About: I have had at least 3 pets my entire life, and that was at my parents' house. I have pet-sat for numerous friends and family members. I have cared for dogs ranging from puppies to senior cuties! I currently have 1 cat at my mom's, 2 dogs, and a cat at my dad's. I am very comfortable with animals, and I am always making sure that they are being taken care of and are having a fun time! I am currently working part-time, usually closing shifts, which are normally 5-9 pm. So I have plenty of time to play with your pets:) I have grown up with pets my whole life, and I am committed to providing a safe and fun environment. My number one concern is your pets:)
About: I recently moved back here after having spent the last 5 years in Los Angeles. I was emotionally & mentally exhausted from working a 9-5 within such a large city. I missed my animals, the sound of nature & the outdoors. I would love to care for your pets as they enrich my life so much, and I would love to enrich theirs! A LITTLE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE: Animals have been apart of my life since I could remember: I grew up on a farm! 9 acres of land, filled with horses, chickens, cats, dogs, rats & a free roaming tortoise! The main animal I was surrounded by was cats. We had anywhere from 6-13 at a time! This was mainly due to the litter of kittens my mom, sister & I would foster for months at a time. Our primary focus was bottle baby kittens. I always say, I am a dog mom, but a cat person! Both are extremely near and dear to my heart. I’m also very athletic, so if you have a high energy dog, I don’t mind taking them for a run, dog park, hike etc. MY PETS: My dog’s name is Saint & he is my entire world. I adopted him from a rescue in Riverside, CA only a year and a half ago. He was an aggressive, scared dog who needed constant love and patience to gain his trust. Now, he is an energetic, loving, hilarious boy! Our favorite activities were hikes & playing fetch. Fun fact: he looks identical to 🐕 Saint has taught me how to care for temperamental dogs through positive reassurance as well as the importance of a dynamic, safe environment. MY SPECIALTIES: Senior dogs Energetic dogs Bottle baby kittens Senior cats Medication Live in Sacramento, work in Folsom. Weekends are open to sitting anywhere from Sac up to Placerville and beyond! Weekdays are reserved for early morning walks, late night check-ins around the area OR for those who need mid-day pet care based in Folsom! I am dynamic all around!! I live in an apartment that is open with high ceilings. I have no pets (Saint lives with my parents), smoke & child free as well! More than happy to snuggle & allow pets on furniture. I live in a safe neighbor with a lot of great space to walk.
About: Hi there! 🐾 I genuinely love animals! I've spent the past 5 years caring for cats and dogs, including my own pets. I'm comfortable with all kinds of personalities, including shy, energetic, anxious, and reactive pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I'm happy to be patient and let them warm up to me at their own pace. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just having someone nearby, I'm happy to give them the attention and care they need! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I'm big on communication and will gladly send pictures and updates throughout our time together so you know your furry family member is doing well. I'm also comfortable with house sitting, following detailed instructions, and respecting your home and your pet's normal routine. I don't mind cameras in shared spaces, and I want you to feel completely at ease while you're away. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you! 🐶🐱🧡 I'm available on both weekdays and weekends! 🐾 I do have a full-time job, but I have flexibility with my schedule and can make adjustments ahead of confirmed bookings. I primarily offer house sitting and dog walking. For overnight stays, I'm happy to stay in a guest room if one is available! Since I live in Orangevale, I'm also open to arranging visits throughout the day and returning to my own home at night, depending on your pet's needs. I'm always happy to talk through expectations and schedules before confirming a booking to make sure we're a great fit! I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated! 🐾 For dogs, a typical day might include walks around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of attention and cuddles. If they're comfortable in public spaces and their owner approves, I'm happy to take them to a nearby park for some extra outdoor time! For cats, I love interactive playtime with their favorite toys, giving them pets when they're in the mood, or simply hanging out and keeping them company. I always adjust activities based on each pet's energy level, personality, and routine. Whether they're full of energy or prefer a relaxing day, I'm happy to match their vibe!
“Brandie was great with my dog. She came over twice to become aquanted with him beforehand and then took great care of him during her visit. Her communication was too notch and my dog was very happy with her.”
About: I have over eight years of dedicated hands-on experience, having cared for pets of all ages and backgrounds since I was 12 years old. Growing up surrounding myself with animals and pet care taught me how to read animal body language, build fast trust, and adapt to each animal's unique personality. My current schedule allows me to offer excellent flexibility and dedicated time for pet care. I work part-time at my church, which leaves me with plenty of open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Following Their Routine: I stick strictly to the daily schedule you set for feeding, exercise, play, and bedtime. Keeping their normal routine minimizes stress while you are away. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total respect, keeping common areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring everything is left exactly as you left it. Constant Updates & Photos: You will receive regular check-ins, photos, and updates during every visit or overnight stay so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Whether those were dogs in my family, or a dog of my own. I have experience with dog walking and pet sitting dogs in my neighborhood as well! I am detail-oriented so I make sure to follow owner instructions and pay attention to animal behavior. I’m currently a student-athlete and have some extra time on the weekends to take care of dogs! I love animals (sometimes more than people) and I would love to use my free time to look after animals and provide my services. I have a dog at home who I pay close attention to so that he doesn’t eat anything, break anything, and I make sure he gets attention! Like my own dog, I treat other dogs with the same care and love.
“We have a sweet but anxious little rescue dog. He doesn't like anything new or out of the routine, and he doesn't like anyone but his ONE human. David was able to help him feel less insecure, and now he has one one human on the (short) list of humans he can trust. THANKS, David, for helping our Buster feel secure!”
“My dog has only been walked by me and I wasn't sure how he'd do being walked by someone else. He immediately was comfortable with Michael. My dog is a large mastiff and is very strong. Michael has good knowledge about dog training and behavior and is great at making sure my dog listens and is well behaved on his walks.”
“Betty walks my dog Lucy and is so great! She's very professional, accommodating and I know Lucy enjoys her time with her so much! I'm so thankful to have such a great dog walker to rely on.”
“Amy is very thorough and thoughtful. She took copious notes on my senior dog and changed her diaper and wiped her paws awesomely per my request. When faced with language barriers, Amy is still communicative, kind and respectful— my mom liked her too!”
About: I am dedicated to focusing on personalized care tailored to the needs of every pet. Ensuring that each furry friend receives the specific attention and support they require to thrive. I have deep love for animals and I am committed to creating a safe, comfortable environment. I am currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to play and entertain your pups! I am available during the week and occasional weekends. In home pet care: Feeding and watering as needed or required. Engaging in exercise and playtime, grooming (if needed or required), medication administration, and creating a safe and cozy environment for them. Maintaining great communication with the parents of the furry friends and ensuring updates are communicated.
“Thank you so much Michelle for walking our two pups! They were so happy each day and we loved to see the pictures and read your descriptions of the day. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and being around animals has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. Beyond my love for animals, I’ve spent nearly 30 years working in clients’ homes as a remodeling contractor, which has taught me the importance of reliability, respect, and treating every home with care. When you leave your pet with me, you’re choosing someone who will care for them with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own family. I’ve also cared for chickens and am comfortable with backyard flocks, so if you have feathered family members, they’re in good hands too. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and maintain your pet’s normal routine. When I’m caring for your pet, they have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they receive the exercise, affection, and care they deserve while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll carefully follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, along with regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I'm an excellent choice to take care of your precious pets! Not just because I'll provide your pets with the most attentive and loving care possible, but because I'll stay with your pets at all times. Pet sitting is my full time job. That means I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Overnight house sitting works well for me. I stay at my houses all day and night, except for the occasional errand. Your pets will be happy to have a trusted companion all day. I also provide excellent and attentive drop-in visits! You and your pets will be in good hands with me. I've cared for dogs and cats since childhood. That makes over FOUR decades of personal experience caring for all of the dogs and cats in my life! I grew up on a small family farm and have experience taking care of horses, sheep, pigs, geese, chickens, and fresh and saltwater fish. I have years of professional experience in pet sitting. Past pet owners have expressed that they were very happy with my services. I've taken care of a variety of dog breeds, from tiny Yorkies to Bull Mastiffs and Great Danes. I'm comfortable with all dog breeds, and love to do research on the various dog and cat breeds that I'm caring for. I feel confident in my knowledge of your pets' needs, including appropriate interaction with them, proper feeding, exercising, using vets, training reinforcement, and oral medication administration. I'm experienced in the care of puppies, senior dogs, and special needs dogs. I've also trained puppies. I have a caring, positive and calm approach with animals. Many past pet owners have said that their pets respond to me in a positive way. Dogs are a very important part of my life; caring for them keeps me happy! I have my own reliable car and am a nonsmoker. When I'm house sitting, I am very respectful of pet owners' houses and their privacy. I will care for your pet in any type of environment. I love playing with pets outdoors, playing fetch, and brushing them. I also enjoy taking dogs on long walks. Small indoor settings are also great. I provide lots of indoor play time and attention and affection.

She is ammaaaazing! Amira is stubborn as a mule, but she handles her with care and even trained her to calm down on the pulling. Even brought her snacks for a lil persuasion which def works with Amira. Amira smiles and her entire body wiggles when she knows Anastassia is coming. She is so happy!
Bill it's been such a great opportunity to get to know you and the care you provide for Ty Chi. I always felt secure being away and knowing that ty is in good hands with you and I'm sad that we will be moving out of the area because people as genuine as you are hard to find. Thanks again for everything and hopefully we'll cross paths again. Good luck on all your future endeavors

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Orangevale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
