“Perfect spot for my little dog! We had to travel for 10 days and we were very anxious about boarding her, because she is very gentle and used to a quiet environment. Sharon took such good care of her and sent us photos daily. We could tell that she really enjoyed her stay. I am so happy that I found this happy retreat for my puppy!!!”
“We've only left our dog with two sitters from Rover.com and Michelle proved to be the perfect match for our dog, Abbie. It was obvious that Abbie was much happier with this sitter (than the previous couple)! Michelle sent videos of her showing how happy she was, which was so comforting for us. She will be our preferred dog sitter from now on!”
“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”
“Shannon is exceptional!! Our pup loves being with her and her family and she's always well taken care of. Shannon sent photos and videos and we can tell that our girl loves her (ears back, smiley face, stubby Frenchie tail wagging). Shannon is a great communicator, organized, friendly, accommodating, and overall, just wonderful!! Thank you Shannon, for taking such good care of our girl again. We had no worries at all on our trip!! We appreciate you! :)”
“This last week, Sara took care of our two pups for the second time. Quincy and Lucy both came home well cared for and very happy. Both my husband and I trust Sara with our furry friends and know they are having a wonderful time while we are gone. We will continue to have Sara watch them. Lucy is our 14 year old Labrador Retriever and Sara is extremely knowledgeable on how to take care of a senior dog. This is a quality that is important to us. Sara is the Best!!!”
“Lis was great! Very communicative and you could tell she knows what she’s doing and has a lot of experience with dogs including introducing them to feel safe and comfortable. I’m so happy I chose her to watch Fenway for me, from all the cute pics she sent me I could tell Fenway had one of the best weekends ever running around playing. Will definitely be booking again for my next trip! :)”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“If I could leave 6 stars, I would. Amy and Justin were amazing watching my dog Chubbs for over a week. They have a great yard for dogs and dog bed all around their house - it is basically a resort for the doggos. The end of each day they sent over a bunch of photos with a recap of the day. I don’t think Chubbs wanted to leave!”
“Walee took care of our 6 month old puppy, Miski. We are very thankful for her kind and loving attitude. Walee went above and beyond! She kept us informed with texts and photos; she made Miski feel like she was part of their family and even took her to the dog park!. Walee's dog, Ike, is adorable and super playful. Ike and Miski became great friends. We think Miski is missing Ike a bit. Her other dog, Suchi is a loving senior citizen who wasn't up to the energetic playfulness of Ike and Miski. Walee has a large property, dogs can roam and run, but also she brings them inside and spoils them with couch time. First class service. Thanks!”
“Jenn and her family provided great care for my GSP. He returned smiling and ecstatic! Jenn is very experienced with dogs and has her space is well thought out to accommodate different dogs.”
“Sara was great! Lovely home on a lake, secluded and quiet with fenced in dog play yard. Her older dog was great with my young puppy and she sent me photo updates frequently. I would use her again!”
“Patti and Joe are very nice and love their dogs. Rylee's stay was good and he did receive lots of activity, attention and made a new friend in Buttons! The only issue was when Rylee returned home, he had stomach (throwing up) and potty (diarrhea) issues. I believe this was due to extra food/treats/kibble that he received outside of the instructed daily recommended kibble plan that he is accustomed to. He has a very sensitive stomach and is typically not given any people food or alternate dog food and has to follow the instructed meal schedule. Once he gets back on track he will be ok and otherwise all was well. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Ruchi & Nitin have been truly incredible sitters for our beloved dog. They have been extremely trustworthy and communicative. We really feel very grateful for their responsible, affectionate care they've provided.”
“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!”
“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!”
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.

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've always had a cat since I was 5 years old. While they don't usually require everything a dog does, I understand that every cat is different and each has its own personality. If your cat needs special attention, or is a cuddle and wants someone to pet or brush them 3× a day, I will happily do it. I also know some cats are the kind you just feed and don't want you to touch them, and I can respect their boundaries too.

“Lianna was the best pet sitter we ever had. She communicated with us throughout the whole trip and was very attentive to the kitties. She got many pictures of the cat who hides all the time which means she liked her. We also had an ant problem come up while gone and she helped us control the issue. Will definitely use her in the future!”

About: I had been taking care of my family's assortment of animals and plants for quite some time before assisting neighbors, friends, and extended family with theirs. My experience includes but is not limited to feeding, bathing, cleaning living spaces, application of medicines, herding, and playing with animals! I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that be dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and even some livestock. Its fun getting to know them and their unique personalities while caring for their everyday needs. My weekly schedule jumps around with odd hours at my part-time job and taking care of my own animals, but I can bend my schedule easily to accommodate secondary jobs that come my way! Be it at 5am, 10pm, or any time in between As I usually work out of my client's home, I will observe and utilize all resources provided, including doors and gates that seal animals off from specific areas, watching for potential eating hazards, and ideally being introduced to the pets prior to sitting so that they are familiar with me. Every animal is different and I will accommodate them however is needed.

“Michelle and Dave are amazing! I knew I had found the perfect sitters within minutes. Truly dog lovers. My three year old Pom Chi has never had day care, she loves them! I highly recommend them!”
“Michelle was great with my dog Oakley! I was so thankful she was able to take him on short notice and accommodate whatever we needed... Her house is on a large property that's fully enclosed and in a beautiful gated community in the hills. Whether you have a big dog that loves to run around and interact with other friendly animals or a small dog that prefers to spend time inside close to people, Michelle's house is an awesome place for pets! My dog has major separation anxiety, but instead of stressing out like he normally does when he knows I'm leaving him, Oakley immediately settled in and started exploring the property with one of her dogs right after we got there! I could tell from Michelle's updates and photos that Oakley was really enjoying his time there and felt comfortable he would be well taken care of if he needed to stay even longer in the future. The location of her house turned out to be really convenient and close to where I was going, but even if I'm further away the next time I'm in town and need a sitter, I know that Michelle will be our first choice for sure!”

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.
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have had many pets; dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, sheep and more. I thoroughly enjoy being with animals, loving and caring for them. Some of my first jobs were at animal clinics, where I learned a lot about caring for animals. I was in FFA as a youth, where I raised and showed sheep, and where I also learned a lot. In my younger years I had many horses. I learned how to care for them, feeding, exercising, and cleaning up after them, etc! I learned responsibility, in addition to a deep love of animals. All of my experiences with my own animals, have made me a knowledgeable, responsible and compassionate animal care provider. I am currently semi-retired from working in the hospitality industry. I have plenty of time and I would thoroughly enjoy taking care of your beloved pets. I have an adorable mini schnauzer, Dudley, and a domestic short hair cat, Pete. I love them both so much and get so much enjoyment out of having and caring for them. We love cuddling, talking, and playing. I make sure they have the food, treats, exercise and attention they desire, and are well taken care of and will treat yours with the same love and respect that I show to my own pets.
About: I have always had dogs/animals. We have 5 dogs of our own. We also foster with a local rescue. We specialize in the squish face breeds. We completely understand climate control. We love to exercise outside and go out often to romp. I am currently working remote part of the time (office days are Tues/Thurs). We typically always have someone home and the dogs are likely never alone for more than a 2-3 hour period. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play! We do not have a fenced yard, so our preference would be dogs that are not a flight risk! We can use a flexi leash for potty breaks but that would limit outside play for our guests. We live on 2.5 acres with a lot of grass to romp and play. Our dogs do not go outside unless supervised.
“We had to find a sitter for one day for Issa, our German Shepard. We were able to drop her off early and pick her up the same day. Elisabeth made the arrangements very accommodating. Our puppy played in the water and seemed to have had great day. We would love to have her watch Issa 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: Hi, I grew up around several different animals of all sizes from rodents/reptiles to livestock/dogs. I have always had at least one dog in my life at all times. The more the merrier. I love all animals big and small. I worked at a kennel where I learned about boarding and training dogs for about a year and I have pet sat for about 15 years in grand total. I currently work at a pet store in Sutter Creek. I love being around dogs and training or even just hanging out and playing. I am a outdoorsy person. I have experience with livestock animals also. Horses, cattle, chickens, Lhamas, mini animals, donkeys. I have references also if you would like them. Our home is completely fenced and sits on 3 acres. We have two friendly german shepherds. I work part time so some days I am gone at work. But our 17 year old daughter is always home. We also go to church Sunday morning so we would be gone for a couple hours but otherwise we are always home. I care for pets in my home as I would my own. I have 3 German Shepherds. 10 months to 7 years old. As for in home pet sitting I would follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies already so it would be easier on them.
“Alexa was wonderful with our shy pup Ollie. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. Ollie takes time to warm up to new people, and Alexa was incredibly patient and she let him come around on his own terms. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little guy. Highly recommend Alexa!”
“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!”

Our seniors are loved and cared for savoring every last day. We have a ranch with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and explore as well as a huge dog run. We offer different places to keep them safe if running off leash is not the best for your baby. I am a self-employed realtor, who works from home. My husband is a rancher and contractor so one of us is typically home there are times of course when we leave but everybody is locked up safe and sound and they are also welcome to take the car ride with us should we need to run some errands. if it’s important that nobody ever leaves your baby, we can make that accommodation as well. We have a 12 x 24 kennel with multiple dog houses we have kennels of different sizes. We also have a barn with 12 x 12 stalls. We have a fenced in deck that is 30 x 50 so there are many opportunities for your baby to be outside in the fresh air And still be safe.

About: After having a senior dog who couldn't be by himself for even 10 minutes, I understand how hard it can be when you can't make any plans, or take a vacation, because you are worried about your dog. I just want to help people who are in the same situation I was.. I am available nights, and weekends and holidays. Basically, all those times it is most difficult to find anyone to petsit-I can be there. For one afternoon or two weeks, whatever you need.. I am just trying to help pet parents out. I have always been the person who family, friends and neighbors call when they need someone to watch their pets. I just started doing this professionally, but already have glowing recommendations from everyone I have worked for. I understand how important it is for your pet to be comfortable and have found the best way to do this, is to come prior to the petsitting job to do a meet and greet with your pet so they know me, when I show up to watch them. I provide updates throughout the time I am there with videos sent so you can see for yourself how your dog is doing in my care. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch,

I am extremely patient and happy to work with any number of needs. I keep owners updated with photos for some peace of mind throughout their time away. I’m currently on summer break before I start nursing school in the fall! Very open on weekdays and most weekends, I can stay in the home or do regular walks. I enjoy long walks and have done long stay dog sitting jobs in homes for multiple families. I can do walks in parks if pavement is too hot and bring lots of water!
About: I have been a volunteer trainer with the Sierra At Tahoe Avalanche Dogs since I was about 10. My father runs the dog program so I grew up being taught how to train, take care of, and watch over dogs since I was a toddler. At the ski mountain I helped drill the dogs to find subjects in the snow, played, walked, fed, took to the bathroom, and watched over the dogs ages ranging from puppies to senior dogs. My family also has three dogs and three cats all of I have assisted in training, and most of the time look after on my own. I recently left my job so I am open full time with my schedule to take part in pet care. On some days I do need to watch my own animals since my parents work full time, but even then I am always available for even just a check in if needed! I make sure my pets have a set in feeding time as well as they have a signal for bathroom breaks, even if they do not show me they need to go I will periodically let them outside or take them on a walk. Besides just food and bathroom I love to work on skills, tricks, and just playing with the dogs throughout the day as to make sure they are enriched and happy. These qualities go for all animals I may watch too! I pride myself in being able to recognize their behavior so I can adapt for them what they need or want!
About: Hi! I’m a college student-athlete with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from energetic puppies to wise senior pups. Growing up with dogs taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and quirks. As someone who stays active, I’m more than happy to take your dog on long walks, jogs, or even runs — whatever fits their energy level. Whether your pup loves cuddles on the couch or playtime in the yard, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

You can trust that your dog will be cared for in a secure, comfortable, and engaging environment.
“Bailey has been walking my two dogs while I am away at work. She Is very trustworthy and reliable. It gives me piece of mind knowing my dogs are well taken care of, and I love that I get a picture of them every time they go out.”
“Kendall was wonderful. She was very calm with my hyper puppy. I would definitely use her again and again and again. She was very professional and you could tell she loves dogs.”

We have a pond to wade in as well which is Shadows favorite thing to do. We are always keeping an eye on all of our animals and make sure they are safe and always have what they need. We also have 4 indoor kitties but they usually hide when company is around.
About: I've had a love and passion for animals since I was a child. I adopted my first pet in 2014. A beautiful female Queensland Heeler and American Pitbull mix named Sadie. She has been my service animal for over 5 years. I began my pet care career as a pet shelter assistant. A few years later, I became a Grooming Salon Assistant and have been grooming every since. I have knowledge of most breeds and am comfortable working with any sized dog, any temperament. I have also worked as a Kennel Assistant in a Veterinary office. I learned the in and outs of boarding, administering medications, and making sure all pets get adequate care. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I'm currently working part time but need extra money as I don't have enough hours. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work out overnight stays. While caring for pets, I greet them and make sure they're comfortable with me. I like to offer treats and take the time to have them trust in me. I ensure all food bowls and water bowls are filled. I take them out for potty and walks every 2-4 hours. I ensure they get adequate play time, whether inside or outside. Give them lots of love and attention ☺️ All while abiding by your care rules, ie training, medications, etc.

“Perfect spot for my little dog! We had to travel for 10 days and we were very anxious about boarding her, because she is very gentle and used to a quiet environment. Sharon took such good care of her and sent us photos daily. We could tell that she really enjoyed her stay. I am so happy that I found this happy retreat for my puppy!!!”
“We've only left our dog with two sitters from Rover.com and Michelle proved to be the perfect match for our dog, Abbie. It was obvious that Abbie was much happier with this sitter (than the previous couple)! Michelle sent videos of her showing how happy she was, which was so comforting for us. She will be our preferred dog sitter from now on!”
“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”
“This last week, Sara took care of our two pups for the second time. Quincy and Lucy both came home well cared for and very happy. Both my husband and I trust Sara with our furry friends and know they are having a wonderful time while we are gone. We will continue to have Sara watch them. Lucy is our 14 year old Labrador Retriever and Sara is extremely knowledgeable on how to take care of a senior dog. This is a quality that is important to us. Sara is the Best!!!”
“Lis was great! Very communicative and you could tell she knows what she’s doing and has a lot of experience with dogs including introducing them to feel safe and comfortable. I’m so happy I chose her to watch Fenway for me, from all the cute pics she sent me I could tell Fenway had one of the best weekends ever running around playing. Will definitely be booking again for my next trip! :)”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“If I could leave 6 stars, I would. Amy and Justin were amazing watching my dog Chubbs for over a week. They have a great yard for dogs and dog bed all around their house - it is basically a resort for the doggos. The end of each day they sent over a bunch of photos with a recap of the day. I don’t think Chubbs wanted to leave!”
“Walee took care of our 6 month old puppy, Miski. We are very thankful for her kind and loving attitude. Walee went above and beyond! She kept us informed with texts and photos; she made Miski feel like she was part of their family and even took her to the dog park!. Walee's dog, Ike, is adorable and super playful. Ike and Miski became great friends. We think Miski is missing Ike a bit. Her other dog, Suchi is a loving senior citizen who wasn't up to the energetic playfulness of Ike and Miski. Walee has a large property, dogs can roam and run, but also she brings them inside and spoils them with couch time. First class service. Thanks!”
“Jenn and her family provided great care for my GSP. He returned smiling and ecstatic! Jenn is very experienced with dogs and has her space is well thought out to accommodate different dogs.”
“Sara was great! Lovely home on a lake, secluded and quiet with fenced in dog play yard. Her older dog was great with my young puppy and she sent me photo updates frequently. I would use her 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.”
“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!”
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.

“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!”
“I can’t thank Amber enough! She took care of our dog on less than a week’s notice due to an emergency and was incredibly accommodating and flexible with both pickup and drop-off times. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated during the drive to her home, throughout the stay, and even when we were arranging pickup. She sent lots of happy photos, and it was clear our pup was having a great time. Our dog came home happy. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d absolutely book with her again without hesitation!”
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.
