House Sitting Gateway West

About: I've taken care of my dogs, friends' dogs, and house-sat for dog owners. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday, and I’m fully available Thursday through Saturday. On those days, I can give your pet my full attention and focus on their care, routine, and needs. On Sunday through Wednesday, I am available before 8 am and after 8 pm. I provide dog sitting and dog walking with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine. I am comfortable with small dogs and large dogs who need a lot of exercise.

“We usually do drop ins for our kitties but did house sit this time and it worked out amazing! Jazmine is responsible, dependable, and communicative. We get a pretty detailed recap of the day and lots of videos and pictures. Of course the kitties loved it and housesit worked a lot better for my cat that picks at his food throughout the day. We didn’t have to worry at all. Ty Jazmine you are the best!!”

About: I have 4 kitties and 1 pup of my own. I have had no less than 3 cats my entire life, and am always helping the local strays as well, so I have loved cats of every type of personality and special need. I take my pup with me just about everywhere, so I have a lot of experience being out and about with a canine companion. My dog doesn't like other dogs, so I am also comfortable caring for pups that prefer not to be around other dogs. If you're looking to give your pup an extra special day out at a new park, I would love to bring them on an adventure! If your dog and/or cat is all about routine, I've got you. Playtime? I am so there! Or maybe your little one is a bit anxious and just wants some scratches and snuggles - I am here to make them feel safe and loved while you are away. <3 Whatever they need most, I am here to provide. I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and as such, I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I can be available whenever it is that you need me the most! I always have access to my own car, so even if you need your pup taken to an appointment or to their most special favorite park, I am happy to do so. If you're looking for someone to stay with your pet all day and/or night, everything I need to do my freelance work is portable, so I can give your little one all the attention they deserve. :) I am the master of catering to the needs of all different types of pet personalities, as I have 4 cats and 1 dog of my own, all very unique from one another. As such, I am able to cater the care I give to fit perfectly with your little one's needs and routines.

“Our first time booking a sitter for our 6-month-old Cavapoo and Michelle is awesome. Kept us updated on how he was doing throughout the night and even sent some pictures of him while we were away. Highly recommend.”

“The is was my first experience with Rover and leaving my Lulu with anyone and it was FANTASTIC! I could not have picked anyone better than Mooney! He treated Lulu like she was his own dog. Trips to the dog park, photo shoots, updates, Mooney was exceptional! It is such a relief to know that I have a great dogsitter now, who is easy to communicate with and loves Lulu as much as I do!”

Sarah H.

“Jenna is the best Rover sitter I've found! Sends regular updates, is super thoughtful and takes great care of my older pup. Trustworthy, reliable. Have used her before and will continue to book with her!”

“Katie was beyond amazing. She went up and beyond our expectations. She followed our rules with our babies. She fed them and took them in the backyard to play ball with them. Even took them on a few walks around the neighborhood. She kept updating me about them and sent me lots of pictures while we were away o”

“Patricia is a great communicator and was great with our two boys. She took great care of our home while we were away and we love the constant photos and updates. I would highly recommend Patricia and plan on having her back frequently.”

About: Hi there! I am a recent law school graduate currently studying for the bar exam. In addition to growing up with dogs, I also have experience dealing with reactive dogs. For a time I had a rescue dog, Judge, who struggled with aggression, leash reactivity, and general fear/anxiety. Training with him and learning from him made me extremely educated on dog safety, care, and proper protocols when out on walks to ensure a good time for everyone involved. I recently moved to Sacramento after graduating law school, and would love to walk your dog (and maybe even help with some training) while I am studying for the bar exam. Hope to hear from you! My study schedule for the bar is exam is flexible as it is a self-paced course. I normally go for a walk in the mornings before I start my day, but I am free any time to assist! I have a large SUV that I’m happy to take your dog along in for a little adventure! My favorite daily walks in Sac is along the American River and I’d love to bring a pup along. I am also happy to stay local to wherever you live and wherever your dog is most comfortable.

About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.

“We booked Cheryl for last minute peace-of-mind and it was everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. Our dogs were well looked after, and Cheryl took excellent care of our home.”

About: I’ve trained and cared for many dogs throughout my life, from agility training high energy puppies, to senior canine hospice. I’ve been a volunteer with the ASPCA since December of 2023 and have deployed to their cruelty recovery center in Ohio multiple times as a volunteer kennel technician. I currently work as a veterinary assistant at a small practice in Woodland, Ca I am currently working full time Tuesday-Friday 8am-5:30pm as a veterinary assistant, and Saturdays 8am to noon, so when I’m not at work, I love to spend my time giving your pet(s) the attention and structure that they deserve! I can stay overnight with your pet, or do daily check ins starting at 6 am. Any time I leave your pet unattended I will provide them with a safe form of enrichment to keep them busy.

“Sabrina was wonderful! She was very organized, communicative, and always on time. We felt completely comfortable having her in our home, and she even left it cleaner than when we left. She sent photos and videos that gave us peace of mind and showed how well our pets were being cared for. Leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, but with Sabrina we had no concerns at all. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“Jnaessa took loving care of my three critters (a needy dog and two cats). She gave them love and attention including extra attention to my fussy eater old lady cat to get her to eat. She sent me pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when I arrived home. I will definitely be booking Janessa again.”

Suzanne R.

“We had another great pet sitting experience with Holly. She is always so thoughtful and communicative, and our fur babies (2 cats, 1 dog) just love her. What a gift it is to be able to leave our pets and not have to worry about them. Holly makes it so that we can truly enjoy our vacations and not have to worry about what’s going on at home. Thank you for another awesome stay, Holly!”

Madison O.

“Mel did great with sitting our three dogs, including a ten month old puppy! She was very communicative and sent a ton of adorable pictures. They were very happy at the end of her stay, as were my partner and I. We can't wait to book with her again.”

Alexandra M.

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Not only did Kelcya and Elizabeth take fantastic care of our baby and kept us updated - they left an amazing snippet of Sookie’s behavior while we were gone. Already booking with them again!”

Stacie J.

“My husband and I trusted Chloe with our fur child while we made a trip home and we could not have asked for better care! She came for a visit to make sure she was a good fit with our doggo and to meet us, she sent so many photos (which we LOVED), and took the best care of Murphy!! Our doggo absolutely loved her and her company! Murphy is a big doggo with a lot of energy and she took on the challenge with ease. We appreciate her so much and look forward to utilizing her again in the future! Murph can’t wait for next time!!”

“We are very grateful to Cedric for taking care of our little dog when we needed help the most. It was a last-minute emergency, and they were incredibly helpful and understanding. Excellent care and great availability. We truly appreciate it and highly recommend them.”
