“Megan was great. She was very comfortable with doggy behaviors especially with my restless dogs getting there after a 500 mile drive. She didn’t hesitate to jump right in. They were happy and well cared for!”
“Olivia was super flexible and communicative. We needed to do a pretty early drop off and it was no issue. We got lots of great pictures throughout her stay. Our dog is coming home much happier than if she had stayed at a boarding place.”
“Lilly seemed to have a great stay with Samantha. Lilly had fun running around, chasing tennis balls and a frisbee and even decided to take a plunge in the kiddie pool. Samantha was great about sending us updates and pictures of Lilly’s stay. Thank you Samantha for everything!”
“My dog is 16 and has lost most of his vision. It was our honeymoon and we were worried about him. Daman was fabulous. She sent pictures and videos at the end of every day. He just looked relaxed and it made our honeymoon so much less stressful. When I picked him up he was just relaxed. I appreciate everything she did and my little guy was well taken care of. Having a senior dog I get very worried but she was amazing with him. 10/10”
“Cynthia took great care of my little girl! She’s very polite, professional and caring. I will trust her to care for my fur babies whenever needed in the future. She sent me updates and pictures every day.”
“Impressive. Is the words I need yo say. My dog appears exhausted and happy. He might be a little down after having a friend(dog) while out there. The folks are Lab people and they took took to him like he takes to people. Will use when needed. Thanks guys.”
“I was so nervous about leaving my dog with a “stanger” but he did great with Destiny. She sent us pictures every day and treated him like a member of her family. I will definitely use her again if we are in need of a pet sitter.”

“Tylyn was wonderful with our dogs! We really know when the boys have fun and feel comfortable. They are very picky! They really really loved her and her little girl. Snow normally doesn’t get along well with children but he just loved Naya. They played a lot, enjoyed a dog pool and went on walks with her. They were very tired on our way back home. Thank you, Tylyn, for taking such good care of them. See you next time.”

We will definitely use her services again if we ever have a need again for a sitter in that area of California!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to look after their pets, and I take that responsibility to heart. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including raising a German Shepherd who completed professional training, as well as helping with puppy training and basic obedience. At home, I have two cats, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand the different kinds of care and attention they need. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. For boarding, my husband and I create a warm, pet-loving home where animals are treated like family. We both have grown up around pets and genuinely enjoy their company. Your pet will be cared for with kindness, patience, and plenty of attention while they stay with us. When your pet stays with me, you can expect: 🐾 Reliable, attentive care 🐾 Regular photo and video updates 🐾 Plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection 🐾 Respect for your pet's routine and special needs 🐾 A safe, loving environment where they're treated like family Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship they need throughout the day. Since I already care for my own cats, I'm accustomed to maintaining feeding schedules, providing enrichment, monitoring behavior, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's walks, potty breaks, play sessions, cuddles, or simply keeping a pet company, I make time to give each animal personalized care based on their needs and routine. My husband and I work together to create a calm, loving environment for pets staying in our home, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and attention while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always strive to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication needs, exercise routines, and any special preferences to help pets feel at home. For pets staying with me, I make sure they have regular opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and lots of love. My husband and I are both animal lovers and work together to provide a welcoming environment where pets receive plenty of supervision and companionship. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. My goal is always to reduce stress, keep pets comfortable, and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving reliable, loving care.

About: We are a loving family with two young girls and a dog. We enjoy being outdoors and spend much of our time in the garden. Our property features a pond for dog-paddling, a lawn for ball throwing, and many trails for exploring. I am a stay at home mom so I’m able to give around the clock care. We usually go for a walk through the orchards after breakfast and spend most of our day outside, watering the gardens and doing work around the property. We also enjoy an evening stroll before bed. We live on 10 acres and have a perimeter fence as well as a fenced backyard for free play. We have a private, secure dog run if your pup is more comfortable in their own space as well. We are usually up between 6-7, we can feed breakfast then or after our morning walk around the property to feed the farm animals. We do a lot of outdoor play and work in the garden that our boarding dogs usually love. I am a stay at home mom and Michael works from home so your dog gets constant companionship. We have a fenced yard that attaches to our house and a doggie door so your dog can go in and out as it pleases. This area is the main place your dog will stay when we are not romping around the farm.
About: I have a home full of love to give along with a big back yard for play! Plenty of grass as well as dirt areas for those who like to dig. My senior dog, Charlie, a female terrier mix is friendly and inviting, just as we like to be! I am a stay at home mom so your fur babies will never be alone! Just like my own kids, I understand routine is very important and promise to care for your pets as you would in your own home. There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your fur baby feel safe and secure, as I would accept nothing but the same for my own! About this sitter: A caregiver by nature, I have always had a lot of love to give! Grew up on a farm and can honestly say I have no memories of life without some kind of fur baby in my life. Now that I am creating a home for my own children, I want them to grow in the same atmosphere. Our home will always be open to help and care for anyone and anything in need! I have a pet friendly home with a large backyard to play. My senior dog is friendly and welcoming along with 3 cats who love to do their own thing (all are fixed and well behaved). From snuggling on the couch to crate training, depending on your preference, my home has it all. Not to mention a family of animal lovers to make sure your fur baby gets all the love they could ever want!
About: While your pet is in my care we usually do one big walk or two small walks. We have a fully fenced back yard for dogs to play and use restrooms. Neighborhood is safe for walking pets and talking potty breaks. There is a park near by to enjoy with the dogs as well. Have experience administering oral medication if that is needed. I have experience working with dogs with disabilities. Please provide me with any information that will makes your pets stay comfortable with me. I am home full-time attending to my pets and ready to attend yours. My schedule is flexible which makes me available to help your furry family member. The community we live in is safe and clean. I have my backyard fully fenced off for a quick and easy potty break. The backyard is also a safe place for the pets to play safely. We have a large park that is close to our home to walk the pets and play with them. In my supervision while we are at the park dogs will be on long lead, not off leash. Let me know what makes you feel the most comfortable for you and your pet.
About: I grew up with dogs and have had dogs most of my life. I worked for several years with a boxer rescue group. Dogs truly are the best friend anyone can have. I enjoy all breeds and sizes. I started working with Rover many years ago. I ended up having the same clients that kept my schedule full and no longer was offering Rover Services. I recently retired and moved to Wheatland. I rescued a 21 pound mix last Jan (2025). I'm home most the time and I have a fenced backyard. I already care for Tux, my rescue dog. He would love to have a play mate! He's a little timid of big dogs but he can get familiar and comfortable around them. I love hanging out with animals, so your pet will be my best friend while I care for them. If they sleep on your bed, they are welcome to sleep on my bed. I feed and care for them on your scheduled times. They definitely will be loved and well cared for!

About: I am a loving pet mom for 15 yrs and before and during that time I have helped many others with their animals. I can sit, check in and play with, and take for walks. I love animals and giving them attention because I know it is so important. I work from home so I love reasons to get out of the house and pet friends to keep me company at night. I work and stay 100% near the outskirts of Yuba City. My pets and their friends safety in #1 in my house and yard.

I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat in the home, most of my pets throughout my life have been rescues. My german shepherd that was rescued 7 years ago really brought out my passion for working with animals. I have experience with a range of breeds, ages, sizes, personalities, high-maintenance care, medical care, you name it! I'm not just a dog or cat person, I'm an animal lover.

About: I've had the pleasure of loving and taking care of furbabies of all sizes for 20 years. I first started pet sitting for an acquaintance in 2005. Later, when I became established in the area as a trusted house cleaner, I started pet sitting for some of my clients and their friends. Sadly, I lost all my clients and contacts save one in the Camp Fire as my client base was in Paradise and Magalia. Since then, I have taken care of my own little furbabies and ever so often cared for the Chihuahua/Pug/Terrier mix of the one remaining client from Paradise. Within the years that I was actively pet sitting, I took care of dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Whippets. I am excited to once again assist you with your pet sitting needs and ensure the best attention is given to your dog’s health, happiness, and well-being! For my clients in Paradise and Magalia, I did both drop-ins and overnight stays. (My favorite memory was staying with two little lovely Dachsies for three weeks!) I made sure each pet I took care of was fed as per the instructions given to me and that they had access to fresh, clean water. Whether it’s maintaining a regular meal routine or making sure your pet stays hydrated throughout the day, I prioritize comfort and health for all furbabies in my care. I also have experience administering medications, whether oral or topical, and am dedicated to ensuring your pets specific medical needs are met with precision and care. I know personally the importance of a vet's instructions and the proper maintenance of a consistent medication routine. I also know the importance of exercise in keeping a pet happy and healthy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous activity, I am happy to ensure that your pet gets the exercise and playtime they need! Above all, each dog that I have taken care of I have treated as part of my family. I look forward to providing your furbaby with the same love, attention, and care that I have given to my past clients and to my own pets! My schedule has changed and is more open during the work week. I currently have a day job between the hours of 12:30PM and 2:30PM, Monday through Friday. My hours can be flexible with this day job. I am available early morning and some evenings during the work week. My schedule changes, on occasion, in the evenings Monday through Friday. My weekends are fully free and am available for pet sitting, dog walking and drop-ins all day on Saturday and Sunday. For any pet in my care, whether it has been a client's pet or my own, I have always ensured that they have gotten plenty of love and quality care. For past clients, I adhered to all instructions given pertaining to feeding time, exercise and medications if applicable. I made sure there were plenty of cuddles and that every pet in my care felt safe and secure.
“Lexington was amazing!! She was wonderful with my dog, who is on the more sensitive side. Despite my Mildred's initial anxieties, Lexington was able to win her over with her patience and kindness. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter, especially if your fur baby needs a little extra TLC 🩷”
About: Bare minimum care for animals is not accepted in my house. I only offer the absolute best I can give for every furry friend. I've owned and cared for almost every category of critter you can come up with (Birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, cats, dogs, etc.!) Almost all my passions revolve around animals and always have, I spend most of my time helping people with their own pets when I'm not caring for mine. I also am starting out in dog training and have two years experience with a few types of canine training. My own dog is an exceptionally trained GSD that's helped this journey. Along with that, I have been helping with rehabilitating and releasing wild animals in need for almost three years. I am very passionate about rescues and almost all my animals are rescued by either shelters, brought to me, or found by me. I hope to build a career in helping people and their animals in every way I possibly can ❤ I'm currently gaining experience for dog training and I help with wild animal rehabilitation along with shelter work. I'm free most days of the week since I'm able to choose my working hours. For drop in visits I follow pet owner instructions exactly to ensure every pet has their needs met. I offer the most exceptional care that I possibly can for each animal and am capable of caring for just about any pet. Senior, challenged, puppy, untrained, none are challenging for me. 💕

About: I've always loved animals, even though I didn't grow up with pets or own any myself. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience by dog sitting for friends, including caring for their dogs during multiple overnight stays, and by helping care for my fiancé's family pets. From feeding and walks to playtime, companionship, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away, I've learned how important patience, consistency, and attention are. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with the same care, affection, and respect I would want for my own. I currently work as a special education paraeducator for my local school district. Since I'm off for the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. This flexibility means I can give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I always strive to keep pets happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. For dog walks, I make sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog's energy level and needs, whether they prefer a stroll or a more active outing. I pay close attention to their behavior, provide plenty of water when needed, and make sure they return home happy and relaxed. For dog sitting, I follow your pet's usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and preferences to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I'll also keep your home clean and treat it with the same respect and care I would my own, while providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind.
About: I’ve taken care of mostly cattle dogs since I was 10. My neighbors, family friends, family, and coworkers always ask me to pet sit for them. I am so excited to have the time to care for and love your furry friends! I work from Tuesday-Friday and I will be available after 7pm Friday. Saturday-Monday I am available at all times. I am not able to keep your furry friend in my current living space, but always am more than happy to take care of them in their home environment.
About: "Hi! I’m Alexis, a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years. I’ve looked after everything from playful puppies to senior sweethearts, and I’m comfortable with pets who need special care or medications. I’m active and love long walks, but I’m just as happy spending time giving belly rubs and cuddles. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll send you regular updates and cute photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing — because I treat every animal like my own "I’m a student with a full-time job, but I always make sure pet care is a top priority — whether that’s early morning walks, lunchtime check-ins, or evening snuggle I’m a student with a full-time job, but I always make sure pet care is a top priority — whether that’s early morning walks, lunchtime check-ins, or evening snuggle Your pet’s safety is my top priority.

About: I have had a variety of animals always in my life. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish and rodents. (All of which I've had at some point) I have also worked for a rescue charity for 7+ years which resulted in having learned basic and emergency care, as well as administration of medication. I am retired and looking to fill my time with love and cuddles. I have always enjoyed caring for the variety of animals I have and have had. I love learning all the cute special quirks and loves of every animal I interact with. I am very respectful of other people's space and items - my focus is on the animals in my charge. I can feed, walk, play and generally be a companion to any animal. I also respect the home and treat it even better than my own, ensuring that I leave the home as I found it.
About: I have an understanding of dog psychology and act calm under pressure. Previously, I was the dog trainer at Petsmart for a year and a half. I love dogs very much and care for their success! My main concern is the dog's health, which is why walking them is extremely important. Giving dog's additional exercise other than playing in the back yard is key to releasing their excess energy. Walks also provide new areas to explore which will give them an opportunity to use their smellers and analyze the world. You will be surprised at how tuckered out they become! If you wanted to have your dog work on socialization and make new dog friends, I am more than willing to help your fur baby improve in this area. I am available Tuesday through Saturday mornings for a walk. There is a possibility of opening a window of availability in the afternoons. Let’s talk! I would be most comfortable caring for your dogs in your home. Their environment is key to easing the stress of your absence in their daily routine.
About: I grew up here in Northern California with many different loyal pet dogs. After high school I joined the Army and got out of active duty in 2017. Long story short I moved to Alaska with my pet dog from Yuba City where I learned to be a dog musher and she learned to be sled dog. I’ve worked for various different high level sled dog kennels, thousands of different dogs, thousands of hours with dogs, thousands of miles with dogs, and even spent a year working at an Athletic & Longevity Canine Research Facility under the mentorship of some of best veterinarians and scientists. My knowledge and experience in general canine medical care, psychology, and training is advanced. I currently work from home & have a flexible schedule. I open to the special needs & care of your beloved pet from all ages. Each pet is individually unique when it comes to specific pet care, so I will work diligently with owners to best understand their pet. I have 1 spayed female 8 y/o Shepherd/Husky mix who is well tempered, a lead sled dog, well socialized to keep your pet company(friendly with both dogs & cats). I have a dog door that leads to a fenced in backyard. Regularly scheduled feeding, walks, & bathroom breaks.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to look after their pets, and I take that responsibility to heart. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including raising a German Shepherd who completed professional training, as well as helping with puppy training and basic obedience. At home, I have two cats, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand the different kinds of care and attention they need. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. For boarding, my husband and I create a warm, pet-loving home where animals are treated like family. We both have grown up around pets and genuinely enjoy their company. Your pet will be cared for with kindness, patience, and plenty of attention while they stay with us.

“I rescued a pitbull puppy a few months ago and he is my first dog, he had a few behavior problems (sharing with other dogs, eating with other dogs, running back and forth for no reason) and I was worried about leaving him with a sitter when I went to new york for a week. After getting him back from Wes he is so much better behaved, he sits when I tell him to, a lot of things Wes is a dog person through and through, he kept me updated every day and showed me how much fun Polo was having. Will definitely be contacting Wes next time I need a sitter”
