About: I have a unique background with horses, farm animals, and dogs that want to walk all day in the forest. I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life. I have fostered kittens, boarded cats, and stayed with dogs up to 200 pounds. I am available overnight for weekends, nights, and extended periods between Nevada County and Placer County. I usually stay a week or more with fur babies. You can relax knowing I am keeping the utmost care and safety of your animals and home. I want to clarify during our visit if you need care at the 2-hour, 4-hour, or 6-hour interval beyond the overnight stay of 7 pm to 7am. I am currently available most days and nights due to my online graduate program. Communication is key! I will send daily pictures or updates. For best prevention, talking about the details with the owner and ground rules produces the best results. Topics will include where the pet feels most comfortable such a calm spaces or crating procedures. I make sure to go over emergency contacts and preferred clinics. Also, I keep a clean environment that ensures the safety of pets for food handling.

“Super sweet with my older pup. I booked for a walk, and she noticed my old girl was slowing down so she brought her inside early and gave her belly rubs. We was super responsive and punctual. Would 100% book again and recommend Sage!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Any kind from a Chihuahua to a Bull Mastiff, young or old, my own or a friend's. I believe they need as much care, love and attention as we all do and I am definitely willing to prove that! I will make sure your furry friend is satisfied while you are gone! I know it's important to have rules and if there are any specifications, I will be sure to follow them and keep your dog happy and safe. When they are under my care, I will treat them as I do my own-that's a promise! My schedule changes due to personal reasons, but for the most part, I'm free to pet sit most days and nights! You can contact me any hour through the night because I completely understand last minute changes/needs. I will follow anything your pet care list requires. I can always send updated pictures, texts or calls if that helps you feel comfortable and stress free.

“I cannot more highly recommend Elana for watching your doggo. She walked my golden retriever Thurman 3 times a week, every week, for a little over a year until we moved away in December, 2022. She is responsible, communicates very clearly, sent picture updates and went out of her way to make sure Thurman had a great time. Thurman absolutely adored her and Boo and she cared for him just as much as I would. If you pick anyone else to watch your pup it’s a mistake. Elana gets all the stars.”

About: I come from a family of animal lovers and have always been surrounded by either a new puppy, an elder dog, or a dog in their prime just looking to have fun. A lifetime of experience, and 7+ years of professional experience, has introduced me to dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have no problem with shy guys, energetic puppies, or elder dogs who just need a friend. I have the tools and knowledge to care for dogs all across the board, and not only that, but I love each dog with all my heart and treat them with the utmost respect. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a very flexible schedule, and do remote work. I can easily work with you and your schedule to come to your home to watch your pet, or pick up for pet for the day etc. I have a large fenced in yard to watch your pet for the day if they come to me. I am great at following any specific instructions and can also walk your dog throughout the day down our dead end road. If you are looking for someone to come to your home, I follow everything closely, and love working with your and your pet so everyone is happy and comfortable!

About: I love all animals but I am especially great with special needs and elderly ones. I have 2 dachshunds, and they are my life. I will treat yours as though they are my own. I am taking time off from the daily grind and therefore have lots of time to spend with your beloved fur babies and mine. We will spend time outside or cuddling, having deep chats figuring out the solutions to the universal problems etc. My dogs are allowed anywhere I am allowed that includes car bed couch and any other spot they feel drawn to. I make my dogs food but totally respect all dog food choices you may make.
