About: I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits etc. I believe animals come into our lives to make it better and to give us unconditional love. I have trained all my puppies as well as cared for my parents elderly Bullmastiff. I am very sensitive to the needs of pets and can feel when something is wrong. My schedule is open Monday - Sunday, I am a stay at home fur mom and I can not wait to meet your fur baby. All of my cats and dogs are indoor. I believe that is the safest way to keep them healthy and protected. However, if your fur baby is outside I will make sure all gates, doors are closed, locked and secure!
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since childhood, and I also have hands‑on experience working with dogs in a shelter environment. I’m continually improving my skills as a handler and I’m comfortable supporting animals with different temperaments and needs. I pay close attention to medication requirements and administration to ensure everything is done safely and on schedule. I genuinely love animals and treat them with the same level of importance and care that I give to family. I am going to be working part-time and will have fairly open availability. Please reach out and I will do my very best to accommodate your needs. I will always ensure that the backyard does not have any holes in the fence or areas of concern before the pet has access to the outdoors in order to ensure safety and security. I feel using a leash is extremely important, especially when developing trust with a new pet. I'm not comfortable with taking pets to dog parks, unless this is a regularly scheduled event for your pet and they are comfortable around strangers and other pets. I truly would treat your pet(s) as my own and I am protective over my pupper, so yours would be in great hands!

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.

My day often begins with morning walks or runs, which not only keep me active but also allow me to enjoy quality time with the pets I care for. I schedule dedicated times for feeding, play, and grooming, ensuring that each pet gets the individualized attention they deserve. My flexible part-time job gives me the freedom to balance work and pet care seamlessly. Whether it’s taking dogs on hikes or engaging in playful activities with cats, I make sure that caring for pets is a joyful and integral part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety and trust by providing a secure and welcoming environment tailored to their needs. I ensure that my space is pet-proofed, with safe areas for them to play and relax. A structured routine for feeding, walking, and playtime helps pets feel comfortable and reduces anxiety. In clients’ homes, I respect their space and routines while maintaining the same level of care and attention. I take extra precautions to follow any specific guidelines provided by pet owners, ensuring their pets feel secure and loved. Open and honest communication is key; I keep pet owners updated on their pets’ well-being, reinforcing trust and peace of mind. Whether in my home or theirs, my commitment is to create a safe and nurturing environment where pets can thrive.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pet with the same love and care you do. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering routines, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. Caring for my own dog has also taught me patience, consistency, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra space or a calmer approach. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. My availability is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pup’s preferred walking times, whether they need morning exercise, midday breaks, or evening strolls. As a dog mom, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I provide patient, attentive walks focused on safety and happiness.

I am currently working from home, from Monday to Friday, I am at home all day long with my dog. My little son goes to daycare during the daytime. My dog is friendly, he likes to make new friends. There is a dog park in my community and nice quiet dead-end trails in my neighborhood.
About: Hi! My name is Graysen and I’m a Sacramento native living in the North Sacramento area. I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience with animals with anxiety and medication needs. I’ve cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs and can handle a range of active levels. Animals have always been part of the family and I love getting to know their different personalities and quirks. I’m an active person and would love to take your dog out on walks, or we can be couch potatoes too! I own a business and have a flexible work schedule, so I would love to do something to fill up some of the time I have at home. I currently can move things around to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening bookings, so just let me know what you need! I cannot currently offer services at home unfortunately due to the animals I already have. However I can definitely do house visits, walks, or overnight stays at your place. I’d love to know your dogs schedule for feeding, walks, etc so I can be consistent with your animal’s needs!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I started walking. I currently have a beautiful bengal named nova and a tiny chihuahua named lucky. I used to dog sit and help out with my neighbors senior dog as well. I have looked after my friend’s animals for years. All dogs are puppies to me no matter the size or age! I currently am a stay at home mom looking for work to make a little money doing something I love and that means spending time with animals! I am willing to be flexible and extend what hours I am available if discussed ahead of time. I would love to do walks and enjoy your fur babies to help people. I have always been very sure to make sure all gates/fences are closed, all doors are closed, pets are accounted for and making sure meds are dispersed correctly. Your pets are safe with me.
About: Proud dog mom and foster dog mom 🤍 my husband and I love helping out our local rescues by fostering as often as we can. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, starting with my first family dog when I was just six years old. Growing up, my family raised a variety of breeds, from a tiny Yorkie to a massive English Mastiff, as well as a lovable Labrador. I’ve always had a deep love for dogs, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets—whether it’s dog sitting, walking, or simply keeping them company while they’re away. One of my proudest achievements is the training my husband and I have done with our own dog, Ziti. We’ve dedicated time to researching and practicing different training methods, successfully teaching her basic obedience commands like sit, stay, lay down, and paw, as well as fun tricks like “between” (where she sits between our legs), “search,” “high ten,” and even “jump.” I believe every dog is capable of learning with the right approach, patience, and consistency. Training methods may vary depending on the dog, but I take pride in working with each one individually to help them build confidence and master new skills. I’m excited to share my knowledge and experience to help your dog thrive! I am available throughout the week, some evenings throughout the week, as well as on the weekends. I especially enjoy taking our pup out in the mornings during the week and having a family day with my fiance too on the weekends and getting to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. It would truly make myself and Ziti (our dog) so happy to be able to share that experience! I crate train my dog at my house as she has been crate trained since she was little. I designate certain blankets, areas on the couch, and places throughout the house that our dog is allowed on and make sure that I clarify if there is a similar standard in a client’s home.
About: I have been taking care of pets through Rover since October 2023. Before that I took care of many dogs, cats, and other animals too as I grew up. I specialize in giving medications, playing with energetic pets and being a calm presence for anxious ones. I have open availability, besides fully booked days and a few personal commitments here and there. I try my best to help as many pet parents as I can. While in a client’s home, I treat the house with respect and pets as if they were my own. When given a schedule or routine, it will be followed precisely. I guarantee that I will provide a safe and stimulating environment for your pets
About: I have experience caring for both typical and special needs dogs. My dog who has sadly passed was epileptic and had seizures regularly. My other dog had severe skin issues and allergies. She was regularly medicated and had to be fed a special diet. As a dog owner myself, I am familiar with dog behavior and understanding that there are special cases out there that may require more attention. I am also a plant mom and excellent house guest. My area will always be kept tidy and how you left it when you return. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I am currently in law school (online) and I work as a substitute teacher part time, so I am afforded a balanced schedule so that I can provide you with my services as well. Most weeks and weekends, I have open availability! I want my care of your pets to be as if you never left their side. I am communicative, transparent and intentional as a pet owner and pet sitter. I am an active person who loves to hangout with animals. I enjoy a good movie and a good meal, or a hike.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, ect since I was in middle school! I have also watched my cousins dogs when they go on vacation. I love taking care of animals !

As a passionate animal lover, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve the absolute best care, attention, and affection.

My background includes managing different temperaments, understanding animal body language, and adhering strictly to specific dietary and medical routines. Having my own beloved pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and vigilance. I treat every single animal in my care with the exact same level of devotion, respect, and safety that I demand for my own furry family. From puppy training basics to gentle senior care, I’ve got it covered! 📅 Availability & Daily Routine I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I pride myself on being highly present and attentive.

Let’s give your pet the best day ever! 🐶🐱✨ Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m used to building my day around routines like walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and consistency. I’m home enough to provide regular care, supervision, and companionship, and I enjoy being active, so walks and exercise are an easy part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep their normal routine as stress-free and familiar as possible while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I make sure every pet is supervised carefully, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their individual needs and routine. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I believe in clear communication and will always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own pet. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners every time.
