House Sitting Woodward

“Mya took great care of our dog and house while we were away for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures daily and it was very easy to communicate with her both before and during the stay. Highly recommended!”

“Rosemarie came to visit us and meet Lulu before the dog sitting date, which was very nice as they got acquainted with each other. On Thanksgiving Day Rosemarie arrived early and begin bonding with Lulu right away. We weee gone for a long time. Rosemarie fed and walked with Lulu. She sent us photos and even spent time cuddling with Lulu. We would definitely recommend Rosemarie and have no reservations about using her in the future as well as recommending to others. Thank you, Rosemarie!”

About: It is important to me that our furry family members are taken care of and receive the care they deserve. I am extremely detail-oriented and strive to make sure I care for your family just as well as you do. I currently work a consistent part-time schedule along with attending online college so there should be little to no time conflicts. I keep a planner so I have a clear idea of what my schedule looks like. I have experience with giving medication to pets of different temperaments along with handling cases of food aggression. I ask owners to provide detailed lists of what is needed as well as actions I could take in case things go awry. I usually make the effort to contact owners with updates on pets and with questions when necessary.

“Colette took fantastic care of our dog! We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. She sent us pictures of our boy when we were away and he looked very content. We will be booking with Colette again very soon!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets and homes for more than 25 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, and have spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and through TrustedHousesitters. Earlier in my career, I worked at a veterinary office, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care. I’ve also volunteered with Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue, helping with transportation, fostering dogs in need, and walking dogs at the rescue. That’s actually where I met and eventually adopted my own Golden Retriever and Mini Goldendoodle! My family has been active on TrustedHousesitters for the past two years, both as pet owners and sitters. Being on the other side of the experience has given us a real appreciation for how important it is to find someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to look after your pets. We love giving that same peace of mind to other pet parents. I work full-time, but spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do in my free time. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I work from home most days so am open to taking care of pets in the morning, lunch time, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends with a 1 week notice. I can also stay at your house and work remotely if you require someone to be with your pets throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I do not like kenneling dogs so unless this is a request of yours, your dog(s) will not be kenneled. They will have full roam of my house and will have access 24/7 to the backyard via the doggy door.

“Chrissy was an awesome house sitter for our energetic, 1-year-old golden/husky mix! She gave regular updates and kept him entertained. Would definitely book again and recommend!”

Iris P.

“Super attentive, reliable, and informative. Did everything we asked and more, left the house sparkling and the dogs happy!”

Elizabeth C.

“Our dogs Brenda and Mickey were in great care with Maria. When they go to a boarding facility, they are stressed and lose weight. Luckily, they were able to stay home and Maria gave them the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy while we were gone. I definitely recommend Maria!”

Alexandra V.

“We had Brina stay with our pups for four days and she really bonded with them in that short time. She has maturity and is very responsible, paying attention to the details and our pups were very happy and quite calm upon our return. She has a gentle and mellow personality which mirrors that of our little cavaliers. Brina took great care of our babies as well as our home in our absence. We are quite pleased with Brina and we look forward to having her stay in our home for a longer, extended time. Thank you Brina.”

Marie-Claire D.

“We love Farrah! She has done some short sits as well as this extended sit for our anxious dog, Gunner. She’s conscientious and cares deeply about Gunner’s wellbeing. She’s professional and has excellent communication. We returned to a calm and happy Gunner as well as a very clean home. We can’t recommend Farrah enough.”

Andrea M.

“Thank you so much Jennifer. I really appreciate you taking such good care of my baby. I'll be reaching out again very soon! Hope you are available !!”

About: ✨ Insured 🐶 Small & Medium Boutique Dogs + Rescue Pups 📍 Catering to small-medium sized Boutique Dogs and Rescues of East Sac, Tahoe Park, Elmhurst & Midtown 🍼 Puppies Welcome 🐈 Kitties too! (Up to 4 at a time!) 🐾 30+ Years of Experience ⭐ 5-Star Treatment 📋 References available 🐾 Puppies!! Kitties!! Doggies!!—Oh My! Since I was a kid I’ve always had a furry best friend by my side. I’ve been pet and house sitting since I was 12 years old. My specialty is small- to medium-sized boutique dogs and rescue pups, providing personalized care to the furry residents of East Sacramento, Tahoe Park, Elmhurst, and Midtown. As a resident of these areas myself, I know the neighborhoods, streets, parks, and walking areas well, so your pets will be cared for by someone who is truly local and familiar with the territory. I provide individualized care based on your pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I’m especially patient with shy, timid, or cautious rescue pups and love earning their trust at their own pace. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, cozy couch snuggles, or simply having someone nearby who makes them feel safe and loved, I’m happy to be their stand-in best friend while you’re away. You can count on me to keep your home clean, tidy, and secure, respect your belongings and privacy, and leave everything just as you left it—or cleaner. .My specialties include expert belly rubs, enthusiastic walks, championship treat-giving (with permission!), and a Ph.D. in sweet animal baby talk. 🐶🐱💕 And kitties are welcome, too! I’m happy to provide meals, playtime, litter care, affection, and companionship—while fully understanding that cats generally prefer to be the ones in charge. 😸 Personalized care, happy pets & peace of mind—because your boutique babies and rescues deserve 5-star treatment! I’m currently finishing my degree in Social Work at American River College. I do have to go to campus (15 mins away) 4 days a week-Mon-Thursday from 10am-1pm. I prefer to work from anywhere with a reliable Wi-Fi connection, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets while staying on top of my coursework. At the moment, I have a very open and flexible schedule, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I also have reliable transportation, so whether your pets need walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or house sitting, I’m dependable and happy to help! Every pet is different, and I think that’s what makes this so much fun! I always like to meet in person or on zoom beforehand getting to know you and you getting to know me and of course learning about your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, quirks, and favorite spots to be scratched before I even start. ***My goal is to make your time away feel as normal and stress-free for them as possible.*** Whether that means sticking to a strict feeding schedule, going on long walks, playing fetch until we’re both tired, giving medications, or simply curling up on the couch for a cuddle session, I’m all in. I’ll also send plenty of photo and video updates because I know how much it means to see your fur baby happy while you’re away. As for your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep it clean, secure, and cared for, bring in the mail, water plants if needed, and leave everything just as you left it—or cleaner! My job is to make sure you come home to a happy pet, a well-cared-for home, and absolutely nothing to worry about. That’s the kind of peace of mind I’d want if someone were caring for my own furry family members.

“The is was my first experience with Rover and leaving my Lulu with anyone and it was FANTASTIC! I could not have picked anyone better than Mooney! He treated Lulu like she was his own dog. Trips to the dog park, photo shoots, updates, Mooney was exceptional! It is such a relief to know that I have a great dogsitter now, who is easy to communicate with and loves Lulu as much as I do!”

“Ayanna was great to work with -- very responsive, and able to take great care of our somewhat complicated and challenging dog. Would book her again for dog-sitting and house-sitting in a heartbeat.”

Will G.

“Natalie beat my expectations! She was extremely attentive of the dogs in every way. My house looked better than when I left it and the dogs were very sad to see her go. I will certainly be using her services again and I wish I used her in the past. I’m recommending her to all the pet owners in my family because she made house sitting feel truly seamless. She even watered my plants and picked up after my dogs which were things I told her she didn’t have to do! Thank you so much!”

About: I have extensive experience as a Dog Groomer for Puptopia in Dixon, Ca. I've groomed and spent time with many different breeds small and large, young and old. I have college in the mornings on weekdays until around 4pm. Completely free on most weekends. Willing to work out specific days during the week if it's necessary for me to stay earlier in the day. I have deep respect for pets and owners alike. From minute one I will observe your pets moods, basic behaviors and any patterns that may arise. I'm currently in school for psychology and I hope my interest in that as well as my years of experience will create a gentle atmosphere for both you and your pets.

“Catherine was wonderful! She was thoughtful, responsive, and kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their time with her. I also came home to a house that was in great shape. I would absolutely book with Catherine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and genuinely love getting to know pets of all personalities, ages, and energy levels. I had my own dog, Boo, for 12 years and was responsible for her daily care, routines, and companionship throughout her life. Currently, I help with my roommate’s dog, Mavi, and have helped care for her for the past 3 years. I help make sure she is fed, walked, has fresh water, and of course gets plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. I’ve also pet sat for friends several times and have experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments. In high school, I regularly house sat and cared for animals for a family friend with a farm. Along with caring for their dogs and cats, I also helped look after their horses and goats. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I always try to provide calm, attentive, and reliable care. I currently work full time Monday through Friday from 8am–5pm, but I’m available to care for pets before and after work, during my lunch break, and much more flexibly on weekends. I’m committed to making sure pets stay on their normal routines and get the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owners are away. At this time, I plan to provide care in the client’s home, where pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment. Since I currently rent, I’m limited on additional animals in my home, but I’m happy to provide reliable in-home visits, walks, drop-ins, and house sitting care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I understand that pets can feel stressed when their owners are away, so I try to provide consistency, patience, and plenty of attention to help them feel secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, house rules, and any special care needs. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, affection, and supervision appropriate for their needs and personality. I believe communication and trust are very important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos to help owners feel reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel cared for, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.

“Kari was amazing! Our dogs loved her and she was so communicative. I highly recommend! Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I personally have 11 cats in our house and seven dogs. Most of the dogs are 30 pounds or less but we also have a golden retriever and a labrador. I have some experience giving medication but depends on how open your pet is to their meds. I currently work full time hours but have time for overnight stays on the weekends. I also have time for drop in/checkup visits and walks on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday after 6pm. On Fridays I have time for drop in visits noon or later. Exact details can be discussed based on location. I only offer services in the comfort of your own home as I have too many animals at my house to make accommodations. Having your pet remain in your home will help them feel more at ease in your absence.
