About: I have worked with dogs, cats and even birds since I was 7. Most of my experience has been with dogs and have trained and cared for newborns all the way to full grown dogs. I am a full time teacher of kiddos and the patience and kindness required form that experience definitely translates to working with animals. While summer begins I would like to spend more time with the pups so if you need help message me and lets see what I can do! As a full time teacher, I am fortunate to have summers off so my availability is very open. Just message and we can discuss what works best for both. II will not be housing pets and would prefer to care for your pets at your home. I think allowing the pets to stay in their homes is preferred but may take special requests if needed. I would like to have a walk through and understand areas your pet is allowed and not allowed and information about local parks and walk routes. Please provide dietary needs and eating schedule as well. I like to provide pics and updates to the owners a few times a day, Any questions, just ask!
16. Marilee M.
“Thank you for taking great care of my puppy!”
17. Gigi T.
“Gigi has been great with my dog Boomer. He can be a handful when it comes to other dogs and squirrels and she always makes sure he gets the treats to him that I leave and sends me pictures which I love!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since i was 8 tears old and have cared for families’ as well. When I loved to the bat area for college, I have since then taken care of friend’s pets I work only on week days and have plenty of time to spend with furry friends on the weekends. I know parks around the area that would be great I have a great deal of patience with pets and am able to play with them as well. I would love to take care of your pet
19. Kristen V.
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a young girl. I have an immense love and patience for animals and communicate effectively with their pet parents. I've taken care of pets for family and friends over the past few years after losing my own pet I had for 13 years. I am respectful towards the pet, their owners, and the house loved by both. Currently I am available Monday-Friday from 9am to 6pm. I live in the Sacramento area and will drive as far as Davis, Elk Grove, or Roseville for pet care. If you or a loved one need a reliable, friendly, respectful pet sitter, I would be a great option. I tend to the animals as necessary through play time, walks, or feeding times on a schedule. I prefer if the dog is on a walking or feeding schedule to manage the time correctly for best benefit and safety for the animal.
