“Michelle is a wonderful person. She is so good with Boo and always makes sure he is happy and that his little area is in ship shape. We also love her detailed and thoughtful visit reports!”

“Dustin is the best! He is so friendly, kind of like family so you feel comfortable leaving your family pet and can relax on vacation. He watched our cat for us and even sent pictures daily. Will definitely use him for our next get away.”

“Luis and Sonya were friendly, reliable, and communicative. They responded quickly to all of my messages and gave me updates on how the cats were doing. I would absolutely recommend them, and hope to have their help again in the future! :)”

“Jazmin was amazing checking in on Lucy! Followed all care instructions I had left for her. She was very communicative and sent me so many update pictures/videos of Lucy. Definitely recommend booking with her as a dog sitter!”

“This is Jessica’s second time sitting for our three cats and we couldn’t be luckier! She took wonderful care of the cats. She was a great communicator and sent us plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. She checked the litter box each time and was proactive with helping us troubleshoot. Just a cherry on top- she remembered from months ago that our cats are obsessed with Churus, and she brought them for them all week from her own stash (we had forgotten to restock)! Thanks again Jessica and would 100% rebook.”

“I HIGHLY recommend Svetlana! She is absolutely wonderful with our cat, who can be a little feisty and needs lots of play and attention. Svetlana does a wonderful job taking care of her while we’re gone and making sure she gets all of the exercise and attention that she needs. We were gone for 10 days at one point, and often our cat will break out in dermatitis when she’s stressed, and even after 10 days, she showed absolutely no signs of stress which I 100% contribute to Svetlana’s care and attention. Svetlana also brought in our mail, charged cat toys, and took wonderful care of our home while we were away, giving us daily updates and photos. I could not recommend Svetlana more!!!”

“Melinda is an excellent dog sitter! It was my first time having a dog sitter and she put my mind at ease! She was caring and great with Kasper! Overall, very satisfied with her care! Thank you again Melinda! ❤️”

“Bari is wonderful - super-responsive, conscientious, very knowledgeable about the four-legged creatures, and 100% pet whisperer! My 2 cats were instantly comfy with Bari, and during my week away she sent cute pictures every day which calmed my cat separation anxiety :). I highly recommend Bari for your pet-sitting needs.”

“Jaclyn is fantastic! She was communicative, professional, and clearly knowledgeable about both cat behavior and my own cat’s personalities. My kitties both loved her and the little report cards were super cute, her rates were also very reasonable. I would absolutely hire her again for any future trips”

About: Hi! I’m a Wildlife Biologist who just relocated to Sac from Hawai'i, and would love to get to know you and your fur babies! I’m a friendly, reliable pet sitter with a very flexible schedule to help meet your pets’ needs! I grew up with cats (Pumpkin, Smoky, & Mittens 🥹), and in high school, my household adopted Kaizer, a German Shepherd love-bug who is now a happy senior citizen! I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present and attentive during all house sits, drop-ins, & walks! I am happy to play fetch in your yard, take your dogs on long walks around the neighborhood, and you can trust that they’ll be happy and safe in my care. I’ll share photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make their time with me feel fun, comforting, and stress-free. If you’re new to Rover, use my promo code LAUREP25146 to get $20 off your first booking! 🫶

“Emily was very accommodating in my date change requests, she also helped right my yard after the hurricane blew through. Nefi enjoyed her play and being spoiled too! Recommended!”

“Tessa was amazing with our anxious dog, Polly. We recently moved to the area and were so happy to find someone that Polly was comfortable around. Tessa did drop ins for oral medication and potty breaks, and made sure that Polly got lots of love!”

“Christina is fantastic! She is a wonderful communicator and she always goes above and beyond (even goes as far as sweeping the space around the litter box and bringing in packages from the front porch :)). She is my go-to for checking on my cats when I'm out of town. I highly recommend her!!”

“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.”

“Samantha was a joy to work with. She was so kind and took such great care with Boo. We are so sad that she is moving out of the area and wish her the best of luck in all her endeavors! Thank you, Sam!”

“Davina did a wonderful job of taking care of our two kitties while we were away for several days. Our girls received plenty of cuddles, playtime, and detail-oriented care. Davina provided thorough, timely updates and responded quickly to our messages. We will definitely book her again. :)”

Natalie did such a great job. She went above and beyond to record and document her visits so well. I was quite impressed at her professionalism and quality of care,communication and attention to detail. 10/10 would recommend her services. Thank you Natalie and I look forward to more coverage in the future.

We basically never leave our dogs and even take them to work daily so it's hard not to worry. Lorna was amazing with our dogs! She was able to get Ripley and Reagan to eat separately, filled water, picked up poop but most importantly (Gave our dogs LOVE and PETS!) Lorna even sits down on the floor to cuddle and boy did our dogs look happy! We highly recommend Lorna!

Dustin is fantastic with my special-needs dog. He communicates clearly, is incredibly reliable, and consistently goes above and beyond. During our last trip, he even made an extra visit to let our dog out once the rain stopped- completely unprompted. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our pup is in such thoughtful, capable hands while we’re away.
