About: Experience administering medications for kitties who need special care. Love working with kittens to senior cats who may need extra attention and T L C I am currently working full time, but have availability for night check-ins or weekend visits. Please reach out for any additional questions or requests, thanks. I respect your privacy and will only access anything needed to take care of your fur baby. I’ll ask for instructions beforehand or your permission.

“Jenarae is really sweet and took great care of my dog Hendrix. He enjoyed had a fun time on their walks and was eager to snuggle up with her. I was at ease during my travels knowing my boy and my home were in good care.”

About: Many clients have said they send their furry babies to us for a well-deserved vacation while they enjoy one themselves! My husband, Sebastien, and I moved to Fair Oaks, CA in the summer of 2022. While we missed all our human and furry friends in the Bay Area, we are very excited to meet new ones. We LOVE all pets; however, at the moment, we don’t have any of our own. We only board one pet at a time, ensuring they receive 100% of our love and attention. We may consider boarding two dogs at the same time if they are from the same family, love each other, and each weighs under 60 lbs. Having worked with many different breeds, we are comfortable with boarding, walking, feeding, administering medicine, playing with, caring for, and cleaning up after them. We are both active community members and have volunteered at various places, including Lytton Gardens (senior living), the Nine Lives Foundation (cat shelter), Chung Tai Zen Center, Garden to Table, teaching in Romania, Silicon Valley Volunteers, food banks, the Fair Oaks Chicken Festival, and the Sacramento County Holiday Toy Drive, among others. We both work from home now, so we are more available than ever to provide the best care for your dogs. Please note the important information below: 1, We only board one pet at a time, ensuring they receive 100% of our love and care—guaranteed! 2, We follow owners’ guidelines 100% to ensure pets don’t go home with new habits or need to be retrained. 3, We never give them human food or dog treats unless specified by the owners or provided by them. If they are allowed to have a piece of apple or carrot, please feel free to let us know, and we will be happy to share while the dogs watch us cook. 4, We ensure that all dogs receive the same amount of exercise, or more, while with us. For active and energetic dogs, we provide at least two walks per day and visit parks and river beaches on weekends. For smaller, more home-loving dogs, we enjoy cuddling and playing with them whenever they want. 5, We live in a four-bedroom single-family house with a fully fenced backyard (with a tall fence). Dogs are always welcome to use the yard for their business and playtime, and they are never left unattended in the yard. There are no kids, no roommates, and no other pets in the house. 6, We don’t allow dogs in our care to interact with other dogs. We always cross the street when encountering another dog on walks, as we can’t predict their chemistry or how the other dogs will behave. 7, We avoid dog parks due to potential unknown risks. 8, If your dog has separation anxiety, we are happy to accommodate by never leaving them home alone. However, it would be very helpful to discuss this during our meeting or via message so we can avoid making social engagements or reschedule in advance. We typically only leave them for two hours, or a maximum of four hours. Please bring food, snacks, treats, and any medications. It would be very helpful if feeding instructions and medication dosages are included in their profile or written on a piece of paper. We have a dog bed in each room (with a cover washed after each stay), so if you forget or your pup isn’t picky, we’re covered on that. We also have water and food bowls in various sizes, which are washed after each meal, and water bowls are cleaned daily😄 We look forward to meeting you all! More notes: If you have specific requests regarding the number of updates, pictures, and videos you would like to receive each day, please let us know in advance, and we’ll gladly accommodate. Otherwise, you can expect at least two updates every 24 hours. We believe keeping you informed is essential for peace of mind! We both have full-time jobs in tech (engineering and finance) and work from home. Caring for furry babies is our passion We welcome feedback and would appreciate a review afterward. However, there’s no issue if you don’t get around to it—we won’t ask for one.😸🐶🐻‍❄️🐷 We both work from home so we can accommodate to each dog’s schedule. Normally one of us walk them 20-40 minutes in the morning (unless told not to due to age/injury), and provide potty breaks at least 3 - 4 times during the day. Some sort of mental stimulation in the afternoon, and one more longer walk or fetching/playing in the afternoon/evening. Timing will be dependable on temperature. Last potty break is between 10 to 11pm before bed. Playtime is available throughout the day. Dogs are always secured with a dog seatbelt in the backseat of our Outback when we take them out. We have a tall fenced yard, and we do not allow dogs to be in the yard unattended. We eat twice a day without snacking in between, so there’s no human food or snacks left around the house. We do the dishes immediately after we eat.

“Cecelia was amazing. Our dog just got neutered and Cecelia took really good care of him. Leo had a really good time with her.”

“Katrina had a wonderful bond with Roxie. Roxie looked fabulous when we got home. She took such great care of Roxie and sent me pictures along with updates on how Roxie was doing while I was away. Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”

“Kenya was fantastic with my high energy, admittedly needy dogs. Very professional and a great communicator! I feel very comfortable with Kenya and have already signed up to have her help us out again!”

Eric R.

“Our anxious rescue dog Leo loves Maria! She is always so sweet and thoughtful with him and goes out of her way to make sure he feels safe and cared for while we are away. He even follows her around the house now because he trusts her and doesn’t want to be too far from her! Thanks for another great dog sitting experience, Maria.”

“Alexus always goes the extra mile! Our cat Wally loves her! She’s quick to respond on rover, she is clean and takes great care of our Wally. We will always book with Alexus”

“Gloree was communicative, professional, friendly and personable. She got along great with my dogs which is no small feat because on of our dogs is aloof. She also kept our house clean. We will be using her again!”

I have three dogs of my own, 2 labs and a beagle! Safe to say I love every dog! You can trust that your pet is in good hands I’m currently working a part time job sometimes just office work, and then work days on weekends. But I’m available a majority of the time and what works best for most people! I provide a safe, loving environment with great supervision, regular walks, playtime, feeding, updates for owners, and personalized care to keep pets comfortable and happy!

About: I am a pet lover who has taken care of family, friend, and mutuals dogs! Staying active is important to me and I would love some companions to join me in my journey. I am reliable and punctual. I am also very flexible and will give your pet incredible amounts of love and play time! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits and dog walks while giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I strive to maintain their normal routine and make them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes so pets can stay in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I have experience caring for many different dog breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, administering medication if needed, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives attentive, loving care while respecting your home and following your instructions.

“So great! We were able to relax while we were away knowing the dogs were being taken care of! We also really appreciated Sarah’s updates and patience with our younger pup who can be a handful.”

“Kaila recently house sat for us, taking care of our young energetic dog and two middle aged cranky cats. She did a wonderful job! We got regular updates and photos about all the pets, so we never had to worry or wonder. The most telling thing for us was how much more relaxed all three of our pets were when we got home. Usually when we come back from vacation, there is an adjustment period as they destress; that didn’t happen at all this time! They were happy to see us but seemed so relaxed and well cared for. We could not have asked for a better experience!”

About: Hi my name is Allison, I am an experienced dog and cat sitter who has been pet sitting for 6 years. I also have my own pets who I adore, a charcoal lab and a black cat. I am an active caretaker, and can walk and play with animals easily. Looking for summer work as I am on summer break through the school district I work for. Please reach out with any questions! I currently work in the Pleasanton School District, therefore I have summers off and available. I am looking to pet sit for the summer until August. I have very flexible availability, and am easy to work with. I love all dogs and have my own that I adore! I can take your pets for walks, play with them in the house and the backyard as long as it is fenced. As someone who cares for your animals at your house, I am respectful of your space and make sure the priority is the care for your animals.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family multiple times, giving me real experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine by planning specific times for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, while also checking in throughout the day to make sure the dog is comfortable, safe, and getting enough attention. I would care for your dog in your home by monitoring bathroom breaks, providing regular walks, feeding them on schedule, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have over 25 years of experience. Currently, my pets, Luna and Nala, are staying with family in Southern California while I’m on a temporary assignment in Northern California. I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and even caring for pets with special needs. Whether it’s playing with energetic pups or offering comfort to senior pets, I provide reliable and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I work full time but I’m home by 4 PM each day, so I’m available for evening walks and boarding. On weekends, I’m always home and can dedicate even more time to caring for your pets. My flexible schedule allows me to provide personalized attention, especially on weekends. I live in an apartment with a small fenced patio where pets can safely roam and get fresh air. While I currently don’t have any pets of my own, I have plenty of space and a cozy environment to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. If needed, I can also crate pets for added safety during their stay.

“Amadita was AMAZING with our Bouzy! Incredibly accommodating and playful with her while we were away. It’s great to have a reliable sitter - will definitely book with Amadita again 😊😊”

“We can’t begin to thank Kristi enough for coming to our rescue and taking fabulous care of our lab Dexter and our itty bitty kitty Willy ! She cared for our home like it was her own, everything was right in its place when we got home. Her communication with us while we were gone was fantastic, she let us know every step of the way how things were going and the pictures and videos were so fun to receive!! We wouldn’t give it a second thought to take full advantage of Kristi’s services again when needed !”
