“Audrey has been helping us for a few months and she is awesome. She has helped us out of a few jams when we needed someone to check on our pup and take her for a walk. She continues to be a great communicator and quickly responds.”


“We are beyond grateful for the incredible care Ana gave our dog over the weekend. Right before we left, our dog injured her leg, and we were so worried—but Ana went above and beyond to ease our concerns and make sure our pup was safe and comfortable. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, and even took the initiative to call the vet to see if she could get our dog in just in case. That level of care and responsibility gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s hard to put into words how much we appreciate her kindness, communication, and dedication. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for someone who treats your pet like their own. Thank you so much, Ana!!!!!!!!!!!!!”


“Natalie took excellent care of our dog, Junie! We adopted Junie just a few weeks ago so we are still getting her comfortable and trained, and Natalie did an excellent job being patient with her, going at her own pace and keeping up with the routine we are setting. It’s always difficult to go on a trip and leave our dogs, so I’m extra grateful for all the pictures sent, updates and love given to our dog!!! Would recommend and will book again!”


“We have a feisty old kitty who is very hard to medicate. Andee has been more successful with medicating her than any other pet sitter we have tried! We are very grateful for Andee’s excellent animal care skills.”


About: I have three of my own pups and 2 cats, and if my husband would let me have more I would! We don’t deserve animals! They are literally the best thing! I hope I can love your animals as much as I love mine while you are away! My boys love new friends and would be so excited to meet your fur babies. I work full time, but only work 8 hour shifts with some remote days. If your pets do well with other pets and hanging out for a few hours alone, I’ve got you covered! I have an elderly boy (14), so I know all about meds and providing comfort! Message me for more scheduling details, I can sometimes move my schedule around to accommodate. I have a fenced yard, my animals are indoor mostly because of this sac heat. I have the ac and fans on always to make sure they are the most comfortable they can be!

“Dustin was available in short notice and able to stop by and visit my senior chihuahua who needed assistance going out for his potty break. I was able to stay at my event a bit longer knowing my boy was get some needed care when I could not be home!”


“Debbie was wonderful! She was a drop-in pet sitter for nearly a month because of medical problems that I have been battling. She was very reliable, thorough and patient. Debbie has a unique way of relating to animals. My cat instantly warmed up to her! She gave Kitty one-on-one attention. He loved it! Debbie played with Kitty, and brushed him. He was in Heaven! She also wrote a detailed summary, and sent lots of pictures which I will treasure. I also appreciated that she informed me regarding which wet cat food he liked or didn’t like. After each session, Kitty would return to me all happy and purring! That was the best part…Kitty’s happiness! I would definitely book Debbie again! I highly recommend her!”


“Absolutely an above and beyond sitter; she dog sat one of our pups that has behavioral health issues from prior abuse. I was worried all weekend how his care would be, but she handled this job with such ease. My dog liked her off the bat, which is a bit uncommon for him. She pet him, played with him, refilled his food and ensured water was there everyday. She even assisted in cleaning one plastic bottles that my dog got into when I was gone, she was so kind and respectful to the home. On top of her amazing work and compassion, she also gifted my doggie a bed, since he loves to destroy the many we buy him. Along with her kind gestures, she also provided pictures of my dog during her stay over with him. Overall she is an amazing sitter and I will love to have her again. I definitely look forward to booking her again for any future dog sitting.”


About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I’ve cared for animals over 30 years. It is my ultimate goal to assure you that your pet is cared for just as you would care for them. I’m currently working part time as a house manager. This gives me plenty of flexibility in my day to care for your pet and home. I have a fenced yard and one super sweet golden retriever named Phoebe. We have plenty of toys and space to run around. Ultimately I have availability to come to your home.

About: Hi! I’m Alice, a lifelong animal lover with over eight years of full-time experience caring for pets. I’ve looked after puppies, kittens, and senior dogs and often help with family and friends’ pets too. With me, your pets get the best care, attention, and love they deserve, tailored to their unique needs! As a full-time student, I’m available for pet care full-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with part-time availability on weekends and Tuesdays/Thursdays. I’m committed to providing dedicated care that fits both my schedule and your pet’s needs! I provide pet care exclusively in your home, where pets can stay in their own space and routines. Whether it’s regular feeding, playtime, administering medications, or maintaining a clean environment, I ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Their comfort and happiness are my top priorities!

About: The truth is, I love animals so much I still don’t know if I’m a dog or a cat person. I’ve been around and owned animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I looked after my cat for 15 years until he crossed the rainbow bridge, and now I have a sweet Goldendoodle who’s almost 4. We completed obedience training at Tahoe Park in Sac when she was a puppy, and she’s been my daily walking partner ever since. Taking care of her has taught me so much, and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I meet. I work from home, have a flexible schedule, and don’t travel much, so I’m available for regular dog walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting during the week and most weekends. Whether your dog needs a quick break, a long walk, or just a little company, I’m happy to help. I’m calm, dependable, and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. You can count on me to treat your pets with kindness, patience, and love, like they’re my own. I work from home and have a super flexible schedule, so your pets will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I don’t travel often, and I have a reliable car, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting with short notice. Whether it’s a weekday afternoon or a weekend, I can adjust my routine to make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for. I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving space for the pets I care for—whether that’s in your home or mine. I’m reliable, respectful of routines, and happy to follow any instructions you leave (medications, feeding schedules, crate time, etc.). I have a reliable car in case of emergency and make it a priority to keep pets secure on walks or during visits. Your pets’ comfort and safety are my top priority, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my family.

“Hans is an absolute hero yet again!! Looked after our two cats with love, care, and great communication! As always their vote counts the most, and they were in fine spirits when we got back. 10/10 would recommend Hans!!”


“As a first-time user of Rover, we’re lucky to have found Aicha- she is compassionate, professional, educated, and communicative- all the attributes of someone you’d hope for to look after your beloved fur baby. For my initial drop-in visit, she was quick to respond and eager to adjust to our needs as new puppy parents. Her willingness to schedule a meet and greet prior to the 1st visit allowed us the opportunity to build rapport with Ube and show her the ropes before the first session. During her drop-ins, she sends real-time updates/pictures and asks for clarification of house rules giving us reassurance that she respects our home and reinforces habits we try to impart for our pup. Moving to Sacramento with few friends/family, she has been a huge support for my husband and I who both work long hours.”


About: As a dog owner of 2, I value someone who will treat my dogs as their own. As a dog sitter, your dog would be in the best care and will receive all the love I give my own. I mostly work from home Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm so I am available anytime after 5pm during the weekday and anytime on the weekends. If needed, I can also be available for early morning during the weekday. I would like to sit only at clients homes so each pet will can feel the most comfortable. Also since I have 2 dogs at home, feel like it is the safest option to only be at clients home.

About: As a dog mom to three (a husky, a shepherd mix, and a chihuahua), I understand that every dog has their own needs—whether they’re high-energy runners or slow-moving seniors. I’m active and love staying on the move, but I also know when to slow down. Reliable, flexible, and caring. My schedule is pretty flexible! I don’t have set work hours, so happy to fit in dog walks and visits throughout my day + weekend. I would be glad to follow whatever instructions/schedule your dog is on! You can count on me to treat your home—and your pet—with the same care I give my own.

About: I have grown up and cared for dogs my whole life. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs including puppies. I love to be active and play with the dogs, or just chill out if they have a mellow personality. I am very reliable and you can depend on me to be punctual and precise when caring for your dog(s). I have a huge backyard that your pup can run around in. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your dog! I work part time so I am usually never gone for more than 4-5 hours per day. While I am home, your pup will get plenty of attention. I have a large fenced yard for your pup to run around and play in. My dog, Ozzie, loves to play with other dogs and is very friendly. I also live near a big park and love to take walks throughout the day.

Dominique F.
“Dominique is amazing, she is awesome with my fur babies. My 2 standard poodles and kitty love her and when she comes over and they smother her with their wonderful wet kisses. They all fight for the place of honor on her lap. She is patient and loving and treats my babies like they are her own. I feel total safe when I know it’s Dominique coming over or walking my babies. My girls can tell the true spirit of a person the minute they meet that person and they have been in love with her ever since they met her. Like I said she is amazing, loving and caring and I would recommend her to any fur-baby parent - your precious babies are safe and alway loved with her - she is the next best thing to me lol 😁”

Kristina E.
“My dog is very picky as to who she will love and allow to love on her. Kristina is one of her chosen few. I never have to worry when I leave Maisy in her care. I know she will get all the snuggles she needs. Maisy goes under the bed when I'm not home, when Kristina shows up Maisy comes right out and is very excited to see Kristina.”


Alice H.
“We had an incredible experience with Alice as our house sitter. We left her with a full menagerie, including pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, and fish, and she handled it all with ease, responsibility, and warmth. From feeding and cleaning to ensuring each animal received personal attention, Alice went above and beyond in every aspect. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly loved her, and it was wonderful to see each animal well-cared for and happy when we returned. The house was also left spotless! We highly recommend Alice to anyone needing a trustworthy, dependable sitter who truly loves animals.”

“I trust Jennifer to check on my 2 cats when I am out of town! She is trustworthy and always follows instructions to the Tee on tasks we need done.

I definitely recommend her services and I know she is great with dogs as well.”

Jill D.
“Jill is super active, exudes positivity and has a true love for animals. She has an awesome confident “let’s adventure!” energy that the dogs really seem to respond to. Our dog Jack is missing a paw and wears a prosthesis on walks, and we were worried about finding someone who could manage that. Jill takes him on walks, plays with him, handles his prosthesis with no issue and allows him to be part of the pack. I know that Jack is in great care with Jill because he runs full speed into her open arms every time he sees her (plus she sends lots of photos)!”


Shay H.

“Shay took great care of my 6 month old golden retriever, Sunny. He got to play with Shay’s very friendly golden retriever in her big backyard and they got along great. Shay was great about communication and Sunny was happy and all played out by the end of his stay. Highly recommend Shay for your furry friend!”
