“Alexis's place is in a secluded and safe place with huge lawn and play area for dogs. She is extremely patient and kind with older dogs like ours and has shown willingness to go the extra mile caring for them. Hidden gem and definitely recommendable.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I run a 501(c)(3) dog rescue, regularly transport dogs, care for puppies, seniors, and special-needs dogs, administer medications, work on basic training, leash manners, and provide structured, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule because animals are already a central part of my daily life. I work from home and plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, medications, enrichment, and individualized care. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present for each pet. I have 2 600+ feet plus areas for dogs to run and play. We have a building for them to sleep cozy, clean and safe.
“Diane was really great. I'm pretty sure Sadie had a great time. Diane was very communicative with us and always responded quickly to anything. We will definitely have Sadie stay there again.”
“Linda is a wonderful host. Our dog stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town. She provided us with daily photos and some videos of our dog playing with other visiting dogs. She treats her guests like family. We highly recommend Linda.”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
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 ☺️
“We are glad we found Logan in town! We needed a petsitter for the weekend, and Logan was available! She was great, took them on walks, send pictures and updates! We’d definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Logan for the great care of our pets!”
“Nicole and Jarrod did a great job taking care of Bear while we were gone. We enjoyed the updates and pictures! We were at ease knowing he was being well taken care of”
“Yolanda was awesome!!! She provided my dog a mini vaca filled with lots of playtime and outdoor exploring! I highly recommend Yolanda’s services!! She was just what I expected! kt”
“Olena and Davyd took great care of Lola. They kept her busy and catered to her every need. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing great care for their pets.”
“This was the first time our little dog was going to stay overnight in a new place. Pam was helpful and communicated how he was doing as the week progressed. She was so kind! Our dog was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”
“Debra was wonderful. I was half was around the world & never worried about my boy. She sent lots of pictures & updates, which kept my mind at ease & allowed me to enjoy my trip. I have trouble finding people to watch my boy because Chow Chow’s have a bit of a bad reputation, even though mine is sweet as can be. She didn’t hesitate & I’m so grateful. Would use her services again & again. 🐾”
“Samantha was fantastic with our babies. This is not your typical boarding place. She described it as summer camp for doggies and it is accurate. The area she has set up for the dogs is well thought-out, clean, and meets all of their needs and more. She took lots of pictures (different subject but her pictures were amazing), kept me updated throughout the day and let me know when my dogs were tucked in for the night. My city dogs got to meet horses, goats, and pigs and I think they had a great time, because they slept for so long when they got home. Im looking forward to their next summer camp with Samantha!”
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.

“Mikayla is great! Her communication is excellent, and she did a great job of giving one of our kitties his medication, which can be difficult. We are glad to have found her!”
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.
About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have experience with a wide range of animals and personality types starting from a young age. I have a flexible schedule and can work from anywhere with decent internet, so your animals will benefit from an attentive, experienced carer who goes the extra mile to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats, as well as farm animals. I can work with special medical needs or elderly pets.
“Matias is an excellent communicator. I felt so confident and safe leaving my two kitties in his care. I got regular updates and photos and his response time to inquires about my babies was usually immediate but always under 10 mins. I even feel like my house was cleaner than how I left it. Would 100% have Matias stay in my home again.”
About: Cats have been a large part of my sitter services for many many years since high school. I wouldn’t dare call myself a cat expert because all cats are extremely special and specific, though I would venture to say that I can make even the most shy cats enjoy their stay with me! I have experience administering medication and I have experience with special needs cats as well.
“Jillian was great! She ensured Sunny was well looked after and at ease during the fireworks, and she kept me updated with numerous photos of their brushing and cuddling sessions. It's clear that they had many exciting outdoor adventures, given that Sunny is an outdoor cat. Jillian ensured his food and water dishes were always full, provided plenty of tuna snacks, and even cleaned his litter box. Considering the way they interacted in the videos, it's evident that they share a special bond. I wholeheartedly recommend Jillian and will definitely hire her again.”
About: I have taken care of my cat since he was a kitten and now, he's almost 15. Minor health issues as expected, yet still alive and kicking it! He is my number one companion, very close bond. I have trained him to use the potty outside so no need to clean the litterbox as often as he goes to the door. He is given ear drops 3x weekly and taught him to not fight the baths!
“Having someone visit and feed the cat daily was a relief for us. Even though the cat didn’t make an appearance every day the food disappeared so we knew he was there. Just a bit shy and hid on Sheriane most days. This was much less stressful on Charcoal than going to a kennel. Sheriane checked in and kept us updated. 100% would use Rover and Sheriane again. Thank you”
“Sasha dropped in on my dog Willow a few times this week and I could not have asked for a better person to take care of her. Willow is very nervous around strangers, generally very distrustful and defensive, but she seemed to connect with Sasha from the start at the meet and greet. Sasha was so sweet and understanding with her, never pushing Willow to interact more than she wanted to. When she dropped in, Sasha took Willow outside and played with her (sent me the most adorable video!!), refilled her water, gave her some treats, and cuddled with her on the couch. Before she left on the last day she even cleaned up some of Willow's toys, which I am always terrible about doing. It was such a sweet gesture when I myself was already nervous about someone coming over, it put me right at ease. ? Sasha was very communicative and went above and beyond dropping in on Willow and I couldn't be more grateful. I will definitely contact her again for future drop ins when I need them!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8. I have had two dogs of my own for 12 years. Friends and family have asked me to watch their dogs including walks, bathing, feeding, and playing with them. I am currently home for the summer from college so i would have plenty of time to take care of dogs. I would be available Monday-Saturday at any time of the day willing to do whatever it is you need for your dog. At my clinets home I would care for pets by making sure my clinet knows my scheduel so they would know what time I would be with the dog, ask permission if I bring someone else to help me on walks, and making sure I have all the information and instructions I need. I currently am home from college for the summer and not working other than babysitting my niece and dog sitting other dogs! I rarely go on vacation since my whole family out here is working so I’m free anytime!! I can stay with the dog pretty much 24/7, but if I ever leave I can crate the dog if need be. I can give daily walks 2-3 times a day, and follow their feeding schedule and daily routine if they have one.
“This was our first time using rover and Sraddha was great to work with. She offered to meet before our trip and took great care of our kitties while we were away. We were grateful for the updates she sent and she even checked to make sure all was well when we returned.”
“Thank you, Ella, for your drop-in visits! Ella dropped in to look in on my two senior cats. They are somewhat "quirky" and one requires oral medication. The cats took to Ella immediately, which was surprising but made it much more comfortable leaving the two kitties in her care. They obviously could tell that she appreciated animals and she treated them with kindness throughout her care. I recommend Ella for your pet care needs and plan on scheduling more drop-in visits for out-of-town trips. Thank you, Ella, for your diligence and care with my fur babies!”
About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I would love to spend time with your pup while you're out adventuring! With over 10 years of experience, I have cared for a variety of animals in different life stages. I’m dedicated to keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible, with added playtime and lots of pets to ensure they're happy and healthy. Safety is my top priority, and I always ensure a secure environment for your furry friend. I enjoy walking, running, and hiking with dogs, and love spending time outside playing their favorite games. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup soon! As a dog mom to two high-energy dogs, pet care is already a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I also work part-time allowing me the flexibility to meet all your pups scheduling needs, keeping them safe and happy. In clients' homes, I maintain pets' routines, offer plenty of playtime, and prioritize their safety. I ensure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for.
About: I began working with animals at a young age, volunteering at local shelters such as the Truckee Humane Society and caring for dogs in the Tahoe community. Over the years, this has grown into a genuine passion for providing thoughtful, attentive, and reliable care for pets of all kinds. I prioritize quality time, enrichment, and exercise tailored to each dog’s individual needs whether that’s a structured walk, outdoor adventure, or simply calm, consistent companionship. I am especially mindful of maintaining routines, reinforcing good behavior, and ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel connected and confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. References are available upon request. My schedule is consistent and well-structured, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care. I’m intentional about the number of pets I take on so that each dog receives plenty of one-on-one time, exercise, and engagement. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, and I do my best to accommodate specific routines or requests whenever possible. Whether your dog thrives on activity or prefers a slower pace, I tailor my schedule to meet their needs and keep things as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live on a large property that provides plenty of space for movement and exploration in a calm, natural setting. For safety, I always use a leash during walks and outdoor time until a strong relationship and reliable recall are established—or always, if that is your preference. I’m attentive to each dog’s temperament, boundaries, and energy level, and I strive to create a secure, low-stress environment where they feel confident and cared for. Clear communication with owners is important to me, and I follow all instructions closely to ensure continuity of care.
“Kristen is so thoughtful and caring with our dogs! She allowed us the peace of mind to enjoy a day away, knowing that our fur babies were looked after. We especially loved that she sent us a video of the pups while we were gone. While getting to know us, Kristen spent a good amount of time with all of the dogs and me, and I felt confident right away with her capabilities. I will definitely use Kristen again!”

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!

“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.”

I have complete confidence in her ability to take care of my pet, and I look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Nicole and Jarrod are amazing for doggy daycare. You know your dog has fun when they’re excited to leave not to mention the fun places they take the dogs. Thanks again guys”

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. )
“Louisa was very accommodating about drop-off and pick-up. She sent photo updates throughout the day and it was clear that our dog, Stella, had a wonderful day playing with resident dog Jin. Lots of space to run and play on their convenient property near Nevada City.”
“Olena was super sweet and great with my dog. Had a previous bad experience with Rover so refreshing to have someone great with dogs. My dog never eats at a strangers and ate while staying with Olena so she’s family!! Thank you for giving him a wonderful place to stay!!”
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.
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: Hi, we are Molly, Massimo and Zali. We've had dogs in our families and had taken care of pets of all kinds since we were kids. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on us to walk, feed and care for their pets of all shapes & sizes. We use positive reinforcement for training and pride ourselves on having trained Zali & other dogs basic commands, to walk both on & off leash, plus some fun party tricks. Our favorite “trick” is to ring a bell to go outside. On rainy days, we play hide & seek games with toys & treats around the house to make sure we’re all still getting plenty of stimulation. We’re still unsure who’s more entertained, us or the dogs, when they’re are searching for their reward ;) We are enthusiastic hosts & look forward to meeting you & your pup! We work from home and begin each day with a good romp in our big back yard and a long neighborhood walk. Our yard has plenty of shade and running water. Doggos and humans alike love it here 💓🐶 We live on a 2 acre fully fenced lot and have a sweet, 5 year old female boxer mix that will keep your dog company. She happily shares her toys; playing with other doggo friends & sunny naps are some of her favorite pastimes. While she is a large and playful dog, she is able to match any dogs level of excitement and play.
“Katya provided a safe, comfortable, happy play stay for our 20-month-old golden retriever. Mattie loved playing with Dewi and Mishka! Katya's calm demeanor put our girl at ease right away. You can tell that she is a dog lover who understands how to take charge while still having fun. Definitely will use her services in the future!”
“Danielle is so great with our little Chi mix, Margeaux. She treats her & loves her as if she were a member of her own family. Sends photo updates daily and is flexible with dtop-off and pick-up times. My puppy always leaves her home having had lots of exercise and attention. It's so nice to be able to go to work knowing my furry little one will be happy and kept safe for the day. I highly recommend her! :)”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I walk a malamute and husky a lot. I pet sit for smaller dogs too. I love walking dogs because it’s a good exercise for them I currently am still in high school I graduate in June so right now I’m available to walk dogs around 4pm. I drive so I can do a little far distance When walking dogs I walk them for an hour and I always bring water to make sure they get the water they need and don’t overheat
About: Since high school I have had experience with normal pets to the exotic! I can honestly say that each animal is an individual that deserves their specific needs acknowledged and met. I do have experience with senior animals that need medication as well as special needs, there hasn’t been an experience that I haven’t learned from! I’ve even read books like Caesar’s Way in order to better understand my own pets and help them. I’ve even been known to be a bit of a perfectionist although that was in my earlier years now I can gladly say am a seasoned sitter! Please feel free to reach out to me before booking my care and I will answer any and all questions! Caring for your family member fits into my routine because at the moment I am a dog Mom of one dachshund with a good partner that loves her as much as I do! I also do volunteer work, which is extremely flexible. Aside from that a lot of what I do is online, which works out great when pet care is involved I will care for your family member by noting all of their needs as well as asking any questions I have about the environment if it was not already covered in our introduction. I like to take notes!
About: Since 2023, my paid experience has included overnight and daytime home stays, for up to 24 hours at a time or weekly. Imagine a Mary Poppins for your beloved pets who provides the social and emotional support to buffer you during long getaways. Two walks daily, if needed, by forest or urban trail. I am here to ensure the proper amount of exercise. I am here to guide the fun, support the snuggles, and provide proper nutrition. Multiple types of animals welcome. I have passed numerous background checks as an elementary school substitute teacher. So I have full availability overnight, on weekends, and for extended periods between Nevada County and Placer County. I usually stay a week or more with fur babies. You can relax knowing I am keeping the utmost care and safety of your animals and home. References on request. I want to clarify during our visit if you need care at the 2-hour, 4-hour, or 6-hour interval beyond the overnight stay of 7 pm to 7 am. Communication is key! I will send daily pictures or updates. For best prevention, talking about the details with the owner and ground rules produces the best results. Topics will include where the pet feels most comfortable such a calm spaces or crating procedures. I make sure to go over emergency contacts and preferred clinics. Also, I keep a clean environment that ensures the safety of pets for food handling.
About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have experience with a wide range of animals and personality types starting from a young age. I have a flexible schedule and can work from anywhere with decent internet, so your animals will benefit from an attentive, experienced carer who goes the extra mile to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats, as well as farm animals. I can work with special medical needs or elderly pets.
“Makenna has been walking and looking after our 2 dogs for the past few months. She responds to messages and changes in schedules promptly. Our schedules are constantly evolving and Makenna stays in constant communication to make sure our dogs receive the care they need. She is great with our puppy and our adult dog, who typically is not very fond of strangers. I highly recommend using Makenna and we have referred her to our friends with dog needs.”
About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.
About: I began working with animals at a young age, volunteering at local shelters such as the Truckee Humane Society and caring for dogs in the Tahoe community. Over the years, this has grown into a genuine passion for providing thoughtful, attentive, and reliable care for pets of all kinds. I prioritize quality time, enrichment, and exercise tailored to each dog’s individual needs whether that’s a structured walk, outdoor adventure, or simply calm, consistent companionship. I am especially mindful of maintaining routines, reinforcing good behavior, and ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel connected and confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. References are available upon request. My schedule is consistent and well-structured, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care. I’m intentional about the number of pets I take on so that each dog receives plenty of one-on-one time, exercise, and engagement. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, and I do my best to accommodate specific routines or requests whenever possible. Whether your dog thrives on activity or prefers a slower pace, I tailor my schedule to meet their needs and keep things as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live on a large property that provides plenty of space for movement and exploration in a calm, natural setting. For safety, I always use a leash during walks and outdoor time until a strong relationship and reliable recall are established—or always, if that is your preference. I’m attentive to each dog’s temperament, boundaries, and energy level, and I strive to create a secure, low-stress environment where they feel confident and cared for. Clear communication with owners is important to me, and I follow all instructions closely to ensure continuity of care.
About: I offer calm, attentive care for pets, with a steady presence that helps animals feel safe and settled. • Experienced with dog walking, feeding, and drop-in care • Calm, attentive, and intuitive with animals of all temperaments • Comfortable with routines, medications, and special needs • Reliable and respectful in both short visits and extended care Over the past several years, I’ve immersed myself in house and pet sitting, earning a reputation for reliability, cleanliness, discretion, and a calm, responsible presence. I’m often entrusted with extended and live-in care, and I take stewardship of both pets and home seriously. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals and situations, including long-term dog sitting for a couple over several years, from weekend trips to multi-week stays. Before a period of travel abroad, they even flew me to Portland to care for their dogs, Sana and Osa, and their cat Ninja during a three-week wedding trip to Mexico. Sana required extra sensitivity and daily car rides to a quiet cemetery to avoid overstimulation, which I was happy to accommodate. I’ve also house- and pet-sat for a senior couple, caring for two cats, two chickens, and managing a daily bird-feeding system for local avian visitors who were dear companions to the homeowner. In another sit, I tended to a rescue crow and her two cat companions for a full month while the owners were in India studying Vedic astrology. In many of these situations, I’ve also been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, maintaining routines, and simply being a reassuring human presence in the home—keeping things running smoothly, lights on, and the house clearly lived-in while owners are away. I’m very comfortable accommodating unique requests and supporting both pets and homes with care and respect. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and adapt my day around your pets’ needs. I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and companionship, and I’m open to coordinating routines that support your pet’s comfort and wellbeing. I provide care in my clients’ homes, maintaining their pets’ normal routines and environment. I focus on calm, attentive presence, safety, and clear communication. I’m comfortable administering medication, managing feeding and exercise, and keeping the home clean, secure, and lived-in while you’re away. I treat each home and animal with respect, discretion, and care.
About: Some of my earliest memories are of taking care of Queensland Heeler puppies in my outdoor playhouse. My parents were breeders & ever since then I’ve had a very special connection to dogs! I have taken care of many different types of furry friends from puppies to seniors, from chihuahuas to Belgian Malinois. I have also fostered rescues in my home from time to time. All while having two dogs myself! Looking to build a relationship with a few clients who need their pups walked daily/ boarded while they are away at work or vacation. I am a new stay at home mom so my schedule is very open & flexible! I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet and mine to run and play! I can also provide a crate in a spare bedroom for your pet if they need their own space. I am also very big on walks, me and my dogs go on a walk everyday! Plenty of treats & pets will be provided as well as updates & photos to you!
About: Been a proud owner of goats, cats, chickens, reptiles and dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with and cared for livestock and house pets. I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in PV. My schedule is Monday through Thursday from 8:30/9:00am to 5pm. If your pet is able to be left home while I work then perfect! Otherwise I am fully available for long weekends. :) In my own home I have reptiles and three cats and one older dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8. I have had two dogs of my own for 12 years. Friends and family have asked me to watch their dogs including walks, bathing, feeding, and playing with them. I am currently home for the summer from college so i would have plenty of time to take care of dogs. I would be available Monday-Saturday at any time of the day willing to do whatever it is you need for your dog. At my clinets home I would care for pets by making sure my clinet knows my scheduel so they would know what time I would be with the dog, ask permission if I bring someone else to help me on walks, and making sure I have all the information and instructions I need. I currently am home from college for the summer and not working other than babysitting my niece and dog sitting other dogs! I rarely go on vacation since my whole family out here is working so I’m free anytime!! I can stay with the dog pretty much 24/7, but if I ever leave I can crate the dog if need be. I can give daily walks 2-3 times a day, and follow their feeding schedule and daily routine if they have one.
“Sarah has been awesome with our two dogs, one being a puppy brand new to the house and the other very shy and submissive. I loved the descriptions of her time with them and her fast response time. I would 100% recommend her and will continue to use her.”
About: Hi! My name is Ella. I love all animals. I am a Cal Poly Pomona Graduate with a BS in Apparel Production as well as I have my 200hr Yoga Certification. I had two Labradors growing up. I am very good with training and using treats for techniques/training etiquette. I love going on walks, but miss having a walking buddy. I am originally from Northern California but have been in Southern California for 7 years. Well-trained animals preferably, with commands:). I love all dogs, big and small, young or old. Your dog will love me. Please let me know if they have any allergies, or any special toys/ harnesses as well. Can’t wait to meet your pup and you. I am very sociable as well! Feel free to ask questions! I can also transport myself or your pup when needed. I have a three-year-old cat named Phoenix. He likes to be brushed and gets treats of course before the brushing 3/4 times a week! I think hygiene is very important when living with animals. We are still working on Phoenix's leash comfortability. But I am willing to fit walks with your dogs into my daily routine if you will have me! I have been missing walking, playing, training, and giving dogs treats ever since becoming a cat mom. I am a very organized and clean person. I vacuum twice a week or more with having a cat, and a rug that he loves to play on. I clean Phoenix's water and food bowls twice a week or more so as to not have any build-up or potential for mold/fungus/bugs. Cleaning his litter box every couple of days is a necessity for me as well as disinfecting the box every other week or more, depending on the week :).
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have a wonderfully trained chi who is truly the light of my life. I love teaching dogs new tricks, challenging their mind and getting them great exercise! I know that above all, love and patience is the best training tool. I believe that dogs have feelings and as humans in charge of our furry friends we must be sensitive at all times to their individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!!

“Alexis's place is in a secluded and safe place with huge lawn and play area for dogs. She is extremely patient and kind with older dogs like ours and has shown willingness to go the extra mile caring for them. Hidden gem and definitely recommendable.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I run a 501(c)(3) dog rescue, regularly transport dogs, care for puppies, seniors, and special-needs dogs, administer medications, work on basic training, leash manners, and provide structured, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule because animals are already a central part of my daily life. I work from home and plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, medications, enrichment, and individualized care. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present for each pet. I have 2 600+ feet plus areas for dogs to run and play. We have a building for them to sleep cozy, clean and safe.
“Diane was really great. I'm pretty sure Sadie had a great time. Diane was very communicative with us and always responded quickly to anything. We will definitely have Sadie stay there again.”
“Linda is a wonderful host. Our dog stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town. She provided us with daily photos and some videos of our dog playing with other visiting dogs. She treats her guests like family. We highly recommend Linda.”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
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 ☺️
“We are glad we found Logan in town! We needed a petsitter for the weekend, and Logan was available! She was great, took them on walks, send pictures and updates! We’d definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Logan for the great care of our pets!”
“Nicole and Jarrod did a great job taking care of Bear while we were gone. We enjoyed the updates and pictures! We were at ease knowing he was being well taken care of”
“Yolanda was awesome!!! She provided my dog a mini vaca filled with lots of playtime and outdoor exploring! I highly recommend Yolanda’s services!! She was just what I expected! kt”
“Olena and Davyd took great care of Lola. They kept her busy and catered to her every need. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing great care for their pets.”
“Samantha was fantastic with our babies. This is not your typical boarding place. She described it as summer camp for doggies and it is accurate. The area she has set up for the dogs is well thought-out, clean, and meets all of their needs and more. She took lots of pictures (different subject but her pictures were amazing), kept me updated throughout the day and let me know when my dogs were tucked in for the night. My city dogs got to meet horses, goats, and pigs and I think they had a great time, because they slept for so long when they got home. Im looking forward to their next summer camp with Samantha!”
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.
“Danielle is the best! She is friendly, kind & hospitable. We did a meet & greet a few days before my dog’s scheduled drop off. She welcomed us in her home with her dog and we got acquainted. Her home is cute and comfortable. Danielle was a great communicator and even sent me a couple of photos during my dogs stay with her which helped alleviate some of my kids apprehension about our dog being with a new sitter. I know my dog was under the best of care and we will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommended. 💕”
“Abbie did a great job taking care of Ella-dog. Her communication was prompt and professional and most importantly Ella-dog had a great time. 10/10 would happily recommend to anyone.”
“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.”
