Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Lake Alhambre

“Megan was fantastic with my cat Norman. Norman is a diabetic cat who can be aggressive with strangers when they try to give insulin, so it's often tough to find sitters who can manage him. I was so happy with how patient and compassionate Megan was with him. She was extremely reliable and a great communicator, and was able to make sure he got his insulin on time everyday. I would really highly recommend Megan, you can definitely trust her to take great care of your pet!”

About: I have 5years working experience with both large and small domestic/captive animals. This, along with my education at UCD, has helped me gain utmost confidence in reading an animal’s body language and behaving in ways they can be comfortable with me. I am a big fan of enrichment, so I am all for anything you’re willing to try for your pet that can get their minds stimulated! I’m detail oriented and skilled at maintaining whatever level of energy your pet needs. I’m currently working full time at a farm animal sanctuary and have the flexibility to walk or drop in on your pup between 6a-11a and from 9p-overnight as needed I have a 1bed apartment and a friendly golden that is trained to be around reactive dogs. I love to visit nearby parks and green belts, so rest assured your pet will have the sniff of a lifetime!

“Audrey did an awesome job watching my cats, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. My cats loved Audrey back, as evidenced by pics of them crawling all over Audrey, lol! The litter box was clean, and they were fed and happy when I got home too, just like I was hoping. Audrey was kind and pleasant to be in contact with.”

About: I treat every pet like my own and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities! I’ve had animals since I was a child and have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I follow routines closely so your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. You can count on regular updates and close care every step of the way :) Because I babysit part time, my schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs and routine to ensure they get the consistent attention and care they deserve! I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent so they feel safe and stress free in their own home. I’m attentive to safety, keep a clean environment, and make sure your pet gets lots of attention, playtime, and affection. I also communicate regularly so you always know how they’re doing.

About: A former UC Davis graduate. I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. I’m a dependable and attentive pet sitter who focuses on creating a calm, low-stress experience tailored to each animal’s personality and routine. I’m especially skilled at reading behavior cues, helping shy or anxious pets feel comfortable, and maintaining consistency with feeding, cleaning, and enrichment. My background in structured, fast-paced environments has made me highly organized and reliable, so pet owners can trust that every detail will be handled with care and responsibility I’m currently free during the work week most times of the day. I also have availability on weekends on a need to need basis. I’m ready and willing to spend as much time as your pets need. I wouldn’t be able to take care of pets in my own home but can do whatever is needed in their homes. I am good at providing structured resting time as well as play and can provide support with any trailing being done in the home

“Jessie is wonderful to have as our pet sitter! She communicates well and was so great with Oslo. She is totally trustworthy and we will definitely be calling upon her again!”

“Juliana was wonderful with her once/day visits over as one week period with my very sensitive indoor cat 🐈. I appreciated very much her initiating an initial meet&greet, but mostly her reliability and sweet, calm manner, which was perfect for my cat. Will definitely call on her for cat attention again. Many thanks, Juliana!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for many types of dogs, and it has always been more of a passion than a job. I will always care for and love your dog like one of my own! I currently work part-time and am available daily in the afternoons (after about 1 PM) for check-ins, walks, feedings, and more. My schedule is flexible in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I am very detail-oriented and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I make sure they are well cared for and receive plenty of love and attention. I approach every dog with a calm demeanor, moving at a pace that feels comfortable for them so they can feel safe, relaxed, and at ease in my care.

About: I grew up with dogs (a very sweet, energetic Australian shepherd mix, a crazy but loving Jack Russell terrier mix, and a super athletic labradoodle), so have loved and cared for high-energy dogs from a young age! I also have recent experience cat sitting my friends’ cat, which I really enjoyed :) I’m a registered nurse but haven’t found a job yet, so I’m looking to Rover for the interim! My days are very flexible when I’m in town. My husband and I just bought a home in Slide Hill Park, so we have a fenced-in backyard and a dog door that my dog can help your dog learn how to use :) A little about our dog: he’s a very sweet 9-month-old golden retriever/siberian husky mix named Oreo who we rehomed from another family who has to give him up because of landlord issues. He’s very friendly and loves to exercise and play with other dogs! He’s still intact for now— hoping to wait until he’s at least 1-year-old so he can finish growing. I love to run/walk him in Slide Hill Park, the Greenbelt, and the Arboretum, and I would love to take your pet along as well! I also really enjoy taking dogs to the dog park so they can socialize 🐕🐩🐕‍🦺🦮

“Wenchi did a great job walking Rio for the first time. He isn't used to strangers or being left alone for a long time. Wenchi was very patient and kind in coaxing him out of the house for his walk. I loved the communication with her and the photos which gave me assurance that he wasn't unusually stressed with this situation. I would definitely use her again to walk Rio.”

About: We are excellent dog, cat, bird, poultry, reptile, and fish caretakers as we have raised most of these, and a few years ago, we had a thriving Rover business taking care of folks' animal babies. We can take care of medications if your pet needs: We have administered medicine to most of the animals on our list, including oral medication for a rooster and injections for a snake. We have had some experience in training our current dog as a service animal. While we have not had the chance to care for farm animals on our own, we love them and have had experience being around them (horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs, alpaca). Animals, plants, gardens, farms, and home-care are all in our wheelhouse and are the foundations to our lives. If you are looking to have your fur baby stay with us, we have a large home with a fenced backyard. Our German Shepherd loves to play with other dogs, and we take him and our guests to local dog parks or fenced fields to play ball and or frisbee. We take care of our guests exactly how we want our pup to be taken care of! I work part time remotely and part time I will need to be in the field. What that means is a lot of the time, I will be in the home, hanging with your furry, feathered, or scaly baby, working on my laptop. During the times I need to work outside of the home, my 19 year old daughter (who has been doing Rover with me since she was 11) will give the best care in my place. I have a thriving Airbnb business in my home for over a decade, so I have a ton of experience and mindset on home-care: I treat other folks' pets and homes as well as I treat my own. I make it point to keep my clients connected via photos and updates. If I am providing boarding in my home, our 4 year old German Shepherd will love to play with your pup. If I am providing sitting in your home, then my pup will stay home unless requested for a playmate in your home.

About: I've owned multiple dogs from seniors to puppies and I will treat your pet with the same care I treat my own. At my house they will be able to play and relax to their heart's content. If I am not working from home my husband is. So your pet will be able to freely go in and out as they please, with some pets and playing in between! I have a fenced yard and a lab mix to keep your dog company. I can give medicine, kennel, or care for your dog and their schedule any way you need.

“Amy took great care of our dogs while we were away. She worked with me on the drop-in schedule to ensure the least disruption to their normal routine. I appreciated the Rover cards and photos from each visit. And being responsive when I checked in. Thanks, Amy!”

I aim to create a stress-free, fun environment where your pet feels safe and right at home.

“Carmen is the best. She took care of Nuomi so well followed all the instructions. (Oh and also did I mention that she takes awesome pics?) would ask her to take care of my pup again for sure!”
