3. Payton B.

“Payton did an excellent job managing my very excited and not at all leash trained 8 month old golden retriever which is not an easy job but helped us get through a time where I could not walk him and he needed extra attention. Payton is a great communicator, punctual, attentive to details and accommodated my dog's needs. I am so grateful for her help and services. She definitely deserves 5 stars!”

My dogs adore her, and I feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. Claire also has experience with fostering puppies of all ages and is incredibly responsible with their care. Claire is great with all dogs even my high maintenance special needs boxer mix.”

Also, she stuck to my feeding schedule, something I take very seriously! She was so good to me I almost didn’t miss my mom!””

“Natalee has been amazing with my 8 month old puppy Iryna. She has watched her on multiple occasions now and I can always count on her to take care of Iryna’s feeding and bathroom breaks. She follows the schedule I provide for her and is always flexible and reliable. Iryna loves Natalee and it shows every time when she sees her. They are the bestest of friends and I will definitely be using her in the future.”

“Jennifer and James are super responsive and always very accommodating, even when I’ve had to book a walk or drop-in visit at the last minute. They really care about my dog and do a wonderful job looking after her.”


14. Whitney F.
“I flew out of the country for about 3 weeks in 2021 to visit family, leaving our beloved old lady Lea (18-year old chiweenie) under Whitney's care. Whitney was a GODSEND. She took Lea out for timely walks, became very acquainted with all of her needs as a then-15-year old dog, fed her as scheduled, and fed her her supplements, too! A day or so before I flew out, Lea had had a run-in with a baby opossum, and we believe that fleas latched onto her because of this - we hadn't been able to restock her flea medications since we were still coming out of lockdown. Whitney determined this while we were away, and she worked her hardest to rid Lea's bedding of fleas while we were away and giving her multiple baths. Lea loves and still remembers Whitney when she comes to visit every now and then! I've also seen Whitney pet-sit for other animals, and she has been attentive, loving, and caring for the pets as if they were her own! I highly recommend leaving your furry friends with Whitney!”


15. Scott & Tod M.


“He was very kind even though my dogs were a bit nervous and gave him a hard time, he even stayed longer to make sure they got their walk and fed them for me. 10/10!!”


16. Raquel S.

“Raquel was a real treat to meet! She was great with my dog, Molly and was patient with my constant scheduling modifications. Raquel is very punctual with the times I selected and walks through the door at that time. Not a moment to soon or a moment too late. I am very pleased with Raquel's professionalism. I have found Molly's walker!”


17. Lashauna D.
About: In my free time I like to go down to the shelter and visit with dogs for a doggy day out ! Those dogs need love too 💕 I work part time on food trucks, if you’re interested just ask. People have recommended this I use this app so I’m giving it a try. I love it so far ! I have a fenced yard attached to my apartment. Very spacious and intimate apartment, I don’t have any animals myself so I help others with their animals. I can pet sit up to 30 days at a time. Budget friendly with extended stays.


18. Hannah B.

“Hannah is wonderful! She is always on time and very communicative. Coconut loves her and her skills and knowledge with animals is evident.”

About: My love for animals began in the womb and by the time I turned 2, I had already learned how to care for my puppy. I've been Dr. Dolittle ever since! I absolutely know how to make pets feel comfortable and loved, creating a warm, safe space where your pets can truly relax while you’re away. My home is home for your pets while they’re away from home. I have experience administering medications and providing senior care to dogs, and I’ve used that knowledge in my role as a foster for two local animal shelters here in Sacramento. This hands on experience means I can give your senior dog the extra attention they deserve. Additionally, I’m pretty good at training dogs, which allows me to help reinforce good behavior while they’re with me. I'm no expert but I do apply what I've learned and it works. I do offer light grooming and bathing to keep your pet looking and feeling great and smelling even better- full disclosure, once again I am no expert at grooming nor am I a professional but I have groomed my own animals for years with no issues and will gladly do the same for your pet if needed. Whether it's taking them for walks, playing fetch, catch-me-if-you-can, or just cuddling up on the bed, my goal is to ensure they have a fantastic time filled with love and attention. I am a stay at home mom! This allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I can provide attentive playtime, feeding, and grooming throughout the day. My flexible routine enables me to ensure that each pet receives the love and care they deserve while I also balance my responsibilities at home. Whether it’s playing, feeding, or simply spending time with the animals, I can easily fit pet care into my day to day activities. PSA!! *DO NOT BOOK IF YOU ARE NOT SURE! DO NOT BOOK IF YOU WILL LOOK FOR OTHER PROVIDERS INSTEAD! DO NOT BOOK IF YOU PLAN TO USE MY TIME AS LAST RESORT! I HAVE A DAILY SCHEDULE I FOLLOW AS WELL AND WOULD PREFER TO KEEP IT & ONLY ADJUST BASED ON FOR SURE BOOKINGS!* THANKS!! In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets with a gated backyard and a fenced front yard where they can play and explore. Whether it's play time in the yard or a cozy spot to relax indoors, I prioritize the wellbeing and happiness of every pet in my care.


20. Marc S.

“Marc did a phenomenal job with my 2 adult huskies for a few days. He gave 2 walks a day and went above and beyond with the care and service he provided. We met about 2 weeks ahead of the scheduled service and when Marc came by, he was polite and professional, and showed genuine interest in becoming friends with the dogs and listening to me give him several details, which put my mind at ease. I will definitely seek out Marc’s services again and highly recommend!”
