Her home was beautiful and we felt so comfortable having Maria take care of Nala while we were away. We received daily pictures and videos that really were so special! Nala had the best time with Marty too! Maria will be our number one choice in the future.”
“Good morning, Giezell I was unable to access this account. I stayed up late last night w/o success. I'm working to get this across the line to you prior to departing for work this morning. I'm hoping and praying that I will have time over lunch to pick up Croissant. I'll keep you posted. I searched for your ph# in my phone but was unable to locate you as I did not properly save it. Cheers, Angelique”

“Jacqueline has a lovely family home and an excellent set up for pet care and amusement. She and her family seemed genuinely interested in Mariah's well being during her short stay. I would definitely use her for my little dog's care in the future.”

“Jessica was incredible!! Twitch came back rested and calm, Jessica provided pictures and updates nearly everyday . We enjoyed our vacation without any stress knowing our dog was in such good hands. Would definitely board with Jessica in the future! Thanks again!”
“Anthony is top-notch! He took great care of our King Charles Cavalier for four days. Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog playing with his dog, Kai. He took our dog on many walks to the local park and played fetch with the dogs his backyard. Anthony was very flexible with pickup/drop off times and had everything ready to go when it was time to take our dog home. I highly recommend Anthony for dog boarding and we will be rebooking with him in a few weeks.”
“Sandra was an excellent caregiver. This was the first time I have ever boarded my cat and I should have done it for a shorter time or a trial. Sandra was very tuned in to my cats needs and kept us updated on how he was doing. We did pick him up early but not because of anything Sandra did, it was all me and my cats broken heart because I just left him. Thank you to Sandra for noticing our baby missed us. Next time I board him it will only be for a weekend or in my home where he is used to, but I would use Sandra again.”
“Brian took excellent care of our dog! He went above & beyond to send me daily pictures and fun comments that helped relieve my worries during a stressful trip. He took the time to talk to me during our meet & greet to let me know our dog would be well cared for & watched closely. He is soft spoken & has a lot of patience, which is priceless! He even gave me training tips that were appreciated. We will definitely be return customers. Thanks again Brian!🐕”
“Shanna is great. We have boarded our doberman in her home multiple times now when we need to go out of town for a few days. He always seems happy to walk in when being dropped off ☺️ glad we found someone we trust with our dog!”

About: I have 12+ years experience working with animals with special needs and behavioral issues. I grew up caring for pets of all types. In high school I was the go to neighborhood dog sitter and I was an intern with a local dog trainer for a year. I currently have three dogs and I help to care for my sister’s cats and dog while she’s at work. If you are looking for compassionate, safe and reliable care for your pets, look no further. I’d love to help. As of now, I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anytime in the morning until 2:30pm. I am available anytime Saturday and Sunday. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I provide loving, attentive care while following your pet’s routine and any special instructions. I ensure dogs get safe, enjoyable walks with plenty of exercise and fresh water, and I make sure cats receive companionship, playtime, and care in a calm environment.

About: My experience with animals goes far beyond pet sitting. I began volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center at age 10 and continued through age 16, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology. I’ve also worked in multiple veterinary clinics as a surgical assistant and spent a year working in animal control. These experiences have given me hands-on experience handling animals, recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your dog needs an active day, extra patience, medication or special care, or simply a safe and comfortable place to relax, I’m committed to providing attentive, knowledgeable care and treating your pet like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I genuinely enjoy. I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care rather than treating it as something I squeeze into a busy schedule. My days can include walks, outdoor time, play, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention, while also making sure pets have time to relax and feel comfortable. I’m intentional about keeping each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including their feeding, exercise, and rest schedules. I also enjoy being active outdoors, so dogs who love walks and adventures will have plenty of opportunities to get their energy out! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before their stay. My background in wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary clinics, and animal control has taught me how important it is to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something is out of the ordinary. I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities and energy levels and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and a calm environment. I also love keeping dogs active with walks, play, enrichment, and outdoor time when appropriate. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same attentiveness and respect I would want for my own. I have my own fenced in yard and a large sized kennel in my home if needed.
“Morgan was so wonderful! Needed a mid day drop-in for my senior dog. Reached out with only a day or so notice (my fault) and Morgan was able to help no problem! Always nice to have a sitter in the area you can count on and trust, Morgan is definitely on my list ᵕ̈”
“Yuri was so great to our kitten, Banks. She was able to accommodate our needs super last-minute. She sent us updates and photos over the three days we were gone. Banks came home happy a tired from all the fun he had!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had all kinds of animals growing up. My grandmother even had a drop in home visit pet business for almost 10 years. And I would help a lot of the times. I currently have one cat with me. My other cat was a bit old to travel, so sadly I had to leave her in Oregon. I look forward to meeting future clients!
About: I’ve grown up around cats and understand their different personalities, from playful to more independent. I’ve also taken care of multiple people’s cats while they were away, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and stress-free in their own space. I’m patient, reliable, and respectful of each cat’s needs, and I’m happy to provide updates so you know your cat is safe and well cared for.
About: Hi! We’re Haruka & Dan, a dog-loving couple with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. For the past 3 years, we’ve been fostering with Rocket Dog Rescue, welcoming everything from tiny puppies just a few weeks old to large adult dogs into our home. We also regularly care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. One of us is usually home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. We also have two large, friendly dogs who love meeting and playing with other dogs. We understand that every dog is unique, and we’ll do our best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I sometimes work weekday afternoons, but my husband works from home, so either one of us are home. We block the dates that neither one of us are home. We are confident to take care of any dogs as foster parents. I know some of your dogs are reactive or skittish, but we’ve worked with them before so we’re prepared. Also we have 2 Great Pyrenees, they can play with your dog!
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for cats of all personalities. I’m here to offer more than just feeding and litter box checks. I make time for play, affection, and companionship during every visit. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I create a safe, stress-free environment tailored to their comfort and routine.
About: From an early age, I lived with cats. Some people aren't "cat people"; I'm the opposite. Whether the shy type or the snuggle muffin, I adore cats. Recently rescued two ferals who are now (6 years later) the sweetest, happiest love bugs. I'll enjoy every moment with your cats. And they'll quickly look forward to my visits. I feel bad for people who aren't cat people. They're missing out!
“Lori is always incredible! Our cats greet her at the door and love the time she spends playing with them. She is an excellent communicator and we feel so comforted knowing that she is watching our kitties while we are away! Can’t wait until next time!”
“Loretta watched our two kitties while we were away and we were so pleased with how well our kitties were cared for! She truly loves animals and tried to play with them despite their shyness. Her descriptions at each visit were thoroughly outlined as if you were there with your pets. We will definitely be using her in the future for when we need a pet sitter. I would highly recommend her services!”
About: Growing up, my family had a menagerie of pets. In addition to cats and dogs, we had everything from rabbits, chickens, horses, birds, both salt water and fresh water fish. Today, I keep a few species of reptiles and occasionally help my grandma with our two family horses. Looking forward to getting in my cat/dog time in with your pet! I'm widely available mon-fri during the days when most people are at work. While I'm less available on weekends, I am occasionally available on Saturdays. I like to meet animals where they're at and work from there. Whether that means going slow on walks or going to the park to run, is up to the dog. For cats, everything is on their terms also, it just looks different.

“Another fun day with Giezell! She and her family are the best! My dog loves going to her house for day care - and I know he is happy and safe while I am at work. Gryffin and I both highly recommend Giezell!!”
“Haruka and Daniel were wonderful, and incredibly kind! My dog Sybil had a little trouble with some anxiety after I left and they did a great job keeping her comfortable despite it and keeping me updated. By the time I got there she was right at home and ready to play! We'd definitely love to book again next time!”

“From the moment I met Maria, I knew my dog would be in good hands! 🤗 She was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely caring towards my dog. My little dog was very comfortable (as if he was at home) and was treated like a part of her family — which was exactly what I was looking for! I highly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future! 🐾”
“My dog spent the day at Lupe’s today and left happy. Lupe had great hospitality. She gave me a little tour of where my dog would be spending his time and asked questions about his needs/personality when I dropped him off. The indoor area is very specious and has a gate to separate some dogs from others based on temperament. My dog was showing signs of possessiveness over his toy so she was proactive about giving him his own space away from the other dogs. She said when the dogs weren’t outside playing he chose to spend his time right next to her while she worked. Lupe sent pictures and gave a recap of how he played well outside with other dogs and was fed separately.”
About: I have been a dog mom longer than a human mom! Dogs have been part of my life for years. I am good with training, schedules, pups to seniors. I walk daily, have a huge yard, and a pool for summer day care. My 2 kids have grown up with dogs in the home and love and them just as much as I do! I work from home and set my own hours, so your pup will get plenty of love and attention! I take a walks everyday and am a frequent flyer at the park. Day care hours: Drop off between 7-8am and pick up between 4-5pm. Additional time will have an added fee. If you need different drop off/pick up times, please let me know when booking! I have a huge fenced yard for getting zoomies out and soaking up sun. Besides daily walks to the park and play, I will make sure your dog is fed, stimulated, and loved.
“My dog, Henry, and I just moved to town. The move has been somewhat a hard adjustment on Henry. I started daycare with Ricquel and she has been a godsend to Henry and I. She takes the time to go at Henry's pace making sure that he has his space to meet the other dogs at daycare and gives Henry attention with his favorite activities (fetch) and even gives him iced water because he gets hot easily! Furthermore, Riquel has been SO flexible with me and my schedule with my new job. She's a great communicator, flexible, patient and truly cares for Henry's wellbeing. Thank you, Riquel!”
“My dogs have stayed here several times and they look forward to spending time with Shawna and her husband. My three year old lab gets so excited when we pull up in front of the house. I feel lucky to have a place my dogs can go and feel safe and comfortable when they can't be with me.”
“Connie has taken care of my dog Moose on a weekly basis for over 2 years now and she has been amazing! Super reliable, excellent communication, and I always feel so reassured that my dog is in the best possible hands while I’m away. Moose can be anxious and standoffish with strangers but Connie and her family have been like his second family and he is always so excited to see them.”
“Very experienced with dogs of all sizes and dispositions - he made Brieze comfortable from the beginning and she had so much fun there she didn’t want to leave! Very flexible, accommodating, and sent lots of updates and pictures. Will definitely be back!”
“We had a great experience with Elliott. We did a meet and greet which I felt was very responsible. His dogs are awesome and got along well with my girls. Pick up was easy and even though I was late he did not mind. I will use him again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies who need extra attention, structure, potty training support, and plenty of playtime, as well as senior dogs who require a calmer environment, medication administration, slower walks, and gentle care. I’m attentive to body language, behavior, and individual needs, which helps dogs quickly build trust and feel comfortable with me. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra patience, I provide reliable supervision, lots of affection, consistent communication, and a clean, stress-free environment. My goal is not just to “watch” your pet it’s to give them a positive experience where they feel loved, secure, and excited to come back. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and mainly from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and cuddle time, while also making sure each pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, which helps them feel comfortable, safe, and less anxious while their owners are away. I truly enjoy having animals around and make their care a priority in my everyday life, giving them lots of love, patience, and one on one attention. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Since I work part-time and mainly from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs staying in my home are welcome to roam freely and relax comfortably in the house rather than being confined, helping them feel more at ease and at home during their stay. I can also crate dogs if requested by the owner or if it’s part of the dog’s normal routine for sleeping, feeding, or downtime. I always prioritize safety by carefully monitoring interactions, maintaining a calm environment, and following each dog’s specific care instructions, routines, dietary needs, and comfort levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, stress free, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands.

In the past we used this service to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were at work. It was so valuable for not only to our animals, but to us Whether your dog needs a midday walk, some playtime and companionship, or you need someone dependable to check in on your pets, I’m happy to help. My background in healthcare has also taught me to be responsible, attentive to details, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’d be happy to meet you and your pets beforehand so we can make sure we’re a great fit! Your pets may be your babies, but I’ll treat them like they’re mine. 🐾❤️ I am currently staying home and staying active with my standard poodle, Eevee and my cat, Moo. I have worked in surgery for close to 30 years and now that I’m home full time, I want to fill my time with things I love and make me happy. I have a fully fenced backyard with a swimming pool. I do have one standard poodle, who is super friendly and obsessed. I do have one cat who is a rescue from a hoarding situation and loves to play with dogs.We have a large home with all kids off to college. Animals sleep with us.
About: Growing up, my family had a menagerie of pets. In addition to cats and dogs, we had everything from rabbits, chickens, horses, birds, both salt water and fresh water fish. Today, I keep a few species of reptiles and occasionally help my grandma with our two family horses. Looking forward to getting in my cat/dog time in with your pet! I'm widely available mon-fri during the days when most people are at work. While I'm less available on weekends, I am occasionally available on Saturdays. I like to meet animals where they're at and work from there. Whether that means going slow on walks or going to the park to run, is up to the dog. For cats, everything is on their terms also, it just looks different.
About: Hi, I’m Alesha! I’m a lifelong animal lover based in Vacaville with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, and even special needs animals, and I currently share my home with a chihuahua named Toby and two lovable cats, Pepper and Julius. Over the years, I’ve cared for high-energy puppies, senior dogs needing medication, anxious rescue pets, and food-motivated mischief-makers—I’ve seen it all! Whether it’s following specific feeding routines, giving medication, keeping up with energy levels, or just making your pet feel safe and loved, I take my role seriously and treat every animal as if they’re my own. My background in both personal and volunteer pet care gives me the confidence and patience to meet each pet where they’re at—whether they need a calm companion, a playful buddy, or a dependable walker who shows up rain or shine. I work a 8-5 in Vacaville. I can do visits and walks early before work, on my breaks or in the evenings. My schedule is decently flexible with weekends completely free. If you hire me for a visit, I will calmy approach your pet, and follow any instructions you've left, feeding, walking, treats, playtime, feeding, ensuring there's water and that they are happy and comfortable!
About: I worked as a behavioral tech for over a year where I learned all about behavioral training. I’ve had great success with my own dog at home. We have almost always had a dog in my house and know how important of a family member they are. I dog sit for several families when they go on vacation and have been doing this for about a year or so. My background is with children and have a lot of patience and love as a result! I am available full time as of right now. If this changes, I will update my availability ASAP. I wouldn’t be away from the home for very long most of the time. Any occasion where I would be away from the home for a significant amount of time, I would first make sure that the dog was completely cared for (fed, watered, pottied, and played with) before leaving. I will not be providing care in my own home. However, I do know of a dog park in the area as well as public parks for walks.

I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well taken care of. During walks and visits, I focus on safety, using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings, while also making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention.

About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of and being around pets my entire life! Since I was a child, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fishes as well as other large animals! Over the years many friends, family members and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. I have over 6 years of experience with all dog breeds. I currently have a two-year-old Yellow Lab who is the sweetest pup I have ever had. She is extremely friendly and loving and is great with other dogs and cats. I currently have a pretty open schedule with my online classes, so I am home most of the time, dogs have access to the backyard at almost all times and are always being watched and monitored for safety. Dogs are taken on walks to nearby parks and around the neighborhood and rides around to the dog park. dogs are fed separately and are fed on a schedule and always have access to lots of fresh water. I have a fenced yard and a pool in the back yard. I am able to crate your dog if needed or per your preference. My lab is always ready to play or nap with your pup and will always keep them company!
