“Derek and Leslie were awesome with my Lucy! They sent daily updates and pictures and made sure that she was comfortable with the family. They only had their own dog, which was nice that it wasn't a "dog hotel". I will be contacting them again in the near future.”
“My little dachshund had been with the same dog sitter for 11 years. Adrienne was great with her. She was patient giving Bailee time to settle in. She provided pics to share with us. Thank you”

“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“Highly recommend Kendra! She took care of our little pug like she was her own. Kendra made sure our playful pug got her dose of activities with a walk and backyard fun, along with relaxation time.”

“Nancy took amazing care of my senior dog Abbey for a week while we were out of town. She took her on frequent walks, and gave her lots of attention. We got photo and video updates of how Abbey was doing. We felt like Abbey was in great hands while we were gone. Would definitely have Nancy take care of our dog again.”
“Erin was the best! She took great care of our dog. She was always super responsive and gave daily updates with pictures. Would for sure let her watch our dog again!”

“Gustav had such a great time with Greg. So much so that he climbed back into his truck and didn’t want to leave! 😅. Greg sent a lot of photos and updates through the day. He’s got a nice backyard for the pups to hang out in and takes them for long walks. Will definitely be bringing Gus back for another stay.”
“Nadezhda (Nadia) and Alex are an awesome couple who welcomed Kenta as the newest member of their family. Kenta was loved, cared for, and pampered by the entire family. Alex and Nadia shared great pics and videos daily letting us see how content our big boy was with them. I recommend them highly.”
“Ann B was amazing with my dog and was able to get him to do things that I haven't been able to do. He is usually a very anxious dog but she was able to provide a calm and reassuring environment for him that made him feel right at home.”

“Alexandrea dropped in on our 2 big black labs for 3 days while we were traveling. She was always on time and very responsive. I had to add another drop in at the last minute and she was able to help us! I'm very grateful for her hard work and would be happy to use her again.”
“Malarie was awesome. She came out of her shell at to get the details about my pets care. I was worried about finding a babysitter for my iguana and how he was going to get his fresh veggies and Malarie save the day! She took great care of my senior cat and my iguana while I was away. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Without much notice, Brooklyn was able to drop in and tend to my two cats over the Memorial Day weekend. She is flexible, communicates well, follows instructions, and provided lots of pics during her visit. I’d have no problem using her services the next time I need pet care services.”
“Barbara was great! She came over on time and followed all of my care directions. She sent pictures and I felt like m baby was in good hands. Luna who doesn’t like strangers, came out and let Barbara pet her on the second visit!”
About: I’ve grown up around cats and have always loved their unique personalities and playful nature. I have experience caring for cats both in my own home and while pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, fresh water, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and giving cats plenty of love and attention. I understand that every cat is different, and I’m happy to respect their individual routines and comfort levels. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away!
“Danika was excellent! Very communicative. We thought one of our cats slipped out during her time with us (our fault, not hers) and she was extremely helpful in ensuring she was home and safe. Would hire again.”
“Our Tessa is a shy girl still, and she stayed hidden pretty much the entire time we were gone, but that wasn’t Jess’s fault! She was clearly eating and alive :). Jess was very communicative which was GREATLY appreciated. Definitely will book Jess again!”
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!
About: Having been through some pretty big life changes recently, I’m reminded to slow down and focus on things that make me happy. One thing that makes me happy is dogs. I’ve also wanted to get out and take more walks, so what better way to enjoy both than dog walking. I’ve had pets of all types all my life, but dogs are hands down my favorite. I currently have two of my own and occasionally watch my friends’ dogs. A friend of mine uses Rover, and I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a teen, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have taken a few training classes when my dog was a puppy and I have some experience with special needs (seniors, blindness, low mobility, and seizures). I work full time, but telework three days a week. For midday visits and dog walks, someone close to home would be best to ensure availability. We can always discuss evening visits or walks as well. For boarding, unless discussed and scheduled prior, weekends would best to ensure I can be home with your fur babe. I treat visiting pups like my own. They’re allowed on my furniture and in my bed. I have multiple crates of various sizes if a crate is needed. My yard is fenced, but dogs aren’t typically left unattended in the yard. I have seven free range chickens in my yard, so their safety is also a concern for me. I’m also open to discussion if your dogs’ needs don’t align with my typical routine; I don’t mind changing things up if it’s something I can accommodate.
About: I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for family + friends for 7+ years. I have also taken care of my family dog for all my teen years. I have extensive experience taking care of puppies, large energetic dogs, as well my brother’s reactive rescue dog. I genuinely love all pets! I also helped my roommate to raise her kitten, whom i now consider like my own. It would be a pleasure to watch your pet :) I am currently working M-Thurs from 8 AM-3pm, and Fridays 7-12:30 pm. Please reach out and I should be available to work around schedules. I can always make time for a pet in need! :) I am sadly not able to watch pet’s in my own home due to pet policy. But, I can assure you I will be very vigilant while watching your pet! I will make sure they are watched at all times and not in danger.
About: I grew up with only cats my whole life and have been a reliable cat sitting for most of my neighbors and connections I’ve made through them for about 15 years. I helped foster kittens which typically involved bathing, training, and occasionally medicinal or bottle feeding care.
“Donna had been wonderful caring for our senior cat and is very knowledgeable about felines. She has a great rapport with our Lily and I have every confidence entrusting her with Lily's care. Thank you Donna!”
“Jenelle was so wonderful taking care of our dog while we were away. She is incredibly kind and very responsible. I had great piece of mind knowing she was their for our dog!”
“Bryana did a great job with our two cats. They were just like when we left lazy and wondering why we were here :) She did a great job updating us on the cats. If we ever go on vacation again we will definitely schedule her again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gold River
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Alexis and her family were amazing! Came in nervous to drop off our new puppy but they seem like genuine kind people who made us feel at ease. Our puppy seemed like she had lots of love and fun around her.”
“Derek and Leslie clearly love dogs and were patient with Ruby, who was a bit overwhelmed and grouchy when the other dogs approached her. Derek stayed in the backyard with Ruby and played on the pool with her, which is her favorite. Would definitely recommend for your more social dogs.”
“I booked Alora (Stacy) for doggy day care for my two dogs while I was out of town. Our meet and greet prior to booking went very well! I could easily tell how much Alora cared about taking care of animals. My dogs liked her and her dogs as well. Alora was accommodating, communicative and so kind! Due to the departure and return flight times for my trip, I needed a very early morning drop off and late night pick up. Alora was fine with this and even let me drop off a little early so I had time to get to the airport without being in a rush. Despite the length of my dogs' stay, she kept her rates as they were shown prior to my booking. She also sent multiple text updates as well as videos of my dogs. I felt confident that my dogs were in good hands while I was away! When I picked up my dogs, I could tell they had a great day and were both asleep shortly after I got them home. I would definitely recommend and book with Alora again!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was an early adult, and caring and connecting with them comes naturally. As a wellness coach, husband and father of two, I’m big on structure, patience, and creating a calm, safe inviting environment for every dog I work with. I’m active outdoors, hiking, walking trails, and exploring around in the neighborhood, so your dog will get plenty of movement and attention. I will always adapt movement and attention needs to your liking. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior dogs, and I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, crate-training basics, and helping anxious dogs feel secure. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with photos, check-ins, and clear communication so you always know your dog is in good hands. Whether your dog needs long walks, overnight care, or a dependable companion while you’re away, I bring consistency, kindness, and professional-level responsibility to every stay. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m already outdoors often, walking, working on the yard, biking, or taking my own dog out around the neighborhood or on the trails, so adding your pup into my day is a seamless fit. I’m available for boarding service either at my home or yours for 2-4 days during the week and weekend boarding requests as well. Your dog will always get consistent attention, movement, and care, never rushed or squeezed into a busy schedule. I provide a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel comfortable the moment they arrive. My home in Fair Oaks has a large, fenced yard with plenty of safe space to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised, gates stay secured, and I keep clear routines for feeding, play, and rest so dogs settle in smoothly. We have two friendly dogs of our own, a Papillon and a Min Pin/Jack Russell mix, who enjoy having new companions around. They’re social, well-behaved, and help create an easygoing atmosphere for visiting pups. If a dog prefers their own space, I can separate areas to make sure everyone feels relaxed. For boarding in my home, I do require that dogs are potty trained. If you’re still working on potty training, I’m more than happy to support that process in your home. I’m also comfortable with crate routines, senior care, medication reminders, and maintaining whatever structure your dog is used to. As a father and longtime pet owner, safety and communication are top priorities, I send photo updates and check-ins so you always feel connected while you’re away.
About: With a decade of dog care experience, I can ensure a loving, exciting & healthy experience for however long you need your pets cared for! I’ve looked after a wide variety of breeds and have become accustomed to many dogs’ different quirks and habits, and have learned through my experience at different rescue organizations, how to manage them. I’ve volunteered at several dog rescue organizations across the Bay Area and have fostered dogs, myself. I’m passionate about animal welfare, understand how to administer medication to dogs and will be very gentle and loving with your pets, I know they’re special to each of you and will treat them as my own while watching them! I am very conscious of reinstating habits that you’d like to teach your dog, while also ensuring that they feel safe and loved while under my care. I’m located near lots of local parks and am happy to give your dog outside playtime, park walks and have a fenced backyard for your pups to run around when they’re not on walks. Please note that I do have a sweet, friendly puppy of my own in my house hold, so if you are interested in my services, let’s set up a meet and greet to make sure our pets get along :) Please check out my schedule below for more info on week day times and boarding requests! :) I work in office early in the mornings most days and am off early to be able to take care of your pups in the evening & on weekends! I work remote on Tuesdays, so I can take care of your pups for a work day boarding or over the weekend. Feel free to reach out if a date isn’t available and I can see if I can move some things around! • Dog walking: Mon, Wed, Thurs: only available for afternoon availability (4 PM - 10 PM), Tues - all day, Friday - early morning and afternoon. • Boarding: I can only take in boarding requests starting 3pm on Thursday since I work in the office Mon, Wed, Thurs. I have a house with a courtyard for your pups to run around! I have cared for multiple family member’s dogs in my house and they’ve loved the area to lounge in the sun! I have lots of room inside the house for their dog beds, plenty of kitchen space for their bowls and a basket for toys.
“Ariana is very friendly and takes great care of my dog. I can tell that she is a "dog" person and that she knows what she is doing and really cares. It is a bonus that she does not over-charge for her services and offers the convenient pick up and drop off services. She takes several pictures and keeps me updated, which I appreciate.”
About: Hi! My name is Kimya, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I volunteer at shelters and I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, from small to large breeds as well as bully breeds. I understand firsthand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that goes into providing excellent care. In addition to caring for my own pets, my experience consists of volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I’ve worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. This experience has helped me become comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to shy, nervous, or misunderstood dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. Over the years, I have also gained experience caring for dogs with medical and behavioral needs. While I am not a veterinarian, I am attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to monitoring changes in appetite, energy level, mobility, skin and coat condition, digestive health, and overall well-being. I understand how important it is to notice when something isn’t quite right and communicate with owners promptly. I believe every pet is an individual, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar schedule, or simply having company while you’re away, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and understand the trust that comes with leaving a pet with someone else. You can expect dependable care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that your pet is in capable hands. I am available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and boarding depending on the dates needed. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will provide updates and photos throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs with special behavioral or medical considerations. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and any household rules you have in place. I have a fenced yard and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and routine so I can provide individualized care.
“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”
“Diann was great!! Diego and Rico enjoyed their extended stay with Diann. She was great at communicating, sending pictures, and just overall keeping us updated on our pups. You can just tell they really enjoyed the time in the yard running around and interacting with the other dogs. If you are looking for a great sitter, look no further than Diann!”

About: Hello there! My name is Brenda and I am new to the Greater Sacramento area. Before moving to Rancho Cordova I volunteered at the Inland Valley Humane Society and SPCA. I've always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets and helping care for family and friends' pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks. I'm naturally very patient and attentive with animals, and I genuinely enjoy to know their personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers to relax and cuddle, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or boarding — mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I may eventually pick up part-time work, but even then I’d still have consistent time set aside for pet care. There’s also a park right across the street from my apartment, so daily walks and playtime are easy to build into the routine. I enjoy having a reason to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits fit really naturally into my day. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need rather than feeling like they're just being checked off my list. Your pets safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I always want pets to feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I live in an apartment with two cats of my own so I don’t currently have dogs at home — just a calm, clean space I keep consistent for any pet staying with me. My cats are used to visitors and generally easygoing, but I’m happy to talk through introductions ahead of time if that matters for your pet. There’s a park directly across the street, which makes it easy to get dogs outside for exercise multiple times a day. I'm respectful of your home, your pet's normal routine. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions when needed, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual with your pet. Most importantly, I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll treat them with the same patience and care I could want for my own.

“Andrea was such a lifesaver! Scheduling was easy and she was flexible with drop-off/pick-up. The moment we met, I felt confident our pup was going to be loved and cared for by Andrea and her family. She sent pictures and updates, and even let our fur baby sleep on her bed. So happy and thankful for our experience.”
“Julie and her sister Sandy are wonderful. My miniature Dachshund, Bruno, has been going to their home for doggie daycare for some time now. They have gone above and beyond taking him with very little notice and picking him up and returning him. I feel very confident about his safety while in their care. Recently, I had an emergency and they picked him up without any notice and I boarded him with them for 3 days. This was the first time he was away from home and his first night he was nervous, but they gave him lots of reassurance and comfort. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a loving and caring doggie daycare and boarding in a home environment.”
“Divya was such a great sitter and took amazing care of my dog! She was super accommodating with my work schedule and even with my delayed pickup. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. Bodhi had such a great time with her dog, and it was clear he was happy and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be dropping him off with her again soon! 🐾❤️”
“I had a meet-and-greet with Lucy to see if she and my dog would be a good fit. Lucy asked thoughtful questions about his temperament, any special requirements he might have, and his daily routine. I really appreciated her attention to detail and preparation. When I dropped him off at her home, I realized I had booked her for the wrong weekend! Thankfully, Lucy was incredibly accommodating and still able to care for him, even on such short notice. Her flexibility and willingness to help allowed me to catch my flight and enjoy my trip without any stress. I’ll definitely be booking with Lucy for all my future dog-sitting needs.”
“Seriously the best place if you are looking for a dog sitter. My anxious dog hates being away from me but she has found a second home here. I drop her off knowing she will be well cared for, safe, and happy. So grateful to have finally found a family who understands her!”

Maggie will be 14 this year and she requires accommodations and special handling. Brooklyn has demonstrated compassion and understanding with my detailed instructions. She takes care to pay attention to Maggie's energy and gait and provides updates on her activities. Brooklyn is trustworthy and I feel comfortable with giving her access to my home when I'm away. Thank you Brooklyn!”
“Carmen did a great job walking my pup! She sent me lots of photos and kept me updated throughout the walk. She was very communicative and took great care of my pup. Thank you so much!”

I have worked for Honeys Heart in San Francisco where I helped with boarding, training, cleaning and feeding dogs as well as taking care and walking dogs. Of course tons of belly rubs and play time! I have fostered puppies as well as adult seniors. Some dogs I fostered for weeks to months until I found a loving home. I absolutely love and care for animals and I’m always excited to be part of their lives. I I feel that all animals need to have unconditional love and care and complete trust and respect. “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened”- Anatole.

I give all of my attention and care and can cater to every and any need.
“Riley has been such a amazing help while I was recovering from an injury that prevented me from being able to take my dog on a walk. He was very careful of her limitstions of being dog reactive and made me feel comfortable that she was in good hands!”
About: Hi! I have always loved animals, growing up with many cats, dogs, chickens, fish, birds, etc. Right now I have a cat, Luna, who we love dearly! We are not quite ready to fully pause travel and commit full time to a dog at home, so I am looking forward to enjoying some dog time via Rover! I am available all day on weekends, and after 5:15pm on week days. My Sat/Sun availability will vary based on my schedule, but I would love to take walks on my open weekends! I plan to ask pet preferences and communicate with the owner prior to our first walk. I am in tune with what a dog’s mood and what they may be communicating during our walk. I hope they enjoy the walk and my company during our time together.
“David is great! We couldn't survive our busy summer schedule without him and our dog, Murphy, loves spending time with him. We love getting photos of their walks and play time together. ”

About: My wife and I have been passionate about dogs for over 36 years. We've volunteered at the SPCA for the last 8 years, which is truly the highlight of our week. In that time, we've rescued over 50 dogs off the streets, reuniting them with their owners or finding them loving forever homes. We've also fostered 20 dogs, both long and short-term, and raised three wonderful Weimaraner's who all lived to be over 14. As they say, if you can raise a Weimaraner, you can care for any dog! After recently retiring, I’m now available 24/7 to take care of your pups and their needs. While my wife continues to work full-time, she'll still be involved every step of the way to ensure your furry friends are pampered and loved. We’re updating our profile after three fantastic years as Rover sitters because we absolutely love what we do! We only take care of one client's dogs at a time and have no pets of our own, so your dog will get 100% of our attention. We keep the same routines your dog is accustomed to at home—whether that means sleeping on beds or couches, special diets, or anything else they need. Our home features a large, fenced, grassy backyard and access to the best walking trails to the river in the Sacramento area. We’d love to welcome your furry friend into our home and make sure they feel just as comfortable here as they do at yours. I'm retired and your puppies care will be my full time job. My wife will also be assisting. We will only one family at time to create a stress-free environment for you Dog(s) Big fenced yard and close to walking trails with great sights and smells. Large amount of chew toys and sleeping beds to create all the comforts of home.
About: I absolutely love pets! I’ve taken care of all different kinds of cats and dogs for about 15 years and have experience volunteering and fostering with both elderly and newborn pets. Most of my work includes feeding, cleaning, bathing, and occasionally medicinal or bottle feeding care (if needed). I am currently working part time, but I still have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am available every day during the week. I don’t have a set schedule with work, but it is very flexible and can be discussed depending on your schedule. I personally have strict rules of keeping my pets inside at night due to frequent coyote sites in my area, and have no problem reigning in your pets if needed as well for whatever reason. I can absolutely bend to my clients rules in whatever means I can to ensure their pets safety.
“Have had Isabella dog walking service for a few months now, and I am still thrilled with her service! She's super attentive for my pup and I've seen such a growth in independence and potty training since having her. Thanks a million again, Isabella!”
About: Hello there! My name is Brenda and I am new to the Greater Sacramento area. Before moving to Rancho Cordova I volunteered at the Inland Valley Humane Society and SPCA. I've always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets and helping care for family and friends' pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks. I'm naturally very patient and attentive with animals, and I genuinely enjoy to know their personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers to relax and cuddle, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or boarding — mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I may eventually pick up part-time work, but even then I’d still have consistent time set aside for pet care. There’s also a park right across the street from my apartment, so daily walks and playtime are easy to build into the routine. I enjoy having a reason to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits fit really naturally into my day. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need rather than feeling like they're just being checked off my list. Your pets safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I always want pets to feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I live in an apartment with two cats of my own so I don’t currently have dogs at home — just a calm, clean space I keep consistent for any pet staying with me. My cats are used to visitors and generally easygoing, but I’m happy to talk through introductions ahead of time if that matters for your pet. There’s a park directly across the street, which makes it easy to get dogs outside for exercise multiple times a day. I'm respectful of your home, your pet's normal routine. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions when needed, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual with your pet. Most importantly, I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll treat them with the same patience and care I could want for my own.
About: Hi! My name is Kimya, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I volunteer at shelters and I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, from small to large breeds as well as bully breeds. I understand firsthand the responsibility, patience, and consistency that goes into providing excellent care. In addition to caring for my own pets, my experience consists of volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I’ve worked with dogs of different sizes, ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. This experience has helped me become comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to shy, nervous, or misunderstood dogs that need a little extra patience and structure. Over the years, I have also gained experience caring for dogs with medical and behavioral needs. While I am not a veterinarian, I am attentive and knowledgeable when it comes to monitoring changes in appetite, energy level, mobility, skin and coat condition, digestive health, and overall well-being. I understand how important it is to notice when something isn’t quite right and communicate with owners promptly. I believe every pet is an individual, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar schedule, or simply having company while you’re away, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own and understand the trust that comes with leaving a pet with someone else. You can expect dependable care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that your pet is in capable hands. I am available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and boarding depending on the dates needed. I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will provide updates and photos throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs with special behavioral or medical considerations. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and any household rules you have in place. I have a fenced yard and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and routine so I can provide individualized care.
About: I've been pet sitting since the fifth grade. I've sat cats and dogs and I have experience pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking. I've always had a passion for animals so this is a great side gig for me. I am a substitute teacher and I have two reptiles at home, so I'm currently only accepting jobs in my immediate area to cut down on travel time. I only come to your home to care for your pets, and I try to make sure they feel happy and comfortable and respecting your home and rules for your pet.

Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”

“Gustav had such a great time with Greg. So much so that he climbed back into his truck and didn’t want to leave! 😅. Greg sent a lot of photos and updates through the day. He’s got a nice backyard for the pups to hang out in and takes them for long walks. Will definitely be bringing Gus back for another stay.”
“Nadezhda (Nadia) and Alex are an awesome couple who welcomed Kenta as the newest member of their family. Kenta was loved, cared for, and pampered by the entire family. Alex and Nadia shared great pics and videos daily letting us see how content our big boy was with them. I recommend them highly.”

She sends pictures and videos of him during his stay which is also so comforting! We will continue to use her for all of our dog sitting needs!”
“Rachel is just amazing! She took care of my dog on short notice and kept me in the loop with all of my dog's activities. My usually shy pup really took a liking to her. Thanks a bunch, Rachel, for being so awesome and accommodating.”
