“We have SO much peace of mind when Donna is watching our kitties while we’re away. She is thorough, detail oriented, and always lets us know exactly what’s going on. She really cares about our cats. We love Donna and trust her wholeheartedly!”
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was ten years old. I have experience walking, assisting in training, and entertaining super high energy dogs! I currently work online and take online classes and so I have a very flexible schedule and I can adjust to what your pup needs! I understand your pet is your fur baby! I look forward to adjusting to whatever your needs are and making sure your pet has a fun, safe time!
“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.”
“Ashlin took good care of our cat while we went on vacation. We received pictures every visit and felt confident she was in good hands. She was thorough with good questions during the meet and greet. We will be using her services in the future.”
“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.”
About: I love all animals! I grew up with dogs and cats and learned how to care for them from a very young age. There was never a time when we did not have a pet in the house. With 20+ years of experience up my sleeve, I know that I have the skills to care for your precious fur baby/babies. I am a full time student, so I'm available to care for your pets after my classes. I am available: Sunday from 8am to 9pm Monday 6pm to 9pm Tuesday 6pm to 9pm Wednesday from 8am to 9pm Thursday from 6pm to 9pm and Friday from 8am to 6pm. My availability will open up beginning June 11th! I can feed your pets at their scheduled meal times if they have it, take them on walks or runs, and give them a simple groom with a comb/brush and clean their ears if requested. I can play with them and have them do commands and tricks if they know them. Happy pets make me happy too!
“Mariah did an amazing job taking care of our kitties! She was very professional and made sure to follow all our instructions to the letter AND one our cats was sick and she provided the medicine as well. We are very happy with her services and we will use her again!”
“Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!”
“To all my travel nurses/healthcare professions in the STL area, Sydney is your go-to-person for your pet. 👏🏼 Her care, communication, and compassion is 5 star. She’s truly someone you can trust with your pet and someone you can trust in your home.”
About: I grew up with animals on a farm and have always had a dog or cat in my home. We love our pets and treat them as family. I am home most of the day so providing one on one are won’t be a problem! I have a very flexible schedule! I am home everyday of the week and can make frequent trips if needed. I offer same day cancellation but do need a couple days notice to make sure I am not out of town. My dog is walked twice a day everyday and we have a fenced backyard. We also have cats that have free time of the house and outside and are very friendly with our dog. Our dog has a bed in just about every room and is allowed to get on one of our couches (however often tries sneaking onto the other one).
About: We've always had dogs and cats (and more!) of all sizes in my family. From chihuahuas to our pibble, and I took over caring for our pets as a teen, then started professionally caring for critters after graduating high school. I'm happy to bathe, brush, cuddle, feed, medicate, train, and walk your fur babes, and take darling pics of them for you! I'm new to the Sac area, so I'm building a routine and am extremely flexible at the moment. Updates to come but for now my calendar is open! I'm experienced in sitting dogs that are crate trained as well as not, whatever makes them feel the most comfortable while their person is missing.
“Derek & Leslie were absolutely wonderful with Moose. Leslie sent photos daily, and it was obvious how happy my dog was. I came home to a very happy household and will certainly ask them to visit with Moose and my cat again. Top notch.”

About: Hi there, I’m Rose (my profile says Maddison which is my first name, but I go by my middle name “Rose” to clear up any confusion)! Let’s see… I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and had the privilege of caring for my own senior pup until she was 17 years old. That experience taught me so much about patience, understanding and the special care older dogs require. Since 2014, I’ve been independently providing reliable, loving care to dogs, always ensuring they feel safe, respected and deeply loved. Whether it’s gentle walks, meal time, or just companionship, I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. I offer flexible availability to meet your pet care needs! On weekdays, I’m available from 8:30pm to 10:30pm for evening care. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, my schedule opens up from 1pm to 7pm , making it perfect for daytime visits and extended care. Additionally, I’m happy to provide overnight sitting from Friday evenings to Sunday afternoons, ensuring your pets are well cared for and comfortable while you’re away. I’m here to help! Safety is always my top priority when caring for your pets. I keep dogs on a leash at all times during walks to ensure they stay secure and under control. I’m also experienced in recognizing and de-escalating tense situations, whether it’s encountering other animals or navigating busy environments. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always take precautions to keep them out of harm’s way.

Donna is a fantastic pet sitter and friend to animals! She helped me pill my cat Lucy, who is notoriously uncooperative when it comes to taking her medicine. For the first time in Lucy's life, we managed to get a pill down her throat. Goodbye, tapeworms, yaaay! Thank you so much, Donna!
Malarie was awesome. She came out of her shell at to get the details about my pets care. I was worried about finding a babysitter for my iguana and how he was going to get his fresh veggies and Malarie save the day! She took great care of my senior cat and my iguana while I was away. I would definitely hire her again.
I can't say enough great things about Johnna! She was incredibly patient, kind, and diligent in following my instructions. My dogs are quite shy and tend to be difficult with new people, but she managed to connect with them in a way that I've never seen before. She even found a way to play fetch with them, bringing out their playful sides and building a bond that I thought would take much longer. Her wonderful approach made a world of difference in their comfort levels. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and skilled dog sitter!
STOP SCROLLING! We’ve had numerous sitters for our three (somewhat challenging/unique) dogs over the past decade+, and Annie (Nancy) is easily the best. Beyond being responsive to outreach and thorough with updates, she is unbelievably kind and well-suited for caring for others’ pets. Our dogs adore her, and she is the first sitter with whom I have felt 100% comfortable regarding one of our dog’s special history/needs. Annie is a good listener and a responsible steward—the type of sitter to charge an exceedingly reasonable amount and then show up for extra long visits with her own treats for the pups in hand. She clearly has a true love of animals, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Do your pets (and your peace of mind) a favor and book Annie!
Amanda was wonderful with our kitties as usual. Both warmed up to her without any issues (even our very wary cat). Amanda went out of her way to ensure cleanliness and safety, while sending us great photos and videos of our little ones while we were overseas, which we found very comforting. We came back home to very happy kitties and will certainly have Amanda again as our cat sitter!
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.
There are not enough words to describe how great Alyssa and Kyle are. They went above and beyond for our dogs. They are so knowledgeable and kind. They had wonderful communication and they are easy to work with. We would give them 10 stars if we could! Truly an amazing experience and amazing individuals!
Nadiia was great! We loved her in our greet and meet. She took the time to get to know our doggies. Took them for a short walk. She did a great job at communicating with us when she came to check on our doggies. Very happy with her and will definitely use her again. Thank you Nadiia.
