About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs since age 15, I bring calm, reliable, and high-attention care to every pet I work with. I’ve volunteered with the Humane Society and a local Bay Area puppy rescue, and I’m especially confident supporting puppies, senior pets, and animals who require extra medical attention. I’ve raised two dogs of my own—Player (a full-sized Collie) and Kona (a toy Maltipoo)—and have provided ongoing care for an Australian Shepherd (from 8 weeks old through adulthood), a senior German Shepherd, and a Bengal cat. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at home while keeping routines and care instructions consistent, while letting you feel reassured your pet is in good hands while you are away with as many updates as you’d like! I have open availability so I am able to drop by for walks, check-ins, or overnight stays as you need. I find that keeping the dog in their own environment is the least stressful to them. I am able to accommodate whatever you and your fur baby needs! I do have a fenced in yard with no current animals in the house, however I find it best for me to stay in the dogs normal environment vs bringing them into a new one. I am open to discussing if you prefer I keep them at my place, but heavily prefer staying at your home with them.

Great experience! She followed all care instructions, and our dog came back happy and well exercised every time. Communication was great and we felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Would definitely book again. 🐾

Jessica is a terrific dogwalker! She was on time every day and our 2 dogs just jumped in her car and loved their walks, especially since I had pulled a hamstring and couldn't take them on walks myself! We will definitely ask for Jessica again if we need dog walking in the future. Thank you, Rover, for having such an excellent, nice, friendly, and conscientious person on your site!

About: I currently have two dogs at home that have been raised since they were puppies. I provide consistent routines for our dogs and am confident in my ability to provide stability for your dogs while you are away from home. My home has a fenced off area indoors and outdoors to give your dogs plenty of space to roam around and not have to be fully cooped up all day. I will help your dogs have a home away from home. I currently have a full time job, but my job also allows for work from home so my schedule is based on my ability to be home during your pet’s stay. Even if I need to be in office, I can come home during my lunch break for 30 minutes to tend to the dogs. On weekends I will be home and only go out for a few hours at a time for groceries. I am very familiar with crate training and other simple tricks for dogs. I always feed all dogs separately to ensure no food guarding occurs and we monitor the dogs throughout meal time. I am comfortable with feeding basic medications if needed.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and I don’t just “watch” pets—I build a relationship with them. My own dog, Gadget, is almost 12 years old, and I’ve been his lifelong best friend, snuggle buddy, walker, and groomer. Whether it’s trail hikes, neighborhood strolls, or indoor games like hide-and-seek, I tailor care to what each dog enjoys most. What makes me different is my calm, caring approach. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to respond to a pet’s needs, not just follow a routine. I believe clear communication, trust, and creating a safe environment are essential to happy pets. From house training to meal routines to peaceful walks, I care for every dog like they’re part of my family—because to me, they are. As a stay-at-home dad, my schedule is flexible day or night and pet care is a natural part of our daily rhythm. I’m available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends to care for your pup with the same attention and love I give my own buddy, Gadget. My two daughters are also part of our pet-loving household—they enjoy going on walks and sharing snuggles with our furry visitors. Whether it’s a calm companion or a playful pup, your dog will be part of a warm, active, and caring environment throughout the day. I’d like to be mindful of creating a safe, trusting, and interactive environment for your pup in your home. I’d like to think I have a great attention to detail and like to keep things organized and clean just the way you need it.

About: I had a beagle from age 6 to 22. From 22 to 36 I had a Maine Coon. I currently have 2 cute ginger cats and a fat grey and white cat. Everyone was a rescue! I own a small business and work from home. I can get to your home in the Elk Grove area very easily and quickly to visit with your critters. We prepare fresh meals for our cats. We haver cat backpacks and crates to transport them around. They like to visit outside and pretend they are still wild. One likes to explore. The other two are afraid of their shadows.

About: We are a mother, daughter duo! You may meet myself YingYing or Annie, my daughter. However, we provide the same adequate care! Animal sitting has been a big thing of ours since we can remember and now that we have adopted Bingo, it has pushed us to do this full-time. We have had Bingo for about 3 years with no issues and no emergency pet visits. She is healthy and lively albeit a little lazy. You can say she is at the top of our food chain in our household. We live in an area where there are trails right next to our house for walks and the park is a block away. We also have a minivan that can take the doggies to the park if they have mobility issues. We are equipped in handling pushy dogs when they are walking and can control their behaviors. Additionally, we can read some body cues from dogs. Please message or email us before booking so we are aware of your dog’s situation and are able to care for them to the full extent. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids aged 10 and 14 so I can accept bookings whenever is necessary. I intend to pet sit as a full time job with opening on the weekends as well. Bingo is quite calm and careless. She is trained to go into a bedroom on command and we have multiple helping hands to situate her and your own fur baby.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, animal owner and pet-sitter and I have my own mini-farm, myself! When it comes to your furry babies, I’ve got you! I don’t work during the week, and weekends are flexible for me to take care of your pets. Since I have my own bundle of animals, I’m used to feeding routines, walking dogs and caring for pretty much anything. Whether in your home or mine, I’ll do things the way you ask me to. Want them crated, walked or fed a certain way? I’ll do what you need me to do. Want proof and photos, guaranteed time with your pet, or any other odd pet situations? I’m your gal.

About: I have been caring for dogs for most of my life, starting with my childhood dog, Rocky, a King Charles Spaniel, whom I helped raise and take full responsibility for until we had to unfortunately put him down due to old age. This included daily feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and attending to his overall well-being. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. My first year of college, my aunt would drop off her toy poodle named Milo. Whenever her and her family would travel, I would take full responsibility for Milo, whether it be a weekend or a week. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic play or relaxed companionship, I’m happy to make sure your dog is well cared for. I’m currently working 2 part-time jobs as well as being a part-time student. I am able to work my schedule around your desired hours a week in advance! I have a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure pets follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, and rest. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away.

About: Hi there, welcome to my Profile! :) Ever since I was a child, I've been extremely passionate about pets. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles, and even goats. I even helped my cat birth a litter of kittens right in my very own bedroom when I was in fourth grade. I have experience with senior-pets, administering medication, bottle-feeding, and even crate-training. Animals aren't able to verbally express their needs like us, so experience is necessary in order to figure out what each one needs to live a happy life. I've translated this experience into my job working with special needs children and adults. I'm extremely patient, caring, and passionate about making a positive impact on the world. I hope you entrust me with the care of your pet! I'm currently working part-time at a second job and have a great amount of free time! I'm available seven days a week, times will change weekly. I'm extremely flexible and able to work with different schedules! I have a fenced yard including a fence surrounding my in-ground pool. Pictures can be provided if necessary! I have a medium-sized backyard including a grass area for potty breaks.

About: Hi there! I’m Irene a Vet-Tech of 11 years turned into SAHM. We live with our two sweet cats and a 1.5yr old toddler so we’re used to having a full (and slightly chaotic) house. My husband also WFH so your pet will rarely be alone! My experience in the vet field has really shaped the way I care for animals: gently, patiently, and always with their comfort and safety in mind. I’m comfortable with all personalities, from shy and anxious to energetic and goofy. I can also handle pretty much any medical needs your pet might have such as medications, injections, SQ fluids, nail trims, ear cleanings, eye/ear meds, even bandage changes. I know how stressful it can be to leave your babies, especially if they need extra care, and I want you to feel completely at ease. I send detailed updates throughout the day, along with so many photos and videos you may run out of storage. There will be no surprises about how your fur babies are doing :) If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely caring, this EG vet tech auntie would love to help you. Feel free to reach out anytime. Please message me about scheduling and how flexible the timing is! I am available most mornings and evenings and we can find something that works for all of us. I follow instructions to the dot. I am very detail oriented and insightful. I am constantly on look out to make sure your pets are safe and happy. I am an open book & love to give advice to pet owners because at the end of the day, a happy healthy pet is a happy life.

About: I’ve been petsitting for dogs, cats, small animals & farm animals for over 10 years now. I grew up with Bull Mastiffs and now currently have 3 rescues who I spend much of my time with. Im comfortable administering medicine, bathing/grooming, training, exercising, and any cleaning necessary in addition to sitting. I’ve taken training and behavioral classes and have volunteered with local shelters and rescues for years. I currently work as a receptionist for a veterinary hospital & foster dogs and cats in my free time. I am open to both short + long term sitting! I do work long hours at the vet hospital - my normal schedule is 11hr shifts F-M, with my days off being T-Th. If you book out far enough, I may be able to change my work schedule to accommodate (but no promises). I always try to be flexible and want to make sure that when booking, that I will be a good fit for your family + pets. My pets are my children, and when petsitting or fostering I provide the same care I would to my own. I can assure you your pet(s) will receive all of the love, energy, and attention they desire. I have also sat for pets who are more anti-social and want to spend time by themselves & have experience dealing with all sorts of behavioral circumstances. I always appreciate a care-sheet so that I can stick as closely as possible to your pet’s normal schedule, and can/will always provide photos and updates throughout the duration of your trip. I keep tidy and will clean as well as water any plants, grab mail/packages, or whatever else you can think of that would be needed while you’re away!
