2. Edward M.
“Edward was so easy and pleasant to work with. His daily feedback and communication really put my mind at ease with my sick cat. He gave all medications as directed , and worked together with my son as a team. Having an extra pair of hands to administer meds to our car made our trip worry-free. He also sent cute pics! Thank you so much Edward!”
3. Pedro Camillo C.
“Firstly, Pedro was very quick with his response and confirmation of availability. I had to leave Sacramento due to a family issue and he confirmed the appointment even though I requested it at the last minute. He followed all the instructions I left written on my door. My dog eats a natural diet along with kibble, and he prepared everything as I asked. He took her to potty in the correct area and left everything clean.”

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 retired and am home most of the time. I have plenty of time to care for and train your fur baby. Your pet will get lots of attention and reassurance from me. 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.

“Ashley was super friendly and knowledgeable. My dogs liked her immediately. She wasn't worried about my sassy shepherd and didn't mind my senior cat's medications. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

About: We raised 3 small dogs from puppies to adulthood to elderly age. Our last dog passed at 13 years old. We love caring for dogs. I work from home and can take dogs on walks, to the dog park. They can go on most outings with us as well such as sports. I have a fenced in yard. I work from home and can be with the pet most of day.

10. Rachel W.
“Rachel is great! We have an older dog that has a lot needs. She is kind and caring to our little Crissy. Most importantly, she is reliable. I can count on her to do what we agree she will do. I don’t worry about Crissy’s care when Rachel is taking care of her.”
11. Kyoungmin K.
About: Currently enjoying life with my two professionally trained dogs with healthy routines. As much as my health is important, our dogs’ health are important as well. Please do not bring your dogs messy, dirty, uncleaned or not responsible. I take care of my dogs and invest in them like my kids. I would not want to watch any dogs that aren’t taken care of well. I do not work outside of home. My two dogs wake up typically between 6-8am to potty. We walk them 2 times daily per hour and they are fed once per day around 3-5pm. I have fenced and well taken cared backyard with dog friendly environment. I have a husky and a pomsky both females and very active and friendly.

If your dog is not comfortable around other dogs I’m more than happy to accommodate and Let my family take my dog for a night. They love her.
14. Jay L.
“Jay has been watching my border collie/lab for about five years now, and I couldn’t be happier with his services. My dog is incredibly shy and takes a long time warming up to new people, but she was immediately comfortable with Jay. Because she’s so shy, she also doesn’t do well in new locations, which Jay is BEYOND accommodating for, staying at my apartment whenever I’m out of town and taking care of both her and my plants. Jay is trustworthy, follows instructions (re: medication schedule, walks, food requirements), and loves my dog just as much as I do. You truly couldn’t find a better dog sitter if you tried—just don’t try and book him when I need him. :)”
15. Marilyn R.
“Marilynn was excellent with my cat. I was very apprehensive about leaving her with anyone since she is diabetic, but Marilyn was a pro! I really appreciated how she sent pictures and videos for each visit. I am definitely planning on asking her back for my next trip away. I would highly recommend her if you want to be stress-free when you go out of town.”
16. Joseph O.
“Great initial visit. He wasn't scared of my dog who is super large and tries to be menacing to strangers. Looking forward to them becoming good friends!”
17. Charlotte C.
“She was wonderful, she even came back to open the door for the pups just before we arrived. They loved her and we appreciate her.”
