“Charlene was great. She sat both our dog and cat at our home and we were very happy with things went. She was very communicative and left the place in great condition, and both Finn and Rey were well loved. We would use Charlene again.”


About: I have primarily cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from Yorkies and Boston Terriers to Huskies and Labradors, from puppies to senior dogs. I am very active myself and am happy to walk or run with your dogs as I know some breeds especially need daily activity. I work remotely, making me very available to tend to all of your pet’s daily needs and activities! My workday is quite flexible, allowing for time for runs, walks, potty breaks, or playing outside or inside. I am most comfortable caring for your pets within your home. I have a dog of my own but he will be able to stay home with family, allowing me to focus entirely on your pets!

“Gabriella takes such great care of our pups! They get so excited to see her every time. She is great at giving me updates on how they're doing, and she is always on time. Thank you Gabriella!”



“Jessie came to our house prior to leaving her with Roscoe. She was thorough meaning she asked questions. She had a notebook and took notes. I felt she was a very warm and genuine person. Roscoe took to her right away. When Jessie came to the house for the stay, Roscoe went right up to her in greeting. We left her with information about Roscoe as well as other important information and reviewed with Jessie. We left and within a couple of hours received pictures of Roscoe. We were gone for two days but received a few pictures and updates. What I really appreciated was that she was glad that we texted her to let her know that we made it home. We were running late and told her it was okay to leave but she wanted to make sure we got home. Last couple of things, our house was immaculate. We have house sitters before, but this was the first time I could say that. Also, Roscoe seemed very happy and didn't seem out of sorts. We will definitely use Jessie again.”


“Jef is reliable and professional. I fully trust him to care for my home and animals. He house sit me for multiple weeks and took care of my cats, (difficult to manage) giant breed pup and kept our bird feeders full. He left my home clean clearly took excellent care of my dog, who requires quite a lot of exercise.”


“Taylor was an amazing house and pet sitter! She took great care of our 2 pets Mia (miniature poodle) and Gracie (Fox wire hair terrier). The girls loved her as she took them for walks, cuddle with them, played with them and gave them treats. Taylor even left the house cleaner than we left it. I would definitely book Taylor again! Thank you Taylor!”


About: Hi there! I’m Aaralyn and have always been a lifelong animal lover. I would be more than happy to provide the help you need caring for your animals— whether it is just a few hours during the day or for a week! I am here to ensure your animals will be given the best care. To do this I will give your pets daily walks, enrichment activities and promise to treat your animals as if they are my own. I also love keeping you updated with photos so you can stay connected with your pets while you're gone! To let you know a little about me, I am currently a UC Davis student and am looking to spend my time over the summer with some sweet animals! I have plenty of experience with many different animal such dogs, cats, and more. I know how to care for a range of pets as I have cared for senior animals and special needs animals before. I myself have a pup who needs medication every morning and night which come with side effects such as increase in thirst, hunger, and hyperactivity. So, I am well immersed with dogs that may require a little more maintenance. For house sitting, I’d love to meet your animals beforehand so they know who I am first and feel more comfortable when stay in their home for a prolonged period of time. What works best for me is a small yet informational note outlining your pets daily routine— things like when they eat breakfast/lunch/dinner, how much they eat, how often you would like them to be walked, where they go or what they do while I am out of the house, and anything else you feel is necessary. This lets me get an idea of what the animals needs/wants while I am there. This allows me to maintain a comfortable environment for them in hope to reduce any possible stress. For drop in visits: Usually I stay for about an hour and half per drop in visit but if more time is needed or requested that is not a problem! During that time, I will go on walks, engage in different activities with them, and check on food/water too. Also, while I am there if there is any other house maintenance that needs to be done such as skimming the pool or checking the mail let me know! I am happy to however I can. Overall, I hope to hear from you and meet all your pets soon! This summer, I do plan on working, likely part-time, so I will have lots of time to spend time with your animals and taking them on walks or other ways to exert energy! To keep the animals as comfortable as possible with a new person in their home I try to stick to a similar routine that they are used to.

“Kimberleigh was our guardian angel for a last minute booking. Our tiny puppy loved her and she was so patient with his teething and menacing behavior. Thank you, Kimberleigh, I hope you can watch Rambo again for us in the future.”


About: I grew up with all sorts of animals. I’ve been pet/house sitting since I was 18 (31 now). I provide a loving and caring environment for your fur babies! Lots of love and treats. Able to give medication to your babies or stay with strict diets. Whatever your pet needs I can do :) I just moved to the area and haven’t found a job yet so my availability is 24/7 :) available for last minute trips or ones planned months in advance I have a border collie about to be 8 years old. We currently live in a travel trailer but he gets multiple walks and play time through out the day. He gets two meals a day and a never empty water bowl and lots of treats! And he loves making new furry friends wherever he goes

“Rebekah was a fabulous dog sitter for us! She was very kind and trustworthy. She always made sure to update me and send me pictures of my little Lucy. We will definitely be using her again in the future ?”

About: I am a dog owner, looking to care for other dogs at my home! I have a very playful 2year old Labrador who would love to have company. Two is better than one. My wife and I would take care and keep an eye on your fur babies when you’re out for travel, short trips, vacaciones holidays or others occasions. I have a fenced yard for play and potty time. I also have a full house so you dog would never be alone because I work from home and so does my wife. We let our dogs roam free in the house.


About: I have 10yrs experience and a ton of love and time for your four legged family member.

“Carissa did an amazing job caring for our dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She sent regular updates and pics and videos. I didn’t worry one bit while we were gone. She had hands full since he of our dogs is still a puppy and she handled everything so well. We will definitely have her stay with our fur babies again. Thank you, Carissa!!”
