“Melissa and family were friendly, welcoming, and took great care of our dogs. Their property is well maintained, safe, and beautiful. And both of their labs are very sweet and gentle. I’m so thankful we found such lovely people to take care of our two fluffy doggos. 🥰”


“We came into town from the Bay Area and wanted to do some whitewater rafting that wouldn’t allow dogs. Sara was kind of enough to watch our 12 pound shih tzu. Sara asked for his vaccinations records to make sure no dog would get sick, which was very reassuring to us. We felt very comfortable leaving him there and believe he had a lot of fun at her place playing with the other dogs. Sara checked in multiple times with updates and pictures and was very accommodating when we asked to pick him up an hour later than originally discussed. If we come to the area again and need a dog sitter, we won’t hesitate to reach out to Sara. We highly recommend her!”


“Brittni was super responsive, accomodating, and friendly. I'm grateful for her openness to not only take my dog in for the day, but my friend's as well, last minute. Her space is big and can handle many dogs, and it felt good leaving my pup with her knowing they were with an animal lover and had plenty of space to play.”


“Elaine, treated Cruz like one of her own. She gave her lots of love and attention. Cruz had such a great time with her and her pups that she didn’t want to leave each day, and was ecstatic going back each morning. Elaine provided us with great pics and detailed updates. So thankful to know that Cruz had a wonderful week of daycare with her!!”


“Alexa is very good and very kind to and for our Archie. She kept us updated on Archie all day long. Thank you Alexa for the ton of kindness you showed Archie. We will use Alexa again, many times. Patti & Dusty”


About: I've grown up with dogs and cats. Animals seem to gravitate to me. I can also help with training issues, as I've been around animals my whole life. I have my own dog, who loves everyone, the dog park, swimming and playing ball. I am available anytime during the day from 9-6, although very flexible and could start and end according to the needs. I am very responsible and reliable. safety of course is number one priority. I can house sit and play or just hang out if needed. My dog is rarely left home alone. He loves the car so I take him with me when I can..

“We had to find a sitter for one day for Issa, our German Shepard. We were able to drop her off early and pick her up the same day. Elisabeth made the arrangements very accommodating. Our puppy played in the water and seemed to have had great day. We would love to have her watch Issa again.”

About: I have always had dogs/animals. We have 5 dogs of our own. We also foster with a local rescue. We specialize in the squish face breeds. We completely understand climate control. We love to exercise outside and go out often to romp. I am currently working remote part of the time (office days are Tues/Thurs). We typically always have someone home and the dogs are likely never alone for more than a 2-3 hour period. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play! We do not have a fenced yard, so our preference would be dogs that are not a flight risk! We can use a flexi leash for potty breaks but that would limit outside play for our guests. We live on 2.5 acres with a lot of grass to romp and play. Our dogs do not go outside unless supervised.

About: Im so excited to be working for you! What a treat to be able to love on your beautiful babies! I enjoy pet sitting so much because just like people, animals have their own personalities and it’s really neat for me to discover them in all the little fur friends I get to meet. I am good natured and loving and your pet will notice that right off the bat. I’m caring and compassionate and you won’t have to worry about your babies while I am there. I enjoy overnight stays because I know it’s important for them to be “at home”. It’s easy for me to feel at home wherever I go! I have a kitty and he stays home and is very content with that. He is a super friendly 15 lb MainCoon that has a very sweet personality. He’s always up for belly rubs. He does not accompany me on any of my stays or visits. I have several families that aren’t on rover that I just love so much. So their reviews aren’t on here. But if you need references, please let me know. I’m grateful for the opportunity to hang out with your fur family and know that you can rest easy knowing they are in good hands, I am open to visits and check ins or even long weekends or vacations. It would be great to come to you. Take a vacation and relax knowing your home and sweet babies are being lovingly cared for. Unfortunately I am unable to board any pets at this time. I don’t have the needed space to accommodate them. Thank you so very much!

About: Experienced with all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I give loving, reliable care with updates, patience, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — I have a flexible schedule and plan my day around pet visits to ensure each animal gets reliable, on-time care. I treat every pet like family, following their routine closely to ensure comfort and safety. I keep environments clean, calm, and secure, with plenty of love and attention.

About: I am a passionate dog owner and animal lover. RN and handyman by trade. I run a small campground on our property. We've always had dogs growing up, and we currently have a Border Collie puppy. We have a large property with trails for walks and a fenced in back yard. I love going for walks/runs with dogs around the yard. Since I work from home with no set schedule and will only be watching 1 or 2 dogs at a time they will have my full attention. A minimum of two 30 minute leashed walks per day (likely more) as well as off leash play time in the fenced in area. We have a fenced in backyard that pets can freely roam around. Backyard has shaded areas and a sprinkler if it's hot out. There's a doggy pool on the deck as well. They can also hang out in my office with me which has a king bed and lots of toys. The rest of the property is unfenced, but has a large field and trails to walk around. Our vet is located 10 minutes away: pleasantvalleypetclinic.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 12. My friends, neighbors, and family have utilized my skills to care for their pets, take dogs on walks, and make them feel loved! I love hiking, and really enjoy taking pups on long walks!! I just finished up my degree at UCLA, and have an extremely flexible schedule! My day(s) will revolve completely around your pets and their care! I spend as much time as possible with your pup(s). I ensure that your pets safety is my top priority and concern. I keep in contact with you regularly and try to keep you worry free while you are gone! I work with you to keep up with any training that you want me to work on with your pups and I make sure to keep the routine the same while you are gone!!

“Twylla was amazing and went above and beyond. She was able to watch my dog and my sister's dog during my wedding. She accepted a special request to come pick the dogs up at the venue which allowed for my family to enjoy the day. Both dogs were well taken care of during their stay with Twylla!”

Debby G.
“Debby has cared for our girl, Saffi, many times over the past five years, and we’ve never had a moment of worry when she’s with her. Debby is incredibly attentive—she takes Saffi on walks, plays with her, and gives her the love and attention she needs. Saffi is a very shy dog and doesn't usually warm up to people easily, but Debby has a special way with animals. From the very beginning, Saffi felt comfortable around her. Now, she runs to Debby the moment she sees her!”
