“Josh was very responsive to emails and going over details about care for both my dog and home. He seemed to be very conscientious and responsible - two nice characteristics.”

“Mindy was the best! I never had to worry about anything and she was great about sending check ins and photos the entire trip. She left our house completely spotless and even washed the sheets. I would absolutely use Mindy again!! 10/10!!”

“Coral was fantastic with our dogs and cat- they loved her! She took great care of them and our home while we were away. She is everything we were looking for in a pet sitter- warm and kind, responsible, excited to have fun with our animals, and great at keeping us updated and informed throughout her time at our house. We appreciate her and look forward to having her sit for us again soon!”

“Robyn is fantastic! She took the time to get to know us and our dogs before the stay. She house and dog sat for us for 12 nights. She communicated every day and often, which is my preference. I love my fur babies and it’s hard to be away. Robyn did a wonderful job and the dogs adore her! Robyn also cleaned house and did the laundry- even though that wasn’t a requirement for us. She went above and beyond!! I highly recommend Robyn.”


About: I have been a dog sitter / all animal sitter practically my whole life. I grew up on a farm where I took care of alpacas and llamas and chickens. I also have always had dogs in my life and recently adopted a 1.5 month old puppy a year from The Humane Society. I also have experience in dog training if that helps as well! I love all animals and can’t wait to meet you and your bestfriends!! I work full time but have an extremely flexible schedule and can help out usually whenever it’s needed! I am happy to house sit as well if you go on a vacation or just a weekend getaway! Overnights works well too! I have a fenced in yard at my house if they ever need to come over but I can ensure I will always keep your pets safe. I have always been so worried to hire someone to care for my puppy so I decided to join so I can be the one you can trust.

About: I’ve cared for animals of all sizes since I was young and have always had a natural connection with pets. Friends and family regularly trust me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their animals. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Because my sister is allergic, I haven’t been able to have pets of my own, which makes caring for others’ pets even more special to me! As a college student, I maintain a structured schedule and plan ahead to ensure I can give each pet my full attention. I’m especially flexible on weekends and work closely with pet parents to accommodate their needs whenever possible. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. When caring for pets in your home, I follow all instructions closely, ensure doors and gates are secure, and stay attentive on walks. I treat every home with respect and send regular updates so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Sierra take care of my two dogs, Louis and Saint, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Sierra demonstrated exceptional communication skills, keeping me updated on how Louis and Saint were doing throughout their time with her. This level of attentiveness truly put my mind at ease, knowing that my dogs were in capable and caring hands. Sierra's love for animals is evident in the way she interacts with them. Louis and Saint immediately took a liking to her, which is not always the case with new people. She has a natural ability to make them feel comfortable and loved, which speaks volumes about her dedication and passion for pet care. Moreover, Sierra went above and beyond to ensure that all of their needs were met. Whether it was their feeding schedule, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, she made sure that Louis and Saint were happy and well-cared for. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for my dogs made all the difference. I highly recommend Sierra to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter. She exceeded all my expectations and provided an outstanding level of care for Louis and Saint. Thank you, Sierra, for taking such wonderful care of my fur babies!”

“Kendall was amazing. She was super responsive and eased all my worries about leaving my cat Gary for the first time. Gary loved her and was super eager to play when she came to see him. I know I left Gary in good hands!”

“Payton is great! We booked her for a house sitting for our dog and she took wonderful care of our place and our girl! She is very kind and responsible, and responsive! Would highly recommend Payton to anyone!”

“Gabriel watched our (3) dogs and cat while we went out of town for 4 days with our son. He took them out to the dog park, for walks, and for runs. We know our dogs absolutely loved it, It’s great when you can leave when not worry about your fur babies well being. We got photos and videos which we enjoyed seeing. He took great care of our house as well! We will definitely be hiring Gabriel again!”
About: Empty nester missing my beloved large breed dog. Offering dedicated, loving, in-home care for your furry family . I am also able to provide other small chores to keep home in order. I teach at a local high school full time. I would only be able to care for pet before and after school hours and the weekend. Only offering house sitting as I do not have a fenced in yard. I love taking dogs for walks as well as snuggling. My great pyr in my profile pic passed last year and I would like to have some dog time while I can but also have freedom to travel.

About: I have watched multiple ages of dogs! Some middle aged, all the way to 5 months! I love going on walks and will be happy to have a furry friend to join me. I have helped clean up after them, feeding, grooming, and just hanging out with them! I am a college student but have complete access to a car! I can stay overnight, I can get up early, stay late or even pop in to the house to make sure they get lunch! I will meet their expectations. I couldn't just go over to a clients house and just feed a dog. I would feed them, play with them, etc.
About: Hi! I’m Betty and I’m new to the Sacramento area! I’d love to meet the local pets and get to now the best parks and trails to take with your pups/kitties! Currently I’m between jobs and have full time availability for walking and house sitting! I look forward to many walks and cuddling time with the doggies! I’m very energetic and can match the high energy dogs! I love to play fetch, keep away, and tug o war with the pets on my drop ins! My goal is to tire the doggos out before the visit is over :) The most important thing for me is forming a bond with the pets and safety of course! This would involve long walks and tons of cuddle time as well had following house rules :)

About: I have grown up with dogs and the daily walks are always my favorite time with them. As a college student I would love to help others and have some time outside with a pet! I also have a year of experience fostering, taking care of a wide array of puppy to elderly dogs. I am available before and after my Cal Poly classes as well as all day most weekends. My class schedule is typically 11-3 Monday through Friday. I understand the pets needs and always stop to smell (pee on) the roses. I am aware of traffic, other dogs, and behavioral triggers through a walk.
About: Over the years, I have had dogs, cats, rats, chinchillas, bunnies, horses… you name it! I love animals and am always happiest surrounded by furry friends, I would be honored to help care for yours! I have a lot of experience giving medicines to my own animals as well over the years, so am happy to take on senior/complicated animals! I work weekdays as a nurse, and am mother to a 10 year old. I can do walks and drop in visits weekday evenings. I am available to sit any day of the week as long as your pet is ok being home the 8 hours I am at work. I would love all them before and afterwards and be home in the evening! If you have any special species/ requests please ask!! I will do my best to be available :) I am an animal lover, and my own pets get showered with love and attention daily... They are part of my family! I will treat yours like they are my own, and am prepared to give them the love they are missing from their owners while you are gone!
