House Sitting in Diablo Grande

“Did a great job and stayed a little late for us! Nova loved him.”

Ember N.

“Jeremy and Rosie are fantastic! We have a high maintenance fur baby that has some serious separation anxiety issues, and they did an awesome job. We got updates throughout the days with pics. We were gone for a long weekend and came back to our house looking great too. We will definitely rebook with them again! Thanks!! Stephen”

Stephen O.

“She’s amazing!!! She was on time and actively reached out with updates and pics!!!”

Neha S.

“Alex has such a calm demeanor when handling both my German shepherds. They love her and she always makes me feel comfortable while she’s with them. Not unlike children, I wish they behaved this well for me! 😂.”

Sonja B.

“Excellent communication. Followed directions perfectly. Dogs loved her.”

Mellissa G.

“Such a friendly person and super patient with our 3 month old puppy! She kept me updated the whole time and was great at keeping up with his hectic potty training schedule.”

Bianca D.

“Briana watched our dogs for two nights and did a great job. She followed their routine and communicated very well. Anytime she left the house she would let us know. Our dogs loved her and they got along well. She was very friendly and we would definitely rebook.”

Sameet J.

“Could not recommend Coralie enough! She did a great job watching my dog when I was home for the holidays, despite the fact that my dog really really doesn’t like strangers. She definitely knows how to work with dogs - highly recommend especially if you have a dog that you’re nervous about leaving with someone new.”

Lizzy B.

“Maria was great with both of our pets! She went above and beyond, providing pictures and videos and communicating with us. Our booking was last minute, but Maria still made it possible. Our pups were both happy and relaxed when we arrived home! 😊 thank you so much, we look forward to booking with you again!”

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a kid which included multiple dogs, a hamster and now currently a cat. Whatever task you need me to do I will be sure to complete it with precision and care. I feed my cat and clean her litter box everyday for the past two years. It is now a big part of how I get my day started and how it ends. I walk my mothers dogs, wash them and feed them on top of doing all of the same things for my cat throughout the day.

About: Many clients have said they send their furry babies to us for a well-deserved vacation while they enjoy one themselves! My husband, Sebastien, and I moved to Fair Oaks, CA in the summer of 2022. While we missed all our human and furry friends in the Bay Area, we are very excited to meet new ones. We LOVE all pets; however, at the moment, we don’t have any of our own. We only board one pet at a time, ensuring they receive 100% of our love and attention. We may consider boarding two dogs at the same time if they are from the same family, love each other, and each weighs under 60 lbs. Having worked with many different breeds, we are comfortable with boarding, walking, feeding, administering medicine, playing with, caring for, and cleaning up after them. We are both active community members and have volunteered at various places, including Lytton Gardens (senior living), the Nine Lives Foundation (cat shelter), Chung Tai Zen Center, Garden to Table, teaching in Romania, Silicon Valley Volunteers, food banks, the Fair Oaks Chicken Festival, and the Sacramento County Holiday Toy Drive, among others. We both work from home now, so we are more available than ever to provide the best care for your dogs. Please note the important information below: 1, We only board one pet at a time, ensuring they receive 100% of our love and care—guaranteed! 2, We follow owners’ guidelines 100% to ensure pets don’t go home with new habits or need to be retrained. 3, We never give them human food or dog treats unless specified by the owners or provided by them. If they are allowed to have a piece of apple or carrot, please feel free to let us know, and we will be happy to share while the dogs watch us cook. 4, We ensure that all dogs receive the same amount of exercise, or more, while with us. For active and energetic dogs, we provide at least two walks per day and visit parks and river beaches on weekends. For smaller, more home-loving dogs, we enjoy cuddling and playing with them whenever they want. 5, We live in a four-bedroom single-family house with a fully fenced backyard (with a tall fence). Dogs are always welcome to use the yard for their business and playtime, and they are never left unattended in the yard. There are no kids, no roommates, and no other pets in the house. 6, We don’t allow dogs in our care to interact with other dogs. We always cross the street when encountering another dog on walks, as we can’t predict their chemistry or how the other dogs will behave. 7, We avoid dog parks due to potential unknown risks. 8, If your dog has separation anxiety, we are happy to accommodate by never leaving them home alone. However, it would be very helpful to discuss this during our meeting or via message so we can avoid making social engagements or reschedule in advance. We typically only leave them for two hours, or a maximum of four hours. Please bring food, snacks, treats, and any medications. It would be very helpful if feeding instructions and medication dosages are included in their profile or written on a piece of paper. We have a dog bed in each room (with a cover washed after each stay), so if you forget or your pup isn’t picky, we’re covered on that. We also have water and food bowls in various sizes, which are washed after each meal, and water bowls are cleaned daily😄 We look forward to meeting you all! More notes: If you have specific requests regarding the number of updates, pictures, and videos you would like to receive each day, please let us know in advance, and we’ll gladly accommodate. Otherwise, you can expect at least two updates every 24 hours. We believe keeping you informed is essential for peace of mind! We both have full-time jobs in tech (engineering and finance) and work from home. Caring for furry babies is our passion We welcome feedback and would appreciate a review afterward. However, there’s no issue if you don’t get around to it—we won’t ask for one.😸🐶🐻‍❄️🐷 We both work from home so we can accommodate to each dog’s schedule. Normally one of us walk them 20-40 minutes in the morning (unless told not to due to age/injury), and provide potty breaks at least 3 - 4 times during the day. Some sort of mental stimulation in the afternoon, and one more longer walk or fetching/playing in the afternoon/evening. Timing will be dependable on temperature. Last potty break is between 10 to 11pm before bed. Playtime is available throughout the day. Dogs are always secured with a dog seatbelt in the backseat of our Outback when we take them out. We have a tall fenced yard, and we do not allow dogs to be in the yard unattended. We eat twice a day without snacking in between, so there’s no human food or snacks left around the house. We do the dishes immediately after we eat.

“Gave daily videos/pics of both cat and dog :) sweet girl”

“This is the second time Yolanda watches my dogs, she is great and very friendly.”

“Rana was great in sending updates and taking care of my dog Artie. She helped me out in a pinch and I would be happy to use her again.”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for and walking dogs, I’m a trusted sitter for friends, neighbors, and colleagues. As a student home for the summer, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care for your dog. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine pretty naturally. I currently have a part-time job, but I’m available for pet care responsibilities before 10 a.m. and after 1 p.m. most days. I’m good at managing my time, so I can consistently provide attention, walks, feeding, or whatever else is needed during those hours. I enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I take seriously and genuinely enjoy fitting into my schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow the specific instructions the pet owner provides, such as feeding schedules, medication, exercise needs, and any special preferences or restrictions. For dogs, this usually means regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and engaged. For cats or smaller pets, I focus on creating a calm environment, ensuring clean litter boxes or cages, and offering affection on their terms. If I’m caring for pets at the client’s home, I treat their space with respect, keeping everything clean and secure, and I provide daily updates to the owner so they know their pet is doing well. Overall, my goal is to maintain a routine that makes pets feel safe and loved, whether they’re in my home or theirs.

“Logan was an excellent dog and house sitter as always. He even watered some of the plants that we had forgot to take care of before leaving on our trip! Thanks again Logan.”

Clay R.

“We were very pleased with Sarah and her son Christian. Our pets seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. Our pets seemed comfortable at the meet and greet and were comfortable when we left. We really appreciated that Sarah made time for the meet and greet and that she sent us pictures while we were gone.”

About: We do our very best for your pups! We provide pick up and drop off to help with the convenience for you and your pup. I usually prefer to come and do a meet and greet beforehand, so you and the pup can get to know me. I love to see your pup in their natural habitat, so I know what to expect. A little bit about our place, we are completely off grid with solar and a wind turbine for power! We give our pups well water. The water is very high in natural minerals and has Magnesium, which helps keep us and our pups very mellow/calm during their stay. We are up 4000ft in elevation and up here we get SNOW in the winter, which makes for great pics. We have been working with dogs for 10+ years. We accommodate all different types of pups from Tea-cups to Malamutes. (2-100+lbs) we’ve done it all. We try very hard to accommodate you and are willing to go the extra mile to make everything go smoothly. We do ask you give us their food for them. It’s very important to us that your dog remains safe and secure at all times. The more information you can tell us about your pup the better! We do have AirTags/Drones and other toys if they have issues with trying to escape. Your pup will get an experience up here that they can’t get anywhere else. We treat them like family, because to us they are! They will see all different types of animals from birds to tons of squirrels, rabbits and’s quails. They might even get to see cattle/horses at the bottom of the hill. They will never be able to interact with any of them. We send pictures/videos normally everyday. We do send updates everyday!!! Please, feel free to txt or call me anytime if you have any questions. We hope to see you and your pup very soon!!!😊🍀🙏🐾 We are up and about at 6-7am. Everyone heads out for the bathroom and stretch. I get my coffee and start preparing food. Everyone gets fed separately or in their kennels. Then, around 8am we go on our first hike. Usually between 30/60 min. Then after their first hike they get to either come inside the main house or hang out in the play area. Around noon we play some games, work on training techniques, or play mind games where they work on their smell or obedience. Depending on the weather we go for another pack walk. Time again varies between 4-7pm. Then DINNER TIME!!! That usually also consists of me firing up the BBQ and give them a little bit of what we’re eating. After dinner we give them a few hours to digestion and poop and pee and then everyone gets their nice warm blanket for bed around 9pm. We do vary in our days if it’s hot I pull out the pool and fill it up. If it’s cold and snowing we pull out the heaters and snuggle on our bed and watch a movie. To be honest I have the best job ever! All of the dogs I’ve ever met have a personality of their own. They usually take after their owner lol. I’m constantly surrounded by my dogs, stimulating them with something, music or movies, podcasts. When your dog comes up here we treat them just like they were our own.

“Amazing! Wonderful in every way. Highly recommend”

About: Hey there, what more can I say other than who wouldn't want to work with animals, especially with ones that just want to be loved as much as you do. I do not have professional training for pets; however, I grew up and currently come from a family of pet lovers with parents who have 4 dogs and 4 cats. My photo is of myself and my 16 yr old Pug Chihuahua mix Princess that I had since she was 8 weeks old. She was not just our dog, she was our family, our baby. Please feel free to email or text me with any questions you may have, I am available at your service so please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you I am not currently working so pet care fits Perfectly into my routine. I have recently moved to Patterson CA to help them out around the house and care for their animals. I am not able to care for your furbabies in my own home, but I will follow any an all instructions you have for yours.
