House Sitting in Penn Valley

“Nancy was amazing! She went above and beyond for our Ramsay boy. She made sure he was safe and secure. She played with him and loved him as if he were her own! We love Nancy and will be asking her to return again and again!”

“Was available at the last minute when our regular dogsitter had a medical emergency. Very caring for our dog and took her on long walks. She was happy when we returned.”

“Ash is solid and reliable per sitter. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She’s a caring person with an eye for attention to detail.”

“Ashley is very responsible, dependable and trustworthy. She has cared for our fur babies over the years. I can count on her to provide great care and treat them as her own. Highly recommend!”

“Simone is a responsible person that has worked for me on and off for over a year, as needed. She is an animal lover (big time) and I always know she will take good care of my dogs and they LOVE her. She has a good knowledge and has experience with more extensive care of animals through her previous employment. She has come in a pinch to help me out when whelping puppies: monitoring fetal heart rates, clasping umbilical cords, and getting them nursing. She has also come and walked my dogs on various occasions when I was out-of-town. She is very reliable, responsible with a bonus of having a lot of experience with animals! A win-win!”

“Amy was a great sitter, she was always on time or early. She had a great connection with my dog. She was a fun energy to have in the home. I highly recommend her. I look forward to working with her again.”

“Dayton is a compassionate animal lover who will provide any pet entrusted in her care with love and attention. She is reliable, responsible, and both you and your pet will love her.”

About: I have lived on a ranch in Wyoming most my life, where I learned everything about animals, including animals other than house pets. I have lots of animal medical experiences and know how to handle emergency situations. I have raised and rescued many kittens, dogs, and horses. Taking car and looking after animals is a very big joy in my life and I love doing it. I have a very flexible and free schedule, I usually have 1 class per day around 12:30 Mon-Thurs. I always have Fridays and the weekends free, and am free most afternoons and mornings. I believe in having a good schedule and loving environment is very important with my pets. I tend to spoil mine, they are my biggest and most important responsibility in my life. I always make sure I will be able to care of them and they will be okay throughout the day. Making sure my pets know they are loved gives me joy. I will spend a portion out of my day spending quality time with each of my pets, taking them on walks, playing, or just cuddling.

“Alex was so amazing staying at the house with my dog! She sent lots of updates and was extremely flexible when my travel plans were delayed and she had to stay an extra night. I will definitely be using Alex again!”

“Mindy housesat and took care of my golden retriever, Chloe, while we went on a 10 day trip. I was reluctant to leave my sweet dog for that long, but as it turned out, Chloe had the time of her life. MIndy was so consicencious, taking care of all my detailed instructions, pet allergy pills, etc. She and Chloe became best buddies as Mindy took her on daily walks, played with her toys, sat and watched Dog TV with her, and even let Chloe sleep on the bed with her. I received several pictures of Chloe while we were on our trip, reassuring me that she was being taken care of and being loved. When we got home, the house was in perfect shape and Chloe was delighted to see us. MIndy keeps in touch every now and then to ask about Chloe, because they bonded so well, and she misses her. I would highly recommend Mindy for your dog and house sitting needs.”

“Rita was very loving with our dog Rosie. She’s very mature and trustworthy but clearly likes to have fun with dogs as well. Her response time was quick too so I never worried about getting updates. If you’re tired of flaky sitters Rita is your woman.”

“Noah has always had a deep love for animals, whether they’re furry, feathered, or scaled. Noah treats every creature with attentive care, kindness and respect, whether it’s his pet or someone else’s. He can be trusted and relied upon to perform any task needed for your animal.”

“Zach was absolutely wonderful to have as a dog and house sitter. He went above and beyond in commuting from work to take care of our dogs and when we returned home, our house was cleaner than we’d left it. I highly recommend Zach for both pet and house sitting.”

“Nicole is professional, attentive, and has a huge heart for animals. She's taken care of my 1 year old puppy on mulitple occassions, and he always looks happy in the photos she sends me. She's the highest quality of person, and a great stand-in for Atlas when I need to be out of town.”

About: I started taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs after retiring in 2024. My lifelong love for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes is now my daily passion! As an active retiree, I don't have any pets currently, and the house is empty and waiting for my next furry friend! I've cared for everything from dachshunds to a Bernese Mountain Dog. I love cats, but I want to watch them in your home, not mine. Happy to house-sit, work overnight shifts, and care for senior dogs and puppies. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have miles of walking trails and parks in the community, as well as an electronic fence for any dogs that need unrestricted access to a yard. I am fully retired and spend my days caring for your pets. Rarely will your important pet be left alone, if at all. I used Rover with my senior dog, Tucker, for over 3 years and met some wonderful people. It was a relief to me when I traveled, knowing my best friend was also enjoying his time in a safe, loving home. Now I meet new animal friends every week, and it feeds my soul and theirs. Your fur baby will have a dedicated sleeping space, feeding space, and unlimited access to our yard, depending on your needs. Full access to the entire house. We encourage you to bring toys, pet beds, and any other items that will make your cherished pet comfortable. We are comfortable giving medication to older dogs, working with young puppies, and customizing our days to fit your pet's regular routines (such as walks, feeding, medication, and brushing). We have access to a private dog park, but we will only go there after discussing it with you in advance.

“We recommend Avalon and will be requesting to book her for any future pet sitting needs. She is a great communicator, our pets loved her, and our house was in great shape when we returned. She let us know when she arrived at the house and sent us pics of our pets. While we were gone our cat got into a bag of dog treats I left out and Avalon let us know right away and checking in to see if any action was needed.”

“Nyx, our exuberant black lab, had a great time with Jessica. She was able to run in the open space at her house and had walks. Our cat was snuggly upon our return, and was also well taken care of while we were gone. We will have her take care of our pets again.”

“I was so impressed by Elizabeth! Our dog Haley is a high maintenance, senior dog (15 yrs+) with separation anxiety, prone to having anxiety attacks when even one member of our family leaves for a few minutes. But with Elizabeth, she was comfortable upon first meeting with her, and then slept most of the time she was with her! Amazing. Elizabeth knows a lot about senior dog care as well as animal behavior and temperament and I feel she has a comfort level with animals that just draws them to her. I highly recommend Elizabeth and hope she can watch our dog again soon!”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Naomi as a highly trusted pet / house sitter! Several times we have hired her to watch our house and pets while we were away. She went above and beyond our requests and expectations. She is a responsible and respectful young adult. 5 stars!”

“Angelica is such a caring and responsible pet sitter. She loves dogs so much and they love her right back. While caring for our senior dogs, a difficult medical situation arose and she handled it with compassion and grace.”
