House Sitting Mountain Ranch

“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.”

“Jessie was absolutely incredible with our dogs, Snickers and Olive. From the moment we left, I felt completely at peace knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She treated them like her own and kept us updated with the sweetest, most thoughtful photos—it truly meant so much to us. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. Coming home to happy, relaxed pups says everything. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be using her again!”

“Elora is amazing! She saved our butts and booked last minute for a vacation we had planned. She took care of our pup for 5 days in our home and we were so glad he had someone like Elora as company every day. She was friendly, responsive and gave daily updates on our doggy. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”

About: I grew up around dogs when I was younger. About 9 years ago, my kids and I started taking care of friends, and family members, dogs when they go out of town...feeding, walking, letting outside, overnights, giving medicine, etc. We started watching dogs through Rover so my children would gain experience with other puppies and dogs. My kids have done so well caring for others' dogs that I decided they were ready to have a puppy of their own. We welcomed Snowball into our family on 12-18-2021. Snowball has all his shots (NOT neutered) and is ready to make new friends. He has gotten along with all the dogs we've watched on Rover and when meeting other dogs while on walks. My children and I would love to care for your puppy/dog and treat them with love and kindness during their stay with us. We're also available for drop-in visits at your home. Overnights: Friday evenings and Saturdays all day/night. Pick-ups on Sundays are ok. No overnights during the week, unless specified on our calendar. Drop-ins and walks: please message me for availability. Also available certain holidays. Looking forward to caring for your pup. These are a few things about safety in our home while caring for your pup: - We have a fenced in back yard to keep your pup safe while outside. - I can assure you that we will never feed human food to any pup. - We do not allow pups to sleep in the bed with us. Please bring a play-pen or crate for your fur baby to sleep in at night for his/her safety. - We are willing to accommodate requests such as "please don't let my pup on the couch." Just ask and we'll do our best to meet all your pet care needs.

“Tabi, Mia and Sadie let us know that Shuree took excellent care of our dogs for 7 days. She stayed with them and fed and medicated them. She took them for a walk and kept them safe. She was very responsive to my questions and sent cute photos of them. We will use her services again and can recommend her to others.”

About: Hi! My name is Ariana and I have spent my entire life around animals and am very comfortable caring for a wide variety of pets. I have a big heart for animals and have cared for a wide variety, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses (worked at summer camp!), chickens, and more, which has boosted my confidence in handling different routines, personalities, and care needs. My main experience includes feeding, exercising, grooming, cleaning enclosures and living spaces, as well as administering basic care. My priority is to ensure animals feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate well with you and your pets needs. Please contact me for specifics! Currently, I am available usually after 1pm Monday-Friday and all day Sunday but I do not have a set schedule so things can change around so please reach out to me for specifics! My family currently owns 2 cats, a dog and birds which I took care of before I moved out for graduate school last Fall. My parents entrusted me with the care of these pets and more, now and throughout my childhood, This includes walks in nature, indoor and outdoor access for both the cats and the dogs during feeding, playing, etc. Since we have owned many animals I have some experience in training as well. I am able to offer in-home care, bringing my experience to you in the comfort of your home and serving your pets in a way that makes them feel the most comfortable (keeping a standard routine, familiar environment, etc).

“Aariah was amazing! She was supposed to watch my pooch for 3 days, but when a different dog sitter backed out, Aariah made herself available to watch him for 5 days. She took him on lots of walks, and my dog was a happy pup when I got home. Would definitely recommend Aariah for dog sitting and dog walking! :)”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for animals, along with a strong focus on tailored care for each pet’s unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets requiring extra patience and support. I'm comfortable with administering medications, following special diets, and sticking to detailed routines to ensure your pet feels safe and happy in your absence. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize reliability and consistency, whether it's early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime and check-ins. I'm flexible and committed to working around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve every single day. Whether it's a short-term visit or long-term care, I make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and comforting as possible. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to create a secure, calm environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to ensure their pet feels safe in a familiar setting. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space that’s fully secured and free of hazards. I supervise interactions, keep a consistent routine, and always provide plenty of love, enrichment, and downtime to help pets feel at ease. I also keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands.

“Lily is amazing! Extremely conscientious, followed all instructions to a T, great communication and sent so many photos. And most importantly, the pups loved her. So happy to have found Lily!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. With dogs, I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, daily walks, exercise routines, basic training reinforcement, and administering medications when needed. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive interaction to keep dogs happy and well-behaved. For cats, I’m experienced in maintaining clean litter boxes, feeding routines, grooming, and creating a calm, stress-free environment—especially for more independent or shy personalities. I pay close attention to behavior and health cues in both dogs and cats, ensuring any changes are noticed early. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in caring, capable hands. I currently live and work full-time for Amador County. Outside of my 9-5 Mon thru Fri county work I am available for house and pet sits. I prefer to pet sit in clients homes, feeling that as little change as possible in a pets environment can reduce stress and separation anxiety.

About: Hello, I am a patient and kind care provider for pets of all sizes, ages, and energy levels; including exotics and livestock. In addition to growing up on the Vargas Cattle Ranch in Fremont, California, I have many years experience as a foster pet mom and respite pet caregiver. My specialties are orphan care and special needs requiring medication and or specialized attention after surgery. I have occasionally provided respite to animal rescue homes with up to 15 animals when the proprietors are out of state on vacation. In addition, I scored a proficient level on "Indeed's" veterinarian technician assessment in the areas of knowledge of common medications, vaccines in medical tests as well as skill in addressing animals needs during treatment. I am also a retired certified nurse aide with first responder medical training, a safe driver with car insurance, and a trusted provider with a clean Federal back ground clearance as a Notary Public for the state of California. I serve all of Amador County. Although I would consider other counties on a case by case basis. I am a retired Health Care Provider with many years of Special Needs Pet Sitting experience and prefer to stay busy on my 3 acres of fenced in property. My pets and the pets that I host enjoy joining me on morning and afternoon walks on trails and playing fetch. I keep a close eye on them when we are outside. Then we all snuggle up on the couch and dog beds after meals while we watch a fun movie together.

“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: Hello! I’ve been house/pet sitting for around 5 years now. I have experience with a variety of animals at all stages of life. I will follow your directions to the letter and care for your babies as if they were my own. I have had pets since I was five until recently. I currently am looking to add clients for pet care. Let’s chat and see if we mesh! I currently do gigs, mostly pet sitting, right now for income. So thats where my focus is these days! I take daily walks and would be sure to bring your baby with me! I am getting into grooming to add as a service to my clients. Currently I do not have any pets myself. My parents do have a dog and when I am there I take him out for walks and runs, brush him, love on him. I would follow your directions as to how to care for the baby animals.

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.
