Jordan did an excellent job watching my house and pets. He’s detail oriented, very kind, and my pets liked him. The job was 5 days long and my house was in fantastic shape when I came home. I highly recommend Jordan and hope he can come back again to watch my pets and house.

Matias filled in last-minute after our original sitter had an emergency. Matias was great with the dogs and the house. He was responsive every time we checked in and kept us updated on everything that came up while we were gone. One of our dogs is/was a puppy (10 months) at the time of the sit and Matias was very good natured about her puppy behavior. The dogs seemed to like him. He did a great job with walks and getting them out for play time in our yard. The dogs were on a special diet at the time of the sit and Matias had to play home chef to the dogs. He did great. We came home to a clean house and happy, healthy dogs. We’d definitely recommend Matias.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am 52 years old and began walking my neighbors' dogs and housesitting for friends. When I lost my soulmate Layla after 14 years, I found a big void in my life. Being around animal energy is so fulfilling for me. This is when I decided to offer my love to others fur babies. I feel an immediate connection when meeting my new friends, I look forward to meeting your loved ones! I recently moved to Lake Wildwood from Martinez where I had built up quite a clientele. I work remotely which gives me ample flexibility for play time, potty breaks, cuddles and exercise. I love having company when working. I am told I am a wonderful houseguest as I have so much respect and honor the responsibilities of being a guest in your home. I will leave your home exactly as you left it. I work in the Fitness Industry so your pup is in good hands whether they need a short stroll or a long hike!

Jillian is very friendly, cooperative and communicative. She kept me informed throughout the day to reassure me that my dogs were fine. Because she did this, I could relax knowing my dogs were in good, caring hands for 8 days. She cleaned my house and took extra care to make sure she followed instructions properly.

About: Not only do I have 10 years of experience of pet sitting, I have experience working with shelter dogs. I’ve been with Placer SPCA as a volunteer for many years. I work with fearful, excitable, shy and even reactive dogs on a weekly basis. I make sure to give them the best care I can provide. I have plenty of free time and my shelter schedule is very flexible! I spend most of my time caring for pets or working with animals. I am someone that you can contact last minute for pet sitting! I will make sure that your pet gets all the love, care and attention your best friend could possibly need. I provide mostly overnight care, in which I make sure your pup is cared for in the same way you do every day. Building trust is very important to me, I’ll make sure to send pictures of your dog (or other animals) along with a report of how they are doing and any other info you may need.

About: I’ve had and cared for a small range of animals my entire life. We’ve always had some combination of dogs, cats and birds for as long as I can remember. I work as a teachers aide during the day but that certainly leaves me plenty of time to care for your pets needs. Any weekday I can be available after 3pm I will diligently follow any and all instructions to ensure the safety of your pet! I have an endless amount of patience and will be happy to accommodate any way that I can.

About: I got my first dog when I was six, and growing up he was my best friend. I also had lizards, birds, fish, frogs, hamsters, and cats! Ever since then, I have always been passionate about helping dogs and other animals. I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all sizes and ages, and now I want to make this passion my work. My favorite part about taking care of dogs is walking them. I have a Border Collie and know how to handle hyper and active dogs. I have experience taking care of disabled pets as well- I had a small dog that used a wheel chair for years and lived a happy life. All of my friends and family call me first when in need of a pet sitter because they know I'm capable and that I truly care. Whether you need walking, bathing, feeding, or someone to assist with your special needs pet, I have done it all and would love to help! I am available to walk your dog and take care of your pets any day of the week. So send me a message and I will respond quickly! First, I ask pet owners if there are any requirements or concerns to be aware of when I am entering their home to care for their pet. In addition, I always like to know what treats or activities their pets enjoy. For example, during an appointment, I will often greet pets with their favorite treat, check if they need water, take care of any potty or medical needs, and stimulate them with their favorite activity! Before leaving, I make sure I have performed all required tasks requested by the client.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid, and even had the opportunity to volunteer at a boarding place when I was 8 where I got to play with, help train and take care of the dogs that came through. I’ve being pet sitting for about 3 years now for friends, neighbors, and strangers I’ve met through others I have previously pet sat for. I’m currently a full time college student and have been needing some extra money to help me get through, so I thought this would be a perfect fit! I have a large fenced yard with two dogs and two cats who my family and I love dearly. One of our cats was actually a pregnant stray who we brought in, and had a litter of 7 kittens!
