“Words cannot express how amazing Erica was to my little cat Calvin!!! She took great care of him, kept me informed and went above and beyond to show my super shy cat some love! She is definitely going to be my go-to sitter and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Definitely would recommend!!”
“Patricia did amazing job checking in on Calvin my cat! She updated me and even took pictures. She made sure he had food and water! It definitely gave me peace of mind going on a trip I’m being away from him for the first time”
About: I worked as a professional dog walker and sitter in San Francisco in 2019. As a huge dog lover, this was a dream come true! I worked for a local company, Citizen Hound, and fell in love with every aspect of the job (and every pup!). I was responsible for two packs of 6-8 dogs who I would pick up/drop off and take for one hour walks every day. Typically these walks would be off leash, at the beach or a park, so I went through extensive training to receive my walking permit. Having grown up with dogs of my own, I understand that dogs are owner's babies, making sure to treat each dog as if they were my own! I sat many of the dogs in my packs as well as other dogs in the company that year. I have been volunteering at animal shelters for the past 7 years and therefore have experience walking a variety of dogs. I have sat blind and sick dogs, so I am comfortable with medications as well as other special needs (eye drops, IBS, separation anxiety, etc). When sitting, I love to take dogs on hikes or even to the dog park, with owners permission, to make sure they are getting exercise. I always update owners frequently and send lot of pictures! I miss all of the dogs from my packs and am looking to create new connections with both dogs and owners here in Sacramento. I would prefer to have regular clients, however I am also open to one time walks/sits. Although I am just getting started on Rover in the area, I highly encourage you to look up reviews for Citizen Hound to see the standard of care I expect of myself (: I’m currently enrolled in an online master’s program and am self employed, so my schedule is very open and flexible! I would especially love to help out during the late morning and early afternoon hours while owners are at work/school. My apartment is unfortunately not pet friendly, however I have experience pet sitting in owner’s homes. I have found this to be especially beneficial for dogs who like to stick to their regular routine and surroundings. I love taking dogs on adventures during our sits, with owner permission, and make sure to send frequent updates and photos!
About: I have taken care of many different pets throughout all my life, i like to care of all animals that people wanted me to look after. I've had the pleasure of looking after my family's pets, neighbors pets,complete strangers pets and my friends pets. I'm a student at a online college with a flexible school schedule, so i'll have plenty of time to look after and care for you furry friends.

I am very patient and compassionate so I’m very willing to work with pets of all personality types. I love big dogs, shy dogs, and all bully breeds. I’m also calm and considerate for nervous kitties.
“Lolita helped us with drop-in visits to feed our 2 cats while we were away for a long weekend. She was very communicative, sent updates and photos - made us feel like they were in such good hands! Definitely recommend and would request her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I also worked at a doggy day care so I know how to handle many different types of situations with high energy and/or aggressive breeds.

I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a very respectful golden retriever who grew up around an elderly dog. He loves to play and I am able to walk multiple dogs at once and my home has lots of space to play and stretch their legs.
“Madison is the most wonderful pet sitter EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job. We were gone for two weeks and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog and cat. The loving care was outstanding & gave us peace of mind we were on vacation. Thank you!”
“Macee did a wonderful job checking in on my cats while we were out of town for an extended period of time. One cat had a healing cut that I was worried about being unmonitored for so long. Macee was a great communicator before, during, and after her check in and sent numerous pictures to ensure that we were happy with her work and if she needed to do anything more while we were away. I will definitely be using her again in the future and will recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“Kristina is a great pet sitter! She is amazing with cats and even had our skittish boy coming out to say hello. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitters.”
About: I’ve had my fur babies since I was 9 years old and have loved every minute of it! I have bathe them, fed them and played with them and created an overall responsible and loving bond with them. I have open availability and wouldn’t miss an opportunity for a new furry friend.I have plenty of time for an adorable friend whether it is bathing or even feeding them. I have a fenced yard and two sweet dogs.I have plenty of space for them to run around as much as they’d like or to crate your dog if needed.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of many different breeds and sizes. No crate unless you are strict on your dog sleeping in a crate. If so, will need to bring your dog’s own crate. Fully fenced & gated dog park on the property. I am also available for pick up & drop off services within the Walnut Creek Area. I work from home which allows me to spend quality time with each of the dogs I care for. This quality time allows the to understand the dogs temperament and personality, creating a peaceful and safe environment for them. I have an apartment with a gated dog park where dogs can play and run freely and safely. Safety is always the top priority for me and I would never expose a dog to danger.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all different breeds my entire life. I can help with certain training reinforcements while they’re here if you’d like, and I’m also very experienced with providing basic medical treatments to animals for sicknesses, cuts, etc. I have animal specific IV bags, antibiotics, pain meds, ready to go in the very unlikely event that they’ll be needed. I also have a great relationship with a local mobile vet service. Please bring your own dog food, mostly to avoid tummy aches. Our pets are some of our best friends. In our household we treat them like family and enjoy all the time we spend together. Whether it’s spent lounging around or going on our daily walks to the store around the corner. We don’t consider it a chore at all, it’s simply part of our lifestyle. I work from home almost every day, occasionally work requires me to leave for a couple hours once or twice a week but in that instance my wife would be home watching the pets. They are our priority and we schedule around them!
