“Joanna did an amazing job making both me and Mona comfortable while I was traveling. She went out of her way to buy more food when I wasn’t able to before leaving, it was beyond appreciated! Photos were sent for each visit and they are now catalogued in my album because they came out so cute! I will definitely request Joanna again!”

“Danika did an excellent job taking care of my kitten, Karma! She was attentive to all the instructions and made sure Karma was well-fed, his litterbox was clean, and he got plenty of attention. I appreciate how she kept the house tidy and even took the time to play with Karma. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him. I highly recommend Danika to anyone in need of a reliable and caring house sitter.”


About: I love all animals. Really! I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience taking care of all types of animals, from cats to geckos to dogs and even baby deer! I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. I am comfortable administering medication and have extensive experience with senior pets and their unique care needs. I love playing with energetic big dogs, am always excited for a long walk, and love any cuddles from a furry friend. I have had my own pets my whole life and can never say no to making new animal friends. I understand how important our four legged friends are and I am committed to ensuring that you feel comfortable leaving your family members in my capable hands. I am currently working part time and am available to work with your schedule! I am available from Friday to Monday, and am happy to be flexible to fit the needs of you and your pets! I take a pets first approach to life. When my pets needs are met, they can relax and so can I. This goes for your furry loved ones, too. I’m committed to making sure your pets are cared for and loved and I always do my best clean up after them. Your comfort and privacy are a top priority for me.
“Without much notice, Brooklyn was able to drop in and tend to my two cats over the Memorial Day weekend. She is flexible, communicates well, follows instructions, and provided lots of pics during her visit. I’d have no problem using her services the next time I need pet care services.”

About: Hi there, I’m Rose (my profile says Maddison which is my first name, but I go by my middle name, Rose, to clear up any confusion)! Let’s see… I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and had the privilege of caring for my own senior pup until she was 17 years old. That experience taught me so much about patience, understanding and the special care older dogs require. Since 2014, I’ve been independently providing reliable, loving care to dogs, always ensuring they feel safe, respected and deeply loved. Whether it’s gentle walks, meal time, or just companionship, I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. I offer flexible availability to meet your pet care needs! On weekdays, I’m available from 8:30pm to 10:30pm for evening care. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, my schedule opens up from 1pm to 7pm , making it perfect for daytime visits and extended care. Additionally, I’m happy to provide overnight sitting from Friday evenings to Sunday afternoons, ensuring your pets are well cared for and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick check in or an overnight stay, I’m here to help! Safety is always my top priority when caring for your pets. I keep dogs on a leash at all times during walks to ensure they stay secure and under control. I’m also experienced in recognizing and de-escalating tense situations, whether it’s encountering other animals or navigating busy environments. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always take precautions to keep them out of harm’s way.
About: My entire life, I’ve been surrounded by furry friends 🐾♥️ I grew up with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, and fostered for years before I adopted my German Shepherd mix, Georgie, who is now my outdoor adventure buddy 🏕️ I’m walking/running/hiking every day, and I’d love to have your fur baby join me! They will be my sole focus, unless you want my pup to join for socialization. It’s up to you! ✨ I’m happy to answer any questions you may have, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! I know my pup is my life, and I want to show yours the same love, respect, and attention. I look forward to hearing from you! I work remote and have flexible hours. I’m also in school for Radiology, but my current classes are online, so my schedule is very flexible. This makes it so I can always find time to get outside for some exercise and adventure. At a client’s home, I can pop in and out as often as you’d like, and stay for several hours to give your pup all the exercise, love, and mental stimulation you’d like. I’m happy to do walks around your neighborhood, or if you’d want your pup to join me on a nearby hike we can do that too. I also have experience crate-training, and overnight dog-sitting is possible thanks to my flexible work schedule. With overnights, your pup is also welcome to get cozy at my apartment beside the American River, which has plenty of hiking trails and bike paths nearby to explore. My 65 pound dog is used to foster siblings, so he’d be content to have a furry guest. He’s fully vaccinated and has never been aggressive.
“This was our first experience with Rover and we were delighted. Danielle is professional, resourceful, reliable, kind hearted, and she did a superb job taking care of our cat. She kept clear communication going with us the whole time, which we appreciated. We will gladly ask for her services again in the future!”

“Our 2nd time having Kate watch our cats, and another great experience! She takes excellent care of our cats, gives them love and attention, and keeps us updated along the way. Highly recommend.”

“Breann is wonderful. She took such great care of my kitties. She was always communicating with me and I had no worries during my trip! Everyone should book her.. except I always want her to be available when I need a sitter!”

“I was very apprehensive of leaving my cats for the first time with a cat sitter.Derek listened to all my instructions and did accordingly.He send me pictures of them everyday and would have regular contact with me,letting me know about the situation.I felt very comfortable and at ease.I would definitely get his services again.Very happy with Rover and Derek.”

“Ashley is an absolute Angel. She really cares about her clients, and she’s 💯 % reliable and trustworthy. I can’t thank her enough for helping my elderly mom care for her beloved pets.”

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!
About: Since always having a love of animals, I have been dog sitting since middle school. In high school I began volunteering at my local animal shelter, and finally as an adult out of college I began work at a dog resort. I have worked there for two years and have worked my way through all the ranks. I am now ready to try it on my own at home. I love dogs and will treat your pups like my own. I work full time right now at a resort with my own office that I can bring your dog to as long as it is fully vaccinated. If you would prefer your baby stay at my home, then they would be inside the house alone from 8am to 3pm. I currently have a large, natural unfenced backyard and a fenced patio. My neighborhood is tucked away from any busy roads and when outside your dog may be teathered or loose depending on recall levels but always monitored. My mini Aussie is always off leash free roaming the backyard and knows to stay close. She is fixed and very friendly.
About: Loving One-on-One Dog Care from a Stay-at-Home Mom Hi there! I’m a stay-at-home mom with a deep love for animals and over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I offer personalized, one-on-one care by only accepting one dog at a time—so your pup gets all the love and attention they deserve in a calm, homey environment. For safety reasons, I currently do not accept large dogs, bully breeds, German Shepherds, or Huskies, as I have young children in the home. All dogs must be crate-trained, and you’ll need to provide your own crate and any necessary supplies. We’re an active family with a fully fenced yard and beautiful walking trails nearby—your dog will get plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and stimulation. I’ll also send you regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. A meet-and-greet is required before booking to ensure your pup feels comfortable with us and to go over all the details together. If you’re looking for a safe, loving, and attentive home for your dog, I’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I’m a stay at home mom so I will be able to give plenty of love and attention to your pup! Walks are also a big part of our routine. Your dog with be fully supervised in our home. If we need to leave for short errands during the day we require that your dog be crated to keep everyone safe. Your dog will have plenty of love and attention from our family!
“I was initially worried because my cat tends to be anxious when I leave. Ashlin watched my cat for 4 days and did a great job making him feel comfortable, safe, and mentally stimulated. She was even able to give him some medication. Definitely will be asking her to watch my pets 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: Having been through some pretty big life changes recently, I’m reminded to slow down and focus on things that make me happy. One thing that makes me happy is dogs. I’ve also wanted to get out and take more walks, so what better way to enjoy both than dog walking. I’ve had pets of all types all my life, but dogs are hands down my favorite. I currently have two of my own and occasionally watch my friends’ dogs. A friend of mine uses Rover, and I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a teen, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have taken a few training classes when my dog was a puppy and I have some experience with special needs (seniors, blindness, low mobility, and seizures). I work full time, but telework three days a week. For midday visits and dog walks, someone close to home would be best to ensure availability. We can always discuss evening visits or walks as well. For boarding, unless discussed and scheduled prior, weekends would best to ensure I can be home with your fur babe. I treat visiting pups like my own. They’re allowed on my furniture and in my bed. I have multiple crates of various sizes if a crate is needed. My yard is fenced, but dogs aren’t typically left unattended in the yard. I have seven free range chickens in my yard, so their safety is also a concern for me. I’m also open to discussion if your dogs’ needs don’t align with my typical routine; I don’t mind changing things up if it’s something I can accommodate.
Gold River cat parents share their Rover experiences
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!
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!

Emma was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Meiko while I was away and made the whole process really easy and stress-free. Communication was smooth and consistent.I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again for future pet care-highly recommend!
