About: With over 40 years of hands-on experience, this original dog whisperer brings a lifetime of calm confidence, intuition, and genuine love to every home and every tail wag. From energetic puppies to senior companions and special needs dogs requiring extra patience and attentive care, no temperament or situation is unfamiliar. Decades of working closely with dogs have built a deep understanding of behavior, health, routines, and the small details that make each pet feel safe and secure. As a trusted pet sitter for neighbors year after year, I'm known for reliability, gentle leadership, and the ability to step into any home and create an environment where dogs feel relaxed, understood, and truly cared for. As an early retiree, I’m fortunate to have the time, flexibility, and energy to truly devote myself to pets and the people who love them. Without the constraints of a traditional work schedule, I’m available on a consistent daily or weekly basis, allowing me to provide dependable, unrushed care and genuine companionship. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding routines, medication support, or simply being a calm presence in the home, I’m able to give pets the attention they deserve while giving their owners peace of mind. This season of life allows me to focus on what I enjoy most — caring for animals with patience, reliability, and heart. 🐾 I provide flexible, personalized care based on what each pet and owner need most. Whether staying in a client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment, dropping in for scheduled visits to handle feeding, playtime, and medications, or simply stopping by for a refreshing walk and some exercise, I make sure every visit is calm, attentive, and tailored to their routine. My goal is to maintain consistency, reduce stress, and ensure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away or busy.

“Thank you so much! I feel relieved that you were able to check on Ginny when he wasn’t feeling well.”

About: Hello! We are a family in Homecoming of Rio Vista,Ca with over 12 years of Dog/Cat sitting experience. We have 2 dogs of our own who are great companions and social with all dogs. We have a Sheperd Poodle Mix named Hershel, and a yorkie named Bruno who are super dog friendly and love to play. We also have aquariums with Tropical Freshwater fish. Safe to say we LOVE animals and would make your dog feel at home and loved while you are away. I worked Hotels for many years so I am accustomed to delivering great hospitality and will implement that in my dog sitting! I bake special fresh doggie treats and we live right by a paved "trail" with easy access for the dogs. We also have a large backyard for the dogs to play in as well. Your dog will also never go unsupervised. I ensure your dog will enjoy their stay with us and have a fun filled time. We accept all sizes, breeds and special needs! Feel free to contact with any questions and I will get back to you within the hour. Why I love dog sitting My husband and I have both had a passion for animals in general from a young age and have kept many pets such as hamsters, reptiles, etc. Dogs are really our main passion. We love being outdoors with them and learning about all the different breeds. The love we get back from the dogs we sit and the trust our clients have in us is absolutely rewarding. Meet my pets Bruno - Yorkie Hershel - Poodle Mix About my yard We have a very large backyard that is fenced in for the dogs to play in!We usually take our dogs outside to play fetch and run around every day for several hours. My experience administering medication Yes, we are, we have done this several times. We have always had animals in our lives. We have a passion for taking care of them as family and the best part of our day is spending time with them. We never cage our visitors to avoid stress. They are allowed to snoop and be anywhere we are. Our dogs are friendly and bring shy dogs out of their shells. We feed separately due to safety although our dogs are not food aggressive, some are. We have no toxins that dogs can get into, and they will never go unsupervised.

About: Animals are my pride and joy! I've cared for many different pets for about 15 years now. I grew up with cats, dogs, and many other species. Previously I've had a pitbull, and currently I have four cats! I also have fostered 12 kittens up to this point. I have already sat for dogs, cats, and bunnies. You can be confident that your pet is in the best hands and will receive top care, as caring for animals is my passion and pleasure:) Pet sitting and taking care of animals is my priority! Right now I only work part time but if anyone needs me to help out I’ll be there! I have four cats currently and I’ve had dogs.I’ve taken care of many other species and breeds for others as well so I am well versed in animal care. Whatever you need me to do as far as routine care I will do as well as give them all my love and attention. I can stay as many nights and days as you need!

“Dory was very attentive and loving for my pets :) She was on time and communicative, I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. She went above and beyond doing the little things for my pets that matter most! Thank you again!”

About: I used to have an auggie, which I sadly had to give away when we moved. He was very hyper and loved to play. I walked around the neighborhood with him, took him to the dog park - or played with him at home in order to tire him out. I am a college student currently taking online classes, I have plenty of time before or after class to take care of your furry companion(s) I like to make sure my own pets have a clean and comfortable environment, refilling and cleaning their food and water dishes as well as any litter. I also love to play with them and give em treats. I'll make sure to give your fur babies the same treatment!

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, fish, and other beloved pets — learning that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and lovingly care for their pets while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, active, and genuinely loved in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like family. As a gentle added touch, I’m also experienced in animal reiki, which I’m happy to incorporate during visits if welcomed by both pet and owner to help encourage relaxation and comfort. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are with love, warmth and care. I currently work part-time. I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available most days and weekends, including most holidays. I have a fenced dog-friendly where your dog can roam and play. I have a beautiful lawn and a beautiful tree lined neighborhood for long walks.

“Vanessa is a very clear, thorough, and knowledgeable pet sitter / communicator. She caught on very quickly to our instructions and went above and beyond in taking care of our animals. I would recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: Welcome to our profile! We are Des and Treo Bell! When it comes to pet care, our combined efforts are unmatched. Des has been raising stray cats for 14 years. Treo has been working at a pet care facility for 12. Together they have adopted two dogs, a cat and a bunny, with many more to come! We know a lot of pets require 24 hour care but some pet sitters might not be unable to give that due to schedule conflict. A problem we have taken care of by offering our 2 for 1 pet sitter special! We have lots of experience with different kinds of animals and temperaments. From chickens to lizards, we have got you covered! We also have lots of experience with young pups, senior dogs, giving medications and other varying special needs! Treo is an ASL interpreter for K-12 students, so she works during the day. Des is a security guard during the evening and an accounting student. Des takes care of the pets in the day time; morning walk, breakfast, a bit of playtime. Treo is home for the evening routine; dinner and cuddles. While we don’t offer sitting in our home, we don’t let that stop us from providing the best care in yours. We make sure to respect the space and leave everything exactly as we found it.

About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!

About: I’m Mani, and my daughter Indigo (9) and I are genuinely obsessed with animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs — you name it — so this isn’t new territory for me at all. We travel a lot and with it just being the two of us, having a pet full time doesn’t really work for our life right now. Rover kind of solves everything though — Indigo gets to stop asking me for a puppy every other day, and we both get to pour love into animals we actually care about. Your pet will be in a home where they’re not just tolerated — they’re the whole event! I’m available weekends, Mondays, Fridays, and Thursday evenings — so plenty of time to love on your furry (or non-furry) friends. Evenings throughout the week can be discussed. We treat every pet like they’re our own. At our place, your pet gets real attention — not just supervision. On walks and drop-ins, I stay attentive and keep to their routine. Growing up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs taught me how to actually read animals, so you can drop the nerves at the door.

About: I’ve always been around dogs and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and understand how important it is to treat every dog like family. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I already enjoy staying active and structured. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., so I’m available before and after work for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention and companionship. I’m also very organized and reliable, so keeping up with a pet’s needs and routine is something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. In my client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications if needed, potty breaks, and playtime while also making sure the home stays clean and respected. I give pets lots of attention, patience, and companionship so they feel less stressed while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos for extra peace of mind.

I’m patient with puppies (including basic training and potty routines) and gentle with senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive approach. I keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know your dog is happy and in good hands. My goal is simple: a calm, safe environment where your dog feels loved and you feel at ease. As a college student, I keep a structured schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan my days around pet care. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I make sure each dog gets consistent attention, walks, and playtime. Because I manage my time well, I’m able to stick closely to your dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

“Viktoria did a great job with Panko! She was communicative, kind, and took a ton of photos while I was gone. She even took the time to clean up some of Panko’s messes after he knocked some items over and brought up some packages that were delivered while I was gone! I would definitely rebook with Viktoria in the future!”
