About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for years through friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, long walks, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize safety, cleanliness, and consistency in their routine. I run my own business, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and plan my days intentionally. This gives me the ability to prioritize pet care, drop-in visits, and walks consistently. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and weekends with advance notice, and I always communicate clearly about availability. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I prioritize safety by ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I respect your home, keep spaces clean, and provide updates with photos so you feel comfortable and informed while you’re away.

Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃

Amanda was excellent with my kitties again. Her attention to all the details of the house while she was present is amazing. She has continuously provided top notch service going above and beyond just taking care of the kitties, with keeping an eye on the house as a whole.

Medea is now our go-to person to help us with our pups. Her love for animals shines through and she demonstrate such kindness and patience. Medea did great with our reactive border collie and now we feel at peace knowing that she can check in on our active dogs while we are at work. Highly recommend and so glad to have found her!

In my care, pets are not just watched. They are loved, respected, and treated like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and structured environment where every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm and loving environment.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 15. Over the years, we’ve provided both professional pet sitting and helped out friends and family—whether for short getaways or extended vacations. I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom and an animal lover! 🐾 My husband and I offer boarding for most dog sizes, and our home is always filled with love, play, and plenty of tail wags. We live on about 3 acres in beautiful El Dorado Hills, complete with a creek and a securely fenced portion of the yard where dogs can run freely, play fetch, splash in the water, or simply enjoy the fresh air. This setup gives your pup plenty of outdoor time in a safe and natural environment. We have two friendly, medium-sized dogs of our own—Mochi, a 4-year-old Golden Retriever, and Mila, a 2-year-old Goldendoodle. Both are fixed, gentle, and love having other dogs around. They enjoy playdates, cuddles, and are wonderful with our children (ages 17, 8, and 6). Our dogs are indoor dogs and have the run of our hardwood-floored downstairs. We use baby gates to separate carpeted areas, and there’s a designated, cozy sleeping space for your pup. Dogs are always supervised, both inside and out. We’re home full time, so your dog will get constant care, attention, and love. We’re also flexible—we understand that plans can change, and we’re happy to work with you to adjust as needed. We welcome dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. Whether your pup loves fetch, water play, or just lounging, we’re here to make sure they have a fun, safe, and loving stay. If your dog has any special needs or preferences, please let us know—we’re always happy to accommodate! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! 🐶 Sample Daily Dog Schedule Please note: Our schedule is flexible and may vary based on each pup’s individual needs, age, energy level, and weather. We provide a relaxed, at-home environment—very different from a traditional kennel. Morning • Wake-Up: Between 4:30–7:00 AM, depending on the dogs • First Potty & Play: Supervised outdoor time (weather permitting). Dogs are never left outside unattended. • Breakfast: Between 6:30–8:00 AM • Post-Breakfast Potty: About 30 minutes after eating Midday • Nap Time / Free Play: Dogs are encouraged to rest or enjoy calm indoor play. Puppies often nap more frequently. • Potty Breaks: Puppies are let out every 1–2 hours; adult dogs follow a more typical schedule Afternoon • Stimulation & Play Time: Between 3:00–5:00 PM we do light training, enrichment activities, or interactive play Evening • Dinner: Around 6:00–7:30 PM • Post-Dinner Potty: About 30 minutes after meals • Final Potty & Play: Between 8:30–9:30 PM • Tuck-In Time: After the final potty break, dogs settle in for the night ⸻ We focus on keeping dogs happy, active, and well cared for in a loving home environment. Our daily rhythm is built around play, rest, and affection—not rigid routines or cages. We have a fully fenced yard—about a quarter acre or more—where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Our own pups are friendly, social, and love to wrestle, chase, and relax with other dogs. Because we provide a relaxed, home-based environment, we do not accept aggressive or overly reactive dogs. We carefully assess each dog’s temperament to ensure they’re a good fit for our home, our dogs, and our young children (ages, 8, and 6). Our kids are very comfortable around dogs and have been taught how to behave respectfully and gently with animals of all sizes and temperaments. Our top priority is maintaining a safe, happy, and stress-free space for every pup who stays with us.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 12 years old. I love meeting new dogs! I don’t have any of my own but love them all as if they were. I do work full time but I am home often. I have lots of free time on nights and weekends that I am available for walking or sitting. I have a large backyard and open home. I am very cautious about leaving things out and making sure to have a clean home. All visiting dogs are allowed on sofa and beds as I do watch family and friends pets in the home.

About: I have been an avid animal lover since birth!! I have a wide range of experience with animal care-taking. I have babysat a farm, volunteered at shelters, and have had my own pets. I have had large German Shepherds who I have practiced training. I have managed troublesome groups and have had to del with ensuring dogs are separate for behavioral reasons. Whatever your needs, I promise I may have already done! I am able to drop-in early mornings, but will do most walking/care after 12pm some weekdays due to school. I volunteer at the Prairie land conservancy, so some random times I may be busy, but I promise for good reason!! I am available most weekends. Your pet’s safety is really important to me. I make sure they’re always supervised and comfortable. I follow instructions closely, including feeding times, walks, crate routines, and any medications.

About: I grew up in a family that always had dogs, ranging from small dogs (like Chihuahuas) to big dogs (like German Wirehairs). As a child, I took on dog training experience through my local 4-H group and pursued that for a large portion of my early education career. Since then, I have always been a lover of dogs and have taken on many responsibilities, not only for my family dogs, but for my roommate’s dogs as well. Any care and love your dog needs, I would be happy to provide it! I’m available for pet care during the week and on weekends. Whether you need drop-in visits or overnight home stays, I’m happy to help, just please be sure to book in advance so I can plan accordingly! I kindly ask for at least one day’s notice for cancellations. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Please note: I do not offer dog care in my own home as I live in an apartment. However, I’m happy to provide in-home care at your residence for both dogs and cats! For dogs, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, including regular walks, outdoor playtime (at a nearby dog park or fenced yard), and bathroom breaks every 30–60 minutes based on their needs. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and comfortable. For cats, I offer attentive and respectful care, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and affection (if your cat is the cuddly type!). I understand feline behavior and know how to give them the space or snuggles they prefer. Whatever your pet needs, I’m here to help while keeping their routine as stress-free as possible!
