About: I enjoy getting to know clients and their animals and building lasting relationships with the family! I also enjoy the exercise I get with Rover! I'm available full time for dog walks, home visits, or pet sitting in your home. My preferred time to walk your dog is between 9-5 any day of the week. I come to your home and care for your pets in the way we agree upon meeting. Feeding, walking, and playing with your pets while you are away, so you can have peace of mind.
About: I've been pet/house sitting professionally with a company for about 2 years. I have a few years of experience working in the pet industry (dog daycare/boarding/parks) as well. I have lots of experience working with dogs of many different sizes and temperments, so I know that each dog is different and can cater to various needs. I also have a 9yr old lab and two cats at home! I love all animals, so if you have more than just dogs in your home, count me in! My schedule is very wide open! I just moved out to California from the midwest, so I am ready to start caring for your pets! I take your instructions very seriously, and will care for your pets in the best way possible. Theirs and yours happiness are my top priority!
About: I have worked in animal care for over 12 years, caring for everything from cats and dogs to barnyard animals (horses, sheep, goats, chickens), small mammals (rabbits, chinchillas, hedgehogs) and even exotics (armadillos, parrots, hawks, iguanas, and more)! I have worked in a dog training kennel, a cat rescue shelter, an AZA-accredited zoo and have owned high-energy, active dogs my whole adult life. I have fostered for a local rescue and am comfortable administering medication (including subcutaneous shots and oral medicines), assisting with training and behavior modification, and working with your requests! Since we are very active, we can help wear out your pup's excess energy with a long hike or just snuggle all day long! My dog is dog-friendly and would love to keep yours company with me if you like, but can also stay home. We are active and love having a bigger pack when friends come to play! I travel and house sit with my 5-year-old border collie/heeler mix, Lark. We love to meet new friends wherever we go and currently have out home base in Sacramento, CA. For us, house sitting together means we can bring even more fun and play to our clients, which leaves everyone happy, tired and less stressed! Lark and I travel full time in our van and can maintain separated spaces if need be. More often than not though, we like to create a new little pack dynamic with our clients and that means careful introductions for dogs before assimilating into your home to make everyone most comfortable.
About: Both dogs and cats have been a part of my life for a while now. In the last few years I've transitioned from cat to dog owner. I pride myself in training both my dogs to be well-behaved, loving and friendly. I've helped care for dogs belonging to friends and family, and if I'm not caring for a dog you'll likely find me at a park with my dogs doing a lot of outdoor activities! My current job is flexible so I can schedule walks and visits freely. If recurring walks/visits are of interest, I'm happy to work something out. Being outdoors with my dogs daily is of incredible importance to me. It means my dogs are happy and healthy, which helps them with their long-term health as well.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life, from huskies to chihuahuas, and started pet-sitting at just 8 years old. Growing up with shelter rescues, I understand the patience and care needed for anxious pets. I’ve cared for multiple pets at once—cats and dogs of all sizes—and treat every animal like family. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or extra reassurance, I’m here to provide loving, experienced care! I have a cat of my own, so I understand the importance of socialization & consistency in a pets routine. I’m willing to work with owners to figure out the best schedule for their pet and shift my schedule around where possible to accommodate the needs of their animals! Safety for your pet and respect for your space are my highest priorities. I am a proactive sitter, and make a concerted effort to understand your pet’s space, needs, and boundaries. I want to make sure that your pet is comfortable around me & that your space is found as nice (or better) than you left it!
About: I’ve been taking care of pets of my own since I was a little girl. Animals have always been something that I’ve been passionate about and something that has always brought me joy no matter the size, color, or species I am always welcoming aniamls with open arms and do everything I can to make sure they know they are loved. I have an open schedule monday through sunday and I am free anytime of the day so I am available whenever my help is needed! I have a back yard that your furry friend can have fun and go potty in, and I also have a very spacious home so they have room to play around inside as well. I also have a park right next to my house that I can take them to go for walks and play there as well.
About: My love for animals started at a young age; always the one to bring home the stray dog. From the wild to the domestic, I am a true animal advocate. I recognize that dogs have evolved into unique and intelligent beings, deserving of the same respect as any member of the household. I strive to assure you feel at ease knowing that your beloved pet is well taken care of in a safe and secure environment. Daily pics sent via email or text are provided. A plan for your pooch's stay at my Guest House will be tailored to your dog's individual personality, behavioral patterns, and owner preferences. If your pet needs 24/7 supervision, please inquire about availability before booking your reservation. A convenient location, we have a large shaded and fenced back yard for little dogs to explore and romp. Medium-sized pooches can be accompanied on walks around the pet-friendly neighborhood. A comfy bed awaits your pup for a sound night's sleep. Recently retired, so I can devote even more time to your fury family. Frequent home check-ins or dog walks are provided in the immediate Lodi area. All pets have their own preference. When boarding at Sleepy Pooch, pets are well supervised. Frequent outdoor activity is offered in a large fenced back yard. Larger dogs can be walked daily, if desired. Your loved one can sleep in the bedroom, alone in a kennel, or with the host’s pooch if he/she prefers. For pets who prefer to stay home, your host assures security of your property when entering and exiting. A mask will be worn at all times while inside your home. I assess the situation to identify any housekeeping issues that need to be addressed to keep your pet and home safe while you are away. Any mail or packages are brought inside. Cat boxes will be thoroughly cleaned at all times. Rest assured that I will take responsibility for your pet as if he/she is one of my own family members. DOG WALKING NOTE. Please have doggy leashed and ready to pick up for their walk. If your request involves entering the home or property to retrieve and prep the dog for a walk, select “Drop-in Visit” and add a note to request a walk during the visit. —Proof of current unexpired rabies vaccination is required for all pets—

About: I have had dogs of all sizes and ages in my family throughout my life to which I started caring for my two Toy Poodles and two Irish Wolfhounds at age eight, up until college. I'm currently taking care of my roommates German Shepard puppy on a daily basis including walking, basic training, feeding, and bathing. I am currently enrolled in four college classes, so my availability is open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 12pm to 10pm. I am available Friday and Saturday from 9am to 10pm , and unavailable on Mondays and Wednesdays. I have unconditional love for all dogs and will be more than happy to provide a healthy and safe environment for your pet.

“Emily has been taking care of my girl for the last 5 months and I couldn't be happier. She is timely and flexible and Grace LOVES her. If you just need your pet to be walked while you're at work or drop in visits while you are away, you can count on Emily to take great care of your beloved pets!”

About: I just want to be around animals, especially dogs. I have had dogs my whole life, from yorkies to corgis to German shepards. I can watch, walk, bathe, and administer medications. Just let me know what you are looking for and I will make it happen! I have a full time job, but have a flexible schedule. Let me know what you need and we can figure something out! I will give whatever care your pet needs. I can go over to your home, where your pet is likely the most comfortable.

“Wonderful sitter. Initially my dog was a little bit skeptical but ended up enjoying her walks with Melissa. But unfortunately my dog separation anxiety is getting the best of her. I appreciate Melissa for her efforts and always being very communicative.”

About: I have a wide range of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from lower energy Pomeranians to high energy German shepards as well as a couple pitty mixes. I have some experience with senior dogs that required diapers and patience when moving. I’ve also helped with crate training and potty training dogs successfully. As for cats, I have a deeper description in the cat care section, but I’ve cared for cats of all ages who all had different personalities. I have covers so furniture won’t be damaged in case of clawing or scratching, and I have experience administering medication orally and to the eyes. My schedule this summer is currently fully open, so I would be able to care for your animal at all times. I would be away from my house as most for thirty twice a day, but if the animal does okay in the car they could come for the car ride as well if needed. I have a fully fenced yard with one cat who is an outside cat and does not care to come inside. In my home they would be aloud to roam around the common areas with bedroom doors shut. It is a one story house, so it’s easy on your animals joints. In my home I prefer to have the animals not on the couches and the house is cleaned thoroughly after every animal to prevent the spreading of anything past clients may have. In the neighborhood there is plenty of safe space to go for long walks.
About: I can take your pet for rides in my car to get pup cups! Totally cool with park visits or taking your pet to lodi lake for a swim day in my truck. I own two german shepherds and have been surrounded by dogs all my life. I work a part time job so I am mostly at home and am currently doing school online! I’m available mornings and after i get off of work at night! I have a fenced in yard with a kennel inside and outside. Comfortable neighborhood to take the dogs for a walk. I love sleeping with my own dogs and i would love cuddling with yours as well :)

Lodi dog parents share their Rover experiences
Chloe is a great dog walker with my large dog. She is able to control her when she gets distracted during their walks and has helped Katie not pull so much while walking. She is also friendly and easy to talk to and has a great attitude! Katie gets so excited to see Chloe when she arrives! Chloe is also knowledgable about dogs being that she works with them daily at her other job and has dogs of her own. You can tell she loves dogs!! I appreciate that Chloe also provides me with good communication if she is delayed (due to unforseen reasons) for taking Katie for her walk. Also, if I have any schedule change, it's been easy to modify the booking with her.

Hunter is fantastic with my dog. Tux adores him and he was great with the updates about the walk. He included plenty of photos and gave Tux breaks when he needed them. He also played fetch with Tux which is Tux’s favorite activity. I’ll definitely be booking with him again and highly recommend him. He’s a great communicator and is extremely punctual.

Katie loves taking walks with Kaili! She gets so excited when I lead her out to the front of our house to greet Kaili. She knows it's that day to take a long walk. Kaili is great with Katie too. You can tell she loves dogs. Katie is a 65 lb puppy (Golden Retriever) and is strong. Kaili is capable of handling her even though she can pull a little while in the beginning of their walk together. I am so grateful to have found a great dog walker through Rover.
