You have them; I love tending them!
Pet care experience
Your fur babies under 25 /pounds and I will have a great time! Rates might vary depending on travel distance, number of additional pets & other duties requested. I do not do any overnight stay and only work within a 5/6 mile distance. I do visits to feed/play or pamper dogs n cats in your home up to 3 times daily. I cannot climb stairs but can do minimal steps. I live near Carmichael and am an animal tender for over fifteen years, also a stay at home author and historian. I will tend to your family pets (including dogs, cats and small barnyard animals) by taking them to groomers, food shopping or vet visits with possibly an additional nominal gas charges. My rapport with animals is great as I am excited to be with them. I have fifteen years experience with timid, apprehensive and fearful chihuahuas, Pekinese, Jack Russell terrier puppy. dashchunds, and several cats. I have visited a cat in owner's home for two months out of each year since 2008. I am available for last minute stays if not already booked. Your dog will be kept on a leash at all times outside your home. About this sitter: I have a Sacramento County license to pet sit, am a non-smoker, non-drinker; have Rover insurance and a background check. I am an animal lover and enjoy the antics, happy dances, excitement, happiness, kisses (no matter how slobbery), playfulness of dogs, cats and barnyard animals. I will visit to be a companion, feed, take to vet, groomers, shopping. I am a stay at home author who lost my dog who was one month shy of 15 years and enjoy getting out of the house to visit your beloved pets. I have sat dogs/cats/squirrels/birds over the last fifteen years at home of animal owner. I have worked as a volunteer for rescue group. See my testimonials. I have owned a dog since my childhood and have been responsible for their feeding, bathing and loving others animals. Why I love dog sitting Most of my life I have had dogs and cats. I lost my almost 15 yr. old dog Dec. 2013. I lived in the country growing up and had pigs, cows, chickens, goats, sheep and cats. I usually have a cat, also. My dogs have always been my companions and traveled with me whenever possible. They stay in the house and are part of the family. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker. Meet my pets One 9 lb torti shell spayed female cat, 7 years. No dog at this time. My experience administering medication Mostly, yes, if the dog is controllable to administer it. In other words, won't bite me. I have administered insulin shots to a 16 yr. old Bischon. Many times I've also given pills by mouth or mixed in food to cats and dogs.
Reviews
Betty, you're exceptional inside and out! Thank you for being the most caring and thoughtful dog sitter ever!!
Betty was very sweet and meticulous and took care of Boba very well. We now know that we can leave our cat in her capable hands whenever needed in the future and we are very grateful.
Betty cared for our 3 cats & beardie and did a wonderful job. They were healthy & happy! ❤️ thanks Betty!
Betty has watched our kittens couple times now and each time she has been very helpful, organized, and communicative. We’ve come to trust her with our home and pets and will continue to use her in the future. Thanks so much for spending quality time with our fur babies, Betty!

Weight about 25 pound limit depending on breed and behavior. Might be extra cost for mileage or home tasks. Any medical problems? None of these would prevent me from sitting the dog. Would need shot information, treats, feeding, meds, allergies and any other important information.

I do not do walks. I take some of my charges to "dollar store, Rite-Aid, family/friend barbques, in & out burger, to do errands" and other fun stops. Your pet is on a leash at all times outside your house and never left in a car while I am not in the car. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever it wants or you allow. They may sleep with me, also. Time I'll spend with your dog I would spend as much time as we could mutually agree on and dog needs the attention. I do not work so your dog is my job. I enjoy playing with them Time I'll spend with your dog To visit your home, I would go whatever your preference is but at least 2/3 times from 7a.m. to 10p.m. for about an half-hour to 45 minutes each time. Extra house-sitting services Yes, sit cats, feed squirrels, water plants, groom dogs/cats, empty litter and wastebaskets, carry out garbage for emptying by city. Drive your vehicle to keep battery up, monitor pool, buy animal food, bring in mail and newspapers and packages. Will not do housework other than cleaning up after animal messes.
