“Tanisha was fantastic with my dog Morty. My dog is reactive and nervous around new dogs, and she was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he would feel comfortable with her and her dog. We did a meet and greet, followed by a test overnight board and test daycare. It was incredible to see how well my dog settled in with her. You can tell she cares a lot about the dogs she watches. I got a lot of pictures and videos of my dog while he was with Tanisha (more than I've ever gotten from a sitter). I highly recommend Tanisha!”

“Daisy came home from doggie daycare with zero stress. Shera took her time letting our cattle dog learn to trust her. Lots of updates and our dog looked happy in Shera’s home!”

“Roy was awesome! He was flexible with pick up times and sent me a ton of photos during the stay. When I picked up my pup, he didn’t want to leave which was a great sign! Would definitely rebook :)”

About: I started volunteering at the Antioch Animal Shelter in the 4th grade. Since then I have volunteered at numerous shelters and rescues, including the emergency animal shelter in Oroville after the Camp Fire. I'm Disaster Animal Rescue Team (D.A.R.T.) trained, animal CPR and first aid certified, and have years of TNR experience. I have had many exotics as pets, including a reef tank at one time. I have no issue feeding crickets and worms, but I can't feed snakes rodents. I'm a lifelong vegetarian, so that would traumatize me. Lol. I also love rodents, and currently have 2 rescue guinea pigs. Animal care and nutrition are a passion of mine. I'm also an expert teeth brusher! I brush my cats and dogs teeth every night and some of my pet sits as well. I'm very experienced giving medication, even pills to cats and my recently adopted cat Ricky is diabetic. Two of my regular cats I sit take meds, and one gets insulin injections, so I'm very comfortable with both and also know how to check blood glucose. Animals are allowed on the furniture in my home, even the bed. A couple of dogs I regularly sit sleep in the bed with me and my dogs. I treat other people's furbabies the way I would want my furbabies treated. I'm a helicopter pet parent so I totally understand how hard it is to trust someone with the ones you love. If I ever thought something was wrong with your pet I would notify you asap, and I have no issue taking an animal to the vet. I have a rescue dog who has occasional seizures and a rescue kitty with kidney disease that I give sub-q fluids to every day, so I am very comfortable with special needs animals. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to pet care. I actually have a pet thermometer and carry a microchip reader in my truck with an extra leash. You'd be surprised how many times I've used that chip reader! Being a helicopter pet parent I NEVER EVER leave an animal outside alone, not even in my fenced in yard. I don't take chances. I'm also obsessively clean, so your litter box will not be a hot mess when you return, and if your dog uses a potty pad no problem. I also have waterproof vinyl plank flooring so accidents and kitty puke is easy to clean up. :-D. When I board animals it is very much mi casa esu casa! I'm also more than happy to water plants when I do drop-ins as well, since I have them myself and am also a gardener. :-) I work from home 3 days a week and the other 2 days I come home for lunch since the office is only 2.5 miles from my house. I'm home most weekends as well. I follow the care instructions to the letter. If your pup requires a crate it must be brought with them, since mine are not crated. I am comfortable giving medication and supplements, measuring food, following a raw food diet, feeding exotics, etc. I'm also comfortable grooming for an extra fee, but will never ignore a mat in their fur or charge extra for daily grooming like toothbrushing.
“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. He communicated regularly and sent photo updates, which I really appreciated. By the end of the stay, she seemed relaxed and happy. I’d definitely book with Matt again. Thanks for taking such great care of Mitzi!”

“We’ve booked Grisel several times and will continue to rebook! She has gone above and beyond to provide exemplary care for my Otter boy (lending him a doggy sweater when it’s cold outside and successfully flushing his eyes with his eye wash during allergy flare-ups). I can rest easy knowing that he is in her care.”

“Happy I found Martha to take care of Niko. She responds in a timely manner & very flexible with my last minute requests. She ask all the important questions to assure she provides the best care for your fur-child. My shy Niko and her sweet pup Misty got along really well hanging out for the first time. Niko enjoyed his stay with Martha & her family!”

“She was very patient and flexible with my ever changing plans due to weather and my commitments to be at a friend’s bday. I was not able to drop my dog off , but she was more willing to take my smaller dog in and cage him in a quiet room so he would feel safe. She also agreed to take him out for a walk. Due to the weather the same day we confirmed, but on the way cancelled and paid for the day care as this is her livelihood. We could have asked to cancel, but that is not what good pet parents do. They make sure people like Mrs. Achara are taken care of as well. I will use her in the future when we are in West Sacramento. Our dog is almost 15 and she was committed to taking care of him in the way we felt was best for him.”

“First time leaving Oreo with someone for the day . Admittedly, I was nervous , Anna resolved all of that , she was communicating through the day , Oreo was exhausted when I got him back which told me he had a blast ! I’ll use Anna again ! Oreo has a new friend !”

About: I have taken care of my own fur friends (cats and dogs) since time immemorial! I've had dogs both large and small, quiet and rowdy, and feel comfortable with caring for them all. From a young age, I helped to take care of all aspects of caring for the family's furry companions, and have done so for friends--both over the weekend and just checking in to make sure they have food, water, and companionship. I also adore cats! I've got one of my own, Cleo, who I adopted last year. I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats and understand them very well. I have a gentle nature that I think animals respond well to, and can gauge an animal's personality to find ways to best approach and care for them. My cat Cleo requires pets first thing in the morning, so that is at the top of the to-do list. After this, I ensure that she has fresh, filtered water and enough food. I work from home, so she is near me lots and enjoys hourly rubs. I also ensure that she stays active and mentally stimulated with toys and our version of fetch (me just running back and forth). She gets groomed at least 3-4 times per week, emptied box daily, and I frequently monitor her food and water intake and other habits (e.g. self-grooming) cause I want to make sure she's with me for the long haul! I am a very attentive, loving human companion. First and foremost, I ensure my cat has her most basic needs: food, water, clean litter. My cat had some issues with not keeping food down, so I did some reading and got her elevated bowls. If Cleo could talk, she'd tell you that when she was having issues, I was right there comforting her. Luckily, Cleo does not have a habit of eating foreign objects, but I ensure that the floor is clear of any string or debris that she could choke on, or that may cause her sickness. When I have helped out friends, I ensure that I follow their directions exactly as they are written, and if anything is unclear, ensuring that I clarify or follow up. It means a lot that someone would entrust their fur family to me, so I would treat their cat or dog with the same love and attention that I give mine.

“Davis was flexible and allowed us to drop off Beryl earlier. He seems to be enjoying looking after pets. Our initial meet left a positive impression and we’ll definitely book again if we watch another event around Golden 1 stadium.”

“Becky was amazing with our newly adopted fur baby! I had to reach out last minute and she was so willing to help. She took Daisy out for her walks and gave her her medicine and ointments as well as sent me updates throughout their day together ◡̈”

I got a lot of pictures and videos of my dog while he was with Tanisha (more than I've ever gotten from a sitter). I highly recommend Tanisha!

Caroline was very communicative and took great care of our dog, Millie. Millie takes a while to warm up to people and Caroline was happy to interact with Millie on her terms. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day which really eased our minds! I would book a service with Caroline again.

Kylie was the first person we chose to watch our puppy, Birdie, off rover and we are so happy with our decision. She's so sweet and updated us throughout the night on our pup which made us feel more at ease. We will hands down be contacting her again for future stays.

Kristen was amazing!! She took my last minute request for day care and took very good care of my dog Mochi. She was very nice and responsive, thoughtful of the way she introduced mochi to her dogs, and even proactively sent me tons of cute photos of Mochi. Would recommend !!

Marlene (and her pup, Paquita!) gave us such peace of mind while we were busy. They gave Chancho somewhere where he could both relax and have fun with another dog with his same energy level. They have a beautiful backyard that I'm sure he enjoyed very much! We'd highly recommend Marlene and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future. :)
