“joanna exceeded all of my expectations. she took such great care of my two kitties, & were extremely attentive to their needs.🥹 if you’re looking for a great pet sitter, look no further.”
“This is the second time I’ve hired Donna as my pet sitter, and once again, she has exceeded all expectations. During my 6-week vacation, she took phenomenal care of my two adult cats and three kittens, going above and beyond in every aspect of her job. Donna not only ensured that my cats were well-fed and looked after, but she also successfully trained my adult cat, Dusty, who previously didn’t know how to use a litter box, to use it consistently. She also trained the kittens to use the litter box, which was no small feat! What truly impressed me was the extra care Donna provided. She crafted toys out of boxes to keep the cats entertained and spent time each day observing their behavior and eating habits. Her daily updates were incredibly detailed, and she even noted the cats’ flavor preferences, which helped me understand them better. Donna’s commitment and dedication far exceeded my expectations. She provided the kind of care and attention that every pet owner dreams of. I will definitely be hiring Donna again whenever I need a pet sitter. She truly went above and beyond, and I am so grateful for everything she did for my cats.”
“Breann is wonderful. She took such great care of my kitties. She was always communicating with me and I had no worries during my trip! Everyone should book her.. except I always want her to be available when I need a sitter!”
“Without much notice, Brooklyn was able to drop in and tend to my two cats over the Memorial Day weekend. She is flexible, communicates well, follows instructions, and provided lots of pics during her visit. I’d have no problem using her services the next time I need pet care services.”
“David did a great job taking care of our cat, Willow! He sent us pictures and updates and even brought her a little catnip toy when we had our introductory meeting - a very thoughtful gesture. It was very comforting to know she was in good hands while we were out of town for the weekend. Thank you, David!”
“Our 2nd time having Kate watch our cats, and another great experience! She takes excellent care of our cats, gives them love and attention, and keeps us updated along the way. Highly recommend.”
“Jenelle was so wonderful taking care of our dog while we were away. She is incredibly kind and very responsible. I had great piece of mind knowing she was their for our dog!”
“Johnna is an amazing pet sitter. I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to know that she is the one in our home taking care of our beloved pets. I feel very fortunate to have found her.”
“She was cooperative and handled med schedule well. Dogs were in good shape when I got home. She sent pix, fee was reasonable. Very nice lady. Would definitely hire her again.”
About: I recently graduated from New Mexico State University and moved to Sacramento. I have been a pet sitter/walker for about 5 years for friends and friends of friends in my community, as well as taking care of my own for 15 years. I have one sweet chihuahua and a torti cat! I have experience walking different dogs as I volunteered for dog walking for Petsmart and Petco when they have adoptions. I am responsible, kind-hearted, and compassionate for animals. While in my care, I will always ensure the safety of your pets as if they were my own. This is currently my only job so I am able to be with your pets as often or as long as needed! I know some pets may require more attention than others and can work with their schedule. I will treat your pet just like I do mine. Plenty of attention, make sure they have food, plenty of water, and any other special things they like during the day
“Susan did an amazing job with our cats Bonnie and Bosco. Her updates were detailed and timely. She took the time to bond with both cats, and when I arrived home after a long trip, both cats were stress-free and happy. I can't recommend Susan enough!”
“I felt very assured that my cats were in careful hands throughout my time away. Very detailed and thoughtful check ins gave me continuous peace of mind. Clearly a lover of animals! Would love to book Abigayle again when I next need coverage.”
“Derek and Leslie took great care of my 2 cats while I was away on a trip. They stuck to a predetermined schedule and provided timely updates with photos. I would book them again!”

Donna was absolutely wonderful! She’s incredibly knowledgeable about cats and did an amazing job helping our shy cat feel comfortable while we were away. Donna was very communicative and went above and beyond taking care of our boy. Would definitely recommend her for anyone who has animals that may need a little extra care and compassion. Thank you again Donna; you are amazing!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Caring for a senior dog along with our cat, turtle, bird, and fish is no small task, and she handled it all with incredible attention and care. It was clear from the updates that our pets were not just looked after—they were genuinely happy and comfortable. We especially loved the frequent photos and updates while we were away. They gave us real peace of mind and let us actually enjoy our trip knowing everything at home was in great hands. We came home to calm, well-cared-for pets and a house just as we left it. Truly above and beyond—highly recommend.
We adopted our 8-month-old kitties when they were 4 months old. They haven't been around other humans much other than us so I was concerned that they would be fearful of a cat sitter. Johnna was an excellent choice for us and them. She sent playful pictures and good notes. I felt at ease knowing they were in great hands with her. I am so grateful.
We had the pleasure of having Kendra do drop in visits for our cat, who requires multiple medications, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She went above and beyond in ensuring our cat’s needs were met, was incredibly responsive, and followed all the instructions to a T. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Levi was absolutely wonderful to work with! So kind, friendly, and easygoing—we felt completely comfortable leaving all our pets in Levi’s care. Communication was great throughout, and the photo updates of our pet family while we were traveling were such a thoughtful touch. Two thumbs up for Levi, who truly does an outstanding job. Highly recommend!
Mckenzi is very reliable and well-loved by my four cats. I travel thousands of miles away but don't have to worry about my animals because they are in her hands. I have worked with Mckenzi for almost three years now and I really trust her with my pets. Thanks Mckenzi!
I hired Sara for a drop-in for my two cats and requested she also water my backyard vegetable garden. During the meet and greet my cats warmed to her quickly and I knew she would be great with them. She took notes on what to do and where to find things which gave me confidence in the service she would provide. On the day of the drop-in she was punctual and communicated when she arrived. She sent pictures, handled all the tasks to care for our cats with ease and went above and beyond to play with our two cats. I would hire Sara again and recommend her to others. Your fur babies would be in great hands. Thank you, Sara!
Jourdan went above and beyond, I had zero worries about my usually hard to work with dog (who got along fine with Jourdan, a miracle but no actually it was because my dog could tell Jourdan understood her behavior and knew how to be a friend) and 2 cats were very well cared for. Thank you so much, Jourdan!
