About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. It’s always been a passion of mine to take care of animals. I have dreamed of working with animals since I was young. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am experienced in providing oral medications for dogs as well. Many friends and family members have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and take care of their pets. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available everyday of the week to walk, (I have two kids, so if the pups are kids friendly, I can bring my kids. If not kid friendly, I am available at 6pm or anytime after). I am available to dog sit (daily care or overnight) Friday-Mondays as of right now. My listing states I need two days in advance for a booking, but I understand sometimes things come up that we do not expect and people need services last minute. Please do not ever hesitate to reach out. Safety is my number one priority. We live on two and a half acres and have a lot of room for animals to play and explore. I do not leave my dogs unattended outside and I would not leave your dog alone outside either. I am very cautious with my dogs and I would give the same attention and cautiousness to any dogs under my watch as well. I always leash the dogs I care for when I take them outside, whether that’s to go for walks or just to go potty. I have plenty of toys and I always monitor my dogs when they play with them. I dispose of any toys that they tear into to make sure they do not ingest any parts of the toy. I have many dog beds and room inside for dogs to run and play. I do not mind animals on my furniture, I prefer them to be with me. My hallway is gated off as well, in case your dog has a special diet and needs to be fed separately. I also use this area for dogs to sleep at night if they are not crate trained. I tend to do separate feedings anyways just to be safe. My dogs are like my children and they get treated that way. I would do the same for my clients pets as well. The difference between taking your fur babies to a kennel and me is that I am home almost all day long, meaning your babies will get constant love and attention. Most kennels charge additionally for walks, one on one play time, and even group play. I spend time with my dogs (and those I care for), majority of everyday, until the late hours at night. I have two babies, my son is over a year old and my daughter is 8 months old. I do not leave them unattended with any dogs, not even my own. I do ask for you to let me know if your dogs are kid friendly. Even for dogs that are kid friendly, I am still extra cautious around children. It is better to be safe than sorry. This being said, that does not mean I will not give your fur babies the care and attention they need. I still do with my three fur babies everyday.

“Ciara did an amazing job with our very rambunctious puppy! She loved playing with Arlo! Parker is all out full energy all the time and Ciara handles her with calm and ease. She even gave her a bath after she got into some mischief in the backyard mud. Thank you:)”

“We loved the service, and from the pictures we can tell Dexter was well taken care of and he had a great time. He’s a pup so we were worried about how he would do with the other dogs but looked like he fit right in. Thanks Jon! Definitely recommend and would trust them again with our boy.”

“AMAZING! My Hazel loved her right away and she was great all day no worries :) Kim is caring and loving with the cutest girl Daisy, Hazel will definitely miss them!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was very young and have been caring for my own four cats for a few years. I also have experience with dogs and have had my own while growing up. While I don’t currently have one, since I knew I would be moving over the next few years, I would love to bring my experience and affection into your home for your furry companions. The dog pictured is my Mom’s. He loves when I visit and is always down for cuddles and a walk I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet making sure they’re loved, fed, and groomed during any absence or as a helping hand. I work sparingly at this time and can devote myself to providing for your routine. I’m responsible and flexible, making sure your pets needs are met during routine visits. I want nothing more than for my clients to know their fur babies are cared for and regularly checked on.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for more than 8 years. I currently have 2 Dobermans of my own along with caretaking 3 chihuahua whom are very friendly. I am available from 8am-5pm. I am available weekly if you need overnight caretaking and need a quick getaway, I am more than happy to do so. I have a fenced open yard. Two fur babies that are super friendly, so your babies would not be lonely. I am able to crate your baby if needed.

“Estefany was very nice when receiving my very energetic baby. She send us picture and keep us updated on how he was doing and over all a great sitter. I would definitely be booking for future trips.”

About: I’m a certified veterinary assistant that’s been working with pets medically/professionally for over 7 years. I live in Modesto, CA but work at a vet clinic in Stockton Thursday night - Monday morning. If I have work I will be taking your pet back and forth with me. I am more than willing to allow you in my house to take a look around as well as sharing temporary locations via Apple or life 360. Feel free to call or text for updates. I work from 9am-6pm (and sometimes over-time) about 5 days a week. Please contact me directly to see if our schedules are a potential match. No exceptions, your pet MUST be okay with dogs and cats. It’s highly recommended that they be on flea/tick/heartworm preventatives but it’s a definite no if fleas or ticks are spotted on your pet. I cannot accept any big dogs at this time due to my apartment regulations. Big breaded puppies are okay but I would not be able to be a long-time pet sitter for your big baby. My pets are very friendly with others so I usually have your pet out and about with mine, under supervision. When it comes time for me to go to work, I usually take my boarder with me so they aren’t alone and unsupervised. It’s also highly recommended that your pet be kennel trained because I usually do try to kennel them over night for the safety of themselves, my pets, and my property. Some pets are okay overnight and a kennel is not needed but it really depends on the pet and how they do 😊

“Mary was awesome! I felt at ease knowing she helps foster dogs and cats. She responded quickly and promptly and was able to meet all my needs! I would definitely recommend Mary!”

About: Hi, I’m Maddy! Throughout my life I have had dogs, cats, goats, chickens, and bunnies. At 12 years old, I personally trained my Labrador retriever to work as a therapy dog. We visited schools in our area, and children with reading disabilities had the opportunity to read to her without feeling the pressure of an average classroom setting. I gained my true love for dogs through Lila. I sadly had to put her down about 6 years ago, and have moved to the city of Oakdale. I saw what amazing companions they can be, and how they deserve the very best. My husband is a local firefighter and gone a lot, so I have the flexibility and time to care for your pets as if they were my own. I also have experience as a veterinary technician, and feel fully comfortable dealing with medications or any type of medical disability. Thank you for your time and consideration! I am also a stay at home mom, so my goal is to create a lifestyle where I am able to be home with my son and have a flexible work schedule. At this time I am available 7 days a week from 6:30am-9pm. Same day bookings are available, but advanced notice is appreciated. I have two dogs at home, Sam and Enzo. Sam is a chocolate Labrador and Enzo is a mixbreed that my husband adopted a few years ago. These boys are our life. They have and will always be treated as family. I truly have a passion for animals, and you can expect the same for any animal I care for.

About: I’ve always had pets of my own all different breeds and sizes. I’ve taken care of many of my clients pets from senior homes when needed. I walk, feed, bathe, play and love pets as my own. I currently work part time so I have a lot of availability I also only live about 5 minutes from my job so it’s never an issue. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, exercise, and a clean environment. I closely monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are comfortable and stress-free while their family is away. I also provide lots of affection and companionship, treating every pet with the same care, patience, and love that I give my own pets. Most importantly, I carefully follow every detail and direction requested by the owner so their pet receives personalized care tailored to their needs.

“Ana is absolutely phenomenal! Vaylah definitely enjoyed her time cause she was wiped out when I picked her up! Ana sent tons of photos and videos during the day too which was so nice!! Highly recommend!!”

“Im so thankful I found Nikita on Rover. She was my first sitter I found on here and I can say I had a great experience with her. She kept me updated all day with Pepper. My dog seemed he was at home with her. I will be coming back to her in the future. Thank you Nikita ❤️”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! From dogs to small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, I’ve grown up understanding that every pet has their own personality, needs, and special place in their family’s heart. I’m also a master’s-level mental health therapist, so patience, compassion, attentiveness, and building trust are a big part of who I am, both personally and professionally. I’m currently a proud dog mom to Squirrel, my sweet senior rescue. Caring for her has given me an even deeper appreciation for the importance of consistency, patience, and understanding an animal’s individual needs, especially as they get older. I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your furry family member. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply enjoys a slower pace, I believe in meeting animals where they are and providing the attention, affection, and respect they deserve. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re family, and I’ll treat them with the same kindness and consideration I would want for my own. One of the perks of my schedule is that I work from home as a telehealth therapist, which allows me flexibility throughout the week! I have Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays completely free from client sessions, giving me plenty of dedicated time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality one-on-one attention. During the rest of the week, I also have breaks between appointments that allow me to accommodate additional pet care needs, depending on availability. Because I work remotely, I may also be able to provide extended companionship and a consistent presence for pets who are comfortable relaxing while I work. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to provide reliable, attentive care that fits their individual needs. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As both a pet parent and a mental health professional, I understand the importance of trust, consistency, and creating a calm, supportive environment. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their established routines and follow their family’s instructions closely. This includes feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medication instructions when applicable, and any special considerations related to age, temperament, or health. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, boundaries, and comfort level rather than rushing interactions or expecting every pet to respond the same way. I also believe communication is essential. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, thoughtful care that helps your pet feel safe and gives you peace of mind.
