Alma is absolutely incredible! My two little chihuahuas are rescues, they are very protective of their home and me. Alma was amazing! She made them feel safe and loved and developed a bond very quickly. My cat couldn’t get enough of her. My fur babies are my life and Alma was the best! I never worried and they were so happy. She is such a great person and great with all animals! Hire Alma!!!

About: In my younger years I was known as that house you could trust your pets with, which sadly led to less boarding and daycare services and more abandonment of pets on my doorstep. I accepted each surrender because I always figured better here with me then on the streets. After successfully adopting out all these love bugs to people I knew and trusted over the years, I've found myself in smaller quarters. I've found comfort and fulfillment in caring for outdoor cats (commonly referred to as strays) Taking in an orange Tabby to call my own in the process. I've made friends with neighbors who share the same love and passion and through these connections found community - a cat community! I currently care for three cats (siblings), house-sitting as well while their human parents are away. Each individual cat has it's different wants/needs. Through these experiences I've learned gaining trust and love is different for each individual feline. I'm looking to expand my care/services to neighboring cat families mainly because I love cats and know how important it is to have a community of cat folks in your corner when duty, vacation or emergencies call. I'm currently employed by Uber Eats so I make my own schedule. I'm open to weekend care as well. The only thing I do religiously is cultural dancing on Wednesday nights. My current clients are all indoor kitties so I am used to securing the household, feeding on a schedule throughout the day and doing enrichment with them be that play or individual love and cuddle time. I prepare meals specific to each cats needs, keep litterboxes and surrounding areas clean and keeping water stations fresh.

Ava was very communicative and graciously stayed overnight to hang with my pups. She checked in and sent pictures of their time while I was away. Many thanks to her and would rebook.

I have asked Lance to babysit my big Doodle for me several times, and he never disappoints. He takes great care of my Teddy while I’m gone, and leaves my house in better condition than I left it. I never worry while Lance is taking care of my fur baby, and highly recommend him! Lori and Teddy

Jnaessa took loving care of my three critters (a needy dog and two cats). She gave them love and attention including extra attention to my fussy eater old lady cat to get her to eat. She sent me pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when I arrived home. I will definitely be booking Janessa again.

This was our first experience with Christina watching our 2 dogs. SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We have not had the best experiences in the past with pet sitters. Christina went above and beyond. We have a special needs Frenchie that requires eyes on him 24/7. Christina would set her alarm for 4:00am to make sure our pup was able to go outside to go potty. Our dogs came first and we are so grateful. She paid attention to every little detail and she made sure our dogs had the most safe and fun environment. You should definitely connect with her when you are in need of quality pet sitting. We are blessed and feel like she's a new member of the family!

Keishla took great care of my large dog and cats while I was away. She even won over the affection of my more skiddish kitten! From the meet and greet, through the end of the sit, Keishla was respectful, responsive, and professional. She spent plenty of time playing with the animals, kept the house clean, and sent several updates and pictures throughout the sit. I would happily book her again!

About: Hi I am David! I provide calm, reliable dog walking, pet sitting, and kitty care in East Sacramento, McKinley Village, and River Park. I believe pets do best with consistency, patience, and genuine affection, and I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. From neighborhood walks and drop-in visits to overnight care and litter box duty, I focus on making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is becoming a regular part of my weekly routine beginning May 18th. I’m structuring my schedule around dog walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and kitty care, primarily in East Sacramento, McKinley Village, and River Park. I intentionally keep my service area focused so I can provide reliable, consistent care and maintain flexibility for my clients’ needs. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment for pets, whether I’m caring for them in their home or mine. I follow each pet’s normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and quiet companionship. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets get exercise, attention, fresh water, and plenty of reassurance while their owners are away. For overnight or in-home care, I provide a structured morning and evening routine along with regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, from energetic dogs to shy or independent cats, and I always approach their care with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection.

Elisa took on a last-minute housesitting booking and did such a great job! She was so loving with my pup and gave her lots of exercise. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative overall, followed the instructions I left perfectly, and left the house very clean. I will absolutely plan on booking her again, including for drop-ins. Thank you Elisa!

Jacob was awesome. I needed a dog sitter for two large retrievers for a short out of town trip. Jacob was available and we set up a time to meet. Jacob was prompt and very professional. I was very comfortable with having him stay at my home with the dogs. During his stay, he was very communicative and sent lots of photographs. He didn’t mind my constant checking in from afar. My neighbors gave him their nod of approval. He treated my dogs like they were his own and that was much appreciated. They were very spoiled while under Jacob’s care. I would highly recommend Jacob. You won’t be disappointed. I look forward to having him return for future dog sitting.

Brandon was great! From the minute he introduced himself, Max treated him like he belonged there. Brandon knew what Max was doing when he pushed himsef through his legs and grabbed his wrist to take him somewhere. The dogs were relaxed when I came home, unlike their visit to the doggie hotel. Brandon is polite and responsible. I will reach out to him again when I travel.

Lance was an amazing help with Indy. He has very clear communication from the start, is a true animal lover, and is a professional caregiver. I greatly appreciated the pictures, videos, and updates throughout his stay with Indy. Lance should be your first call if you are in need of a caring pet sitter who will go above and beyond.
