“Maria was super friendly and kind. Even when one of our dogs was afraid having a stranger at the house she handled things great and communicated with me the whole time. She won both dogs over and they seemed happy to have her company. I would definitely use her again for any of our sitter needs. Thank you Maria!”


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.

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!).

“Victoria is incredibly patient with my cats. She clearly understands feline behavior and takes the time to let each one warm up to her at their own pace. She creates a comfortable environment where they can feel safe and express their unique personalities.”

“I would 100% recommend Melissa to take care of our fur babies again, and we are very grateful for her! She took care of our two cats, and she really went the extra mile for us to make sure our girls received the best care possible. Melissa was accommodating by coming and extra day when needed and by adding in extra feeding care for one of cats last-minute to address new health needs. She shared with us summaries and photos for each visit, which was a real comfort to us. We loved knowing that someone was there to take care of the girls' needs, give them enrichment/play time, made sure they didn't get lonely, and were safe. She always responded very quickly, and I am grateful for her great communication with us. We appreciate Melissa very much!!”

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: 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!

“Elenys was AMAZING!! I cannot be happier with the care she provided to my fur babies! She is very responsible, responds quickly and efficiently, and is super friendly! My boys absolutely adored her! She goes above and beyond! My little guy is a rescue who can be very timid and she took her time with him and completely won him over!! I would highly recommend her! I honestly felt completely relaxed because of her constant updates and pictures! Thank you again Elenys! Sirius and Albus love you 🥰”


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: I’ve loved cats since I was literally a baby — like, always wanted one of my own. I’ve house-sat for a friend’s cat before, and I’ve also taken care of my boyfriend’s dog regularly. I feed him, play with him, and make sure he feels safe and loved, even though I don’t always know the breed 😅. I’ve also worked in customer-facing jobs like retail and food service, and I’m currently in school to become a licensed esthetician. So I’m used to staying clean, being on time, and following routines exactly — especially when someone’s trusting me in their space or with something important like their pet. I’m very open-minded and easy to talk to. I don’t judge anyone for how they live — your home, your pet routines, or your beliefs. I’m just here to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible weekday schedule and I’m usually free mornings and evenings. I’m the kind of person who double-checks things (like “Did I lock that door?” or “Did the cat get enough food?”) because I genuinely care about getting it right. When I’m in someone else’s home, I treat it with total respect — like I’m a guest, not just a sitter. I follow all instructions exactly, from feeding and walk times to how your pet likes to be approached or cuddled (or not). I always make sure doors and gates are secure, I clean up after myself, and I give your pet my full attention so they feel safe and not alone. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your home and your animal, so I do my best to keep things calm, clean, and consistent while you’re away.

About: With two years of experience caring for dogs and cats since moving to California, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of pets of all sizes. Growing up with both small and large dogs, I’ve always had a love for animals. I recognize how important your furry friends are to your family and treat them with the same love and care as if they were my own. From puppies and kittens to senior pets, I’ve provided attentive care for animals of all ages. I am currently available on weekends and after 4:30 during the weekdays. While I work full time I still have been able to provide reliable care for those who relied on me. For pets in my own home I have a camera which I monitor whenever I am not with the pets even if I am just in a different section of the apartment. I crate my little one and whoever is in my care while I’m away to ensure they aren’t able to harm themselves. I am very attentive and very detail oriented and am easily able to determine when a pet is acting out of character to intervene appropriately and in a timely manner. For pets in your home the same rules apply to my attention to detail and care. I will go out of my way to ensure the safety of your fur family during your time away doing whatever it takes.

About: I'm an animal lover who loves to share her time with these beautiful 4-legged friends. I have been taking care of dogs and cats for about a year now. Neighbors, family and friends have put their trust in me to take care of their precious pets and they feel very calm in my company since I do everything with patience, love and respect. I work remotely some hours during the week and on weekends, I am fortunate to do it from anywhere. So I have the rest of my free time to have fun with your pets and learn new things together. I have two Basset hounds at home very territorial. For that reason I prefer to offer my services at my client's home and ensure that their pets are calm and comfortable.

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.

Eniyah S.
“Eniyah went above and beyond caring for my two American Shepherds while I was away on a trip. These two are high-energy and can be a handful, but she handled them with so much patience, love, and professionalism. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, and it was clear they were happy, exercised, and getting tons of attention. She even took extra time to work on some basic training cues with them and made sure they stuck to their feeding and play schedule perfectly. When I got home, they were calm, clean, and clearly well cared for and honestly, I think they were a little sad to see her go! I can’t recommend Eniyah enough. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, she’s the one. Thanks again, Eniyah! – Patrick”

Belleza M.
“Belleza was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my two golden retrievers on several occasions when I went on vacations/work trips, and I could tell my babies were happy and relaxed the whole time. I really appreciated the regular updates and adorable photos of my doggies playing, it made me feel at ease knowing everything was going smoothly. My doggies got plenty of love, attention, and exercise, and I came back and they were just as happy and healthy as ever. I would definitely trust Belleza again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter!”
