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.

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!

About: I have owned and taken care of all types of animals almost my whole life. I currently have 2 dogs, 4 cats, a bearded dragon, and a leopard gecko. I have attended puppy training classes and I have experience in raising a puppy of my own. I also have experience in bathing, playing in the pool, walks, feeding time and administering oral medication. Currently I am a college student at San Jose State University, however I am home for the summer with lots of free time! I am looking to make some extra money on the side to help cover college expenses. Just like at my home, safety is my number 1 priority. Doors are locked and shut at all times so no pets can be an escape artist. Make sure to check water levels and fill it if needed, and make sure to keep them on a consistent feeding schedule. While in the home, I will be spending lots of time outdoors with them when the weather allows and make sure they are going to the bathroom to avoid accidents. As with all pets, I make sure to give them lots of love and treat them like they are my own babies.

About: Hi, my name is Jacky! 👋🏽 I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter who truly treats every pet like my own. I’ve fostered dogs in the past, which means I’m comfortable working with a wide range of personalities—including shy, energetic, or more sensitive pups who need extra patience and care. 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. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always provide updates, photos, and clear communication for peace of mind. 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. I provide safe, structured care with extra crates and a friendly, energetic Shiba/Husky to help burn energy and be a playful companion. In clients’ homes, I follow routines closely and give updates.

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!

Mindi did such a wonderful job of making sure my cat was well-cared for while I was gone. He gets really anxious when I’m away, and I could tell that she did a great job playing with him because he was calmer than normal once I came back. She also made sure he had water and a clean litter box everyday. I really recommend Mindi if you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet!

From the very first visit, I knew my four cats were in the best hands. Anita has this incredible way of putting you at ease; she jumped right in, effortlessly managing their individual diets and medications. It was amazing to see my usually shy cats instantly warm up to her! The daily updates and photos were the highlight of my day, and her communication is top-notch. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely dedicated to providing such loving care. Anita is officially my go-to sitter!

We had a wonderful experience with Aliya! She did an excellent job with our cats and respected their boundaries, which we really appreciated since they are very shy. She gave them the space they needed while still making sure they were well cared for. Her communication was outstanding. She kept us updated about everything and responded very quickly to messages, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, attentive sitter.
