Peaceful Pets Pet Sitting Services

I wish we were staying in the area!
Peaceful Pets is amazing. The staff is incredibly dedicated to their jobs and to your pets. Our pets were so much more relaxed during our vacation as they were in a familiar environment with people who so obviously cared about them.
Additionally, we have a difficult dog (reactivity) that they had no problem dealing with.

These guys are great! They are a respectful pack of humans dedicated to taking care of your animals! I moved to Sacramento to attend an accelerated nursing school, and my biggest concern was taking my country animals into an apartment for a year. Dana and the team worked with my crazy, ever changing clinical rotation schedule to accommodate my critters. My dog is a rescue and has his issues, and he LOVED all the dog walkers. They gave my kitties love each day and sent me pictures and updates about their visits. It felt so great to have that group on my team through school, knowing that if something came up, they would be able to give a medication, some extra snuggles, etc.

I have used Peaceful Pets 3 times: June and August 2015, and December 2015. Each time I was gone for about a week.
The folks at Peaceful Pets are reliable, trustworthy, and will love your animal. For the initial consultation, James, Dana, Shyloh, and Michele came to my house to meet my cat, Elsie. James had a clipboard and recorded information about her and whether I would need them to bring in mail, water plants, or draw curtains/​blinds while I was away (very cool for a pet sitting service!). We sat together afterward just talking about our love for cats and I got a feel for them as people. They are wonderful folks and have a great deal of experience and education in working with animals.
Each day I was gone, one of them would visit and send me a report about how Elsie was doing and took pictures that I could see on my gmail account from my smartphone (posted to their Pet Sitting Site,
). They dug Elsie’s toys out from under the fridge and stove, and James brought her fresh catnip. A package arrived while I was away so they brought that in, too. I didn’t need plants watered or mail brought in, but I felt content knowing they were spending time playing and loving Elsie while I was away.
I’m pleased I can leave town whenever I need to because I know that Peaceful Pets will take care of everything. They are mindful, detail-​oriented, and professional. Thank you Dana, James, Shyloh, and Michele. You guys are wonderful!

Dana and Michelle were great! We went on a 3 week trip overseas and they kindly watched our kitties while were were away. We got pictures and messages every day letting us know how our kittens were doing. One of our kitties has special needs, and requires subQ fluids every other day. It was no problem! They are very professional, and nice folks all around. We will definately be in touch with them for our next trip!

We have used peaceful pets for the past 19 months to care for our two dogs, Tate & Dani. They have been nothing short of amazing. When we adopted Dani 6 months ago they were incredibly patient as she acclimated to our family, even dealing lovingly with her separation anxiety on overnight visits. They are always willing to accommodate whether you want solo walks, group time, dog park play, etc. and they go above and beyond for overnight visits. Last weekend they even took Tate & Dani to San Francisco for an adventure at the beach! We 100% trust James & Dana to care for our fur babies and they always come home happy, loved, and well exercised. They are truly wonderful with our dogs and have made their quality of life so much better while giving us peace of mind whenever we are away. I cannot overstate how much we appreciate everything peaceful pets has done for us!

I have two very difficult dogs, so I’m always worried about finding someone to take them on. But not only did Peaceful Pets have one person willing and able, but three! James and Sarah and Michelle switch off doing doggy visits for my guys and they are fabulous. My dogs love — LOVE — them and I always come home to relaxed, happy canines.
Dana is amazing and has worked hard to schedule last-​minute request when I needed them. And never has anyone missed a visit or been late or anything, even iif I do crazy schedule requests one week. These folks are super professional.
Plus, I love the texts and poop reports!

I would highly recommend Peaceful Pets to anyone. We met James and Dana when we set up our initial interview. Communication between them and us was perfect. When we left town, I was pretty sure Ki Ki (huskey) Bob and Bella (cats) were going to be taken care of. Now as we were out of town, those feelings changed. And not for the worst. I received our first text from Dana. It had a picture of our smiling Ki Ki. With a note one what was being accomplished and done. Now we knew that we had chose the right sitters. Every visit every text showed they not only were there to make sure out pets we’re let out, but that they cared and loved our pets as much as we did. Way to go Peaceful Pets. We would use them anytime we would need them from here on.

I have the utmost praise for Peaceful Pets. One of our two dogs (Milo) is «reactive» and has difficulty adjusting to new people, dogs, etc. We were worried because we had a 1 week trip planned, and didn’t think Milo would do well with strangers taking care of him. James at Peaceful Pets was incredibly patient in working with Milo to earn his trust. By the time we left for the trip, we absolutely knew that both dogs would look forward to his visits and would be in good hands.
While we were gone, James made sure we knew the dogs were doing well by texting photos and brief descriptions of their visits. It really helped me relax on our vacation knowing that our dogs were doing well in our absence. They looked so happy in the photos! James even went the extra mile and had some framed photos on our return! While we were gone, he even took care of various household tasks like cleaning up after the puppies over-​excited chewing session and picking up the mail.
Quite frankly, I’ve never had someone love my pets as much as Peaceful Pets. I strongly recommend them to anyone in the Sacramento area who needs a dog walker or pet sitter. Thank-​you Peaceful Pets!

This review is LONG overdue! We moved to Sacramento in June of 2013 and needed a dog walker. After searching and doing our research we came across Peaceful Pets. All I can say is THANK GOD! They are so wonderful! Our dogs love them as do we! We always get the best pictures and updates at the end our their walks. I have never once worried or wondered about their care or safety. Recently, we have wanted to take our dogs to the dog park for the first time. We were very nervous about it. I talked to Dana and James and they scheduled a time for us to meet at the park. Once there I saw how much our dogs loved them and how comfortable they were with them. I was a little nervous at the dog park with all the other dogs and they calmly talked me through the process. They are a true gift to our family!
Not only are they so great with our dogs but their prices are very reasonable as well.
Thank you Peaceful Pets for your love and care for our dogs!

I am so happy that I found Peaceful Pets. They provide such wonderful care of my 3 boys. I get great text messages with pictures that give me a smile in the middle of the day. I don’t worry at all knowing that Dana, James and Sarah provide such a loving service. They are so kind and I appreciate them so much. They truly are a blessing!

I recommend Peaceful Pets without reservation! When I first contacted them, Dana and James visited, took careful notes on my girl, and have been providing her with her regular walks, snuggles, photo ops, and TLC ever since. We couldn’t be happier with them. Dana is professional, competent, incredibly well trained and caring. James and Sarah, who also care for our girl, have been just as wonderful. Our dog adores them! I couldn’t be more comfortable with their expertise, presence in my home, and care for our dog. I consider them to be not only a wonderful addition to our girl’s life, but to ours as well. They are the best!

I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful company. They are fantastic! I felt completely secure leaving my pets in their very capable hands

It has now been 7 years and I am still using Peaceful Pets. I got a second dog, a puppy, and Dana and James have continued to be very helpful and caring in taking care of both the dogs. They get to go on doggie play dates with other dogs too.
I always get great pictures and updates right after the visits texted to my phone. It is great to see my happy tired dogs when I am at work.
They have become part of the family.

I cannot say enough about the amazing service we received with Peaceful Pets. My partner and I had to leave town for four days and wanted Argo, our dog, to get the best of care. The team did an amazing job!!!
Further, our flight home was cancelled and we had to ask last minute for Peaceful Pets to continue to visit. Without missing a beat Dana and James made sure Argo got out for a walk with his new lab friend, and was fed twice a day.
Again, if you are looking for someone to love your pet as if it were their own, you found the place!

Absolutely fantastic. James took such good care of our girls. We have two 85 lb shepherds. They can be a handful but they were clean and happy when we returned. One of our dogs is also very sick. James gave her the daily meds and reported back on how she was doing. We even got daily picture text messages of their walks and well being. I highly recommend Peaceful Pets. It was such a pleasant experience– start to finish. Thanks!

I hadn’t left my pets in a few years, always took them with me, but this was a special ocassion and thought it was better to leave them home.
Dana and Becky came over for a consultation first, Becky covers the weekend’s so that is who took care of my pets, 2 dogs and 2 cats.
They are smart, sharp, friendly and professional. The constant updates were invaluable, Becky texted me each time she came with great details, I had no worries, and they were all just fine when I got home.
My pets are older, and like many of us I have one dog who is attached to my hip and and worry about him the most, but he was in great spirits, it was like I never left.

Peaceful Pets is the very best anyone could possibly ask for. James & Dana are amazing people that treat your babies like their very own. In fact, my cats are ready to pack my bags to get me out of the house so they can be babysat again. ;) Every day I got beautiful pictures of the kittens getting the royal treatment with fresh home grown catnip and lots of lovings. I trust them completely and have no qualms about leaving town now because I know that my animals are in good hands. Thank you guys for being so awesome! :)

I am so glad I found Peaceful Pets! Dana is a great pet sitter and business woman! Dana took great care of our two cats while we were out of town for the holidays. She not only fed and cleaned up after our cats but she took the time to play with them, give them treats and give awesome TLC while we were gone. Dana even took out our trash for us! I love Peaceful Pets, I would never use another pet service! Dana rocks and I HIGHLY recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!
Thanks Dana!

On the surface this business appeared sound: the owner a veterinary technician with lots of animal experience. But her husband had no experience to speak of and he was the one taking care of our pets.
We had them watch our 3 dogs on several occasions in 2008. We have always known our dogs do not eat well together. We left special instructions not to feed our dogs together and on two separate vacations the dogs ended up getting at each other’s food and therefore had fights. The second fight left severe abscesses in our youngest dog’s ear which had clearly been going on for a few days when we found it. And it was not even mentioned to us.
The petsitter then complained that our dogs were too hard to walk. But we never even requested they walk the dogs. While we were out of town they had the nerve to recommend we watch Cesar Milan videos to train them on leashes better.
