Pet Sitting Woodward

About: I have been taking care of pets my entire life! I have had a variety of animals in my lifetime I including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, hamsters, rats, and fish!

I know how to handle all kinds of pets at home, whether it's feeding them, cleaning up after them, or giving them love, and how to handle walks safely!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own Beagle, who is friendly, well-socialized, and accustomed to living with people. Through daily walks, feeding, training reinforcement, grooming, and routine health care, I’ve learned how to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment for dogs. My home is a clean, smoke-free single-family house with a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so that every guest receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, quiet naps, or extra cuddles, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, so my background is closely connected to health, medications, biology, and careful observation. My training has made me very attentive to details such as changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, hydration, and daily routine, and I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, including medication schedules when needed. This scientific background naturally carries over into how I care for pets—I tend to notice small changes, keep routines consistent, and take safety and wellbeing seriously. I have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of time at home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already care for my own friendly Beagle and provide regular walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I am available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard that I specifically designed with my dog in mind. I wanted him to have a safe and comfortable outdoor space for potty breaks, playtime, exploring, and relaxing, so the backyard was planned to be both secure and easy for dogs to enjoy under supervision. I understand how important routine and a comfortable environment are, especially when a dog is staying somewhere unfamiliar. Dogs are never left outside unattended and always have access to fresh water, cozy indoor spaces, and plenty of attention. I treat every dog like part of the family and communicate regularly with owners through updates, photos, and videos. Please let me know about your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, potty schedule, energy level, personality, and any medical needs or behavioral concerns. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I prefer dogs that are friendly with other dogs since I have a male Beagle at home. My home is clean, quiet, and pet-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I have a friendly, well-socialized Beagle, so I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining a consistent routine.

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.

“Hans did everything asked and more, with all the attention, care, and consideration of our cat we’d hoped. Will use again for our cat and dogs.”

About: Hi, I’m Adam! I’ve spent the last several years working as a Program Assistant supporting adults with disabilities, where patience, reliability, communication, and compassionate care are part of my everyday life. I bring those same qualities to caring for your pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a calm companion around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy and in good hands. My goal is simple: to treat your pet like family and provide the same level of care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend(s)! My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of booking requests, including weekdays, weekends, and last-minute needs. I’d be happy to discuss your pet’s routine and how I can best support their care. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs to help them feel secure and comfortable while in my care. I maintain a clean, safe environment, closely supervise activities, and follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. I believe consistency is important, so I do my best to keep pets on their normal schedule. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience where pets feel cared for, safe, and loved.

“As a first-time user of Rover, we’re lucky to have found Aicha- she is compassionate, professional, educated, and communicative- all the attributes of someone you’d hope for to look after your beloved fur baby. For my initial drop-in visit, she was quick to respond and eager to adjust to our needs as new puppy parents. Her willingness to schedule a meet and greet prior to the 1st visit allowed us the opportunity to build rapport with Ube and show her the ropes before the first session. During her drop-ins, she sends real-time updates/pictures and asks for clarification of house rules giving us reassurance that she respects our home and reinforces habits we try to impart for our pup. Moving to Sacramento with few friends/family, she has been a huge support for my husband and I who both work long hours.”

“Cody was absolutely wonderful! He checked in on my cat, Jacki, for a drop-in visit, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was caring, reliable, and attentive, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing Jacki was in such good hands. It’s clear that Cody genuinely cares about animals and takes his responsibility seriously. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave Jacki, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I would definitely book Cody again! 🐱❤️”

About: I have 5years working experience with both large and small domestic/captive animals. This, along with my education at UCD, has helped me gain utmost confidence in reading an animal’s body language and behaving in ways they can be comfortable with me. I am a big fan of enrichment, so I am all for anything you’re willing to try for your pet that can get their minds stimulated! I’m detail oriented and skilled at maintaining whatever level of energy your pet needs. I’m currently working full time at a farm animal sanctuary and have the flexibility to walk or drop in on your pup between 6a-11a and from 9p-overnight as needed I have a 1bed apartment and a friendly golden that is trained to be around reactive dogs. I love to visit nearby parks and green belts, so rest assured your pet will have the sniff of a lifetime!

About: As a dog trainer, I have the opportunity to help people build deeper relationships, communicate more effectively, and have more fun with their dogs. It’s a privilege to bring joy to my clients by strengthening the bond they share with their companions. My goal in training is to develop balanced, confident dogs. I believe a dog that understands what’s expected of them, and what they can expect from the world around them, is a dog that can move through life with confidence, security, and joy. I am a professional dog trainer so my full day is dedicated and devoted to the animals in my care. I often enjoy early morning walks at the river with my off leash pack, then I work and train dogs through the day. 1) Safety First: animal welfare is the #1 priority, full stop. 2) Relationship Second: training does not being until trust is built between animal and handler. This is very important - I will never push the animal faster than they are ready to move or faster than the trust and relationship will support. 3) Goals Third: after we ensure safety and build a trusting relationship, we can prioritize the client’s goals for training. Training is done through positive incentive based learning following science-backed principles of learning theory.
