House Sitting in River Gardens, Sacramento

“Great overall experience. Communicative with us about the status of our boys. Mindful of our house schedule (trash day, landscaping visits, garden watering, etc). Left the house better than we did.”

“Dustin came in the clutch super last minute and made it work for a quick overnight. It was the first time I left my babies with someone that I didn’t know personally. He sent all the pictures and updates I could have asked for. He was reassuring that my dogs aren’t monsters. I can’t even tell someone else was in my home. Easy to communicate with, punctual, dogs seem happy and I am very pleased with Dustin. Will absolutely book again, hopefully with more notice next time. Thank you!!”

“Cheryl was so wonderful to work with! She took great care of my pups and left our house exactly how we left it. I am so happy to have found a dog sitter we trust, highly recommend.”

“Andrea was so wonderful to work with. Very kind and flexible. We have two large energetic labradors and they loved being with her for a week. She left our house and girls immaculate. We really appreciated the photos and updates Andrea provided. Highly recommended and can’t wait to work together in the future.”

“Holly was so great! She took such good care of our home and two dogs. It was so nice to get away and know that everything was in good hands. 10/10 will use her again! Thanks Holly!!”

“Thank you Gabby for being so patient with me in the chaos of trying to head out of town. You are so lovely and patient. The girls love you so much. Thank you!!”

“Natalie did a wonderful job with house-sitting our 2 dachshunds while we were out of town. The pups said they loved all the attention, hugs, and kisses. The dogs are super spoiled so we are so happy they gave "paws up" for her care. Ongoing reports and photos were so appreciated!”

“Olivia was absolutely amazing! She stayed over at my home for a house sitting/dual dog sitting long weekend and I cannot recommend her enough! She sent pictures of my pups and gave me plenty of updated! She was great!”

“Kelvin’s love for pets is tremendous! He is kind, calm, very dependable and treats all pets with care and respect no matter if they’re his own pets or yours.”

“Kaitlyn is wonderful with my dogs! She handles my difficult dog calmly and makes him feel comfortable. I have complete peace of mind on travel with her there!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13. I grew up with a lab and became the go to dog sitter for friends, family, teachers, bosses over the years. I’ve done it all, even cats! I’m a grad student right now so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can fit pretty much any schedule since my classes are stable. Just let me know when and where you need me to be and I’ll make it happen. I’m in the top half a duplex so we don’t have a yard but we’re across the street from a big park so getting your pup out for fresh air won’t be a problem. When I’m pet sitting I usually check in during the morning before class and the afternoon for a longer visit. Both would include lots of walks and pets and playtime, but I’m happy to work my schedule around yours.

“Paige was incredibly communicative and very kind to both me as the pet parent and to our 2 dogs. She went at their pace and didn't push them (they are sensitive old ladies!).”

“Great experience! Sharon was incredibly attentive to my furry friends, making sure they were well-fed, exercised, and happy throughout my absence. I loved receiving regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It's clear that the sitter truly cares about animals, and I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received. I'll definitely be using her services again in the future!”

“Matt is a kind, compassionate dog lover. He has dog sat for me numerous times. My dog is elderly and requires extra attention and medication. Matt is attentive to her needs always. I highly recommend him to care for your dog.”

“India took great care of our pets and home during a quick trip to the Bay Area. She kept us updated with pictures and video which was greatly appreciated. We would certainly book with her again.”

“First thing to say - Alexis is reliable, which is a quite important quality if you ask me. Also, flexibility in arranging sitting time, great communication during her stay. And last but not least - our cat liked her during meet&greet, which really added to the decision to choose Alexis as our main sitter. Too bad now we are separated by the ocean, so arranging sitting with her became quite tricky.”

“Julie is a kind person my dogs took to right away. She arrived on time and cared for the dogs the way I had instructed. My home was clean when I returned and my dogs were happy. Julie kept in contact with me and didn’t hesitate to reach out if she had a question. I look forward to our next booking knowing my dogs are in good care with Julie.”

“Jada was on time, full of energy to take care of my tiny puppy. He’s only 4 months old, so watching him for over 8 hrs was a challenge! Jada accepted this and made sure he got plenty of outdoor play time. She really knows what’s she’s doing. Look forward to booking Jada again!”

“I highly recommend Samhain to take care of your furbabies! I've had Samhain watched my pets twice now and I definitely plan on rebooking any time I need a pet sitter! My dog and cat were both excited to see me when I got home but it was clear they got lots of love while I was away :)”

“This is long overdue. Hannah was very reliable and took great care of our two energetic pups while we were away. They absolutely loved her. She constantly updated us which puts our mind at ease while we were away on vacation. She is highly recommended.”
