Cat Sitting Rio Linda

About: Hi, I'm Stacy! Dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for a huge variety of breeds—from powerful and energetic pups like Dobermans and Pit Bulls to speedy Greyhounds and tiny Yorkies. I understand that every dog has a totally unique personality and requires a tailored approach, whether they need confident leadership, gentle patience, or just endless belly rubs. Currently, my home is run by my two amazing boys: Winston, a sweet Cocker Spaniel/Shih Tzu mix, and Pablo, my big, goofy rescue hound mix. I am very accustomed to strict feeding routines and prepping home-cooked meals, specific vegetables, and daily supplements. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, allergies, or a highly specific diet, I will follow your instructions. Whether your dog is a tiny senior looking for a quiet cuddle or a big, goofy rescue needing confident handling and long walks, I can't wait to meet them! I’m currently completing my degree, which gives me a highly flexible daily schedule and plenty of free time. I am available to drop in most days at almost any time, whether your pets need an early morning breakfast, a midday walk, or an evening play session. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I am highly comfortable managing medical needs and have hands-on experience administering daily injections for sick rescue kittens. I bring the same level of discipline and alertness from my military career to pet care, ensuring strict adherence to any medication or specialized dietary instructions you leave. I always maintain a calm environment and stay hyper-vigilant during walks or drop-ins so you can have complete peace of mind.

“Ashley really came through for us on short notice after we moved into a new city. Glad to say we plan to work with her in the future. She was a delight to interact with and the cats loved her. Set a good schedule that she followed and gave us great daily updates while we were out of the country. Very trustworthy and was great also for helping keep an eye on the house.”

About: Ive taken care of many different animals since I was young, I have prior sitting and walking experience with family members and friends as clients. I am a gentle animal lover and genuinely care about your animals well being and happiness! I am currently working at a part time job at the mall, I don't get many hours so I have an open schedule to take care of your animals! I will always make sure you as the client tell me details about your home area so I can make sure i can apply those limitations into the pet care I provide. I will never disrespect your space or your fur baby.

About: I have cared for many dogs in my life from all different sizes and ages and conditions, from new born to 100lbs+ dogs to elderly dogs. I currently own 2 Dobermans, one male and one female .My female dobbie is well trained and expecting her 2 litter. My male dobbie is only 1 years old and is getting the hang of things when it comes to his training so when it comes to it I’m well experienced in handling big and heavy strong animals. I also own a puppy lab and a kitten, they get along well with each other and it’s all day fun but also very high maintenance at this age but very rewarding. I love to Surround my self with all animals! Since I own Dobermans, they are very high maintenance and need lots of attention and love lots of outdoor time, I take them on daily walks or hiking and on runs so I’m very use to extreme exercise with my dog for many hours and under different weather conditions. How I care for my dogs at home is having a fenced yard and make sure they are healthy to what I feed them to there vet check ups and there baths and even nail trimmings and deep ear cleaning and of course there daily exercise which could be playing with the ball or going on a walk or even running or interacting at the dog park.

“Zetta, is simply the best! Professional, trustworthy, and genuinely caring, they provided outstanding care for our cat while we were away. We loved receiving updates and photos, and our cat was happy and relaxed when we returned home. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone needing pet care.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 10 years old, starting with my own family dogs and being responsible for feeding them, letting them out, playing with them, and making sure they were taken care of while I was home. As I got older, I started pet sitting for friends and family and eventually for people I didn’t know personally as well. I’ve also helped my friend Jade with her pet-sitting clients and have watched pets for a previous manager. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, overnight care, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I typically work morning shifts and am usually done with work by 12pm at the latest, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the afternoon and evening for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and overnight care. My schedule can vary week to week, but I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I want your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love.

“Stephanie was so great with our kitties!! Very attentive and consistent with sending photos, asking questions, and made sure to check all items on the checklist while still setting aside play time with our babies 🙂 We will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 12 years and have experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Growing up, my family had Pekingese and Pitbulls, and I loved walking and caring for them. I recently cared for a Yorkie puppy who was learning to potty train and needed consistent practice with basic commands and tricks. I currently have two cats of my own, and friends, relatives, and neighbors have often trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped my aunt care for a pregnant cat and her foster kittens, including feeding, cleaning, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I’ve also read extensively about why cats may be nervous or afraid of strangers and how to approach different cat personalities in a calm and respectful way. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. ❤️ I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays after work, as well as weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and treat every home with care and respect. For drop-in visits and walks, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet has everything they need. I’m also happy to take extra time to help shy or nervous pets feel comfortable with me. I’m happy to also take extra time to play with your pet if they feel comfortable to.

“Thank you, Marissa, for watching peach while I was away. Despite the last minute request, she was available and conveniently close by. Since this was the first time having her watch peach, we met beforehand so peach could meet her and I could explain care instructions. I could tell from the photos that peach was happy in her care.”

“Jeremy as always did a great job with my kitties. Sooo glad I picked him. I only needed him to come and feed my kitties and he actually did more. He took pictures, checked and cleaned the litter and checked to make sure there were enough water for them and also played with them to keep them company for a little bit. My kitties are normally shy and afraid to come out, but they were not afraid to come out and said hello to him. That warms my heart to know they're comfortable with him🥰.”

About: Not only have I grown up with large dogs for the past 23 years, but I have also consistently pet sat for families in need of a loving and reliable sitter. I’m the type of person who has to stop and say hello to every dog I see, so caring for furry friends is something that comes naturally to me! I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Although I do not train animals, I do have experience in providing oral medication as well as walks, feeding, and love! I’m currently in a transition period and taking a gap year, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for pet sitting! While my schedule varies, I have a very open and adaptable availability and can often accommodate different scheduling needs. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it my priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while making sure they are fed, exercised, and cared for according to your instructions. I also treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own!

“Liz is amazing! My cats absolutely love her, and I really appreciate how flexible and reliable she is. Always a great experience when we book with her!”

About: I have taken care of a plethora of different animals for my family members, neighbors and friends. I have watched dogs for hours or weeks at a time. I am especially good with active animals that need attention. I am currently working part- time at a coffee shop so my morning start bright and early at 4am. I am normally home by 12 at the latest and am able to come home on my lunch break to take your pets out. After 12, I am completely free to take your pets on walks or just snuggle up to them on the couch. I am very comfortable around animals and can adapt to what they need. While I do not have a fenced yard, I live in a beautiful neighborhood that is more than friendly for walks. I also love to play with animals and give them attention, but know that they need their personal time as well. Whatever your animals needs, I can do!

About: I have hands‑on experience caring for pets of all personalities, and I’m especially good with shy or sensitive animals who need extra patience. I read body language well, move gently, and create a calm environment where pets feel safe and understood. I follow routines carefully, handle feeding and litter/crate care confidently, and tailor my approach to each pet’s emotional needs. I also send clear updates and sweet photos so you always feel connected to your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, loving, princess‑level care that keeps every animal comfortable and every owner at ease. I work best with fast-paced short shifts, I prefer flexible work and thrive independently. And pet care fits right into that for me. Also I love animals more than people. I care for pets in a way that keeps them comfortable, safe, and completely at ease whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and cozy environment where pets can relax, explore, and feel secure. I follow their routines closely, offer gentle companionship, and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and quiet comfort. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain their pet’s normal schedule, and keep everything consistent so the animal feels safe and stress‑free. I move softly, communicate clearly, and tailor my care to each pet’s personality. My goal is always the same: to make every pet feel like royalty and every owner feel completely confident while they’re away.

“Would recommend Taviana to absolutely everyone. She was so good with my cats and they loved her. She was punctual and even went above and beyond to get my Frankie a toy to celebrate his birthday. We will definitely be booking her every time we go out of town!”

Elizabeth E.

About: I'm a recent UC Davis Animal Science graduate and aspiring veterinarian with years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical histories. My background spans several areas of veterinary medicine—I've had hands-on clinical experience in oncology, emergency medicine, and surgery at the UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, alongside extensive involvement in community veterinary clinics, student-run programs, and animal shelters. Years of working directly with animals across a variety of settings have given me invaluable firsthand insight into their behavior and body language, including how to recognize signs of stress, respect boundaries, and adjust my approach to each animal's comfort level. Beyond the scrubs and textbooks, I'm simply someone who loves meeting new pets, learning their personalities, and finding ways make their days a little brighter until their favorite person returns. If I'm not working with animals, there's a good chance I'm looking for them elsewhere—usually birdwatching, hiking, or wandering around the Sacramento Zoo with a pair of binoculars! My current schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week and on weekends. I know that life doesn't always go according to plan, so I'm also happy to help with last-minute bookings, unexpected schedule changes, or urgent pet-care needs whenever possible. Whether you need a regular helping hand or someone to step in on short notice, I'd love to help! My veterinary and animal-handling experience has taught me the importance of consistency, attentiveness, and recognizing even subtle changes in an animal's behavior or comfort level. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines, following instructions carefully, and minimizing unnecessary stress, and entering every home with respect and care. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate individualized exercise and enrichment needs, from leisurely walks to more active outings with prior approval. I take safety seriously and will always consider each pet's health, temperament, and physical abilities before planning activities. I'll also keep you informed with regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care.

“Kay is wonderful! Super communicative, kind, and trustworthy. Best compliment for a pet sitter is when the pet is barely excited to see their owner when they return because they were so well loved, and my cat had obviously been given great care and attention from Kay and was totally normal and regulated when we got home. Thanks so much for everything, Kay!!! Toaster and we appreciate you!!”
