About: Only taking walking or housesitting clients in DIXON, DAVIS, and VACAVILLE! I’ve always had a pet since I was 4 and I love animals. I currently have 3 dogs that I care for and love taking them on walks to parks. When it comes to your pets I will make sure everything they need will be taken care of, and send plenty of pics of them if you’d like! I currently work part-time, and currently looking to expand my streams of income to save up for my own place one day. My schedule is flexible and I will make whatever work! You tell me the fur babies' routine and schedule and that’s what we’re doing as best as I can—regarding my schedule + distance. If they take vitamins/pills in the morning, or 3x a day, just let me know, I’ve done it all! I understand pets can be extra on edge when their parents are away, so keeping things how they’re used to is important to me to help them feel as comfortable as possible.
“Alyson was great! I knew my cat was in good hands. She took great care of her, even hanging out with her and playing for a while which I know she appreciated since she’s super social. I’ll definitely be using Alyson in the future!”
“Virginia was absolutely amazing! My cats are spoiled rotten and Virginia continued to spoil them while in her care! My babies are very shy and hide from everyone. Virginia kept me updated with pictures of feeding time and after. My babies actually came out of hiding for her! She stayed a little bit after feeding and gave everyone lovings. That pleased me greatly. Virginia was awesome! I recommend Virginia for the best animal care you can get!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. As a pet owner, I care for my playful puppy, Milo, and my kitten, Whillow, every day. I have experience with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, basic puppy care, and making pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their routine and provide care that’s tailored to them. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll also send photo updates and communicate throughout every visit so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for drop-in visits and dog walks. I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible and will always communicate clearly if my availability changes. My goal is to make sure your pet stays on their normal routine while you’re away. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medication instructions (if needed), and any special requests. During every visit, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water, receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I’ll always leave your home clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. You’ll receive photo updates and messages after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: My family has had dogs my whole life, I spent lots of my time caring for out puppies by feeding them, giving them baths and brushing them, administering medication, and most importantly, playing outside and going on walks!! I’m a preschool special education paraprofessional and am out of work for the summer months and love pets and going on walks!! I have very open availability during this time and once school starts back up in mid August, I will have open availability on weekends and early morning (before 7:00am) and afternoon availability after 3:30pm! Some safety measures I take with pets is triple checking leashes/harnesses are securely attached before heading outside for a walk, having strong leash control and minimizing distractions to prevent any accidents, not leaving them unattended, sticking to their provided diet/keeping human food out of reach, and making sure I have all the information I would need on the pet and the owners just in case of an emergency.
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.
About: I've shared my home with dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has shaped how I approach pet sitting. Over the years I've handled everything from daily feeding schedules and long walks to training, grooming, and the occasional midnight vet scare. As a mechanical engineering student, I bring a detail-oriented, problem-solving mindset to every stay: I notice patterns in a dog's behavior, build routines that keep them comfortable, and plan ahead so nothing is left to chance. Your dog gets the patience of a lifelong dog person and the precision of an engineer. I’m currently working part time as I’m taking a full load of classes but am available afternoons and weekends as needed. I’m willing to work with yalls schedule I have a fenced in backyard and a housemate with a friendly dog to keep your pet company. I’m comfortable around all size dogs and can keep them company
“Richard does a fantastic job taking care of my puppy! He’s reliable, attentive, and has a great connection with dogs. My puppy is happy and well cared for during her drop-in visits. It gives me peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. I highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter!”

“Sydney is absolutely fantastic! My little pup is very shy around new people but within a day or two, he warmed up to Sydney and felt very comfortable with her. She is super responsive, communicative, and provides great rover cards. I love receiving her updates immediately following her drop ins!”
About: My entire life, my family has had at least two dogs, so I'm very well versed and familiar with the care and attention that a variety of different dog breeds need to get. In addition, I have two kittens of my own, who are extremely well cared for. Animals are my passion in life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I can guarantee your fur babies will get all of the love, attention, and care in the world while I'm watching them. I'm a student and work part-time, so I'm busy but have a schedule that easily allows me to check in on your pets as-needed! I can check in frequently, spend hours with your pets, and sleep over if preferred. How I care for your pets depends on your personal instructions, boundaries, and expectations, and the specific needs of your pet, if applicable. I always closely follow all instructions and requests that I receive, so that I can best make your pet(s) comfortable and within their usual routines, and to best respect your home.
About: Besides caring for my own dog for nearly 13 years, including nearly a year of hospice care, I also have experience volunteering at animal sanctuaries and cat-sitting for roommates and neighbors. I consider companion animals to be family members, and the care I provide reflects that belief. I work from home, and my schedule is flexible, so I’m easily able to accommodate anything an animal in my care needs, any time of day. Because I work remotely, I’m able to keep your dog or cat company all day while house-sitting. I'll stay at your home so your pets can keep their normal routine, environment, and yard. For drop-ins and walks, my flexible schedule allows me to stop by multiple times for walks, meals, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I'm also privately insured as a pet-sitter through PCI, so your pets are well-covered.
About: I have taken care of about 100 individual dogs staying overnight at my home. Their age ranges from 4 months to 16 years. Their weight ranges from 10 to 130 lbs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dixon
Virginia took excellent care of my 6yr old large breed dog and my very independent cat while we were out of town for the weekend. I was glad for her check ins and photos that she sent us. It makes it so much easier to relax and enjoy vacation when you know your animals are being so well cared for.
Tracy came over for a drop-in meet and greet as part of transitioning my dog, who has special needs and generalized anxiety around new people, dogs, and environments. She has strong dog instincts cultivated over a lifetime of personal and professional experience with dogs. Just as importantly, she was very receptive to listening to my dog’s specific needs. She asked thoughtful questions and followed guidance well, which I really appreciated. My normally shy dog warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. Tracy was calm, respectful, and patient, and I feel confident continuing to work with her as we build out more support for my dog so I can travel with peace of mind.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
