About: I am returning to Rover after a long hiatus while pursuing my PhD. Before my beloved Stella (black pitty) passed away, we had a wonderful time dog-sitting for clients. After many years of grief and a very, very busy life in my doctoral program, I have another doggy companion, Bruce. We enjoy working from home together and are excited to care for your pets! Training my boxer, Bruce, has been such a rewarding experience, and we hope to have the chance to help others on their journeys to build strong connections between handlers and their beloved companions. Working from home allows me to adapt to different needs and routines to stick as closely as possible with your pets current routine to give them a sense of familiarity. My boxer, Bruce, knows when it is time for his meals, bedtime, or when I need to step out to run errands for the day. I intend to do the same by adapting to your pet's routine so they feel at ease.

About: As an educator with a bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, caregiving, patience, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. I'm dependable, attentive, and comfortable pet sitting, feeding, walking, playing with pets, following detailed routines, and providing plenty of companionship and affection. I'm also completely comfortable with the less glamorous parts of pet care, including cleaning up poop and other messes, because I know that's simply part of keeping animals happy, healthy, and comfortable. I've had many pets of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust to care for your pet and your home while you're away. While I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, I would love the opportunity to give that same care, attention, and affection to yours. I look forward to getting to know your pet, making them feel comfortable and loved, and caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 My schedule allows me to provide pet care on weekends and during times when I'm not working. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting, and I do my best to work with each pet owner's routine and scheduling needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I take caring for someone's pet and being trusted in their home seriously. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences their pet may have. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and the pet's surroundings to help keep them safe and secure. I also make sure to clean up after pets and leave the home tidy, because I believe respecting someone's home is just as important as providing loving and dependable care for their pet.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I got my first pet at 11, my lovely dog mocha, and have been taking care of animals ever since. I enjoy observing and playing with almost any animal no matter size or species. I have lots of experience taking care of injured animals as more often than not I took in these types of animals growing up and even now! I have spent countless times bottle feeding baby animals as well as performing other duties a parent animal would do. Currently I am unemployed, just looking for something fun and entertaining to do while I job hunt. I plan to continue after getting a job if things work out. I am free most days of the week, the only uncertain day is Tuesday. I have two animals currently, a leopard gecko and a Bombay cat. As two wildly different animals they both have special needs I attend. My cat, jiji, is disabled and requires me to be a bit more careful than you would need to be with a cat. She has no tail but a big attitude! Beam, gecko, is about 5 years old. I adopted him from a friend who would be unable to care for him. Leopard geckos can reach 15 years old and require quite a bit attention as they are sensitive to most things. Beam is also incredibly sassy, despite only being three inches.

“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”

About: I have a 9 year old cat of my own, adopted her when she was a kitten! Throughout the years I have also taken care of the family pets (two cats and one dog). I love going for walks and I would often have our family dog tag along. I have experience in given oral medication to cats + following a medication/feeding schedule. I’m currently working full time, Monday-Friday, I’m available to care/walk cats or dogs in the evening during the week or any time during the weekend. I provide a loving environment to any animal I come across. I want them to feel safe and comfortable enough to trust that they know I am a friend!

About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I fostered puppies and adult dogs for four years, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I also grew up with working dogs, so I am very comfortable handling high-energy breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they require. Whether it's a playful puppy, an active working dog, or a senior pet needing extra patience and care, I adapt to each animal's individual needs. I am confident handling dogs on walks and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs as well :) I am a full time student looking to fill my summer by taking care pets instead of adopting more! I have extremely open availability, whatever your pet needs Ill be there. I wholeheartedly understand the anxiety and stress that can come with leaving your pet in someone else's care, I have those same feelings when it comes to my own pets. Because of that, I will treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness, along with your peace of mind, are always my top priorities. While I am caring for your pet, I will be readily available by text or phone and happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. 🐾

“Michelle is an excellent dog Walker! She’s done a great job with my little girl VIDA. She is very in tune with her individual needs. I would highly recommend Michelle to walk your dog!”

“I have a small breed senior dog and a cat. Its hard to find someone I feel I can trust to give them the same care and attention as myself when I am away from home. Natalie is someone I know I can trust my babies with, she takes a bunch of photos each time she walks my dog and feeds him. She goes above and beyond every time and I can tell my dog and cat absolutely adore her and are happy when she comes to help. Thank you Natalie!”

About: I am here because I know how important it is to provide your pets quality care. I want your time away to be as convenient and stress free as possible. I know it can be difficult finding the right care and I am here to ease that worry while reassuring you I have experience and knowledge to provide quality care. I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away. I work from home and pets are provided care throughout the day. I know it can be hard to find someone you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet so I am to not only take excellent care of your pet but for you to rest assured your pet is in great hands. I have a fenced yard, as well as a space if you have a pet that needs to be confined or crated. I am happy to discuss needs and try to work out to make your pets stay as pleasant as possible. I ask that you provide all the things your pet is used to including schedule/ routine if you keep one so that their time away is comfortable and seamless.

“Jennifer was fantastic! She took great care of my pups, one of whom is very high strung. When we got home after a short trip out of town, the dogs were the least stressed they'd ever been after being separated from us. Jennifer stayed in touch regularly, sent lots of photos, and was reliable and communicative. She was also very flexible when I needed to adjust the visit times at the last minute. I highly recommend her!”

About: I am a caring and responsible pet sitter with 10 years of experience taking care of my own dog. I provide pets with love, comfort, feeding, attention, and gentle care to help them feel safe and happy. I’m a teacher who has summers off! I can work weekends and I am super flexible with time. I can easily adjust to your pets care! I can take care of your pet by coming as often as needed and can easily adjust to your pets schedule as I have little responsibilities at the moment. I have my own dog at home so I understand what entails to keep pets happy and cared for!

About: Nothing is more important to me than the health and safety of your family. Safety being most important, my next concern is that your dog has a positive and rewarding experience in any environment they find themselves. I train dogs. My walk price reflects that experience and value I add to your dog’s experiential learning. My core philosophy is that all learning be a positive incentive based experience for the dog. Boarding rates do not include dog training. Dogs in my care receive structure throughout their day including structured playtime, walks, training, and enrichment consistent with the needs of the client. Each dog is an individual, and I welcome a discussion to find out how I can best serve your dog’s individual needs! My demonstration dog is a 1.5 y/o Malinois Husky. He is stable with all dog breeds and sizes. I work him as a sport dog but he is built to be a companion dog. Dogs in B&T may be crated or in an exclusion room for compression and decompression when not actively being trained or exercised. They will also receive structured play and walks consistent with their individual goals.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals at other homes since I was a kid: neighbors, teachers, family friends. I was raised by 2 cats, and my parents always encouraged us to pull our weight and help the community. People are often surprised their pets are so comfortable with me so quickly! I recently was hired to watch an anxious Jack Russel Terrier mix because the first time I met her she didn’t bark, sat in my lap, and wanted to lick me all evening, and I didn’t even have treats in my pocket! I’m navigating life with my first dog, currently learning about my new pupper and scheduling. I’m open to new clients in Greater Sacramento and short visits. I’m working with youth at a site currently. I often make dinner at home, but also like to explore the town or neighborhood I’m staying (let me know if you have a local favorite). A few nights a month I spend at ceramics, rock climbing, hiking and camping, or seeing live music. I find that each pet is completely different. I want to make them as comfortable as pawsible in their space: where do they like to spend their time, favorite toys, treats, activities, parks, and schedules. Tell me about your pets likes and dislikes! I watched 2 dogs, one loved playing fetch, but the other just wanted to hold her own ball and spin when I threw for the other dog. So cute haha!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for pets and my commitment to their well-being. I specialize in creating a comfortable and loving environment for dogs of all ages. My schedule is pretty open these days so I am available to rocked your pet with a safe, loving, and engaging environment. I am flexible to accommodate your pet sitting needs. In my home, I provide a cozy and pet-friendly environment where your furry friend becomes a part of my family. They will have access to comfortable bedding, toys for playtime, and a secure outdoor area for exercise and bathroom breaks. Daily walks, interactive play, and plenty of cuddles are all part of the routine. Special diets and medications, if required, are diligently administered. For in-client home services, I ensure a seamless experience by adhering to your pet's established routine. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and maintaining a clean living space. I focus on minimizing stress by providing consistent care, maintaining their familiar surroundings, and offering companionship to ease any separation anxiety. Whether in my home or yours, my dedication lies in creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment tailored to your pet's needs, ensuring they feel secure and content in every moment.
