About: I lived and worked one year on an Alpaca farm caring for them and great Pyranese puppies. I have year and half of volunteering at Sammie friend shelter with the dogs. Friends have paid me to pet sit overnight. I use to have 10 goats. I would milk them and make cheese. Also would do goat packing trips. I joined a traveling horse caravan in gautamala Taken riding and natural horseman lessons. Have trained friends dogs. Been a dog owner of four dogs . I will be doing boarding in my house with younger kids so unfortunately, if you’re a get dog does not get along with kids I cannot have them bored with me at this time. I have my kids part through the week and do massage when it comes up. My schedule is very Flexible and open to find time to go on adventures and walks I care for them by walking and letting them hang with me in the house or backyard. Pets are my equals and deserve as much care as we do.

About: I worked for a professional pet sitting company in Los Angeles, Sitter4Paws, for about a year, where I cared for over 150 clients including both dogs and cats. Through that experience, I learned how to administer medications, handle grooming needs, follow detailed feeding instructions, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and manage behavioral issues like anxiety or aggression. I’m confident with handling pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Aside from my professional experience, I have spent most of my life caring, raising, and training animals. Throughout the years, I have had 7 dogs, 2 cats, 6 rabbits, 2 guinea pigs, and even a mouse. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 guinea pig, so pet care is truly a part of my daily life. My lifelong connection to animals, combined with my hands-on training and experience, allows me to give pets not only proper care, but also the patience and understanding they deserve. My goal is to make every animal I care for feel safe, happy, and truly loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available anytime, any day, for however long you need! I have a completely flexible schedule with no restrictions, and I’m happy to come to you wherever you are. I’m committed to making things as easy and stress free as possible for both you and your pet. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel secure and relaxed. I closely follow any routines or instructions provided, including feeding, walks, medication, and training. I always keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort. Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me, so I provide regular updates and treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m also fully flexible on timing and location, so I can adjust to whatever works best for you and your pet

About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I am an empty nester and would love to care for your four legged family members while you are away. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

“Molly was communicative, flexible and our dog loved her. I contacted Molly the night before I needed a dog walk and she immediately responded in the affirmative and got our details. She sent me updates during both scheduled walks (including pictures that verified that our dog Ava was, indeed, very happy to see her). I would definitely recommend Molly and will book her again the future.”

About: Been a current proud owner of nine goats, four cats and two dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with care for livestock and house pets. I am currently available to provide 24/7 pet care on the weekends. During the week I am working part time at a day care in Nevada City, with shifts consisting from 5 to 8 hours. I typically have Mondays off and am off work by 5:00 or 5:30. Before I relocated, we did lots of walks around our neighborhood with our young shepherd mix and five year old cockapoo. They are always presented many occasions to use the bathroom and spend time outside with us.

“Thank you, Katie, for understanding our rascal from the moment you met, for asking good questions to have a thorough understanding of the job, for bringing your sense of humor to the task, for keeping us informed as your exercised and fed him and especially for giving our pup your undivided attention and love. Who could ask for anything more?”

About: I have a unique background with horses, farm animals, and dogs that want to walk all day in the forest. I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life. I have fostered kittens, boarded cats, and stayed with dogs up to 200 pounds. I am available overnight for weekends, nights, and extended periods between Nevada County and Placer County. I usually stay a week or more with fur babies. You can relax knowing I am keeping the utmost care and safety of your animals and home. I want to clarify during our visit if you need care at the 2-hour, 4-hour, or 6-hour interval beyond the overnight stay of 7 pm to 7am. I am currently available most days and nights due to my online graduate program. Communication is key! I will send daily pictures or updates. For best prevention, talking about the details with the owner and ground rules produces the best results. Topics will include where the pet feels most comfortable such a calm spaces or crating procedures. I make sure to go over emergency contacts and preferred clinics. Also, I keep a clean environment that ensures the safety of pets for food handling.

“Sarah has been awesome with our two dogs, one being a puppy brand new to the house and the other very shy and submissive. I loved the descriptions of her time with them and her fast response time. I would 100% recommend her and will continue to use her.”

“I can’t even begin to explain how thankful I am to have had Secret in my and my dogs life!! I lived in Chico for 4 months and she was invaluable to me! She took my dog for walks when i was at work, stayed with him when i went away, and was always super reliable. There was an incident where my dog needed surgery while i was working and i trusted Secret 110% to be there in my place! I was incredibly sad to have to leave her support and love behind when leaving Chico!”

About: Since high school I have had experience with normal pets to the exotic! I can honestly say that each animal is an individual that deserves their specific needs acknowledged and met. I do have experience with senior animals that need medication as well as special needs, there hasn’t been an experience that I haven’t learned from! I’ve even read books like Caesar’s Way in order to better understand my own pets and help them. I’ve even been known to be a bit of a perfectionist although that was in my earlier years now I can gladly say am a seasoned sitter! Please feel free to reach out to me before booking my care and I will answer any and all questions! Caring for your family member fits into my routine because at the moment I am a dog Mom of one dachshund with a good partner that loves her as much as I do! I also do volunteer work, which is extremely flexible. Aside from that a lot of what I do is online, which works out great when pet care is involved I will care for your family member by noting all of their needs as well as asking any questions I have about the environment if it was not already covered in our introduction. I like to take notes!

About: I’ve always had pets and cared/trained from puppies to disabled elders who need medication. I even produce a local dog parade annually. Must love dogs! I have a flexible schedule making it easy to accommodate others. I have reliable transportation for getting to homes and am in excellent health so no excuse…. I live on 24 acres, some fenced. My cats are indoor/outdoor and are trained to come in at night. They are literbox trained. My dogs stay in the house when we leave and get regular vet care. At your home: caution opening doors, assure leashes attached properly, and yard secure, administer meds according to vet orders. Feed per owner directions (you have them sing for dinner, I will too), refresh water, photograph/video each encounter to share with owner at visit, clean up pet messes, sit on floor and play, make sure home is securely locked when leaving

About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have experience with a wide range of animals and personality types starting from a young age. I have a flexible schedule and can work from anywhere with decent internet, so your animals will benefit from an attentive, experienced carer who goes the extra mile to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats, as well as farm animals. I can work with special medical needs or elderly pets.

“Nate is up for the challenge! We had been on the road for 5 hours and needed someone to walk our dog while we went to an appointment. While two others passed on the extended period, Nate signed up to walk him for 2 hours. He was very professional in the fact that even though most would have brought their own dog to this event, he showed up alone and even provided the transportation to the trail. Dalton returned happy and exercised after their four mile walk! Thanks Nate!”

About: Offering a safe home away from home, compassionate care, and peace of mind for pet owners is something that all pet sitters should be offering. I go far beyond this standard providing both care and training. Since I was a child, dogs and cats have gravitated toward me and I've always enjoyed their companionship; you can almost always find me with at least one dogs around. It's never been an unruly mass of teeth and paws though; I've always taken the time to teach my furry friends to walk on leash, to have immediate recall, to be polite in kitchen, and to use their voices kindly. I do the same with every animal that I am given care of, gently coaching them to be civil, furry companions while showering them with love. I am currently working from home and set my own schedule. I have a set daily morning and evening walk which your pup(s) will join. During the day, you pup(s) will have company of two dogs, three cats and plenty of pets from me. On weekends we go on adventure hikes. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company during the day. I have crates, leashes, grooming tools and home made dog beds for all pet care needs.

“Makenna has been walking and looking after our 2 dogs for the past few months. She responds to messages and changes in schedules promptly. Our schedules are constantly evolving and Makenna stays in constant communication to make sure our dogs receive the care they need. She is great with our puppy and our adult dog, who typically is not very fond of strangers. I highly recommend using Makenna and we have referred her to our friends with dog needs.”

“Alyssa took my two dogs out twice a day for several days in a row while I was out of the country and my husband had his hands full with our kids. Our dogs love Alyssa and I really enjoyed getting her detailed updates and pictures while I was away! I will definitely be using Alyssa again!”

About: I've spent the last 4 years volunteering with Ruff Pack Refuge. RPR specializes with rescuing special needs and elderly dogs. My responsibilities included cleaning kennels, administration of medications, dog walking, fostering dogs, e.t.c. Over the past couple of years I have enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family. I am available all the time I have a very flexible schedule and I am sure we can figure something out via text or call... I have a fenced yard, nice neighborhood to walk around, and a large comfy and soft couch for anyone to lounge around and relax if needed

About: I have owned and cared for pets my entire life. I'm recently retired from a long career as a professional equestrian and horse trainer, and I'm excited to begin this journey of offering pet care services to the community! I have experience with all types and ages of pets ... from very young to very senior. I have experience administering medications, giving injections, and basic first aid. My lifestyle is active, and I'm happy to provide whatever exercise that your pet needs, whether that is a long trail hike, or simply walks around the neighborhood. And lots of love and snuggles of course :) I also have extensive horse experience, and limited experience with other livestock, and I'm happy to provide services for those animals as well. I currently work from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, which allows me to work around whatever your pet care needs are. I have a reliable 4 wheel drive vehicle, so I can get to some of the further out Nevada County destinations no problem. I pride myself on being punctual, organized and reliable, and you can rest assured that your pet(s) and home will receive attentive and loving care. I am happy to take care of any additional tasks that you might need around your home while you're away (checking mail, taking out trash, watering plants/garden, etc. )

“Ana is really great with my dog Dexter! She took Dexter to his familiar surroundings & he had a great time. Dexter was a tired & happy dog when he got home after his one hour walk. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Ana!!!”
