About: I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, providing walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of affection while following their normal routine. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, companionship, and other pet-care needs. I will do my best to accommodate your pet’s regular schedule and routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions provided by each pet parent. I give pets plenty of attention while respecting their individual personalities, routines, and boundaries. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care.

About: I love playing with and walking dogs. I am also a cat lover. No matter the pet, I like to get to know them, what makes them unique and how I can win their affection. I have been watching friends and family’s pets for the past 7 years and grew up taking care of a dog and a few cats. I have experience with younger and senior dogs, senior kitties and being around kittens basically 24/7. I’ve administered medication to foster kittens and have fed a very picky senior cat. I would be honored to help keep your pets happy and healthy and would do whatever I can to make them feel loved and cared for. I am happy to visit for feeding, walks or playtime during your busy work day. Friday-Monday require a couple days planning in advance. I’m currently looking for a full time job, so I’m very flexible. I am happy to meet whatever the needs are for your pets, whether feeding, playing, brushing, medication. I love playing with pets and giving them pets. Give me clear instructions and I will be set. I am unable to host/board pets due to my apartment rules.

About: Hello! I’m Keagan and I’d love to take care of your baby! I absolutely love any and all animals. I raised my yellow lab puppy at 14, and my orange crazy cat at 15. I’ve always been around animals, have raised multiple cats and dogs, and love each animal for who they are. Each fur baby is different and deserves to have that understood and respected. I’ve taken care of the sweetest pittie from 9 months to 3 years, an 11 year old boxer, a 9 year old German pointer, and raised my own dachshund mix. And I’ve babysat 4 cats at once! Multiple people have had me watch their animals while they were away, including staying at their house in the process. I like to bring my own treats, so please let me know any favorite brands or dietary restrictions. I would like to meet your furry one before I take care of them so we can become familiar with one another, and to see if we click. Some animals don’t like some people, and that’s ok! I just wouldn’t like to cause your animal stress by taking care of them if they’re not a fan of me for any reason. I’ve RARELY had this happen with any animal, but it does happen to everyone at least once in life. I hope you let me love on your animal as much as I love on mine! I’m currently focusing on being a pet sitter full-time. My priority would be taking care of your animal whenever you need, whether it’s walking your dog or checking on your cat. I would not be able to take care of pets in my home unfortunately. But, I’ll make sure your pet’s needs come first when caring for them in yours. I regularly check food and water first, make sure to follow any instructions, and stay to socialize with them. Even cats! I can absolutely sit in your living room or kitchen for a while to keep your animal company. Sometimes they just need a little more time! I have my phone and plenty of books to keep me entertained if they just want to hang out or, even better, snuggle.
“Cody was absolutely wonderful! He checked in on my cat, Jacki, for a drop-in visit, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was caring, reliable, and attentive, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing Jacki was in such good hands. It’s clear that Cody genuinely cares about animals and takes his responsibility seriously. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave Jacki, and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I would definitely book Cody again! 🐱❤️”

About: Hi, I’m Elle Renee! I live in Downtown Sacramento and love helping out neighbors by keeping their pets happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’ve spent years around dogs and cats, so I know how important it is to keep their regular routine intact while you're away. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk to burn off steam, or your cat prefers quiet company and a clean litter box, I tailor my visits to whatever makes them most comfortable. I’m comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to older pets who just need a gentle potty break and their medication. I’m incredibly reliable, respectful of your home, and will always keep you updated with photos and text check-ins so you never have to worry. I work full time for the State Downtown! Looking for shifts for pet care outside of 8am-5pm business hours. I am available every weekend and most evenings! Thank you! I am experienced in all aspects of pet care throughout my life and have watched and cared for pets for my family! I love all animals!
“Dustin is wonderful. I often need to make last minute plans. Dustin always quickly responds to out request to let us know his availability. Our dog, Hank, is aging and Dustin takes such good care of him. I never need to worry as Dustin is 100% reliable. I highly recommend Dustin as he is the best of the best”

“Kacey and Liz always do such an amazing job with our babies! We are always left unworried whenever my wife and I are on a trip because of how they much they love all our kitties. We enjoy all the pictures they send after every visit and it brings us so much joy knowing that we'll be coming home to some well fed babies after our trips. I highly recommend booking Kacey and Liz as they are so patient, caring and loving!”

About: I was previously a professional dog trainer for a year at a facility and plan to make it part of my future! I am now a vet assistant, as I work on finishing my schooling for my certification in vet tech. I have always been very passionate about animals and have many of my own. I have pet sat many friends and neighbors animals over the years doing task such as feeding, bathing, providing stimulation, giving medication, and more. I love to help out any way I can and will ensure your furry companions will always be safe and happy in my care:) I am a full-time dog trainer and have Thursday and Fridays off that I can fully dedicate to your furry friends. I am also available any time after 5 any other day that is available on my calendar. I will ensure all animals will be very closely supervised (even in fenced areas), and attended to however they may need. I will do quick health checks before and after handling the animal.
About: I grew up with a big Labrador and my family also has two more medium sized dogs. I have years of experience in walking and boarding. I have experience with many different breeds and particularly love bigger dogs (being big sized myself). Unfortunately when I moved to Sacramento I couldn’t take my pup with me so your pet will have all my love and attention! My wife and I mostly work from home and my schedule is very much open. I have plenty of time to host and play with your puppies! Just send me a message and we'll find a time to arrange a playdate, a walk, a run, or an overnight stay! I have an apartment in a quiet area of the city and next to plenty of parks where dogs love to play. The area is also perfect for walks and meeting other furry friends

About: ur friendly neighborhood avid animal lover here to help you with your fur babies! as a former animal shelter employee and current animal hospital worker, I’m familiar with all different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, demeanors and needs. I’m comfortable with young puppies to seniors, nervous/shy cats, those who need medication and anyone in between ☺️ I’m located right in the heart of the Mission District and work in Noe Vallley, so anywhere in those two areas are easy for me to access. I also have a car and can access further if need be! As someone who has seen plenty of emergency cases in my profession, I’m very specially aware within people’s homes of what may be considered safe or unsafe for your baby. Just let me know if I need to keep an extra eye on a specific room or piece of furniture in your room!
“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”

About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for dogs and have personally trained five dogs with different personalities, needs, and learning styles. Over the years, dogs have been much more than pets to me, they have been members of my family. That experience has given me a deep appreciation for how differently every dog communicates, learns, plays, relaxes, and builds trust. I’m especially passionate about canine behavior and body language. I pay close attention to the small signals dogs use to communicate how they’re feeling, whether they are excited, nervous, overstimulated, curious, playful, or simply in need of some quiet time. I believe good pet care starts with understanding the individual dog rather than expecting every dog to respond the same way. While I am not a certified dog trainer, I have substantial hands on experience with training, positive reinforcement, routines, boundaries, mental stimulation, and everyday dog care. I believe dogs thrive when they are given a healthy balance of affection, structure, exercise, enrichment, freedom, and clear expectations. My current dog, Charlie Girl, is a 2 year old Boxer/Hound mix with an incredibly happy and social personality. She has responded exceptionally well to training and has reinforced how much I enjoy working with dogs, learning from them, and helping them feel confident and secure. Caring for her every day includes walks, training, play, mental enrichment, affection, and plenty of time to relax and be part of the family. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that decision easier by treating every dog with patience, attentiveness, and respect for the routines and boundaries their family has established. I enjoy providing regular photos, videos, and updates because I believe clear communication helps owners feel connected and confident while they are away. Ultimately, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, understood, engaged, and genuinely welcomed. Seeing a dog relaxed, happy, and comfortable is something I find incredibly rewarding, and I want to provide that same peace of mind to every family I work with. Caring for dogs is already a central part of my daily life, and I am committed to making pet care a dedicated part of my work. My 2 year old Boxer/Hound mix, Charlie Girl, has a daily routine that includes walks, training, mental stimulation, play, affection, and plenty of time to relax and cuddle. I bring that same level of attention and involvement to the dogs entrusted to my care. Because I am intentionally dedicating my time to pet care, dogs staying with me are part of my day not something I simply fit in around a busy schedule. I enjoy being actively involved with them throughout the day through play, enrichment, positive reinforcement, companionship, outdoor time, and exercise. I believe daily walks are important for both physical exercise and mental stimulation, and when appropriate for the individual dog's age, health, routine, the weather, and their family's preferences, I aim to provide up to an hour of walking and outdoor exercise each day. I also know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else. Communication is a major part of the service I provide, so I enjoy sending regular photos, videos, and updates throughout their stay. I would rather communicate too much than leave a family wondering how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable second home where dogs can relax and enjoy themselves while their family is away not an environment that feels like being placed in a kennel. I have a comfortable home with a fully fenced yard where dogs have room to play, explore, enjoy supervised outdoor time, or simply relax. I take a calm, patient, and structured approach to caring for dogs. I believe dogs thrive with a healthy balance of affection, freedom, exercise, positive reinforcement, and clear rules and boundaries. Structure should help a dog feel secure and understand what is expected of them without taking away their opportunity to be a dog. Understanding canine behavior and body language is especially important to me. I pay attention to the smaller signals dogs use to communicate whether they are excited, uncertain, overstimulated, uncomfortable, ready to play, or simply in need of some quiet time. Every dog has its own personality, history, routine, and comfort level, and I believe good care starts with respecting those differences. Charlie Girl is a happy, social dog who genuinely enjoys connecting and playing with other dogs. Even so, I never assume that two dogs will immediately be comfortable together. Introductions and interactions are handled thoughtfully and supervised, with each dog's behavior and comfort level determining how quickly they progress. I also make it a priority to follow the routines and expectations established by each dog's family, including feeding schedules, sleeping arrangements, walking routines, training cues, boundaries, and other care instructions. Consistency can make being away from home much easier for a dog. Most importantly, I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's dog seriously. These animals are members of their families, just as the dogs throughout my life have been members of mine. I want owners to leave knowing their dog is being watched closely, treated with patience and respect, given meaningful attention and enrichment, and welcomed into a home where their safety and well being come first. Regular photos, videos, and checkins are part of that commitment so you never have to wonder how your dog is doing.
“Holly is a pro and took the best care of my three boy cats and their special meds and food needs. She built trust with them immediately in our meet-n-greet and they let her care for them on each visit thereafter. Thank you, Holly!”

“Jessica was wonderful with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of them while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I really appreciated how attentive she was to their needs and would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Thank you Stacey! She was able to come and meet my senior kitty on late notice, and her flexibility and care meant so much for my peace of mind on this trip. Bubsy and I are very thankful for Stacey!”

“RJ goes out of his way to make my little senior dog feel cared for and loved. She loves to walk and sniff everything and he allows her to do so. My dog is both blind and deaf so I’m very picky with who I have watch her, but I always feel at ease when I know RJ is watching her. He updates me with photos and messages which is greatly appreciated!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for walking, feeding, bathing, and overnight care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
Lauren was amazing!! My boyfriend and I both had last minute plans/work in which our dog Rusty would be alone for most of the day, and Lauren was happy to book a last minute check in to make sure he had water and a potty break. She also came to meet him a day before to make sure he was comfortable with her (he loved her immediately). She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with, and I’d be more than happy to trust her with my 85lb anxious pup in the future!

Kathleen was fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet before our trip and asked thoughtful questions. Throughout our trip we could tell she really cared about the well-being of our cat and chickens. She even spent extra time just hanging out with our cat to make sure she felt comfy and loved while we were away. She sent detailed reports and lots of photos which is a must! Thank you, Kathleen!

Stephanie was so great with our kitties!! Very attentive and consistent with sending photos, asking questions, and made sure to check all items on the checklist while still setting aside play time with our babies 🙂 We will definitely be booking with her again!

Thank you, Marissa, for watching peach while I was away. Despite the last minute request, she was available and conveniently close by. Since this was the first time having her watch peach, we met beforehand so peach could meet her and I could explain care instructions. I could tell from the photos that peach was happy in her care.

Jaclyn did an amazing job in caring for our cats. Even when her phone was out of commission and she wasn't able to get in touch with us or Rover, she came by every day to take care of the cats and made sure they have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and fresh food. I really appreciate her care for dedication to making sure our cats were cared for.

I am so glad we went with Russel and I’d definitely book with him again! We live in an old school bus - so it has some quirks. He was respectful of our space, sent pictures of the dogs, made sure they ate their meds, kept us updated daily, and even did a couple small favors for us to keep our solar power up and running through a hot weekend so pups had AC. If I had a human baby, I’d let Russel watch that, too. 10/10, highly recommend.
