“You can tell taking care of animals is in Nelson’s blood. He came through for me and Nico on a last minute business trip and provided plenty of updates throughout the day. In addition to taking excellent care of Nico, Nelson also left the house even cleaner than I did when I left which is such a relief after coming home from a trip. Thanks again Nelson, Nico is already looking forward to hanging out with you next time!”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young, especially dogs and even reptiles! I’ve spent many many hours researching different breeds of dogs so I could understand what they needed to be happy and healthy. I can even do bath times! With me, your pets will be in the best of care. I’m a stay at home mom who loves playing with pets and taking them on walks and play dates. I have a large vehicle which allows for me to transport pets easily. If you need them brought to the groomer or the vet? I’m your girl! I’m currently available to pupsit on weekends with weekdays on a case to case basis, I have two very friendly dogs who love making new friends! They are both crate trained which will allow those pets with a fear of others to thrive. My yard is fenced in as well and I have a 5yr old who loves to play with animals and go on very long walks

“Wondering experience with Devin! He house sat and made sure the communicate every couple hours with updates and pictures of my sweet puppies. When he left he cleaned his linens, started the dishwasher, and vacuumed so I would come home to a clean house. My dogs really enjoyed him, will be rebooking soon!”


“Danielle was AMAZING!!! Our pets are pretty quirky and Danielle easily adapted to their needs without hesitation. We even encountered an unexpected snafu while away and Danielle was quick to problem solve the situation and communicate effectively to achieve resolution. I have absolutely no doubt she can handle my pets again with ease. I will definitely be looking to hire Danielle in the future.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep love for animals of all kinds—young, old, healthy, or those needing extra care. With over 13 years of hands-on experience, I’ve worked with pets who have medical needs, including administering daily medications, caring for dogs with seizures, and supporting senior pets with mobility or incontinence issues. I’m especially tuned in to the unique needs of cats—I've lived with and cared for them for over a decade, and currently have five of my own. I can bathe them, trim their nails, and most importantly, earn their trust (because as any cat lover knows, they choose us—not the other way around!). I also love spending time outdoors with dogs—whether it’s a long walk or just time to sniff around and explore. I currently have one dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family. That’s exactly what I do. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to take dogs out for walks in the morning, during the day, or in the evening—whatever works best for your pet’s needs. I’m also available for house visits, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and anything else your furry friend may need. Caring for animals isn’t just something I make time for—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and build my day around. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and aim to keep things just as you left them. I’ll send regular updates so you know how your pet is doing and can feel totally at ease while you're away. If pets are staying with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I have experience managing multiple pets and keeping everyone safe and happy, whether it’s quiet time for an older pet or more active play for a younger one.

“Cristina is great! Bubba loved her the moment he met her. When we got home, Bubba was happy to see us & he continued following Cristina. Do you know he really took to her. Thanks Cristina , you’re the best!!”


About: Growing up in a family that loved animals I had gained experience caring for and training small, medium, and large dogs as well as cats and horses! I have held the titles of Miss Calaveras Saddle Queen, Miss California State Horseman's Association, and Miss Rodeo Oakdale. All of these titles were ambassador rolls for excellent animal welfare care and required a tremendous amount of equine care knowledge. My knowledge of animal care was expanded further during my employment at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital as first a kennel assistant and then a veterinary assistant. Working at Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital I provided routine walks for a vast variety of dog breeds that were both boarding and hospitalized. I am able to administer medications if need be and willing to help with medical care. Currently a student at UC Davis, my weekly routine is very flexible for providing you the best pet care possible! This quarter mornings and evenings work best during week days and my weekends are open! My employee feedback from Angels Camp Veterinary Hospital described me as thorough, patient, and compassionate. I am confident that I will provide your pet with all the play time, treats, and care they could possibly want!

“Alana was amazing! She went above and beyond our expectations! She made sure our house was kept clean, our plants were watered, and she even cleaned after the dogs. This was all extra stuff she did! Our fur babies loved her, and they were very well maintained and cared for! She updated us daily with pictures and was quick to respond if we reached out to her. We came home to notes for each day on dog's health, bowel movements and any changes in their moods or actions for each day she was with them. We will definitely be reaching out to Alana again in the future and would recommend her to anyone!”

Dayana S.
“Dayana is not only a friend, but one of the best dog sitters we could ask for. She follows instructions (such as medicine and food amounts, etc) and showers them with love and affection. She treats our dogs as her own and forms a genuine connection with her. Heck, I think they like her more than they like me! I could not ask for anyone else to watch our fur babies when we go away. I feel they will be safe and she will do what she can to keep it that way. Don't hesitate! She's one of the best when it comes to our pets!”
