand. I teach them new things and have a tunnel they can run through in my backyard.

“We’ve used Audrey twice now for Polly and will definitely use her again for drop-in visits. She was reliable and communicative and took an adorable picture of Polly!”

“Betty took such good care of my kitties! She was so patient with my shy boys and my house looked great when I got home. I would recommend Betty to anyone - she is great!!”

About: This is my first time working to take care of animals. I have had fur babies my whole adult life. Mostly dogs but I have also had cats. I have a cat and a dog right now I’m retired so no work to worry about. I’m available almost anytime and it would be easy to work around your schedule. Thank you for the privilege I would love to watch animals in my home but I have a small place and a pit bull and a son living with me right now. I would care for your fur baby like I care for my own

“Jasmeen did a great job caring for my cat over a long weekend. I received regular updates and photos which was reassuring while I was away. Highly recommended. I would be delighted to work with her again anytime i travel.”
