“My first time using rover and having someone check in on our fur baby! By far exceeded my expectations!!”

About: I’ve been the cat/dog sitter for many different friends for years, it’s my favorite job hands down. I’ll care for you pet like it’s my own! I currently work at a cafe part time, so my schedule is very flexible! I typically am free afternoons/ evenings, but most mornings as well! Currently I am not caring for pets at my home, but will work with what rules you have at yours if needed! If your pet needs to be let out for a few hours or food/water refilled you can count on me!

“Katie did a great job dropping in on my two girls. They really loved seeing her. I will definitely reach out to Katie again the next time I travel without the dogs.”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own Beagle, who is friendly, well-socialized, and accustomed to living with people. Through daily walks, feeding, training reinforcement, grooming, and routine health care, I’ve learned how to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment for dogs. My home is a clean, smoke-free single-family house with a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so that every guest receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, quiet naps, or extra cuddles, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences and a strong background in biology, medications, and health-related research. My scientific training has made me especially attentive to details, including changes in appetite, behavior, energy, and overall well-being. I incorporate pet care into my daily routine, providing regular potty breaks, supervised backyard time, individualized feeding, and medication administration when needed. I have cared for many senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and maintaining their familiar routines. I intentionally accept only a small number of guest dogs so each receives attentive, personalized care. I provide personalized, attentive care in a clean, comfortable home with a fully fenced backyard. I intentionally limit the number of guest dogs to ensure each pet receives individual attention and a calm, safe environment. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, including those with special dietary needs and daily medication schedules. I am comfortable administering both oral tablets and liquid medications according to owners’ instructions. I also have experience preparing fresh, home-cooked meals for dogs, including freshly cooked chicken breast and rice, when requested and approved by their owners. I understand that every dog has unique needs, especially senior pets. I carefully monitor their appetite, energy, mobility, and behavior, and provide regular photo updates to give owners peace of mind.

About: Hey there! I'm from Wilton, and I'm great with animals. What sets my apart is I have had dogs, cats and horses my whole life. On top of that I also have chickens, ducks, goats, and geese. So I don't mess around when it comes to animal care. Aside from providing exceptional care with my personal animals, I've also worked at a dairy where I milked the cows, fed them, and spent HOURS of time caring for them- so I'm definitely not new to spending some great time with animals that aren't mine. A lot of people I think come to pet sitting sites to earn some extra cash spending time with YOUR animals because it’s "easy". Truthfully, I'm doing this because I want to ease the anxiety of someone leaving their beloved family members (Yes I'm talking about your pets because they are definitely family) with someone they don't know, and provide others with the same amount of care and love I'd want someone to treat my animals with. My dog has a personal morning routine to get her hyped for the day, so I'm good with animals that need a little extra TLC! I work part time 4 days a week Monday through Thursday 6am-3pm. So for the rest of the day I'm free! I love to be outside and staying active so if your animals love the smell of the outside and having someone play games that get their brain moving- I'd love to help! I also do not work on weekend's so am totally free to pet-sit on weekends and weekdays! I live on 3 acres with friendly dogs, and lots of opportunity for your pets to be around animals they typically wouldn't see! I also have a kennel area if you would prefer that.

About: Have grew up around dogs my whole life. Familiar with feeding schedules, administering medication, dog body language, as well as poisonous substances that may cause them harm. I have my own trained ESA animal (Queensland border collie, neutered male, all vaccines). He does very well with other small dogs, but I can keep them separated if needed. I have open availability to drop in and care for your pets! I can make myself very available to cater to your pets wants and needs! I live in a home with my dog and cat! I have a rather high energy dog so I prioritize mental stimulation and physical exercise. My cat is 4 years old so he also has lots of energy that we get out by supervised outside time or physical play!

About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my whole life, so I am very used to being around them. I love dogs but I do feel I have a close affinity with cats more. Either way they are both great to love on. I'm currently working from home right now so I have plenty of time to spend with the fur kids. I'm currently available whenever needed as long as its reasonable, and of course schedules will change the more work I take on. We have a big fenced backyard for any animals to run around it. And a dog a 2 cats that are totally fine around others. Especially the dog who would love any new friend.

About: Me and my family enjoy animals. We have a dog of our own and had a cat. We are very attentive with pets. We will play and walk your pet. We will make sure the pet is fed and clean. We have pet sitted before for family and friends for months at a time. We enjoy taking care of animals but particularly small dogs and cats. So please call me if you would like your pet in good hands. I am in the Elk Grove area. Thank you. I can walk your pets, provide daycare or overnight care. My family will enjoy taking care of your pets. Your pet will be in good care. We love our animals ❤️ I have a big fenced yard , and have a crate. As well as a dog fence, dog beds, a cat litter box, and plenty of toys for animals to play with.

About: Being a dog mom myself has taught me how different every pup can be. Some want to play nonstop, some prefer to stay close to you, and others need a little time to feel comfortable in a new environment. I’m patient and attentive to those differences. I pay attention to body language, energy levels, eating habits, potty routines, and overall behavior so I can recognize when a pup is happy, needs a break, or needs a little extra reassurance. I want every dog staying with me to feel seen, understood, and cared for. ❤️ The Care I Provide Your pup’s stay is more than simply having someone watch them. I want them to have a fun, comfortable experience while maintaining the routines they’re used to. I can provide: * 🐾 Plenty of love, attention & companionship * 🏃 Daily exercise and supervised play * 🌳 Safe outdoor time in our fenced yard * 💤 Quiet time and opportunities to rest * 💊 Oral medication administration * 🐶 Experience with senior dogs * 📸 Regular photo & message updates * ❤️ Personalized care based on your pup’s personality and routine * 🐶 Socialization with your own dogs * 🧸 Lots of play/enrichment * ❤️ Individual attention * 🛏️ A comfortable home environment * 🐾 Experience handling multiple dogs * 💬 Consistent communication with owners ⭐ Why Choose Me? Your dog isn’t just a booking. They’re a guest in our home. 🏡 I take pride in creating a clean, safe, loving environment where pups can be themselves while their families are away. I’m attentive to the little things, communicate consistently, and genuinely enjoy getting to know every dog that stays with us. And because I love building relationships with both pups and their families, repeat guests are especially special to me. 🐾❤️ Hi! I’m Naiomie, and I’m a loving, responsible dog mom who truly understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. ❤️ When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can relax, play, get plenty of attention, and feel right at home. I enjoy getting to know each pup’s unique personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide care that’s personalized to them. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, a professional cuddler, or needs a little extra patience and reassurance, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including senior dogs. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and making sure each pup’s individual needs are followed carefully. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, which is why communication is very important to me. I love keeping pet parents updated with photos, messages, and little moments from their pup’s stay so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for. 🐶💕 I’m flexible with advance notice and do my best to accommodate each family’s needs. My goal is simple: for your pup to feel loved, safe, and completely at home while you’re away. ❤️ I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a beautiful park outside my home to take your pup on walks and get active.

About: I am a dedicated and experienced pet lover with 9 years of hands-on pet care experience. I raised my female Pit Bull Terrier from the time she was just 2 months old and cared for her throughout every stage of her life. During that time, I provided daily care, companionship, and basic training, teaching her commands such as sit, shake, lay down, high five, and dance. I recently lost her, which has only strengthened my love and respect for animals. I would be honored to provide attentive, patient, and loving care while helping train and enrich your pet’s daily routine. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I currently work nights, which gives me full availability during the day to provide attentive pet sitting in my home or yours. I truly enjoy starting my mornings and afternoons with walks or jogs, making it easy for me to give pets consistent exercise, companionship, and care throughout the day. Your pet would receive plenty of attention, activity, and a calm, structured daytime routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I have a secure cement backyard and a pool that is closely monitored to ensure a safe environment at all times. I also live extremely close to a park with a large open field, perfect for supervised walks, exercise, and play. Inside, my home is spacious and pet-friendly, allowing pets to freely roam, relax, and feel comfortable in a safe, trusted environment that makes them feel at home!

About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.

“Natalie was amazing! She made me so reassured and comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Followed my directions to the T and gave me daily updates - will most definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Shental S.

“Excellent experience! She took wonderful care of Rubí over the weekend. She was kind, responsible, and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. Rubí was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her, and I would definitely trust her to care for my dog again!”

About: I have a great deal of common sense which is really helpful. I have also been around many types of animals since childhood and I enjoy them.

My common Sense comes in handy when caring for pets and a clients household. It's a joy to work with animals.

“I will definitely use Kelsee's services the next time we travel. She was always pleasant and flexible. I could not have asked for better. She gave us just enough contact with text and photos to keep us comfortable. We knew our 20-year-old cat was in good hands. She also kept the wild birds fed and potted plants watered. Thank you Kelsee!”
