About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and knowledge to every pet I care for. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs — including seniors, shy animals, and those with special needs. I also have experience training puppies, helping them learn basic commands, build confidence, and start good habits early. As an active person who enjoys walking and hiking, your dog will get plenty of exercise and outdoor enrichment. I’m also comfortable giving medications (oral and topical), cleaning up accidents with compassion, and maintaining a calm, structured environment — especially important for young or anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like my own. My goal is not just to provide care, but to offer consistency, comfort, and companionship while you're away. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life. Because I've structured my schedule around my pet responsibilities, adding care for others' pets fits naturally into my schedule. I'm organized, flexible, and attentive, and I love being able to provide consistent, loving care - whether that's for a quick drop-in or extended stays. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your routine closely to keep things comfortable and stress-free for your pet. Safety is always a priority, paying extra attention in securing doors and gates, walk dogs on-leash, and watch for any changes in behavior or health. I treat your home with care and respect, and always aim to leave things just as I found them. My goal is for you to feel confident and your pet to feel at ease while you're away.

About: I've owned and cared for pets for my whole life. As a sitter I emphasize communication with you and cater and adjust my care for each individual pet! I love getting to know your pets so they can get the type of care that they deserve! I'm currently working this fall as a substitute teacher, I'll likely be free most weekdays and can work some weekends if given sufficient notice. Irregular schedule but happy to work with you to find times that work! I believe that the right environment plays a huge role in the happiness and well being of any pet, I strive to maintain a calm, fun, and safe environment for all the pets I care for and will work with each individual person/pet to ensure that is the case!

About: Do you have a pet with special medical needs? I am a veterinary technician that does pet sitting for animals that require more in-depth medical care. I am dependable, knowledgeable, and professional with 25 years of experience in veterinary medicine. I went to school and became a Veterinary Technician at Cosumnes River College. I have worked in hospitals in both Alaska and California. I have also worked in animal shelter, boarding kennels, and pet stores. . I have raised orphaned litters of wild babies such as opossums, and racoons for wildlife rescue centers to be released back into the wild. I have also bottle-raised orphaned litters of puppies and kittens and found them homes for animal rescues. I have 40 years of experience owning many different species including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (especially bearded dragons, tortoises, turtles and snakes), rats, guinea pigs, mice, ferrets, hermit crabs, fish, tarantulas, horses, goats, chickens and lots of different exotic pets. I will also take care of babies being bottle-fed. I have owned horses for 35 years and can bring experienced, knowledgeable care to your barn while you are away. This includes feeding, exercising, cleaning, and medical care. I work entirely out of my home now, so I am able to devote the full-time care your pet deserves and may medically require.

Whether I am watching your pet at your home or mine your pets will be loved and pampered!

“Stari was amazing with our dogs. We have one difficult dog and Stari was great with her. She stayed and watched our house, took the dogs out on walks around the neighborhood and to the beach, and most importantly took really good care of our dogs. She sent photos and they were always content and happy! I would highly recommend her to watch your pets! Thanks Stari”
