“This girl is awesome 👏🏽 She’s kind, knowledgeable, & the best dog whisperer;). Her pup Bowie is so cool too & loves to play; he’s such a smart boy and well behaved & I believe he genuinely loves to host other pups at his home as much as Nicole does! Extra tip too, Bowie is also excellent with cats 🐈 Highly recommended!”
“This was Rosie’s first time being boarded and she seemed very happy. Kelsey’s family was so good to her and I loved getting pictures of her, I have already booked another stay and now know I can plan some trips and leave Rosie in a loving home!”
“Sade was great, Rickie Boobie is a handful with tons of puppy energy, she connected with him right away, let him get acclimated. Everyday she sent me pictures and text reassuring me he was being a good boy . It was our first time and I am grateful for Sade, her husband and son for making Rickie Boobie welcome and loved. We will be contacting Sade again very soon.”
“Irvine and Susan took great care of my fur baby. Great home and yard for my Yorkie. Kept me updated and flexible when we were delayed coming back. Would recommend to friends and family.”
“5/5! Achara had great communication and she was amazing with my puppy! My puppy didn't even look back at me when I dropped him off 🫠 Photo updates made me feel at ease and she reassured me that he was doing well. Will definitely rebook with her when I need a sitter again!”
“My dog is aging and becoming physically frailer such that I’ve become much more picky about who I leave him with. Cedric is clearly kind and patient, manages his dogs and home in a safe manner, and sent plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease. Will be sending my old man to spend time with him again.”
“Alesya, it's a fantastic discovery for our family. Our one-year-old Maltese Snowie has a great time staying with her and her family. I felt great when I met her! She is a lovely, responsible person. She also sends me daily reports, videos, and pictures of our little girl while she watches her. We definitely will book her again and refer her to our friends 🥰”
“Melissa was very patient and flexible with my dog and with our booking. I had to shorten the time which she was understandable about. I also learned my dog was a bit out of sorts on his first night and she was patient with him and sent lots of reassuring pictures and videos😊”
“Wen is amazing caretaker. I felt happy and at ease with having my cats with her. She made sure they were comfortable, loved, well fed and happy in their stay. Definitely getting her again in the future. Recommend to any pet parent.”
“Thanks for the updates and photos! My dog enjoyed the yard time, and the sitter was very flexible with pick-up and drop-off. Would recommend for attentive care.”
“Jackie made our first stay with her so seamless and easy ! From the Meet-And-Greet to the week long vacay, our doggies were so ecstatic to meet her and already were so comforted by her. While we were gone, Jackie kept us updated with lots of photos and positive reassurance that our dogs were cared for and well taken care of! We are already booking her for our next trip (and many more!)”
“Destiny is kind and caring, and Bozeman was so happy when he came back from his stay with her! She sent us several photo updates every day (which we loved), and he came back to us cleaner than he left. She even gave us a little pack of doggie bags to tie on to his leash! We would absolutely let Destiny take him again!”
“Doh was great with boarding my dog who occasionally has issues with other dogs. She was able to play in her own separated yard. Doh was also willing to accept her last minute for a holiday. We will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“My Australian Shepherds have stayed with Grant numerous times over the past several years. The dogs love to run and play on Grant's beautiful property. Grant is an excellent communicator and provides regular updates on the pups throughout their stay. I highly recommend Grant to care for your dog.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“Jennifer and family were great!! I think they went above and beyond to care for our dog Chewie while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. I would highly recommend her and will book her again when needed!! Thanks Jennifer💕”
“This is the second time we used Erin, and once again nothing but the best care! My pups were comfortable, and we love the updates with lots of pictures! Highly recommend Erin to anyone”
“Andrew and his family were great with our very anxious doodle. It was reassuring to get updates and photos of our dog while he was watching him. We will be rebooking again in the near future.”

“Adrienne was fantastic with our cats, while we went away. She took great care of them and was extremely reliable and responsive.

About: I’ve spent many years caring for cats of all personalities, from shy kittens to independent seniors. I love spending time with cats and giving them the preferred attention. What sets me apart from others my attention to the little things that make them comfortable. I’m experienced in administering medications when needed, and I don’t mind getting my hands dirty to keep litter boxes fresh and clean because I know how important a clean space is for a happy cat. I’m patient, observant, and always ready to give each cat the individual care and affection they deserve.
“Christina provided excellent care for our cat while we were on a two week vacation. She left our home in impeccable condition and even put fresh sheets on our bed. She communicated clearly and regularly. She sent pictures of our fur baby while we were away because she knew that we missed him. We highly recommend Christina.”
About: I’ve taken care of any kind of animal you can name. I’ve worked/volunteered at recuses, breeders, vet offices, and my family has raised and raced standardbred horses since I was born. I also pet/house sit often. I know cpr/first aid for both dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also been approved for my 501(c)3 non for profit animal rescue license and I’m working towards starting my own animal rescue center. I work part time and I’m going to school to become a phlebotomist. I currently care for my rabbit, cat, 20 chickens, three peacocks, great dane, and five horses. So hard work is not new to me! As someone who leaves things better than I find them, your house, pets, and privacy are are my number one priority. You won’t have to worry about the safety of your pets, state of your home, or any medication/special needs your pet(s) may have or need!
“Lez did a wonderful job cat and house sitting while we were out of town for the week. There was easy communication via text while we were away. Our senior cat enjoyed her company and care. We returned to a well kept home and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Lez’s services again.”
“Marina was incredibly kind and attentive to my 3 cats and was great with my kitten who needed extra love and antibiotics. I would 100% recommend booking her and will definitely book her next time I need a sitter!”
“Rebekka was on time, took care to check on all animals and gave them each some love. She communicated any issues clearly and sought out the best remedy for issues with broken dog cable, etc. Super responsible. We will definitely use her again.”
“Mooney was the best sitter we have had using this app by far. 100% he will be my first request when we need a sitter for my cat, “Dice” in the future. Dice can be a bit catty (pun intended) but I could tell by the amazing pictures he sent us everyday and how Dice looked and acted when we came home that she was well cared for. The house was spotless and all that I asked was done by Mooney. Thank you so much, you very much made our extended vacation that much more enjoyable.”

They are walked and played with daily, and are feed twice a day. For a clients home I will follow every request the client has for there pet without question.
About: I think that cats just might be humans in a little furry disguises. Cats talk to you all day long with their body language. Clearly they will let you know what they want, when they want it and also what they don’t want. Ever have a cat look at you and walk away, L O L. Boss move.
About: I have personal experience with small and big dogs. Puppies and elderly dogs. Indoor and outdoor cat. Cats that like to hide, cats that have disabilities. I have 2 dogs. Patty, a 17yo toy poodle shitshu mix. Nordic, 5yo husky german shepherd mix. I've raised Nordic since a puppy giving me lots of experience with high energy large dogs. I also have 2 outdoor cats.

Ive house/pet sit for multiple family friends giving me experience with elderly/ end of life pet care. Have no problem cleaning up accidents. Aswell as experience with homes with large amounts of pets needing different dietary needs. Ive cared for homes with 6 cats, and homes with 5 dogs. I am detail oriented, and follow directions. I also have have worked as a bather at an award winning Carmichael Pet Salon. I can give pet bathes, cut and grind nails, do gland expression and give full brush outs. I have a very flexible schedule, I am a stay home mother. And dad works from home. So I'm almost always available to help, and happy to do so! My cats got used to being outdoor because that's how my father choose to raise them. They have a set up in our garage with heating pads and dinning area. And come inside during the day when they want. My elderly dog usually sleeps by my feet or with my dad. And we make sure she's indoors as much as possible. My husky loves to be near my babies he can usually be found outside their door or sunbathing in the backyard. He's off leash trained when appropriate for him to be off leash.

I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I am patient, gentle, and attentive to their individual needs. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their routine, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable.

“Jacqueline set up a meet and greet right away to make sure Mack was a good fit before taking him in, which was a great sign that she is experienced. Rating of 5 stars due to her taking him in last minute when we really needed a sitter to help till he's fully vaccinated. Also, our first day for pick up we were 10 minutes late due to unforeseen traffic issue coming from Ranch Cordova and she was totally understanding. Puppies are a heavy lift, requiring a lot of personalized care. Jacqueline's kindness and flexibility were greatly appreciated!”
“Very satisfied with Dan and his care for my Daisy. I left food for her but none was given. Just one water break. At home she drinks a lot of water and is fed twice a day. So I am puzzled! Dan is a great host and provides great care. I will be using his services in the future!”
“Highly recommend Justin and Vanessa! They send plenty of update pics throughout the day. They get plenty of walks and clearly getting plenty of attention and care. The pups agree, they are always happy when I pick them up. Always ready and accommodating for my early drop offs, ready at the gate for pick up and drop off.”
“Great communication, including with a last minute booking. Daman is very friendly and clearly a dog lover. I felt at ease leaving our little guy with her for the day. Sure sent pics throughout and made pickup/drop off a breeze. Looking forward to working with her again!”
“Wonderful experience! My dog was in great hands. The sitter was responsible, attentive, and very caring. They kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell my pup felt safe and happy the whole time. Communication was easy and smooth, and it’s clear they truly love animals. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again.”
About: I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else. Whether you're traveling for work, taking a vacation, or simply need help during a busy week, you're trusting someone to care for a member of your family. I understand that responsibility, and I never take it for granted. I specialize in House Sitting, Pet Boarding, and Dog Walking, providing personalized care that's tailored to each pet's unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, a curious kitten, or a senior companion who enjoys a slower pace, I take the time to understand what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and secure. I welcome pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including cats. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I tailor my care to meet each pet's individual personality and routine. I also have extensive experience administering oral medications and carefully following detailed care instructions, so you can feel confident your pet's health and well-being are always my priority. I don't see pets as another booking on my calendar. I see them as family members who deserve patience, kindness, attention, and genuine affection. Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood while their family is away. My goal isn't simply to care for your pet. It's to earn your trust and become someone you can rely on whenever you need dependable, compassionate pet care. Because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Your pet will receive plenty of companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. My flexible schedule allows me to provide regular potty breaks, meals, medications, walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention based on your pet's normal routine. I know consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do everything I can to make their day feel familiar, comfortable, and stress-free. Communication is just as important to me as the care I provide. When you book with me, you can expect: • Daily updates so you always know how your pet is doing. • Plenty of photos and videos so you can enjoy the little moments you'll miss. • Prompt, reliable communication whenever you have questions. • Honest updates about meals, walks, playtime, naps, medications, and your pet's overall well-being. My goal is for you to relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the same love and attention they're accustomed to at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. My home is designed with pets in mind. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, along with several nearby parks and scenic walking trails that are perfect for daily walks, exercise, and outdoor adventures. Whether your pet enjoys an energetic game of fetch, exploring new scents, or a leisurely stroll, I'll make sure they get the activity, enrichment, and one-on-one attention they need. During every visit or stay, your pet receives much more than the basics. They'll enjoy companionship, playtime, enrichment, exercise, affection, and plenty of individualized attention. Whether they love chasing a ball, exploring the neighborhood, curling up on the couch, or simply relaxing beside someone they trust, I'll make sure their days are filled with comfort, fun, and genuine care. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll carefully follow their established routine, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, favorite activities, bedtime routines, and any special instructions you provide. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I give your pet. Above all, I want every pet to feel loved, every home to be respected, and every pet owner to feel confident they made the right choice. I'd love to schedule a Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, answer any questions you may have, and make sure we're the perfect fit. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member with the love, care, and attention they deserve.
“Olivia was great! I highly recommend her! We had a funeral to attend in the Yuba City area and our dog sitter wasn't available..Olivia agreed to watch Bandit with 1 days notice. She sent pictures & gave us updates throughout the afternoon. You could tell she loves dogs! We will definitely use her services again if we ever have a need again for a sitter in that area of California!”
“Sade responded very quick on a Saturday night for a Sunday morning booking. My shy pup was well taken care , safe and sound! Sade updated me with photos of her settling in throughout the day. Sade and her family are a responsible, loving pet haven. We will be back!”

I am retired and looking to fill my time with love and cuddles. I have always enjoyed caring for the variety of animals I have and have had. I love learning all the cute special quirks and loves of every animal I interact with. I am very respectful of other people's space and items - my focus is on the animals in my charge. I can feed, walk, play and generally be a companion to any animal. I also respect the home and treat it even better than my own, ensuring that I leave the home as I found it.
About: I've had pets or animals in my life since I was 7. As a young boy it was my chore to take care of the animals and to make sure they had what they need. I also have been taught how to know if an animal.is sick, or even just frightened. My wife was a dog groomer before her current job and knows more about dogs than she knows about herself. We have 10 egg laying hens, one turkey hen, 4 mini pigs, 2 guinea pigs , 20 baby chicks and 5 baby turkeys. We are not limited to just dogs and cats! We will be happy to help with all your furry (or feathery, or scaly) babies! We love to help out on small farms and will not hesitate to go into a pen with any animal to feed or water it. FOLLOW THE LINK TO GET $20 OFF or Enter promo code: JUSTIM65949, https://www.rover.com/sit/justim65949 We have a set schedule in our house 9 am and 4:30 pm is feeding time so that the animals have a chance to get more than they need. I am currently a stay at home dad so I have a lot spare time to make sure your pets are well taken care of. Making sure that they are well fed, clean and have the ability to exercise not only their bodies but their minds and their souls. Relaxing. We try to convey a positive energy towards our boards helping them to feel at home. We are also well versed in training dogs to help them rid themselves of anxiety. My pets have always loved to play with some type of toy, so we make sure they have access to what they may want. We also like to play fetch or just play with the ball. We test it first but some dogs like to play in the water.
“Danielle is amazing! She came over to meet us and our pups before we booked her to answer any questions we had and to ask any she had. She is so flexible and worked with us and our crazy schedule. My pups love her, she is great with them and sends updates and pictures each visit. I am so happy we found her to check on our pups/take them for a walk a couple times a day. I would absolutely recommend Danielle to anybody and will always book her for our pet needs.”

About: I have personal experience with small and big dogs. Puppies and elderly dogs. Indoor and outdoor cat. Cats that like to hide, cats that have disabilities. I have 2 dogs. Patty, a 17yo toy poodle shitshu mix. Nordic, 5yo husky german shepherd mix. I've raised Nordic since a puppy giving me lots of experience with high energy large dogs. I also have 2 outdoor cats. I helped my cat give birth to kittens, and took care of the kittens til they were old enough to go to thier forever homes. Ive house/pet sit for multiple family friends giving me experience with elderly/ end of life pet care. Have no problem cleaning up accidents. Aswell as experience with homes with large amounts of pets needing different dietary needs. Ive cared for homes with 6 cats, and homes with 5 dogs. I am detail oriented, and follow directions. I also have have worked as a bather at an award winning Carmichael Pet Salon. I can give pet bathes, cut and grind nails, do gland expression and give full brush outs. I have a very flexible schedule, I am a stay home mother. And dad works from home. So I'm almost always available to help, and happy to do so! My cats got used to being outdoor because that's how my father choose to raise them. They have a set up in our garage with heating pads and dinning area. And come inside during the day when they want. My elderly dog usually sleeps by my feet or with my dad. And we make sure she's indoors as much as possible. My husky loves to be near my babies he can usually be found outside their door or sunbathing in the backyard. He's off leash trained when appropriate for him to be off leash. He walks with me to get the mail, or hang out front with his family. I'm very big on treating animals how their owner does. Keeping routines. I have experience with crating from when my Husky was a puppy. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through owning and looking after two of my own. I understand the importance of providing regular exercise, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also volunteered at FieldHaven for five months, where I cared for cats and gained experience meeting the needs of animals in a safe and compassionate environment. I genuinely enjoy connecting with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently not working so I have a pretty flexible schedule and I am basically free whenever. Walking animals fits perfectly into my routine because I enjoy going on walks myself so why not take a furry friend along with me 🤗. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to help them feel happy and secure.

“This girl is awesome 👏🏽 She’s kind, knowledgeable, & the best dog whisperer;). Her pup Bowie is so cool too & loves to play; he’s such a smart boy and well behaved & I believe he genuinely loves to host other pups at his home as much as Nicole does! Extra tip too, Bowie is also excellent with cats 🐈 Highly recommended!”
“This was Rosie’s first time being boarded and she seemed very happy. Kelsey’s family was so good to her and I loved getting pictures of her, I have already booked another stay and now know I can plan some trips and leave Rosie in a loving home!”
“5/5! Achara had great communication and she was amazing with my puppy! My puppy didn't even look back at me when I dropped him off 🫠 Photo updates made me feel at ease and she reassured me that he was doing well. Will definitely rebook with her when I need a sitter again!”
“My dog is aging and becoming physically frailer such that I’ve become much more picky about who I leave him with. Cedric is clearly kind and patient, manages his dogs and home in a safe manner, and sent plenty of pictures to put my mind at ease. Will be sending my old man to spend time with him again.”
“Thanks for the updates and photos! My dog enjoyed the yard time, and the sitter was very flexible with pick-up and drop-off. Would recommend for attentive care.”
