“Fantastic Dog Sitter! I highly recommend! She was very nice and kept me updated with adorable photos of my dog throughout the stay. When I picked him up, he was happy and well-cared for. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!”
“Danielle is amazing and I highly recommend her as a pet sitter. She was willing to work with my schedule and incredibly accommodating. She was prepared for literally everything and you can tell she genuinely adores animals. I love the shaded little yard and that my pup had someone to keep him company all day. Also great to know she can take care of basically any small animal, including my pet lizard! Absolutely will be a return customer.”
“Thank you Nelly! For watching our fur babies! Nelly was super flexible and communicative. We were running late and she was flexible with the timing. Would def use Nelly again if we are in the area.”
“Anthony is a very patient and understanding dog sitter that I would definitely recommend to anyone in the Sacramento area. I could tell he has experience working with dogs. His home is comfortable and he has a large backyard for dogs to roam around in. I was probably more nervous than I needed to be since my dog can be pretty reactive towards new dogs, but Anthony and his dog Millie provided a very welcoming and supportive environment for my dog. He also texted me update pictures that I really appreciated.”
About: Hi! My name is chynna (China), I know life can be expensive and I know my rates are higher. However please send me a message and I am willing to work with any budget! :) I've grown up with dogs my whole life, I work currently as a barber which gives me the flexibility to enjoy daily walks and cuddles with your furry friends. I come from a loving family who has always had a soft spot for dogs in our lives. There isn't a day I can't remember not having a pup. I reallly hope that I can look after your pup for you! I can guarantee you that your puppy is in great hands! I currently work part time and have more then enough time to watch and love on your animals. I have been doing so for the past 10 years and would love to help your loved one feel cozy when you are away! I have a fenced in patio, a close by dog park, and huge water bowls. If you would like your dog crated please provide a crate!
“My dog seems to enjoy the experience with this dog sitter! Great communication with pictures of him enjoying plenty of toys and a nice walk. Highly recommend for a fun and caring dog daycare service.”
“Probably should warn people more of the level of anxiety he can get, were generally never out of site with one another and very rarely does He get left behind. Thanks for your time, there was only so much you could do”
About: I’ve had dogs for the past 9 years. Anywhere between 2-4 dogs at a time. I currently have two dogs that are older and pretty tame now. I’ve cared for all sorts of dogs - energetic, dog friendly, not dog friendly, dogs that are afraid of people, old dogs, and young dogs. I have experience giving medications to dogs and caring for wounds as well. I mostly work from home and am usually around to let the dogs in and out. If I were to ever have to be in the field for work, I would either have that day marked as unavailable in my calendar or would let you know. I have a large fenced backyard with lots of grass and trees for the dogs to play in. I currently have two dogs that are older but enjoy going outside to either just sit and enjoy the sun or occasionally chase the squirrels that hang out back here. I take breaks throughout the day from work to hang out with the dogs and when the weather allows, take the dogs for about a 2 mile walk.
“This is the third time I have left my pup with Joel and he does a fantastic job. Joel is very flexible when it comes to pick up and drop off times. My pup leaves Joel’s very happy!”
About: Hi, I’m Martha! I’ve had dogs and other pets since I was about 8 years old. I’ve dog sat for friends which works perfectly since I am home full time. That said, I can provide your pet with specific needs — from several walks a day, playtime (which my kids with my supervision would be happy to oblige), and a lot of love and attention. I am a full time homeschooling mom with a flexible schedule and can offer a lot of time to spare to care for your pups! I have a fenced yard and dog-friendly home, a friendly pup to keep your dog company, and a loving family that would also give your dog lots of attention.
“Debra was so wonderful! I was in town for a wedding and she watched my pup from the morning until the evening when the wedding ended. Since I didn't have a car she even picked up and dropped her off. Plus she sent me photos of my baby throughout the day. Thanks so much!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid. I lived on a farm growing up and had tons of all different kinds of animals to look after. I started house/pet sitting for my parents friends in high school and have still kept up with it to this day. I have worked with animals of all age and size and can’t wait to look after your fur baby! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible so I have all the time in the world to play with your pet and give them all the love and attention they want! I have a fenced yard and a small dog who loves to make friends! We go for walks often and frequent the dog park nearby.
About: I truly treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience working with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who may need a little extra care and gentleness. I'm confident handling all kinds of temperaments and I’m great at reading a dog’s body language to make sure they feel safe and happy. Whether it's helping with leash training, administering medications, or just offering extra cuddles and slow walks for older pups, I go above and beyond to give them the comfort and care they deserve. I also love sending regular photo updates, so pet parents always feel connected and reassured. As a CNA who recently moved from the Bay Area, caring for others—both people and pets—is in my nature. I’ve always had a special bond with animals and miss having my own dog around, so pet care is something that genuinely brings me joy and comfort. Right now, I work midday shifts, which makes me available in the mornings and evenings—perfect for walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. My schedule allows me to give pets the attention they need before or after work hours, and I’m always happy to start or end my day with some tail wags and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest—because consistency helps pets feel at ease, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I take the time to bond with each pet, giving them one-on-one attention, lots of affection, and calm, reassuring energy. If I’m watching them in my home, I make sure the environment is pet-friendly, peaceful, and free of any hazards, with plenty of cozy spots to relax. I’m also attentive to any special needs like medication, senior support, or puppy training. Clear communication with pet parents is key—I always give updates, photos, and stay available for any questions or instructions.
“Kristine is an amazingly kind and caring sitter. She is always helpful and often available on short notice. She has been a life saver multiple times. I can go to work with peace of mind knowing my Eve is taken care of exceptionally well.”
“This was Mitzi’s first time staying with Matt, and it went really well. She was a little nervous at first, but Matt was patient and made her feel comfortable. He communicated regularly and sent photo updates, which I really appreciated. By the end of the stay, she seemed relaxed and happy. I’d definitely book with Matt again. Thanks for taking such great care of Mitzi!”
“I reached out to Becky for daycare services for 6 day to look after my very energetic golden retriever! We met up and did a meet and greet, she was very sweet and welcoming of both myself and my pup, asked if there was anything to be mindful of or aware. That made me comfortable as an owner that she was reaching out to provide support and comfort before the actual days of daycare sitting. Over the last 6 days of daycare with Becky, my puppy always was so happy to see her and bonded with her right away (literally running to the front door lol). Becky would constantly send photos of my pup and tell me how the day has been going, putting me at ease while I was occupied with internship and school trainings. Today marks our last day with Becky and I can safely say Becky is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone. She truly cares about your pup like it’s her own and very patient and understanding of how early the drops off were and my unpredictable schedule. Thank you Becky! 💕🐾”
“My dog, Mitzi, did so well with Veronika. Veronika was very communicative, responding promptly to my questions and sending updates with photos and videos. I was impressed with how well Mitzi adjusted to Veronika and how much she enjoyed their walks. I would recommend and definitely book Veronika again!"”
