House Sitting Citrona

“Ashlie was a wonderful house and pup sitter for our three big mixed breed dogs. She was very communicative (lots of cute photos of our babies!) and our pups had a great time with her. We will definitely be booking her again.”

About: I have owned cats all of my life and owned dogs the last 25 years of my life. I have owned a 70 pound Sulcata Tortoise and chickens as well. I currently have a two dogs in my home who are dog and cat friendly. I am retired so my schedule is very open. I am doing this to keep myself busy and happy as well as your animals! I prefer to do walking before 5pm. My home is air conditioned and the only humans inside are myself and my husband. I have a fenced backyard with full lawn. I have a dog door that animals can go in and out of freely.

About: I am currently an animal care assistant at a pet hotel where my main task is walking and taking care of animals straying with us! I also have been a vet assistant for a little under a year now but have handled numerous animals in my time! I would feed, clean, walk, and bathe as well as administer medications, flea/tick, dewormer, vaccines, etc! I’ve also grown up with cats my whole life and help walk my friends and family’s dogs from time to time! I am currently a college student at UC Davis and am available all weekends, as well as Monday Wednesday and Friday 9am-4pm! Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available 11am- 2pm depending! I love snuggling and playing with all furry animals but know when boundaries are set! I am very attentive and will always be aware of mine and your animal’s surroundings

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.

“Grace was amazing with our dogs! She kept us updated and they were well cared for. She reached out with any questions. She also took great care of our house and kept everything tidy for us. We would absolutely use her services again!”

“Esmerelda is always amazing with our spoiled fur babies. It’s so nice knowing that they are getting lots of love and attention when we are away.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and am the proud dog mom of my own Husky–Goldendoodle, Nagi. Caring for her has given me experience with daily walks, exercise, feeding, enrichment, grooming, and understanding different dog personalities and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and consistent routine while owners are away. In my professional career, I manage programs for the State of California, so being dependable, organized, and communicating clearly comes naturally to me. I bring that same level of responsibility and care to every pet I look after. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evenings, weekend, and holiday pet care. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting depending on my schedule. I always keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings that allow me to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Communication is very important to me, and I’ll send regular photo updates throughout each visit. I know pets feel happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I’ll respect your home as if it were my own and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent photo and video updates so you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands.

About: I've grown up in a family that owns cats. My family cutie cat was adopted 3 years ago and is almost 4 years old! Therefore, I LOVE interacting with different animals that have their unique characteristics. Knowing that every pet is different, I will do meet & greet before starting to take care of your furry family members. At the same time, I will carefully document my interactions with them to make sure you are comfortable with my feeding, playtime, medication delivery, and following any specific instructions to keep pets happy and comfortable. If you have younger/older pets that may need more consistency, I will definitely be more gentle with my care. My goal, like many sitters, is to always let your pets feeling safe with me while you're away. I have the confidence that your family members will be treated with real care!!! Thank you for reading my profile and I am looking forward to your request :) Even though I’m a student, pet care still fits well into my routine because I manage my time carefully and have enough flexibility to give pets the attention they need. I’m used to staying organized with my schedule, so making time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins is something I can plan for and stay consistent with. I also enjoy being around animals, so pet care feels like a meaningful and enjoyable part of my week. In a client’s home, I do my best to keep their pet’s routine consistent since I know that familiar surroundings can help them feel more comfortable. I also respect the home by keeping things tidy, being careful with doors, gates, and food, and making sure the pet stays safe at all times. My goal is to make pets feel cared for and give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in a safe and dependable environment.

About: I have had pets my whole life and taken care of other people’s pets since I was a kid. My favorite thing to do was hang out in the pet store. I probably drove them nuts. I am home all day and would love to make a job out of caring for your pets. My availability is open at this time. I have a fenced yard, Pets are free to go in and out during the day and evening, I prefer to crate at night time, but it’s not a hard no for them to sleep out.

“Jaquan did an amazing job with our two frenchies and left the home cleaner than when we left, with two happy puppies. We will definitely reach out to him again for our needs.”

“We feel lucky to have discovered Susannah on Rover! From the moment we met her, we liked her. and she seemed to like our pets. Our dog, Beau took to her quickly. It’s the best thing to know our pets were with a great person like Susanna, while we took a four-day road trip. She was extra kind and slept with our daughter’s cat!”

About: I have cared for a wide range of animals since my childhood on a small family farm. I have bottle fed kittens to goats, trained puppies to ducks, and cared for little piglets to senior dogs. I also have some experience with medical procedures with dogs and cats, to farm animals. Experience with cats with diabetes, pets with blindness, deafness, and immobility. I enjoy caring for animals of all shapes and sizes and good care and enrichment is always my top priority! I like to check on my animals and animals I’m caring for a minimum of 3 times a day for 30 minutes each. With cats I like to spend time playing, setting up enrichment activities, and learning how they are most comfortable. With dogs I like to do a minimum of 3 walks a day followed by some of their favorite activities. I believe pets should be checked on morning, afternoon and evening at minimum. I like to follow the routine of the pets parents to a T so as to not disturb the pets while their families are gone. I think having a routine is important for a pet especially when their people/family are gone.

“Dorothy was great (and patient) with our six month old puppy who is cute and loving but can be a rascal at times! Our house was clean when we got home and Dash was happy. Will book again!”

Allison W.

“Ryan is wonderful with our pets! He is able to handle our 92 pound hyper 10 month old lab and our 15 year old anxious chihuahua. Ryan communicated the perfect amount with us during our trip and left our house in the same condition as when we left. We already have him booked for our next vacation! Thanks Ryan!”

“Virginia did a wonderful job with Lilly, A 2 year old rescue who is not as well trained as she should be. Lilly enjoyed her time with Virginia and looks forward to seeing her again.”

About: Hey there! I’m a lifelong animal lover, rescue founder, and experienced pet sitter. I’ve worked in animal shelters, vet clinics, and now run my own animal rescue, Rowdy Sisters Rescue Co. — so caring for animals is literally my full-time life! We have a fenced yard, a dog-friendly home, and separate rooms for dogs who need their own space. Whether your pup loves cuddles, a structured routine, or just a quiet place to relax, they’ll feel right at home here. I’m experienced with seniors, puppies, meds, shy dogs, and high-energy breeds. Your dog will be treated like family — with plenty of love, playtime, and updates while you’re away. I’m home full-time and run my own nonprofit animal rescue, so caring for animals is built into my daily routine. From feeding and exercise to playtime, training, and medication — I’m hands-on with dogs all day, every day. I also have a fenced yard, separate spaces for breaks or quiet time, and a structured but loving routine that keeps everyone happy and safe. Whether it’s my own pack or Rover pups, I treat every dog like family. I treat your home and pets with total respect and care. I stick to your routine, provide lots of updates, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s drop-ins or house sitting, I give each pet the same love and structure I give my own.

About: I've grown up with all sorts of pets for as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish. I have two cats of my own right now (two very spoiled babies). I'm typically free in the evenings Monday through Thursday and completely free on the weekends. But if needed for an emergency I can work from home Monday through Thursday to be there for your pet. I care for pets in the same way that I care for myself, with the upmost care. Dogs get walked at least twice a day, and plenty of love. Cats also get the same, and I have plenty of toys for both cats and dogs.
