“Joanna has been the best sitter we’ve had so far. It was the first time we had a sitter for our new cat Sera, who is usually very shy around strangers and never comes out. But around Joanna, Sera was friendlier than she is with us!!! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our fur babies!”
“Donna was amazing with my Australian Cattle Dog that sometimes doesn’t allow strangers around her or in her territory. She went above and beyond with doing extra things that she saw needed attention while we were out of state. She is very confident and loving. I will definitely ask her again to watch my girl when needed. This was an amazing experience. I highly recommend her for ur fur babies and ur house!!!!! 10 out of 10”
“Amy took amazing care of our pup! She was so conscientious and sensitive to Zillow’s needs. I appreciated the constant communication, photos and notes! She obviously knows dogs and they love her! I’d highly recommend her to all my friends and family!”
“Johnna was wonderful. She went above and beyond in caring for my elderly cat, and helped me understand how Rover works. (This was my first Rover booking). She is reliable, detailed, and gives great updates on your pets. I am so relieved to know that there is somebody I can trust to come into my home, and care for my fur babies. I look forward to being able to call on her in the future.”
“Nancy (Annie) was AMAZING! Truly made our trip enjoyable in that we didn’t have to worry about our three older pups. She understood their special needs, communicated frequent photo and video updates, and was very thoughtful with our babies and our space. I’d feel lucky if she were available to care for our dogs when we travel next.”
About: I recently graduated from New Mexico State University and moved to Sacramento. I have been a pet sitter/walker for about 5 years for friends and friends of friends in my community, as well as taking care of my own for 15 years. I have one sweet chihuahua and a torti cat! I have experience walking different dogs as I volunteered for dog walking for Petsmart and Petco when they have adoptions. I am responsible, kind-hearted, and compassionate for animals. While in my care, I will always ensure the safety of your pets as if they were my own. This is currently my only job so I am able to be with your pets as often or as long as needed! I know some pets may require more attention than others and can work with their schedule. I will treat your pet just like I do mine. Plenty of attention, make sure they have food, plenty of water, and any other special things they like during the day
“Brooklyn has a great spirit and my pup is always excited when I come home to tell me all about her visit. My baby girl gets the best cuddles and energy whenever Brooklyn pays a visit!”
“Mariah took care of our dog for a week we were away. it was great to get picture updates as our sweet girl is 14 and it was going to be a warm week. Mariah was very quick to respond to questions and concerns as was willing to accommodate us as I thought we might need to add an additional day. We will definitely use Mariah again in the future!”
“Ashlin took good care of our cat while we went on vacation. We received pictures every visit and felt confident she was in good hands. She was thorough with good questions during the meet and greet. We will be using her services in the future.”
“Jenelle was so wonderful taking care of our dog while we were away. She is incredibly kind and very responsible. I had great piece of mind knowing she was their for our dog!”
About: I’m a dedicated dog parent with hands-on experience caring for small and larger breeds. I currently have a French Bulldog, previously cared for a Miniature Pinscher throughout her life, and regularly provide drop-in care for a pit bull. I understand the importance of routines, patience, and attentive care during visits, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication. I can provide visits that fit your pets’ needs and routines. My schedule allows for reliable drop-ins, and I’m happy to coordinate timing that works best for you and your pet. I follow your instructions and routines carefully, from feeding to walks to playtime. I pay attention to your pet’s personality and preferences so they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for during every visit.
“Kate did a wonderful job dropping in on our two dogs and helping with walking in the evenings during our week long trip. It was so comforting knowing that they were being well taken care of!”
“I'm hesitant to write this review only because I want to keep Jourdan forever! She was absolutely fantastic with our cat, Binx, during our weekend getaway. He adored her and we came home to a very happy Binxy. He was well fed and taken care of. She's super punctual and communicative - I felt as though Binx was in great hands. The updates and pictures were so appreciated! ?I can't wait to have the opportunity to travel again and hire her!”
About: With experience in puppies, seniors, meds, and anxious pets, I offer calm, patient care. I keep routines consistent so your pets feel safe, happy, and understood. My mornings are dedicated to caring for my granddaughter until 1 pm, and afterward, my schedule opens up for pet sitting, walks, and drop-ins. I love building my afternoons and evenings around giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. Your pet’s well-being comes first. I provide a quiet, stress-free environment and follow all feeding, medication, and walking instructions carefully. I’m attentive to small details, keep communication open, and make sure your pet always feels secure, understood, and loved.
“I felt very assured that my cats were in careful hands throughout my time away. Very detailed and thoughtful check ins gave me continuous peace of mind. Clearly a lover of animals! Would love to book Abigayle again when I next need coverage.”
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s what I love most. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. I am known to wing it if you’re not very detail oriented or if you have a simple pet. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!
About: I have 15 years of pet care experience. Growing up my grandmother always needed help with her cat and dog, whether it was feeding them or walking Spuds! I have experience in bathing both cats and dogs and I personally give my cats a quarterly wash-down. I am comfortable with administering topical ointments or giving shots if needed. I assisted many times with my local TNR program and have great experience with cats specifically. I am currently a part-time student and working an internship that is based on the EST time zone. So I am up early and ready to go at all hours. I am work from home and my classes are also online so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I will always animal proof homes regardless if it’s mine or not. Pets having access to fresh water is always a must. Caring for pets is a case by case as all of them have their own personalities! If they need quiet, that’s cool or if they’re more rowdy I can get down with that too!
“I so appreciate the time and attention they gave my Apollo. He has severe anxiety and managed to win him over. They are great!! Will definitely be booing with them again.”

Donna was playful with our dogs, & conscientious regarding recording and observing during her visits. She had a flexible schedule and was exceptionally reliable as well as doing a perfect job tending to our 3 dogs’ needs! She was committed to filling up their water bowl often (after rinsing and wiping it out) and being playful with the dogs each day. Our dogs loved her!
Joanna did a wonderful job during her drop-in visit with my two Labs. They’re very high-energy boys, and she handled them so well! She sent lots of photo updates, made sure their water bowls were full, and even brought in our Amazon packages, which we really appreciated.
There are not enough words to describe how great Alyssa and Kyle are. They went above and beyond for our dogs. They are so knowledgeable and kind. They had wonderful communication and they are easy to work with. We would give them 10 stars if we could! Truly an amazing experience and amazing individuals!
Nadiia was great! We loved her in our greet and meet. She took the time to get to know our doggies. Took them for a short walk. She did a great job at communicating with us when she came to check on our doggies. Very happy with her and will definitely use her again. Thank you Nadiia.
Ashley was so great! Very communicative, left detailed notes, and followed directions perfectly. She went above and beyond and made me feel really comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her the next time I need services from Rover!
Nancy (Annie) was AMAZING! Truly made our trip enjoyable in that we didn’t have to worry about our three older pups. She understood their special needs, communicated frequent photo and video updates, and was very thoughtful with our babies and our space. I’d feel lucky if she were available to care for our dogs when we travel next.
We had the pleasure of having Kendra do drop in visits for our cat, who requires multiple medications, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She went above and beyond in ensuring our cat’s needs were met, was incredibly responsive, and followed all the instructions to a T. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Brooklyn watched our 2 dogs and 4 cats via drop ins for 3 days while we were on vacation. She did a great job, she came when booked to come, for the right amount of time, and sent daily updates and pictures. We always felt like we knew how everyone was doing, and all were happy when we got home. Thank you Brooklyn!!
Levi was absolutely wonderful to work with! So kind, friendly, and easygoing—we felt completely comfortable leaving all our pets in Levi’s care. Communication was great throughout, and the photo updates of our pet family while we were traveling were such a thoughtful touch. Two thumbs up for Levi, who truly does an outstanding job. Highly recommend!
I was gone for a significant amount of time and felt very assured that my pets were well taken care of and loved. I received photos and a message daily. I cannot say how much I appreciate Leslie for her attention and care she gave my little animal family. THANK YOU!
Mckenzi is very reliable and well-loved by my four cats. I travel thousands of miles away but don't have to worry about my animals because they are in her hands. I have worked with Mckenzi for almost three years now and I really trust her with my pets. Thanks Mckenzi!
I hired Sara for a drop-in for my two cats and requested she also water my backyard vegetable garden. During the meet and greet my cats warmed to her quickly and I knew she would be great with them. She took notes on what to do and where to find things which gave me confidence in the service she would provide. On the day of the drop-in she was punctual and communicated when she arrived. She sent pictures, handled all the tasks to care for our cats with ease and went above and beyond to play with our two cats. I would hire Sara again and recommend her to others. Your fur babies would be in great hands. Thank you, Sara!
