Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Gateway West

“Mindi was wonderful with Odin! She stopped by for a drop-in visit, gave him a nice walk, and made sure he was well cared for. I could tell he was happy and comfortable after their time together. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Jazmine was great, she took great care of our cats one of which is very timid and she was eventually able to play with her which we were amazed by. Took care of the plants in the house and kept the litter box and house clean when any little messes were made, couldn't recommend her more”

“Outstanding pet sitters! They went above and beyond to care for my cats—ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, and a clean environment. They gave the beasts plenty of love, attention, and brushing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets.”

About: I share my home with two animals: Merlot (my 14-year-old dog) and Meleys (my 2-year-old cat). I’ve always grown up with animals and truly can’t imagine life without them—if I had the space, I’d probably have 10 more! I work from home about half the week, which means I’m able to spend plenty of time giving your pet attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Both of my pets are friendly and welcoming to dogs of all sizes. Merlot is more laid-back in his older age and spends most of his time relaxing, while Meleys is comfortable around friendly animals but also has her own quiet space if she prefers some distance. We also have a fenced-in dog park within my complex, perfect for safe playtime, fetch, and burning off energy—especially during the cooler mornings and evenings. Your dog will be treated like part of the family here! Pets are welcome on the furniture, and if they’re used to sleeping in bed, they’re more than welcome to join us. I also have crates available if your dog prefers or is accustomed to crate sleeping. I work part-time from home and set my own schedule, so your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m home all day on Mondays and Fridays, which allows for consistent care and companionship. I’m also available Tuesday through Thursday, though I work in-office in Elk Grove from 6am–2pm. On those days, I can stop home on my lunch break for a potty break and check-in, as long as your pup is comfortable being home alone for a few hours in between. I’m happy to walk your dog alongside mine or separately—whatever best suits their needs and comfort level. I care for pets as if they’re my own, tailoring everything to their routine and comfort level. I work part-time from home (and fully remote Mondays and Fridays), so pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. In my home, dogs enjoy access to a fenced-in dog park for exercise and nearby park walks. Pets are welcome on furniture and the bed if allowed, and I can also accommodate crate routines. For cats, I offer both social integration or a completely separate, quiet space if preferred. I’ve set up a private guest room and bathroom in the past with litter, food, and water to help cats feel safe and adjust at their own pace.

About: I grew up on a farm and have a lot of experience with a wide variety of animals, from big to small and all different energy levels. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your animal, especially when you don’t have family around to help out, and I would be happy to be that person for you. Throughout the weekdays I am able to let pets out in the morning before work and then again around 4-6 pm and finally around 8-9pm before bed. I love to spend time with your pets playing, going on long walks, and am able to help with simple training and administer medications if needed.

“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”

“Erin was reliable and took extra care to look for an clean up when my kitties left little "presents". I plan to continue hiring Erin for future trips.”

Heather B.

“had a great experience working with Shang over a two week period. She walked and fed my dogs with so much care and reliability. I even had an “oops” moment where I mistakenly thought a day was booked when it wasn’t, and she was incredibly gracious and understanding when I reached out. Once we sorted out my mistake, she confirmed the remaining days and everything went smoothly. I truly appreciate her professionalism, kindness, and flexibility. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

At home, I have three dogs—a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix, a Poodle/Maltese mix, and a Shiba/Husky mix—so I’m very familiar with different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or just relaxing and cuddling, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

My goal is to make your time away stress-free—for both you and your pet! I maintain a consistent routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I do work, but I plan my schedule to ensure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care, along with regular updates.

About: I’ve been watching pets of all sorts for the last 10 years from dogs and cats to chickens and ducks. I love animals and want to continue to work them! I’ve also owned dogs and cats in the past so I’ve had a lot of experience with them. I work part time as a nanny (8:45am-12:45) but I’m free anytime before that and in the afternoon I am also free. I also love going on walks and would love to take a buddy along the way. To insure your pets safety I will make sure they are properly secured however is needed before heading out this can include but not limited to creating or locking fences.

“Samantha was fantastic! My cat seemed to really enjoy hanging with her and she was very responsive and a great photographer too. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Lexxie watched our kitty for 14 days during our trip to Spain. She was professional, attentive, and took care of Sally as if it was her own pet. Sally can be an high maintenance floof, but Lexxie handled her with ease. She was respectful to us, our house, and of course "Queen" Sally. Thank you so much for everything. We hope to have you again on our next trip!”
