About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had cats and dogs of all types since I was a kid. I have experience with a range of dogs from puppies, to seniors, to dogs with disabilities. I currently have three cats and a dog with my partner. I am comfortable with administering oral medications. I am currently not working and hoping to make a daily routine of pet care. I have full availability and am able to accommodate any needs your pet may have. Trust and safety between pet parents and I is vital to me. I take care in keeping people's pets and homes safe, and I am prepared to treat your pets and home with the utmost care.

Brandi has been great for daily drop-ins with my German Shepherd. I was nervous about having a sitter stop by because he is hesitant with new people and is still working on training, but he really likes Brandi and she is able to handle him. I appreciate Brandi communicates any changes to the time she is dropping by, if there are any issues, and always sends me a photo.

I was gone for a week for a family reunion/vacation out of state. It was super hot, so I was worried about my Halley. Came home to a friendly, energetic, and well-hydrated cat. Apparently, Halley also requested lots of head rubs, so she warmed up to Madison pretty well. So happy I found someone I can trust with my fur baby.

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! 😃

I cannot say enough about Amanda’s exceptional care for my four cats. Over the years, I’ve hired many pet sitters, and she is by far the best I’ve ever had. Her attentiveness and compassion made it so much easier for me to be away, giving me true peace of mind. Not only did she provide outstanding care for my cats, but she also went above and beyond by feeding the stray animals who rely on me for daily meals, as well as keeping my backyard squirrels and birds well-fed. She even collected my mail and kept in regular contact with updates, reassuring words, and adorable photos. Amanda is simply the BEST—reliable, thoughtful, and truly devoted. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

About: I have always been around animals my whole life. I got my first dog at 11, and he’s still around and is the love of my life. I’m currently enrolled in college and only working part time, so I’m looking to see if I can help others out like how they’ve helped me. I will feed your pets, take them out or let them use the restroom, I will love and give them as much attention as possible.

About: I am a professional, certified dog trainer and I want to bring my skills and passion for pet care to your aid. I have 15 years professional experience working with dogs and 12 years of training under my belt (mostly positive training, no force or intimidation!) I can drop in for potty breaks, or feed and water your pup. I can administer medications and change bandages as I have been trained to do. On walks we can head to the Janesville dog park for the trails or stroll around town depending on your location. If your dog is safe off leash we can even throw in a game of fetch for added running benefits! I can care for more than just dogs, too! I have experience with numerous exotic pets (snakes, lizards, rats, rabbits, and much more!) as well as horses and other farm critters! Chickens, pigs, and others. If you need pet care for your non-dog or cat animals contact me! I will pet sit small caged animals in my home. I will provide photos during my time with your pooch as well, so you can see how their doing and know they are safe and happy! Please NO retractable leashes! If you do not have a standard 4 or 6 foot leash I will use my own to walk your pup! Let me care for your dog when you can't - feed and water, medications, or just cuddles. I'm here to help you, help your pet. Pet Sitting is my only and primary income source and I book up fast! Schedule me sooner rather than later to get the spots you need. Dogs are let out to potty in the location you choose. I will clean up any mess they may have left, especially puppies. I can also give medications or clean cages of small animals. For farm animals, I will feed, water, and can give medicine.

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 from the end of June through early September. 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!

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.

Jax was terrific! She showed up on time, did exactly as I asked (her medical training is sure coming in handy!!), and the boys really seem to like her. I arrived home and there were no issues at all. I am very thankful I found her!
