“Left my very big, very shy cat alone for the first time, and was a little anxious about finding someone to check on him. Payton was the perfect person for the job!

About: With years of experience in private and public pet boarding, I strive to uphold YOUR standard of love and care for your furry family member(s) while you’re away. While working part time at a daycare, coming home to care for my furry family members is a full time job. Although no two pets are the exact same in their care, I can assist in helping them stick to their regular routines while you’re away. Caring for pets in a clients home will be done in the same manner as they care for them while they are home. I intend to maintain regular boundaries and be consistent with rules that have already been implemented.

About: Hi! I’m Braunte, a proud part time dog mom, lifelong animal lover, and dedicated pet sitter who takes pet care to the next level. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old, including my two beloved Havanese, Miso and Jax, and a wide range of other pets from large dogs to cats. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I don’t just show up, I go above and beyond. Whether your pet needs a play buddy or a customized care routine, I’m your go-to sitter. Here’s what I bring to the table: • Years of hands-on experience with small + large breeds • Comfortable with senior pets, puppies, shy pets, and medical needs • Obsessive attention to hygiene: brushing fur, cleaning eyes, trimming nails, brushing teeth, and giving soothing baths • Administering basic treatments (infections, oral meds, topicals, etc.) • Long walks, fetch, enrichment play, or just some serious chill time • I’m totally cool with instructions—the longer the list, the better. I thrive on detail. • Happy to send regular photo/video updates, detailed notes, and follow your routine to the letter • Calm, nurturing presence pets trust quickly Outside of pet care, I’m a college student at Sacramento State majoring in Communication Studies and I’ve worked in marketing for over three years, often with organizations supporting unhoused families. My work reflects my passion for service and empathy, and I bring that same energy to how I care for animals. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only reliable and loving, but also tuned in to every detail, I’d be honored to care for your furry family members! Let’s connect—I can’t wait to meet your pets 🐕🐈💜 I am currently working 10 hours a week at my schools’s radio station at Sac State. Other than that, I have a very flexible schedule. In my home, pets are treated like family. I live in a pet-friendly, gated apartment community with access to a dog park. My one-bedroom apartment is safe, clean, and calm—perfect for pets who enjoy a relaxed environment. I share care of my two small dogs with my mom, so I have plenty of pet supplies, including a gate to help manage space if needed. While I don’t have a crate of my own, I’m very familiar with crate training and can easily accommodate it if you provide one. I’m also comfortable letting pets safely roam if that’s their routine. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and downtime closely to match what your pet is used to. In a client’s home, I’m extremely respectful of your space and every instruction you leave. I love details and routines—whether that includes feeding, walking, brushing, administering meds, cleaning up, or just being a calm, friendly presence. I pay attention to your pet’s comfort and cues, making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a stress-free, loving environment and always care for pets as if they were my own.

“I absolutely love booking Elizabeth! She takes such amazing care of my cats and truly treats them like her own. She’s incredibly thoughtful and attentive to their well-being, and her updates always give me such peace of mind. Elizabeth is super communicative, reliable, and always sends lots of adorable photos, which I really appreciate. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Highly recommend!”



“April was very thorough in communicating with me and letting me know how my dogs were doing. She was comfortable working with one of my dogs who is elderly, going blind, and will alert bark at new people. By the second visit it seemed like they were making good progress. I highly recommend. She went above and beyond. I am so glad to find someone I hope to rebook with in the future.”


“Markita was very communicative and kept our little guy safe and loved. Appreciate you so much!”


“Kathryn and her partner did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats. They were timely, thorough, and sent us the cutest pictures of their visits. If our cats had thumbs they'd give two thumbs up.”


“Scott was AMAZING!!!!! Very patient and very thorough. We will definitely book him again! Our dog is very protective and Scott was able to gain her trust and keep her comfortable while we were out of town. He is the best!”


“Russell was great. We all were very pleased.”


“Danielle was great! Super flexible and communicative. Knowing she was taking care of my kitties me feel less worried about leaving them for a couple days!”


About: I’ve had a long history of caring for family pets and ran my own little business for a year taking in strangers pets. Every family member or family friend always comes to me first when they need a sitter or someone to check in on their animals. I’m very passionate about this work and I love every animal I come into contact with. I’m comfortable with any size and any energy level. I’ve had a lot of experience giving medications and even some shots. Also open to exotic animals or non traditional pets. I’m currently unemployed and not in school so I’m happy to spend all my free time with your babies or as much time as you need me to. I make sure to keep my eye on them and keep unsafe things out of their reach or out of the house if I can help it. I watch them while they’re playing in the backyard to ensure that they’re safe and don’t leave the premises. I won’t leave them alone for more than an hour or two at a time to make sure they get sufficient potty breaks and don’t cause any damage to the house or other property.

About: I raised my late black-lab Akita mix from a puppy to 15 years old. I also cared for my late mother's 15+ dog until his passing. As an artist and streamer I am home nearly 24/7 and miss having a dog around for company but I'm not ready to own my own again after my old girl. I'd love to earn some money while caring for other pets who could use a little vacation. I will happily also sketch your pupper! I'm home nearly 24/7 and would love to start getting out a bit with the excuse of giving walks and potty breaks to dogs in my care. I have a quiet home (although occaesionally my roommate does practice on his drums/guitar but his room is separate enough) and I will be available all day for your pet's need. They'll be able to stay in my office, kitchen, or bedroom and have AC and Heating depending on season. They'll have access to leashed walks frequently. Water always and their food/treats according to your schedule and supply.
