“My dog could probably give a more accurate review, but from what I experienced, Michelle was great to work with. She was very accommodating and flexible. Looked like my pup got plenty of excercise and was well cared for. The drop-off/bath services were a big perk, saved me a lot of hassle. Thanks Michelle!”

“Sharon and Albert are amazing! They are so warm and welcoming and took such incredible care of our Kona❤️ pics and videos and updates daily. We thought he'd never want to go home with us haha. Definitely just like family to our boy and we will be back!”


“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!”

“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.”

“Thai was a very happy pup when at Sara’s, having just lost his sister he was so happy to have new friends to hang with. We were just as happy with the ease, convenience, and location of Sara’s. Sara is very friendly and very good with dogs and animals in general. We will use her services again.”


“My doggos were taken such great care of during their stay! Highly recommended and will absolutely ask Patti and her husband to take care of my dogs again in the future.”

“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”

“Ruchi and Nitin are amazing. Henderson was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Excellent communication and very reliable. Would absolutely recommend and rebook!”

“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.”
“Our first ever time using rover and it was a success thanks to Irina! Stitch had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs and I appreciated Irina sending photos to put us at ease.”

“Would highly recommend!! Communication was superb and my doggies were treated like additional members of the family. I received lots of pictures and updates that made me feel confident that they were in great hands and enjoying themselves!! Will definitely be using 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: Belly rubs, couch cuddles, neighborhoods walking, backyard playing and toy playing. I love caring for animals, especially dogs. I have been around dogs for 18 years, caring for my own dogs and friends’ dogs. I prioritize your pet's safety and your peace of mind above all else. I follow your specific feeding, medication, and crate schedules perfectly. You can expect frequent photo updates, quick responses, and a highly structured, secure environment for your furry family member. I work from home every day. My schedule is very friendly for me to interact with and care for the furry friends. I don’t like to leave the dogs alone at home, even for my own dog. I have a large fence yard for your dog to go out and get outdoor play time. I also have a 2 years old miniature sheepadoodle who loves to run and play. Her name is Lulu, and she will keep your dog good company.

Cat caregivers near you - Mount Aukum
Prices are estimates per visit for 1 cat. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.

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.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and I will provide the perfect care to your pets. I provide dog walking, properly excersing your dogs and letting them out to go to the bathroom when needed. I will be willing to come to your home to check and feed your pets. Making sure your pet is cared for properly is my most important rule. I have had 3+ years experience with my own summer pet sitting business, and I will make sure your pets have the nicest stay. I have worked at a dog grooming shop and as a vet assistant so I know how to properly handle large dogs and small. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets by giving them walks, food, cuddles and more! I make sure if I am staying in your home to leave it cleaner than I found it, and always make sure the pets feel comfortable with me being in their space!
“Phenomenal and absolutely caring. My cat looovvved Terri. Terri's care and communication made me feel completely at ease. Her passion for animals goes way beyond. Would absolutely hire again.”


“We really appreciated Katelyn’s stay in our home to care for our two new kittens for the weekend. She sent us updates and the kittens were safe and sound when we returned. She even fed our fish. We would love to book her help again!”

“Grace was wonderful! I have never left my pets with a stranger before, but she made me feel so comfortable. Grace was quick to respond and checked in regularly. It seems like the cats really warmed to her. I will absolutely book Grace again 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.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. With dogs, I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, daily walks, exercise routines, basic training reinforcement, and administering medications when needed. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive interaction to keep dogs happy and well-behaved. For cats, I’m experienced in maintaining clean litter boxes, feeding routines, grooming, and creating a calm, stress-free environment—especially for more independent or shy personalities. I pay close attention to behavior and health cues in both dogs and cats, ensuring any changes are noticed early. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in caring, capable hands. I currently live and work full-time for Amador County. Outside of my 9-5 Mon thru Fri county work I am available for house and pet sits. I prefer to pet sit in clients homes, feeling that as little change as possible in a pets environment can reduce stress and separation anxiety.

“Honest, caring, careful. Rilyne wanted to get everything right from the first communication to the delivered love and the last message. Respectful, mindful, communicative, timely. My cats were happy! I look forward to booking her again!”

About: I am nineteen and currently have two of my own cats that I fully take care of myself. Along with this for the past five years I have cat sit for various friends and family friends. I have owner cats my whole life and pride myself in being able to take care of them and understand their needs!

About: I’ve cared for cats of all personalities since I was young, growing up on a farm surrounded by animals. I understand that cats need patience, a calm environment, and consistent care to feel safe and comfortable. I provide a peaceful, low-stress setting where your cat can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to feeding routines, litter box cleanliness, and behavior changes, and I take the time to build trust with each cat at their own pace. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I adjust my care to fit their needs. My goal is to make sure your cat feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.
About: Certified Veterinary Assistant (Kaplan College). I worked as a canine groomer for 5 years, providing experience with all breeds of pups. Volunteer at the SPCA for 2+ years, which includes canine behavioral classes. I've spent the last 3 years running my farm and caring for or boarding horses, cattle, goats, dogs, kitties. I have a set schedule Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide a predictable time frame of my availability throughout the week. I commute from the the Swansboro area, to downtown Placerville which makes it easy to swing by most areas of Placerville for weekday visits. My weekends are completely open for mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand pets get lonely the second their people leave, and I understand what it's like to worry about your babies while you're away! I'm willing to visit, walk, feed, simply hang out, and of course provide photo updates so you can try to enjoy your time away.
About: Owner Away? I’ll Sit and Stay. I am willing to take care of your dog at my house or yours and have been an avid lover of our furry friends for as long as I can remember. Besides caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish and gerbils of my own in the past, I have been declared the animal whisperer in my family. I am currently a third-year student studying to create prosthetics for animals at Cal Poly University and volunteer with Guide Dogs for the Blind as well as two other organizations that foster and rehouse animals to their furrrever homes. I would love nothing more than the opportunity to meet with you and your pet to give them the best level of care while you're away and to help you feel confident in trusting to leave your fur baby with me. I am currently taking this quarter off of school to focus on work and so I have quite a bit of free time as my job only requires that I work from home. That being said, whatever availability is required to fit your needs, that is a department I am more than flexible to appease. Ideally, I would like to offer care in the client's home, whether that be pet/house sitting or just walking the dog. In that situation, I would be more than happy to take care of upkeeping the household if need be (i.e. water plants, take out the trash, pick up the mail, etc.) I live in an apartment complex where smaller animals are allowed so depending on the client's case, I can try to accommodate housing arrangements in my home instead.
About: Lifelong pet owner/lover. I've had dogs and cats since before I can remember and have experience in house sitting and pet care. I also have basic training skills with dogs. I love taking care of animals with my whole heart and can bond/adapt to animals needs very well. I currently work a part time job where my hours are usually 6-8 hours a couple days a week so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I currently cannot board animals in my own home, but I can easily adapt to how you take care of your fur babies in your own home. I treat them as my own and want them to be as comfortable and happy as possible while their family away.
“Dylyn did great with our animals! Our dogs and cat were well taken care of and happy to have Dylyn around. She was very communicative, she jumped in when our older dog needed more care than we initially thought and was overall a great find! Dylyn had great ideas to keep the pups busy and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. We will use her again!”


“Cole has been amazing! He offered a meet and greet beforehand to get to know the cats, and he was very thorough in taking care of them. We will definitely be asking for his help in the future! We knew our cats were in good hands with him.”

About: I adore animals. I have two dogs of my own that I love more than life. I can provide dog sit anywhere that works best for you! I am currently working a part-time job so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy playing with pets to encourage their mental health along with physical health. I will report any concerning issues and will go on walks as scheduled

Additionally I have two older French bulldogs who are house trained and very friendly, as well as two cane corsos who get along well with all animals including pony,goats, and pigs- they’re all pals! All of my animals are well-behaved , and I’ve often been told I should’ve been a vet or a dog trainer because of my love for animals. I have two separate backyards-one for the smaller dogs and one for the bigger ones. However I’m accustomed to rotating them due to my experience as a whelper. I know how to manage introducing new dogs and keeping them separate if needed.My dogs have access to indoors and outdoors, and they sleep in the house at night. I’ve set up set up my garage to be cozy and welcoming for dogs to stay in at night.

“Two weeks after adopting a rescue, I was nervous to leave him with anyone and almost cancelled my trip to the snow, but we found Sara instead! She took such good care of my boy who had been through a lot in two weeks! He had a great day and once we got home, had one VERY great sleep!”

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.
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.
“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: 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.
“Alexa provided such a wonderful Rover experience. She's a great communicator, very attuned to a pet's care instructions, and I came back to find my pup so relaxed and happy with her. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with her, thank you Alexa!”

About: We have been around animals our whole lives. We have never been without an animal. We take our pups with us everywhere (and we would yours too!). They are spoiled and loved to the max. If they had a career is professional animal cuddling I would be on that path. Our dogs had a litter so we are experiences from the second of birth to senior dogs needing extra care. I only work half the week, but that doesn't stop me. I am always on the go go go. My dogs (and yours) ALWAYS come first in this house! I have a fully fenced and gated 1.02 acre piece of land. My two labs are basically inside dogs. Very needy for mom and dad. We go camping as well as have lake days. Even though they are 5 years old they are still as hyper as 8 weeks old. We do lots of walks and we do a lot around are acre as well.

“Charleston, our 65-lb shepherd/lab mix, hadn't been anywhere for ages, due to COVID, so I was a little worried to drop him off with a stranger for a few hours, but Aryela made him feel right at home! He was tired, as one would expect, but in a great mood, after his stay with Aryela. Great choice!”


“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!! :)”

“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.”

“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.”

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,

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: Lifelong pet owner/lover. I've had dogs and cats since before I can remember and have experience in house sitting and pet care. I also have basic training skills with dogs. I love taking care of animals with my whole heart and can bond/adapt to animals needs very well. I currently work a part time job where my hours are usually 6-8 hours a couple days a week so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I currently cannot board animals in my own home, but I can easily adapt to how you take care of your fur babies in your own home. I treat them as my own and want them to be as comfortable and happy as possible while their family away.

“Chelsea is great! She responds quickly, shows up on time, is flexible, and has worked with me to address my dog’s needs. My dog takes a while to warm up to people, but she felt comfortable with Chelsea almost immediately and I did as well. If you are in the Jackson area I highly recommend Chelsea as a dog walker.”

About: People have loved my dog and other pet care for years. They know if their pets get very excited upon seeing me there is a reason. I am energetic and adjust to every pet’s activity, while being cooperative and sensitive to any health issues. The health and safety of every pet is of utmost importance to me as well as their environment. I take every precaution to protect pets from harm including potential harm from other animals.

I manage my own schedule and my priority is spending as much time as possible pet sitting and caring for animals. I think the more the merrier which is why I include up to 3 pets in my standard rates. Each pet is given their fair share of my attention and care. I think all pets deserve as much diversity and entertainment as is recommended for their breed or type so I strive to create safe activities and an environment that keeps them stimulated and happy.
About: I adore animals. I have two dogs of my own that I love more than life. I can provide dog sit anywhere that works best for you! I am currently working a part-time job so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy playing with pets to encourage their mental health along with physical health. I will report any concerning issues and will go on walks as scheduled
“Cole was amazing with our beagle puppy, Cowboy. Cole was super communicative and friendly, and he took Cowboy on a long walk at the nearby dog park. Cole has dogs of his own, so he has a wealth of knowledge on how to train and take care of our dog. Would highly recommend Cole!”

About: We have had dogs in our home our entire life. They are always a family member and treated with the best of love and care. I come from a family of breeders and a hunting and show dogs. 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. If your dog is an inside dog, we will keep him inside with us and he will be warm and cozy at bedtime.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up being surrounded by animals and they have always been a huge part of my life. I had my English Springer Spaniel, Beau, for 13 years and just recently adopted a Bearded Collie/Golden Lab mix puppy. I also have my two 6 year cats, Rupert and Carl. I am the manager of a winery but have a pretty flexible schedule-especially in the evenings. I'm off work on Mondays and Fridays and am able to leave work early, if necessary. I'm also available in the early morning before 10am. Since I have three animals of my own, and to not upset their environment, it would be best for me to go to clients' homes to feed and take care of their animals.

“My dog could probably give a more accurate review, but from what I experienced, Michelle was great to work with. She was very accommodating and flexible. Looked like my pup got plenty of excercise and was well cared for. The drop-off/bath services were a big perk, saved me a lot of hassle. Thanks Michelle!”

Thank you.”

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: Belly rubs, couch cuddles, neighborhoods walking, backyard playing and toy playing. I love caring for animals, especially dogs. I have been around dogs for 18 years, caring for my own dogs and friends’ dogs. I prioritize your pet's safety and your peace of mind above all else. I follow your specific feeding, medication, and crate schedules perfectly. You can expect frequent photo updates, quick responses, and a highly structured, secure environment for your furry family member. I work from home every day. My schedule is very friendly for me to interact with and care for the furry friends. I don’t like to leave the dogs alone at home, even for my own dog. I have a large fence yard for your dog to go out and get outdoor play time. I also have a 2 years old miniature sheepadoodle who loves to run and play. Her name is Lulu, and she will keep your dog good company.
“Alexis took great care of my Golden Retriever. She sent lots of updates and was flexible on schedule for pick up/ drop off. Will definitely use her again in the future”

“Derek and his family took excellent care of our anxious, recently rescued Gouda for 5 days. They sent daily updates about how she was adjusting and several photos of her. Great communicators who respond quickly. I was never once worried about Gouda’s safety or wellbeing. She came back clean and happy! Highly recommend.”

“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!”
