About: Why Your Dogs Will Love Staying with Me Are you looking for a place where your dog can feel at home while you’re away? Look no further! As a trusted dog sitter, I offer a unique boarding experience that makes every dog feel like part of the family. A Home Away from Home When you leave your dog with me, they won’t be stuck in a kennel or left alone. I welcome dogs into my home, where they become a part of our daily lives. They enjoy a comfortable, loving environment just like they would at home, with plenty of attention and affection. A Fun and Engaging Routine Dogs thrive on routine and play. That’s why I make sure each day is filled with fun activities. We start with playtime in the morning to get their energy out and have another session in the afternoon to keep them active and happy. In the evenings, we all hang out together, ensuring they get the companionship and relaxation they need. Tailored Feeding and Diet Care Feeding time is crucial, and I make it a smooth and enjoyable experience for each dog. I feed them separately to avoid any food fights and ensure they can enjoy their meals in peace. Plus, I stick to the feeding schedule provided by their owners, so they stay on their regular diet and routine. Focused on Comfort and Well-Being While I don’t handle specific training or behavior requirements, my focus is on providing a stress-free and comforting environment. Your dog will get the care and attention they need to feel secure and loved throughout their stay. By choosing my dog-sitting services, you’re giving your dog a happy and loving temporary home. Feel free to reach out to learn more or to schedule a stay for your furry friend! I work remote part time which allows me lots of time with your pets. We walk in the mornings and early evening with playtime in between. Evenings consist of hanging out watching movies and settling in for the night. I have a large fenced backyard for the dogs to play and a large deck to sunbath. Dogs always sleep inside in the evenings. feel free to bring a crate if your dog is crate trained.
“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”
“Nicque took very good care of my senior cat. She was able to earn her trust and give her medications. Nicque provided great communication and photos so I knew my cat was taken care of when I was gone overnight. Will be using her again soon:)”
“Brittany is amazing! She takes great care of my two large breed dogs (one puppy, and one senior). She is kind, great with the pups, and leaves great notes and pictures! I will definitely book her again!”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Sam and I would love to care for your animals while you are away! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been house sitting locally for over 6 years. I promise to provide a fun and loving environment for your animals and ensure their safety. My schedule is open and I’m happy to do drop- ins and stay with them for a few hours, overnights, walks, or anything else depending upon what you need. I’ll care for your pets with plenty of snuggles, walks, throwing a ball, help with training, and lots of love. I can crate and leash easily for comfort.

We have 5 acres of play space and a one friendly dog of our own to keep your pet happy and occupied. We also have pet beds, bowls, and toys available, or you may bring your own if your pet prefers. :)
“Nancy’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She’s responsive, eager to make sure all my animals are well taken care of. Whether it’s walking my rat terrier or making sure the heater is working so that they don’t get cold at night, she’s thoughtful and goes the extra distance. And she sends me pictures of the dog and cats at every visit in real time. She’s just wonderful.”
About: I have had pets my whole life, and my mom is a veterinarian. I currently have 3 dogs, a desert tortoise, and a bearded dragon and have taken care of goats in the past so I am comfortable taking care of any pet. I am currently working at Target on Bell Road. I am able to take care of pets at your house or take them for walks, but may need to leave them for 4-8 hours on some days. I hope I am a good fit and I can't wait to take care of your furry family members! I am able stay at your house but because I work at Target, I may need to leave the house for 4-8 hours every day. I am able to accommodate whatever your pet needs. And I am comfortable with crate training pets and giving oral medications. Since my Mom works in the veterinary industry she is available if I ever have a question about a pets care.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been cat sitting for a friend for the passed 3 years. I can handle giving medication and large dogs. I'm a Preschool Teacher during the day looking to help where I can. 😊 I work Monday through Friday, however I'm off fairly early at 3:30pm everyday so afternoons, evenings, and weekends are free. I have no pets anymore so they will have all the attention! There is a lovely creek that runs through my complex for walks and plenty of toys and energy! And for the older furr babies they are more than welcome on the furniture for cuddles. I also have treats if they are okay for their diet 😊 I have experience with giving medication as well if need be.
About: Not only do I have 10 years of experience of pet sitting, I have experience working with shelter dogs. I’ve been with Placer SPCA as a volunteer for many years. I work with fearful, excitable, shy and even reactive dogs on a weekly basis. I make sure to give them the best care I can provide. I have plenty of free time and my shelter schedule is very flexible! I spend most of my time caring for pets or working with animals. I am someone that you can contact last minute for pet sitting! I will make sure that your pet gets all the love, care and attention your best friend could possibly need. I provide mostly overnight care, in which I make sure your pup is cared for in the same way you do every day. Building trust is very important to me, I’ll make sure to send pictures of your dog (or other animals) along with a report of how they are doing and any other info you may need.
About: CURRENT PROMOTION: first booking clients will get 15% off their entire cost of care!!! I’ve had/cared for a variety of pets for many years. Not only have I owned many dogs at once, as well as cats, but I’ve also been a go to sitter for many other pets for neighbors etc! I love animals and would love to spend some time loving your pet! I am happy to do some light cleaning, bring in the mail, clean up poop in the backyard as well, just ask! Work schedule fluctuates from full time to part time, if you are looking for a pet sitter/dog walker I’m your person! My work scheduled fluctuates which allows me to be flexible with your pets needs.

“Melissa went above and beyond during her house sitting for me. She’s communicative, reliable, and she even cleaned my apartment for me, which was extremely kind and appreciated. I trust my cats with her and I would book again with Melissa in a heartbeat.”
About: Living with Family for the Summer in LOP. I’m proud to be giving my dog unconditional love and the best life I possibly can, just like I’ll do for your loved one while they’re in my care. Your support is much appreciated! God bless Hello! I just recently relocated to the Auburn area. I love to frequently walk, go to the dog park and hike with my dog Abbey (Yorkiepoo, 3yo). Hopefully your animal enjoys that too! In our home we have two dogs and a cat to help keep your pet company (all very friendly with other dogs or cats). They will have constant attention and love available to them.
“We are very pleased and so appreciative of Katelyn and Brock. Rhiannon and Shadow were well taken care. I got daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away for 5 days. GREAT people! Would definitely ask them to watch my cats again.”
“Dillon was is just what we have been hoping to find in a caregiver for our cautious and smart Border collie, Spud. He is the one who she will be caring for on future visits so she has been given him time to decide if he likes her. We are very pleased how she has not rushed him, but is giving him just enough attention to let him know that she is a friend. We are happy with the results she is having with our very cautious, fearful dog. He generally barks and backs off from anyone who he does not know, but we can see that he is already beginning to warm up to Dillon. We are very pleased with the progress so far. Thank you Dillon!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,832 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Applegate. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Applegate stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Applegate. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
