“We boarded our 9 month old pup for the first time with Denise. She is absolutely amazing! We were super nervous leaving her and wanted to try a more personal boarding experience. Denise did not disappoint. She sent frequent pics & videos of our girl. We could tell she was having a ball & getting so much love & attention from Denise & her family. We will definitely be using her for all of our future boarding needs!”

I would definitely book with briana in the future.”

They were lovely people to meet and visit with during the meet and greet. We would 100% have Zeus stay with them again. Thank you so much!”

Luna and TJ are so excited to see her when I drop them off. Great at keeping me updated on how they are doing and sending videos and pictures.”
“Ty enjoyed his stay. He had plenty to do and was well hydrated. I will be using her service again, plus it was great that the sitter lived so close to me.”
“Abigail was wonderful. I could tell when I picked my dog up that he felt comfortable and happy. While he was excited to see me, he still had to get a few more pets from her before we left. I highly recommend Abigail and I truly hope to use her again in the future. If I could leave 10 stars, I would.”
“Annie was GREAT! Not only is my dog the size of a mini horse, it was his first time being around non-family for an extended period of time. Annie offered a meet and greet to help ease our concerns being away from Herbert. She took so much care and introduced Herbert to the other dogs at a slow pace which was wonderful. Annie provided several updates throughout the day every day we were gone, including videos! It was our first time using a pet boarding service and I am so grateful for her understanding. She went the extra mile and made it all so effortless. Thanks again Annie. Herbert truly enjoyed himself and we look forward to having him visit again!”
About: I have extensive experience in animal care, including wildlife rehabilitation through the Sacramento Wildlife Association and years of professional pet sitting and dog walking services. My hands-on experience includes caring for a wide range of animals such as dogs, raccoons, deer, and squirrels—each requiring unique attention and handling. I’ve bottle-fed orphaned fawns, rehabilitated injured raccoons, provided enrichment for squirrels, and ensured the physical and emotional well-being of dogs of all breeds and temperaments. This diverse background has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, medical needs, and compassionate care across both domestic and wild species. As a full-time stay-at-home caregiver, pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily routine. With my background in wildlife rehabilitation through the Sacramento Wildlife Association and years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking, I’m able to dedicate focused time and attention to each animal's unique needs. Whether it's regular walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and prioritize throughout my day. I am a lifelong animal lover who take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for every pet in our care. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s specific needs and routine, whether in my home or the client’s. In a client’s home, I follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, medication, and routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy a quiet, secure environment with a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for safe playtime and exercise. I offer regular potty breaks, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Cleanliness, safety, and communication are my top priorities, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages to ensure peace of mind while they’re away.
“Kirsten was an amazing sitter. She paid great attention to our care instructions. Cooper had fun with her kids who were gentle, loving, and respectful. Cooper seemed very happy during and after his stay. Ca’t wait to be back.”
“Tammy and her family were amazing with Butter! They took him on so many walks and brought him to school to meet all the kids. I appreciate how inclusive they were to Butter and brought him along everywhere even when Butter gets extremely excited 😅. Definitely would book again, thank you Tammy!”
“Jessica and her family were so welcoming to both me and Rocky from the get go. At our meet and greet it took him a few moments to get comfortable but then he didn’t want to leave lol. Drop off was super easy and even when I advised Jessica that I may not be reachable much she ensured that I received plenty pictures and videos of my baby boy. I will definitely be rebooking boarding and some play dates because I think Gunner may be his new bestie. 100/10 stars”
“Rachel is a fantastic sitter with an adorable pup who kept our little cuddle bug in very good spirits while we went for a weekend trip. We received multiple photos of her playing and updates on her, which is always reassuring. Most importantly, Minnie seemed to have a great time playing with Rachel’s pup, and their socializing seemed to have left her in very high spirits. We hope to come back again sometime!”
“Teddy is always happy and calm after a stay with Wendy and Aj! Wendy sends updates regularly, and I never have any worries when he is in their care! I appreciate them, and so does Teddy:)”
