“Natalie was perfect! She was on time, professional, and resourceful—everything we were hoping for in a dog sitter for our very active dogs. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m a proud cat cuddler and dog snuggler with a super flexible schedule. Whether your pup needs a walk or your kitty needs company, I’m here to give them all the love, playtime, and belly rubs they can handle. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a pretty flexible schedule and free time. I will make sure your pet gets all the loving they deserve! Whether it’s a stay or just a check in, I’m here for them! When I stay in your home, my goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. I stick closely to their usual routine—feeding, playtime, walks (for pups!), litter box or potty breaks, and of course, lots of love and attention. I make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away, and I always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how they’re doing!
“Alexis was the best! We would totally recommend and can’t wait to use her again. She was so communicative and really went above and beyond. She sent updates, followed the instructions we left, and even washed and remade the bed before leaving. Brisket loved the snuggles and daily walks.”
“Piper was great with my rambunctious, one year old Doberman! He has a lot of energy and Piper didn't miss a beat taking care of him for my work trip! He was very happy to see her! Thanks again, Piper!!”
“Hayley is a sitter that goes above and beyond. She took care of my four animals with noticeable love and care and also went above and beyond what I have received from any other house sitter. My animals were so happy with her and I completely would book her again!”
“Matt was fantastic!! Our sweet pup definitely didn’t want him to leave after a fun day running around. Matt went above and beyond with communication and followed my instructions perfectly with my pup’s special diet. Matt even communicated the day before about the treats my dog likes/is allowed and brought our boy tons of treats and they spent some time running next to the lake! I mentioned to Matt that our boy has some issues pulling on the leash on walks, and Matt trained with Bak all afternoon and gave me a ton of tips for the heel command - INCREDIBLE! I couldn’t believe it, what I’ve been working with Bak for 5 years, Matt got through to him in his short stay. Really can’t wait to work with Matt again, I also REALLY appreciated all the photos, videos, and updates I got of Bak. I also asked Matt to water my plants while housesitting and my plant babies thrived under Matt’s care as well. Thank you times a million, Matt!”
“I can’t say enough about how awesome Jack is with our dogs and home. We went on a long trip internationally for the first time and he took care of our dogs and cat like they are his. He’s amazing. The home and yard were taken care of as well. I am incredibly grateful to know him and have him in our home. He’s caring of all. He goes more than an extra mile to take care of things.”
“We are so grateful to have found Erika! She is amazing with our dogs. She is very responsive and a great communicator. We could go on our trip feeling at ease knowing our dogs and house were in really good hands. It was a great experience from start to finish. Thank you Erika!”
About: I’ve trained and cared for many dogs throughout my life, from agility training high energy puppies, to senior canine hospice. I’ve been a volunteer with the ASPCA since December of 2023 and have deployed to their cruelty recovery center in Ohio multiple times as a volunteer kennel technician. I am currently working full time from home, which gives me plenty of time to give your pet the attention and structure that they deserve. I can stay overnight with your pet, or do daily check ins starting at 6 am. Any time I leave your pet unattended I will provide them with a safe form of enrichment to keep them busy.
“Danielle was great. She was very communicative and suggested a meet and greet, which was appreciated. I also liked receiving photos and updates during her stay. Danielle took Winston for a walk each day and ensured he also got his ball-time throughout the day. (A tired large puppy is a happy large puppy) She left before I arrived home - which was discussed and planned, no surprises - and before she left she even found a dog-related movie to put on TV for background noise. The extra attention to detail was cute and very much appreciated! I will definitely ask her to return. You can trust her to take care of your home and pet.”
“We are so grateful that our paths crossed with Julie! We were nervous to leave our almost 13 year old rescue, Layla for 5 nights when we traveled to the other side of the country. We had our meet and greet and we let Layla choose and she wagged her tail and sat right next to Julie for a belly rub within one minute! It is quite difficult to find someone who spends the entire time in your home pampering your pet and Julie is a very loving and caring woman. She is very reliable, punctual and will keep your home tidy. We highly recommend Julie. You will be glad to meet her and we are very thankful. Layla was in the best care. Thank you, Julie! We will hire you again when we need too.”
“Ally was amazing! Our pup scratched himself a little bit while we were gone so we DoorDashed some things to take care of him and she was SO helpful! She applied the ointment to the wounds and made sure his cone was on and secure so he wouldn’t scratch at them. She was very communicative and made sure we were updated the entire time so we knew our baby was okay! Will definitely be booking her anytime we travel!”
About: Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! I have been caring for friends and families dogs for a couple years now, but i had to make a whole new profile when i moved from out of state! Hoping to build up my clientele once again! Some services we offer: daily snacks and cuddles Potty time 3-5x a day Walks 3x-5x a day Hikes 1x a week (optional!) Litter box cleaning Regular house cleaning and maintenance while you’re gone (dust, vacuum, sweep, etc) Games of tug o war and fetch (depending on client preference!) Pictures and updatss for Mom and/or Dad daily! I treat your furbabies like they are your real babies because they are!

I would try to get the walk done immediately before the Sacramento sun gets too hot! My 13 year old daughter is gaining work experience for her resume and accompanies me to all house sitting gigs. She is homeschooled and ensures the dogs are always taken care of when I am at work. :) I strive to follow each clients instructions for the care of their pets to a T, and I send photos and videos often throughout the day to ease owners worries!

“I can’t recommend Mikhaila highly enough as a pet sitter. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares for animals as if they were her own.

Mikhaila is always on time, follows instructions carefully, and goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel loved and comfortable in her care. And that’s saying something, because my boys like to get up at 5am every day - and she still never complains. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly passionate about animals, Mikhaila is the one. She’s an absolute gem!”
