About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments.

About: My family has always had 1-2 dogs, and I have been watching other people's dogs for 6 years. My family once had 4 cats and farm animals, so l am also experienced with other animals. I love going on hikes and walks. My clients are always happy with my caretaking, often asking me to watch their animals again. I am able to watch your pet (s) at animals again. I am able to watch your pet (s) at you house, as long as it is clean, but l am also able to watch your pets) at my house, as long as they get along with my families' dog. :) I have watched many types and breeds of dogs (doodle mix, Chihuahua mix, Australian cattle dog, etc) I am currently unemployed, so I have lots of time to give your dogs attention, hikes, or whatever they need. I will only not be available June 8-19, and after mid August my availability will change. I have a fenced yard, and one friendly, smallish dog. I live on a ranch, so beyond the dance there is plenty of space for the dog to run around if they are okay off leash. I also have one cat, so it is preferable that your pet is cat friendly, but if not I may be also to make it work.
“Jane, her partner, and their dog Journey were wonderful hosts for my pup. She worked hard to help Enzo feel at home and loved while I was away. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
About: Hi there! I’m Barr, a wife and mother with a lifelong love for animals. We have a sweet 15-year-old Jack Russell named Indie, and I honestly can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet. Animals have always been a huge part of our family, and our compassion for them is one of the reasons we chose a vegan lifestyle. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets and supporting their health and well-being. As a mom, I’m now looking to earn a little extra income while doing something that truly matters to me—spending time with and caring for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to start doing this and would be perfect for any spontaneous short or long trips! I have a spacious backyard, but unfortunately, it’s not fenced. To keep our dog, Indie, who is incredibly friendly with all animals, safe, I usually take them for three walks each day. We shower her with cuddles and treats from my husband, our baby girl and I each and every day ☺️
“Words cannot express our gratitude to Deborah! We were looking to pull off a beach getaway for our baby and 2 dogs. As the dogs were not allowed at the hotel we had to find a sitter. Deborah is truly a wonderful, kind, gifted human being and anyone would be lucky to know her or have her care for their four-legged friend ! Her house is top notch as she we got to see where our dogs would be hanging out over night. Beautiful home and perfectly set up. She sent us photos throughout our time apart and reassured us everything was going smoothly. Deborah also has 2 other dogs and introduced them to ours upon arrival one at a time making sure they would get along. I truly know once Deborah is taking care of ours or anyone's dogs t hey can be worry free. Hope to be back again soon. Thanks again Deborah.”
About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life. I'm recently retired from a long career as a professional equestrian and horse trainer, and I'm excited to begin this journey of offering pet care services to the community! I have experience with all types and ages of pets ... from very young to very senior. I have experience administering medications, giving injections, and basic first aid. My lifestyle is active, and I'm happy to provide whatever exercise that your pet needs, whether that is a long trail hike, or simply walks around the neighborhood. And lots of love and snuggles of course :) I also have extensive horse experience, and limited experience with other livestock, and I'm happy to provide services for those animals as well. I currently work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, which allows me to work around whatever your pet care needs are. I have a reliable 4 wheel drive vehicle, so I can get to some of the further out Nevada County destinations no problem. I pride myself on being punctual, organized and reliable, and you can rest assured that your pet(s) and home will receive attentive and loving care. I am happy to take care of any additional tasks that you might need around your home while you're away (checking mail, taking out trash, watering plants/garden, etc. )
“I was excited to have a meet and greet with Kathryn and her family. Their house is a perfect getaway for any pup with a large fenced yard for play. Beau was well cared for and Kathryn was very flexible. I would highly recommend.”
About: Offering a safe home away from home, compassionate care, and peace of mind for pet owners is something that all pet sitters should be offering. I go far beyond this standard providing both care and training. Since I was a child, dogs and cats have gravitated toward me and I've always enjoyed their companionship; you can almost always find me with at least one dogs around. It's never been an unruly mass of teeth and paws though; I've always taken the time to teach my furry friends to walk on leash, to have immediate recall, to be polite in kitchen, and to use their voices kindly. I do the same with every animal that I am given care of, gently coaching them to be civil, furry companions while showering them with love. I am currently working from home and set my own schedule. I have a set daily morning and evening walk which your pup(s) will join. During the day, you pup(s) will have company of two dogs, three cats and plenty of pets from me. On weekends we go on adventure hikes. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company during the day. I have crates, leashes, grooming tools and home made dog beds for all pet care needs.
“Very nice. Took my dog out for a long hike and he got a little elk for dinner! I originally booked an early morning pickup but she accommodated us by setting up late for pick up the night before.”

About: I’ve taken care and been around cats since I was little. I’m extremely in tune with their quirks and reading what they’re okay and not okay with. I’ve had 3 of my own cats, male and female. I know how to give oral medications and injections.
“Kay is wonderful! Super communicative, kind, and trustworthy. Best compliment for a pet sitter is when the pet is barely excited to see their owner when they return because they were so well loved, and my cat had obviously been given great care and attention from Kay and was totally normal and regulated when we got home. Thanks so much for everything, Kay!!! Toaster and we appreciate you!!”
About: Since childhood, I have been surrounded by an array of animals, which created a deep respect and love for all animals.

Pets are my #1 priority. I care for them a great deal. My pets at home are cared for with love, attention, food and reliability. I treat my clients pets as my own.

“What a great environment for my dog. The backyard is a dog's dream, especially if your pup likes to run. Yolanda was very accommodating when I was delayed and kept me informed of how Beau was doing during his stay. I would highly recommend Yolanda and her Doggy Day Care.”
“Tasha did an amazing job with Pico! Pico has anxiety and Tasha took extra special care of her. We met with Tasha for a meet and greet and she asked all the right questions. I felt completely comfortable leaving Pico with her. When I picked Pico up I could tell she had been well exercised. I high recomend and I would use Tasha again in the future.”
About: As a cattle dog owner, I'd like to think I have a special set of skills for crazy babies. I have always had rescues and fosters in my home. I have been fortunate to work with foster pets from the Caribbean and Mexico as well, each of these often came with health issues. I have experience with pregnant dogs and cats as well! If you are interested in having your pet stay over, know I have a very friendly dog. She has both experienced having guests and foster pets in the house as well. Tolerant and obedient. I have multiple rooms and baby gates for separation and quiet time. In general, I am a very active and outdoorsy person! So i am happy to take the pets out to the trails or the lake! I live on 10 quiet acres with a fenced yard. There is ample space to play outside or be kept safe and warm inside. I work from home 90% of the days so I can provide full time oversight and care. I also work a job where I can take the dogs with me if you approve! I am fortunate to work from home. I have the ability to provide care all day and night for your pet! I walk each morning and evening and have the option to take your pet out for a walk or a play on the property in both fenced and unfenced areas. I have an older dog who is very arthritic so I am used to caring for the elderly animals as well. Pets in my home have their own room if needed. I have plenty of space for crates. I have a large gated deck and live on 10 acres on a quiet road. My own pets walk daily with me along my road which works well for easy elder dog walks as it is shady even in the summer. It also can provide great training ground as there is little traffic. For the high energy babies, we can play fetch or take to the trails nearby. I have always had rescue pitties so I am comfortable with big cuddly babies. I adopted a cattle dog pup who had clinical anxiety which has taught me how to care for highly intelligent, high energy dogs as well. Treats, love, and confidence makes for a happy dog!
About: Dogs are part of the family! I grew up with animals and have always taken our responsibility to pets seriously. I'm trained as a professional pet nutrition advocate and have experience not just feeding all the pets but truly healing thru nutrition with everything from making whole foods and supplements, to designing recipes and diets, including the treats, to training and socializing dogs of all ages and backgrounds. I've built my schedule around pet care including making the foods and minimum 2 walks a day. I'm happy to make time for the pets anytime! Whether I'm staying over with your dogs or they're staying over with me, I strive to keep them happy and healthy in every way with good nutrition, exercise and quality interaction.

“Kelly was a wonderful sitter for my pup, Wilson! She was so kind and easygoing and Wilson had so much fun going on a hike and playing with her new puppy all afternoon:) It was a huge weight off my shoulders to know that he was safe and getting some good exercise while I was away! I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a daytime dog sitter.”

About: I grew up with a family of people and pets. I have always loved animals and always will. Often times my parents would leave the house for a get away. I am an only child so it would always be up to me to watch what was a big part of my life 2 cats and 2 dogs. It was something that was so natural to me being I grew up doing and my parents always trusted me with the duty. As of the moment I live alone with no pets and being lonely, would love to spend some quality time with a furry companion being I'm not allowed to own a pet in the apartment where I live. I have experience with both dogs and cats, small dogs, big dogs or any cat. Thanks.
About: I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working as a professional dog sitter, and I genuinely love what I do. Taking care of animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s a passion. Each dog I care for has their own unique personality, and I truly enjoy getting to know them, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing in the yard, or just curling up together for some quiet time, I always strive to create a comforting and fun environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and always treat every pet as if they were my own. It brings me so much joy to know that I can give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are in caring hands. I have a very open schedule, which is very flexible. If you book me to work with your animal, I will be on time, and I am very reliable. When I dog sit, I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own home. I stick to their regular routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I give them lots of attention, affection, and ensure they feel safe and relaxed while their family is away. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I had 3 dogs and 2 cats growing up which I helped to take care of and I’ve worked at a doggy day care company walking and training dogs I’m currently free during the week every day but Wednesday’s. I can do boarding any time and while I’m busy I can leave the dog in my yard which is fenced and very safe, and normally my roommates (who like pets) are around to check in on the dog if I have to leave for a little I have a large fenced front yard and a separate fenced backyard with a pond, plants and lots of space to roam around! I am in a very walkable area and will walk the dogs regularly, or can take them to the beach or a park if they are ok to be in the car. I will never put your dog in a crate and will give them lots of freedom to wander around and relax in my home.

On weekends we go on adventure hikes. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company during the day. I have crates, leashes, grooming tools and home made dog beds for all pet care needs.
“Very nice. Took my dog out for a long hike and he got a little elk for dinner! I originally booked an early morning pickup but she accommodated us by setting up late for pick up the night before.”
