“Erika was a great sitter for our cats. She came by exactly when she said she would, took care to clean out their litter box, checked on their food, and gave them some attention. It's easy to ignore cats, especially when they are shy, but she took the time to sit with them and get to know them. We could tell they loved having her there because she sent a ton of photos to show that they were playing and getting lots of attention. She even helped out with watering our plants. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Payton did a wonderful job with our pups. She was on time and played with them outside. She has to stay and watch them eat their meals because one of them (Panda Sandoval) is a food thief. Buster Posey is a puppy mill pup so he has some issues. She won him over though. Thank you Payton!”
“Shera is a new fav of Ollie and mine! She is throrough, clear with communication and notes after visit and between the pictures and notes and my happy pup when I come home I know he's had the best time with her! She popped in and gave him some love after he had a dog attack and was struggling and again now that he's his happy self and both times I felt super confident she took great care of him!”
“Big thanks to Martha for taking care of my awkward/slightly difficult cats! And for making sure my senior cat got her medicine. She left a detailed account of how her visit went and sent a picture : )”
“We had a fantastic experience with Kasey and Elizabeth! From the moment we connected, they were professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with animals. They took excellent care of Sunday, Ditty, and Peach, following all instructions carefully and even going above and beyond with extra playtime, updates, and photos while we were away. Our pets looked happy and well-cared for when we returned, and our home was just as we left it. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”
“My pup was sick today and after only knowing her a day, Mrs Lauren came to the rescue. She helped take care of my girl while I was stuck at work. I am so lucky to have found her!! <3”
About: I grew up with pets and spent years caring for my sweet Chihuahua. I was also that neighborhood kid who fed all the stray cats. I've always had a deep love for animals, and now I'm just looking to spend more time doing what I love! I'm attentive to senior pups who need a slower pace and extra care. And my patient demeanor means that I will be calm and loving to your puppy (no matter what)! I’m a teacher and currently off for summer 2025—with lots of free time that I hope to spend with animals! This means I’m highly flexible and available for last-minute bookings. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all of your care instructions exactly, including instructions regarding gates/locks and home security.
About: I have cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. From farm to family and friends'. Strays somehow always find me in my neighborhood. I am so passionate about creatures that I volunteer at the SPCA as a socializer in my free time. I have also cared for elderly & sick animals. Spending time with pets is one of my greatest joys! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to travel to visits in the area multiple times a day/week as needed. I am centrally located in Midtown. Although your bond with your pet is one of a kind, my goal is to give your pet the same fun, comforting, and safe time as they would have with you. This includes learning their and your preferences for feeding schedules, walking habits (i.e. reactive to other dogs or humans? prefers to poop on dirt rather than grass?), home and public safety of your animal, doing my best to keep toxic and/or forbidden foods out of reach (plants, shoes, charging cables etc), and keeping any door-dashers where they should be. I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs, and in cats, injecting fluids. I respect your home and your privacy. Working with integrity and keeping your trust is very important to me!
About: I have pet sat the small dogs & cats of my friends, their families, and neighbors for a decade+. Pets fill my heart with joy and I love meeting them. I have administered oral medication to pets & am adept at making sure your fur babies are comfortable and loved while you’re away. I am self employed & have time during the week & evenings to walk your pet and make sure their needs are taken care of! Weekends available on a case by case basis. I have my own senior cat to care for, so overnights are not an option. I can come by your home to check on your pets, provide basic care, offer them love and affection, and walk dogs. I do not offer care inside my home.
“Michelle took excellent care of our cats. This included getting the older cat to come for her ear medicine and administering the medicine. We would definitely book her again. Meow!”
“Chynna was great with my senior pup that has been dealing with some health issues. They were kind, flexible, and communicative so that I was fully comfortable knowing my dog was taken care of. Would recommend!”
About: I have 15 yrs experience working on farms with all kinds of animals including chickens, cows, pigs, goats, ostriches, and more! I love dogs, especially herding ones. I’m new to town, going back to school for GIS. I have a flexible schedule and love spending time with animals. I’m a morning person who loves a reason to get up early and seize the day so morning walks are my favorite. I also have 4yrs experience in property management. I make a great house-sitter as I am keenly aware of household operations, care, and how to handle emergencies.
About: I have had a golden retriever growing up and in 2020 adopted 2 lab puppies. I have a lot of experience with playing, walking, feeding, and just being around animals. Pet care will fit into my daily routine because I have quite a bit of free time that I would like to spend with animals! I care for my pets by walking, feeding, playing, and hanging out with them daily. I make sure to give them attention and a lot of pets!

“Elizabeth was great and our cats appeared to really enjoy her company! Her updates were wonderfully detailed and we appreciated all the pictures.”
Karli B.
“Karli has watched my 9 year old kitty three times and is currently scheduled for a future visit. I am so grateful to have someone kind and trustworthy to visit my little love when I am away. Karli is clearly an animal person; I feel very comfortable leaving with her caring for my kitty. Oh! And she took the cutest photo I’ve ever seen of her, too, love that.”
Summer H.
“Summer is exceptionally punctual, detail-oriented, and one of the few people I trust to care for our dog and two cats while we are away. I am consistently impressed by her attentiveness and dedication; she thoughtfully provides an activity log after each visit, giving peace of mind and a clear record of the care each animal receives. She also has a cat of her own, Winnie, who is as sweet and well-loved as one might expect. I cannot recommend Summer enough, we are incredibly lucky to have her.”

American River Parkway pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was very communicative and let us know about any issues such as the automatic cat feeder was unplugged. She also sent us pictures and videos and it was obvious that our kitties felt comfortable around her. She seems quite experienced and we definitely will try to book Jessica again in the future!
Holly took the best care of my two cats who both require meds in the mornings and evenings. She won over their hearts and trust so that insulin injections, pills and syringe meds all went well, with lots of snuggles and playtime. Thank you so much, Holly! 🐾🐾
Payton is awesome! She was super flexible and even available for last minute changes which happens a lot with my crazy work schedule. I felt so relieved knowing she was giving my dog lots of love and cuddles while I was away. Will definitely book her again in the future. Thanks Payton!
We are so grateful for Jandy. We messaged her at 2:30AM looking for someone experienced to help us out with our sweet sick cat. He has chronic diseases and was pretty stable before we left for a short trip, but we noticed on our cameras he was having a flare up while we were gone. Our regular sitter wasn’t ready to manage it. Jandy answered us that morning and was at our place by 11:30 AM giving our cat SubQ fluids, meds, and sweet snuggles. He was doing much better after she took care of him. She is clearly very knowledgeable with cats with medical problems. She shared some of her experience in taking care of cats with similar issues, and what worked for them, obviously discuss all treatment with your vet, but we found it helpful! Because of Jandy we got to enjoy the rest of our trip knowing our cat was in good hands.
Chynna was amazing with our two pups! One of them is on a little more on guard with people he doesn’t know and Chynna was so patient with him! They became best buds by the end of our trip. Super appreciate all the patience and helping to clean up when our dog got a little too excited. Would definitely book again!
We’re so grateful to Kelcya “Kacey” & Elizabeth B.! They took such sweet care of our kitten while we were away—making sure his food and water bowls were full, his litter box was clean, and most importantly, giving him plenty of love and playtime. He was clearly well cared for! Thank you both so much! 💛🐾
Parker was great! It was a last minute booking so we didn't do a proper meet and greet, but Parker and Sela met before. Parker was very patient with her, Sela didn't recognize her right away and was a little afraid and shy at the beginning. Parker took her time and didn't push Sela's boundaries. Everything went great after a little while. Parker was very communicative, patient and professional. Highly recommended!
I cannot overstate how grateful we are to have found Shera as a pet sitter. She is fabulous: incredibly communicative, very trustworthy and kind, and clearly cares deeply about each animal. We always have a hard time being away from our pets, but she makes it so much easier. Thank you, Shera!!
Josilyn was amazing with Lucy! She brushed her, took her on walks, played with her, and made sure she felt loved and happy the whole time. She even accommodated an extra day last minute, which I’m so thankful for. I’m really glad Josilyn was the one taking care of Lucy — she went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
