“We are so elated that we found Carrie on Rover. She along with her family are sincerely wonderful kindhearted people. We love all the photos and updates. Our dogs are in the best care possible and are treated as if one of their own. Navarrete Family”
“Irina was a wonderful sitter for our Yorkie, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Her kindness, attentiveness, and deep experience with dogs made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Given our dog’s medical issues and strict feeding routine, Irina’s veterinary background gave us added peace of mind. She communicated clearly, asked thoughtful questions, and sent frequent updates and videos of our dog happily playing and enjoying his stay. When we picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We will definitely book with Irina again whenever we are out of town and wholeheartedly recommend her services!”
“Denise was absolutely amazing! This was my first time ever leaving my Zoey with anyone, so I was definitely a little nervous—but she completely put my mind at ease. She also watched my mom’s new pup, Leo, and handled both of them so well. Denise kept in constant communication, sending pictures and videos that truly reassured me the entire time. I could actually see Zoey go from being a little scared at first to happy and comfortable by the time we picked her up, which meant everything to me. I’m so grateful we found her and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Annie was great, she accommodated her schedule during Thanksgiving break to help us board our dog while visiting family. We appreciate her flexibility and will definitely use her services again.”
“Ceudi and her wonderful family were great sitters for our senior Boxer (11yr). She was attentive to his medical needs (medicine and care) and stubborn habits. She sent daily updates and always responded quickly to our messages. She lives in a nice neighborhood with a large park nearby. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Wendy made my boys and me comfortable during their stay with her. I never had any concerns and she sent me a pic and vid during their stay. They looked super comfortable and even made a new friend in her own fur baby! Wonton is tuckered out from playing! Thank you again Wendy!”
“Such a wonderful stay at Tesia for our dog Mable. She enjoyed the stay. Tesia is very responsive and kept us updated wirh pictures and messages. It was great to have someone who we can trust for our fur baby! Thank you so much Tesia!”
“Zariyah , was very friendly and wonderful with my baby Archie . I love how she kept me updated with texts and videos / photos during the time he was boarding. We will definitely be rebooking with her for our goldendoodle Archie”
“Kenia was great with our dog and took him to the park a couple times per day, which he loves. Kenia was very easy to communicate with on pick up and drop off.”

About: Hi, I'm Kristina and I've been a veterinarian technician for 5 years! I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, affection, and devotion I give my own dog, Echo. I specialize in customized care tailored to your pet's unique personality—from energetic playtime and structured walks to gentle belly rubs and quiet companionship. I love keeping owners updated with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so you never have to worry while you're away. To ensure the safety and well-being of your pet, I require the assistance of a second person for administering injections or difficult medications if the animal becomes highly uncooperative. This helps keep stress low and procedures safe for everyone. I'm currently looking to sit for your fur babies part time while I'm out navigating a new work schedule for the time being Routine & Comfort: Keeps pets stress-free in their familiar environment by sticking strictly to their normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedules. Health & Safety: Precise administration of medications, daily litter/yard cleanup, secure handling, and close monitoring for any behavioral changes.
About: I genuinely love animals and have two dogs of my own! I have a flexible work schedule, a fenced yard, and a home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, so this feels like a natural way to do something I already love. Your pets will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love while you’re away. 🐾🤍 Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I have two dogs of my own. I work a flexible schedule, so I’m able to build my day around walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I’m also home regularly and enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets doesn’t feel like an extra task, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. In my home, pets have access to a secure, fenced yard and a calm, welcoming environment. I follow each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, and I’m mindful of introductions with my own dogs. For drop-ins or care in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to.
“We highly recommend Minhhan, she took care of our old pug with great care and love. We were at ease in leaving him with her, and I think he got way more attention there than at home :) Thank you again!”
About: Hello! My name is Morgan, and I’m an experienced dog mom and pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I grew up in the country surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. During college, I fostered dogs and regularly pet sat, which is actually how I found my own dog, Tana. I’ve enjoyed it so much that we decided, why not expand to Rover? I truly believe that pets are apart of the family and I will care for your pup like they’re one of my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and cuddles! I have a very flexible schedule and am home everyday. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m also flexible for drop-ins, walks, pet sitting, and house sitting throughout the week. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and medication routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise!

First time Rover user and also the first time deebo had a sleepover at another home. Naiome took her time getting him acclimated to the situation, and showed so much love to our boy. Kept us updated all throughout the weekend, and we knew we were in good hands. Deebo also has a new bff Kye!! Thanks again Naiome!! We will definitely book again, and you should too!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Kirsten was amazing and our baby was well cared for. She kept us updated and shared pictures and videos. This was our first time leaving our girl and Kirsten eased our minds. The meet and greet ahead of time was very helpful and worth the time! Will definitely book Kirsten again’
This was my very first time leaving my two dogs with Annie, and a first time Rover client. Annie was absolutely amazing! I got updates with pictures throughout the duration of my time away, making me feel at ease about the care they were receiving. I was especially nervous to leave my standard Goldendoodle because she has a Megaesophagus and requires special feeding. Annie didn't hesitate, offered a solution that worked, took pictures and spoiled them rotten. They came home happy like they'd been away at the most awesome camp in town! I would highly recommend Annie. Oh, and she made homemade dog biscuits for them, a little special treat to bring home.
We had such a great experience with Zhuoya! They took such wonderful care of our dog and treated her with so much kindness and attention. We really appreciated all of the updates, pictures, and photos throughout her stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so easy for us. Most importantly, our dog had such a great time and came home happy! It was clear she felt comfortable and loved while she was there. We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️
Rocky is a special-needs dog - anxiety, sundowners, allergies, IBD, .... It takes a special person to board and care for Rocky, and that person is Florene. She has a heart for dogs, but she also has knowledge and experience - and knows how to command respect from them. I never want to take Rocky anywhere else. Even though it is an hour's drive for us one way, the peace of mind is worth it. And besides, we really like Florene and her husband Pat.
Carrie was the absolute perfect boarding sitter for my two dogs! She kept me updated with photos and shared all the fun activities my fur babies were up to. I loved her personality and the positivity she brought to their care. We will definitely be booking with her again. #dogs #petsitter #gratitude 🐾🐶✨
They took fantastic care of our small dog under very difficult circumstances. Our dog had severe separation anxiety, she wanted nothing to do with them. But they still took care of her, even sleeping on the couch to keep an eye on her at night because she didn’t want to go inside the house. I’m very thankful because I was prepared to try to come home and get her but they kept insisting that we don’t worry and just enjoy our anniversary trip. Thank you very much for everything.
Jenifer provided wonderful care for Canela. We received updates throughout the day & upon our return Canela was happy & playful. I would/will ask Jenifer to watch Canela in the future. She is excellent in caring for dogs. Her son Jared & her dog Gus also warmly welcomed Canela. I'm very happy to have found a trustworthy pet sitter.
We have continued to be so grateful for the wonderful care June provides for our pup! A year later, we can confidently say that she has become someone we trust with him. Communication has always been excellent, and we especially appreciate how thoughtful she is about sending us daily updates and photos. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing how well our pup is doing whenever we’re away. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so kind, reliable, and attentive - we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.
Cole is the best! She has taken great care of our dog Harley for a few years now while we enjoy summer vacation. She gives Harley the care and attention that she needs while offering playtime with her own dog Aston. She keeps us up to date with pictures and messages daily and provides special treats that she knows Harley loves . I am so thankful we found Cole and we highly recommend her services.
Ana took wonderful care of my dog! She made sure my dog was less anxious on his first night by keeping him company on the couch. And, she was very flexible when I had to add an extra day to the booking at the last minute. Ana went above & beyond and I highly recommend her!!
Irene and her family were beyond fabulous. First time using Rover and wow did we luck out by finding this family. Irene was a vet tech before becoming a stay at home mom which made me feel very comfortable since our dog is a diabetic and needs insulin injections twice a day. But after meeting her and her family, her experience didn’t even matter because I could see the love. She sent me texts every morning and evening with adorable pictures of their little one and my dog. I almost felt jealous!!! I absolutely recommend this family to watch your pet, whatever your needs may be. You’ll be lucky to have them!!!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elk Grove home-away-from-home, packing:
