“You can tell taking care of animals is in Nelson’s blood. He came through for me and Nico on a last minute business trip and provided plenty of updates throughout the day. In addition to taking excellent care of Nico, Nelson also left the house even cleaner than I did when I left which is such a relief after coming home from a trip. Thanks again Nelson, Nico is already looking forward to hanging out with you next time!”



“We had a great first experience with Carol and are happy to have her booked for our next trip! She was attentive and very communicative; Tidbit and Murphy seemed to be very comfortable. I happily recommend Carol for your pet and/or house sitting needs.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young, especially dogs and even reptiles! I’ve spent many many hours researching different breeds of dogs so I could understand what they needed to be happy and healthy. I can even do bath times! With me, your pets will be in the best of care. I’m a stay at home mom who loves playing with pets and taking them on walks and play dates. I have a large vehicle which allows for me to transport pets easily. If you need them brought to the groomer or the vet? I’m your girl! I’m currently available to pupsit on weekends with weekdays on a case to case basis, I have two very friendly dogs who love making new friends! They are both crate trained which will allow those pets with a fear of others to thrive. My yard is fenced in as well and I have a 5yr old who loves to play with animals and go on very long walks

“Wondering experience with Devin! He house sat and made sure the communicate every couple hours with updates and pictures of my sweet puppies. When he left he cleaned his linens, started the dishwasher, and vacuumed so I would come home to a clean house. My dogs really enjoyed him, will be rebooking soon!”


“Danielle was AMAZING!!! Our pets are pretty quirky and Danielle easily adapted to their needs without hesitation. We even encountered an unexpected snafu while away and Danielle was quick to problem solve the situation and communicate effectively to achieve resolution. I have absolutely no doubt she can handle my pets again with ease. I will definitely be looking to hire Danielle in the future.”


About: As a child, I assisted my stepdad with basic obedience and potty training for dogs as young as 6 months old for his dog training business. I have personally owned a red & blue nose pit bull rescue mates( plus a litter of 6 puppies). I currently own a 5 year old Lowchen rescue , two 6 month old Husky rescues, 2 aquatic turtles, and 9 fish. Despite my experience, I am ready to learn how to love and care for your family pet as you would. I'm am available 7- days a week to care for your pet. I understand things can change at last minute so I am available for same day service / cancellation. Providing services in your homes means I am to give the love and care I would provide to any animal at anytime. I will keep your pet safe as instructed, check in as needed to assure your peace of mind.

About: Growing up in a family that loved animals I had gained experience caring for and training small, medium, and large dogs as well as cats and horses! I have held the titles of Miss Calaveras Saddle Queen, Miss California State Horseman's Association, and Miss Rodeo Oakdale. All of these titles were ambassador rolls for excellent animal welfare care and required a tremendous amount of equine care knowledge. My knowledge of animal care was expanded further during my employment at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital as first a kennel assistant and then a veterinary assistant. Working at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital I provided routine walks for a vast variety of dog breeds that were both boarding and hospitalized. I am able to administer medications if need be and willing to help with medical care. Currently a student at UC Davis, my weekly routine is very flexible for providing you the best pet care possible! This quarter mornings and evenings work best during week days and my weekends are open! My employee feedback from Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital described me as thorough, patient, and compassionate. I am confident that I will provide your pet with all the play time, treats, and care they could possibly want!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep love for animals of all kinds—young, old, healthy, or those needing extra care. With over 13 years of hands-on experience, I’ve worked with pets who have medical needs, including administering daily medications, caring for dogs with seizures, and supporting senior pets with mobility or incontinence issues. I’m especially tuned in to the unique needs of cats—I've lived with and cared for them for over a decade, and currently have five of my own. I can bathe them, trim their nails, and most importantly, earn their trust (because as any cat lover knows, they choose us—not the other way around!). I also love spending time outdoors with dogs—whether it’s a long walk or just time to sniff around and explore. I currently have one dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family. That’s exactly what I do. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to take dogs out for walks in the morning, during the day, or in the evening—whatever works best for your pet’s needs. I’m also available for house visits, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and anything else your furry friend may need. Caring for animals isn’t just something I make time for—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and build my day around. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and aim to keep things just as you left them. I’ll send regular updates so you know how your pet is doing and can feel totally at ease while you're away. If pets are staying with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I have experience managing multiple pets and keeping everyone safe and happy, whether it’s quiet time for an older pet or more active play for a younger one.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve had all kinds of breeds and trained working dogs from duck hunting to cattle dogs. I’ve used working dogs with my job and that’s taught me to handle all kinds of different situations. I love taking care of animals right now and just move back home so i have a lot of free time on my hands. I’m available at any time of day. I always make sure the pet will have food and water, will get outside time and time to go potty, i will make sure they get some pets and play time. I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they are safe and healthy and well taken care of.

About: Ever since I remember, I’ve been around animals. As young as four years old, I would help my grandparents around the ranch, taking care of cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. In the last two years of school, we ran a dog washing business out of my vet class where we would wash brush blow dry and care for the dogs. I myself own seven dogs, five cats and three lizards I am currently a recent high school graduate, college athlete and I am looking for a job to help me start my new stage in life, where I am studying to become a veterinarian I have a fence in backyard, which is about a Half acre. All my dogs are friendly. They range from a Great Dane to a Dachshund

About: I grew up with pets in the home. I have always had dogs and cats and I love animals in general. I have 5 solid years of pet-sitting experience, and I love it. I am very patient with all pets. I have a boxer so I know how hyper dogs can get lol, I don’t mind it at all. I will provide great care and love for your pets! I currently have a part-time job that doesn’t take up much of my time at all. My schedule is extremely flexible, especially in the next few months. I have 5 inside dogs and 1 outside dog, as well as 4 inside cats. They all love each other, I give my pets a lot of freedom while also keeping them disciplined when needed. I have a very loving relationship with all of my pets, and for yours I will accommodate to their needs and I am very patient with more out-going/hyper pets.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was super little, but have dog sat since I was 12. I love taking dogs for walks or just watching them! I’m super energetic and am always down for a walk. I’m currently in college, but only have one class on Wednesdays from 5-8 pm. The other days I am completely free and my schedule is open! I am very trustworthy and reliable.

About: When mom n dad are away- gramma Paulette is here to stay with your critters- to spoil them with love, exercise, and fun. Leave your worries behind and come home to a happy critter!! Years of experience training, exercise, and a large area to run and play. I tend to spoil with love and treats. We go for walks. Byrd loves play dates. We cuddled at night- Experience with bathing and grooming. Great references and repeat clients says it all. Planned vacations or short notice- I’m usually available. I work from home so my dog Byrd gets to meet new friends. Byrd and I enjoy meeting new dog friends. It’s all about the balls and the backyard. I have years of experience and a great environment with a big fenced backyard with balks and toys and lots of comfy dog beds for a workout and relaxation.

About: I know how hard it is to find good pet care, but to also find someone you trust. I have experience with many different kinds of dogs. My own being an epileptic German shepherd-husky mix. She was a rescue, and with her health conditions, I find it important that I can find and trust someone to take care of her needs, from medications to in the event of an episode. My previous dog was a senior boxer rescuer who had numerous health issues and required a strict diet and strict medication schedule. He needed all-around care and did not like to be left alone; he was my everything, and when his old age caught up to him, I was heartbroken. But we did everything we could to keep him alive, from medications to diet changes and belly bands. Nothing astopped the love and the need to help my baby. My mom recently took in a lab who is going blind, who now I also have experience taking care of; she can no longer see, but that doesn’t stop her energy! She can still play ball, and she goes on walks and even swims. No ask is too big, and no schedule is too tight. Your babies become my babies, and I will do everything I can to give you peaceful insight while being away and give your furbabies a pawsome vacation! I am very flexible! The more heads up I’m given, I can accommodate and we can work something out for your babies. I can also work with last minute arrangements. I think it’s very important your pet is comfortable with me. Making sure we meet and they get along with me and use to my scent. And establishes your pets dos and don’ts. Such as is your pet a runner, reactive, or bitter? Questions like these create a safe space not only for your animal but for me as well, as I know them and they know me!

I have a fenced backyard that they can freely roam in and can cage them if you would prefer that.
