About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I have trained almost all my dogs since they were puppies. I have trained my own service dog. I have a passion for training dogs. I am currently retired, so I have plenty of time to play with and train your pup. I can take them for daily walks around the park as well. I have a fenced yard and a nearby park to take your dog for a walk. I have my own friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a cat, but if your dog does not like cats, I can isolate may cat from your dog. My big dog seems to have a way of knowing how to make dogs feel comfortable in our home. He knows when to interact with them and when to just leave them alone. I am retired so I have lots of time to spend with your dog. I try to schedule my activities around when I have dogs, so I can devote all my time to caring for the dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I always supervise dogs when they are outside. I try to set up play dates with a neighbor who also works for Rover. My husband and family members are usually around to play with and take dogs on walks. I am currently transforming my services to focus more on training sessions in my client’s home. My main focus is working with young pups and to start training from day one, although I welcome the opportunity to train dogs of all ages. My goals are to offer support to dog owners on how to properly train desired behaviors in their dogs. I closely monitor all dogs, especially during play. I train the dogs how to play appropriately with each other. I will only crate dogs if it’s for their own safety. The only services I do in a client’s home are training sessions with the client present.
“Patrick did a great job taking care of our dog and our cat for drop-in visits while we were away. He was kind and attentive. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him to others.”


About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am experienced with puppies, senior pets, medications, basic first aid, and I pride myself on being dependable, loving, patient, and attentive. My home offers a fully fenced yard, locked gate, covered patio, and dog door access for a safe and comfortable stay. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, or overnight care, they’ll be loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I walk every morning. I work from home during the week, taking breaks throughout the day. Thankfully my schedule is flexible and many times I like to add in an evening walk as well, weather permitting. Whether in my home or yours, I care for every pet as if they were my own. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment while carefully following routines, special instructions, and care needs. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable and secure, and for every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is in trusted hands.
“Amy was great! We felt so reassured that our kitty was getting the attention she needed while we were gone. I appreciated the daily photo updates and could tell she took great care of our girl.”

“Jenny dropped in and spent time with our three dogs, making sure they had their potty break while we were out of town for the day. She was on time and the dogs adored her. I will definitely be a repeat customer. ❤”

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).
About: I have always had a kinship with animals. They do communicate and I listen. I had my first cat at age 5. From there, it was cats, dogs, birds and even a horse for me. As an adult, I have also had a rabbit. I work remotely full time. I prefer to also house sit and have a place to work. For dogs, I do a short walk in the morning and long one after work. On breaks , I check in with the needs of the animal. I make sure the needs of the animal is met. Not just food and water but attention. Do they need love or play time? I will be sure to know the current routine so we folllow it for stability.
“We are so happy to have found Kimberli. Our boys loved her and she did so many extra lil things like watering our plants and even popped in to pop in on the boys to ensure they were ok after 4th of July fireworks. Thanks again; you put my mind at ease.”

About: I have grown up LOVING dogs. I mean who doesn't? They are loving, always there when you need them, and your best friend. I have a Lhaso Apso named Zuzu and a Golden Retriever named Daisy. Two different dogs, different sizes, and different personalities. I know how to navigate for both their different needs and cater to what benefits the most. I will do the same for your loving fur babies! Pet care fits wonderfully in my daily life and schedule! I am a very flexible person with a flexible schedule and am able to care for your pets whether it be morning, afternoon, or night. I care for pets at my clients home by always greeting them with love and a lot of petting and rubs on their tummy if they like that. I always get them excited to walk or play and make sure they are ready to hang out with me and receive my love.

About: I have been a pet owner since I entered the world. Most of my experience is with dogs, but I do have two cats. As of now, most of my pet-sitting jobs have been for close family friends. I am just starting on my Rover journey. I am a college student who is looking to help pay for my college expenses. I'm only offering Friday-Sunday right now since I will be working during the week and don't have a flexible schedule. On the weekends, your dogs will have my full attention :) I do not provide care in my own home. I will work with you to ensure that your pet feels safe with me while I am in their space.
About: Trusted sitter experienced with multi-pet homes, small and large dogs, and cats. Comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring patience, safety, and personalized attention every time. Im currently working part time (weekdays). My availability is Monday-Friday any time before 12 and after 5pm. Weekends I am more flexible with my availability I take my dogs on a daily walk, puzzles and play with them. With my cat I play with her often and giver her puzzles.
About: Aside from having cared for my toy poodle for 12 years until he passed, I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family either during the day or entire vacation. Followed owners’ instructions and gave needed updates on pets’ wellbeing. I’m currently a full time student at community college Monday through Thursday, so while I am capable of being home in between classes, your pets will be able to have my full attention and care Friday through Sunday nights. I have a two story house with a fenced yard for your pets to play. I will abide by whatever instructions required to care for your babies, crate and frequently give potty breaks and walks. Aside from that, I would love to allow them to wander around and lay on the couch.
About: With my combination of animal care knowledge, effective communication, patience, reliability, time management, love for physical fitness, and attention to detail, I will ensure the well-being of the pets I care for and provide peace of mind to pet owners. I am currently a nursing student and I work part time at my local grocery store! I go on walks almost everyday and would love to have a dog with me. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I plan my schedule to prioritize the pets I’m responsible for. I allocate specific times for walks, feeding, play, and any other needs, ensuring consistency and reliability. I’m flexible with my time to accommodate different schedules, such as early morning walks or evening check-ins, depending on what works best for the pet and their owner. I live in close vicinity and I am able to walk with your dog when needed. I can purchase additional materials such as a portable water bowl and leash if needed! When walking pets, their safety and enjoyment are my top priorities. I use secure harnesses or leashes that fit well to ensure they are comfortable and safe during our walk. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels, adjusting the pace and duration of the walk to suit their needs. For energetic dogs, I provide more active walks, incorporating play like fetch if appropriate, while for older or calmer dogs, I keep the walk slower and more relaxed. I always stay aware of the environment, avoiding hazards like hot pavement, harmful plants, or interactions with unfamiliar animals unless the owner approves. I also carry water, waste bags, and treats to ensure their comfort and cleanliness. Additionally, I watch for signs of fatigue or distress to make sure they’re feeling happy and healthy throughout the walk.
“Tim was awesome! Came over to my house several times to meet my dogs and took time to understand their routine. On his drop in he kept me updated with what was going on and kept me updated with what was happening! Even sent me a few photos! Would totally recommend him and use him again!”


“Cassie has taken care of my girls a number of times now. Not only do they adore her, but I know without a doubt that she will be there for them. She play with them and give them their snacks, but she also monitors their health and makes sure I know if anything is of concern. I cannot recommend Cassie enough. She will always be my choice to take care of my babies.”

About: I’ve always had an affinity for animals. I trained & loved my 2 yorkies until they passed in their golden ages. I now have a 1 year old yorkie boy named Aston he is fixed, and very friendly. I also have a son that is 11 years old and he wants more pets, so I figured this would be a win win if we opted to be caregivers to give our guy a play friend and share our love of animals. Although my son will play with the pets, I assure that this time will be supervised and I will be the primary responsible caregiver. I work from home, as a life coach and my son is home schooled via zoom with his teacher. We can easily accommodate caring for additional pets during the week. I have a large, open real grass lawn space that is fenced in for there safety. I also Have all hardwood floors, so it’s very way to clean up any accidents if any occur.
About: Hi there! I’m Irene a Vet-Tech of 11 years turned into SAHM. We live with our two sweet cats and a 1.5yr old toddler so we’re used to having a full (and slightly chaotic) house. My husband also WFH so your pet will rarely be alone! My experience in the vet field has really shaped the way I care for animals: gently, patiently, and always with their comfort and safety in mind. I’m comfortable with all personalities, from shy and anxious to energetic and goofy. I can also handle pretty much any medical needs your pet might have such as medications, injections, SQ fluids, nail trims, ear cleanings, eye/ear meds, even bandage changes. I know how stressful it can be to leave your babies, especially if they need extra care, and I want you to feel completely at ease. I send detailed updates throughout the day, along with so many photos and videos you may run out of storage. There will be no surprises about how your fur babies are doing :) If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely caring, this EG vet tech auntie would love to help you. Feel free to reach out anytime. Please message me about scheduling and how flexible the timing is! I am available most mornings and evenings and we can find something that works for all of us. I follow instructions to the dot. I am very detail oriented and insightful. I am constantly on look out to make sure your pets are safe and happy. I am an open book & love to give advice to pet owners because at the end of the day, a happy healthy pet is a happy life.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elk Grove
Christina did drop in visits for our cat while where we’re gone on vacation. She was very kind and enthusiastic with her daily updates and pictures. She even brought in our trash cans and packages that were delivered while we were gone. She reached out with questions (we encouraged this) and when we got home our cat was happy to see us and our home was exactly like it was when we left. Our old cat sitter (that our cat loved) moved away, so we have been trying to find someone new that she likes for when we travel. We would love to book Christine for our next trip and we highly recommend her to others.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
