Cat Sitting in Drytown

“Cole took care of our two cats for three weeks over the holidays, and we couldn't have been more satisfied. From the start, he was incredibly responsive, always quick to answer any messages and keep us updated on how our cats were doing. He’s not only professional, but you can tell he’s a genuinely kind person who loves animals. One of our cats is quite anxious and typically wary of strangers (especially men), but Cole was patient and gentle, quickly winning him over with his calm demeanor and understanding of his needs. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands. Our other cat, a bit more laid-back, absolutely adored him! The house was very clean when we got back home, too. Cole is a true animal lover with a great ability to connect with pets. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up on a ranch with all kinds of animals, so I’ve taken care of every size from quail to horses. I started watching other people’s animals when I was 13, from feeding friends 4H projects to staying at a house with someone’s dog. I’m currently working part time and am about to start my senior year at Sacramento State. I typically have evenings free and a couple hours in the morning depending on my schedule for the week. I’m very flexible and willing to work around or with anything! I don’t offer care in my own home currently as I live in an apartment. But I’m more than willing to watch them in your home to help them stay in their routine!

About: Hi there! I am 22 years old and I grew up with a black lab who had severe separation anxiety, so I understand firsthand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when caring for pets with unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs extra comfort while you’re away, I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care that helps them feel safe and loved. I wrap up work around 1/2 pm so I have the entirety of my afternoons to care for my pet clients! I can work every day of the week! Weekends will need to be 2 days in advance for approval. I own no pets of my own which is why I love this job. It allows me to still live on sweet pets while their owners are gone. I mentioned in my bio that I grew up with a black lab who had severe separation anxiety so I understand that all animals may have differing needs and I am happy to accommodate those!

About: I have owned a dog for seven years and I have taken care of numerous dogs over the years as well. I can take care of multiple dogs and I love to spend quality time and give them the love that they need. They are truly one of a kind animals and I love the joy that they bring me. I work part time at a fast food restaurant and I will be going to school two days a week starting in the fall, which gives me a lot of free time to dog sit, cat sit and spend overnights with them. As a result of my part time schedule, I cannot be there for the dogs or cats at all hours of the day but I can be there anytime that I am not working. I am able to care for pets whether they are outdoor animals or indoor animals. I have taken care of cats who are indoor and dogs who are able to be indoors or outdoors.

About: My friends and family have relied on me to look after their dogs when they’re at work or out of town. My care consists of lots of love, running around in parks and more. I have experience in taking care of cats, dogs and elders! I’m currently working for Rover part time. I will have lots of time to love and care for your pets! I am available on weekends for boarding and weekdays before 5. I have cared for my giant dog for the past 7 years. I love playing with him in the backyard, taking him out for runs and to the parks, as well as grooming his coat.

“Ruth took excellent care of our 3 kitties! I love that she was very thorough and took the time to let us know in detail everything she did with each visit. Although our kitties are very shy and hid under the bed when she came over, she still made sure to check on them and snap a pic so we could see their glowing eyes under the bed. ? We would definitely recommend Ruth and will be happy to have her care for our kitties again. ?”

“We couldn’t be happier with Chelsea’s care for our cats, Sol and Luna! From the moment we met her, it was clear she loves animals and treats them like her own. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Chelsea’s attention to detail, like making sure their favorite toys were out and giving them extra cuddles, truly made a difference. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter. Sol and Luna give her two paws up!”

“Grace was the perfect sitter for my sassy cat. She was caring and considerate, and I returned to a happy cat and a clean house. I would totally use her again!”

About: I have extensive background in animal care and behavior, I have worked as a vet tech and started my own non-profit for special needs cats and kittens in 2009. I have been in the animal welfare field for 26 years. There are 10 fenced acres and 2.5 acres fenced within that is all grass for the pups to play on! I am home the majority of the day, all week and can provide a fun and enjoyable time while you are away. I want you to feel comfortable boarding your companion, so there is no extra charge for special needs, particular preferences, etc.- this is a customized experience. Your pet companion will be cared for and entertained the entire time! Your beloved pets will be watched 24/7 (brief errands do arise). They will have stimulation, play, and comfy couches or beds to sleep on when rest is needed. Your pets will be treated like part of our family. I do have a standing client where I care for their dogs in the mornings, so if needed, that can be worked around, but generally early mornings are difficult to offer during the week. Weekends are open. I have a fenced yard, with 2.5 acres available to run and play. I have friendly dogs that enjoy other dogs if they want to play. I have seperate areas if your dog prefers to be alone. The seperate areas are located inside with temperature control, or if they prefer outside, there are dog runs.

“Christine was amazing! Our senior kitty was well taken care of and she even accomodated us when we extended our trip abroad. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Christine was looking over our kitty, we will be booking her again!”

About: Hi there! I’m Aaralyn and have always been a lifelong animal lover. I would be more than happy to provide the help you need caring for your animals— whether it is just a few hours during the day or for a week! I am here to ensure your animals will be given the best care. To do this I will give your pets daily walks, enrichment activities and promise to treat your animals as if they are my own. I also love keeping you updated with photos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're gone! To let you know a little about me, I am currently a UC Davis student and am looking to spend my time over the summer with some sweet animals! I have plenty of experience with many different animal such dogs, cats, and more. I know how to care for a range of pets as I have cared for senior animals and special needs animals before. I myself have a pup who needs medication every morning and night which come with side effects such as increase in thirst, hunger, and hyperactivity. So, I am well immersed with dogs that may require a little more maintenance. For house sitting, I’d love to meet your animals beforehand so they know who I am first and feel more comfortable when stay in their home for a prolonged period of time. What works best for me is a small yet informational note outlining your pets daily routine— things like when they eat breakfast/lunch/dinner, how much they eat, how often you would like them to be walked, where they go or what they do while I am out of the house, and anything else you feel is necessary. This lets me get an idea of what the animals needs/wants while I am there. This allows me to maintain a comfortable environment for them in hope to reduce any possible stress. For drop in visits: Usually I stay for about an hour and half per drop in visit but if more time is needed or requested that is not a problem! During that time, I will go on walks, engage in different activities with them, and check on food/water too. Also, while I am there if there is any other house maintenance that needs to be done such as skimming the pool or checking the mail let me know! I am happy to however I can. Overall, I hope to hear from you and meet all your pets soon! This summer, I do plan on working, likely part-time, so I will have lots of time to spend time with your animals and taking them on walks or other ways to exert energy! To keep the animals as comfortable as possible with a new person in their home I try to stick to a similar routine that they are used to.

“Shileen is excellent. It was quite obvious that our German Shepherd got attached to her quickly. Since she has two dogs of her own, she related to Gabby in no time at all. She played catch with her, walked around the properly with her, and updated us with photos daily. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog under her care. I will be requesting her dog sitting services again.”

“Amazing with our 2 cats. They loved her and she sent great updates!”
