Ramona took excellent care of Ginger and my home while away. She was reassuring, sent updates, and was easy to communicate with. Would definitely hire again.

Megan is AMAZING. She is communicative, punctual, and was great with both our cat and dog. I left detailed notes and she followed them perfectly. Her updates and photos were detailed and frequent. I will use Megan again and again, in fact, she is already booked for next time! Thanks, Megan, for a great job!

Colette took fantastic care of our dog! We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. She sent us pictures of our boy when we were away and he looked very content. We will be booking with Colette again very soon!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and truly love getting to know each one’s personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and those who need a little extra patience or training. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or quiet cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I’m currently working part time, I can care for your pet before work and after work. I will work less than 12 hours a week so I’m hoping to be available often. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space with the same respect as my own. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure doors and gates are always locked, water bowls are fresh, and pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and safe while you’re away.

Alina saved our weekend. She was available on short notice and stayed with our dog while we went to a wedding. She was very attentive with Ivy and was very responsive to my multiple texts. Would use her again!

About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!

I booked Mia for a last minute trip! I cannot say enough good things about her. She was truly amazing from start to finish. Even though she only watched Henry for 4 days, the level of care, attention, and presence she gave made it feel like so much more. She was incredibly intentional about honoring every single one of my requests, which meant a lot to me and showed how much she genuinely cared about Henry as if he were her own. She kept me consistently updated with thoughtful messages about Henry and everything going on at our home. On top of that, she is just such a sweet and kind soul. I appreciated that she wasn’t afraid to ask questions whenever she needed clarification and to me that is something important when trusting someone in your home and care of your pet! I would absolutely book her again without hesitation and honestly feel so lucky to have found her. 10/10! 🤍

About: Looking back on my life, there’s never been a time. I haven’t had a dog. Dogs to me are like built-in best friends. I do not know of any adult or child that runs up and greets me with kisses hugs and pure excitement. I’ve always said I wish people Could take lessons from dogs of how to treat each other. Every dog is unique and special in their own way. I am currently retired and am able to give any of our four legged guest attention and companionship. I enjoy spending time with dogs so they will be well cared for while with me. Weather, I am caring for your dog at my own home or in their home safety and care is my number one priority. My own dogs have the belief that they own our home and our gracious enough to let us stay.. We have a huge backyard and allow our animals to sit on Couch to watch TV with us and of course they sleep in bed with us. I also have a separate room for overnight visitors with a bad and room to play.

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

We booked Taylor for the first time to watch our new dog, Maverick, and we couldn’t be happier. She was kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and will definitely be requesting her again. Highly recommend!

About: I'm savona, and I have had multiple experiences with all different kinds of animals. I have had 4 dogs in my life two that I was given responsibility to care for. I used to ride horses for years. I had had rabbits, hamsters, a chinchilla even a pig at one point. And have own three cat as well! I used to do dog walking and sitting for a lovely lady in galt when I was in middle school as my first ever job. I have plenty of experience with a whole lot of different kinds of animals, and I swear I'm an animal whisperer, they always adore me. I think it's cause I adore them just as much! I am currently taking care of my older sister at the moment. Currently just cooking for her in the morning nothing in the way. Other than that I'm looking for Employment snd thought one of my best skills is with animals! I'm free every day of the week at any time, I can work around your schedule! I am perfect for short notices and long schedules, or even multiple days back to back. I am extremely reliable and adaptable. My first sitting/walking job, I had a code for my customers door, she had a ring camera so I would say hi and go right in. All the dogs stuff I knew where it was at, would grab their leashes, treats, toys and bags. I usually have the customers give me a to-do list. I have fed dogs Rae ingredient foods, if you have the diet for your dog like raw meats, eggs, bones, etc I am comfortable with plating it! I'm very hygienic and won't walk if I am sick.

Absolutely thrilled with Nicole's care for my Weimaraner, Finley! As a "Velcro dog" who's usually attached to me at all times, Finley can be a bit needy, but Nicole handled him beautifully. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which put me completely at ease even while I was out of the country. Finley was clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every update. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m incredibly grateful for her phenomenal work. Highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter!

We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.

Danni went above and beyond in taking care of my puppy during our first weekend trip away. I truly was able to relax knowing she was in good hands, as Danni is both experienced with dogs and very nurturing. I also really appreciated how she agreed to sit on such short notice, even July 4th nonetheless. She even generously cleaned up a few things at my home. I definitely recommend Danni and will continue to stay in touch!

AJ is wonderful! I was worried prior to my trip because my dog is old and has separation anxiety (and I was travelling for a long time). AJ kept me informed, took such great care of Bella, and was tidy and very kind. Really enjoy having her sit!
