“Fantastic Dog Sitter! I highly recommend! She was very nice and kept me updated with adorable photos of my dog throughout the stay. When I picked him up, he was happy and well-cared for. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!”
About: What sets me apart is being home full-time to provide constant companionship, plus having a friendly French bulldog who's great with other dogs for socialization and play. My two teenage boys absolutely love pets and will provide even more attention and interaction throughout the day. My securely fenced yard gives pets plenty of safe exercise space, and I have specific experience with French bulldogs and brachycephalic breeds, including understanding their special needs around breathing, temperature, and exercise limits. This knowledge also helps me provide attentive care for senior dogs or pets with special requirements. Pet care fits seamlessly into my family's routine. I start with morning walks and feeding, then take natural breaks throughout the day for quick walks or play sessions, I provide pet care in both my home and clients' homes, depending on what works best for each pet and family. In my home, I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can play safely and get plenty of exercise. My friendly French bulldog loves having companions and is great with other dogs, so visiting pets get both human attention and canine socialization.
“Danielle is amazing and I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She was willing to work with my schedule and incredibly accommodating. She was prepared for literally everything and you can tell she genuinely adores animals. I love the shaded little yard and that my pup had someone to keep him company all day. Also great to know she can take care of basically any small animal, including my pet lizard! Absolutely will be a return customer.”
“Thank you Nelly! For watching our fur babies! Nelly was super flexible and communicative. We were running late and she was flexible with the timing. Would def use Nelly again if we are in the area.”
“Anthony is a very patient and understanding dog sitter that I would definitely recommend to anyone in the Sacramento area. I could tell he has experience working with dogs. His home is comfortable and he has a large backyard for dogs to roam around in. I was probably more nervous than I needed to be since my dog can be pretty reactive towards new dogs, but Anthony and his dog Millie provided a very welcoming and supportive environment for my dog. He also texted me update pictures that I really appreciated.”

About: I’ve had dogs for the past 9 years. Anywhere between 2-4 dogs at a time. I currently have two dogs that are older and pretty tame now. I’ve cared for all sorts of dogs - energetic, dog friendly, not dog friendly, dogs that are afraid of people, old dogs, and young dogs. I have experience giving medications to dogs and caring for wounds as well. I mostly work from home and am usually around to let the dogs in and out. If I were to ever have to be in the field for work, I would either have that day marked as unavailable in my calendar or would let you know. I have a large fenced backyard with lots of grass and trees for the dogs to play in. I currently have two dogs that are older but enjoy going outside to either just sit and enjoy the sun or occasionally chase the squirrels that hang out back here. I take breaks throughout the day from work to hang out with the dogs and when the weather allows, take the dogs for about a 2 mile walk.
“This is the third time I have left my pup with Joel and he does a fantastic job. Joel is very flexible when it comes to pick up and drop off times. My pup leaves Joel’s very happy!”
“Debra was so wonderful! I was in town for a wedding and she watched my pup from the morning until the evening when the wedding ended. Since I didn't have a car she even picked up and dropped her off. Plus she sent me photos of my baby throughout the day. Thanks so much!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid. I lived on a farm growing up and had tons of all different kinds of animals to look after. I started house/pet sitting for my parents friends in high school and have still kept up with it to this day. I have worked with animals of all age and size and can’t wait to look after your fur baby! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible so I have all the time in the world to play with your pet and give them all the love and attention they want! I have a fenced yard and a small dog who loves to make friends! We go for walks often and frequent the dog park nearby.
About: I truly treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience working with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who may need a little extra care and gentleness. I'm confident handling all kinds of temperaments and I’m great at reading a dog’s body language to make sure they feel safe and happy. Whether it's helping with leash training, administering medications, or just offering extra cuddles and slow walks for older pups, I go above and beyond to give them the comfort and care they deserve. I also love sending regular photo updates, so pet parents always feel connected and reassured. As a CNA who recently moved from the Bay Area, caring for others—both people and pets—is in my nature. I’ve always had a special bond with animals and miss having my own dog around, so pet care is something that genuinely brings me joy and comfort. Right now, I work midday shifts, which makes me available in the mornings and evenings—perfect for walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. My schedule allows me to give pets the attention they need before or after work hours, and I’m always happy to start or end my day with some tail wags and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest—because consistency helps pets feel at ease, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I take the time to bond with each pet, giving them one-on-one attention, lots of affection, and calm, reassuring energy. If I’m watching them in my home, I make sure the environment is pet-friendly, peaceful, and free of any hazards, with plenty of cozy spots to relax. I’m also attentive to any special needs like medication, senior support, or puppy training. Clear communication with pet parents is key—I always give updates, photos, and stay available for any questions or instructions.

“This was Mitzi’s first time staying with Matt, and it went really well. She was a little nervous at first, but Matt was patient and made her feel comfortable.

Thanks for taking such great care of Mitzi!”
