About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I came into this world! Always watching over, loving, and caring for a variety of animals. At one point my family had 6 dogs to take care of and love! I have a very soft spot for elder animals and truly love caring for them! I love to watch and play with cats, and have experience cat sitting (usually 2 young male cats). I am currently a full time student, with a lot of free time throughout the week! I’d love to fill that time walking, playing, or spending time with your pet! I have a big fenced in backyard, front, and side yard that is perfect for playing! I have 2 roommates, both very loving and caring for animals similar to me! The space I live in is not noisy, and the overall space is very quiet. I love to play with animals and keep them active if that is desired by pet owners! I am very close to Bidwell Park which is perfect for long walks and getting energy out!
About: I will do everything to keep your dog safe, loved and comfortable!! I have taken care of dogs recently, I always make sure to give them the love and attention that they deserve if not more. I understand the feeling of leaving your dog at home while you are away and I want to continue to be the person people feel safe and secure to leave their dog at home or with me. I have a dog that loves too play as well so making friends is never a worry for him. I currently work part time, but after 1pm I am available. I do have some errands I do but doesn’t usually last for more than an hour. I am a student as well and attend online classes on Mondays but it won’t a disturbance. I am available on weekends for boarding or pet sitting at someone’s house as well. I live in a small apartment but have three room in which one isn’t being used. There is a big grassy area behind my apartment that I usually take my dog to and we do lots of long walks. There is plenty of of space for your fur baby and even though I have cats they like to be in one room so they wouldn’t be a bothers
“Alyssa is a very responsible, reliable pet sitter! She took great care of my 2 babies while we were gone for the weekend. She gave very detailed rover cards and lots of pictures. Definitely recommend using her to watch your fur babies!”

About: I have worked with all types of animals, breeds and personality types. I’ve done dog walking/pet sitting for about 6 years and absolutely adore it! I am comfortable with any special needs or unique temperaments. (Most of my experience has been off this app, hence my lack of reviews… I am more than happy to provide references individually!) I’m currently available anytime during the day or night, weekdays and weekends. I can do overnights as well. As long as we plan ahead all should be good! I have a lot of time to stay with the pets in their own home so they will have lots of stimulation and attention! I love taking them anywhere they love, walking around the neighborhood, trips to dog beach, or supervising play dates with their furry friends!
“He was attentive with my cats, playing with them and making sure they felt comfortable and happy. The pictures helped ease my mind while on vacation. Would recommend to anyone with pets!”

“Sabre is the best! She gave our 2 small dogs and 1 cat the best care while we were on vacation. She played with them, snuggled, and gave them love while we were gone. She even got our shy baby to warm up to her! She is very sweet, professional and willing to work with you to provide the best care your fur babies need ❤️”


About: I grew up in a home that had dozens of animals, all well cared for and loved beyond belief. I have years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, and I have always loved to care for them. Pets provide us with so much love, comfort, and protection, and they deserve the same, from anyone they meet. As a caretaker, I promise to treat all animals compassionately, lovingly, and with kindness. I am confident in my ability to provide specialized care to animals with disabilities or medical needs. I have experience administering medications to pets, as well as bathing, grooming, cleaning ears and teeth, and more. I currently work 8 AM, to 2PM. So anytime after 2:30 my schedule is reserved for animal care! My only exception is Tuesday afternoons, 2:30- 3:45 pm. Tuesday evenings are wide open! As a caretaker who does drop-ins, I will provide a list of tasks that I will take care of each visit. This will include for dogs, taking on a short walk, providing a meal, ensuring water bowls are full, cleaning up waste in the yard, administer medications if necessary, and lots of love and play time! For cats, I can provide a walk if requested, meal time, refill any and all water bowls, clean cat box or accidents, and provide love and playtimes!
“Second time booking Dawn and couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our kittens. She is so caring and attentive, and my very shy kittens feel comfortable around her. She always spends time with them for a little, and takes care in preparing their food. Will definitely book again and recommend her to everyone!”


About: About Me Hi! My name is Jalyssa, and I’m a 19-year-old Animal Science major currently in college with a huge passion for animal care and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve had my own dog for 15 years, where I was actively involved in daily care, training, feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure all of their needs were met. Along with caring for my own pets, I also have experience pet sitting for others and helping raise puppies and kittens, so I’m comfortable with animals that need extra patience, attention, and routine. As someone studying Animal Science, I genuinely love learning about animal health and behavior, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m looking for something productive that keeps me busy while also allowing me to do something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with and caring for animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their specific routines and needs. I pay close attention during walks, feeding times, playtime, and interactions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have gone through dog behavioral training courses with my own dogs, and have volunteered with the Humane Society to socialize kittens. I have two cats, who are happy and healthy. I work from home part time, so I have time throughout the day for drop-in care and dog walking, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I am available both weekdays and weekends, and can be flexible to work with your schedule. I treat my clients home with respect and care. I will follow your directions and be attentive to your needs and requests. Meet and greets are a good way to be on the same page about expectations of the service.

About: I have been taking care of my friends and family's animals since I was eight years old. I have been trusted with drop-ins, overnight stays, as well as just play time, and would love to do the same with your pets. I want to make sure your animals are happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I love animals and have two cats and a dog of my own. I am currently searching for a job, so my schedule is fairly open. Until I find a job my I have open availability to watch your pets! My home does not have a yard area, so I have to take my dog for many walks and to the park daily. I prefer to care for the animals in their own homes so they feel more comfortable.
“Ash has been our go-to dog sitter over the past couple of months. She's reliable and puts in real quality time with our dog. It's stressful to leave your pet for the weekend, and Ash has made it easier for us to relax when we're away. She's always in good communication and sends lots of pics.”

About: What sets me apart? I bring a mix of love, patience, and plenty of experience to every pet I care for! Whether it’s keeping up with energetic puppies, giving extra TLC to senior pets, or making sure everyone sticks to their routine (treats included, of course!), I’ve got it covered. Need meds given? No problem. Litter box deep-cleaned? Consider it done. Walkies or runs to get the energy out- even bettter (we can get fit together). My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and totally spoiled while you're away—because they deserve nothing less! Pet care fits into my routine seamlessly since I work from home and have a somewhat flexible schedule! This allows me to adapt to your pet’s needs—whether they thrive on a set routine, need a midday walk, or just want some extra attention while you’re away. I can easily adjust my day to make sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and happy. Plus, with me around, they’ll never feel lonely! 🐾💕 I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all my furry guests! I have a fully fenced-in backyard for playtime and fresh air, plenty of indoor space to relax, and even a large crate if needed. Your pet will also have some built-in company—I have three friendly cats and a dog of my own, so they’ll always have buddies around (unless they prefer their own space, which I totally respect!). Whether they love to run, lounge, or just get some extra snuggles, I make sure every pet feels right at home. 🐾💕

About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life, I’m aspiring to be a veterinarian so more experience with animals is always needed! I absolutely love dogs and cats. Im currently a full time student-athlete, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I am free weekends, from 6-12 on Mondays and Wednesdays, and 5-10 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am willing to learn how other owners take care of their animals! Since I am currently in college I don’t have any animals in my home.

About: We both had a family dog growing up. Trask is very active and loves going on dog walks/hikes. Emiko has cared for dogs throughout college. She also raised her Weimaraner mix dog since puppyhood until her passing at the age of (almost) 14. We still miss her greatly! We can usually arrange to be home full-time between the two of us, so your dog will have the attention your pet needs! We really love dogs. Trask is very good at being your dog's playmate! Emiko tends to say hi to every dog she passes-by. She is also pretty good at reading dog body language since she has dealt with a dog who had some behavioral issues. We try to educate ourselves reading dog training techniques/dog behavior books. If this is your first-time with us, we do require a meet-and-greet at no cost to you. Thank you for understanding. Thanks for looking, and we look forward to meeting you and your dog! We love evening walks but can accommodate more if needed. Just tell us know what the best schedule for your pet is. On the weekend, we are doing something outside whether it's gardening or going somewhere to hike. We would bring your furry along if you feel comfortable. We are also happy to stay around with your pet. If we are at your home, please give us all information we need to keep your pet happy and safe. For any booking, the more information you give us the better. It's important to tell us any reactivity that your pet may have.
“Thanks to Andy, I was able to enjoy my trip home because I knew my kitties were in good hands. Andy understands the work that takes into caring for an animal and did not take any shortcuts. She spoke with me on the phone before hand, wanted to meet me and my kitties in person to make sure they would like her and updated me throughout the entire weekend. She is polite, professional and a true animal lover who you can trust with your furry best friend(s).”

About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.

Deena was flexible, responsible and very aware of our dogs needs!! She went above and beyond to make sure our girl was taken care of and cooled off while we were visiting Chico and out mountain biking. We felt very comfortable having her at our air bnb without even meeting her. She also went above and beyond to give us local Chico recommendations for the rest of our visit. Would definitely use Deena again!! Thank you Deena!! Because of you we had the best day out on the trails.

Zackary went above and beyond with our dogs. When they were anxious he was patient and sat with them, and they quickly warmed up first visit. One of our dogs anxiety made her not want to eat, he sat down on the ground with so she felt more comfortable and she ate right away. He was great with communication and was so patient and involved every visit. He took the time to go out and play with them every visit. And always made sure they were settled and had everything they needed every time he left a visit. We hands down definitely will be booking with him again. I cannot recommend his services enough, he is truly caring and compassionate with animals.
Sienna did great with my kitties! I absolutely loved receiving pictures while I was away and it looks like they took a liking to her very quickly😊 I was so thankful to be able to leave town for a bit and know that my cats were in good hands, thanks Sienna! 🐾

I had a very last minute request and unique situation and Dominic was able to work with me and be flexible. Milo and Cooper seemed to really like him too! The only thing I would have wanted was maybe some more pictures, but other than that, Dominic was great. I would recommend him for watching your pup!
