Nicole did a fabulous job! My dogs adored her even my big baby that is very skittish. They were even looking out the window for her after she left!

We rebooked with Nikki for an overnight trip because our dogs were so well cared for when she came during a 6-day trip last month. She is communicative, friendly, and even watered my plants when they started to wilt while we were gone. She is a true gem.

About: I have experience with a wide range of pets! Medication, grooming, and basic care all in one person who actively communicates to ensure your satisfaction and care of your family member. I was a dog/cat groomer for 6 years and worked at a doggie daycare for 4 years, working with a wide range of breeds and personalities has helped me accurately read pets and their needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small pets. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it’s morning feedings, litter box cleaning, grooming, or quiet cuddle time, I schedule each task with care and consistency. I make sure every pet gets the attention and comfort they need, and I adjust my routine around their habits and preferences. For me, caring for pets isn’t a task—it’s a meaningful part of my day. I am available around the clock so just let me know when you need me! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I create a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they feel safe and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, and any medication needs—so they experience as little stress as possible. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space with plenty of enrichment and supervision. When visiting a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure their pet receives attentive, personalized care just as they would if you were there.

About: I've taken care dogs since I was 9. Friends and family has always relied on me to dog sit their pets, feed, and bathe. I am always happy to meet new dogs and spend time with them. I am mostly at home everyday and always have time to spend time for dogs. I am always open for any times and days. I am not so busy so I have lots of time to spend with pets. I have a fenced big yard for pups to have fun. I am also willing to have pups in doors as well. My house is very open and comforting.

About: I've had pets all of my adult life and most of my adolescence. When I was a teen my dad decided he wanted a farm and I helped care for cows, sheep, goats, chickens, and ducks. I have also been around horses since I was 7 and currently have a roommate that has horses and I help care for them on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I started dog sitting for friends when I was 19 or 20 and do it when I can even now. I love animals and have helped with many different kinds. Currently my husband and I have 2 dogs, Rory (female, doberman) and Brianna (female Chihuahua/Corgi mix) Wednesdays, and thursdays I help my roommate feed/water her horses once in the morning and once in the late afternoon. Currently, I have an in person class on mondays and wednesdays at 6pm and 2 other classes online. Sunday afternoons and Tuesday evenings I have religious meetings I go to other than that I am free to stay at someone's house let them out during the day or even stay for a bit to visit with the fur-babies while I do some school work. Im not offering boarding at my home, but when visiting someone else's house I am able to feed, check waters, clean up little accidents, and let the dog in and out of the home into their yard or if the dog/owner prefers a quick walk I can do that too. I can also throw their favorite toy around with them if this is the preferred exercise

About: I have had and loved animals since I was a kid, and even more so as a responsible adult. We have a loud, rambunctious 3 year old hound/border collie mix in our home who loves other dogs and loves to play. (Hounds tend to be the most mouthy breed, and Cooper doesnt disappoint). Hes quite submissive, so he pairs well with most pups. We frequent the dog park, so we have many puppy friend. Consistency is so important for the behavior and health of your dog, so I will happily accommodate your pooches needs to their benefit. I've learned with the way our guests tend to happily (and safely) play with Cooper, that while in my care sometimes there isn't enough energy left for our routine walks. If walks are part of a training regime, please let me know so I can ensure the walks still take place. I do require a meet and greet prior to every booking. This ensures there is a good fit in personalities of pups and myself as your pup's caregiver. I apologize, but because I work from home, I cannot take in habitual barkers, or dogs who are not crate trained. If you have read this far and you use Instagram, please find me watchmywags.sacramento. I work from home, and have a flexible schedule, so no worries about separation anxiety, and rest assured your furry friend will stay plenty active freely roaming our home and property. I also have 3 lovely children who enjoy the company of animals. I'm happy to help out with evening walks. Let me know if there's a specific route you're using for training purposes. I will follow your lead. If theyre coming to my home to play, I have a large fenced yard with room to run. A designated crate area for sleep. I accompany doggos while they run about outside whether for pee, poop or play. I work from home, so your pup is welcome to hang with me and Coop while I work. Cooper is happy to keep your guy entertained under my supervision. Constant video monitoring in community areas as well, so safety is utmost importance. If we are visiting your home, please leave clear written instructions. I will respect your wishes as your pet companion.

About: Hi there! I currently work at a dog daycare and boarding facility as a daycare and boarding attendant. I have been doing this professionally for a little over two years now; however, I grew up around dogs and other pets and have always helped care for them. As a boarding attendant, I am very used to and comfortable looking over groups of dogs all on my own. I am trained in ways to help pets feel comfortable when their families are away, administer medication when needed, safely break up fights, and also trained to recognize behaviors of dogs to better help provide what they may need. While I am professionally trained to care for dogs, I am more than comfortable looking after other pets as well. I currently work overnights Wednesday - Saturday, 7pm-7am. So I am available to stay overnight with your pet, Sundays-Tuesdays. I am available almost anytime for drop ins or walks! (Any day of the week from 8:00am-6:00pm). I am very attentive to detail and follow instructions directly as told. If I am walking your pet, stopping by to check in, or pet sitting at your house, I can assure you I will follow directions and take care of your pets exactly as you asked.

Such an amazing lady and cat sitter❣️ My fur baby was well taken care of. Twice a day feeding, playtime, cuddles, and chin scratches. I received several pictures twice a day which allowed me to thoroughly enjoy my vacation. I thought Jennifer was special when we first met - she confirmed it by truly caring for my girl❣️?‍⬛

About: I’ve grown up around animas my entire life! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes, I have a German Shepherd, Husky, and mini Golden Doodle who I’ve trained myself. I have a passion for all animals but dogs is where my heart resides in. I am currently a surgical tech in my internship, this works perfectly with me because I’m usually not available in the mornings, which makes your afternoon/evening plans even better because that’s when I’m available to look after and care for your fur baby! As someone whose job it is to stay organized and consistent, rest assured I make sure your pet is looked after with detail and care. I can follow a routine quite easily, and am comfortable with some training habits, and medications.
