⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Annie B. did an exceptional job caring for my cats, Emperor and Empress. From the very beginning, she was attentive, reliable, and clearly committed to their well-being. What stood out the most was her flexibility and professionalism—she adjusted her schedule to accommodate additional days without hesitation and honored every commitment she made. That level of dependability is rare and truly appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands, and it’s clear she treated them with care and respect. I highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated. She absolutely deserves five stars.

About: Hi! My name is Yifang, but I also go by Yvonne. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and 5 years caring for cats. 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 carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, walks, and home access to help pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and reliable care during every visit, and I also provide updates and photos to help owners feel reassured.

Natalie was kind, compassionate, and reliable as a pet sitter. She cared for our senior cat for 12 days and took great care of him. We got updates at every visit and she took care of special requests. It was easy to communicate with Natalie, and we would trust her to care for our family pets again in the future! Thank you so much Natalie. ♥️

About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. My experience working as a special education instructional aide has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to provide consistent care. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I currently work at an elementary school for Sacramento City Unified School District. I have summers off so I have plenty of time for your fur babies! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine and individual needs so they can feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I provide plenty of supervision, fresh water, playtime, walks, and lots of love and attention. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I am happy to follow any feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests to ensure the best care possible. I have plenty of experience with pets as well as children, so I am extremely flexible and patient. I have excellent redirecting and regulating skills, as my training as an RBT and pet/babysitting experience has helped aid in those situations. I am not afraid to use myself as a physical barrier to protect your baby! Your pet is the priority, always.

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: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, turtles, hermit crabs, and more. I currently have a 7-year-old dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I have experience caring for pets from their younger years through their senior years, and I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m patient, gentle, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like family. I know pets are not “just animals” — they are someone’s baby. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’m also very understanding with shy, nervous, or older pets who may need extra patience and care. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be cared for as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me extra flexibility and a wider range of availability throughout the week. My schedule can vary, so I may be a great fit for pet parents who need help at different times of the day, whether that is an early morning visit, midday check-in, evening care, or more last-minute help when needed. Because I have a more flexible schedule, I’m able to work with a variety of routines and can often be available when others may not be. I know life gets busy and plans can change, so I always do my best to be dependable, accommodating, and there when your pet needs care and attention. For drop-in visits and walks, I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I know every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I take the time to follow instructions carefully, whether that includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, or simply giving them extra attention and comfort. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pet. I am respectful, dependable, attentive, and will always treat both your home and your pet with care. I pay close attention during walks, make sure pets stay secure on leash, and always prioritize their safety and well-being. My goal is for pet parents to feel at ease knowing their pets are being looked after by someone who is patient, responsible, and genuinely loves animals.

Lance is great with our dogs! The first day was hectic because our little dog is a nut job. The second day was much better. Lance is very kind and patient with our new puppy Xena and with our other old dogs. I'm very pleased so far with how he's interacting with them and they love him now. We will continue to use Lance on a weekly basis.

Mayra provided excellent care for our two little mutts. She was very conscientious and reliable with all her visits, and showed incredible kindness and patience to our doggies, who are very fearful of people, earning their trust and affection- they now ADORE her! For any puppy-parent who suffers from separation anxiety like me, Mayra can provide peace of mind knowing that she will treat your doggies as her own and go above and beyond to satisfy their needs, both physical and emotional. Thank you so very much Mayra!
