Pet Sitting Carmichael

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, watching over neighbors’ and others’ animals, including dogs, snakes, a bearded dragon, and cats. I’ve also had cats of my own since I was 8—four in total—and currently care for two on my own. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my ability to connect with animals, especially those that take time to warm up to new people. I’m patient, observant, and always prioritize their comfort. Whether it’s recognizing subtle body language, engaging in enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship, I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. In addition to pet care, I work full-time as a nanny for young children (ages 4, 2, and 6 months). This experience has strengthened my attentiveness, patience, and ability to balance multiple responsibilities at once—skills that also translate into pet care. I’m experienced in maintaining structured routines, ensuring safety, and providing comfort, which makes me well-equipped to care for pets with different personalities and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering not just basic care but also companionship and reassurance. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make them feel at ease while you’re away! I will have to go home to feed and spend some time with my two kitties, Pumpkin & Hazelnut, but I also always find time to spend time with your pets as well. Some days I work in the afternoon/evening, and some I work during the day. My work schedule is listed below. Monday 4-8pm, Tuesday 8-3:30, Wednesday 1-8pm, Thursday 8-3:30, Friday 8-3:30 I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, ensuring your pet stays in a familiar and stress-free environment. Every pet is different, so I follow your specific routines, guidelines, and house rules to keep things as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, or medication needs, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and comfort while respecting your home. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take extra care to follow any instructions you provide, from home security measures to special pet needs. I also keep you updated with messages, photos, or check-ins so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care so your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space.

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:)

“Took my girl on a really long walk and has really awesome communication.”

“Johnna was wonderful. She went above and beyond in caring for my elderly cat, and helped me understand how Rover works. (This was my first Rover booking). She is reliable, detailed, and gives great updates on your pets. I am so relieved to know that there is somebody I can trust to come into my home, and care for my fur babies. I look forward to being able to call on her in the future.”

Suzanne P.

“Laura was great and my cat loved her. She was very calm and gave my shy cat the space to come out of her shell which she did quickly. Laura kept me updated with photos during her check in and made the experience of leaving my home with my cat very comforting. Definitely recommend her and will hire her services again next time I’m out of town. Thank you Laura!”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I have two pups of my own and have cared for dogs for friends, family, and Rover clients for years. I have experience with puppies, seniors, energetic dogs, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of dogs and meeting them where they’re at. I understand that not every dog is going to be an easygoing, perfectly trained pup and that’s okay! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, energetic dogs, strong pullers, reactive dogs, medication needs, crate training, and finicky eaters. I’m patient and willing to take the extra time needed to build trust, especially with shy or nervous dogs. I also work from home, so when my schedule allows, your pup gets plenty of companionship rather than being left alone for most of the day. I provide regular updates and photos because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and being well cared for. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. My goal isn’t just to “watch your dog”, it’s to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾❤️ 🐾 Currently accepting bookings! I currently have open availability to care for your pups’ needs! Walks, belly rubs, playtime, and photo updates are always included. I treat every pet in my care like family and want you to feel confident that they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My Schedule & Availability I’m a full-time student and full-time remote employee, which means I’m fortunate to spend a lot of time at home with the pets I care for. My weekly schedule: - Tuesday & Thursday: At UC Davis (10am-2pm) - Wednesday: Half-day work from home, home by 2pm - Monday & Friday: Full-time work-from-home - Weekends: Work-from-home My remote schedule allows me to provide plenty of companionship, attention, potty breaks, walks, and check-ins while still maintaining my work and school responsibilities. 🏡 Weekend House Sitting: Because I work remotely on weekends, I do require reliable Wi-Fi access in your home for weekend house-sitting bookings. This allows me to continue working while remaining at home with your pets and providing attentive care throughout the day. 📅 Please message me directly before booking so we can confirm that the requested dates and times work for both of us. I also have clients who book with me outside of Rover, so while I do my best to keep my Rover calendar updated, it may not always reflect my most current availability. I’m always happy to chat about your pets, their routines, and what they need to feel comfortable and loved while you’re away! 🐶🐱❤️ I tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I have two friendly dogs of my own who can provide companionship when appropriate, but I’m also happy to keep pets separate if that’s what makes them most comfortable. I’m comfortable caring for finicky eaters, dogs who need extra support on leash, and pets with medication requirements. I’m also happy to follow your preferred feeding, walking, and care routines as closely as possible. I have crates available if your pet is crate trained, prefers a crate for downtime, or is currently working on crate training. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable environment where your pets can stick to their normal routine and feel at home while you’re away.

“Luke has been great with my little baby girl! She got excited seeing Luke in the first visit so I knew she’d love him! Thank you so much for making my weekend away a fun and safe one for my puppy! I hope to book with you again soon!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I provide regular updates with photos, stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is receiving reliable, compassionate, and personalized care. I am a full time student all online! I have a reliable car! I am a night owl! Can be a morning riser when needed! I know when my old boy is not feeling well, hot or just need to eat. I have him for 11 years and since he was 8 weeks old! I went through the puppy stage and now while he my old man.

“Tracy is dependable, attentive, and provided amazing care for my golden boys! She is kind, compassionate, and reliable! I would highly recommend her to handle all your pet care needs!”

About: Hello! I specialize in caring for cats and big dogs, but I love all animals. I especially love cuddly and low energy pets. I’ve taken care of neighbors’ pets for a few years and now would like to expand my pet sitting services. I currently have two cats and have grown up with dogs as well. I’m a full time college student, currently attending night classes Monday-Wednesday. I’m available for walks and drop-ins in the morning and early afternoon on these days. Scheduling overnights on these days depend on how frequently your pets need check ins. Thursday-Sunday I’m available all day to give your pets the attention they need! Your pet’s happiness and safety is my top priority. I take the time to get to know your pets and understand what they need from my visit, whether it’s high energy playtime or cuddles and belly rubs.

About: Our three rescues recently traveled to the rainbow bridge after 13 years in our home. We are not ready to fill our home permanently, but are emotionally available to love on your babies while you’re gone. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I have many years of pet sitting and house sitting including dogs, cats, fish, and bunnies. I know firsthand how expensive pet boarding is, not to mention stressful, so I am here to make traveling and being away easier. I work very part time and stay home with my kids, so I am available regularly and have an extremely flexible schedule for accommodating needs. We have a one story home with a large fenced in yard for safe exploring and sun bathing. Our home is currently pet free, so your pets would have full control of the place!

“Sarah was responsive and very good with Lucy!”

About: I’ve had many, many pets over the years. Dogs, cats, birds. After our daughters were grown and our last cat passed on we decided to be pet free for a while. While there are advantages to not having animals (being able to leave home without the worry), I miss them and thought this might be a way to fill the pet void. I am retired and so I am free to feed, walk and play with your cats and/or dogs. I look forward to meeting them. I am not taking care of pets in my home at this time but happy to come to your home and spend time, feed and walk your pets.

About: I've always loved dogs growing up and learned to train them since I also have smart and energetic dogs who need playtime, socialization, love, and discipline. I just quit my corporate job so I have a lot of time and flexibility to play with your dog, take them to the park, go for a walk, or simply keep them company. I can drive to your house for visits, walks, or take them to the park. I can also take them to my place for boarding or playtime. I have a huge fenced backyard and a fenced pool as well if you'd like your dog to swim, we can arrange for this as well. I have 2 friendly dogs who will also keep your dog company.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my cat for me. The level of care that went into watching her was amazing and the care she had for my apartment was so unbelievably kind. The lock to my front door broke and after informing me of the situation contacted maintenance and had them fix it in my absence while ensuring she was there to look after Eden when it was being changed. On top of this the awesome photos and videos made it a wonderful and stress free experience and I can’t recommend them enough.”

“Rebecca was awesome! She took care of my pup was great looking after my house! Would def recommend!”

About: Leaving your pup is tough—I get it! That’s why I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers lazy snuggles, I tailor care to their personality. I work from home with my chocolate lab, Roxy, as my “Supervisor.” She’s playful but respectful, and my boys love helping with our furry guests. Your pup will never feel alone here! We offer: Boarding, daycare, drop-ins & walks A large fenced yard Frozen lick mats for a fun treat (with your okay!) A few things to know: Pups must be dog & kid friendly (we’ve got 4 kiddos - 13, 11 and 8 + Roxy) Sorry, no cats (allergies) We love both high-energy pups who need walks & older dogs who need extra TLC I’m flexible, reliable, and genuinely love making tails wag. Let me know your pup’s routine, quirks, and favorite things so I can keep them happy and comfortable.

About: I grew up with a full range of dog breeds and even horses! Those big pups don't worry me at all! I am runner who enjoys 4-legged company, and I currently use that skill while volunteering at Bradshaw Animal Shelter with their Pit Bull Socialization and Obedience Crew (PB SOC). In addition, I take daily walks along the river just behind my house. I find every dog has a unique personality that deserves patience and understanding, mutual respect is of the utmost importance to me. BONUS: I own an event and portrait photography company, so the check-in photos and selfies are going to be top-notch.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life & cannot imagine life without one. My current fur baby is a 4 year old black lab & I’ve learned a lot about dog training over the last 4 years. Dogs need physical and mental stimulation every day & they rely on their humans for everything. Please allow me to love, entertain, & care for your fur babies whenever you are not available. I’m happy to be their second best friend. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 humans & 1 Labrador Retriever. I am available weekdays before 3pm with some flexibility 3-5pm. Available for meet & greet Saturday or Sunday. I will take notes on any special instructions or requests you have. Every pet has a different play style & individual needs so I aim to treat each one in a way that makes them (& you) happy.
