Pet Sitting in Nevada City

“Ben took excellent care of my Sasha girl. Ben’s communication was fantastic and thorough. It’s clear how much he loves all pups and how extensive his knowledge is on dog behavior/psychology. Ben gave me a great run-down on Sasha’s day when I went to pickup and really took the time to know Sasha. I feel so lucky to have found Ben!”

“Berlin has watched my dog, Penny, on several occasions. Penny is always excited to go over to their house and has the most amazing time. She gets so much attention, playtime, and care with Berlin. They treat every dog like their child, and is very attentive. Your dog will not be able to get into anything under Berlin’s guidance, and they will have a super fun time.”

“Mel did a great job taking care of my cat, he took to her quite quickly which made me feel ver comfortable leaving him I her care. I recommend her!”

“We got timely status updates from Samantha on everything that was happening with our cats while we were gone, with details on food, water and litter scooping. Prior to her first shifts she came over and met the cats and us, and we realized right away that she was going to be perfect - so friendly towards us and eager to make sure she understood our directions, and affectionate towards our cats. We will definitely be booking Samantha in the future!”

“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our two kitties while we were out of town. And I could tell from her photos that they really warmed up to her, and appreciated her company. She communicates well with both human and cat ?, and is clearly a responsible and kind sitter. We will definitely be calling her again!”

“Shea has a heart to care for animals, and will treat your pet like you would want them treated. I would trust Shea to open up my house and care for my pets while I am away. If you are walking your dog and someone stops to compliment your dog then gives your fur baby a good belly rub before wishing you well, that was probably Shea.”

“We just met Margaret and were impressed with her communication, care for our cat, and willingness to help us with our mail and watering the houseplants! We felt comfortable and secure while we were away. We hope to work with her again. Thanks!!”

“Katherine was very attentive and communicative while watching my dog. She gave me peace of mind that he was well cared for while I was out of town.”

“David is the only person I would ever leave my dog with. My dog is my world, and I can feel confident that she will be well taken care of when left with him. I’m actually pretty sure my dog loves him more than me.. lol. I highly recommend David as a dog sitter.”

“Professional, attentive and friendly. My cat loved Amy”

“Jessica was such a great sitter for my kitty over a holiday when we went away! She sent us updates and pictures and gave the cat some great company. Definitely recommend her!”

“Sarah is a great dog sitter. Her work history shows that she has lots of experience working with kids and I personally know that she loves animals. She has worked at many YMCA and other children's camps. She has done every job from being a camp counselor, an outdoor education instructor, an off-site activities coordinator, and an adventure coordinator. She has also managed after school programs for kids. Many different organizations have given a lot of trust to Sarah to make sure the kids in her care are safe, have fun, and grow as individuals. She will take care of anyone's dog with the same amount of care she gives to the children that she has cared for.”

“Cynthia took good care of my kitten who alternates between needing play and lap naps. She’s very easy to coordinate with and was flexible in my changing schedule. I have no worry about the pets when I know she’s taking care of them. Thanks Cynthia!”

“Aleenah is the best person to care for your dog while you are away. Aleenah was great about sending photos and updates of my dog while I was away. I highly recommend Aleenah to care for your dog, she’s the best!”

“I've seen Sarah and her dog Rigatoni interact a lot. She's very kind and compassionate towards animals and I would trust her with my pet any day!”

“It was our first time using Rover. We are very happy with Anna’s services over the weekend. We enjoyed the rover cards with pictures - it was good seeing how well our kitty was doing with Anna’s visits. I’ll definitely rebook Anna whenever we go out of town. Thanks so much for giving our kitty lots of love!”

About: I've spent the last 4 years volunteering with Ruff Pack Refuge. RPR specializes with rescuing special needs and elderly dogs. My responsibilities included cleaning kennels, administration of medications, dog walking, fostering dogs, e.t.c. Over the past couple of years I have enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family. I am available all the time I have a very flexible schedule and I am sure we can figure something out via text or call... I have a fenced yard, nice neighborhood to walk around, and a large comfy and soft couch for anyone to lounge around and relax if needed

“Ixchel (Rhia), is such an amazing person and a responsible, hardworking pet owner. She has put a lot of work into the training of her own dog, Falcor who is just as amazing as his owner. This dynamic duo visited me recently and they were so respectful of my space. Falcor never jumps on furniture without an invitation and his social cues with other dogs is a pleasure to behold. He completely ignored my sister's yippy chihuahua mix and become fast friends with her elderly dog. Rhia always leaves a place better than she found it and she will love your fur baby as her own. Choosing Rhia is always the right choice.”

About: Hi ~ I hope you’re having a good day and that you’ll find the perfect fit for pet care. I’d love to help you take the best possible care of your fur babies. I currently don’t have any pets of my own so am that much more enthusiastic about engaging with yours! I’ve pet and house-sat intermittently over the last 10 years and have also worked as a live-in caregiver, so I understand how important it is to be reliable and how to care for both animals and humans. I’ve always had a deep love for taking care of and learning about animals. Growing up, I helped my mom care for our beloved cats, ensuring they were well-fed, their litter boxes clean, and they had ample playtime. I helped raise and care fore them from the early stages of kittenhood to their adult years. I also enjoy caring for all types of dogs, ranging from dachshunds to great dane mixes. Over the years, I’ve been entrusted by friends, family members, and even friends-of-friends to walk, feed, and provide comprehensive care for their precious fur babies, including scaly and feathered companions. From cats, dogs, birds, fish, and lizards to turtles, I have had the pleasure of caring for pets in their own homes while their owners were away for various lengths of time, ranging from short getaways to extended trips lasting months. During these periods, my priority has always been to ensure the animals are as happy as possible (as they do tend to miss their owners) while maintaining their regular routines as closely as possible. Beyond basic care, I’m experienced in administering medications and I love spending quality time with these wonderful creatures. I’m currently working part-time so have plenty of time available to walk, play and care for your pets. I have remote work flexibility to be available for overnight stays and daytime activities. I’m available to care for your pets in your home, for drop in for visits, and to walk them. When I’m with your pets my goals are to maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and know what to expect and to ensure their needs are met. I’ve owned or lived with pets for most of my life. The few years when I didn’t were when I was working as a National Park ranger. During that time I still got to learn a lot about animal behavior from observing wild animals across the USA. This time spent with animals combined with my sensitivity and attention to detail add up to me being able to “tune in” with your fur-baby so I know when to interact and when to let them have space. Your and your pets’ happiness are important to me. I’m happy to play with them, bring them on their favorite walking route, and send you photo updates. I’ll be available via phone as needed while you are away.

“Darby has been the temporary human for my beloved furball, Pockets, numerous times. A spoiled Kitty who rules the roost, she doesn't always take to strangers but has welcomed Darby with open paws. She stays at home so Darby has come by regularly during my vacations to check in, love up and refuel the fur that purs. Pockets gives Darby 5 stars and so do I!”
