Cat Sitting Skinners

About: My very first job, at 11 years old, was walking dogs, and my love for caring for animals has only grown since! I've had dogs my entire life, and my family has fostered dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I love both cats and dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and unique needs. As a lifelong pet owner, I know firsthand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands. Whether it's a long walk, a little extra attention, or making sure your pet is comfortable and happy while you're away, I'm always happy to help. No task is too small when it comes to caring for our animals! I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative. My goal is to make life a little easier for you while ensuring your pets receive the same patience, kindness, and thoughtful care I'd want for my own. I recently graduated with my master's degree and am currently navigating the job market while looking for a full-time position! In the meantime, I'm excited to spend my time doing something I genuinely love: caring for animals! My schedule is currently very flexible, and I'm happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and the occasional last-minute request. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pets is a big deal, and it's a responsibility I take seriously! My goal is to make your life a little easier while ensuring your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I always work to follow each pet's established routines, whether that means specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, favorite walking routes, or simply understanding their preferences. I'm attentive to safety, respectful of your home, and happy to accommodate special requests, big or small! I also believe communication is key to building trust. I'm happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands. Above all, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same care, patience, and respect I'd want for my own!

“Cole gave us peace of mind while we were away from our pets. We will definitely hire him the next time we are out and I suggest you do the same!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs, including a Golden Retriever and a Collie, and I’ve always had a soft spot for animals of all kinds. After settling down and starting our family, we were ready to welcome a dog back into our lives. In 2024, we adopted Izzy, our sweet and friendly German Shorthaired Pointer. Our family absolutely loves having Izzy around, and I’d love the opportunity to give your dog that same attention, affection, and care while you’re away. I work from home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. They’ll have plenty of companionship throughout the day, along with playtime, potty breaks, attention, and lots of love. If you prefer I visit your home to check in on your animal, I am happy to do so. I can stay at your home between 9a-2pm M-F or pop in on weeknights and weekends, or you may opt to board them at our home. We live in a clean, comfortable, family-friendly home on nearly half an acre with a fully fenced yard and a doggie door. Dogs staying with us can easily go in and out throughout the day to play, explore, relax in the yard, or come back inside whenever they want. Your dog will be treated like one of the family and cared for in a safe, loving home environment. I’m happy to answer any questions, arrange a meet-and-greet, or even give you a quick tour so you can feel completely comfortable with where your treasured family member will be staying. My rate includes daily brushing and a bath before they return home. They will be the only dog here other than our own. I’d love to meet you and your pup! ❤️ I work from home and am available every day, all day, to meet your pet's needs. I have a large fenced backyard with a doggie door for potty breaks and play time. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I only host one dog family at a time, I can provide individualized attention and avoid the stress that can come with a home full of unfamiliar animals. We have a clean, non-smoking, kid-friendly home and a large, fully fenced yard. Our doggie door provides supervised-by-presence access between the house and fenced yard, giving your dog the flexibility to go outside for potty breaks or play without having to wait for someone to open the door. Izzy is friendly and enjoys having other dogs around, but I will always make introductions thoughtfully and pay close attention to each dog's personality and comfort level. Izzy and other animals are discouraged from being on any furniture. I'll follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, sleep preferences, and any special instructions. You'll also receive daily photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you're away.

“Amy provided great care (and technical support!) while pet sitting for us. She was consistent and communicative and provided great updates while we were away.”

About: I’ve had various dogs throughout my life so I’ve had lots of experience taking care of them. My chocolate lab also gave birth to 9 puppies so I’ve had experience taking care of new borns and also training them. I’m currently in college classes so I have several hours throughout the day to drop in, take walks and I am able to stay overnight. My pets are very well cared for and very much part of our family. In clients home, I will care for their animals as my own and comply with any requests they have in regards to their pet.

About: Throughout the years, I have always naturally bonded with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have dedicated much of my life to caring for pets, starting from the time I was young when family and neighbors relied on me for daily feeding, walking, and playtime. Whether your dog needs gentle senior companionship, patient routine maintenance, or a fun play session, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply loved while you are away. My partner and I work together to maintain a highly flexible routine, ensuring your pets always receive plenty of attention. Between the two of us, we are readily available throughout weekdays and weekends for reliable check-ins, timely feedings, and continuous companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. As a team, my partner and I provide attentive, gentle supervision while strictly following all of your house and care instructions. Having two dedicated caregivers means your pet gets extra care, secure monitoring, and regular photo updates.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life! I’ve been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from little puppies to older dogs.

I absolutely adore animals and would treat your fur babies like my own! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online!

About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember! My family has had many pets through the years, family dogs that we’ve cared for into old age, and dogs we have helped rehome! I have experience with many different breeds, including jack russell terriers, pitbulls, border collies, and many more. I love all animals and being around a new pet is so exciting for me. I promise to give your pet special attention and make sure they are happy and comfortable. I am currently in a dental assisting program, so I will be unavailable mondays and tuesdays. Any other day I will have full availability for your pet! I will make sure your pet gets lots of potty breaks if needed, or make sure their enclosure/litter box is fresh and clean! I’m very punctual when it comes to feeding and kind of OCD about having clean water available. I always want your pet to feel comfortable and safe.

About: I have had pets all of my growing up and have taken care of them. I have walked many dogs on wag from small dogs with little activity to huskies. Also for a year and half now I have house sitter for clients from a week to a weekend to a day. Getting a degree has shown me my resilience, self-determination, and commitment to hard work. Also my ability to provide compassionate care not only to people but also making your pets feel safe. I’m currently working full time from 8:00am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday in person in Sacramento. So it would be great if you have a doggy door or some way for the pets to potty during the day outside. After 4:30pm I am able to stay the whole night with furr babies. When going into your home, I will make sure to be respectful of your surroundings and be in and out as fast as possible. Also I will leave it as I initially saw the home when I arrived.

I'm always happy to talk through expectations and schedules before confirming a booking to make sure we're a great fit! I love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated! 🐾 For dogs, a typical day might include walks around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of attention and cuddles. If they're comfortable in public spaces and their owner approves, I'm happy to take them to a nearby park for some extra outdoor time! For cats, I love interactive playtime with their favorite toys, giving them pets when they're in the mood, or simply hanging out and keeping them company. I always adjust activities based on each pet's energy level, personality, and routine. Whether they're full of energy or prefer a relaxing day, I'm happy to match their vibe!

I have previously dogsat/housesat for about 2 1/2 weeks. I work from home so I am able to relocate where needed. I have time early mornings or afternoon/evenings. I am available weekends and holidays. I make sure dogs are taking naps when needed, so if they are crate trained I make sure after play time or walking they get naps. In my home and clients home we follow a schedule for feeding and potty breaks. Usually enjoy going for walks during lunch time and evenings. During weekends tend to go to the park or for longer walks.

“I had a wonderful experience with Haley! She provided thoughtful daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated while I was away. My cats can take some time to warm up to new people, and she was incredibly patient and understanding, allowing them to get comfortable with her at their own pace. I felt completely at ease while I was away, knowing I could trust her to take good care of them. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”

“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have always been an animal lover. Had my boy Oliver for almost 18 years from puppy to super senior. I am an ER nurse so highly competent taking care of medical needs. Love to hike or go on walks equally love snuggling if the dog prefers less active time. I am an ER nurse and only work 3 days a week so lots of free time for pet sitting/ walking/ boarding or pop ins. I have my own house with a good sized fully fenced in yard and a doggie door. Love to hike and be active with the dogs but can also give snuggles and be less active.

About: I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for around 20 years, starting when I was about 8 or 9 years old watching neighbors’ homes and animals while they were out of town. Since then, I’ve continued caring for pets for family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and acquaintances. What sets me apart is my experience with pets who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for special-needs and senior animals, including dogs with deafness, blindness, and medical routines. I’m comfortable administering medication, eye drops, and IV fluids when given clear instructions. I also have experience with dogs of different sizes, from small and medium dogs to larger breeds like German Shepherds and Labs. I’m gentle, reliable, detail-oriented, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, medically fragile, or just happiest with consistency, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a Program Aide at a day program for adults with developmental disabilities from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which leaves me available for early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and many overnight house-sitting needs. Because I have a cat at home, pet care is already part of my everyday life. Feeding schedules, litter box care, fresh water, medication routines, playtime, and quiet companionship are all things I’m used to building my day around. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially cats, senior pets, anxious pets, and pets with special needs. My schedule works especially well for clients who need dependable check-ins before or after work, afternoon care, evening visits, or overnight house sitting. I’m reliable, routine-oriented, and careful about keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. Safety, trust, and routine are my biggest priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely so their pet’s normal routine stays as familiar and stress-free as possible. I pay attention to feeding schedules, medication instructions, litter boxes, walks, water, playtime, quiet time, and any special rules for the home. I treat every home with respect and care. I’m mindful about locking doors, securing gates, keeping food and medications out of reach, cleaning up after pets, and leaving the space the way I found it. I also keep an eye out for changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, mobility, or mood, especially with senior pets or pets with medical needs. Because I have experience with special-needs animals, I understand how important patience and consistency can be. I’m comfortable caring for pets who are shy, anxious, elderly, blind, medically fragile, or simply need extra reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind through clear communication and updates.

About: I have a dog and three cats of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a strong love for caring for them. I currently attend school online, which gives me a very flexible and open schedule, allowing me to accommodate different needs and be available throughout the day. I also have plenty of pet sitting experience, which has helped me become responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for animals. When it comes to animals, I have experience with just about everything! I’ve cared for animals ranging from rabbits to horses and everything in between. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has its own unique needs and routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, feeding, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important pets are to their families, and I would treat every animal in my care with the same love, attention, and patience that I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care! I currently attend school online, which gives me a flexible, open schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s usual routine to make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I am very reliable, responsible, and have my own transportation, so getting to and from visits is never an issue. I understand how important consistency is when caring for pets, and I’m committed to making sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve! I’ve worked hard to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for all of my pets at home. My dog is fully trained both on and off leash, has excellent recall, and has a strong bond of trust with me. My three cats are free to roam throughout the house, and I have gates set up to ensure they always have their own safe spaces when they need them. I believe it's important for every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and have an environment that suits their individual needs. When caring for other people's pets, I am always very proactive, attentive, and cautious. I make sure to be aware of my surroundings, pay close attention to each pet's behavior, and take extra precautions to keep them safe. Whether we're going on walks, spending time outside, or staying inside, I am mindful of potential risks and never take their safety for granted. I understand that every animal has different needs, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I always do my best to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment. Your pet's safety and well-being will always be my top priority!
