“Natalie was exceptional as always! She is our go to pet sitter. She’s provides detailed updates and our fur babies always do so well with her. 10/10 would recommend.”
“We have never left Pete and Molly before and we were a little nervous. Thank goodness for Lila!! She was available last minute, checked in every visit and cared for them like we would. Lila is a very warm, friendly and personable young lady! It’s no wonder dogs love her!! I would recommend her to anyone who loves their animals like we do and wants to give them the best care :)”
“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.”
“Kayla is the best. She is so good with Boo!! And she always takes the time to make sure everything is tidy and all is in perfect order. Thank you so much, Kayla! We appreciate you!”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my cat! My cat is kind of shy and she warmed up very quickly to Elizabeth. Photos for the visit and communication via texts were great too. 👍”
About: Your pet will be cared for and tended to very well. I have a lot of time throughout my whole day to take care of them. I’m currently in a training program that only takes up my time three times a week in the evening the rest of the time will be for your animals. I enjoy all breeds of dogs. I have a totally dog friendly apartment. I have room for their crate if needed and it’s a very common environment in my apartment complex and we also have a dog park.
About: I’m a former owner of an 80 lbs male German shepherd who loved to play, jump, and made me fetch balls for him. I’ll gladly give your pet the same love and respect I gave my own every day. I’ll be able to walk and feed dogs after 6:30pm. I’m currently working a full time job during the week and start my shifts at 8am, Mon-Fri. and can come back after 6pm. My schedule opens up fully on Sat-Sun. I’ll make sure they have access to full clean water and take them out for walks. I’ll keep them safe from other dogs, owners, or cars and treat your pet with the utmost care and respect.
“Sarah is wonderful! I have two cuddly, social cats who enjoy human interaction while I’m gone. Sarah is a great communicator, shared plenty of pictures and updates, and my girls loved her. It was so nice to know my cats were in great hands.”
“Danielle once again takes fantastic care of our kitties. She does a great job of taking care of them and is wonderfully observant of their behavior while she is here.”
About: I'm 31 years old and have always loved animals. I’m a biologist working in river restoration for salmon and other native fish; hoping to make the planet a better place for all species! I used to have three dogs of my own and a childhood cat. Since they've passed I’ve recently adopted two kitties from the shelter, Groot and Rocket :) they’re my bestfriends and I couldn’t imagine life without them. I'm very familiar with all the demands of having to take care of a pet and promise to take great care of your besty :) Pets are an important part of the family and deserve the best care possible. I accept all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I'm looking forward to doing business with you and can't wait to get to meet your little gal or guy! Thanks so much! Have a great day :) I currently work a 9am to 5pm job as a fish biologist but can check on animals before work or after work and can do anytime on the weekends! Also with enough notice and make my hours a little more flexible depending on the situation. Whether it’s my own home or a clients it should be treated with respect and that is my plan to treat everyone’s home with respect. Only go where I’m instructed to and not to over step boundaries.
“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!”
About: I have had pets all my life and I’ve been housesitting since I was 16 years old in high school. Now I’m a 27 year old Davis graduate who is still eager to help out with furry family’s in the community. I used to work with cats, and I have two of my own now, so I have quite a lot of experience with them. I had dogs growing up, and I've been taking care of other's dogs for the last 11 years. I have experience with oral medication for both dogs and cats. I have a bit of experience in pain management medications and scheduling. I have experience with anxious dogs and older dogs ranging from small to medium-large. I am often a busy person, so for me the most important aspect of working together is communication and honesty. If I feel like I can’t provide the services you are looking for, I will let you know quickly and truthfully. I know how scary it is to leave behind your pets and I want all of my clients to know I have their best interest in mind when booking. I am currently between jobs and taking a couple of online courses so I have a fully open and flexible schedule. I live in Davis and have my own cats that I attend to and love on, but I am also helping foster cats with my friend in Sacramento. I am comfortable in both Davis and Sacramento, and I spend a lot of time in both. I can always adjust my schedule to try and work something out that works for you and your pet. I have a fenced in yard and two cats that generally stay out of the way when a new friend is around. I live with one other person that is also very welcoming and friendly with new animals. We have plenty of places to explore with a decent sized backyard and 3 nearby parks. If I'm providing care in your home, simply explain what you're looking for and I will do my best to accommodate, or be honest if it's not something I can manage. Overnights and drop-ins should not be a problem as long as I can also drop in on my animals.
“Holly is simply the best. She is communicative, accommodating, and attentive to my cat’s needs. She also takes amazing photos of my cat during her visits. Highly recommended!”
“Craig was great! He responded quickly to my booking and was available the next day for a meet and greet to meet my pups. I appreciated he was available so last minute, it really saved the day! He was friendly, on time, and great with the pups. I would definitely use him again!”
“Thank you for always taking such amazing care of our animals! You've even been there for spur of the moment drop ins so many times! We appreciate you and so does Jas Benji and Nala. Thank you for everything Carrie!”
American River Parkway pet parents share their Rover experiences
Morgan was AMAZING! I highly recommend her. I was traveling to Sacramento with my service dog for one night. I did not want to take him to the event I was attending because I knew it would be too loud for his ears. Morgan came and met us, at our hotel, on her way home from work so she wouldn’t be a stranger when she arrived later in the evening. My dog instantly fell in love with her, he is usually super shy, but went right to her and was really relaxed with her. She spent the evening in our hotel room taking great, attentive care of him. I am very grateful and I highly recommend her. Thank you Morgan!! 💗
I can’t thank Arianna enough for her great care of my two shy kitties while I was on vacation. This was the longest I’d ever had to leave them and she quickly resolved all my fears. She was patient and highly communicative and takes great photos! The boys warmed up and she was very thoughtful. Ariana even helped with a couple of small things that popped up at the house when I was gone. Can’t wait to book again and highly recommend!!! Thank you Arianna!
I highly recommend Bao for your pet sitting needs! Bao was professional and communicative (asked questions). During the meet and greet, we knew Bao would be a great fit with her experience with senior cats and administering medication. During her drop-in visits, she was timely and provided detailed info. and photos. She made us owners feel reassured that our senior cat was in good hands! When we returned, our cat was happy as usual.
Jamiela checked in on our elderly dog Tika every day for the week we were away on vacation. She helped Tika go out to potty and spent time petting/massaging and brushing her. It was such a relief for me to have Jamiela checking in on her and allowed me to relax on vacation. My brother took care of Tika while we were gone, but had to work during the day and I was worried about Tika being alone all day, especiallywith the stress of my partner and I being gone. I would 100% book Jamiela again, she was super reliable and clearly cared about Tika and was comfortable with an elderly dog.
Karli is an amazing petsitter! I would highly recommend to anyone for cat sitting. She has taken care of my cat twice now and I feel extremely comfortable with her. She sends detailed updates about my cat's behavior with each visit, along with videos and pictures. She also left my place absolutely spotless and was very considerate and communicative throughout.
Mary was amazingg! We have two cats, and they both absolutely loved her. She took great care of them, sent us updates and the funniest pictures, she made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again ❤️
Broneka was so thoughtful, kind, and patient with my Australian Cattle dog. My Sky can be picky with strangers but she clicked with Broneka immediately. She came to my house for a meet-and-greet before doing drop-ins for three days. During that time, she played fetch and took my dog for a quick walk. Broneka sent daily pictures and was quick to respond via text. Already planning on booking my next drop-in. Couldn’t recommend enough 10/10!
Sage went above and beyond my expectations! She took such good care of my cat and dog, they were obviously well loved and fed. My house was cleaner than when I left and I would recommend her highly to anyone. Communication was excellent and I received constant pictures and notes as to what was happening at home. All in all a superb experience.
I needed someone to drop in a couple of times per day to care for my two cats while I visit Thailand and Kyra came through in a pinch with just one week left! She was prompt with her responses and we were able to set up a meet and greet to go over the care details soon after. During the drop in visits, Kyra socialized with my cats in addition to feeding them and cleaning the litter boxes. She provided daily updates with pictures and descriptions of how they’re doing. She really cares about the cat’s well being and will try her best to take care of them. I would definitely book her again.
We had such a great experience with Ana Carolina caring for our two dogs while we were away for the day. She came to meet us and the dogs for a meet and greet the day beforehand, and was so warm and kind. She was immediately great with both our dogs who have very different personalities! She was prompt with her visits and made sure to maximize their play time. We felt very comfortable leaving them in her care, and will be happy to book her again soon!
I HIGHLY recommend Svetlana! She is absolutely wonderful with our cat, who can be a little feisty and needs lots of play and attention. Svetlana does a wonderful job taking care of her while we’re gone and making sure she gets all of the exercise and attention that she needs. We were gone for 10 days at one point, and often our cat will break out in dermatitis when she’s stressed, and even after 10 days, she showed absolutely no signs of stress which I 100% contribute to Svetlana’s care and attention. Svetlana also brought in our mail, charged cat toys, and took wonderful care of our home while we were away, giving us daily updates and photos. I could not recommend Svetlana more!!!
