“Deanna and her family took great care of Albie. We got updates and she was very accommodating when we ran late to pick him up one of the days. Albie came in tired and happy both days. Her dog Raiden is a sweetheart. Definitely recommended.”

“Bari and Felix were great!! They sent us plenty of pictures and updates and our dog had a great time at their house, and even made a friend. We'd definitely have him stay with them again!”

“Wonderful experience and loved all the photos and updates!! Manuel took great care of my pup and treated her as his own. Nice fenced in yard and great pup of his own. 10/10 would recommend ?”

“Tony and his dog Millie were great! My anxious pup relaxed with him quickly and she had a lovely evening playing in the yard. Super safe yard and house, Tony seems very knowledgeable and experienced with all sorts of temperments. Definitely recommend!”

“I couldn't ask for more from a dog sitter. Marcie followed my instructions, provided a comfortable environment with positive stimulation, kept me updated with messages/pics and was just an overall pleasant person. Wonderful job!”

“Katherine was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Vigo. She is clearly very experienced and comfortable with all different kinds of dogs, which immediately put us at ease. We felt completely confident leaving Vigo with her for two consecutive days while we visited Sacramento. Katherine has an excellent system for thoughtfully and safely socializing dogs, and it was clear that Vigo felt comfortable with her and engaged right away. Our dog has A LOT of energy and loves to run and play, and he was genuinely happy and very content when we picked him up both days. We couldn’t have been happier with the care Vigo received. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone with dogs of any breed or temperament. We wish she lived closer to us for regular stays but will absolutely go back to her any time we’re in the area.”

“Roy was an excellent fit for Whiskey he had plenty of time room and energy for our little doofus to play A+ communication and the regular updates and photos were a wonderful way to add peace of mind my wife and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough”

“Reginay was kind and accommodating. As far as we can tell, she took care of our pups well, and respected their space when one of ours was slow to trust new people. She even came to our home a few days ahead to meet the dogs, at our request. All in all, I would recommend Reginay for short term per sitting or day care.”

“Kevin took great care of my dog! I know she enjoys her time here because she runs to his front door as soon as I let her out of the car. Kevin provided daily pictures and followed all the instructions on how to care for her. Definitely recommend.”

About: I started volunteering at the Antioch Animal Shelter in the 4th grade. Since then I have volunteered at numerous shelters and rescues, including the emergency animal shelter in Oroville after the Camp Fire. I'm Disaster Animal Rescue Team (D.A.R.T.) trained, animal CPR and first aid certified, and have years of TNR experience. I have had many exotics as pets, including a reef tank at one time. I have no issue feeding crickets and worms, but I can't feed snakes rodents. I'm a lifelong vegetarian, so that would traumatize me. Lol. I also love rodents, and currently have 2 rescue guinea pigs. Animal care and nutrition are a passion of mine. I'm also an expert teeth brusher! I brush my cats and dogs teeth every night and some of my pet sits as well. I'm very experienced giving medication, even pills to cats and my recently adopted cat Ricky is diabetic. Two of my regular cats I sit take meds, and one gets insulin injections, so I'm very comfortable with both and also know how to check blood glucose. Animals are allowed on the furniture in my home, even the bed. A couple of dogs I regularly sit sleep in the bed with me and my dogs. I treat other people's furbabies the way I would want my furbabies treated. I'm a helicopter pet parent so I totally understand how hard it is to trust someone with the ones you love. If I ever thought something was wrong with your pet I would notify you asap, and I have no issue taking an animal to the vet. I have a rescue dog who has occasional seizures and a rescue kitty with kidney disease that I give sub-q fluids to every day, so I am very comfortable with special needs animals. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to pet care. I actually have a pet thermometer and carry a microchip reader in my truck with an extra leash. You'd be surprised how many times I've used that chip reader! Being a helicopter pet parent I NEVER EVER leave an animal outside alone, not even in my fenced in yard. I don't take chances. I'm also obsessively clean, so your litter box will not be a hot mess when you return, and if your dog uses a potty pad no problem. I also have waterproof vinyl plank flooring so accidents and kitty puke is easy to clean up. :-D. When I board animals it is very much mi casa esu casa! I'm also more than happy to water plants when I do drop-ins as well, since I have them myself and am also a gardener. :-) I work from home 3 days a week and the other 2 days I come home for lunch since the office is only 2.5 miles from my house. I'm home most weekends as well. I follow the care instructions to the letter. If your pup requires a crate it must be brought with them, since mine are not crated. I am comfortable giving medication and supplements, measuring food, following a raw food diet, feeding exotics, etc. I'm also comfortable grooming for an extra fee, but will never ignore a mat in their fur or charge extra for daily grooming like toothbrushing.
“Deborah is a very attentive and loving with our pups. She takes them on 2 walks a day, plays with them, sends loads of pictures and even bathes them sometimes! I would recommend her for dog sitting and doggy daycare. Thank you Deborah for taking such good care of our Mousse and Piperoo!”
About: I have experience with a wide range of pets! Medication, grooming, and basic care all in one person who actively communicates to ensure your satisfaction and care of your family member. I was a dog/cat groomer for 6 years and worked at a doggie daycare for 4 years, working with a wide range of breeds and personalities has helped me accurately read pets and their needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small pets. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it’s morning feedings, litter box cleaning, grooming, or quiet cuddle time, I schedule each task with care and consistency. I make sure every pet gets the attention and comfort they need, and I adjust my routine around their habits and preferences. For me, caring for pets isn’t a task—it’s a meaningful part of my day. I am available around the clock so just let me know when you need me! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I create a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they feel safe and loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, playtime, grooming, and any medication needs—so they experience as little stress as possible. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space with plenty of enrichment and supervision. When visiting a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure their pet receives attentive, personalized care just as they would if you were there.
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life ever since I was a little kid—they’ve been my constant companions through everything. There’s just something magical about them: the way they greet you like you’ve been gone for years (even if it’s just five minutes), their unconditional love, and how they turn a simple walk into the highlight of the day. I absolutely love walking dogs, feeling that tug on the leash as they excitedly explore every scent, or just spending quiet time with them curled up nearby. They make the world feel less lonely; I never truly feel alone when dogs are around. Lately, I’ve been bringing my sister’s dog up from Fresno to stay with me for weeks at a time, and it’s been pure bliss—extra playtime, more cuddles, and that doubled-up dog joy. I’m at my happiest when I’m surrounded by them, whether it’s throwing a ball in the park, brushing their fur, or just watching them dream with those little leg twitches. Dogs have this incredible gift for bringing out the best in us and filling our days with genuine happiness. If you’ve got that same kind of love for them, you know exactly what I mean! 🐶❤️ Lately, I’ve been off work for a while, and I’m looking to fill my days with some real excitement. I’ve been bringing my sister’s dog up from Fresno to stay with me for weeks at a time, and it’s been pure bliss—extra playtime, more cuddles, and that doubled-up dog joy. But to amp things up even more, I’m thinking about diving deeper into dog-related adventures: volunteering at a local animal shelter (walking and playing with pups who need it most), trying out dog agility classes or hiking trails with furry friends, joining a dog meetup group for pack walks and play dates. I make my dog healthy foods to eat, I always wash her up after walks and play with her with her toys, we love to just chill on the couch and watch tv.
About: I love animals which includes pets! I come from a home that has two of the sweetest pitbulls. Moving out I of course got a cat, and she does well with dogs! I also watch my family member’s dogs at my home and they do excellent with her. Each pet is unique in their quirks and what makes this gig especially fun in figuring out what is it. Hire me to give your pet the care they deserve. I currently only work a part time job for 2 days out the week from 11-4pm. However my partner works full time at home and is my helper in this! We have the same values about pets and will ensure amazing care. Big living room area with tons of space to be in and rooms. Closed doors for alone time but most importantly front door with access to street closed off.

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a dependable and caring pet sitter offering walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m attentive to routines, patient, and always focused on making pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away I’m flexible and available a wide variety of days! I prefer a days notice but can sometimes make last minute bookings work if needed :) Caring for your pets and treating them as my own is my highest priority. I will ensure that they are taken on plenty of walks and remain on their appropriate schedule. I am always open to special requests that fit your pets needs as well, please just let me know!

Kevin was amazing! He was very responsive and flexible with drop off and pick up times for my commute with work. It was my first time leaving my new dog with someone during the day and Gracie was happy to see him each day. He was great with taking photos and following care instructions. Will definitely book him again!

Anna is exactly who you want looking after your pet. Maple, our dog, wags her tail so much and almost jumps out of the car to run to the door when we pull up to Anna’s house for daycare! If Maple could write this review, she’d tell you about nice walks, great front/back yard for sunbathing, and the 1:1 cuddle time. As Maple’s human, I’m very appreciate of Anna’s flexibility, communication, and great photos from daycare. Thanks Anna!

Caroline was very communicative and took great care of our dog, Millie. Millie takes a while to warm up to people and Caroline was happy to interact with Millie on her terms. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day which really eased our minds! I would book a service with Caroline again.

Kylie was the first person we chose to watch our puppy, Birdie, off rover and we are so happy with our decision. She's so sweet and updated us throughout the night on our pup which made us feel more at ease. We will hands down be contacting her again for future stays.

Patty was amazing and so flexible! We're from out of town and wanted to float the American River and couldn't bring Pretzel with us, so we decided to book Rover for him. She sent us pictures and was very communicative which we really appreciated! We'll definitely be booking with Patty again if we are in town :)
