House Sitting in Elders Corner

“As always, Nancy did an excellent job caring for Otis while we were on vacation! Kept us updated with pictures and communicated as often as needed. I love how Otis greets her like family now and was so happy to see her when she arrived! We are so happy to have found her!”

“This is already the third time this summer that Shayna has stayed with our high-spirited Jack Russell terrier. It’s such a relief to be able to get away knowing that our dog and our house are in excellent hands! I cannot give a high enough recommendation for Shayna. She is absolutely amazing!!”

About: I started taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs after retiring in 2024. My lifelong love for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes is now my daily passion! As an active retiree, I don't have any pets currently, and the house is empty and waiting for my next furry friend! I've cared for everything from dachshunds to a Bernese Mountain Dog. I love cats, but I want to watch them in your home, not mine. Happy to house-sit, work overnight shifts, and care for senior dogs and puppies. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have miles of walking trails and parks in the community, as well as an electronic fence for any dogs that need unrestricted access to a yard. I am fully retired and spend my days caring for your pets. Rarely will your important pet be left alone, if at all. I used Rover with my senior dog, Tucker, for over 5 years and met some wonderful people. It was a relief to me when I traveled, knowing my best friend was also enjoying his time in a safe, loving home. Now I meet new animal friends every week, and it feeds my soul and theirs. Your fur baby will have a dedicated sleeping space, feeding space, and unlimited access to our yard, depending on your needs. Full access to the entire house. I encourage you to bring toys, pet beds, crates, and any other items that will make your cherished pet comfortable. We are comfortable giving medication to older dogs, working with young puppies, and customizing our days to fit your pet's regular routines (such as walks, feeding, medication, and brushing). We have access to a private dog park, but we only go there after discussing it with you in advance. Note: we have an unfenced yard but use sound/ vibration to alert your pup if s/he is trying to escape. No electricity involved, just moderate stimulation. Most dogs learn the boundaries very quickly and without any discomfort.

“Nicole did a fantastic job. Extremely attentive to our cats needs and went above and beyond. We will be using her in the future.”

“I had the pleasure of having Alexus dog sit for me while I was traveling, and she was absolutely fantastic. My dog is older and needs a bit of extra attention, and Lexi was so caring and attentive the entire time. She followed all the feeding and walking instructions perfectly and was always punctual. Letting someone stay in your home can be a little uncomfortable, but Lexi was super respectful of the space and clearly focused on making my dog feel comfortable and cared for. I felt totally at ease knowing she was here. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone dependable and kind!”

“Bryce was a great dog/house sitter. Chai and Sassy were well cared for and he walked them daily. He also gave Sassy extra walks to burn off some of her energy. We appreciated the daily updates (photos) showing their well being. The dogs seemed contented when we returned home. Bryce arrived on time and kept our house neat and clean. We would definitely hire him again.”

“Emma was wonderful watching our 2 cats last minute while we were out of town. She asked great questions beforehand and we would definitely use her again”

About: I have had a dog since I was three but started to seriously take care of them around the age of 7. In the past three years I have begun to do a majority of the work for my four family dogs. I am currently working part time at Target, and would love to be able to hang out and spend time with animals on my days off! I will spend most of the day with your pet, making sure to give lots of love and attention. Also depending on age and energy levels I will provide the necessary exercise that your pet requires!

“Dayton is the dog sitter and person we have been hoping for and waiting for. She arrived right on time, and immediately connected with Tuli our German Shepherd. IYKYK how loud and scary a German Shepherd's bark can be when someone new arrives in her/our domain. Dayton was nonplussed, and Tuli felt totally comfortable with her instantaneously. Additionally, Dayton is a very kind, caring person and someone we will from now on ask to care for Tuli.”

About: Hello! I’ve been loving and caring for local pets for around 25 yrs. Some pets were young pups and kittens; some were older seniors. I specialize in petsitting at my clients homes. My longest pet sitting job was 3.5 weeks while the owners were in Italy. I have many referrals. I’ve taken care of miniature horses, Friesian horses, and a pig. (We have a lot of rural homes in Auburn area). I’m retired from a construction accounting job. We’re gladly at home most days! My shedule is flexible; if you have an emergency need for pet sitting, I’m your gal. I prefer to petsit at my client’s homes. The animals rather appreciate this. I like to meet the animal(s) before sitting so when I arrive, we have a connection. I give the animals plenty of one-on-one attention. This may include doggy massage to calm them and get to know them. Lots of walks if they like that. Potty Breaks every couple of hours to begin with, as they’re sometimes nervous or have stomach upsets. I’d like to know your favorite names for them, what your routines are, rituals, their favorite things to do. I’ve also stayed with animals after their surgeries to monitor when the owner has to work.

About: I have been responsible for my family pets just about my whole life. Animals are my passion, dogs especially; I absolutely love being around them, no matter the breed. I'm knowledgeable about breed-specific behaviors and needs and am open to any dog, given they are not aggressive towards me. I can give baths, trim nails and brush out loose fur. I can administer oral medication and will keep on schedule with feeding if you have one. I am always on time and more than willing to do my best with any special requests you may have. Your best friend's comfort and enjoyment is my priority, whether it's a walk, home visit, or overnight stay. I am also knowledgeable about and very comfortable with cats, as well as fish, reptiles, and small animals. I have a chinchilla and a pet jumping spider of my own! I am currently unemployed; my only schedule commitments at the moment (when I would be unavailable) are on Tuesdays and Fridays from 1-2pm, and Tuesdays through Thursdays from 4-7pm. I would love to pet-sit full time! I can provide walks around your neighborhood or at our local park, and will tire your dog out (if needed) in whatever way they choose. I love getting dog cuddles as well :-)

About: As someone who grew up on a farm and winery in the hills of Auburn, caring for animals is nothing foreign to me! Since I could walk I’ve been tending to all sorts of animals, cows, horses, ducks, chickens, birds and of course plenty of dogs and cats. I’ve been a groomer, doggy daycare group leader and trainer for going on five years. I am always eager to find ways to help others take care of their furry friends as it’s always been my passion! I’m working part time at a dog resort as a lodging assistant, groomer, and activities leader. My availability for them is Thursday through Sunday 6-3 however I’m taking a step back from the resort due to driving distance. My other days primarily I am participating in nature walks, river days, rock climbing with friends and working on my music! I’m very energetic and like to be constantly moving! Adventurous to the core For my kitty, she has a schedule. 6 am breakfast, 12 pm lunch, 6pm dinner. If she has medication it’s given first thing in the morning. I de shed her about once a week and get her groomed about every 6 months to a year. She is an outdoor explorer so when I’m taking her out I slip on her harness and collar. I have a travel backpack to take her in for larger adventures too. If I’m gone for longer periods of time I keep her in an enclosed area or have someone care for her.

“Nicole is very responsible, and respectful. This is our first time having her at the house with our Addie dog, we have booked her for an upcoming longer trip, and there’s no doubt she will do a great job! Thanks Nicole.”

We have 5 acres of play space and a one friendly dog of our own to keep your pet happy and occupied. We also have pet beds, bowls, and toys available, or you may bring your own if your pet prefers. :)

About: I've never had a period longer than a year where there weren't at least 2 dogs living in my house. I've walked them, brushed them, fed them, gave them water, the whole shebang. Big and small dogs are both welcome I work at Domino's often in the afternoons and evenings, but will always make sure your dog(s) have what they need beforehand and will be there at night for any late-night "issues" I'm probably going to spoil your dog with attention, making sure he or she is always happy amd content when I am there, and will always make sure there is food, water, and bathroom time

“Lorena was such a great sitter for our girl Cali. She took amazing care and was constantly checking in and sending photos which we LOVED! We can't wait to have her back again.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was eight years old. My family and I have had chickens, goats, cats, dogs, birds and other odd pets. I love animals and I could cuddle them all day :) My schedule is super flexible! I am an online student at sierra college, so I am home a lot. I have pets as well and I walk them daily, feed them, brush them, etc. I have a huge love for animals and a proven track record of responsible pet care. With my previous experience, I understand the importance of providing attention to each pet's specific needs.

“Aiden did a great job watching Lily and our house during a 4 day trip. We felt comfortable during our trip away knowing both were in good hands.”
