Pet Sitting El Dorado Hills

About: Hi, I'm Katelyn! I've always had a strong love for animals and have grown up around dogs my entire life. Being around pets from a young age has helped me become comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have looked after my neighbors' dogs and cats, which has allowed me to work with a variety of personalities, routines, and individual care needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I make it a priority to help them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. I provide dependable dog walking and pet care with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or a slower pace, I'll tailor each visit to their needs. I'm attentive to details, follow care instructions carefully, and always treat pets as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind by providing reliable care and regular updates. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m unavailable during those mornings, but I’ll be back in the area by around 1 PM. The rest of my weekdays are open, so I’m able to work around your pet’s schedule and routine. My weekend availability will vary, but I’ll do my best to be flexible and accommodate your needs. I also make it a priority to keep my availability calendar up to date and will communicate as early as possible if I become aware of any scheduling conflicts. Clear communication and reliability are important to me, and I want pet owners to feel confident when booking with me. For drop-ins and walks, I come in, let your dog out, and take them on a walk or give them a potty break depending on what they need. I refill water, feed them if that’s part of the visit, and clean up after them. I also spend a bit of time playing or giving attention so they’re not just in and out. Before I leave, I make sure everything is locked up and your dog is safe and settled. I’ll send you a quick update after each visit so you know how it went.

About: I grew up on a farm and have experience taking care of all kinds of pets and animals, but I especially love canine companions. I have my own dog that I cherish and have trained myself! I’m a go to for many of my friends and family for a dog sitter and I love that they know they can rely on me to take care of their best friends! I’m a stay at home mom to a beautiful baby girl. We love to adventure together, including helping care for your pet when you cannot! My daily routine can easily be adjusted to your needs and wants! I’ve needed last minute sitters before. I’m here to be that help for you. I am confident and capable of taking care of your pets needs.

“Amy provided great care (and technical support!) while pet sitting for us. She was consistent and communicative and provided great updates while we were away.”

About: I have been watching animals since I was young , as somebody who has grown up with cats, dogs, chickens, turtles, parrots etc. I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for pets of all kinds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and watch their pets. I’m responsible, caring, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I love being around animals and am happy to spend as much time with them as needed. I take great care of my own pets and always make sure they are fed, comfortable, safe, and given plenty of attention. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I would treat them the same way while following their normal routine and any instructions their owner provides. I’ll make sure they get plenty of playtime, walks, food, water, and attention while you’re away.

“Ronni did great with our cat! She always kept us up to date on how our cat was doing and will definitely request her again!”

About: My attentiveness with dogs who need a little extra care. I've looked after a senior dog, learning to adjust to a slower pace and keep a close eye on her comfort and needs. I've also cared for a reactive dog, so I'm comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I'm home throughout the day to give your pup steady attention, and I treat every dog like one of my own. My mornings start around 8am with a 20 minute walk, followed by treats when we get home. I serve breakfast around 11am and offer treats a couple more times during the day. I usually let the dogs out in the backyard for 5–10 minutes once or twice between the morning and evening walks. In the late afternoon, around 4–5pm, I take the dogs to the dog park, or if it's too hot, we wait until 6–7pm for a 20–25 minute walk instead. Before bed, I let them out in my backyard one last time. Your pup will get steady attention, exercise, and lots of love all day long. My backyard is fully fenced and secure, so dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely. I have two friendly dogs of my own who make great company for visiting pups. At mealtimes I separate the dogs into different corners so each one can focus on their own food without stress. During the day I let them out in the backyard for 5–10 minutes at a time, and before bed I always go outside with them to supervise and make sure everyone is safe and settled. Your fur baby will be in a calm, secure, and attentive environment.

“Deanna has watched our dogs multiple times now and everytime we are very happy! She sends daily videos on her 30 minute drop in visits to feed when we are out of town. I trust her completely in our home when we are gone! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs their furry friends watched.”

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been surrounded by animals! My next-door neighbor would trust me for weeks at a time to take care of her old cat, and I would always take care of my pets when my parents weren’t home. Over the past year and a half, I worked at a local veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve decided to take on pet-sitting full time while I finish college with my career goal being a veterinarian! I also own a leopard gecko, giving me experience handling exotic reptiles! Whether your pets need frequent potty breaks, walks, play-dates, or any sort of medication, I’m your gal! Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority! I’m currently unemployed, and about to finish my college semester- giving me of the time in the world to work with you and your pets! My availability will always be flexible and I will be attentive to any of your needs. I live with one (soon to be two) dogs! My current dog is very sweet and sociable- she loves to make new friends! I’m used to taking big and small dogs on walks, and am more than willing to take your pet on a playdate with mine! I can crate your animal, prepare special meals, and clean up after them if they’re used to going potty in your backyard! Same thing applies to cats and their litter-boxes! I will always be sure to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away.

“As always, Deborah took excellent care of Gracie and Ben. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure they get plenty of quality time outside!”

“Rachel has been our go-to dog walker when my husband and I work long 12 hour shifts. She is always on time, takes lots of pictures, and goes out of her way to make my pups feel safe & loved. We love Rachel!”

About: I’m a part-time working mom looking to fill my free hours doing what I love! I have my own special needs dog (cleft palate), and have fostered dogs previously, one with spina bifida. I’ve been raised with cats and dogs my entire life, as well as birds and small critters as a child! I’ve always cared for neighbors’ dogs and cats, as well ad housesat, and spent a lot of my childhood shadowing and spending time with my cousin who was a veterinarian. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of free time throughout the week to come check on and spend time with your doggos! My schedule does change and fluctuate, but I can typically work around and with it. I don’t care for pets in my home, but when I care for them in yours, I will always treat them as my own while following all of your rules and guidelines. I know how important that is to me when someone watches my special needs dogs, so I will always respect and follow any and all instructions!

“Five Star All The Way Lauren was exceptional. She was dependable, reliable, loving, and sweet to our Abby girl. She arrived on time every time and went above and beyond. A gem of a person and we will definitely be using her again. I felt safe having her in our home and with our pup.”

About: I have always loved animals since I was little and have had various furry friends throughout my life. I have cared for dogs from miniature Poodles to German Shepherds; each animal has their own unique personality and I look forward to meeting them all. I have embraced retirement, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry family. From walking your neighborhood, exploring various trails, or just play time at the park or home, I will give your pet the love and attention I would my own pets. I currently have two cats, who are indoor only. They are played with daily, although half the time they just sleep in the sun. My current home project is to build them a catio so they can sleep there too. July 2026 added two more cats and another cat tower. 😊

“Madison took great care of our two cats while we were away for a week. She dropped in on them once a day and sent photos. I will book her again for any trips we take.”

About: I have had pets all of my growing up and have taken care of them. I have walked many dogs on wag from small dogs with little activity to huskies. Also for a year and half now I have house sitter for clients from a week to a weekend to a day. Getting a degree has shown me my resilience, self-determination, and commitment to hard work. Also my ability to provide compassionate care not only to people but also making your pets feel safe. I’m currently working full time from 8:00am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday in person in Sacramento. So it would be great if you have a doggy door or some way for the pets to potty during the day outside. After 4:30pm I am able to stay the whole night with furr babies. When going into your home, I will make sure to be respectful of your surroundings and be in and out as fast as possible. Also I will leave it as I initially saw the home when I arrived.

About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience and a genuine bond with dogs. While I haven’t worked as a professional dog sitter before, I’ve been caring for dogs since I was seven years old. I’m now 32, and throughout my life, I’ve had a Maltese, an English Setter, and a Gordon Setter. My setters were hunting dogs, so I’m comfortable with energetic, intelligent breeds that need both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’ve trained them in basic obedience, manners, and recall, and I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and clear boundaries. I’ve cared for both small and large dogs, and I’m experienced with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. I can also teach simple commands and fun tricks like sit, stay, lie down, roll over, spin, and shake. I am a Spanish woman who moved to Folsom with my husband a year ago. I am a great animal lover and I have had dogs since I was little. In my childhood, I lived with two setters: an English setter and a Gordon setter, and a Maltese bichon. This has given me experience with both large and small dogs. Now, although we cannot have one of our own, I would love to care for others, as I greatly enjoy their company. My daily routine is flexible, and I have full availability to adapt to the needs of clients and their pets. I fully adapt to each pet’s needs. I am very attentive and will always ensure the dog has food, water, and is comfortable. If I notice something is wrong, I address it immediately. I handle walks carefully, avoiding direct sun, and if bathing is needed, I do so with experience, using proper shampoos and conditioners, especially for long coats. I can also brush them. If a vet visit is required, I will take care of it. Additionally, I love playing with dogs and making sure they feel calm and happy when their owners are away. In short, I handle all the care a dog needs with attention and affection.
