House Sitting In American River Parkway

“Jnaessa took loving care of my three critters (a needy dog and two cats). She gave them love and attention including extra attention to my fussy eater old lady cat to get her to eat. She sent me pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when I arrived home. I will definitely be booking Janessa again.”

“We hired Holly to house sit Tycho (cat) for two weeks. She was kind enough to put up with all our instructions and sent plenty of updates. Furthermore our kitty is extremely skittish and he warmed up to her very quickly. Will absolutely hire her again.”

“Jenna was absolutely wonderful! Extremely communicative and kept us updated which I really appreciated. She left our home in tip top shape and our pets were very well taken care of. We’ve already rebooked her for her services! 11/10 recommend”

About: In my younger years I was known as that house you could trust your pets with, which sadly led to less boarding and daycare services and more abandonment of pets on my doorstep. I accepted each surrender because I always figured better here with me then on the streets. After successfully adopting out all these love bugs to people I knew and trusted over the years, I've found myself in smaller quarters. I've found comfort and fulfillment in caring for outdoor cats (commonly referred to as strays) Taking in an orange Tabby to call my own in the process. I've made friends with neighbors who share the same love and passion and through these connections found community - a cat community! I currently care for three cats (siblings), house-sitting as well while their human parents are away. Each individual cat has it's different wants/needs. Through these experiences I've learned gaining trust and love is different for each individual feline. I'm looking to expand my care/services to neighboring cat families mainly because I love cats and know how important it is to have a community of cat folks in your corner when duty, vacation or emergencies call. I'm currently employed by Uber Eats so I make my own schedule. I'm open to weekend care as well. The only thing I do religiously is cultural dancing on Wednesday nights. My current clients are all indoor kitties so I am used to securing the household, feeding on a schedule throughout the day and doing enrichment with them be that play or individual love and cuddle time. I prepare meals specific to each cats needs, keep litterboxes and surrounding areas clean and keeping water stations fresh.

“Our first time booking a sitter for our 6-month-old Cavapoo and Michelle is awesome. Kept us updated on how he was doing throughout the night and even sent some pictures of him while we were away. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. New to Rover? Use my code for $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/natass69178 I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.

“I've worked with several other wonderful house sitters on Rover, but Tricia is exceptional in her professionalism, experience, communication, positivity, and problem solving capabilities. My dear pitbull rescue is a shy boy and typically it takes a few days to feel safe with a new sitter. Tricia had good sense for how to earn his trust and provide care that brought out the best in him. During our work with Tricia, we received detailed updates and photos about Momo's day which was a peace of mind for us on our trip. She promptly communicated with any questions or issues that came up, but Tricia demonstrated good judgement in her decision-making process and was able to accurately support Momo and his needs. Couldn't recommend Tricia enough; she is our first choice for future house sitting and pet care in the future.”

“Dustin took great care of our dog over 4th of July weekend, which is always tough for our little guy. Like many dogs, the fireworks really scare him. It was so relieving to know our pup was in good hands. We sincerely appreciate it!”

Minta K.

“We had a great experience working with Jazmin! She stayed in our home for two nights, treated our house with great respect and left everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, she truly loved our pups. She sent us frequent photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind and she even surprised the pups with pup cups as a special treat 🐶❤️ We could tell our dogs were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have 4 kitties and 1 pup of my own. I have had no less than 3 cats my entire life, and am always helping the local strays as well, so I have loved cats of every type of personality and special need. I take my pup with me just about everywhere, so I have a lot of experience being out and about with a canine companion. My dog doesn't like other dogs, so I am also comfortable caring for pups that prefer not to be around other dogs. If you're looking to give your pup an extra special day out at a new park, I would love to bring them on an adventure! If your dog and/or cat is all about routine, I've got you. Playtime? I am so there! Or maybe your little one is a bit anxious and just wants some scratches and snuggles - I am here to make them feel safe and loved while you are away. <3 Whatever they need most, I am here to provide. I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and as such, I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I can be available whenever it is that you need me the most! I always have access to my own car, so even if you need your pup taken to an appointment or to their most special favorite park, I am happy to do so. If you're looking for someone to stay with your pet all day and/or night, everything I need to do my freelance work is portable, so I can give your little one all the attention they deserve. :) I am the master of catering to the needs of all different types of pet personalities, as I have 4 cats and 1 dog of my own, all very unique from one another. As such, I am able to cater the care I give to fit perfectly with your little one's needs and routines.

“Keishla took great care of my large dog and cats while I was away. She even won over the affection of my more skiddish kitten! From the meet and greet, through the end of the sit, Keishla was respectful, responsive, and professional. She spent plenty of time playing with the animals, kept the house clean, and sent several updates and pictures throughout the sit. I would happily book her again!”

Michelle O.

“Alain was amazing. She communicated very well with the meet and greet and through the entire stay. We absolutely would love to have her help with our dog again!”

About: Ever since I was 10 I've taken care of dogs. I have experience in many different ages of dogs from newborn puppies to full grown. Since it is summer your pets will always fit in my schedule! Saturday and Sunday will be the only days I can't fit your pets in. I will always be willing to feed, clean, play and walk with your pets if they need it. I can stay overnight too as well.

About: I have been house and pet sitting for over 15 years. My love for animals is a core part of who I am and how I like to spend my time. I grew up around a wide variety of animals, such as dogs, cats, chickens, llamas, and horses, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a young age I helped tend to our rotating family of 2–5 dogs at a time. This gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and life stages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors with special needs. I currently share my home with my two beloved cats (Ellie & Ripley, 6yo sisters), and I also help care for several neighborhood cats regularly. I understand that each cat has a unique personality and needs, and I'm happy to learn your kitty's special habits and routine. Your feline family members will be in experienced and loving hands. As a house sitter I am clean and respectful of all pet owners' privacy and personal space. I have prior experience managing properties, so I am familiar with a variety of home styles and their practical needs (e.g. keeping old houses cool in summer). I will take good care of your home so that you have one less worry while traveling. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medication management, or just lots of playtime and cuddles, I bring genuine care and a lifetime of experience to every visit. Your pets won't just be looked after, they'll be loved. My husband and I take care of our own two pets every day. We're very proactive about refreshing water dishes and litter boxes, as well as enforcing everyone's diet and feeding schedule. I also help care for my neighborhood outdoor cat colony. We help keep them fed and safe. I treat my client's home with respect and privacy, prioritizing your pets comfort and routines. I'm happy to play with them or just give them some quiet company while you are away and they are missing you.

“Joel is an excellent dog/house sitter. He has bonded well with Loki, (our big German Shepherd/Husky cross) and is very patient, and very calm around him, which in turn keeps Loki calm! Joel is accommodating, responsive, flexible, professional and respectful. Joel is also very respectful of our home. We have already booked Joel a few times in coming months. We highly recommend Joel to look after your best furry canine friend, and your home while you are away!”

“Christina is a gem! She treated my dogs as if they were her own. My husband and I were out of town for the weekend so we had Christina stay at our house to watch our 2 dogs. She sent me daily pictures and videos treated our home with respect. I highly recommend Christina and we will definitely use her again”

“We can’t recommend Jacob highly enough! He has watched our beloved dog, Dodger, on three different occasions, and each time has been absolutely wonderful. Dodger lights up when he sees Jacob and clearly loves spending time with him and his dogs. It’s such a comfort knowing that while we’re away, Dodger is not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely happy—running, playing, and socializing in a spacious and loving environment. Jacob is incredibly professional, responsive, and kind. He keeps us updated, which gives us such peace of mind, and it’s clear he truly cares about Dodger as if he were his own. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your dog, especially when they mean so much to you—but Jacob is that rare gem. We feel so lucky to have found him!”
