“Diego was fantastic with our Beagle boys, Royce and Baxter. Diego went above and beyond ensuring that the boys were cared for and keeping us informed daily. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“Jacqueline is incredible. She is very communicative. She came early and got settled with the dogs. The dogs loved her. She went above and beyond. Would absolutely use her again to doggy sit our dogs.”

“I have been using Rover for over 4 years and I have met some wonderful sitters, but Michele is seriously the best sitter I have had for Georgia. I appreciate her sincere demeanor and understanding with Georgia for her overall health and wellness. I also appreciated coming home to a clean house. She is one of the most considerate and thoughtful people I have met.”

“Christopher is a true dog lover and I feel fortunate to have found him to take care of my pack whenever I’m not around. I have a lot of attendant anxiety when trying to pair my dogs with a suitable sitter- for no other reason than that they need a lot of exercise and ask for a lot of attention. Christopher alleviated every ounce of attendant stress experienced by leaving my dogs in someone’s care. He took my dogs on outings, updated me with charming photos and was completely unflappable when it came to managing two high energy and young labs along with a corgi who needs to herd everyone to feel fulfilled. On top of all of this, Christopher took excellent care of my home- maybe even leaving it cleaner than I did for him. 5 stars for Christopher, absolutely!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, I’ve loved learning how each dog is different and what kind of care they need. I care for my own dog and family friends dogs as well. I am currently unemployed, while doing online schooling full time, I only have zoom meetings Monday and Wednesday from 1:30-2:50 but I am available anytime! I make sure to follow all the owner’s instructions carefully, provide fresh water and food on time, give lots of attention and play, and keep their home clean and safe for the pets. I also watch for any signs of discomfort or health issues and make sure the pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.

“Once again, my pets had a wonderful time with Lauren! She is the BEST pet sitter! My dog Luna and cat Juice were calm, happy and relaxed when I returned from my trip. Lauren cares so much about the pets she takes care of and really loves them up. She’s awesome and I will also book with her! Thanks, Lauren!”

“What a wonderful person! My dog absolutely loves her! And so do we. We felt so much better knowing our dog was with someone who would treat him like family. She even watered our garden while we were gone! She is a gem. If I could give her more stars, I would have! Thank you Susan!”

“Katie did a great job taking care of our dog. She was very responsive, and responsible. We really appreciate it’s the care that she gave our older 13 year old chihuahua.”

About: Hello I’m a dedicated, honest, and reliable pet sitter/walker. I have loved animals my whole life, my family has always had multiple dogs at a time. I was 16 when I started working at a doggy day care (called stay and play dog care), where I got to work around no less than 15 dogs at a time and I absolutely loved it. I was in charge of walking, feeding, training, playing and occasionally staying the night with them. I have the ability to walk up to 8 dogs at one. I left that job for schooling to become a Certified Veterinary Assistant, I am currently working in the veterinary field but I would love to pet sit in my free time. I have crates and a fenced yard for any time dogs will have to be left alone but I try my best not to leave them while they are in my care. I will care for your pet like one of my own. I am currently home full time so I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets while they’re in my care! While your pets are in my home they will have lots of toys to play with as well as fresh water in several different locations. I do recommend that you bring the food your pet is used to as the less change the better for your animals stress levels.

“Haley was a great house guest and sitter! Having never used Rover and being new cat owners, we were a bit nervous to use the service. Haley did a wonderful job putting us at ease... regular correspondence, pictures and updates of our little kitty. She truly is an animal lover, and responsible individual that we will continue to trust in the future!”

About: I’ve done pet sitting for family and friends for the last 4 years as well as worked two years at a boarding and daycare kennel, and have a few months of veterinary experience. I’m currently working part time, so I have weekends and my evenings after work open for dog walking, potty breaks, or boarding stays. My availability will vary weekly. I have a nice fenced yard free of anything that could cause harm. I lap have a sweet Australian shepherd who loves to play. I am able to crate your dog if needed.

“Julia, was the best fur baby sitter yet! Our dog Lola absolutely ❤️❤️❤️’s her so much! She gives her the happy Dance, butt wiggle, groans of joy! Our cat, gives her kisses and Julia, gives us lots of updates with photos and all. We will definitely be booking with her again. You should too!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Currently, each of my family members is in a transitional stage of life (kids are in college), myself included (contemplating the next chapter), so none of us has any companion animals for the time being. Fostering has filled the gap somewhat and I’ve found that pet & house sitting does, too! I was an at-home wife & mom & spent my adult years homeschooling, volunteering, caretaking through cancer, organizing, and caring for a large home/pool/property &, of course, for our companion animals. I'm not a "neat freak," but I will leave another's home as it was found, or cleaner. I'm compassionate & nurturing by nature, so please feel free to let me know your needs and wishes. My schedule is entirely flexible, with advance notice. For those farther away: I love to travel and appreciate requests to sit in far-off locations; however, I must ask that either 15-30 days notice is provided for making arrangements (& finding affordable flight deals, which I will happily do & pay for, if the location is one I’d have visited anyway) OR that travel be paid for in full by the pet parent as part of the job. (Nightly rates can be adjusted to account for costs such as gas, flights, and/or ground transportation.) Please be mindful that international travel can cost into the thousands of dollars, may require more than 30 days for planning, and is not typically in my own budget. My passport is ready, though! I’m pleased to be being considered for this important job! Please know that I'll be available via phone/text (& trust that you will, too, at least for emergencies), would love to share pics if you wish (or would be happy to limit communication, if that's your preference), am adept at managing minor issues of urgency independently (but will confer with you if at all possible, as soon as possible), and will take seriously any necessary special precautions for the animals or the home (escape artists, meds, anxiety/sleep needs, food limitations, no off-leash time or things like mail/trash, off-limits rooms, a toilet that's out of use, plant handling, etc.). I'm largely a homebody and my primary goals are to be someplace new/different & be with your babies, so I will be present daily, including overnight if that’s what we’ve arranged, and will not host parties or people (unless one or both of my grown kids are with me, which we'll have discussed in advance). I might spend significant time studying if I'm taking a class (most likely online) and I may need to handle some of the tasks of daily life (getting groceries, etc.) during longer stays, but my priority will be to keep the animals and home you've entrusted me with safe, properly cared for, and tidy in your absence. That said, if there are places your buddy(ies) wanna go (trails, beaches, dog parks, obedience classes, the groomer's, etc.), we'll get out of the house and get our energy out! (And if slow/short walks or lots of lap time are what's in order, we'll readily do that, too.)

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and have over 15 years of experience caring for them. I’ve also volunteered with the Humane Society and multiple rescues, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I work remotely, which means I’m home and available to give pets lots of attention, care, and playtime. I work remotely, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day for consistent care, attention, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins as needed, and I’m flexible with scheduling to fit your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daytime care, overnights, or extended stays, I’m able to provide a reliable and low-stress environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment and always follow each pet’s routine closely. With my experience volunteering at the Humane Society and pet rescues, I’m comfortable handling a variety of temperaments, including shy or anxious pets. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, and behavior cues, and I always communicate updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I've taken excellent care of dogs, cats, and livestock for the past 25 years. Neighbors, friends and my own family have always been able to rely heavily on me to take great care of their pets. I've also got my own business page on facebook as well. I'm currently looking to expand my pet sitting and ranch care services, and am available pretty much any day of the week to provide my services. I don't offer to board other animals at my home for liability reasons. I have 1 horse, 2 dogs, and 1 cat. All 4 of my animals get pampered every single day with the best food that monet can buy, and all the love in the world from me. I'm currently not employed, and so am working on trying to expand my business as an animal care provider. You can also find me on facebook by searching for Kimi's Pet & Ranch Care Services. I treat each and every animal like they were my own. For example, I don't allow just anyone to come and take care of my 4 animals as I'm pretty protective of them, and would absolutely treat your 4 legged fur babies the same way

About: I’ve spent over ten years caring for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to wise seniors. I work as a shepherd and look after sheep, goats and dogs, which has helped me stay calm, attentive and aware of behavior, safety,and fun. I’m trained in safe handling, bite prevention, and canine behavior and I rely on positive reinforcement to support pets. I take the responsibility of caring for your furry family seriously, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Animals are part of my everyday life. I make sure pets get attention, walks, playtime, and companionship on a regular schedule so they’re happy and healthy. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. Pets are supervised, loved, and cared for with positive reinforcement so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I started my dogsitting business out of my home over 6 years abo and now I petsit at people's homes. Animals are more comfortable at their own home I also have been trained as a dog walker at the Sonoma County Animal Shelter and worked at a dog kennel (now closed...Anderson Acres) I'm a personal trainer that teaches people on Zoom so I am at home most of the day. I am an active person that loves walking dogs and own 2 rescues. I only care for animals in the owner's home. I do not board animals in my home. I make sure that all doors/gates are secure so no animal escapes.
