“Irina is wonderful! She provides daily updates and videos of Ziggy. She also notifies me if she observes anything significant about my dog, and gives suggestions. I appreciate that. Thank you for caring for Ziggy.”
“We boarded our two dogs for the first time with Carrie and her family for an overnight stay. My husband and I could tell right away that they were going to be in great hands. I appreciated the quick responses and the update on how they were doing. We would definitely utilize this amazing family again and feel safe and reassured doing so. Sincerely, The Navarrete Family”
“Naomi was amazing and has a huge heart for pups. She had our Benny for 2 nights and was great with communicating and updating us with photos and video of his time there. Highly Recommended! We will be using her for all our vacations.”
“I just got my fur babies back from Anais’s overnight stay. She was so kind and caring to them! They adjusted well, and I was really happy with how she took care of them and kept me in the loop. We’ll definitely recommend her as a sitter again and can confidently recommend her to other fur parents who need pet care.”
“I was out of town for about a month and Reginay was amazing taking care of my Aussie "Nac. She keeps me updated every day with photos and videos. Nac came home in great condition after more than 3 weeks of boarding. Highly recommended!”
“Cole is the best! She has taken great care of our dog Harley for a few years now while we enjoy summer vacation. She gives Harley the care and attention that she needs while offering playtime with her own dog Aston. She keeps us up to date with pictures and messages daily and provides special treats that she knows Harley loves . I am so thankful we found Cole and we highly recommend her services.”
“Kirsten was wonderful with my dog. She kept me posted, and was flexible with a later pick-up. Her kids were great with my dog, and kept her entertained, which I appreciated a lot. ☺️”
“I was really nervous about leaving Lewis behind because he's still recovering from surgery (the wound is healed, but he's still fragile), but Jennifer did a great job of keeping his activity restricted while still making sure both of my dogs got lots of love. She also provided regular (2x/day) updates and daily pictures, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I will absolutely be using her again when I need a sitter in this area.”
“Briana was great! She sent pics of my Chewy and Oliver while we were gone and was quick to reply to any messages I sent. They were super calm and happy when I picked them up. Would book again!”
“My dog was very comfortable with Rekha. My dog is usually very nervous and I could tell she enjoyed her stay. Rekha and her family are very nice people and I would recommend her dogsitting to anyone.”
“Catherine is an amazing sitter. Her home is clean and peaceful and my dog had a lovely time there. You can tell she loves dogs and my dog loves her and her husband, even when my husband came to pick him up he went to lie next to Ernie! We plan to use her regularly when we need her service should her schedule allow. Thanks for watching him on short notice!”
“Kenia was awesome with Brownie. She sent updates throughout the entire time and he seemed happy when picking him up although it was dark and he couldn't really see me. He was protective of Kenia which goes to show what kind of bond they developed in such a short time frame. I would recommend and use Kenia again.”
“Aki helped me out soooo much when I needed a sitter for a last minute business trip. She was kind enough to setup a meet and greet which helped Rita feel comfortable. Rita really enjoyed the backyard during the meet and greet. She ran directly towards the backyard when we arrived for dropoff. I was running late for dropoff and Aki was very accommodating to the unexpected delay. Rita can be very clingy and does not enjoy being alone. Aki was sweet and very patient with her. She sent me updates and photos throughout the day which I enjoy. Thank you, Aki!”
“Annie is always so great with our dog. She always sends us pictures and updates 3-4 times a day. She give us peace of mind we go on vacation that our dog is in a safe and loving home. We appreciate you Annie!!”
“Qiana was awesome! She sent multiple videos and pictures everyday with great communication. Dexter seemed to be safe and had a great time with her. She also gave a very nice gift when I picked him up!”
“Wendy was great. She took a last minute booking that allowed us to enjoy our trip with peace of mind. Our dog Miley got along great with Wendy’s two dogs. They couldn’t stop playing all day. Wendy kept us updated with pics and messages. Miley got plenty of long walks while in Wendy’s care. Miley had such a great time that when we got back to pick her up she almost didn’t want to leave. If you’re a husky owner who has a dog with separation anxiety I recommend giving Wendy a try.”

Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I have trained almost all my dogs since they were puppies. I have trained my own service dog. I have a passion for training dogs. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time to play with and train your pup. I can take them for daily walks around the park as well. I have a fenced yard and a nearby park to take your dog for a walk. I have my own friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a cat, but if your dog does not like cats, I can isolate may cat from your dog. My big dog seems to have a way of knowing how to make dogs feel comfortable in our home. He knows when to interact with them and when to just leave them alone. I am retired so I have lots of time to spend with your dog. I try to schedule my activities around when I have dogs, so I can devote all my time to caring for the dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise dogs when they are outside. I try to set up play dates with a neighbor who also works for Rover. My husband and family members are usually around to play with and take dogs on walks. I am currently transforming my services to focus more on training sessions in my client’s home. My main focus is working with young pups and to start training from day one, although I welcome the opportunity to train dogs of all ages. My goals are to offer support to dog owners on how to properly train desired behaviors in their dogs. I closely monitor all dogs, especially during play. I train the dogs how to play appropriately with each other. I will only crate dogs if it’s for their own safety. The only services I do in a client’s home are training sessions with the client present.
“Jenny is the best!!! Always had our cat looking forward to her visits and we enjoyed the pictures/comments. Gave us ease of mind while we were away and she also looked after our snake!! The updates provided let us know our cats mood and eating habits.”
“Kim is the absolutely best! This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous beforehand. However, after our initial messages, I immediately felt comfortable with Kim and knew that our cat was going to be well taken care of and loved while we were away. Before booking, we had the opportunity to meet in person and for our cat to meet her. It was evident that our cat felt comfortable and safe with her right away as well. Kim is an excellent communicator and would share pictures and videos of our cat, Hazel, each visit. She also went above and beyond, bringing in packages for us and even offered to water plants, etc. If you are looking forward to a reliable, kind person to take care of your pets while you’re away, Kim is your person! I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you again Kim ☺️”
“Amy was great! We felt so reassured that our kitty was getting the attention she needed while we were gone. I appreciated the daily photo updates and could tell she took great care of our girl.”
“Another great sir with Cassie! My boys were well taken care of, loved on, and happy with Cassie's care. Cassie's communication is top notch and she gets the cutest pictures of my cats. Very happy with her care.”
About: I truly love cats and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. I’m comfortable giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, and handling all aspects of daily cat care. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply giving them affection, I treat every cat with the same love and attention as my own.
“Patrick did a great job taking care of our dog and our cat for drop-in visits while we were away. He was kind and attentive. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him to others.”
About: I've had at least one cat since I was a child, and I have been housesitting since I graduated from high school. I know that cats have their own behaviors and schedules, and I make sure to adjust to their needs. I have a current RVT license and have been and RVT for over 10 years. I am comfortable with medications and medical treatments if needed. Multi-cat households are no problem.
About: With my combination of animal care knowledge, effective communication, patience, reliability, time management, love for physical fitness, and attention to detail, I will ensure the well-being of the pets I care for and provide peace of mind to pet owners. I am currently a nursing student and I work part time at my local grocery store! I go on walks almost everyday and would love to have a dog with me. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I plan my schedule to prioritize the pets I’m responsible for. I allocate specific times for walks, feeding, play, and any other needs, ensuring consistency and reliability. I’m flexible with my time to accommodate different schedules, such as early morning walks or evening check-ins, depending on what works best for the pet and their owner. I live in close vicinity and I am able to walk with your dog when needed. I can purchase additional materials such as a portable water bowl and leash if needed! When walking pets, their safety and enjoyment are my top priorities. I use secure harnesses or leashes that fit well to ensure they are comfortable and safe during our walk. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels, adjusting the pace and duration of the walk to suit their needs. For energetic dogs, I provide more active walks, incorporating play like fetch if appropriate, while for older or calmer dogs, I keep the walk slower and more relaxed. I always stay aware of the environment, avoiding hazards like hot pavement, harmful plants, or interactions with unfamiliar animals unless the owner approves. I also carry water, waste bags, and treats to ensure their comfort and cleanliness. Additionally, I watch for signs of fatigue or distress to make sure they’re feeling happy and healthy throughout the walk.
About: I grew up with a dog and still have 2 at home. I'm very familiar to their routines and taking care of them. I have been taking care of family friends' dogs for about 4 years now, so I can adjust to multiple other routines. Walking dogs is also no problem for me. I am available to check in on pets at any time between 5 pm and 10 pm on weekdays. I can check in at any time on weekends. I can stay overnight at the house on Fridays and Saturdays since I wont have school in the morning and I can stay for hours at a time. I like to develop more personal relationships with dogs and have fun with the job. I talk to them, play with them, cuddle with them, etc. I want them to look forward to seeing me.
About: I grew up with a mom who LOVES cats. I had a cat named Zena growing up but I always called her boo. Now I have two cats! Bailey- the orange one and Sage- the grey/black one. They have two totally different personalities and I would say I am great with accommodating to both their needs and I will do the same for your fur babies!
About: Aside from having cared for my toy poodle for 12 years until he passed, I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family either during the day or entire vacation. Followed owners’ instructions and gave needed updates on pets’ wellbeing. I’m currently a full time student at community college Monday through Thursday, so while I am capable of being home in between classes, your pets will be able to have my full attention and care Friday through Sunday nights. I have a two story house with a fenced yard for your pets to play. I will abide by whatever instructions required to care for your babies, crate and frequently give potty breaks and walks. Aside from that, I would love to allow them to wander around and lay on the couch.
About: Here’s a sassier spin that sets you apart: "I’ve been bossing the cat-sitting game since I was a kid always had at least three cats of my own, and I’m the go to for family and friends when they need a sitter. I don’t just watch cat I treat them like the vips they are. Your fur baby’s not just in good hands, they’re in the best hands.

You will feel it and so will your fur baby. *She customizes your baby stay to meet their needs *Her home is inviting and EXTREMELY clean (super important to me) *She kept me up to date on what Taylor was doing and sent pics.

“Rekha is very caring and made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. He is usually timid; however, he took an immediate liking to her. She took him for a walk and gave him lots of attention. I will definitely rebook her again!”
“June is the best! Bella spent the day with June and her dog Ceaser. Bella is a special needs dog and June knew just how to work with her to make her feel comfortable. June made sure to keep me posted and updated on Bella throughout her stay. She sent lots of pictures so I could see how she was doing. Her dog Ceaser was great with Bella too. Bella has become very attached to June. She also loves Ceaser, her new gentle giant friend. I strongly recommend June if you’re looking for a very responsible caring sitter for your pup. I know Bella is in good hands with June, and will be using her as our sitter in the future.”
“Irina is a lifesaver! I reached out at the last minute the night before, and she responded immediately, accommodating our needs. I have two small senior dogs, and she was very attentive to them. She sent me videos and photos of them throughout the entire sitting. I felt very relieved knowing my babies were safe and at peace. We will definitely hire Irina again for all our future sitting needs.”
“Domynique was amazing with my puppy Ollie. She sent updates and would provide walks along with just great quality time. She was super accommodating to my commute that she volunteered to meet me half way. Ollie always came home ready for a nap after a great day with Domynique, will definitely be booking again and would recommend 🥰”

I’m Lauren :) ʚ₍ᐢ. ̫.ᐢ₎ɞ a at-home veterinary student with a spacious, non-smoking home and a great backyard. Since I study from home, pets get lots of attention and care throughout the day. I have past experience caring for a Yorkie, two shorthair cats, birds, bunnies, and fish, plus 100+ volunteer hours at my local animal shelter. I know it can be hard to trust someone with your pet, so I always do my best to make both pets and owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident. - Animal Experience: 🐾🐕🐈 I’ve personally cared for a Yorkie and two shorthair cats in the past, and I also have experience looking after birds, bunnies, and fish. This has helped me become comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and care needs across a variety of animals. - Volunteering Experience: (•˕ •マ╮ᕤ Along with my personal experience, I have over 100 volunteer hours at my local animal shelter. Working with shelter animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, even in new environments. - I want every owner to feel reassured knowing their pet will be in kind, attentive, and capable hands with me. I will care for your animal as if they were my own and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re away from you. I’m an at-home student majoring to become a veterinarian, which means I spend most of my time studying from home and can give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I live with my mom, who works most of the day, so the home stays calm, quiet, and spacious - a great environment for animals to feel safe and comfortable. Our home is completely non-smoking and has a great, secure backyard with lots of space for playtime, fresh air, and bathroom breaks. Because I’m home so often, your pet would have plenty of company and wouldn’t be left alone for long periods. Lots of healthy treats! Great toys and nourishment:)
“My puppy loves his walks but he also loves playing with other dogs. Pedro took him to the dog park to give him a chance to really play and run off his energy. Pedro is so good about looking for ways to help dogs enjoy their outings. I highly recommend him.”
About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).
About: My ultimate goal and promise is to provide the safety and love for your pets as if you were still home. I know how worrisome it may be while you're at work or on vacation to wonder how your pet is doing and if they're receiving the care they deserve and i'm here to eliminate all worries. I have grown up and owned many animals ranging from dogs, cats, fish, turtles, and hamsters. I can confidently go on long walks or even be a cuddle buddy. Working part time on the weekends, I have almost my whole day during the week to take care of your fur babies. A bonus to the sad fact I don't currently have any pets of my own at the moment, my home and large backyard is free for your pet's comfortability. I grew up training my dog in 4-H and have raised puppies as well as kittens. I work part time on the weekends so I am free during the week to care for your pets if you are at work or on vacation. I have a fenced backyard and no other pets in my home. I will care for and clean up after your pet whether they are in your home or mine. I live walkable distance to parks and dog parks.

About: Since I was in elementary school, I have always had a family dog or cat. Animals are a man’s best friend and I see my animals as my babies. I treat all animals with love, and make sure give the best care possible. I am a recent St. Mary’s college graduate. During my search for full time work, I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! When you need me I’ll be there! I currently have an indoor cat who is dog friendly! She loves to play and snuggle and will help your pets feel right at home. I also have a loving partner who is more than happy to look after my baby while I take care of yours.
“Thank you so much for walking and playing with my Lil Buddy while I was gone. My roommate thanks you too. I am sure I'll be using your services again. I really loved the pictures you sent. Thanks again.”
About: With 15+ years working in animal welfare and shelter environments, I bring professional-level care to every pet I work with; from neonatal fosters to senior dogs managing complex medical needs. I'm trained in fear-free handling and modern animal behavior, and I hold a degree in Humane Leadership focused on animal welfare. I can administer both oral and injected medications, which makes me a trusted choice for pets with diabetes, allergies, epilepsy, or ongoing medical protocols. I've cared for animals of every age, size, breed, and temperament — including high-energy large breeds, anxious rescues, and special needs animals who need a calm, patient, experienced hand. I've owned a husky and a pit bull for over a decade, and I've fostered countless kittens and puppies. I know what it means to care for an animal through every stage of life and I take that responsibility seriously with yours. When it comes to walks, I ask every owner one question: does your dog like to mosey, brisk walk, or run? Because every dog is different ; and your dog's walk should match their energy, not a one-size schedule. I offer all three, including runs and bike rides for high-drive dogs who need real exercise. At my home: large fenced yard, non-smoking, children who are calm and experienced with dogs, and a routine-first approach. I follow your pet's existing schedule for feeding, walks, and rest to keep their stay as stress-free as possible. Your pet deserves more than a dog lover. They deserve someone who actually knows animals. I keep my availability intentional so every pet gets my full attention. My primary availability is Fridays for walks, drop-ins, run and bike rides, and boarding check-ins, with weekends open for boarding stays. My sweet spot is a Friday afternoon check-in with Sunday morning checkout — perfect for families heading out for the weekend. I’m not available for weekday walks or drop-ins Monday through Thursday, which means when I’m with your pet, I’m fully present; not squeezing visits between a packed schedule. I also welcome extended stays of one week or longer. For families with travel, deployments, or extended commitments, I provide consistent long-term care that keeps your pet in one stable, familiar home rather than rotating through different sitters. I’ve cared for dogs for multi-week stays and understand what it takes to maintain routine, behavior, and wellbeing over time. If you’re looking for a reliable Friday walker, a consistent weekend boarding home, or a trusted sitter for an extended stay in Elk Grove, let’s connect! My home has a large fully fenced yard, a non-smoking environment, and children aged 7-9 who are calm and experienced around animals. I apply the same fear-free handling principles I use professionally — no force, no flooding, no punishment. Pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I always follow your pet’s existing routine to minimize stress. For in-home care I treat your space with the same respect and attentiveness I bring to my own. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll follow their schedule for feeding, playtime, and walks to keep things familiar and stress-free for them. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

“I just got my fur babies back from Anais’s overnight stay. She was so kind and caring to them! They adjusted well, and I was really happy with how she took care of them and kept me in the loop. We’ll definitely recommend her as a sitter again and can confidently recommend her to other fur parents who need pet care.”
“I was out of town for about a month and Reginay was amazing taking care of my Aussie "Nac. She keeps me updated every day with photos and videos. Nac came home in great condition after more than 3 weeks of boarding. Highly recommended!”
“Kirsten was wonderful with my dog. She kept me posted, and was flexible with a later pick-up. Her kids were great with my dog, and kept her entertained, which I appreciated a lot. ☺️”
“I was really nervous about leaving Lewis behind because he's still recovering from surgery (the wound is healed, but he's still fragile), but Jennifer did a great job of keeping his activity restricted while still making sure both of my dogs got lots of love. She also provided regular (2x/day) updates and daily pictures, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I will absolutely be using her again when I need a sitter in this area.”
“Briana was great! She sent pics of my Chewy and Oliver while we were gone and was quick to reply to any messages I sent. They were super calm and happy when I picked them up. Would book again!”
“My dog was very comfortable with Rekha. My dog is usually very nervous and I could tell she enjoyed her stay. Rekha and her family are very nice people and I would recommend her dogsitting to anyone.”
“Catherine is an amazing sitter. Her home is clean and peaceful and my dog had a lovely time there. You can tell she loves dogs and my dog loves her and her husband, even when my husband came to pick him up he went to lie next to Ernie! We plan to use her regularly when we need her service should her schedule allow. Thanks for watching him on short notice!”
“Kenia was awesome with Brownie. She sent updates throughout the entire time and he seemed happy when picking him up although it was dark and he couldn't really see me. He was protective of Kenia which goes to show what kind of bond they developed in such a short time frame. I would recommend and use Kenia again.”
“Annie is always so great with our dog. She always sends us pictures and updates 3-4 times a day. She give us peace of mind we go on vacation that our dog is in a safe and loving home. We appreciate you Annie!!”

“My mother in-law passed away and we needed someone to take care of our fur babies on short notice while we were out of the country for the funeral and Davinderjit came to the rescue. We had a meet and greet before the day we have to leave and Baloo immediately felt at home. While we were gone, we were updated of how Baloo was doing and sent us photos of the silly baby. Being away from the country we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We have a planned trip in September and we have already considered Davinderjit to take care of Baloo while we are gone. We highly recommend Davinderjit for boarding services and we’ll definitely will use her again when the need arises.”
About: Animals have always been my people. 🐾 I've spent over 20 years as a devoted pet owner, including my two wonderful Australian Shepherds. I am so grateful to have had them in my life to love and spoil! Ella and Maddie were well traveled too, even visiting the Grand Canyon and Yosemite! All my friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets and homes while they are away and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Early in my career, I spent five years as a Pet Care Manager at PetSmart, caring daily for all the animals, keeping them healthy and happy until we helped pair them with their forever homes. I'm very experienced with all levels of pet care, including special needs that require medications, injections, complex dietary routines, and reinforcing training. I am ready to handle whatever your pet needs, especially extra play time and cuddles. I am equally obsessed with all dogs and cats, and care for all breeds, sizes, and ages, from puppies and kittens through their senior years.

“Ceudi and her wonderful family were great sitters for our senior Boxer (11yr). She was attentive to his medical needs (medicine and care) and stubborn habits. She sent daily updates and always responded quickly to our messages. She lives in a nice neighborhood with a large park nearby. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Wow! Kathleen and Bob and their family are such wonderful people and took AMAZING care of our Ella! Ella was spoiled with so much love and cuddles and kindness!!! We are so grateful to have found them! We loved seeing the photo updates throughout her stay, and appreciated how easy it was to stay in touch with them. We are so grateful Ella was so well taken care of!”
“This is Oreo’s second stay with Marilee, Joe and their dog Zuko. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I know Oreo is well cared for and enjoys his time there taking advantage of the comfy sofa & huge park like yard. We will be back for the next holiday!”
“Our fur baby Didi always loves her time with Emily and her doggies. This quick overnight stay was no exception. She played so well Didi was snoring peacefully on the whole ride home!”
“He seemed so happy there and he came back home to his usual routine with no issues (when we have boarded him with petsmart etc. there has always been an adjust period). Got some feedback on some things we can work on at home too. Thank you!”
