About: Hi! I’m originally from Norway and currently live with my husband and our very friendly cat. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I was the main caregiver for my dog for 11 years, so I’m very used to daily walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe and happy. Since then, I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, fostered cats, cared for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs, and I even had 3 bunnies myself, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, because they really are family. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or just wants company and affection, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own❤️❤️ I currently work part time starting around 4 PM, and my husband gets off work around the same time (3:30pm) so there will almost always be someone home to care for your pet. I also have a lot of free time and love to stay active during the day, I love to walk, hike and run,so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m excited to give your pet lots of attention and care while you are away! I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable in my home. We recently moved into our apartment, so there isn’t a lot of clutter or things pets can get into. Our cat is also very nosy, so we’ve already made sure our home is very pet-proof and safe. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and any instructions from the owner. Whether that’s walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication, or just giving them extra attention and comfort, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and at home while you’re away. I also love going on walks and staying active, so dogs will get plenty of exercise, attention, and outdoor time with me💓
About: Dogs are the best creatures. I adore them in all the shapes and colors they come in! I have been around dogs my whole life and have cared for multiple dogs at a time. I look forward to befriending your beast!🐾💖 As a college student, my hours are flexible and easy to work around. Looking after your pet is a dream job and definitely helps when I’m missing my own pets while being away from home. I would love to take this opportunity and share my love and care to your pets! I am very familiar with the routine of caring for pets in others houses. I am responsible, clean, and committed to doing the very best work I can for you and your pet.
“Julissa was great. Super communicative and took great care of our dog. There was a problem with the door lock, but she was so understanding and worked with us to get it fixed. We will definitely book her again.”

“Brooke is professional, communicative, and takes great care of our pets. I love reading her notes and seeing the photos when she comes to walk our dog. I highly recommend her services.”

About: Hi!! I’m Grace! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with both dogs and cats and can’t imagine a home without them. I currently have a two-year-old Border Collie named Cosmo, who absolutely loves making new friends and playing with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Being a dog mom myself, I know how much our pets mean to us, and I promise to provide the same love, care, attention, and affection that I would want for my own pup. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, happy, and at ease while you’re apart. 🐾 💕 I am a student and am off for the summer, so I have lots of time to spend with furry friends! I am so excited for our furry friends to meet and spend quality time together! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can feel at home while you’re away. I live in downtown Sacramento just a short walk from a park, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, fresh air, and playtime. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years, but my real training started with my own dog Haku. He has taught me patience, routine, and how to understand different dog personalities. I am used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. Haku is friendly with children, other dogs, and cats, so I understand the importance of proper introductions and calm environments. Every dog has their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I work from home, so I get to spend most of my day around dogs. I’m available for boarding on weekends and flexible during weekdays. Your pup will have company, regular walks, and a steady routine instead of being left alone all day. Dogs can sense calm energy, and I bring that into my home. I keep things structured but relaxed. I respect each dog’s personality and never force interactions. Haku runs quality control and makes sure every guest feels welcome.

About: My family has always been a pet family, so I have been taking care of animals my entire life. In recent years, one of my pastimes has been walking dogs at shelters in order to meet their exercise needs. From big to small I have walked them all. I am currently a university student on summer break. My mornings to mid afternoons are free to take care of your pets. Weekends are also available. I am respectful of others homes and their preferences regarding their pets. Please let me know if you have any specific requests or things to avoid when taking care of your previous companion.
About: I've spent over 10 years caring for dogs — from raising my own to fostering puppies through every stage of their early development. That hands-on experience means I know how to read a dog's needs, adapt to their personality, and keep them happy, comfortable, and safe whether you're gone for an hour or a week. What You Can Expect: Every dog in my care gets individualized attention — not a one-size-fits-all routine. I'm experienced with: 💊 Medication administration (oral, topical, and timed dosing) 🍽️ Scheduled feeding tailored to your dog's diet and routine 🎾 Regular playtime and enrichment to keep tails wagging 🔒 Safety-first supervision — your dog has my full attention, always Communication You Can Count On: I know how hard it is to leave your dog, so I make it easy to stay connected. Expect frequent photo and video updates, quick responses to messages, and honest check-ins throughout every stay. My clients tell me the updates are one of their favorite parts. Let's Chat: Every dog is different, and I love getting to know yours before we get started. Reach out to discuss your dog's needs, your schedule, and pricing — I'm happy to make it work. Why Your Dog Will Love Staying With Me: I work from home four days a week, which means your dog isn't waiting around — they're with me. Between meetings, we head out for walks, and I'm always close by for snuggles, play, or just keeping them company throughout the day. I know routines matter to dogs (and their owners), so I make it a priority to stick to your pup's existing schedule — same feeding times, same walk patterns, same bedtime rituals. The goal is for your dog to feel at home, not like they're somewhere new. A typical day looks like: 🌅 Morning walk to start the day right ☀️ Midday activity breaks woven around my work schedule 🐾 Afternoon walk or play session 🌙 Wind-down time with plenty of attention before bed Whether your dog needs lots of stimulation or just a calm, cozy companion, I'll adapt to what works best for them. A Safe, Calm, and Dedicated Space for Your Dog: Your dog will have my complete, undivided attention — I only take one dog at a time, and with no other pets or kids at home, the environment stays calm, low-stress, and focused entirely on them. A home they'll feel comfortable in: 🏡 One dog at a time — no competition for attention, ever 🔒 Secure home — doors locked at all times, no patios or escape points, so you can relax knowing they're safe 🌳 Park nearby for great walks — and for dogs who prefer a quieter route, I'm happy to take more private paths away from crowds and other animals 🎒 Always prepared — I bring backup water bowls and toys so your dog is never without what they need For in-home visits: I know your dog feels most comfortable in their own space, so I keep things low-key and let them set the pace. I stick to their existing routine and give them the time and space to warm up to me on their own terms — no rushing, no pressure.

Lila was wonderful. At the meet and greet, it was evident my dog Gracie really loved her. Lila followed the plan that I left for her taking Gracie for her favorite walks in the neighborhood. Lila sent me pictures of Gracie everyday that I was gone as well as the Rover report card which was really reassuring. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that Gracie was in such good hands. I would definitely book her for Gracie again if I needed to be away in the future.
