“Jace was fantastic! He took great care of my pit bull Dottie while I was away. He kept me up to date with photos and highlights each day. He was friendly with my neighbors who witnessed him walking Dottie regularly. Jace was an excellent house guest who left the place better than when he arrived. I would 100% recommend Jace, he is a true animal lover. Thanks again!!”

“Sara is the absolute best! She was extremely helpful, flexible, and easy to communicate with. We did have a housing issue arise, and she was very flexible and easy to work with to resolve the issue. She was very professional and timely and my animals loved her. She took excellent pictures and action shots of my pets and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. would definitely recommend her services and be a repeat client.”

“Abigail took care of our 6 year old dog, who is recovering from knee surgery, and our 8 month old puppy for a day. She really helped me out, and I am grateful she was able to accommodate my schedule changes. Thanks, Abigail.”


About: I have experience of 5 years as a cat owner and have been volunteering at the Fresno Animal shelter with dogs of all sizes for 2 years now. I have been trained to understand and report dog behavior. I work to provide enrichment for dogs through walks and yard play, while building bonds. Additionally I have done foster care with them for cats of all ages. I have experience in kennel, hallway, and outdoor cleaning of pets. As well as providing pets with their prescribed medications. I am a full time student but currently on summer break from June to August! I am available weekdays and Saturdays for drop in visits from 6am-10pm. I can house sit weekends and weekdays if needed. I am available for dog days walking as early as 6am and as late as 8pm. Due to Fresno weather I will not walk dogs between 10am-5pm! I will follow instructions given and ask any questions before being left alone with your baby. I strongly believe in communication between us to report any issues or follow up questions in a timely manner. I value punctuality, whether it’s providing medications on time or arriving from a walk. I will clean up after them and ensure their used areas are clean!
“We had Kaitlyn watch our pups twice and each time she was just amazing. The second stay was a longer stay and she put us at ease with constant check ins and pictures. We think our dogs loved her more than us at times 😅 highly recommend her to watch your furry friends!”

“Wow! What a relief to have found Victoria! She is kind and sweet, loves animals and was so sweet to mine! I was able to go on a last minute trip with my family and relax knowing they were in good hands!”

“Thomas is Amazing! He is kind, considerate and very conscientious. He has been phenomenal with my 4 cats, which has been a HUGE relief for me because I have never left them for more than one day. Now I don't have to worry, which is Everthing!! Thomas sends me pictures and updates almost daily which gives me such peace of mind! I really appreciate him and feel like I've found my forever cat sitter in Thomas!”

“Kaitlin did an outstanding job house and pet sitting for us. It was our first experience with Kaitlin. She was professional, responsible, and communicates well. She was on time and read through our instructions and did all that we asked. Our home was left neat and tidy, and our pets were worn out from all the play time they had with her. She paid attention to our cat who can be over looked or passed by because our golden loves to be the center of attention all day long. And that is much appreciated! She did a great job managing and loving on each of our pets individually. We will hire Kaitlin again.”

“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Our cats are typically very anxious and don’t warm up to new people easily, but she was incredibly patient and gentle with them. By the end of our trip, they were comfortable and even snuggly with her, which really says a lot. She treats your pets like her own and consistently goes above and beyond what’s asked. As anxious pet parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also provided regular, detailed updates, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pets and will definitely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, understand their quirks, and keep you sane while you’re away—she’s it. 10/10, no notes.”

About: I am a big time dog lover, with lots of experience under my belt. I have grown up with lots of dogs and continued my passion for animals by become a dog trainer. I have been a certified dog trainer for 6 years, I worked at a board and train facility, and the last 4 years I have trained service dogs for a nonprofit. I am certified through Animal Behavior College, Service Dog Coach, and the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers as a trainer and dog behaviorist. I only use positive reinforcement with my clients and their dogs. If you would prefer I use aversive equipment such as a prong, choke or shock collar, or aversive techniques I would prefer you find a different dog walker. If you are open to using positive equipment, I can give you more detailed information on equipment I recommend when I meet you and your dog. If you have any questions please reach out, I would love to help you and your four legged friend! I can be very flexible with my schedule. Please send requests early, and check my calendar for availability. My availability may be subject to change but if you are a recurring client I will work with you to find the best time that fits both of our schedules and needs. I treat and care for the dogs as if they were my own. I understand how unsettling it can be to put your dog in the hands of a stranger. So you will be getting lots of updates and if you have any concerns or questions please communicate them to me.
Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jace was wonderful! I felt very comfortable from the start having him pet sit my dogs in my home. He has great communication and was giving me updates and pictures of my pets. I could tell learning them, their behaviors and quirks was important to him and for them to be comfortable with him. I'm definitely going to be using Jace again for his services. Would highly recommend!
