“I was so nervous to fly across the world and leave my 2 cats in the care of a stranger for the first time, but I'm so glad I found Erin! She was so great with all the updates, pictures, was at my house every day at nearly the same time, my normally nervous girls opened right up to her, and I was at ease from the get go. Next time I'm out of town I'll be sure to book with Erin!”

“Payton did an incredible job caring for our dog, Akira! She was extremely patient, friendly, and kept great communication throughout every home visit. Even though Akira was a little guarded at first, Payton stayed calm and gently earned her trust—something I truly appreciated. I loved reading through her detailed Rover cards and looking through the pics she sent after each visit. I highly recommend booking Payton to care for your furry family members!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Kasey and Elizabeth! From the moment we connected, they were professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with animals. They took excellent care of Sunday, Ditty, and Peach, following all instructions carefully and even going above and beyond with extra playtime, updates, and photos while we were away. Our pets looked happy and well-cared for when we returned, and our home was just as we left it. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”


“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”

I am available for boarding, doggy day care, drop ins Several walks for day, lots of time for cuddles, play time or just enjoying the backyard. My dogs are indoor dogs so yours would be too.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.
About: I’ve spent years around all kinds of dogs—big, small, playful, shy—you name it! I’ve also helped out with cat sitting for an elderly neighbor, so I’m used to different pet personalities and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cleanup, I’m on it. I really care about making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to make them feel like they’re hanging out with a new friend, not just a sitter. Right now, I’m not working and I’m off from school for the summer, which means I’ve got a super flexible schedule. Whether you need someone in the morning, afternoon, or evening—I’m available whenever your pet needs me! When I’m in your home, my goal is to keep things calm, clean, and comfy for your pet. I’m happy to tidy up (with your permission), make sure your furry friend has a cozy spot to relax, and of course, take care of any walks, bathroom breaks, or cleanup. I want your pet to feel totally at ease in their own space while you’re away.

About: I currently reside in Sacramento, CA with a dog and a cat of my own and I would love to meet yours! In the past, I volunteered at the local animal shelter as a canine companion where I took the dogs out for exercise and helped socialize them. It was definitely a very rewarding experience and I would love to work with and care for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets! Most of my availability is on weekdays but I also have some weekends available to care for your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve. I respect house rules and follow all pet instructions. I ensure all pets are happy, healthy, and safe during visits and help them feel extra loved while their family is away.
About: 🐶 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve cared for all kinds of furry (and not-so-furry!) friends—from big doggies like Akitas and Labradors to tiny pups like Yorkies and Malteses, plus rabbits, hamsters, squirrels, birds, turtles, and even snakes. I’ve been there for puppies just born, mamas during pregnancy and delivery, little ones nursing and growing up, playful adults, and sweet seniors. No matter what stage of life your fur baby is in, you can trust that I’ll love and care for them as if they were part of my own family. 🐾 Right now I live with five little pups under 8 lbs, and they absolutely love making new friends. They have free roam of the house all day, with pet stairs to help them hop onto the couch. 🌻Currently, I work from home, I’m around all day to keep them company. I provide potty breaks every 2-4 hours and gentle paw wipes after each. I serve meals right on schedule, and in the afternoons I like to prepare a bit of fresh food (if you’re okay with it). Before bed, we do nightly tooth brushing, and every Saturday we head to the dog park for some playtime. You’ll get daily photos and videos so you can always feel close to your fur baby. 💉 I only host healthy pets with up-to-date vaccinations, and no sick pets. I maintain a clean and safe space, and follow each owner’s instructions closely.
About: I have had cats practically my whole life. Pet sit for friends when they are out of town. Dog walks up to 3 miles or more. Feed them and will give them medications if needed. I believe animals have good instincts they will either like you or not. Most times they pick you :) My schedule is flexible but am a early bird at heart. I would visit early mornings / mid mornings most likley. If I am pet sitting a dog morning walks are great for me. Excercise for both of us. I like to spend time with the animal prior to pet sitting if possible for comfort. I am punctual and dependable. Most important the animal feel loved and safe when their mom/ dad are gone. Animals have good instincts :) No issues with giving medication.
