“Absolutely Fantastic. Amanda takes excellent care of your pooch and ensures they are well cared for, walked and played with. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs.”
“I left my 5 year old maltipoo for a 4 night stay with Clairece and I cannot say enough about her, from her *Terrific, prompt communications, to her *Friendly, kind approach, to her *Excellent, detailed check-ins throughout the day, which she initiated; complete with pictures and updates with several bery happy looking walks and even couch time. I especially appreciated *How much Clairece cared and loved on my pup! It was 4th of July weekend, so I anticipated my pup to be nervous. Chauncey can already be a bit fidgity and clingy to his person. No problems though! He obviously fell for Clairece😍, as every photo showed a big grin across his face and that told the whole story! Also, when Chauncey wasnt really eating his food because of separation from me, Clairece quickly pivoted to giving him fresh food with my approval. I could not have been happier with this whole experience. Will 100% use Clairece's services again! Im sure Chauncey cant wait to go back!”
“Mel is the best! Evie loves spending time with her, her family, and all of the furry friends that spend time with them. I never doubt that my pup is being well taken care of and I love to see her tail-wagging and smiling!”
About: I’m a proud toy poodle mom of two, so caring for small dogs is part of my everyday life. Dogs are very special to me, especially as a deaf person—I rely on body language and visual awareness, which makes me extremely observant and attentive to a dog’s needs, behavior, and safety. What sets me apart is my patience, calm energy, and strong understanding of how dogs communicate without words. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds, shy dogs, and dogs who need gentle care. I work alongside my mom in her home childcare business, which is located right next to my house. Because of this, I am home most of the day and nearby at all times. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision. Pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods. They become part of our calm, structured daily routine and receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised home environment. I closely monitor body language and behavior to ensure every dog feels safe and relaxed. I follow feeding schedules, give regular potty breaks, and keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. Your pet will be treated with love and care, just like my own two toy poodles.
“Nadine took excellent care of our dog Gus while we were on vacation. Her home and backyard are the perfect setup for all dogs. She sent us lots of pictures and is a true animal lover! Will definitely be contacting her the next time we go out of town!”
“Tania is both flexible and great! She stepped in when a prescheduled sitter proved to be unreliable. She took great care of Tobi and sent frequent photos/updates. She communicates well and was very helpful when scheduling drop and pick up. Highly recommended!”
“We loved Veronica! As this was our first time leaving our fur baby with someone she made us very comfortable. She was quick to communicate and sent us updates. So thankful for her service!”
“Thank you so much to Sandra and her family for the wonderful care and love they gave to our boy, Dodger. She was wonderful at communicating with me and keeping me updated. It truly gave me comfort and peace of mind that he was in great hands. We look forward to booking with Sandra again on our next family trip out of town. We know Dodger had the best time under her care. Thank you again Sandra and family! 💙💙💙💙”
“I think Mucci loved staying at Alex’s home! He got to play with his other furry friends! I appreciate how Alex always updates me esp with photos. Will definitely book again when i need a sitter :) thank you again!!”
“I would not hesitate to recommend Arianna to anyone considering her to take care of their fur babies. She is amazing, she communicates, cared for my Gio and Boba as if there were her own, sent pictures and videos. They spent 5 happy days with Arianna with amazing care and love! I will be a repeat client with Arianna anytime I need boarding. This home environment with a family was so much nicer than a kennel. I was at peace the entire time on my trip knowing Gio & Boba were in her excellent care. Thank you Arianna! Love from Gio & Boba too!”
“Brittany and her family have watched our pup 3 times now, both overnight and just for the day, and we’ve been very happy with her care! Our dog is excited to see her when we drop her off, and always seems happy and well taken care of when we pick her up. Brittany is super considerate of the nuances our dog is used to, and is very easy going. We appreciate her so much!”
“Laurel was just the kind of sitter we needed! I am new to town and needed to travel for work. She met with me and Oliver within a day and I felt assured he’d be in great hands. Her home is comfortable and clean, with a great yard for the dogs. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.

“This was our first time booking with Carola and we had a great experience. Our little Dukey boy loved his stay and hanging out with her pups, Killer and Prince.

Highly recommend Carola for your pet's boarding needs!”

“Words cannot express how amazing Erica was to my little cat Calvin!!! She took great care of him, kept me informed and went above and beyond to show my super shy cat some love! She is definitely going to be my go-to sitter and gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Definitely would recommend!!”

About: I worked as a professional dog walker and sitter in San Francisco in 2019. As a huge dog lover, this was a dream come true! I worked for a local company, Citizen Hound, and fell in love with every aspect of the job (and every pup!). I was responsible for two packs of 6-8 dogs who I would pick up/drop off and take for one hour walks every day. Typically these walks would be off leash, at the beach or a park, so I went through extensive training to receive my walking permit. Having grown up with dogs of my own, I understand that dogs are owner's babies, making sure to treat each dog as if they were my own! I sat many of the dogs in my packs as well as other dogs in the company that year. I have been volunteering at animal shelters for the past 7 years and therefore have experience walking a variety of dogs. I have sat blind and sick dogs, so I am comfortable with medications as well as other special needs (eye drops, IBS, separation anxiety, etc). When sitting, I love to take dogs on hikes or even to the dog park, with owners permission, to make sure they are getting exercise. I always update owners frequently and send lot of pictures! I miss all of the dogs from my packs and am looking to create new connections with both dogs and owners here in Sacramento. I would prefer to have regular clients, however I am also open to one time walks/sits. Although I am just getting started on Rover in the area, I highly encourage you to look up reviews for Citizen Hound to see the standard of care I expect of myself (: I’m currently enrolled in an online master’s program and am self employed, so my schedule is very open and flexible! I would especially love to help out during the late morning and early afternoon hours while owners are at work/school. My apartment is unfortunately not pet friendly, however I have experience pet sitting in owner’s homes. I have found this to be especially beneficial for dogs who like to stick to their regular routine and surroundings. I love taking dogs on adventures during our sits, with owner permission, and make sure to send frequent updates and photos!
About: I've been caring for cats for over 10 years, starting with my own cat, Oliver, who I've raised since he was a kitten and is now 10 years old. Since then, I've cared for cats and other pets for family and friends, gaining experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, feeding specialized diets, cleaning litter boxes, and providing plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every cat is unique, and I take the time to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
About: I have worked as an Animal control officer. Where I have helped thousands of cats and kittens in every kind of situation. I left that job to become a certified wildlife rehabber. Licensed with California Fish and Wildlife and US Fish and Wildlife. I a volunteer at Critter Creek Wildlife Station where there I care for Bobcats and Mountain Lions. I can ensure you that I am prepared to care for any and all animals you may need help with.
About: I give cats their space and can find a toy to get their attention. The importance of cleanliness and having a clean litter box is super important for cats and their staff. I also ensure they have have clean water and will pay attention if they are consuming enough water for kidney health. Also, the stinkier the food, the better they enjoy!
“Madison is the most wonderful pet sitter EVER!!! The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job. We were gone for two weeks and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my dog and cat. The loving care was outstanding & gave us peace of mind we were on vacation. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I also worked at a doggy day care so I know how to handle many different types of situations with high energy and/or aggressive breeds. I’m currently in college and doing online classes so trying to make extra money while being able to do something I love and be able to create my own schedule. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a very respectful golden retriever who grew up around an elderly dog. He loves to play and I am able to walk multiple dogs at once and my home has lots of space to play and stretch their legs.
“Kristina is a great pet sitter! She is amazing with cats and even had our skittish boy coming out to say hello. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitters.”
“Macee did a wonderful job checking in on my cats while we were out of town for an extended period of time. One cat had a healing cut that I was worried about being unmonitored for so long. Macee was a great communicator before, during, and after her check in and sent numerous pictures to ensure that we were happy with her work and if she needed to do anything more while we were away. I will definitely be using her again in the future and will recommend her to anyone in the area!”

About: Im very good with animals and tending for their needs. When my friends ask for my help I happily agree whether its picking up after them, giving baths, taking them on walks or just playing. I've volunteered at the bark for life in Exeter and helped run the booth, which made me realize how fun it was to see dogs and do something fun with them for a good cause. I really love animals so I always want to do the best, to take care of them as well as make sure they are happy and healthy no matter how big or small. I also have Experience house sitting families dogs. The longest I've house sat for a family friend was around 6 months. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to care of your pets! My schedule is very flex able and I'd love to work around your schedule. Before anything I like to gain the trust of the dog to make sure they feel safe and comfortable with me. I haven taken care of a family dog that had anxiety meeting new people, so I implemented special techniques ( such as having my back faced away from the dog and giving them a treat) being very patient and friendly is how I make sure they feel safe.

My home is very welcoming to pets.
“Mel was incredibly kind! Runie is usually super cautious with new people and won’t let them near her at first, but she had no issues letting Mel and her husband pet her right away. We were so nervous to leave her with someone new for the first time, but the experience couldn’t have gone better. Thank you!”

I love getting to play with them and go on walks.

I have always loved animals and am so thankful that I not only get to enjoy my dog but others as wellz I currently work from home and I am home most of the time. I walk my dog in the morning and once in the evening. We play throughout the day in the backyard. I feed, walk, play, brush, cuddle, pet, play, and love your pet like my own.

About: I have always been around pets. I have two dogs of my own. When family members go on vacation I will take care of their dogs. I have took their dogs to go outside use the restroom, feed them, walk them. I bathe my own pets, feed, and walk them as well. My pets are trained to be inside and outside. I currently work two pet time jobs that I set my own schedule for. I typically am free in the mornings and in the evenings. I have a fenced back yard. My back yard is split into sections so I can easily keep my dogs away from other dogs I care for if the owner is uncomfortable. I have plenty of room in my house for a crate or puppy pads and more. My home is very welcoming to pets.
About: I've had pets my entire life, I'm a dog lover! I currently have 2 dogs named max and Tyson, as well as 2 turtles and a mouse. I work from home and I'm able to leave pretty much all day. I'm available as early as 8 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. and can walk anywhere in Porterville. I have a fenced back yard with an additional fence that separates the yard into two parts. My dogs typically stay on the left side.
About: I have had 3 dogs in the past that I love dearly, I enjoy going on walks with them and I love playing as well. I am currently not working and just taking a summer art class for college. I am free almost every day of the week and any time. Having a fence yard, a good neighborhood to walk around and friendly pets would be great. A good schedule for the times and how much food to give them would be great as well
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs since I was 12 and now I’m 18. I have a big dog of my own that’s playful and loving. I love all dogs and cats because they’re so sweet and caring and give unconditional love. I currently work part-time at McDonald’s so my schedule could be a bit mixed up but on my free time I would love to spend time with pets! I can’t take care of pets in my home because I have no yard. However I would be a great dog walker/babysitter in your lovely pets home!
About: I have doggie sat for my grandma over the years and have raised a litter of Mc Nab puppies and trained them before selling them. I live on a farm so I’ve had experience with a lot of different animals my entire life. I have experience with stray animals who have been abused or neglected that do not trust humans. I’m very patient and kind with all animals. I am currently in college so I’ll have time every day of the week to take care of and play with dogs. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I have two very friendly dogs to keep your dog company if needed. I have two different kennel areas to allow dogs that need to be kept in an fenced area stay in.
About: Hello I'm Karly! I've always had love for animals. I've had different kinds of pets growing up including cats, dogs, turtles, chickens and other birds, you name it. 🙂 Ive worked at an animal hospital for two years and at a zoo so I have great experience with restraining dogs and cats of all sizes as well. I'm available to take care or walk your pup Mondays and Tuesday mornings until noon and Wednesday through Sundays anytime from 8 to 6pm. Let me know what works best. I will always provide a safe environment for your pet. I will ensure they have the gear they need when going on a walk and bring whatever necessary items they use whether it's water, treats, a toy and waste bags.
About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs and puppies since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs.

I’ve helped neighbors and several family members with everything from basic needs to more specialized care, including feeding prescription medicine, regular bathing, and grooming. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I’m dedicated to providing the love and attention your pet deserves!

About: There have been all kinds of animals in my life since I was a child. I am currently studying to work with animals and would love to take care of your best friend!! I am currently a student at Porterville College, but I still have some free time that I would love to spend with your furry family members. I will not be providing in-home boarding as I have too many pets that don't work well with others. But I am happy to visit your home daily to check in on your pets.
“Madison was a joy to work with! She was responsive to all our communications and adjusted the walking schedule according to our local weather.

“Absolutely Fantastic. Amanda takes excellent care of your pooch and ensures they are well cared for, walked and played with. I highly recommend her for your boarding needs.”
“I left my 5 year old maltipoo for a 4 night stay with Clairece and I cannot say enough about her, from her *Terrific, prompt communications, to her *Friendly, kind approach, to her *Excellent, detailed check-ins throughout the day, which she initiated; complete with pictures and updates with several bery happy looking walks and even couch time. I especially appreciated *How much Clairece cared and loved on my pup! It was 4th of July weekend, so I anticipated my pup to be nervous. Chauncey can already be a bit fidgity and clingy to his person. No problems though! He obviously fell for Clairece😍, as every photo showed a big grin across his face and that told the whole story! Also, when Chauncey wasnt really eating his food because of separation from me, Clairece quickly pivoted to giving him fresh food with my approval. I could not have been happier with this whole experience. Will 100% use Clairece's services again! Im sure Chauncey cant wait to go back!”
“Mel is the best! Evie loves spending time with her, her family, and all of the furry friends that spend time with them. I never doubt that my pup is being well taken care of and I love to see her tail-wagging and smiling!”
About: I’m a proud toy poodle mom of two, so caring for small dogs is part of my everyday life. Dogs are very special to me, especially as a deaf person—I rely on body language and visual awareness, which makes me extremely observant and attentive to a dog’s needs, behavior, and safety. What sets me apart is my patience, calm energy, and strong understanding of how dogs communicate without words. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds, shy dogs, and dogs who need gentle care. I work alongside my mom in her home childcare business, which is located right next to my house. Because of this, I am home most of the day and nearby at all times. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision. Pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods. They become part of our calm, structured daily routine and receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised home environment. I closely monitor body language and behavior to ensure every dog feels safe and relaxed. I follow feeding schedules, give regular potty breaks, and keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. Your pet will be treated with love and care, just like my own two toy poodles.
“Tania is both flexible and great! She stepped in when a prescheduled sitter proved to be unreliable. She took great care of Tobi and sent frequent photos/updates. She communicates well and was very helpful when scheduling drop and pick up. Highly recommended!”
“We loved Veronica! As this was our first time leaving our fur baby with someone she made us very comfortable. She was quick to communicate and sent us updates. So thankful for her service!”
“Thank you so much to Sandra and her family for the wonderful care and love they gave to our boy, Dodger. She was wonderful at communicating with me and keeping me updated. It truly gave me comfort and peace of mind that he was in great hands. We look forward to booking with Sandra again on our next family trip out of town. We know Dodger had the best time under her care. Thank you again Sandra and family! 💙💙💙💙”
“Brittany and her family have watched our pup 3 times now, both overnight and just for the day, and we’ve been very happy with her care! Our dog is excited to see her when we drop her off, and always seems happy and well taken care of when we pick her up. Brittany is super considerate of the nuances our dog is used to, and is very easy going. We appreciate her so much!”

“This was our first time booking with Carola and we had a great experience. Our little Dukey boy loved his stay and hanging out with her pups, Killer and Prince. Duke almost didn't want to come home! 😂 I didn't have phone connection during my time away and she still sent daily updates with pictures, even though I didn't respond. Highly recommend Carola for your pet's boarding needs!”
About: Working remotely I give your pets the care and love that they deserve. More hugs! More walks! More love! More safety! In rural vt I cared for small and large homes, and medium to larger dogs. Active pets I am active. Older pets and I respite with them more. Every animal has a different personality and different needs. I care. They seem to know. lol. On a side note I volunteer with a local animal shelter and a food bank. I try to make a difference where I can. Growing up we had family dogs. It taught me how amazing animals are. I now have time to give them kindness and love as you would... When I stay in your home your pets have less stress and anxiety in a familiar place. In my home or yours, I take pets for walks and caring play time throughout my workday. This care and attention and play reduces stress and your pet may be more relaxed coming home like after a day at the spa. Yup. :-) Working from my home or yours means more care for your loved family member (aka pets)!
“Ashley is great! She’s very good at communicating while she’s in the care of our fur baby! I genuinely feel that Bailey was happy and felt at home. I will definitely book with her in the future! Thank you Ashley!”
“Gail was a pleasure to work with! She is just a sweetheart and makes you feel totally comfortable to leave your loved one with her. She sent us pictures throughout the whole stay with her and updated us on how our mini poodle is feeling the entire time. She was easy to communicate with as well when booking and coordinating the drop off and pick up. Would totally recommend anyone to use her.”
“My husband & I left our two dogs with Juliann for a week! She was absolutely amazing! Her communication was incredible, my dogs adored her, and she had an outing with my dogs everyday! She went above and beyond. She loved on our dogs and did the best job! I highly recommend Juliann for any dog services you may need!”
“Anissa was absolutely the best! She made sure to keep me updated with pictures and messages, this was our first time having him at a sitters house. We will definitely be having her as a sitter for when we need. Thank you Anissa your awesome!”
“I highly recommend Laura. She took care of my goldendoodle Beau for a week and did an amazing job.

Thank you for your wonderful service! I’ll definitely be booking again!”
