Sunny came home exhausted from so much fun! We will definitely use her again. It was great knowing our pup was so well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We are so grateful for her.”

“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!”

I was provided with pictures regularly of my happy pup and updates as to how she was doing while boarded. I would recommend Sara and would definitely use her services 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.
“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”

“Ruchi was wonderful with my dog Lucy. She has two other dogs,and she made sure they all got along. She sent pictures,and that made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend Ruchi, and will use her service 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!”


“So very highly recommended!!! Our puppy loves being in their home and receives the best care. The pictures and communications we get while we’re away is such a special touch!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Deborah! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our pup was happy and well-cared for, and we received regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She also took our pup on walks which was great. We will look forward to use her service again. Highly recommend!”
“Lainey loved her stay with Amanda! Amanda sent me lots of photos and kept in good communication. She took our dog out on walks and did lots of outside time with her. She was also flexible with pickup time for us!”

“This was my first experience using Rover and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kimberlee. Her and her family immediately put my mind at ease as I could see their love for my dog. I highly appreciated the pictures showing how happy my boy was and I will definitely be a returning client. Thank you Kimberlee!”

“We cannot rave too much about Irina's care for our Cassie. Irina communicated every step of the way, took Cassie running and swimming and sent us some of the best pics ever. Irina is a keeper! Six stars.”

“Samantha was extremely helpful with my dog and 2 cats. When it game to a meet and greet Samantha was very thorough and asked a lot of questions to ensure she didn’t miss anything.

She brushed and cuddled them and even cleaned them before we picked them up. I felt totally at peace and happy to have my precious two in her care. I am so grateful I found her and we will be back soon!”

“Irina sent news and pictures every day. When I arrived, the cat's room was clean and the water pots full and clean (in my last experience with another professional I found exactly the opposite when I arrived).”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn and follow a pet’s routine exactly so they feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re a puppy, adult, or senior. I’m patient and confident working with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and leash manners. I’m also attentive to senior pets, providing gentle care, slower-paced activity, medication support if needed, and close monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits into my routine through consistent daily habits and a small weekly reset. I take care of feeding and fresh water every day, along with making time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention so my pet stays healthy and engaged. I also do quick health checks to make sure everything seems normal. Once a week, I focus on cleaning, grooming, and restocking supplies. Overall, it’s built into my day in a way that feels manageable and routine rather than overwhelming. I care for pets by following a consistent, attentive routine that prioritizes their safety, comfort, and well-being. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get the appropriate exercise and bathroom breaks they need. I provide companionship and enrichment through play, attention, and positive interaction, while also monitoring their behavior and health for any changes. I follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including medication, feeding preferences, and routines, to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their environment

About: I don’t have much experience with taking care of cats. Most of my friends do own cats and so always hang out with them. I have volunteered at Fat Kitty City where there are a multitude of cats that I feed.
“Ruth took excellent care of our 3 kitties! I love that she was very thorough and took the time to let us know in detail everything she did with each visit. Although our kitties are very shy and hid under the bed when she came over, she still made sure to check on them and snap a pic so we could see their glowing eyes under the bed. ? We would definitely recommend Ruth and will be happy to have her care for our kitties again. ?”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was my childhood cat, who I got when I was 2 years old and who lived with me for 17 wonderful years before crossing the rainbow bridge. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and a passion for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. I currently have two Dobermans and a kitty of my own. I recently moved to a 2 acre property, which has been amazing for training and working with my dogs, they’re truly thriving with the space and lifestyle they deserve. To me, pets are family, and I always strive to give them the best care, attention, and love possible. I’ve also rescued and fostered kittens in need, helping them find safe and loving forever homes. Caring for animals genuinely brings me happiness, and having them in my life has always been incredibly fulfilling. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I already care for my own animals every day. At my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also have spacious fenced in kennels available if needed for safety, rest time, or individual comfort. Pets are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and cared for in a clean, calm environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines, instructions, and house rules to help pets feel comfortable and stress free in their familiar environment. I like to check in with pet parents often, sending pictures and updates to give them peace of mind while their pets are in my care.

“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 have taken care of personal, friends, family, and strangers animals since I was about 8! I had animals in the 4H and FFA and have dealt with numerous species including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, reptiles, and all livestock. I have also had my own of numerous since I was a small child. I currently have a part time job and am available most days of the week! I am also an online full time student at Sierra College!

We have a nice neighborhood to take walks through and so many things to see!

About: I've had two dogs of my own as an adult, grew up with family dogs, and regularly do walks and drop-ins for my neighbor's dog. Both of my boys were brachycephalic breeds, so I understand how much care that takes — I'm especially attentive to heat sensitivity, breathing, and pacing during walks, and I know how to read a dog's signals and adjust accordingly. I've taken several dog training classes, read several books on positive dog training, and understand a dog's body language and signals. I've also cared for both senior and sick dogs, including my English bulldog who lived to 12 and my Frenchie that I supported through IVDD and surgery. I'm currently between jobs at the moment, and both my kids are in school. I'm generally open from 9am to 4pm for drop-ins and walks. I am extremely cautious and respectful in people's homes, and sensitive to both to their privacy and their belongings. I don't even like opening the fridge in my siblings' own homes.
“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!”

“Sara is obviously great with animals and I’m so thankful she was able to watch my high energy dog on short notice. Perfect yard and she took him on walks during the day. Will definitely book again!”

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.

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.

My current home project is to build them a catio so they can sleep there too.

About: Hi! My name is Sydnee. I’m a 23 year old married animal lover with extensive, hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes. I’ve owned horses since I was young and into adulthood, so I’m very comfortable with livestock as well as typical household pets. I currently have five cats and a dog of my own, and I’ve been actively caring for animals since I was about 13 years old. What started as helping neighbors, friends, and family quickly grew into a full pet sitting business. After several years, I took a break to explore other career paths and get married but my love for animal care never left. I’m excited to be jumping back into pet care and would love the opportunity to provide reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable care for your animals. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including early mornings, late evenings, extended visits, and last-minute changes when needed. This flexibility allows me to spend quality, unrushed time with each pet and provide consistent, dependable care that fits seamlessly into their normal routine. A day with me is filled with attentive care, comfort, and plenty of love. Your pet’s routine comes first, meals are served on schedule, medications (if needed) are given carefully, and there’s lots of time for play, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their personality. Whether that means long walks, quiet cuddle time, interactive play, or simply relaxing nearby, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: Hi! I'm a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, a former Division I athlete, and an experienced dog and house sitter. I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, including senior dogs who need extra patience, medication reminders, slower walks, and individualized attention. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and active lifestyle. As a former student-athlete, I'm extremely dependable and understand the importance of consistency and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, comforting environment, I tailor my care to their specific needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident while you're away.

I understand that pets are most comfortable in their own home, so I strive to maintain their regular routine and provide personalized care based on their needs. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, or extra attention for senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind.

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
About: I began Pet Sitting professionally when I was 16, but I have been caring for friend's and neighbor's pets as long as I can remember. I have also been a vet tech and managed a Doggie Daycare. My love is animals and I love working with them. I have wide availability and can accommodate almost any scheduling need. Pet Sitting is my job, not a side gig, so my calendar is committed. I intend to keep your pet's routine as close to regular as possible. I will work with you to determine what your pet will need while you're gone. I am reliable and trustworthy, and I'm Licensed and Insured for even more peace of mind. The safety and security of your pets and home are imperative while you're away. Having a sitter come to your home can make your home appear occupied and deter crime.

“Walee was one of the best dog sitters we have ever had! We think our terrier Sunny had a better time than we did…Walee sent us lots of wonderful photos of our Sunny playing with her dog and her son. Sunny came home exhausted from so much fun! We will definitely use her again. It was great knowing our pup was so well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We are so grateful for her.”

“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!”

“Sara was very responsive to my pup's needs, and arrived on time to pick her up. I was told she used her "magic" to quiet the other dogs at my place that were barking at her. I was provided with pictures regularly of my happy pup and updates as to how she was doing while boarded. I would recommend Sara and would definitely use her services 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.
“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Deborah! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our pup was happy and well-cared for, and we received regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She also took our pup on walks which was great. We will look forward to use her service again. Highly recommend!”
“Lainey loved her stay with Amanda! Amanda sent me lots of photos and kept in good communication. She took our dog out on walks and did lots of outside time with her. She was also flexible with pickup time for us!”

“This was my first experience using Rover and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kimberlee. Her and her family immediately put my mind at ease as I could see their love for my dog. I highly appreciated the pictures showing how happy my boy was and I will definitely be a returning client. Thank you Kimberlee!”

“We cannot rave too much about Irina's care for our Cassie. Irina communicated every step of the way, took Cassie running and swimming and sent us some of the best pics ever. Irina is a keeper! Six stars.”

“Sharon and Albert were outstanding during Gatsby's 12-day stay with them. She is super responsive, sends tons of pictures and really took the time to understand Gatsby's needs, likes and behaviors. He had an amazing time, made tons of friends and I had a super stress-free trip knowing that he was in great hands. Her home & backyard is so pup-friendly and perfect for outdoor playtime - Gatsby had an amazing time, came home tired and happy. I will definitely be taking him to Sharon the next time I need to leave him when I'm away.”

“Amber did a great job! She stepped up and accepted Osa at the last moment. Osa was happy, and Amber ensured it was not too hot to take her out until it cooled off during a 100-degree day.”


“Sylvia was great. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a lovely home and a very sweet dog and her dog and ours got along great. A nice backyard for them to romp around in, and a lot of attentive care. We felt great about his stay with Sylvia. Would definitely take advantage of her hosting again. Highly recommended.”

“Alexis was wonderful with my baby! She sent pics and videos and kept me updated the entire time. He had so much fun playing with her dog too. He's home and completely crashed out, sleeping off all of his playtime. I will definitely be booking with Alexis again!”
