“Krystal was absolutely wonderful with Max! She walked him mornings and evenings while I was away and sent great updates. Max is a sweet boy, but it always takes a special person to make him feel completely comfortable, and Krystal did just that. She is reliable, caring, and super easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Justin was amazing and the dogs were in good hands. First time using Rover and Justin did exactly what we needed help with. I’m very happy with how well our dogs were treated and how comfortable they were with him. Highly recommended.”

I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m insured and Pet First Aid & CPR trained, and I always aim to provide calm, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including senior pets, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, litter cleaning, companionship, and providing updates to owners. I serve the Pocket, Greenhaven, Land Park, and nearby Sacramento areas. English / 中文 I currently provide drop-in visits and dog walking services on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure each pet receives reliable, attentive, and quality care during every visit. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and comfortable experience for pets in their own home environment.

I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and reliable care during every visit, and I also provide updates and photos to help owners feel reassured.
About: I grew up with large dogs, rodents, and have owned many scaly friends. I befriend every stray cat I meet and I stop to help whenever I see a dog that's escaped their home and its safe to do so. I also used to ride horses when I lived in the country. Currently I take care of my thumbnail dart frogs and wish for more animal friends. I am currently unemployed but work on developing my own video game at home. When I am employed my jobs are exclusively remote. I like to go on an evening walk and sometimes I will be out of the house for a few hours at a time. Occasionally I might be out for the night but its generally about once a week or less. My home has a fenced yard, an atrium, 3 bedrooms and 2 living spaces. I also have an alarm system that is armed at night. I am happy to let dogs out in the yard and take them on walks. At my clients home I am happy to sit with your pets to keep them company and read a comic book, draw on my tablet, or play a game on my Switch.
About: I have been in the veterinary field for over 32 years and in all those years I’ve also been house sitting and I love it. I currently have my days free and I’m pretty flexible to do check ins and exercise. I’ll also consider doing sleep overs if need be. I watch over the animals as if they are my own. I never leave them unattended outside. I make sure the animals are very comfortable.
“Marisa saved the day for a second time. She's very professional and personable and does a great job taking care of our dog. Marisa is very good about little details to make sure your dog is safe and happy. It really gives you great peace of mind. She rocks.”
“Meredith came by for a meet and greet with Oreo prior to the actual day. My pup loved Meredith’s attention. She took him to the backyard for sunbathing, walked him nearby and also watered the potted plants and planter boxes in our backyard. We will be keeping Meredith in mind when we have need of her assistance.”
“Annie is the best! She’s been walking my 4 year old pitbulldog-mix and my senior terrier for the last couple of weeks, and they absolutely love her. Highly recommend Annie’s services. She is kind and genuinely in love with dogs!”
“Claire was amazing! Responsive and kind. Worked with me for a walk on short notice which was great! Ellie seemed to love her. Would definitely book her again!! Thanks Claire :)”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and my major responsibilities started at about 8 years old. I aided my own senior dog with her health issues as well as my neighbors dog who requires extra medical attention. I am well-versed in dog-breeds and the nature of these animals. I love all dogs and have always been the dog-walker for my neighborhood. I have experience with puppies and am comfortable with large dog breeds. This will most likely be my main job, as I am a university student returning home for the summer. I am super flexible schedule wise and can easily meet any expectations. I have a fenced yard and my own dog who is 10000% dog-friendly. I am used to crate-trained dogs as well as those who may need to be restricted in the house. They will have my full attention no matter the environment to ensure they are well taken care of.
About: We adopt and foster senior pups. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, size, breeds, and special needs. I am caring and attentive to all animals and will shower yours with love and cuddles. I have experience giving medications and feedings with dietary needs. I work from home so I am able to be a companion for your pup all day. Working from home allows me to be able to cater to your pups schedule with any feeding, walking, potty time, medication, and playtime routine. I have a fenced yard where your pup can run around or potty and a 10 year old lab/Sharpei mix that loves hanging with new friends. My neighborhood is a great place to walk around with your pup. I have a two story house, so if your pup gets anxious around new friends, I can always separate them while keeping them all inside the house.
About: Over the past 4 years, I’ve cared for several dogs for friends, family, and referrals, gaining hands, on experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and maintaining a calm, structured environment. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and communication, I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m patient and attentive, which works especially well with shy dogs, puppies who need consistency, and older dogs who need a gentler approach. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very easily into my daily routine, which means I’m always at home to give pets attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I have a very flexible and stable schedule that allows me to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship consistently. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Brussels Griffon mix who loves other dogs and enjoys having playmates. My home is calm, welcoming, and set up for pets to feel comfortable and safe. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, and any special care needs. In my home, pets are supervised throughout the day. The environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. I also provide regular updates and make sure each pet feels secure and well cared for.

Krystal was absolutely wonderful with Max! She walked him mornings and evenings while I was away and sent great updates. Max is a sweet boy, but it always takes a special person to make him feel completely comfortable, and Krystal did just that. She is reliable, caring, and super easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Hannah was amazing with my dad's dog mollie. Mollie is a cocker spaniel who needed medications and a walk. Since my dad was in his 90s, he could not provide this. Hannah was patient and flexible and the consistent meds and walks made mollie a healthier dog that provided great comfort to my dad in his final days.
Christine was an excellent walker for our dog Bella. She came over the day before to meet her, was exactly on time for her walk and sent to a of pictures even including some of our jealous kitty who doesn’t get to go outside! She was accommodating when I plugged in the wrong time and again when I had to cut my trip short due to my daughter getting ill. I will absolutely use Christine in the future!
Marisa did a great job with our dog Ryu! We made a fairly last minute request and she responded quickly and came over for a meet and greet the following day. She asked good questions about his behavior, we could tell she cared and wanted to be prepared. Ryu took to Marisa and she both walked him and played with him in the backyard, he loves tug of war. We’ll definitely hire Marisa again next time we need help with Ryu!
Justin is fantastic. I've used him twice now when surgery has prevented me from walking my dog for a few weeks, or when I had a house sitter who wasn't up to dog walking. Justin is prompt, dependable, flexible when we needed to be, and, best of all, my dog really likes him! You can't go wrong with hiring Justin.
Alexander did an excellent job walking my dogs, Rue and Reo. They were both patient and playful with them, which made a big difference in how comfortable and happy they were during each visit. It’s clear they genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and know how to handle different personalities. I also really appreciated how communicative they were with me throughout the process. They kept me updated during each visit, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Alexander to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.
Myishia walked our Diego multiple times this past weekend, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly communicative the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Her energy is so warm and sweet, and Diego immediately took to her. You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs. I was especially impressed by her philosophy of leading with kindness and giving back through the way she cares for animals. She didn’t just show up to do a job; she took the time to earn Diego’s trust, and it showed. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care. We will absolutely be using her again anytime we travel. Highly recommend.
Alanna is wonderful! She has taken care of my pets over the last 15 years, including two dogs and a rather difficult cat. Alanna has the knowledge and patience to handle all sorts of situations with animals, including giving medication. I am grateful to her and would highly recommend her for all pets!
