“Lisette was awesome! We arrived super late on our drop off day and Lisette waited up and accommodated our late arrival. Luna was happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would happily leave her with Lisette again.”
“We absolutely love Michelle and highly recommend her. She is loving with our pets and makes them feel right at home. You will never regret using Michelle when you have pet setting needs.”
“We boarded our 130lb Great Dane with Elisabeth for just over a week. He is new to boarding and has not been socialized with other people or dogs much. Elisabeth excepted this challenge and succeeded in making him comfortable. She also throughly dealt with an emergency issue that required vet attention during his stay. I highly recommend Elisabeth and her Swansboro Vacation Care for any of your boarding needs. Thanks Elisabeth for your care and effort while boarding our dog.”
“Sara was a great sitter! She helped me out last minute, when I needed a quick place for my puppy. Ranger was happy when I picked him up and exhausted from all the running around he was able to do. Would highly recommend and would love to schedule another time for Ranger to hang out!”
“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”
“Sharon and Albert are AMAZING! This is by the far the best experience I've ever had leaving my pup! Blitzen is very sensitive and it takes her quite a long time to warm up to new people and she was comfortable immediately. I received pictures each day and I could tell what a great time she was having. For me Sharon and Albert are the only choice for watching Blitzen in the future.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Meghan and Peter! To say I was nervous about leaving my dog for a week is an understatement. 🫣 After talking with Meghan for 5 minutes, I was completely comfortable and knew this was the right place for Clover. She is so kind, loving, and gentle. Her communication was detailed and I received pictures, updates, and reassurances. ❤️ Clover was SO happy to have 3 doggie friends to run and sniff with! (She honestly seems a little bored now at home! 😆) Peter was very generous in accommodating our pick up time, which really was above and beyond. Needless to say, I would not hesitate to book with them again. Thank you! ☺️”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
About: I have been a volunteer trainer with the Sierra At Tahoe Avalanche Dogs since I was about 10. My father runs the dog program so I grew up being taught how to train, take care of, and watch over dogs since I was a toddler. At the ski mountain I helped drill the dogs to find subjects in the snow, played, walked, fed, took to the bathroom, and watched over the dogs ages ranging from puppies to senior dogs. My family also has three dogs and three cats all of I have assisted in training, and most of the time look after on my own. I recently left my job so I am open full time with my schedule to take part in pet care. On some days I do need to watch my own animals since my parents work full time, but even then I am always available for even just a check in if needed! I make sure my pets have a set in feeding time as well as they have a signal for bathroom breaks, even if they do not show me they need to go I will periodically let them outside or take them on a walk. Besides just food and bathroom I love to work on skills, tricks, and just playing with the dogs throughout the day as to make sure they are enriched and happy. These qualities go for all animals I may watch too! I pride myself in being able to recognize their behavior so I can adapt for them what they need or want!
“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up on a small ranch with animals my entire life goats/sheep/cattle/dogs/cats/fish/hamsters majority of everything. All animals welcome we have plenty of room. I breed goats so there are always babies around and some of my guardian livestock dogs are in there senior years. My animals aren’t allowed inside of my house so it’s a sterile environment for puppies without shots or antisocial animals. If you want them to get accustomed to goats or cats lmk I’ll make it happen. I’m currently just doing college online so my schedule is pretty free. I work part time remotely as well so it has no real schedule. I get very restless when there nothing to do and my animals need me only once a day so would love to give my attention to something else. My personal home is a 10 acre ranch that’s fenced in. There is 1 acre fenced in around the house to keep separate from the livestock and my dogs. So any animal on my personal property that I board will have more of their own domain and environment. At a clients house if there’s no yard walks are gonna be the next best thing, or any in-house games. Make sure the get some energy out so meal time/bath time/medication will be smoother. All changes with the pet and environment though.
About: I’ve raised puppies, kittens, baby birds, chickens and various other animals, I’ve also had experience working on a dog farm and groomed various types of breeds. I’m available for part-time work and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I am open to working Monday-Sun as long as it’s planned at least a week in advance. I have a fenced large yard with two separate deck areas, I am open to bringing the pets over and housing them or going to a clients house and pet sitting, walking or even bathing if needed in a comfortable and familiar place for the pet.
“My guy had a ball with Stephanie… lotsa walks, hikes and runs. She did a great job of keeping me up to date during his stay, which I found helpful. Also her dogs were bonus play pals too. Thank you Stephanie!”
About: I have had dogs and puppies many times in the past years so I am familiar with the needs of older dogs and puppies. I enjoy walking and taking walks with your dog. I am retired, living in the foothills of Jackson. I can be available to travel to your home, stay in your guest room, and hang out with your pets, or take your small pet at my home. When dogs and I walk I enjoy getting to know the surrounding area. Many times a neighbor will talk to me when we are on our walks! I am retired. Since I am available to travel to your home and stay there with your pets while I enjoy them and the time spent reading and visiting local attractions. Should you wish to use my home for care, I am home a lot while going out for a couple of hours at a time for my social meetings and such. I appreciate that much of the time I spend will be at your home with your pets. If I go out they will be wherever you leave them when you go to work or play. I always make sure they are safe and that I return in time for walks, their next meal and shared evening and sleep routine time.

“Yet another 10/10 experience with having Sara watch my big, rambunctious pup! Great communication, attention to detail, and tons of fun and engaging activities with my guy, who returned home very happy and tired from all of the good play time. Sara is definitely my go-to going forward!”
“Denise and her girls were fantastic with my pup Archie. She kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos! She even made homemade treats with her girls for Archie. He got to take a bag home. So happy with Denise, I will definitely be leaving Archie with her again.”
“Linda was so great with our dear Moki lab/husky mix. She sent pictures and updates and I always knew our dog was in the best hands. I would use Linda's services again in a heartbeat!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and I will provide the perfect care to your pets. I provide dog walking, properly excersing your dogs and letting them out to go to the bathroom when needed. I will be willing to come to your home to check and feed your pets. Making sure your pet is cared for properly is my most important rule. I have had 3+ years experience with my own summer pet sitting business, and I will make sure your pets have the nicest stay.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. With dogs, I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, daily walks, exercise routines, basic training reinforcement, and administering medications when needed. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive interaction to keep dogs happy and well-behaved. For cats, I’m experienced in maintaining clean litter boxes, feeding routines, grooming, and creating a calm, stress-free environment—especially for more independent or shy personalities. I pay close attention to behavior and health cues in both dogs and cats, ensuring any changes are noticed early. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in caring, capable hands. I currently live and work full-time for Amador County. Outside of my 9-5 Mon thru Fri county work I am available for house and pet sits. I prefer to pet sit in clients homes, feeling that as little change as possible in a pets environment can reduce stress and separation anxiety.
About: I’ve grown up with many of cats, from strictly indoor, or indoor/outdoor. Currently I have just the one cats, who I make the joke of that I bought my house for him and I just get to stay here too, he decides when we get up for I have become his pillow, that I am his personal chef (my food), and even though he has designated kitty door just for him, I shall open the front door when he demands it 😊
About: There is no furry friend that I do no enjoy being around! I've had the opportunity to love and care for many different animals since I was very young. The last couple years I have fostered kittens and have been able to see more than 20 beautiful babies go to their furrever homes! I have owned, and taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes my entire life. I am able to give medication through injections, and am not shy with training either! My dream is to one day run an animal sanctuary for hurt and endangered animals. Sunday- Saturday 8am- 8pm I have an open schedule and would love to spend it with your animals! Don't hesitate to message me. I can work with whatever plans needed. I offer house sitting/pet sitting and dog walking. For both services I will be going to your home to either care for animals, or pick them up for a walk around your neighborhood. I look forward to seeing the next animal as it is always a special experience.
About: My love for animals is the passion of my whole life. However, my lifestyle as an IT developer involves constant travel, and I don't keep a pet so as not to put it under stress. That is why I offer a unique service — looking after your pet in his native home. My work is remote, which allows me to combine two tasks: to provide your pet with care and attention in a familiar environment and at the same time work on my projects in a comfortable environment. I am not just a pet sitter, but a responsible animal lover who values their comfort and safety.
About: While we only have barn cats of our own at this time, we love cats too. We can accommodate indoor cat care. We have crates and ability to have a litter box. They are also welcome to free roam.
“I was very nervous leaving my kitty for the 1st time. Charlene came over and met with us and I made me feel very comfortable and less nervous. My kitty is very shy around new people but she seemed to take to Charlene very well. Charlene took really good care of her and sent me regular updates and photos of her so I was able to enjoy my vacation and worry less. I would definitely recommend Charlene and will use her services again if I need to travel again in the future.”
“Shileen is excellent. It was quite obvious that our German Shepherd got attached to her quickly. Since she has two dogs of her own, she related to Gabby in no time at all. She played catch with her, walked around the properly with her, and updated us with photos daily. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog under her care. I will be requesting her dog sitting services again.”
About: I’ve had my own personal pets since I was born. I have taken care of dogs and other pets for years. I love them so much! Your animal will be in good hands with me. I have a full time job currently. However, weekdays after 4pm I am available. On weekend days I am fully available as well. I can make almost anything work! I have a fenced yard, with a nice backyard that has lots of grass as well. My house is also tile floors and easy to clean up in case of accidents. The house is puppy proof and they will be comfortable in my home.
About: Hi I’ve cared for both cats and big & small dogs, I’m an experienced pet sitter and professional! I’ve even pet sat for people with ten dogs (5 small/5 big). I’ve pet-sat and cared for 2 blind/deaf Great Danes in the same home. Not just cats and dogs- I’ve cared for bearded dragons, fish, birds, bunnies and even snakes. I believe in consistency, regular feeding, changing their water every day and regular walks set to as long or as short as you’d prefer. I am also highly experienced with senior dogs! If you’ve got cats, know that I’m here to brush, play and feed them. I regularly change the litter box. I am happy to help however I can be of service! I’m currently working part time so I have flexible hours to come walk or feed your pets! Available most nights the hours vary depending on my schedule with other clients but message me to coordinate the date & time. I am not currently offering pet sitting at my home, but I can come to your home. I am reliable, professional and I will leave your home cleaner than I found it.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I am looking to take on as many hours as possible! I am currently in college, but only have classes Monday and Wednesday and can work around my school schedule. I am unable to bring pets home due to having my own cat and living in an apartment with a single pet deposit! But I am just fine coming to you! I offer dog walking, some behavioral training while pet sitting/walking, in home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!
About: I’ve had cats in my life since I was a small child, so caring for them feels second nature to me. I understand how unique every cat’s personality is—from the shy ones who need patience to the social butterflies who love constant attention. What sets me apart is my mix of genuine love for animals and my professional background as a personal assistant, which makes me highly reliable, detail-oriented, and attentive. I’m comfortable with senior cats, administering medications, and keeping routines consistent so your cat feels safe and secure while you’re away. I also don’t mind the less glamorous parts of cat care—like deep-cleaning litter boxes—because I know how much those small details matter to a cat’s comfort. My goal is always to make sure your cat is not just cared for, but truly comfortable and loved.
“Kelli house sat and took care of our cats and chickens, and was great in sending photos, checking in, pulling all mail, etc. We've already scheduled for her to house sit again, but adding our dog as well! We will definitely be a return customer if she will have us!”
About: Your pups new bestie! I have had animals most of my life growing up since childhood and was raised with how to properly care for them. I also have a dog that I love so much! I thoroughly enjoy walks, runs, hikes, and playing with him. I am a big dog person! I currently work part time and am home most of the time. I’m usually home a lot as most of my work can be done from home. The flexibility is very nice and works perfectly with having dogs in our home! We currently have our own dog and so caring for yours will fit naturally into the flow we already have going! I have a fenced yard, where my pup and yours can play as much as they want! We have trails and parks near by for walks and runs, if you’d like for your pup to have exercise in those ways as well.
About: I’ve cared for cats of all personalities since I was young, growing up on a farm surrounded by animals. I understand that cats need patience, a calm environment, and consistent care to feel safe and comfortable. I provide a peaceful, low-stress setting where your cat can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to feeding routines, litter box cleanliness, and behavior changes, and I take the time to build trust with each cat at their own pace. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I adjust my care to fit their needs. My goal is to make sure your cat feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.
About: Hello! I'm Audrey E, and I'm thrilled at the opportunity to be your next one-off or regular pet-sitter! I grew primarily around dogs, specifically American bulldogs, Jack Russell terriers, pitbulls, Shiba Inus, and lab breeds. Since the end of 2024, I’ve gained lots of experience caring for cats as well. I can provide excellent care in playing, feeding, and walking your dogs and/or cats. I also can do overnight stays. I'm unable to do boarding; however, in your home, I will make sure that your pets are comfortable and safe under my care. My availability as of April 30th, 2025: • Mondays - Fridays: available all day + overnights. • Saturdays - Sundays: available all day + overnights. • I frequently check on the pets to make sure I let them out at the right times to go to the bathroom. • I make sure they have food and water, and refill when needed. • If the pets are cuddlers, I love cuddling with them.

“She was awesome- my first Rover experience and it went well! My dog was so excited to see her the next day so that says a lot. Easy to work things out with her and she is very responsive. I also received numerous photos of my pup throughout the day which I appreciate! Thanks Stephanie!”
About: I've always had personal pets and have been the designated petsitter for my neighborhood since i was a child. I've spent the last decade professionally training & boarding all types of dogs, cat, and falconry birds. I'm currently open and available all days of the week. My life is my dogs/family and there is always room for more furry (& feathery, scaley, ect) friends. 💜 I have a fenced garden area and 4 dogs at home who are crate trained. I can accommodate most requests and love a schedule & routine, whether in my home or in yours.
“Very impressed how Linda treated Oscar my Maltese with full attention that made my husband and I feel good about leaving Oscar. Now we don’t need to worry the next time we go for a long vacation. We finally found someone we fully trust and take care of our baby like family. My dog also learned how to ring the bell when he needs to go out. Linda doesn’t only took care of our Oscar but also trained him something he can do that we were not aware about . Kudos to Linda.”
About: Hi, I grew up around several different animals of all sizes from rodents/reptiles to livestock/dogs. I have always had at least one dog in my life at all times. The more the merrier. I love all animals big and small. I worked at a kennel where I learned about boarding and training dogs for about a year and I have pet sat for about 15 years in grand total. I currently work at a pet store in Sutter Creek. I love being around dogs and training or even just hanging out and playing. I am a outdoorsy person. I have experience with livestock animals also. Horses, cattle, chickens, Lhamas, mini animals, donkeys. I have references also if you would like them. Our home is completely fenced and sits on 3 acres. We have two friendly german shepherds. I work part time so some days I am gone at work. But our 17 year old daughter is always home. We also go to church Sunday morning so we would be gone for a couple hours but otherwise we are always home. I care for pets in my home as I would my own. I have 3 German Shepherds. 10 months to 7 years old. As for in home pet sitting I would follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies already so it would be easier on them.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and my first dog was an Australian shepherd, Wish, who was my companion since I was 10 years old. Throughout the years, I’ve honed my training skills and attended Valor K9 Academy’s shadow program in May 2021. My husband and I currently have a Siberian Husky, Newt, whom we participate in conformation and other fun sports with. He has his UKC Ch and IABCA Ch and also his CGCA and TKA titles, and we are hoping to add some more titles this coming year. I have trained puppies to seniors and specialize in obedience and off-leash work. We currently already have experience boarding in-home with current clients and dogs that go through our evaluation during a consultation. Dog training is my full-time job, and besides volunteering at a local raptor center to gain experience to become a falconer, I spend my days at home with Newt and other dog(s) that we may have. My husband is a manager at a trucking company and helps when he is available/free, usually in the early morning and evenings, and also handles our finances. All pets are supervised. We are strict with our house rules including with our own dog, so if any dog(s) will not be supervised or I am out of the home, they will be crated for their safety and my peace of mind. Dogs are worked mentally and physically during their stay through enrichment and treadmill and training, and must be polite or will learn to be polite to other dogs staying concurrently.
About: I have been a full-time puppy whelper for the past 8 years and come highly recommended with lots of references. I welcome all different breeds. I am always home. While I do have to pick up and drop off my children for their various sports and activities, it’s just a five minute drive away.I am always available. Plus, I’m attending school online from the comfort of my home. I live on 1 1/2 acres with a mini horse, two small goats that like to visit the neighbors and two potbelly pigs. Additionally I have two older French bulldogs who are house trained and very friendly, as well as two cane corsos who get along well with all animals including pony,goats, and pigs- they’re all pals! All of my animals are well-behaved , and I’ve often been told I should’ve been a vet or a dog trainer because of my love for animals. I have two separate backyards-one for the smaller dogs and one for the bigger ones. However I’m accustomed to rotating them due to my experience as a whelper. I know how to manage introducing new dogs and keeping them separate if needed.My dogs have access to indoors and outdoors, and they sleep in the house at night. I’ve set up set up my garage to be cozy and welcoming for dogs to stay in at night.
About: We have had dogs in our home our entire life. They are always a family member and treated with the best of love and care. I come from a family of breeders and a hunting and show dogs. Our seniors are loved and cared for savoring every last day. We have a ranch with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and explore as well as a huge dog run. We offer different places to keep them safe if running off leash is not the best for your baby. I am a self-employed realtor, who works from home. My husband is a rancher and contractor so one of us is typically home there are times of course when we leave but everybody is locked up safe and sound and they are also welcome to take the car ride with us should we need to run some errands. if it’s important that nobody ever leaves your baby, we can make that accommodation as well. We have a 12 x 24 kennel with multiple dog houses we have kennels of different sizes. We also have a barn with 12 x 12 stalls. We have a fenced in deck that is 30 x 50 so there are many opportunities for your baby to be outside in the fresh air And still be safe. If your dog is an inside dog, we will keep him inside with us and he will be warm and cozy at bedtime.
“This was my first time using ROVER.and am completely satisfied!! We arrived at our hotel and learned that while it is pet friendly you can’t leave your animal unattended. We had planned two days of motorcycle riding and having him ride in front of me was not an option. In a panic I downloaded Rover from the App Store and found Michele!! The entire family was AMAZING!! Their dog CC made Moultrie feel at home. In fact he had such a great time the first day that he bounded into the house the next morning! THANK YOU for everything!! Jessica”
About: Allow me to love on your pups and kitties (or other critters!) to fill the creature quotas in my life, as well as work with you on what will be most effective in caring for them. Cuddles and positive reinforcement are very important to me. Since 2013 I have had the pleasure of being professionally involved in caring for several animals and reptiles (some with special needs). I began nannying and housekeeping for a wonderful family in Seattle, and my duties included the regular care of two high energy pups, and one had special needs toward the last year of her life, requiring daily medications. When that family stopped needing full-time care, I began working for a local company as a dog walker and sitter. I have since worked with dozens of families both on and off of this company, so please reach out with any questions or concerns about the care of your furry friends. I quit my day job in June 2021 and have been doing strictly petsitting ever since. I am working toward finding my own path in the pet care industry, as well as building up for major traveling adventures. Until then, I look forward to continuing to do this work, as it is very rewarding, and fulfilling. I value communication and empathy with animals. I first learn about any pet or livestock before approaching unless spoken about beforehand! I will treat them like they are mine, with structure and much much love.
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have had many pets; dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, sheep and more. I thoroughly enjoy being with animals, loving and caring for them. Some of my first jobs were at animal clinics, where I learned a lot about caring for animals. I was in FFA as a youth, where I raised and showed sheep, and where I also learned a lot. In my younger years I had many horses. I learned how to care for them, feeding, exercising, and cleaning up after them, etc! I learned responsibility, in addition to a deep love of animals. All of my experiences with my own animals, have made me a knowledgeable, responsible and compassionate animal care provider. I am currently semi-retired from working in the hospitality industry. I have plenty of time and I would thoroughly enjoy taking care of your beloved pets. I have an adorable mini schnauzer, Dudley, and a domestic short hair cat, Pete. I love them both so much and get so much enjoyment out of having and caring for them. We love cuddling, talking, and playing. I make sure they have the food, treats, exercise and attention they desire, and are well taken care of and will treat yours with the same love and respect that I show to my own pets.
“Wow! What a great experience we had with Adam and Lauren. It was way above and beyond our expectations. We couldn’t say enough about their generosity and service. When we told Adam that we are having our anniversary, he made himself more available and making our trip more memorable. We highly recommend their service. We really like the way how Adam meets up first with our dog, and his knowledge about dog behavior and needs. The walks he takes our dog on were breathtaking views. You can see that they really love animals. So now, we have found our dog sitter for our dog, Rocky. So if you’re heading to South Lake Tahoe, and you need a dog sitter, we highly recommend Adam and Lauren.”
“My high-energy large Lab and Golden Retriever puppy had an amazing day with Michelle and her family on their farm, and came home tired and well-cared for ❤️. Hope they will be able to visit again soon! Thank you again!”
“Teeda and her husband did an amazing job taking care of auggie. She was very responsive, communicative, sent numerous pictures throughout the day, and flexible with a change in plans. Auggie loved going with her and came back happy and tired. Will book her again for our next ski trip!”
About: There is no furry friend that I do no enjoy being around! I've had the opportunity to love and care for many different animals since I was very young. The last couple years I have fostered kittens and have been able to see more than 20 beautiful babies go to their furrever homes! I have owned, and taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes my entire life. I am able to give medication through injections, and am not shy with training either! My dream is to one day run an animal sanctuary for hurt and endangered animals. Sunday- Saturday 8am- 8pm I have an open schedule and would love to spend it with your animals! Don't hesitate to message me. I can work with whatever plans needed. I offer house sitting/pet sitting and dog walking. For both services I will be going to your home to either care for animals, or pick them up for a walk around your neighborhood. I look forward to seeing the next animal as it is always a special experience.
“Charleston, our 65-lb shepherd/lab mix, hadn't been anywhere for ages, due to COVID, so I was a little worried to drop him off with a stranger for a few hours, but Aryela made him feel right at home! He was tired, as one would expect, but in a great mood, after his stay with Aryela. Great choice!”
“Two weeks after adopting a rescue, I was nervous to leave him with anyone and almost cancelled my trip to the snow, but we found Sara instead! She took such good care of my boy who had been through a lot in two weeks! He had a great day and once we got home, had one VERY great sleep!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and my first dog was an Australian shepherd, Wish, who was my companion since I was 10 years old. Throughout the years, I’ve honed my training skills and attended Valor K9 Academy’s shadow program in May 2021. My husband and I currently have a Siberian Husky, Newt, whom we participate in conformation and other fun sports with. He has his UKC Ch and IABCA Ch and also his CGCA and TKA titles, and we are hoping to add some more titles this coming year. I have trained puppies to seniors and specialize in obedience and off-leash work. We currently already have experience boarding in-home with current clients and dogs that go through our evaluation during a consultation. Dog training is my full-time job, and besides volunteering at a local raptor center to gain experience to become a falconer, I spend my days at home with Newt and other dog(s) that we may have. My husband is a manager at a trucking company and helps when he is available/free, usually in the early morning and evenings, and also handles our finances. All pets are supervised. We are strict with our house rules including with our own dog, so if any dog(s) will not be supervised or I am out of the home, they will be crated for their safety and my peace of mind. Dogs are worked mentally and physically during their stay through enrichment and treadmill and training, and must be polite or will learn to be polite to other dogs staying concurrently.

“Bailey has been walking my two dogs while I am away at work. She Is very trustworthy and reliable. It gives me piece of mind knowing my dogs are well taken care of, and I love that I get a picture of them every time they go out.”
About: I have been owned by cats and dogs in the past. I recently transferred with my job from the East Coast to Utah, and now reside in Northern California and currently frequent the Humane Society to visit with the cats and dogs waiting for homes. Pet Sitting - I am able to walk them/feed in the mornings and after 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Thursday - Sundays more frequently. I do prefer overnight pet sitting. I am reliable, responsible and have a "knack" with most pets. I do need to know about any behavioral issues (likes to chew on things that aren't their toys for example). Do they do well with new people? I prefer not to sit pit bull terriers, but mixed breeds I don't have a problem with.

My husband is a rancher and contractor so one of us is typically home there are times of course when we leave but everybody is locked up safe and sound and they are also welcome to take the car ride with us should we need to run some errands. if it’s important that nobody ever leaves your baby, we can make that accommodation as well. We have a 12 x 24 kennel with multiple dog houses we have kennels of different sizes. We also have a barn with 12 x 12 stalls. We have a fenced in deck that is 30 x 50 so there are many opportunities for your baby to be outside in the fresh air And still be safe. If your dog is an inside dog, we will keep him inside with us and he will be warm and cozy at bedtime.

I also watch my sister's dogs all the time, and I've decided to turn my love of dogs into a profession.

I have delt with dogs of every age from my grandparents older German Shepard of 14 years old to my dog Mr. Buddy as a young 12 week old pup. I can assure that I will adhere to any safety practices that you want for your fur baby. I also have my 4 year old Aussie, Mr. Buddy, that does great with other dogs and socializing them. I've seen him help mentally troubled dogs many times. Off course I will not bring him if the client doesn't want him there. But once again I care assure that any dog will be safe under my care.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of dogs, fish, and especially cats! I have training from the SPCA on dog walking, cat care, and some skill/behavioral training for both cats and dogs. I have 3 years of fish keeping experience. I currently have my own cat (he’s orange!) and I am fostering a mother and her kitten for the time being. I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I am looking to take on as many hours as possible! I am currently in college, but only have classes Monday and Wednesday and can work around my school schedule. I am unable to bring pets home due to having my own cat and living in an apartment with a single pet deposit! But I am just fine coming to you! I offer dog walking, some behavioral training while pet sitting/walking, in home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of caring for pets — I’ve had animals since I was a kid, and my own elderly chihuahua keeps me tuned in to the love and patience pets need at every stage of life. I’m gentle with seniors, patient with puppies, and treat every animal like family. With my background as a personal assistant, I’m reliable, organized, and attentive to all the little details that keep pets happy and safe. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I care for my own elderly chihuahua every day, so things like walks, feeding, snuggles, and keeping routines are already built into my schedule. I also work as a personal assistant, which means I’m organized, flexible, and used to balancing responsibilities with care and attention. Making time for animals is easy for me because it’s something I truly enjoy and value. I have a flexible schedule and for the most part I can fit into your routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and double-check that doors, gates, and food/medications are handled with care. I take time to create a calm, loving environment so your pets feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for like family. At my own home, my elderly gal gets free run of the space. She sleeps on the bed, we do walks, treats, and play with her favorite toys (her llama with a unicorn horn), you dog would receive the same treatment. :)

My pets and the pets that I host enjoy joining me on morning and afternoon walks on trails and playing fetch. I keep a close eye on them when we are outside.

“Lisette was awesome! We arrived super late on our drop off day and Lisette waited up and accommodated our late arrival. Luna was happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would happily leave her with Lisette again.”
“We absolutely love Michelle and highly recommend her. She is loving with our pets and makes them feel right at home. You will never regret using Michelle when you have pet setting needs.”
“We boarded our 130lb Great Dane with Elisabeth for just over a week. He is new to boarding and has not been socialized with other people or dogs much. Elisabeth excepted this challenge and succeeded in making him comfortable. She also throughly dealt with an emergency issue that required vet attention during his stay. I highly recommend Elisabeth and her Swansboro Vacation Care for any of your boarding needs. Thanks Elisabeth for your care and effort while boarding our dog.”
“Sara was a great sitter! She helped me out last minute, when I needed a quick place for my puppy. Ranger was happy when I picked him up and exhausted from all the running around he was able to do. Would highly recommend and would love to schedule another time for Ranger to hang out!”
“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”
“Sharon and Albert are AMAZING! This is by the far the best experience I've ever had leaving my pup! Blitzen is very sensitive and it takes her quite a long time to warm up to new people and she was comfortable immediately. I received pictures each day and I could tell what a great time she was having. For me Sharon and Albert are the only choice for watching Blitzen in the future.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Meghan and Peter! To say I was nervous about leaving my dog for a week is an understatement. 🫣 After talking with Meghan for 5 minutes, I was completely comfortable and knew this was the right place for Clover. She is so kind, loving, and gentle. Her communication was detailed and I received pictures, updates, and reassurances. ❤️ Clover was SO happy to have 3 doggie friends to run and sniff with! (She honestly seems a little bored now at home! 😆) Peter was very generous in accommodating our pick up time, which really was above and beyond. Needless to say, I would not hesitate to book with them again. Thank you! ☺️”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
About: I have been a volunteer trainer with the Sierra At Tahoe Avalanche Dogs since I was about 10. My father runs the dog program so I grew up being taught how to train, take care of, and watch over dogs since I was a toddler. At the ski mountain I helped drill the dogs to find subjects in the snow, played, walked, fed, took to the bathroom, and watched over the dogs ages ranging from puppies to senior dogs. My family also has three dogs and three cats all of I have assisted in training, and most of the time look after on my own. I recently left my job so I am open full time with my schedule to take part in pet care. On some days I do need to watch my own animals since my parents work full time, but even then I am always available for even just a check in if needed! I make sure my pets have a set in feeding time as well as they have a signal for bathroom breaks, even if they do not show me they need to go I will periodically let them outside or take them on a walk. Besides just food and bathroom I love to work on skills, tricks, and just playing with the dogs throughout the day as to make sure they are enriched and happy. These qualities go for all animals I may watch too! I pride myself in being able to recognize their behavior so I can adapt for them what they need or want!
“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up on a small ranch with animals my entire life goats/sheep/cattle/dogs/cats/fish/hamsters majority of everything. All animals welcome we have plenty of room. I breed goats so there are always babies around and some of my guardian livestock dogs are in there senior years. My animals aren’t allowed inside of my house so it’s a sterile environment for puppies without shots or antisocial animals. If you want them to get accustomed to goats or cats lmk I’ll make it happen. I’m currently just doing college online so my schedule is pretty free. I work part time remotely as well so it has no real schedule. I get very restless when there nothing to do and my animals need me only once a day so would love to give my attention to something else. My personal home is a 10 acre ranch that’s fenced in. There is 1 acre fenced in around the house to keep separate from the livestock and my dogs. So any animal on my personal property that I board will have more of their own domain and environment. At a clients house if there’s no yard walks are gonna be the next best thing, or any in-house games. Make sure the get some energy out so meal time/bath time/medication will be smoother. All changes with the pet and environment though.
About: I’ve raised puppies, kittens, baby birds, chickens and various other animals, I’ve also had experience working on a dog farm and groomed various types of breeds. I’m available for part-time work and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I am open to working Monday-Sun as long as it’s planned at least a week in advance.

“My guy had a ball with Stephanie… lotsa walks, hikes and runs. She did a great job of keeping me up to date during his stay, which I found helpful. Also her dogs were bonus play pals too. Thank you Stephanie!”
“Yet another 10/10 experience with having Sara watch my big, rambunctious pup! Great communication, attention to detail, and tons of fun and engaging activities with my guy, who returned home very happy and tired from all of the good play time. Sara is definitely my go-to going forward!”
“Linda was so great with our dear Moki lab/husky mix. She sent pictures and updates and I always knew our dog was in the best hands. I would use Linda's services again in a heartbeat!”
