“My dog stayed with Shannon for a week, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Shannon was friendly, responsive, and provided daily photo and video updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Shannon was also very accommodating with the pick-up time which I really appreciated. I think my dog enjoyed his little own "vacation" too!”
“Amy & Justin gave our German Shepard an incredible experience. He was well taken care of, loved, and enjoyed his time with them and their dog River. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Alexa is an angel! We have two dogs whom are used to being with my husband and I 24/7 because we both work remotely. We are very selective in who we have watch our boys while we are gone (typically family or friends would come to our home and stay with them)… but we moved from Southern to Northern California so need to figure out an alternative. After searching Rover I came across Alexa’s profile and read each review and she stood out as someone that could be a good fit for my boys. I reached out and was immediately impressed with Alexa’s responsiveness, and decided to proceed with an introduction. It couldn’t have gone better. Alexa had clearly studied my dogs profiles to get familiar with the basic needs of each and I appreciated the questions she asked to understand their normal routine. Within just a short time of drop off, Alexa sent an update with pictures which allowed us to see that they were making themselves right at home and enjoying play time and snuggles. My Boys looked relaxed, content, and exercised. I’ll definitely book with Alexa again!”
“Ruchi and Nitin are absolutely amazing! They took care of our two boys for an entire week, and I couldn’t have asked for better sitters. Every single day, I received photos and videos without even having to ask. You can truly feel their love for animals in everything they do. Ruchi even went the extra mile and cooked rice for our picky eater, Hulu, which got him to finally finish his kibble. It honestly felt like a vacation for our dogs. They got along wonderfully with Ruchi and Nitin’s pups, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in caring hands. We even got a fun ChatGPT cartoon of one of our dogs during the stay. Their rates are also reasonable. Highly recommend this kind, thoughtful couple to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitters.”
About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home
“This was our first time boarding our puppy with Patti. I can’t say enough great things about her! She’s truly cares about your dog and keeps you updated with pictures. We can’t wait to use her again! Highly recommend!”
“I was pretty nervous leaving our boys with anyone as they can be overwhelming to some. Jena and her whole family were wonderful and I could not be happier with how everything went. The boys were relaxed and happy at pick up and when they got home. Will definitely use Jena again!”
“Amber accepted our request on late notice. She had a nice yard for our dog to explore and took her on a long walk! Amber sent me photos multiple times to keep me updated on how my dog was doing. I definitely recommend her services!”
“Irina did a great job of caring for my little dog Fred. Fred is a rescue and tends to be anxious in new situations. Irina and her environment are very welcoming and this was not wasted on Fred. He stayed close to Irina during his visit, following her everywhere. When she sat on the couch, she picked him up to be next to her. She had more than 1 dog boarding and I think this was also beneficial for Fred. I would gladly choose Irina again.”
“Barbara and family was very kind and welcoming to my dog. She asked all the questions that made me feel like my girl was going to be well taken care of even to the extent of switching her sleeping habits to my dog’s. I highly recommend! Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”
“Elaine is an amazing, experienced sitter and knew just how to help Floyd feel comfortable and settle in for a short stay. I appreciate the great communication and frequent updates. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, caring environment for their animals.”
“Kimberlee is fantastic! Very patient with adolescent male dogs and welcoming of us into her home. She sent a few adorable photos of our pups cuddled up with her sweet dog Tank (who is also very patient with adolescent male dogs!). Highly recommend Kimberlee.”
“I'm glad I found Michael and Patricia. Josie felt at ease with them right away so it made me feel good about leaving her with them. They are a wonderful couple who really care about dogs. I rarely go out of town, but if I ever need a sitter for Josie in the future, they'd be the ones I'd book a stay with.”
“We love Siyao! She is so great with dogs and sends us updates and photos/videos throughout the stay. Nacho always looks so happy while he is staying there. Thank you so much! We always feel at ease while traveling knowing that he is in good hands with Siyao.”
“Debbie is the best!! We recently lost our long time dog sitter and were anxious about leaving our senior dog with GI issues and anxiety with someone new while we left town for a few days with limited cell service. Lila didn’t even want to come home when we picked her up!! She was very comfortable with Lila’s needs, sent us updates and was flexible on pickup time. I’ve used a lot of dog sitters in my time and she is one of the best!! So competent, communicative and a true animal lover. Thank you Debbie!!”

“Natalie is such a great drop-in sitter. She is super trustworthy and responsible. She is great with our cat and bearded dragon and a wonderful communicator! Highly recommend her!”
About: I’m a veterinary technician with experience working in an animal hospital, and I grew up surrounded by cats , so they’ve always had a special place in my heart. I understand feline behavior and how to approach cats with the calm, quiet energy they need to feel safe and respected. Whether it’s caring for a senior cat, giving daily medications, or simply respecting a shy cat’s boundaries, I provide gentle, reliable care that’s tailored to each cat’s personality. I’m comfortable with special needs, health monitoring, and administering treatments when needed but I also know that sometimes, a warm lap and quiet companionship are just as important. I have a flexible schedule most of the week and always take the time to listen to each client’s expectations and concerns. My goal is to make sure your cat stays happy, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away because I know how sensitive and intuitive cats can be. Off the record? I’m a total cat person😹
About: I really see it as helping people out rather than running an expensive service. I’m not looking to charge a fortune just to walk a dog or feed pets — I just enjoy being someone reliable that neighbors can count on when they need an extra hand
About: I have always had two cats in the house. In fact, I grew up with a blind kitty, which taught me to be gentle. Currently, I have a tabby and an energetic tuxedo cat, along with a Golden Doodle. I love dogs, but am at heart a cat person. At home I am responsible for feeding, cleaning, and emptying the litter box. If your cats need caring or a cuddle please reach out!
“Amy has watched my two cats several times now, and she always does a great job. She was flexible with scheduling when I needed to extend a trip, and she even got my picky, shy cat to play with her!”
“Deborah did an amazing job watching our kitties during our wedding trip. She sent lots of pictures and updates which we love. Very communicative and responsive. Will absolutely book again! 💕”
“My wife and I are grateful to Barbara for dropping in on our cats on short notice. In addition to being accommodating, her pictures made it clear that she was very attentive to our cats during her visits.”
“Candace was an awesome petsitter for our two kitties, Evie & Jaffy! She was very attentive to all the details of their care that I had requested. Her love of animals was readily apparent when she meet our kitties for the first time. Daily updates and photos were appreciated while we were on vacation, and gave us peace of mind. Candace also watched over our home, watering house plants and monitoring a few items with the pool. We were very pleased with all the care Candace provided and we would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have a little experience with sitting cats on Wag where I went to feed, play, and replace the kitty litter for a week. I babysat two cats for a week straight and then did a check in with another cat! Also I take care of cats of my own and I love them so much!
“Justin is easy to work with and a great communicator. We appreciated that he got back to us right away to confirm his availability and provided twice daily updates on our dogs. We won’t hesitate to recommend him to our friends and neighbors. Thanks Justin!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life—dogs, cats, even a few rescued bunnies from my childhood in rural Canada. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at more than five shelters across the country and even served as their photographer, helping showcase adoptable pets so they could find forever homes. We adopted a cat in June 2025. Her name is Astra and she is a talker!! She loves to cuddle on your lap when you are watching TV too! March 28, 2026 We are currently fostering 5 year old Parker from the El Dorado County shelter hoping to become his forever home. He is a super sweet and smart dogs. He just needs some manners. My heart has always had a soft spot for older dogs; my last two rescues, Barney (a Swiss Mountain Dog) and Lucky (a German Shepherd/Collie mix), were both adopted as adults from the Camarillo Shelter. I’m comfortable with big breeds, senior pups, and rescues who need a little extra understanding. Whether it’s walks, meds, playtime, or just quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m a photographer, which means my busiest time is usually golden hour — that sweet spot right before sunset. The rest of the day? Totally flexible. I make my own schedule and mostly shoot local sessions, so I’m never far from home (or from your pup!). I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, and all the belly rubs in between. I treat every pet like they’re my own—snuggles, walks, belly rubs, and yes, a lot of photos. (Perks of hiring a photographer as your sitter!) Whether I’m in your home or mine, I keep their routine consistent and their tail wagging. I’ll send you photo updates so you can see their happy face while you’re away. I’m especially great with big dogs, seniors, and rescues who just need a little extra love and patience.

“Shannon and her husband were amazing! They're very caring people. They also have a French bulldog which was a plus for our frenchie. When it came time to pick up our pup, she didn't want to leave. That's the best sign of a successful playdate. Anyway, we highly recommend Shannon and we will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Shannon!! :)”
About: I grew up with Afghan hounds, so dogs have been a part of my life forever. We adopted our first rescue, Jazzy, in 2015. We have adopted adult cats and kittens. I usually remember pet names before I remember human names when I meet somebody new. I can do in-home boarding for a cat or small dog/puppy if they can get along with our kitten. Otherwise I can come to your home and tuck your fur babies in and greet them early in the morning. Please reach out to discuss. During the day, I am available to walk your dog, feed and play with your pets, and provide all kinds of TLC. Call me! I'm currently building a business as a realtor. I grew up in Southern California, and lived in Alabama for 21 years, where I was a French professor. I moved to El Dorado Hills in 2023 to be near family. Four generations of my family, from my mom down to my four-year-old grandson, live in the Sacramento area. I love pets, and I'd love to help you with yours when you're on the road. I work with clients to provide the kind of customized care that their pet needs. I know pets have all personality types. Some like cuddles, some do not. We are there for your pets needs, whatever they may be.
“Highly recommend. Nanci IS the 'dog whisperer'. She was able to sense all of my dog's needs (good and bad), and made her stay comfortable, enjoyable and safe. My dog suffers from separation anxiety, and Nancy took extra care to give her plenty of lap time. I received lots of great updates, photos and videos. Can't get enough of those, and Nanci has a wonderful photographer's eye. Can you really tell that Nanci has years and years of experience, which helped this anxious mom to feel confident. And the icing? Nanci (and her whole human and furry pack) are super friendly and nice to be around.”
“Candace is an expert as a dog sitter. It is the first time for Haru to be with daycare. Haru does enjoy his stay, had lots of fun with candance’s two dogs. Also enjoy reading. Haru is very happy at the end,he does not even want to leave when I picked up him. Candace did a good job :)”
“Highly recommend. I have a small dog that suffers from separation anxiety. Rachel made sure that our dog felt safe and provided her plenty of company. Rachel was very responsive, professional and friendly. She has a beautiful home and a safe back yard, and lives in a great neighborhood with good places for dog walks. We look forward to more stays with Rachel in the future.”
“Sharon and Henry are great dog sitters! I really felt my dog was cared for and they sent frequent updates. Their dog is a sweetie that behaves well around other dogs. My dog came home both days exhausted from playing all day. I would absolutely recommend them and will reach out to them again in the future!”
“Sugar had a blast with Jenny and Sadie - so much fun Sugar parkour out the car window lol. Jenny is great! She provided updates throughout the day and is very responsive. After picking up Sugar, she just stares out the car window hoping we go back.”
“Megan was an excellent sitter for my pup Harley! Great communication throughout the day and I felt 100% comfortable knowing she was taking good care of my baby! 10/10 would recommend :)”
“Erika was great about allowing me a last minute booking. If you like a family of kids and a sweet german shepard to keep your fur friend company this is the place. They were able to accommodate my dog getting used to new sites and sounds and a little anxiety. Would recommend them!”
“Marisa was the best sitter for our pup Harley! Excellent communication throughout the day, and made me feel 100% comfortable knowing Harley was getting all the love! Would definitely recommend Marisa to anyone and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Elaine, treated Cruz like one of her own. She gave her lots of love and attention. Cruz had such a great time with her and her pups that she didn’t want to leave each day, and was ecstatic going back each morning. Elaine provided us with great pics and detailed updates. So thankful to know that Cruz had a wonderful week of daycare with her!!”
About: As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. My household includes two small dogs and a friendly cat, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of personalities, routines, and care needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following special feeding instructions, supporting pets with sensitive diets, and reinforcing established routines. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply companionship, my goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking services for both dogs and cats. For boarding, I welcome small and medium-sized dogs to ensure a comfortable and safe environment for all pets in my home. Because I work from home, boarding pets receive frequent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. We also live near a park, providing a great setting for walks, exercise, and outdoor enrichment. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My cat is exceptionally friendly and social, and my two dogs are accustomed to living peacefully with cats and respecting their space. I carefully supervise introductions and always prioritize the comfort and safety of every pet in my care. To provide the highest level of personalized attention, I accept only one client household at a time across all services. Whether your pet is staying in my home or receiving visits in yours, they will receive individualized care, close supervision, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am available for up to two drop-in visits per day, and pet parents can expect regular updates and photos for added peace of mind. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. Every pet is treated like family, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home full time, caring for pets naturally fits into my day and is something I genuinely look forward to. I love starting the morning with a walk, taking midday breaks to check in and play, and ending the evening with a visit or stroll. Having this flexibility means I can give pets the attention and consistency they deserve while making sure they feel happy and loved throughout the day. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home by following their normal routines and keeping their environment clean and secure. I always check that doors and gates are locked, refresh food and water, scoop litter or let pups out as needed, and spend quality time giving attention, play, or cuddles based on what each pet enjoys most. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for while they’re away.
About: I have loved animals and taken care of them since I was very young. I take care of my Neighbor's, friends and family's animals whenever they need a sitter, I have a great rapport with all of them and they trust me with their animals as well as house sitting. I believe in playing, feeding and walking the dogs so they are not bored and they stay active and healthy. I like to follow the direction of the owner as not to change the habits for the animal and keep the routine. I am currently not working and have all my time dedicated to animal sitting. I have plenty of time to care for your little furry family members and give them the time and attention they need. I am available anytime. I have a big fenced yard and two furry friends of my own to keep your dogs company, they are very friendly and love other dogs and cats. I can also crate your dog if preferred.

My schedule is very flexible, I can accommodate any time or request. I'm free everyday day from 7am-10pm for walks and check-ins. I'm willing to work earlier or later upon request! I walk my own dog at least once a day for about an hour or so. I clean the litter box with diligence and love to give animals baths when they get dirty (bathing is needed most of the time after a trip to the dog park). At night I love to cuddle with my kitties and watch a movie.
About: I owned a dog camp for 10 years in the mountains outside of Boulder, CO. My daughter and I want to share our love and knowledge of animals with others.

About: I have always been lucky enough to have a dog growing up. I have looked after my neighbors pets multiple times as well. I am very comfortable around all types. As for cats I have never personally taken care of any but I do volunteer at the shelter that has both cats and dogs.

He is a Lagotto Romagnolo and he truly is my bestfriend. I am interning at an accounting firm and I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 to 5 pm. I am free to pet sit these days too after 5. Since I sit at a desk all day, I have a lot of energy leftover and love going on walks and playing with my dog in the evening. Hopefully in the future yours too!! I currently have a dog and he is a big part of my life. I love exercising and everyone I do cardio he joins me for my walks. He loves playing fetch so I am used to that. I also just love a pets affection and love. I constantly walk my dog, take him to the dog park (even though all he does is sit in the shade), I feed him every night and give him infinite kisses!
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, big or small consistently for the past couple years. I love to be active with dogs and would have no problem walking them and taking them out for long periods of time, as well as a calm day in. I’m currently just a part time student and aside from other small hobbies I am always available for any work needed! I am also always available for overnight stays too. Back at home I was always surrounded by dogs and I am used to all different types. With your dog I’ll always take them out for a walk, constantly doing different activities and that’ll come with plenty of photo updates aswell!

About: As a dog lover at heart, I’m always on the lookout for new furry friends. When I’m not providing exceptional pet care, you can find me at the local adoption center spending my free time playing with the dogs and giving them the love and attention they deserve.

I am currently seeking part-time work, which gives me plenty of time to devote to your pets. I’m available on all weekdays and most weekends, ready to provide the love and attention your furry friends deserve. Feel free to send me a message-I’d love to arrange a time to meet and discuss how I can help care for your pets. I maintain a safe and clean environment for my pets and promise to do the same for yours. While you are away, I will ensure your animals are well cared for and loved, taking care to clean up any messes. Your pets’ well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities.

About: I have grown up with all kinds of pets— dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, fish, etc! I have always been trusted with family, friends, and neighbors pets when they are out of town!

I am very easy going and have no problem following whatever instructions are given to me, I love to give attention to animals however understand when animals are more timid and am good at offering space.
“Chris was great! Showed up on time every time and was always super friendly. He helped us walk our larger dog as I’m injured and can’t handle her strength when she pulls the leash. Super helpful! Thanks again for all of your help!”
About: I have always loved animals since I was little and have had various furry friends throughout my life. I have cared for dogs from miniature Poodles to German Shepherds; each animal has their own unique personality and I look forward to meeting them all. I have embraced retirement, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry family. From walking your neighborhood, exploring various trails, or just play time at the park or home, I will give your pet the love and attention I would my own pets. I currently have two cats, who are indoor only. They are played with daily, although half the time they just sleep in the sun. My current home project is to build them a catio so they can sleep there too.
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been surrounded by animals!

I’m used to taking big and small dogs on walks, and am more than willing to take your pet on a playdate with mine! I can crate your animal, prepare special meals, and clean up after them if they’re used to going potty in your backyard! Same thing applies to cats and their litter-boxes! I will always be sure to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away.
“Lisa was great! I really appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet a few days prior to our first walk so that she could determine if we would be a good fit!”
About: Hi, I’m Ly! I’m a pet lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, and I know how much they mean to their families. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, giving meds, and keeping up with both high-energy pups and older dogs who just want to relax. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away, so I always make sure pets get plenty of love, attention, and care I currently work from home part time so I have a lot of time on my hands to play and care for your lovely dogs I take time to learn their individual personalities—some pets need extra play and attention, while others just want calm companionship. I always keep their space clean, monitor for any changes in behavior or appetite, and send regular photo updates to their owners so they feel reassured.

“Amy & Justin gave our German Shepard an incredible experience. He was well taken care of, loved, and enjoyed his time with them and their dog River. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Alexa is an angel! We have two dogs whom are used to being with my husband and I 24/7 because we both work remotely. We are very selective in who we have watch our boys while we are gone (typically family or friends would come to our home and stay with them)… but we moved from Southern to Northern California so need to figure out an alternative. After searching Rover I came across Alexa’s profile and read each review and she stood out as someone that could be a good fit for my boys. I reached out and was immediately impressed with Alexa’s responsiveness, and decided to proceed with an introduction. It couldn’t have gone better. Alexa had clearly studied my dogs profiles to get familiar with the basic needs of each and I appreciated the questions she asked to understand their normal routine. Within just a short time of drop off, Alexa sent an update with pictures which allowed us to see that they were making themselves right at home and enjoying play time and snuggles. My Boys looked relaxed, content, and exercised. I’ll definitely book with Alexa again!”
About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home
“I was pretty nervous leaving our boys with anyone as they can be overwhelming to some. Jena and her whole family were wonderful and I could not be happier with how everything went. The boys were relaxed and happy at pick up and when they got home. Will definitely use Jena again!”
“Amber accepted our request on late notice. She had a nice yard for our dog to explore and took her on a long walk! Amber sent me photos multiple times to keep me updated on how my dog was doing. I definitely recommend her services!”
“Irina did a great job of caring for my little dog Fred. Fred is a rescue and tends to be anxious in new situations. Irina and her environment are very welcoming and this was not wasted on Fred. He stayed close to Irina during his visit, following her everywhere. When she sat on the couch, she picked him up to be next to her. She had more than 1 dog boarding and I think this was also beneficial for Fred. I would gladly choose Irina again.”
“Elaine is an amazing, experienced sitter and knew just how to help Floyd feel comfortable and settle in for a short stay. I appreciate the great communication and frequent updates. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, caring environment for their animals.”
“Kimberlee is fantastic! Very patient with adolescent male dogs and welcoming of us into her home. She sent a few adorable photos of our pups cuddled up with her sweet dog Tank (who is also very patient with adolescent male dogs!). Highly recommend Kimberlee.”
“We love Siyao! She is so great with dogs and sends us updates and photos/videos throughout the stay. Nacho always looks so happy while he is staying there. Thank you so much! We always feel at ease while traveling knowing that he is in good hands with Siyao.”
“Debbie is the best!! We recently lost our long time dog sitter and were anxious about leaving our senior dog with GI issues and anxiety with someone new while we left town for a few days with limited cell service. Lila didn’t even want to come home when we picked her up!! She was very comfortable with Lila’s needs, sent us updates and was flexible on pickup time. I’ve used a lot of dog sitters in my time and she is one of the best!! So competent, communicative and a true animal lover. Thank you Debbie!!”
“Left my 2 year old German Shepard puppy with this family for about a week while we went on a cruise. I am incredibly grateful to of found such a fun household to look after her. They sent us photos of her cuddling and taking walks, the updates were lovely. And when we picked her up she was exhausted, which was great for us. We can tell she had a lot of fun while we were on our trip and will definitely book them in the future!”

“Melissa was the perfect person to take care of our Sara. She had a great time with Melissa’s pups and family. She kept us informed on how Sara was doing each day. This was great for us as it was Sara’s first boarding experience. We know Sara had a blast!! Melissa thank you for welcoming Sara, Rich and I. We enjoyed you and meeting your family!! Hugs 🤗. Thank you.”
“Lisa was great! Heidi was exhausted after a weekend with her and Willow. She sent me photo and video updates of her which made me feel more comfortable knowing that Heidi was enjoying her stay. You can really tell how devoted Lisa is to taking care of pets. Also, Willow is the sweetest and Heidi loved running around with her. I would definitely recommend Lisa to watch any of your family members while you’re away 😊”
About: I grew up with Afghan hounds, so dogs have been a part of my life forever. We adopted our first rescue, Jazzy, in 2015. We have adopted adult cats and kittens. I usually remember pet names before I remember human names when I meet somebody new. I can do in-home boarding for a cat or small dog/puppy if they can get along with our kitten. Otherwise I can come to your home and tuck your fur babies in and greet them early in the morning. Please reach out to discuss. During the day, I am available to walk your dog, feed and play with your pets, and provide all kinds of TLC. Call me! I'm currently building a business as a realtor. I grew up in Southern California, and lived in Alabama for 21 years, where I was a French professor. I moved to El Dorado Hills in 2023 to be near family. Four generations of my family, from my mom down to my four-year-old grandson, live in the Sacramento area. I love pets, and I'd love to help you with yours when you're on the road. I work with clients to provide the kind of customized care that their pet needs. I know pets have all personality types. Some like cuddles, some do not. We are there for your pets needs, whatever they may be.
“Diana and her family were wonderful and spoiled my dog every day! Diana provided enough pictures and videos with little updates on how my dog was doing each day. Definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter because she takes care of dogs with so much love and care.”
“Charm spent 6 nights and 7 fun filled days with Gautam and his family. Gautam and his family are genuine dog lovers. They treated Charm as their own. Charm got treated with his routine walks, schedules for treats and food, swim in pools whenever he wanted to and lots of wrestle, love and pamper while he was there. Gautam sent lots of pictures and videos of Charm and it felt like he was home when we watched those videos. Thank you Gautam and Family for taking such good care of our pup. Will definitely recommend Gautam.”
