“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my cat for me. The level of care that went into watching her was amazing and the care she had for my apartment was so unbelievably kind. The lock to my front door broke and after informing me of the situation contacted maintenance and had them fix it in my absence while ensuring she was there to look after Eden when it was being changed. On top of this the awesome photos and videos made it a wonderful and stress free experience and I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Sarah demonstrates exceptional professionalism in pet care. She graciously accepted my last-minute reservation during the holiday season, and I am deeply appreciative of her assistance. During our final meet-and-greet, she provided me with a comprehensive overview of the Rover platform. Her thorough updates were invaluable. Notably, when I inadvertently missed her call regarding a question, she demonstrated remarkable self-sufficiency in making appropriate decisions. Furthermore, she went above and beyond to ensure Lilo’s well-being during a power outage in my area, bringing in packages left at my doorstep. I eagerly anticipate continuing this partnership with Sarah on Rover.”
“Terisa was wonderful! She took wonderful care of my sweet kitty, and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy. She sent me plenty of update and pictures, and I'm so grateful. Thank you, Terisa!”
“Laura is a natural with my cat Joy. Joy took to her immediately and loved play time. Laura arrived on time and followed directions about closing a crazy door. I was at home because of a health situation when Laura came by. I can't say enough about how comfortable I am with Laura being in my home and caring for my fur baby. Laura, thank you!!!!”
“Diana is the best! Our Jack Russel Halo loved her. We really appreciate the love she gave Halo over the weekend. Would highly recommend her and will ask her to dog sit Halo again.”
“Cheyenne was an amazing cat sitter!! She committed to helping us out super last minute and had great communication while we were out of town. She sent beautiful photos and updates on each kitty which made me feel confident they were in loving, caring hands. We highly recommend Cheyenne for all of your pet sitting needs! We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs (and cats) my entire life. Trained, love and traveled across the US with my animals in tow with me. We currently have two dogs, Ozzy & Bear. I am retired and love to garden, travel and play with our dogs! We moved back to the Sacramento Area recently and would like to do something fun and thought pet sitting would fit perfect. No pet sitting at our house. Animals need to be in their own environment where it is safe and they are comfortable with their own toys & bed.
About: I’ve been a pet lover for as long as I can remember. Pets aren’t just animals—they’re part of the family and deserve the best care possible. I’ve been caring for family pets since I was 13, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages. I especially love working with young puppies and watching them grow and learn through training. At the same time, older dogs always surprise me with how smart and unique they are. Whether your pet needs fresh water, food, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll be there to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I currently work a part time jobs with kids but am looking for on my free time during the week another way to increase my income and there’s nothing better to do than something u enjoy and for me that’s animals weekends I usally work 430-830pm or 945am-3 week days I’d 345-830 I usally work about 3 days a week I will care for your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. I make sure they always have fresh food and water, get plenty of exercise, and feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and relaxed. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or training routines. I also make sure to give lots of affection, playtime, and companionship so your pet never feels lonely while you’re away. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
About: My first best friend is my childhood puppy, respectful, loving caring and playful most of all my family, very loyal and honest and faithful, trust I am available at anytime or day, weekends and holidays, even overnights, even for last minute calls like emergency or etc. My home is where the heart is! I have a fenced huge backyard and also I have a huge home 4 bedrooms and where they can run free instead of a cage
About: I’ve always been around animals but ever since I was 13, I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends and family. I’ve helped with bathing them, walking them, playing with them, and feeding them. Currently I work in the daytime, so I’m almost always available everyday in the later afternoon and evening. I’ll have time to play and take care of your fur babies. I’m pretty energetic myself. I have a mini patio for outside time before or after walks, I also have my own two fur babies but they are very friendly and love to play. If your dog isn’t much of an active pup or becomes too anxious, I will gladly put my pups away separately, allowing your pup better space and comfort.
“Luke has been great with my little baby girl! She got excited seeing Luke in the first visit so I knew she’d love him! Thank you so much for making my weekend away a fun and safe one for my puppy! I hope to book with you again soon!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life & cannot imagine life without one. My current fur baby is a 4 year old black lab & I’ve learned a lot about dog training over the last 4 years. Dogs need physical and mental stimulation every day & they rely on their humans for everything. Please allow me to love, entertain, & care for your fur babies whenever you are not available. I’m happy to be their second best friend. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 humans & 1 Labrador Retriever. I am available weekdays before 3pm with some flexibility 3-5pm. Available for meet & greet Saturday or Sunday. I will take notes on any special instructions or requests you have. Every pet has a different play style & individual needs so I aim to treat each one in a way that makes them (& you) happy.
“Jenna was wonderful with my senior dog. She was very adaptable to his specific needs and asked thoughtful questions about his routine to make sure everything was done exactly right. Her updates were thorough and reassuring, and she took the time to sit with him and keep him happy and comfortable while I was away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely request Jenna again and highly recommend her to friends.”
“Jalisa was absolutely fantastic! She took such good care of Lilo while I was away. She was very reliable, communicative, and was available on such short notice! Jalisa kept me updated and provided photos that put my mind at ease. Lilo warmed up to her right away, which speaks volumes about her gentle nature. I came home to a happy, healthy kitty and a tidy house. Thank you Jalisa!!!”
About: I've taken care of animals from a young age and it has always been a passion of mine! I have mostly cared for my own cats and dogs, but recently have had some experience pet setting for family and friends. I'm an active person and would love to take your pup on long walks. I am also available for drop in visits and feedings for both cats and dogs. I am currently working partime, so I am available to care for your pets Tuesday/Wednesday any time, and after 1pm any other day of the week! I currently live in an apartment so I am unable to board any animals other than my own, but if you would like me to do drop in visits for your pet I am available! I can feed your animals, take them for walks, or just show them some attention while you are away!
About: I've always loved dogs growing up and learned to train them since I also have smart and energetic dogs who need playtime, socialization, love, and discipline. I just quit my corporate job so I have a lot of time and flexibility to play with your dog, take them to the park, go for a walk, or simply keep them company. I can drive to your house for visits, walks, or take them to the park. I can also take them to my place for boarding or playtime. I have a huge fenced backyard and a fenced pool as well if you'd like your dog to swim, we can arrange for this as well. I have 2 friendly dogs who will also keep your dog company.

I can't say enough great things about Johnna! She was incredibly patient, kind, and diligent in following my instructions. My dogs are quite shy and tend to be difficult with new people, but she managed to connect with them in a way that I've never seen before. She even found a way to play fetch with them, bringing out their playful sides and building a bond that I thought would take much longer. Her wonderful approach made a world of difference in their comfort levels. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and skilled dog sitter!
Jessica was fantastic! Very good communication and super friendly. Our cats unfortunately got into a fight while she was there and she broke it up swiftly and separated them appropriately, as well as updated me right away. She also had to do a last minute ask of giving my cat twice daily medicine after an emergency dental surgery and took it on well and with no gripes at all. She definitely knows what she’s doing and I highly recommend her!
Susan has cared for my cat several times, my cat likes her! He can be moody and Susan understands that. She plays with him, brushes him and doesn’t worry when he’s camera shy. He’s comfortable around her and she takes good care of him. I have the peace of mind that he’s okay when I’m away!

Alexandrea dropped in on our 2 big black labs for 3 days while we were traveling. She was always on time and very responsive. I had to add another drop in at the last minute and she was able to help us! I'm very grateful for her hard work and would be happy to use her again.
