“Dustin was very patient with my anxious dog (and very patient with his anxious mamma). Thank you for hanging in there with him, I appreciate it. Highly recommended!”

“Carolyn is fantastic. Can't recommend her enough. One of our dogs was recovering from an injury requiring 3x day medication and wound cleaning during the 5 night house/dog sitting. His healing progressed well under Carolyn's care. Even our vet surgeon was impressed with how much his healing progressed at his check-up 3 days after my return. What a relief to be on a work trip and know my dogs were in such good hands. The daily texts and pictures were lovely. Carolyn even taught our small dog to be more confident going in/out of the dog door and stop slipping through the gate to bark at the back door!”
“Melinda was terrific. I have 3 Dogs and a cat, each with special feeding instructions. She was great with all communication, followed all instructions perfectly, and unexpectedly washed all the dog dishes and dishes she used. She sent some cut pics of the animals and I could tell they were all happy and comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend!”

“Jnaessa took loving care of my three critters (a needy dog and two cats). She gave them love and attention including extra attention to my fussy eater old lady cat to get her to eat. She sent me pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when I arrived home. I will definitely be booking Janessa again.”

“My husband and I cannot thank Morgan enough, so I will try to capture it in this review. Morgan was very responsive when I set a date and time we needed her. She asked to set up a meet & greet. My dogs were super excited, and she was straightforward to talk to; flexible with how to work things out for the stay. During her stay, she provided updates but was not overwhelmed with so many photos. Just enough to let me know the dogs are alive, and she hasn't pulled her hair out on them. We are confident that we'd like Morgan to dogsit for us again in the future!”


“Natalie does a great job working with our dogs and is super communicative and professional. We also adopted a new kitten only a week before our booking, and she was happy to take on the task of monitoring our pets’ interactions as they got to know one another. She’s very thoughtful and kept us updated throughout, so we never worried. Also, she left Project Runway on for our dogs when they were alone, and I thought that was pretty great.”

“Another amazing visit with Holly! Our 2 cats and 1 senior dog adore her, and Holly’s attentiveness and care allows us to leave town and not worry about our fur babies one bit. Thank you, Holly!”

“Bari was wonderful! We felt totally secure leaving our dogs and cat with Bari. She was communicative, helpful, and all-around awesome. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you, Bari!”

“Joel took care of my large breed dog in my home over Memorial Day weekend and I am so happy with how everything went. Not only did he accept the job last minute, but he went above and beyond during the boarding, picking up after my dog in the backyard, taking out my trash from the bins in the house, and sending me loving photos everyday. Joel is an excellent caretaker.”
“Olivia was great! This was my first time using a dog sitter, I have only ever boarded them. She was very patient with me and kept me updated with photos. My dogs were happy to see me when I came home and more relaxed than they have been in anyone else’s care.”

“I’ve never felt so comfortable and anxiety free leaving my beloved animals while on a trip. So grateful for her wonderful care, clear and detailed communication, and the ease all around.”

About: Pet sitter since 2017. I love animals and always had a cat in the house growing up. I was nomadic in my 20s and started taking care of my friends’ pets to get my cuddle fix. I am still pet free and full of love to share with your special friends. My experience is mostly with dogs and cats but also goats, birds, fishes, chickens, and a chinchilla. I am open to caring for all animals except horses since I do not have equine experience. I am also skilled at organizing, housecleaning, & gardening. I would be happy to add these services to pet sitting if needed. I am currently fully available to care for your pets. I have time to give them all the love they need so they are less sad to have you away. I love getting to know your pet’s temperament and interests. In addition to feeding and walking, I enjoy cuddling or playing with whoever I am caring for (the ones that like cuddles- I promise to leave fish in their tank!). I can easily bathe small to midsize animals while you are away for long periods and I am very responsible when it comes to medications. When possible, I like to take dogs out on fun excursions or to new places. If high energy, I prefer a safe area nearby to let them run or chase frisbees. Please let me know what needs your pet has!
“Kerstin is wonderful! She stayed with our two pups and kept us updated while we were away, and went above and beyond by coming back to check in on our girls and feed them when our flight connections failed and our homecoming was delayed. My husband and I are grateful she looked after our dogs so well, she made us all feel like family.”

“Abreena goes above and beyond!! We are so grateful for the care she gave to our 3 cats over a long trip away and would love to have her sit again next time we go out of town!”

“Trinity did a great job with my temperamental chihuahua terrier mix. He doesn’t like many people but he took a liking to her right away. She was very responsive in her communication and flexible for our specific needs.”

“Rachel was fantastic. I was on an extended overseas trip, and she provided daily updates and photos of Rex. Her comms are on point, and incredibly easy to work with. Thanks!”

About: With many years of pet care experience, I look forward to taking care of your furry friends. 😊 I recently moved to Sacramento with my two cats, Arwen and Mama. I'm enjoying getting to know the City of Trees. Pets are my favorite people. I enjoy both cats and dogs, whether they're shy or full of energy. I'm comfortable with drop-in visits or overnight stays, depending on what you and your pet need. My availability is open and I'm happy to drive to you for a meet up before starting service. You can trust me to take care of your pet the same as one of my own. Pet care is my main focus, so my availability is open and flexible. I have a reliable car and can get to anywhere in the city, as needed. You can trust me to be diligent with the safety and security of your pets and home. I will follow your guidelines and do everything I can to make your pet happy and comfortable until they see you again.
“Elisa took on a last-minute housesitting booking and did such a great job! She was so loving with my pup and gave her lots of exercise. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative overall, followed the instructions I left perfectly, and left the house very clean. I will absolutely plan on booking her again, including for drop-ins. Thank you Elisa!”

Medical Center pet parents share their Rover experiences
Joel did a great job house sitting and taking care of our dogs, Emi and Luna, for a week. We especially appreciated the attention he gave to Luna, who is older and needs daily medication, including eye drops. He handled her care confidently and responsibly. Joel was very professional throughout the process. His communication was clear, and he was thorough in making sure he understood all of the instructions for both dogs and the house before we left. That gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Joel to care for our pets again and would recommend him to others.

Been working with Alice for about 2 months now. She’s been a huge help! She has been doing weekly drop in visits with my pup, in preparation for a trip I had planned, I wanted him to be comfortable with her when the time came. I just returned from my trip and she sent my photos everyday and checked in/ gave updates. She left the house clean and tidy. My dog and I appreciate her so much and I am so thankful I found someone to help out so I can enjoy vacations 🙂 thank you so so much Alice!!!

Anicia cared for my puppy, Elsie, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As a young puppy who is still in training and struggling with separation anxiety, Elsie isn’t always the easiest, but Anicia handled everything with such patience, warmth, and professionalism. It was my first time leaving Elsie with anyone, and Anicia gave me genuine peace of mind (a rare gift). And when plans shifted, she stepped in to save the day. She was incredibly communicative, responsible, and attentive. She was also thoughtful about sticking to Elsie’s training and routine, and reached out when a question came up, which I really appreciated. And importantly, Elsie absolutely adored her (and her husband!), and it was clear she felt safe and cared for. I will absolutely be booking with Anicia again -- she’s a lovely human and an exceptional caregiver.

Aspen is always so wonderful to have sit for our pets while we are away! She checked in with pictures, was communicative, and overall leaves us feeling very confident that our pets are in good hands. Aspen goes the extra mile to care for our home, and we'd leave ten stars if we could. Thank you so much!

I would highly recommend Yanfei to anyone who wants a reliable sitter! She was so amazing with Simba, always on time and was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire stay. I felt very comfortable focusing on my trip having confidence she was taking great care of Simba! Will definitely be requesting again.
