About: A Lifetime of Loving Pets 🐾 I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and understanding their unique personality , routine, and needs. As a pet owner myself, I also understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind when you travel. You want to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering if they’re okay. That’s why I provide the same level of care I would want for my own pets-attentive, dependable,personalized, and genuinely loving. I understand the importance of quick updates and photos to put your mind at ease. I commit to sending you a morning and evening photo and update each day. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your pets is in caring hands and receiving quality care while you’re away. You should be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, safe, and exceptionally well cared for. ❤️ Pickup and drop-off available within 5 driving miles of my home for an additional fee, subject to scheduling. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, hands on care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s keeping their normal routine, taking dogs out for walks and playtime, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m able to be present and attentive rather than a quick visit-they get genuine companionship and consistent care throughout the day. Safety, Trust & Comfort 🐾 I take your pets safety and well-being seriously. I’m careful about following your instructions, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they’re comfortable in their environment. I believe the little things matter-secure doors and gates, keeping food and medications properly managed, being aware of your pets surroundings, and paying attention to changes in their behavior or routine. Most importantly, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I want you to feel confident knowing that while you’re away, someone responsible and attentive is looking after what matters to you most.

About: I love being with all animals and especially older and disabled animals. I have my experience from working in Animal Shelters for about 2 years, doggie daycares, pet crematories and also petsitting for different companies and myself over 25 yrs. I am a full time traveling pet/housesitter. I have the luxury of boarding dogs at my friends longterm housesit in Grass Valley. I have owned many animals throughout my life and have experience with meds, subQ fluids, end of life, aggressive dogs/cats and finicky pets. I'll treat your babies as if they were mine! I can also share many reviews from other platforms upon request. I am always available to help you out with your fur babies anytime! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. Everyday, any time. A typical day for dog care is a walk/hike in the morning(depending on dog needs), chill/snack/play, and then one more walk in the evening. We go to a different location for each walk! I will follow all directions given in writing on how to care best for your sweet baby. I can do walks, playtime, exercise, training, massage and reiki and anything else needed!

About: I offer calm, attentive care for pets, with a steady presence that helps animals feel safe and settled. • Experienced with dog walking, feeding, and drop-in care • Calm, attentive, and intuitive with animals of all temperaments • Comfortable with routines, medications, and special needs • Reliable and respectful in both short visits and extended care Over the past several years, I’ve immersed myself in house and pet sitting, earning a reputation for reliability, cleanliness, discretion, and a calm, responsible presence. I’m often entrusted with extended and live-in care, and I take stewardship of both pets and home seriously. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals and situations, including long-term dog sitting for a couple over several years, from weekend trips to multi-week stays. Before a period of travel abroad, they even flew me to Portland to care for their dogs, Sana and Osa, and their cat Ninja during a three-week wedding trip to Mexico. Sana required extra sensitivity and daily car rides to a quiet cemetery to avoid overstimulation, which I was happy to accommodate. I’ve also house- and pet-sat for a senior couple, caring for two cats, two chickens, and managing a daily bird-feeding system for local avian visitors who were dear companions to the homeowner. In another sit, I tended to a rescue crow and her two cat companions for a full month while the owners were in India studying Vedic astrology. In many of these situations, I’ve also been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, maintaining routines, and simply being a reassuring human presence in the home—keeping things running smoothly, lights on, and the house clearly lived-in while owners are away. I’m very comfortable accommodating unique requests and supporting both pets and homes with care and respect. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and adapt my day around your pets’ needs. I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and companionship, and I’m open to coordinating routines that support your pet’s comfort and wellbeing. I provide care in my clients’ homes, maintaining their pets’ normal routines and environment. I focus on calm, attentive presence, safety, and clear communication. I’m comfortable administering medication, managing feeding and exercise, and keeping the home clean, secure, and lived-in while you’re away. I treat each home and animal with respect, discretion, and care.

“Cydney was very communicative prior to meeting us and coming to walk Nala. She showed up on time and was great with Nala. Highly recommend her for dog walking!”

About: Not only do I have 2 fur babies over 75 lbs making me experienced but I also have done a lot of training with them both. King had extremely bad separation anxiety and after months of training he’s become a lot more independent and calm making us both much more happy. If you’d like me to do some basic training with your pup while you are away on vacation, I can definitely do so. No worries if not, I’ll give your fur baby lots of love and play time! I know how hard it can be to go on vacation away from your babies but I will be making this time for your pup so much fun with walks, play time, and love! I also have cared for chickens, ducks, reptiles, and would be open to learning how to care for more of your farm animals! i am available mostly every day, reach out and I can let you know if it doesn’t work for me but it most likely will! I can crate train if you have a crate in your home (I cannot provide). I can also do basic training (sit, lay down, stay, etc..) if you would like, you must provide treats as I know many have food allergies.

About: Been a proud owner of goats, cats, chickens, reptiles and dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with and cared for livestock and house pets. I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in PV. My schedule is Monday through Thursday from 8:30/9:00am to 5pm. If your pet is able to be left home while I work then perfect! Otherwise I am fully available for long weekends. :) In my own home I have reptiles, three cats and one older dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.

About: Hello! I'm a life long animal lover and have had dogs since I was 7. In my 20's I had a senior dog followed by two puppies, Roscoe who is now 11 and Jolene who is 5. I feel comfortable taking care of cats and dogs at any stage of life. I would love to spend time with your pets, walking them, playing, or snuggling. If your pet has any special needs to be met I'm happy to accommodate just let me know. I have also taken care of birds and rabbits, so if you have any other pets in the household I can help with them as well. I'm a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I'm available all day on Friday's and Saturday's. The rest of the week I'm available most days after 5pm just reach out to me if you need a service on a weekday evening. I respect your personal space and want your pet(s) to feel completely comfortable in your absence. I'm diligent in making sure their environment is safe (door, gate, etc. are closed properly) and I treat all animals with love and care. I will take care of your pets how I would take care of my own.

About: Offering a safe home away from home, compassionate care, and peace of mind for pet owners is something that all pet sitters should be offering. I go far beyond this standard providing both care and training. Since I was a child, dogs and cats have gravitated toward me and I've always enjoyed their companionship; you can almost always find me with at least one dogs around. It's never been an unruly mass of teeth and paws though; I've always taken the time to teach my furry friends to walk on leash, to have immediate recall, to be polite in kitchen, and to use their voices kindly. I do the same with every animal that I am given care of, gently coaching them to be civil, furry companions while showering them with love. I am currently working from home and set my own schedule. I have a set daily morning and evening walk which your pup(s) will join. During the day, you pup(s) will have company of two dogs, three cats and plenty of pets from me. On weekends we go on adventure hikes. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company during the day. I have crates, leashes, grooming tools and home made dog beds for all pet care needs.

About: I am a huge animal lover with a lifelong passion for pet care. Growing up surrounded by animals, I learned early on how to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care. Whether it's an energetic kitten or a senior dog who needs a gentle touch, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Animals I have experience with: Cats & Dogs: All life stages, from playful kittens/puppies to sweet seniors. I have an incredibly flexible schedule right now, which means I have plenty of open time to dedicate entirely to your pets! My days are wide open to focus on your fur babies, ensuring they get regular bathroom breaks, plenty of active playtime, and all the attention they deserve. I am highly accommodating for weekday routines. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities when caring for your animals. Whether visiting for drop ins or house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect and follow your exact instructions to keep your pets safe. As an obsessed cat parent with two felines of my own, I am highly attentive to animal behavior, ensuring a calm, happy, and completely stress free experience for your fur babies right in their own comfortable environment.

About: I love pets! More than human most of the time. I enjoy talking to them and learning from them, and playing! Your baby will be in very good hands with me! I am a student and can only work part time. This kind of work is not only ideal for my schedule and financial needs, its an opportunity to make new 4 legged friends! I am not able to host any furry friends. But I can walk them around their neighborhood. Hang with them in their home with their owners are away. I've cared for many different breeds with many different needs and I am more than happy to accommodate for whatever is needed.

“Cynthia did a great job with Milo. Milo warmed up to her instantly. She sent regular updates and pictures during her stay.I plan on using Cynthia more often. I trust Milo will be in good hands in her care.”

About: One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is sending photos and updates to owners while they're away. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for when you can't be there. I genuinely love working with animals of all kinds. Over the past 10 years, I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, lizards, chickens, and many other pets. Animals bring so much joy to the world, and I believe they deserve attentive, compassionate care. I'm known for being reliable, flexible, and easy to work with—whether I'm helping friends, family, or new clients I've just met. Because every pet has unique needs, I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and preferences. I also have extensive experience administering medications and caring for pets with special requirements. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets. I would love the opportunity to help care for your furry, feathered, or scaly family member. I currently work full time as an office manager in the Roseville area, but I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to support pet care needs throughout the day. I’m able to step out during my lunch breaks for potty visits, check-ins, or to administer medications when needed. My routine is well-structured, which helps me reliably accommodate most scheduling requests and provide consistent care. I understand how important timely visits and dependable support are for both pets and their owners, and I do my best to ensure that each visit is handled with care and attention. I believe the best pet care starts with following the guidance provided by pet owners. They know their pets best and understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities. One thing I've learned over the years is that every animal is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to caring for them. I also place a strong emphasis on observation and communication. When I first meet a pet, I take time to learn their normal behaviors and establish a baseline for how they typically act. If I notice anything that seems unusual or out of character, I promptly reach out to the owner to keep them informed. Clear, timely communication helps ensure the best possible care and provides peace of mind for pet owners. Above all, my goal is to create a safe, trusting, and compassionate environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
