About: Hi! I’m Samantha! I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker with a deep love for animals. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds and volunteered at the Berkeley Animal Care Shelter, where I worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’d love to care for your furry friend like they’re my own! I currently orioritize pet sitting as my main job since I do not work outside of that! This means your pet(s) will be at the center of my attention throughout their care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet and home seriously, always following your instructions closely and keeping routines consistent. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care you can feel confident about.

“I can’t say enough Good things about Victoria! She has watched our cat, Mo, for the third time now and she does such an excellent job! Mo has had some medical challenges and has had some different medications he has had to take over the last few months and she has administered them like a Pro! She is punctual, has great communication skills, and I can tell she genuinely loves our cat. I feel so comfortable leaving him in her care. If you are in need of a pet sitter look no further- hire Victoria today!”


About: I’ve never known life without animals — I grew up surrounded by pets, and caring for them as part of the family has always come naturally. Over the years, I’ve become a trusted house and pet sitter for friends, neighbors, and family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs — from administering medication to going the extra mile to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m committed to treating your pet like my own and your home with the utmost respect, always leaving things better than I found them. I currently have full flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or special requests, I make it a priority to be present and attentive. Caring for a pet is a responsibility I approach with the utmost respect and care, especially when entrusted to enter someone’s home. I understand that leaving your pet, even for a short time, can be stressful and full of worry. That’s why I make it a priority to follow all instructions carefully—feeding, medication, playtime, and quiet moments—while creating a calm, comfortable environment. To help ease your mind, I’ll regularly send photos and updates so you can see your pet happy and well cared for. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, content pet and a home just as you left it (or even better!).

About: I love for animals, I’m reliable and provide attentive care. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, giving your pet one-on-one attention, fun playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet needs a midday energy boost or just a friendly face while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I always provide photo updates, cuddle time, and play sessions so you know exactly what your pet is up to while you’re gone. You can count on me to treat your furry family member like one of my own. 🩷 I’m available full time during the summer and school breaks, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. (unless I’m on vacation which will be communicated beforehand). Whether you need daily doggy day care, extended boarding, or house sitting while you travel, I’ve got you covered! I’m flexible with drop off and pick up times and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. I always make sure to follow client care instructions closely in order to maintain the pet’s routine and comfort. I go beyond and above to keep things clean, calm, and consistent with refilling food and water, scooping litter boxes, and making sure your pet feels loved and secure until you’re home again.

“Melissa is absolutely the best! She is the kind of person you want taking care of your pet when you are away! She does an excellent job and is a great communicator. It felt like family was caring for our cat. She makes great notes and takes pictures at each visit. Our cat is not usually friendly with other people but she was able to scratch her chin within a few days! That’s incredible! I would give her 10 stars if I could!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't speak highly enough of Kayla! She took great care of our three cats. From the outset, she was punctual and professional. Kayla is very communicative and we received regular updates via the Rover app where she used the notes function of the Rover cards to give details about her visit and their activities along with fun photos of her playing with our fur babies. It was evident she didn’t just "check in" on them, but genuinely spent quality time playing and bonding. We definitely hope to book Kayla for future trips and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.”

About: Hi, I’m Alesha! I’m a lifelong animal lover based in Vacaville with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, and even special needs animals, and I currently share my home with a chihuahua named Toby and two lovable cats, Pepper and Julius. Over the years, I’ve cared for high-energy puppies, senior dogs needing medication, anxious rescue pets, and food-motivated mischief-makers—I’ve seen it all! Whether it’s following specific feeding routines, giving medication, keeping up with energy levels, or just making your pet feel safe and loved, I take my role seriously and treat every animal as if they’re my own. My background in both personal and volunteer pet care gives me the confidence and patience to meet each pet where they’re at—whether they need a calm companion, a playful buddy, or a dependable walker who shows up rain or shine. I work a 8-5 in Vacaville. I can do visits and walks early before work, on my breaks or in the evenings. My schedule is decently flexible with weekends completely free. If you hire me for a visit, I will calmy approach your pet, and follow any instructions you've left, feeding, walking, treats, playtime, feeding, ensuring there's water and that they are happy and comfortable!

About: I rescued my dog, Skoshi, from a shelter in Okinawa, Japan. We spent 16 delightful years together romping across the U.S. I have extensive experience with dogs, including: walking, playing, feeding, elderly dog care, administering medication and bring joy and love into dog's lives. I am currently a full time dog walker/sitter. I have plenty of time to walk, play and care for your dog/pet. I'm available for walks (30-60 minutes), play dates and pet/house sitting. I'm generally available between 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM and overnight stays when sitting. When your pet(s) are with me, they have my full attention. My first priority is the safety and well being of your pet. Once established, I like to concentrate on exercise: walking, running, and playing. Any instructions given (crating, medication, meals, etc.) will be followed exactly. I'm excited to reinforce any training (sit, lay, stay, heal, etc.) as part of a walk or play session using (approved) treats and positive reinforcement.

About: I have a 17 year old senior dog as well as 1 year old puppy. I can handle all different personalities from grumpy old pup to super hyper puppy. Im available Sunday-Thursday occasionally I work at my job on tusday though. You can message me if you are worried about tusday otherwise I am pretty available for work. Like I have mentioned I have both a senior dog and cat. As well as young cat and dog. For the senior animals they typically need extra attention and things to help them with age. Where the younger you need patience with training and them learning ect. I did train my puppy though I am not a trainer I know a little.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals for the past 20 years. Cared for 2 chihuahuas, rescued 4 cats and tons of chirpy birds! I am 100% at home full time so I can care for your pets any time/ any day! I live in Vacaville and can do drop ins anywhere in town. I have a home that has no dogs but 2 cats. My backyard does not have grass but I can take your pets on as many walks as you’d like! They are also welcome to roam around my house or to stay in their crate, whichever you desire.

About: Howdy Y’all! 🤠❤️ Limited-Time Offer for August: I’m offering introductory rates through the end of August while I build my Rover profile. Any client who books in August will lock in these rates for repeat bookings for this month even as prices rise in September when my school schedule resumes. I’m a lifelong pet owner, college student, and military spouse offering calm, attentive care for pets of all kinds. I’ve always shared my life with animals and they’ve never just been pets to me—I’ve always seen them for what they are: family. I extend that same care to every animal I meet, providing them with patience, comfort, and love as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs and cats, from playful puppies to seniors and special needs or disabled pets. I’ve trained both of my rescue pups as an adult and have years of childhood experience helping train family pets. I have a lifetime of experience with all kinds of behavior, whether your pet is timid, anxious, excitable, or reactive. I know how to move slowly, offer comfort, and let pets set the pace when they need time to warm up. I’m also very consistent with care. Your pet’s routine matters to me. Whether it’s feeding times, walks, medication, or favorite toys, I follow your schedule to help your pet feel grounded and secure while you’re away. If a routine isn’t already in place, no worries! I’ll create one during your time away so your pet always knows what to expect and feels safe knowing when they’ll have company. My visits are never rushed. I stay long enough to make sure your pet feels calm, settled, and cared for before I leave. I don’t use a one-size-fits-all time limit. I tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs. I live in a quiet, very safe neighborhood on a military base, and I pride myself on being communicative, trustworthy, and respectful of both your space, expectations, your pet and their unique personality and needs. I provide end-of-day updates, photos, and anything else that helps give you peace of mind. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s warm, gentle, and truly attentive, I’d be honored to care for your pet. I’m currently on summer break, so my schedule is wide open and fully flexible. Whether you need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I’m available to match your pet’s routine and give them consistent, attentive care. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. Always. I believe this is especially important when they are in their own home where they feel most secure. I do everything I can to maintain the environment they’re used to. I’m very big on keeping things calm, consistent, and low-stress while you’re away. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s routine, whether that means feeding times, walks, play, quiet companionship, or medication schedules. I’m experienced with all kinds of pets, including those who are shy, anxious, reactive, or need extra space. I move slowly, stay observant, and adjust my approach based on what your pet seems to need in the moment. I’m also comfortable with special needs and disabled pets, and I’ve cared for animals who require medication, crate time, or extra support during transitions. Your pet’s physical and emotional safety are equally important to me. I know that your pets sanctuary is just as much yours as it is theirs. When I care for your pet I also care for your space. I always make sure doors are locked, mail and deliveries are secured inside, routines are followed, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. You can trust that both your pets and your home will always be in thoughtful, capable hands.
