“Alanna was wonderful! She spent time to actually interact with my cat instead of just filling his food bowl and leaving. She also noticed a hazard on one of his toys that had been broken and made sure it was kept out of his reach so that he wouldn't hurt himself. She was also good about updating me on his behavior as well as notifying me of packages arriving at our home. I am so grateful I found Alanna to watch my cat! Knowing she was watching him definitely made my trip away from home more worry free!”
“Amanda was amazing! I felt so relieved knowing that Max was in great hands with her, she was also very knowledgeable about the French Bulldog breed which helped me feel so comfortable in her care. Aside from her care, her vibe is immaculate! Would absolutely book again!”


About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience working in a veterinary hospital, caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and small mammals (pocket pets). During my time as a veterinary assistant, I helped monitor pets, administered medications as directed by veterinarians, assisted with treatments, and learned to recognize signs that an animal may not be feeling well. I’ve also cared for pets of all ages and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits, including potty breaks, fresh water, feeding, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of love and attention while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and compassion I’d want for my own pets. My schedule is flexible, and I offer dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, a walk while you’re at work, or care while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I’m happy to provide regular weekly visits or occasional care, and I’ll always communicate clearly if my availability changes. Feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times! Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. With over 6 years of experience working in a veterinary hospital, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that something may not be right, and I know how important it is to follow each pet’s routine and your instructions carefully. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or just needs a potty break and some company, I’ll tailor each visit to their needs. During every visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, positive experience. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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.

“Nestor is a one-person (ME! lol) cat and he has come to love Susan and looks forward to her visits. She is so patient and kind with him and respects his boundaries. Susan is the first person I ask when I need to go somewhere as I trust her 100% with my fur baby.”

“Marilyn was great with taking care of my kitty while I was away. She was honest and very straightforward, and was really good with my cat. She sent videos each day when she came out, which I really appreciate! Thank you!”

“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!”

“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 spent the past year interning at Front Street Animal Shelter, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and learning more about animal behavior, safety, and daily care routines. During my internship, I worked with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, which helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable handling pets with different needs. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I have an extremely flexible schedule. This allows me to be available from mornings through late afternoons on most days, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I always follow the owner's instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times. My experience at an animal shelter has taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in different situations, and create a low-stress environment for pets of all personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, attentive care.
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.
“Bethany is wonderful! She sent awesome updates and photos and my dog loved her from the start. I have a senior dog and she is able to tailor her visit to meet his needs. I would highly recommend her and have already booked her for two more trips!”
“Lance is always so good with my puggies! They are on the older side, so have more issues than younger dogs. He always accommodates and the dogs have a great time.”

“Marilyn was a wonderful pet sitter, extremely accommodating, trustworthy, and communicated with me many times before she came over for the Thanksgiving holiday. Loved getting the photos of Milo and how much he enjoyed her company. Would book again!”

“Alma was friendly and responsive, sending a report card with a photo after each visit. I have two cats, one social and the other who's shy with strangers and while my shy one didn't come out, which was expected, she still got treats. Thank you so much!”

Naliyah has been incredibly patient with my elderly and shy dog Zorro. She maintained a steady stream of communication with me when I was away on a work trip and she did a drop in every day. Also cleaned up the accident and mess my boy had caused without any stress or complaints. She's our go to sitter. You can trust her to be calm and patient around your pets.

Tierra is great! Our pup was well cared for while we were gone for a family function. I asked her drop in one extra time because we weren’t going to be back when I thought we were, Tierra was very flexible and accommodating. Will book again, highly recommend!

I had such a great experience with Annie while I was away on vacation. She took such amazing care of Ripley and paid close attention to every little detail, making sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. You can truly tell how much she genuinely cares for animals through the love and attention she gives them. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands, and I’m so thankful for all the playtime, care, and updates she provided. Highly recommend! Will book again!
Elizabeth visited my kitty on a very consistent basis every day and made sure that he had food, appropriate medications, fresh water and clean litter boxes. I loved the daily photo and comments and know she had a good time with my dear companion. I would definitely recommend her to others!

Thank you April once again for taking excellent care of my 3 cats. I was feeling very comfortable and at ease while traveling in Korea for three weeks. I was receiving daily videos and multiple photos as I have requested. April always responds to my questions or concerns promptly. I plan to rebook April again for my next Korea trip in September!!
Ashley is a dedicated and caring pet sitter! My cat loved her and got some excellent quality time and enrichment from her visits. Ashley showed up and sent updates and photos every day. She is also diligent about asking questions to ensure the best care for your pets. Highly recommended.

Kathryn is seriously such a life saver. I had a flight delay, and desperately needed someone to let my dog out. She saved the day by doing a same day drop-in visit. She was there within an hour! She is extremely responsive, and followed instructions with care. My dog Koala took a liking to her. I will be booking with her in the future.
This was our second time having Coryn care for our kitties, and once again she did an excellent job. Her communication is always great, and we really appreciate the thoughtful, detailed visit summaries she leaves for us. Our cats are clearly comfortable with her, and it gives us peace of mind every time. Highly recommend her services!

Brian took wonderful care of my girls while I was away again. It meant the world to know someone trustworthy was on top of their needs. He was diligent and communicative, checked in regularly, and gave them real attention. His updates, photos, and thoughtful communication about little matters along the way made it so much easier to relax. I came home to two very content pups and truly appreciated his care.
