“Mack had a great time with Grisel! She sent many photos throughout the day, and Mack was playing with other dogs and looked very happy. Grisel is very responsive and great with Mack!”

About: I started volunteering at the Antioch Animal Shelter in the 4th grade. Since then I have volunteered at numerous shelters and rescues, including the emergency animal shelter in Oroville after the Camp Fire. I'm Disaster Animal Rescue Team (D.A.R.T.) trained, animal CPR and first aid certified, and have years of TNR experience. I have had many exotics as pets, including a reef tank at one time. I have no issue feeding crickets and worms, but I can't feed snakes rodents. I'm a lifelong vegetarian, so that would traumatize me. Lol. I also love rodents, and currently have 2 rescue guinea pigs. Animal care and nutrition are a passion of mine. I'm also an expert teeth brusher! I brush my cats and dogs teeth every night and some of my pet sits as well. I'm very experienced giving medication, even pills to cats and my recently adopted cat Ricky is diabetic. Two of my regular cats I sit take meds, and one gets insulin injections, so I'm very comfortable with both and also know how to check blood glucose. Animals are allowed on the furniture in my home, even the bed. A couple of dogs I regularly sit sleep in the bed with me and my dogs. I treat other people's furbabies the way I would want my furbabies treated. I'm a helicopter pet parent so I totally understand how hard it is to trust someone with the ones you love. If I ever thought something was wrong with your pet I would notify you asap, and I have no issue taking an animal to the vet. I have a rescue dog who has occasional seizures and a rescue kitty with kidney disease that I give sub-q fluids to every day, so I am very comfortable with special needs animals. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to pet care. I actually have a pet thermometer and carry a microchip reader in my truck with an extra leash. You'd be surprised how many times I've used that chip reader! Being a helicopter pet parent I NEVER EVER leave an animal outside alone, not even in my fenced in yard. I don't take chances. I'm also obsessively clean, so your litter box will not be a hot mess when you return, and if your dog uses a potty pad no problem. I also have waterproof vinyl plank flooring so accidents and kitty puke is easy to clean up. :-D. When I board animals it is very much mi casa esu casa! I'm also more than happy to water plants when I do drop-ins as well, since I have them myself and am also a gardener. :-) I work from home 3 days a week and the other 2 days I come home for lunch since the office is only 2.5 miles from my house. I'm home most weekends as well. I follow the care instructions to the letter. If your pup requires a crate it must be brought with them, since mine are not crated. I am comfortable giving medication and supplements, measuring food, following a raw food diet, feeding exotics, etc. I'm also comfortable grooming for an extra fee, but will never ignore a mat in their fur or charge extra for daily grooming like toothbrushing.

“Tanisha was fantastic with my dog Morty. My dog is reactive and nervous around new dogs, and she was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he would feel comfortable with her and her dog. We did a meet and greet, followed by a test overnight board and test daycare. It was incredible to see how well my dog settled in with her. You can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. I got a lot of pictures and videos of my dog while he was with Tanisha (more than I've ever gotten from a sitter). I highly recommend Tanisha!”

About: • Experience with puppies and high-energy breeds • Potty training consistency and routine building • Comfortable with small to medium dogs • Can follow feeding schedules and medication instructions • Skilled with leash walking and structured outdoor time • Familiar with dog park etiquette and socialization Pet care is part of my daily routine, not an afterthought.

“Amazing truly a blessing to have help and she really does take care of my puppy, even though he is a little challenging because he broke his arm. She’s still helped with him.”

“Roy was awesome! He was flexible with pick up times and sent me a ton of photos during the stay. When I picked up my pup, he didn’t want to leave which was a great sign! Would definitely rebook :)”

“This was Mitzi’s first time staying with Matt, and it went really well. She was a little nervous at first, but Matt was patient and made her feel comfortable. He communicated regularly and sent photo updates, which I really appreciated. By the end of the stay, she seemed relaxed and happy. I’d definitely book with Matt again. Thanks for taking such great care of Mitzi!”

“Anita was great. We came from NC to visit family and had a last minute need for a sitter for our shih tzu and Anita was available for boarding for one night. She was very nice and welcoming when we dropped him off. He was very happy there. Will definitely have her as a sitter again.”

Laura O.

“Happy I found Martha to take care of Niko. She responds in a timely manner & very flexible with my last minute requests. She ask all the important questions to assure she provides the best care for your fur-child. My shy Niko and her sweet pup Misty got along really well hanging out for the first time. Niko enjoyed his stay with Martha & her family!”

About: Hi! My name is chynna (China), I know life can be expensive and I know my rates are higher. However please send me a message and I am willing to work with any budget! :) I've grown up with dogs my whole life, I work currently as a barber which gives me the flexibility to enjoy daily walks and cuddles with your furry friends. I come from a loving family who has always had a soft spot for dogs in our lives. There isn't a day I can't remember not having a pup. I reallly hope that I can look after your pup for you! I can guarantee you that your puppy is in great hands! I currently work part time and have more then enough time to watch and love on your animals. I have been doing so for the past 10 years and would love to help your loved one feel cozy when you are away! I have a fenced in patio, a close by dog park, and huge water bowls. If you would like your dog crated please provide a crate!

“love bringing my dog to deanna! he gets so much socialization and literally is overly excited everytime we pull up, he just runs in and forgets we ever existed lol. she always sends updates and pictures and i know he’s taken care of. highly recommend!!”

“Davis was flexible and allowed us to drop off Beryl earlier. He seems to be enjoying looking after pets. Our initial meet left a positive impression and we’ll definitely book again if we watch another event around Golden 1 stadium.”

“Anthony is a very patient and understanding dog sitter that I would definitely recommend to anyone in the Sacramento area. I could tell he has experience working with dogs. His home is comfortable and he has a large backyard for dogs to roam around in. I was probably more nervous than I needed to be since my dog can be pretty reactive towards new dogs, but Anthony and his dog Millie provided a very welcoming and supportive environment for my dog. He also texted me update pictures that I really appreciated.”

“Anna was amazing watching Elliot for me! I dropped him off at her place and he settled in comfortably and easily with her. I would recommend Anna!”

About: I have taken care of my own fur friends (cats and dogs) since time immemorial! I've had dogs both large and small, quiet and rowdy, and feel comfortable with caring for them all. From a young age, I helped to take care of all aspects of caring for the family's furry companions, and have done so for friends--both over the weekend and just checking in to make sure they have food, water, and companionship. I also adore cats! I've got one of my own, Cleo, who I adopted last year. I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats and understand them very well. I have a gentle nature that I think animals respond well to, and can gauge an animal's personality to find ways to best approach and care for them. My cat Cleo requires pets first thing in the morning, so that is at the top of the to-do list. After this, I ensure that she has fresh, filtered water and enough food. I work from home, so she is near me lots and enjoys hourly rubs. I also ensure that she stays active and mentally stimulated with toys and our version of fetch (me just running back and forth). She gets groomed at least 3-4 times per week, emptied box daily, and I frequently monitor her food and water intake and other habits (e.g. self-grooming) cause I want to make sure she's with me for the long haul! I am a very attentive, loving human companion. First and foremost, I ensure my cat has her most basic needs: food, water, clean litter. My cat had some issues with not keeping food down, so I did some reading and got her elevated bowls. If Cleo could talk, she'd tell you that when she was having issues, I was right there comforting her. Luckily, Cleo does not have a habit of eating foreign objects, but I ensure that the floor is clear of any string or debris that she could choke on, or that may cause her sickness. When I have helped out friends, I ensure that I follow their directions exactly as they are written, and if anything is unclear, ensuring that I clarify or follow up. It means a lot that someone would entrust their fur family to me, so I would treat their cat or dog with the same love and attention that I give mine.

“I have used Katherine twice now for doggy day care, she is very accommodating and understanding when things come up. She is great with our pup and she is always tried when she comes home which is exactly what we want. I know she takes great care of her and regularly sends me updates.”

About: I am a longtime cat and dog lover with over 25 years experience in caring for pets. I also have experience working in healthcare and love to care for senior pets, puppies, kittens and pets of all ages and sizes. I am recently retired from my 30 plus years in Healthcare and am looking forward to my dream job of providing your fur babies care in my loving home. I have a fenced yard with a nearby park in Woodlake neighborhood for outdoor fun. But most days we will be cuddling on the couch.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years, but my real training started with my own dog Haku. He has taught me patience, routine, and how to understand different dog personalities. I am used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. Haku is friendly with children, other dogs, and cats, so I understand the importance of proper introductions and calm environments. Every dog has their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I work from home, so I get to spend most of my day around dogs. I’m available for boarding on weekends and flexible during weekdays. Your pup will have company, regular walks, and a steady routine instead of being left alone all day. Dogs can sense calm energy, and I bring that into my home. I keep things structured but relaxed. I respect each dog’s personality and never force interactions. Haku runs quality control and makes sure every guest feels welcome.

“Teddy had a great afternoon and evening. Communication was very quick and I love getting updates and photos. He had a great night and slept well when he got home. I will definitely use her again when we are back in the area thank you so much.”
