“We could not be happier with the service Adrienne provides! She is extremely reliable and excellent with our pups, a 15-week old blue heeler and a 13-year old chihuahua. Knowing that Adrienne will be by to provide potty- and play-time to our boys is such a relief in an otherwise stressful day. And we love receiving the rover cards and photos. We always know how our boys did and what they did on her visit. Again, could not be happier!”


About: I grew up here in Northern California with many different loyal pet dogs. After high school I joined the Army and got out of active duty in 2017. Long story short I moved to Alaska with my pet dog from Yuba City where I learned to be a dog musher and she learned to be sled dog. I’ve worked for various different high level sled dog kennels, thousands of different dogs, thousands of hours with dogs, thousands of miles with dogs, and even spent a year working at an Athletic & Longevity Canine Research Facility under the mentorship of some of best veterinarians and scientists. My knowledge and experience in general canine medical care, psychology, and training is advanced. I currently work from home & have a flexible schedule. I open to the special needs & care of your beloved pet from all ages. Each pet is individually unique when it comes to specific pet care, so I will work diligently with owners to best understand their pet. I have 1 spayed female 8 y/o Shepherd/Husky mix who is well tempered, a lead sled dog, well socialized to keep your pet company(friendly with both dogs & cats). I have a dog door that leads to a fenced in backyard. Regularly scheduled feeding, walks, & bathroom breaks.

“Christina was amazing! She was understanding and patient with my anxious pup, and capable of handling my dog-reactive one. I always worry that my roughhousing, loud dogs will be too intense for people, but Christina's experience proved to be a perfect fit! I would definitely recommend her as a sitter :)”


About: I have always had a passion for animals! My mom while I was growing up owned a small pet sitting business. We took care of dogs, cats, birds, all the way to a whole farm. Over the years of helping my mom and pet sitting on my own, I’ve gained plenty of knowledge and patience for all furry friends! I have my own small business as a licensed esthetician, so whenever I don’t have clients scheduled, I am totally free to play with your pets! I have a 1 bedroom apartment with a small yard that has public access. I live with my 3.5 year old male cat, but he is very tolerant of dogs! Pet friendly space for your furring friends to visit!

“Alexis is literally THE best. She’s great at communication and made sure to send picture updates and visit updates twice a day, since that’s how often she visited our pups. Our dogs love her so much! And so do we!!!”


“Alyssa did everything asked and more! She was very easy to work with and took great care of our babies! We would definitely ask her again to watch them again! Thank you for the peace of mind while we were away Alyssa!!!”


About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I can remember, either of my own, from my friends, family, acquaintances, and more. I’ve always loved taking care of all kinds of dogs, I would always burst out with joy whenever someone I knew needed someone to take care of their canine furry babies! I’ve always loved it and I will forever continue to pamper pets with love and care, because they deserve it and so much more! I have a pretty open schedule! I have a lot of time the majority of the week to get to know some furry babies and play and have fun, as well as make them feel loved and cared for because if they’re happy then I’m happy! I’m an aspiring actor, I do theater most of the time and I am currently in a ongoing production which takes a couple hours out of my free time for rehearsals, but mostly just during a couple days out of my week. Not to mention, I still have 90% out of my time from those couple days to spend time caring for pets, besides the rest of the week I can fully focus on providing love and playful care for pets! I will care for your lovely pets and make sure to follow every single step and instruction you give me to make sure your pet can feel safe and welcomed as well as making sure your furry baby has a wonderful and outstandingly happy playtime!

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!

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.

Hannah G.
“I needed pet care when I was in Hawaii in July 2024. I have two dogs and 2 cats. They all have specific feedings and walking schedules for the dogs has to be later in the evenings . Hannah did a great job of making sure the dogs had their food on time and their walks twice a day. She stayed at my house so that the new kitten could be kept inside and the dogs could use the dog door. My house was clean and all of my animals were very very happy when I returned ! I would highly recommend Hannah for any pet care !! Mary G”

“Bryan is a great enthusiast guy, he would be great to take care of your pets. He loves animals of all kinds, and he is just the kindest human being to say the least! He took care of my Huskie when I moved for work. I only visited every 6 months or so, he cared for them for a couple years. And she even had puppies which he ended up raising and he couldn’t have done a better job!”


Samantha S.
“Samantha is the one of those people who all animals come too because they can feel her love. All of her pets are spoiled and get treated like they are her children. She truly cares for all animals and any pet would be so lucky to have a caregiver like her.”

Teresa T.

“Teresa recently took care of my bichon, Bijou , when I had to spend a night in LA. She did a wonderful job and I will definitley use her agina. Bijou was well taken care of and really seemed to enjoy his time with her. She sent me pictures of him enjoying himself at the dog park! Teresa has a great pet friendly apartment and has a dog of her own. A very laid back black lab, Bijou got along well with her pet as well! Teresa and her partner really took great care of my little guy, he was very loved and I am not sure he was ready for me to pick him up! He got lots of attention from them. I would recommend Teresa to anyone who wants to make sure their pet is spending time with someone who loves them and takes care of them individually and not in a group of crates. She even let him sleep with her! Bijou is looking forward to spending more time with Teresa.”

“Popped in and spent quality time With our baby. We arrived home and our little one was happy and unstressed. We would definitely suggest using Gretchen. You know that she is an animal person through and through. Your little fur friend is in good hands with Gretchen.”


Sydnie S.
“Sydnie is literally an animal whisperer. Her knowledge from her work in the vet industry for almost a decade shows when she cares for someone’s pets at home. She can handle any “spicy” cat to give them meds or cut their nails. She can also get pretty much any dog to listen and follow a command for her as well. With our animals, she tends to them joyfully and seemingly effortlessly. I would highly recommend her for any animal(s) that need that little extra attention.”


Audra T.
“Audra absolutely adores animals of all kinds! She is very responsible while taking care of my Jasper. She treats him like he is her own! He loves being in her care!”
