Pet Sitting in Elk Grove

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I have trained almost all my dogs since they were puppies. I have trained my own service dog. I have a passion for training dogs. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time to play with and train your pup. I can take them for daily walks around the park as well. I have a fenced yard and a nearby park to take your dog for a walk. I have my own friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a cat, but if your dog does not like cats, I can isolate may cat from your dog. My big dog seems to have a way of knowing how to make dogs feel comfortable in our home. He knows when to interact with them and when to just leave them alone. I am retired so I have lots of time to spend with your dog. I try to schedule my activities around when I have dogs, so I can devote all my time to caring for the dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise dogs when they are outside. I try to set up play dates with a neighbor who also works for Rover. My husband and family members are usually around to play with and take dogs on walks. I am currently transforming my services to focus more on training sessions in my client’s home. My main focus is working with young pups and to start training from day one, although I welcome the opportunity to train dogs of all ages. My goals are to offer support to dog owners on how to properly train desired behaviors in their dogs. I closely monitor all dogs, especially during play. I train the dogs how to play appropriately with each other. I will only crate dogs if it’s for their own safety. The only services I do in a client’s home are training sessions with the client present.

“Tammy was great. Reliable and professional. Came on time every day and cooresponed with pictures through the Rover app.”

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.

Make sure he’s fed and cared for if weather permits taking them to the park or just having fun.

About: I’ve taken care of my girlfriend’s family’s 2 rottweilers and 1 miniature schnauzer, as well as their 2 cats, for periods of time that stretch from 3 days to 1 week. I always pay attention to the owner’s instructions on what the pets need, how to keep them entertained and healthy, and at what times to do what things. I will always put your pets’ safety first and provide the best service I can offer. Not currently working part time so pet care will be much easier and more efficient for me. Weekends are a coin toss as I may be on call on those days. I am a fast learner, so I will ensure that all your pets will be safe and doing their normal behaviors throughout your house, I will make sure no animals can run out and I will treat your pets with the utmost care and respect.

About: I’ve had pets for all my life and have taken care of them for an equal amount of time. I have walked and bathed them, taken care of them when they weren’t feeling well, and just love animals. I am free every day of the week so I have plenty of time to walk and play with many animals all week. I am available for walks and sit in every day. I have had two dogs in the past and have taken them on walks and fed and bathed them every day aswell as 4 cats over the years aswell which I have fed and taken of for pretty much all my life.

About: I have worked in Petsmart before, teaching me how to handle reactive outbursts from pets and learning different tips to keep your pets happy! I have a lot of experience in giving oral medications to animals in both pill and liquid form. I can work well with dogs 10 weeks and up, and quick to notice any unusual behavior or appearances. As a college student back for the summer, I have a lot of free time to help take dogs on walks, petsit overnight, and anything else needed to make your needs met! I would prefer petsitting within your home to keep your pets as comfortable as possible when you’re not around. I do have a dog myself and she is not that comfortable with new dogs or cats around her. I will make sure to respect your space and provide all the care and attention your pet needs while you’re away. I will always have your contact on speed dial if anything happens to your lovely pet!

About: Hi, my name is Mackenzie. Growing up, I was frequently around pets including caring for my own and helping my mom with pet sitting. If there was an animal at any event, you could almost guarantee that I was snuggled right up beside them. My love for animals has only grown as I have opened my heart and my home to these amazing creatures. Over the years I have cared for numerous animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and lizards. I currently share my home with two adorable bunnies. Pets require a lot of hard-work and dedication, but the reward of a happy pet is worth every amount of effort. If needed, I am able to assist any animals with behavior issues or that require special care such as taking meds I currently work part time from 1pm to 6pm and have weekends free so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I am a very attentive pet sitter. If a pet is not already cuddled up next to me, I take regular breaks from whatever I am doing to check on them. Even if I bring my homework, I will make sure your pet is my number one priority and does not get into any trouble

“Great initial visit. He wasn't scared of my dog who is super large and tries to be menacing to strangers. Looking forward to them becoming good friends!”

“Ariana is amazing. She always kept us up to date if there were any change in her schedule. But most importantly, she loved our babies as much as we love them, and they loved her coming by. She is absolutely amazing and we will be contacting her again as needed.”

About: I’ve had experience with a variety of pets throughout my whole life. Since I was young we always had pets in our house. We’ve had chickens, puppies, senior dogs, rabbits, and a few others. This means that I have had loads of experience caring for and simply loving all different types of animals. In addition to all of this I’ve been pet sitting for a variety of my neighbors since I was ten. So I also have loads of experience caring for other people’s pets. I’m currently a high school student with no job which means I have a lot of time to effectively care for your pets. I am available most hours of the day, including weekdays, so I will be able to tend to your pets anytime needed. There are some days where I have basketball practice which would make me unavailable in the later hours of the day but I will still be available in the mornings. I ended my last year with a 4.2 gpa while doing extracurriculars. This shows that I am a very hard working individual that can be entrusted with the care of your pets. I also just love being around animals so you can trust that they will be loved like my own.

“Jasmine is so kind and loving... I always feel so good when I leave my kitty in her very capable care. Thank you so much Jasmine - I appreciate you very much!! If you need a pet sitter, I can not recommend her more.”

“Jelena took such good care of our 2 cats in our home while my husband and I were out of state for over 2 weeks. One of our cats is old and hadn't been feeling well and was going outside of the box. Helena had her work cut out for her, but she was very kind and took care of everything. She kept me posted often on how my babies were doing. We were very happy with the job she did taking care of the cats and checking on the house. We will use her again, and we highly recommend her.”
