“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”
“Cristina is the Best sitter we ever had!!! She is always on time and follows the instructions. And leaves the house clean like we can’t even tell someone was there. Truly animal lover, cares for them. We received multiple pictures and very detailed reports every time she visited my 2 senior fur babies. They were enjoying the time with her. I definitely can trust her more than 100%. If you are looking for trustworthy sitter, she is the one you should contact to.”
“Samantha was fantastic! My cat seemed to really enjoy hanging with her and she was very responsive and a great photographer too. I would definitely recommend her!”
“I was so nervous to fly across the world and leave my 2 cats in the care of a stranger for the first time, but I'm so glad I found Erin! She was so great with all the updates, pictures, was at my house every day at nearly the same time, my normally nervous girls opened right up to her, and I was at ease from the get go. Next time I'm out of town I'll be sure to book with Erin!”
“Outstanding pet sitters! They went above and beyond to care for my cats—ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, and a clean environment. They gave the beasts plenty of love, attention, and brushing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets.”
“Whitney was great with our two shy cats. She provided very helpful updates and photos for every drop in visit and also went above and beyond by cleaning up some messes that the cats had left. Would definitely recommend and trust for future bookings.”
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs since I was just born. I had one cat and one dog growing up both for 18 years and I currently have one cat that is 6 years old with a minor disability. My roommate has three cats. I have experience with behavior training, feedings, vet, appointment, walks, potty training, and recognizing emergencies that need immediate attention. I make my cats wellbeing a priority. They get a morning and an evening walk as well as the ability to go in and out as they please. They get wet food at the same time every day in the evening and dry food available to them always. They also get treats for behavior training and to better their tricks. I am available to complete any and all services needed to take care of your pet, whether that be in my place of residence or yours.
“Leah is so kind and understanding. From the first time meeting her, she made us feel comfortable and confident in her helping with our two very large and sometimes chaotic dogs. She listened to our concerns, their quirks, and all the information we threw at her. Finding her has been a huge relief knowing we have her to help us out when needed. She is the best!”
About: With years of experience in private and public pet boarding, I strive to uphold YOUR standard of love and care for your furry family member(s) while you’re away. While working part time at a daycare, coming home to care for my furry family members is a full time job. Although no two pets are the exact same in their care, I can assist in helping them stick to their regular routines while you’re away. Caring for pets in a clients home will be done in the same manner as they care for them while they are home. I intend to maintain regular boundaries and be consistent with rules that have already been implemented.
About: I am a licensed RVT and CPR certified. I have been in the field about 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, pocket pets and even some livestock. I am a full time employee for UC Davis. I get off work around 6 and have Thursday-Saturday off with flexible pet sitting availability on Sunday I would ensure I wear clean clothes over every time to limit any unwanted illness. With my job specifically I don't deal with sick animals so that won't be an issue. I am also used to placing animal in crates and potty walks.
“This was my first time using Rover and Elyssa met every one of my expectations. She had a very calming energy which my Zoe picked up on right away. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Elyssa!”
About: Hi there! I have 2 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. From zoomies to cuddle sessions, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I treat each fur baby like family, giving them all the belly rubs, playtime, and attention they deserve. My goal? A wagging tail by the end of every visit! I’m home for the summer with a flexible schedule, which means your pet will have my full attention. Whether it’s extra long walks, playtime in the yard, or cozy snuggles, I’ll be there to keep their tails wagging while you focus on your day. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I stick to their routines; feeding, walks, play, and any special care needs. I always give them plenty of love and attention. Think of me as a temporary stand-in best friend for your furry one!
“Contacted Monica w very short lead time. We were able to make the schedule of drop ins work. Thank you Monica for the flexibility. Her reports on the Rover cards were great w lots of pics. I would repeat w Monica when the need arises.”
“Davis was super attentive to my cat, Muc! I received daily reports and photos of how Muc was doing. Davis treated Muc like his own. I really appreciated the attention to detail. Davis is definitely my go-to.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have a lot of experience with a wide variety of animals, from big to small and all different energy levels. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your animal, especially when you don’t have family around to help out, and I would be happy to be that person for you. Throughout the weekdays I am able to let pets out in the morning before work and then again around 4-6 pm and finally around 8-9pm before bed. I love to spend time with your pets playing, going on long walks, and am able to help with simple training and administer medications if needed.

Anyone who chooses Athena as their pet sitter can rest assured their animals are in capable, caring hands. Respectfully, Pat P.”
