Pet Sitting Gold River

About: I grew up with dogs, I'm 22, my last boy recently passed last year in the summer. Ever since I couldnt bring myself to get a new dog, not after him. But I do have a bunny that I rescued from a bunny shelter in the bay! I've showered, groomed, walked, etc dogs in the past. With my last boy, he had cancer so I guess you can say I have a bit of experience with following a oral medication administration schedule. I also did have a senior dog prior to him, that's all an experience. I had him when he was a pup so I did raise my boy and I think I did a pretty good job at it too. I currently work 3, irregular 12 hours shifts, the days are different every week. My school schedule is a bit more set. With that being said If I'm not working my 12 hr I'm available after 12 noon any day besides Saturday, currently. I do live with roommates in a spacious house with a yard. I don't think id be able to take in any doggies for boarding for long periods of time, maybe for the day but even then those are slim chances. For the times that I can, your pup will be surrounded with fun animals lovers that love to spoil and play with anything fluffy. We do have a cat and a bunny in the house but they are easy to keep away or be put in a different room of the house. I, personally, love a good walk on a trial and a good trip to the dog park. I'm all up for water activities, I don't mind washing your pup. Even a good stoll through the neighborhood and ending it with a movie and lots of cuddles. Indoor or outdoor, I can work with just about any activities or tasks.

“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.”

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals, and am happy to care for almost all furry friends and babies now. I cater to pet parents’ preferences and enjoy every second I get with a new animal friend. I work a 9-5. I have hybrid flexibility, so I can accommodate daytime drop ins on a case by case basis. Generally, I am available for drop ins any day of the week in the morning and evening. I can housesit too, and if I am given Wi-Fi access, I can also be with your pet during the day. I will feed your pet, administer medications, attend to litter box and other bathroom needs, replenish water, engage them in play, and check safety needs before I go. I will also take a photo or video at the time of my visit and send it to you if that is your preference. While house sitting, I will do all of the above and also adhere to any special routine you have for the pet and do minor house needs too, like taking the mail or watering plants.

“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: I’m an active, highly disciplined professional athlete with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My background in elite athletics means I have the stamina for long, engaging walks, active exercise, and rigorous attention to routine and safety. Whether your dog needs high energy cardio or a calm, structured stroll around the neighborhood, I prioritize their wellbeing, safety, and happiness every step of the way. I treat every pet with the same level of focus and care I bring to my daily training. As a full time athlete managing a flexible training schedule, I have structured availability for midday, early morning, and evening walks. Dog walking fits seamlessly into my active daily routine. I pride myself on prompt communication, strict punctuality, and flexibility to meet your schedule so you always have peace of mind while you're away or at work. Safety and accountability are my highest priorities. During walks or house visits, your dog will always be securely on leash, closely monitored, and kept safe from external hazards. I pay close attention to heat, hydration, and body language to ensure your pet stays comfortable throughout our time together. I follow all home entry instructions meticulously and provide regular photo updates after every walk so you know your pet is safe, secure, and well cared for.

“Michael was timely, communicative, and very accommodating for my last second schedule change. I would definitely trust him with my pets again!”

“She was reliable for some of the agreed days, and although we talked about a long term arrangement, things changed on her end, so now I am needing to find someone else.”

“Whitney went the extra mile in her care for our cat, Tigger. He was happy I could tell because Whitney took a video of him every time she came and a picture when she left. It felt that he is while I was away and will definitely have Whitney back. 😻”

About: Hello there! My name is Brenda and I am new to the Greater Sacramento area. Before moving to Rancho Cordova I volunteered at the Inland Valley Humane Society and SPCA. I've always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets and helping care for family and friends' pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks. I'm naturally very patient and attentive with animals, and I genuinely enjoy to know their personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers to relax and cuddle, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or boarding — mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I may eventually pick up part-time work, but even then I’d still have consistent time set aside for pet care. There’s also a park right across the street from my apartment, so daily walks and playtime are easy to build into the routine. I enjoy having a reason to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits fit really naturally into my day. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need rather than feeling like they're just being checked off my list. Your pets safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I always want pets to feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I live in an apartment with two cats of my own so I don’t currently have dogs at home — just a calm, clean space I keep consistent for any pet staying with me. My cats are used to visitors and generally easygoing, but I’m happy to talk through introductions ahead of time if that matters for your pet. There’s a park directly across the street, which makes it easy to get dogs outside for exercise multiple times a day. I'm respectful of your home, your pet's normal routine. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions when needed, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual with your pet. Most importantly, I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll treat them with the same patience and care I could want for my own.

“Michelle stayed in direct contact during our trip overseas and cared for our cat Cheetah, in home, exceedingly well. Did everything perfect without direction and even checked in on her off day. Thanks!!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. Throughout high school and college, I regularly dog- and cat-sat for friends, neighbors, and friends of friends, caring for pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and routines. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand a pet's body language and cues. Every animal communicates differently, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I adapt my care to what they need. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else's care. Because of that, I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and consistency while you're away. My goal is not only to make your pet feel happy and secure but also to give you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands! I recently moved back home after spending 10 months living in Madrid, and I currently work part-time remotely. Because of my flexible schedule, I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's daytime walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or keeping your pet company throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I'm committed to being reliable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to recognize when a pet is relaxed, excited, or anxious. Whether we're going for walks, playing, feeding, or just relaxing together, I strive to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved. I also understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful for both you and your pet. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and in good hands!!

“Alexandrea dropped in on our 2 big black labs for 3 days while we were traveling. She was always on time and very responsive. I had to add another drop in at the last minute and she was able to help us! I'm very grateful for her hard work and would be happy to use her again.”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life, mostly rescued all of my dogs. I have volunteered for dog and cat rescues including Rocket Dog Rescue in San Francisco. I volunteered for SPCA for over 10 years. I also have fostered many dogs and volunteered for dog shelters to be able to walk dogs. I started walking dogs in college over 20 years ago on the side. I have worked for Honeys Heart in San Francisco where I helped with boarding, training, cleaning and feeding dogs as well as taking care and walking dogs. Of course tons of belly rubs and play time! I have fostered puppies as well as adult seniors. Some dogs I fostered for weeks to months until I found a loving home. I absolutely love and care for animals and I’m always excited to be part of their lives. I I feel that all animals need to have unconditional love and care and complete trust and respect. “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened”- Anatole. I am open to any schedule full-time Monday through Sunday. AM/PM I have complete open availability to care to your fur baby. I can do multiple walks a day or take your dog to my local dog park. I have a fenced yard and a small friendly dog in a tucked away, safe neighborhood in fair Oaks. I can do daily walks as well as crate train. I give all of my attention and care and can cater to every and any need.

About: ​I have over eight years of dedicated hands-on experience, having cared for pets of all ages and backgrounds since I was 12 years old. Growing up surrounding myself with animals and pet care taught me how to read animal body language, build fast trust, and adapt to each animal's unique personality. ​My current schedule allows me to offer excellent flexibility and dedicated time for pet care. I work part-time at my church, which leaves me with plenty of open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. ​Following Their Routine: I stick strictly to the daily schedule you set for feeding, exercise, play, and bedtime. Keeping their normal routine minimizes stress while you are away. ​Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total respect, keeping common areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring everything is left exactly as you left it. ​Constant Updates & Photos: You will receive regular check-ins, photos, and updates during every visit or overnight stay so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Animals are an important part of my life; from rabbits to horses and ducks to dogs. Currently, I live with a quirky, dapper, gentleman dog; and beautiful, liberated, lady cat. They have a great, lovingly antagonistic sibling relationship. My son's dog has epilepsy and some separation anxiety that requires extra gentle support at times. Our cat has an independent, outdoor space that doesn't affect my dander allergy. Because of that, I am able to provide only drop in care for cat(s) to service food, water and litter. My primary focus is to care for dogs. I enjoy discovering each personality. Please use this Promo Code for a discount on your first booking: BONNIH20661 I am available during the week for drop ins while going to school and working on independent projects. Ideally, I am available for housesitting and to keep your pet (and plants?) company and cared for in their familiar environment. I am respectful, detail oriented and have several years of experience with pets and household. Please disclose all special needs, habits and behaviors that I can expect from your pet so that I can be prepared to provide excellent care. Hope to meet with you and your pet at a Meet & Greet!

About: Bare minimum care for animals is not accepted in my house. I only offer the absolute best I can give for every furry friend. I've owned and cared for almost every category of critter you can come up with (Birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, cats, dogs, etc.!) Almost all my passions revolve around animals and always have, I spend most of my time helping people with their own pets when I'm not caring for mine. I also am starting out in dog training and have two years experience with a few types of canine training. My own dog is an exceptionally trained GSD that's helped this journey. Along with that, I have been helping with rehabilitating and releasing wild animals in need for almost three years. I am very passionate about rescues and almost all my animals are rescued by either shelters, brought to me, or found by me. I hope to build a career in helping people and their animals in every way I possibly can ❤ I'm currently gaining experience for dog training and I help with wild animal rehabilitation along with shelter work. I'm free most days of the week since I'm able to choose my working hours. For drop in visits I follow pet owner instructions exactly to ensure every pet has their needs met. I offer the most exceptional care that I possibly can for each animal and am capable of caring for just about any pet. Senior, challenged, puppy, untrained, none are challenging for me. 💕

“My wife and I are grateful to Barbara for dropping in on our cats on short notice. In addition to being accommodating, her pictures made it clear that she was very attentive to our cats during her visits.”

“Lacee was great. She followed our instructions. She sent daily checks ins and pictures. You can see she gave our cat lots of attention and love. She was awesome at communicating with us which was a big plus I always knew what was going on.”
