House Sitting in Colfax

“It’s easy to tell that the dogs had another amazing time since have looked for Ginger every day so far (day 3 since we’ve been home). Such peace of mind that we have happy dogs and tidy home after time away.”

Cindy H.

“He was amazing! Last minute call for a sitter after my previous sitter had reviews of no showing and did not confirm with me 48 hours prior to needing a sitter for our wedding day! He was easy going, likeable, 100% on task! Wish we lived closer to book him again!”

About: Not only do I have 10 years of experience of pet sitting, I have experience working with shelter dogs. I’ve been with Placer SPCA as a volunteer for many years. I work with fearful, excitable, shy and even reactive dogs on a weekly basis. I make sure to give them the best care I can provide. I have plenty of free time and my shelter schedule is very flexible! I spend most of my time caring for pets or working with animals. I am someone that you can contact last minute for pet sitting! I will make sure that your pet gets all the love, care and attention your best friend could possibly need. I provide mostly overnight care, in which I make sure your pup is cared for in the same way you do every day. Building trust is very important to me, I’ll make sure to send pictures of your dog (or other animals) along with a report of how they are doing and any other info you may need.

About: My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is not just cared for, but cared for with genuine love. I’ve been caring for pets for years and truly treat every dog or cat like part of the family. From playful puppies with endless energy to sweet senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my attentive, personalized approach — I don’t just “watch” pets, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important routines are, whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or keeping up with daily walks and playtime. I work from home, which means your pet will never feel “left alone” during the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give plenty of attention, walks, and play breaks throughout the day — not just morning and evening check-ins. I also share my life with Barkley, my friendly dog who loves having new buddies around. He’s a great companion for pets who enjoy company, playtime, or just having another dog to nap near. Together, we make sure your pet feels safe, entertained, and part of the family. Whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, long walks, or snuggle breaks between meetings, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily rhythm — not something I squeeze in. Your pup will have the best of both worlds here — space to run, play, and explore, plus all the comforts of a loving home. We live on an acre of land with large fenced dog runs, so pets can enjoy plenty of safe outdoor time. Whether your dog loves to zoom around, sniff every corner, or just lounge in the sun, there’s room for it all. Inside, pets are treated like family. I make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and included in the daily routine. Walks, play sessions, and cuddle time are built into the day, and I keep a close eye to make sure everyone is safe and happy. With my own dog, Barkley, as a friendly companion, visiting pups usually settle in quickly and feel right at home.

“Was available at the last minute when our regular dogsitter had a medical emergency. Very caring for our dog and took her on long walks. She was happy when we returned.”

“Sienna did a fantastic job caring for our husky dog. She also did a terrific job watering all our yard plants and she washed the bedding & towels before she left! Highly recommend!”

Jaimie P.

“Cydney was amazing! Right away on coming in the dog settled right in to being comfortable with her and calming down from there somebody’s at the door alert. She was both attentive to the request and instruction we left and also shared her knowledge about Dogs as well, understanding even different tendencies of different breeds… Which is really helpful since we had one 80 pound rescue who’s ancestors are guard dogs and 8 pound little dog as well. She really gave all of her attention during the weekend to the dogs and their needs. I’m looking forward to having her come again.”

Crystal L.

“Sabrina is a joy to work with to watch our lil dude Nico. Her communication is fantastic and she always went the extra mile to ensure he was well-cared for. We had complete ease of mind being away and knowing that he received lots of love, cuddles and care.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and patient pet lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for cats ., and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, basic grooming, and giving lots of attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them happiest. “I’m currently in an Ayurvedic internship with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I truly enjoy being around animals and will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.” “I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific care needs. In a client’s home, I respect the space, keep things clean, and maintain your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I’m attentive during walks and make sure pets are secure, supervised, and safe at all times. I take time to build trust with each animal, paying attention to their behavior and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic or more shy, I adjust my care to meet their needs and make sure they feel calm, safe, and well cared for.”

About: I got my first dog when I was six, and growing up he was my best friend. I also had lizards, birds, fish, frogs, hamsters, and cats! Ever since then, I have always been passionate about helping dogs and other animals. I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all sizes and ages, and now I want to make this passion my work. My favorite part about taking care of dogs is walking them. I have a Border Collie and know how to handle hyper and active dogs. I have experience taking care of disabled pets as well- I had a small dog that used a wheel chair for years and lived a happy life. All of my friends and family call me first when in need of a pet sitter because they know I'm capable and that I truly care. Whether you need walking, bathing, feeding, or someone to assist with your special needs pet, I have done it all and would love to help! I am available to walk your dog and take care of your pets any day of the week. So send me a message and I will respond quickly! First, I ask pet owners if there are any requirements or concerns to be aware of when I am entering their home to care for their pet. In addition, I always like to know what treats or activities their pets enjoy. For example, during an appointment, I will often greet pets with their favorite treat, check if they need water, take care of any potty or medical needs, and stimulate them with their favorite activity! Before leaving, I make sure I have performed all required tasks requested by the client.

“Excellent communication and photo/video updates, very friendy and easy to work with. I liked that 'Hina was the only dog they boarded; other places I saw had multiple dogs, rotating often, which concerned me. Thanks Amy, we'll be back!”

James B.

“Simone had great communication and was amazingly flexible with our timing needs - during a holiday weekend on top of that! Having peace of mind while away was much appreciated. She was respectful and easy going. Would definitely have her back to watch my mischievous pittie anytime!”

Kenneth G.

“Jordan was great!! He was patient with our neurotic dog and made sure she had a safe space when she was ready to interact. He followed all the petcare procedures for the dog, cat, and chickens. He watered the plants and left the house clean! We loved the pictures he sent us of the critters and the ongoing communication while we were gone. Definitely recommend him and would use him again!”

Cara P.

“Maryjane did a wonderful job taking care of our two pups while on vacation. She sent daily updates with pictures & followed my crazy dog mom requests. We came home to a clean house & two happy dogs. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future!”

Nicole D.

“Jillian was great! On short notice she was willing to come meet us and get to know our dog before we booked her for dog sitting at our house. She took our active dog on long daily walks to the park near our house. She shared updates and photos of the fun they had each day. We felt comfortable that our dog was in great hands. When she left the house she left in better than she found it! We would welcome Jillian back again!”

Jordan C.

“Lorena was great! She checked in regularly to let us know how things were going. We could tell how happy our beloved boxer, which was a great comfort.”

Nichole M.

“Mikayla has been outstanding with our two GSD’s! She is very in tune to their separate personalities and is very patient with our baby King, who is shy with new people in his space. I appreciate her patience and advanced knowledge of this breed. We feel at ease and comfortable leaving the boys in her care at our home when we are away.”
