About: Since I was a child, I have been helping my family and friends pet sit and take care of their dogs! More recently, I help take care of my roommates dog, whenever my roommate is working or out of town! I love to learn all about dogs and figure out how to ensure they live life to the fullest! I currently have a very open schedule! So I can be here for you and your pets pretty much whenever! I am able to work with your own schedule. I will make sure to take all the necessary precautions to ensure your pet is safe and happy! I will try my hardest to accommodate your pets needs as well as your own! If I feel as if I cannot give the best care possible, I will let you know beforehand.

About: I love animals! I have been around them forever, and in school studying to become a Veterinary Technician :) I am always open for play dates! I work Monday-Friday at Sammie’s Friends, but am available after 5pm for short dog/cat sitting. I am available weekends so any trips you want to take I’ve got you and your furry companion covered. I am very attentive and will make sure your pet is cared for and safe. Whether they are high energy and need more play time, or animals who just need some extra TLC.

About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I am an empty nester and would love to care for your four legged family members while you are away. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

“Carly was an excellent communicator. She took lots of photos of the pets and wrote up a detailed account of her visit. She asked good questions at our meet and greet which gave me confidence in that she knows what she is doing.”


“Majesty was extremely responsive and a great resource for an admittedly last minute request for a pop in to let our dogs out while we were at a Christmas party. I felt that our house instructions were read and acknowledged thoroughly, and majesty was communicative and reliable about showing up on time. We’ll definitely hire majesty again.”


“It was great to have Amy take care of Gracie. I feel Amy is super reliable and it's nice to have someone you can count on, especially regarding my little kitty, whom I love so much. I would highly recommend Amy!”



“Cynthia was able to accommodate two requests for drop-ins over the course of several days when my travel plans changed at the last minute. She was wonderful with Foxy, not only feeding her but also playing fetch and snuggling. I'll absolutely reach out to her again the next time I'm going to be out of town.”

“Sasha dropped in on my dog Willow a few times this week and I could not have asked for a better person to take care of her. Willow is very nervous around strangers, generally very distrustful and defensive, but she seemed to connect with Sasha from the start at the meet and greet. Sasha was so sweet and understanding with her, never pushing Willow to interact more than she wanted to. When she dropped in, Sasha took Willow outside and played with her (sent me the most adorable video!!), refilled her water, gave her some treats, and cuddled with her on the couch. Before she left on the last day she even cleaned up some of Willow's toys, which I am always terrible about doing. It was such a sweet gesture when I myself was already nervous about someone coming over, it put me right at ease. ? Sasha was very communicative and went above and beyond dropping in on Willow and I couldn't be more grateful. I will definitely contact her again for future drop ins when I need them!”


“Barbara took wonderful care of our cat. She was communicative, timely, and responsible. We have hesitated for years to go on vacation because we never felt confident about having anyone come to our home, but now that we’ve found Barbara, we are already booking our next vacation. Barbara is warm and friendly and clearly loves animals. She stayed in touch with us and provided updates and photos. We’re overjoyed to have found a trustworthy person to care for our cat. Highly recommended!”


About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life. I'm recently retired from a long career as a professional equestrian and horse trainer, and I'm excited to begin this journey of offering pet care services to the community! I have experience with all types and ages of pets ... from very young to very senior. I have experience administering medications, giving injections, and basic first aid. My lifestyle is active, and I'm happy to provide whatever exercise that your pet needs, whether that is a long trail hike, or simply walks around the neighborhood. And lots of love and snuggles of course :) I also have extensive horse experience, and limited experience with other livestock, and I'm happy to provide services for those animals as well. I currently work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, which allows me to work around whatever your pet care needs are. I have a reliable 4 wheel drive vehicle, so I can get to some of the further out Nevada County destinations no problem. I pride myself on being punctual, organized and reliable, and you can rest assured that your pet(s) and home will receive attentive and loving care. I am happy to take care of any additional tasks that you might need around your home while you're away (checking mail, taking out trash, watering plants/garden, etc. )


About: Hello! In the past I have owned a small dog and walked and played with him multiple times a day. He recently passed, which is why I would love to take care of other pets. I love all dogs and have experience walking and taking care of large dogs. I live in a house with a spacious yard on the ridge, on a dirt road with lots of nature around. I enjoy taking them out on walks, and we would spend ample time outside. I also have experience sitting dogs in my own home, as well as in other people's homes for an extended period of time. I can't wait to hear from you! Kendall I have a highly flexible schedule working remotely, so it is very easy for me to fit pet care into my schedule (like walks, etc.) In client's home, I like to spend a lot of time with the animal and can easily attune to where they're at whether they're a bit more nervous at first or very friendly.

About: I’ve taken care of all different kind of dogs and cats, I grew up around animals and I am truly an animal lover at heart. Friends and family have hired me to watch, walk, feed, bathe and care for their pets. I’m trustworthy, responsible and truly just want to make the time with your pet special. I’m currently working part time in the Palo Alto area and living in the San Jose area, my schedule is flexible and can be worked around your dog needs. Each experience is unique and catered to a specific dogs needs. Spacious living arrangements with room to cuddle, play and live. As well as space outside to run, play and walk. Each pet will be treated with what they need, extra walking? No problem! Extra belly runs? No problem! Bathing? No problem! Special feeding needs? No problem! I aim to make every pet and pet parents experience one of a kind.

About: One way to live a happy life is to surround yourself with things you love, for me that includes animals. I think they sense that about me and it puts them at ease. I have many years of experience with large and small animals including horses, donkeys. goats, dogs and cats. From babies to old-timers I look forward to meeting new animals and including them in my friend group :) I live on a farm so animals are a big part of my day, if I need to go take care of an animal somewhere, I work it into my schedule. Our cats are indoor/outdoor and our dogs are allowed in the house but not on the furniture. When going to a pet's home I use caution when entering or leaving the home and will follow pet-owners protocol for feeding. I will be a friend for the animal while I am there.

About: Ever since I learned to talk, I asked my parents for a dog. Over the years that turned into one, two, and now three dogs. I have also had cats over the years as well as chickens, goats, a horse, and donkey. No matter what kind of animal, I have always had a deep connection and love for the furry four-legged beings in my life. Because of this, neighbors, friends, and acquaintances have depended on me to pet sit, train, walk, feed, and groom their pets. I can easily play with your pet wherever you and your pet feel most comfortable whether that is in the home, yard, or out on walks. I consider myself a responsible and trustworthy person and will always prioritize the needs of you and your pet. I also love sending picture updates of the pets when I’m with them because a) they are so cute and b) you can feel confident they are in good hands.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and all sorts of animals in our house. We would often foster animals growing up, and had two dogs in my childhood. My partner and I committed to a new doggo for us in August 2020 - a cuddly, loving Cavapoo named Bebe. I love being outside with her, and we frequently run together, play fetch together, and stretch together. I have also loved teaching and training her since her puppyhood. Potty training, sit, come, fetch, dance, down, roll over, walk, run, stay, big jump, up, down, and more. We have her crate trained and think that the mental stimulation in this regard is very important. I'm actually playing fetch with her right now! I am an Assistant Director at a summer camp and work 30 hours a week from home in the non-summer season. I generally take the dogs out in the morning for about an hour of fetch and stretching and morning poop, then do some training with them in my lunch break, and then go for a run or walk in the evening after I am done before dinner. I am neat, tidy, and responsible. I am an eagle scout, and was always taught to leave a place cleaner than I found it. :) If I am staying at a home, I will bring my laptop and work from there, and keep my routine similar to the schedule outlined above.


About: I grew up around dogs of all sizes and breeds, and have always, always loved dogs! I volunteered at the SPCA for 2 years: walking and caring for dogs in the adoption centers. I work at home, so I have ultimate flexibility during work weeks and weekends. I am happy to take dogs on as many walks/runs/breaks as needed. I am in good shape, and I can handle larger and more energetic breeds. My neighborhood is dog-friendly with plenty of streets and dirt trails to the lake to walk or run on. Dogs are of course allowed inside and can hang out with me all day. I have experience working with dogs with medical conditions and disabilities. Our house is currently dog-free so I have extra time to give your dog(s) extra love.

Ana P.
“There are endless reasons Ana would be an amazing pet sitter. She volunteered at the SPCA where she willingly and happily gave here time to many orphaned dogs. There she learned how to work with a large variety of dog breeds. She and her family were loving owners of a red heeler named Nina. Nina, around the age of 4, began to have seizures and they discovered that she had epilepsy. Over the next few years of Nina's life Ana learned about the special needs that can be necessary to care for an animal with a serious chronic condition. She loves all animals and always seems to have a way with them. She is one of the kindest and most caring people I know.”
