“Lindsay took care of our 16 year old cat for over a week. He requires medication twice a day and is very picky with his food, so we were a little nervous about leaving him. She did a great job, and they became friends almost immediately. She was reliable, responsible, followed all of our instructions and kept us updated during our trip”

“Justin was great with our dog! He quickly became familiar with his activity levels and he took him on walks and jogs, and gave him stimulating treats to keep him busy during the day/while we were gone. Justin took wonderful pictures to include in the daily check-ins, and when we checked our house camera we could see our dog laying by the door hoping for Justin's return, or he would lay at Justin's.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.”

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: 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.

“Five stars isn't enough for Maria! She took care of our German Shepherd, Husky, and our flock of chickens while we were away, and she exceeded every expectation. Managing two high energy dogs alongside chickens is no easy task, but Maria handled it with complete ease, professionalism, and care. When we returned, all of our animals were happy, relaxed, and in perfect health.Finding someone trustworthy who can seamlessly handle both large dog breeds and farm animals is rare. Maria is a absolute gem, and we will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommended!”

“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.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs for many years now. I worked in the field as an animal care assistant for almost 8 years and also babysat many dogs and cats during those years. I do have experience, but most of all, I love every dog as my own and I will make sure they are well-taken care of, safe and happy. I currently work from home and I have a flexible schedule. I have a lot of extra time to watch, spend time and play with your pet. I have a fenced yard and big backyard for your pet to roam around, play and burn some energy. I currently do not have any other pet of my own so your fur baby will receive lots of attention and love.

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.

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was ten, and cats especially are my specialty — I've raised them from kittenhood through their senior years, including hands-on experience with age-related health needs and end-of-life care. That depth of experience means I recognize subtle changes in behavior or health long before they become emergencies, and I'm comfortable coordinating vet visits when something comes up. What really sets me apart is how seriously I take the "sitting" part of house sitting. I don't just check boxes — I send regular photos and updates, keep the home exactly as I found it (dishes done, plants watered, trash handled), and treat every pet like my own. Past clients have described coming home to a spotless house and visibly happy, relaxed animals. For me, this isn't a side gig — it's a genuine extension of how I already care for the world around me. I work full-time, so drop-in visits fit best on Friday afternoons and weekends. For housesitting assignments, I'm available to stay overnight, giving pets consistent companionship around my workday for the full duration of the sit. I keep pets on their regular schedule—feeding, medications, and walks or playtime as needed—while making sure they get plenty of affection and interaction. I send pet parents regular updates so they can relax while away, and I keep the space tidy so animals stay in a calm, comfortable environment.

About: I have three dogs and a Cat that I take care of currently. I'm a big dog person and have always had the responsibility of taking care of my dogs even at a young age. I care for four pets at home every day. I give all of them plenty of love, playtime, walks, exercise, and regular feeding. I love animals! I make sure my pets have space to play, have fun, exercise, and also are able to stay safe as well as be happy, and comfortable as much as they can every day.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life since i was 6. Family and friends have always come to me for pet sitting and recommendations.

I currently work part time and have a decently flexible schedule. I’m available for walks and visits on weekends and weekdays.

I live in a 3 bedroom house with my mom and brother and we all love animals so your pet with be getting 3 times the love.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats all my life. All my dogs have been trained well and are very active. I walk my dog daily and love being outdoors. I have been dog sitting and dog walking for a few years for in app clients but I’ve been doing it my whole life. Our family has a golden retriever and a cat. The cat is indoor only and doesn’t prefer to interact with dogs usually. I work full time as a teacher but my wife (also on this app) works from home 3 days a week. I am off on summer break and have other breaks throughout the year. My dogs walks usually happen early in the morning or after dinner time. We play with and brush our dog and cat. We have a toddler who loves animals. We have a small backyard with grassy area. We have a nice neighborhood and walk dogs throughout. We live across the street from a huge park that the dog and child love to visit.

Gillian is an extremely dependable and astute individual, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment she met my pups, it was clear she truly gets animals, she’s attentive, patient, and so loving with them. She kept me updated with the sweetest photos and notes, and I came home to two happy, calm, well cared for pups. You can tell she goes above and beyond in every little detail. I had complete peace of mind the entire time and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend Gillian to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust!

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.
