“Dustin is the best! He is so friendly, kind of like family so you feel comfortable leaving your family pet and can relax on vacation. He watched our cat for us and even sent pictures daily. Will definitely use him for our next get away.”

About: Hi! I’m a Wildlife Biologist who just relocated to Sac from Hawai'i, and would love to get to know you and your fur babies! I’m a friendly, reliable pet sitter with a very flexible schedule to help meet your pets’ needs! I grew up with cats (Pumpkin, Smoky, & Mittens 🥹), and in high school, my household adopted Kaizer, a German Shepherd love-bug who is now a happy senior citizen! I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present and attentive during all house sits, drop-ins, & walks! I am happy to play fetch in your yard, take your dogs on long walks around the neighborhood, and you can trust that they’ll be happy and safe in my care. I’ll share photo and video updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make their time with me feel fun, comforting, and stress-free. If you’re new to Rover, use my promo code LAUREP25146 to get $20 off your first booking! 🫶
“Tessa was amazing with our anxious dog, Polly. We recently moved to the area and were so happy to find someone that Polly was comfortable around. Tessa did drop ins for oral medication and potty breaks, and made sure that Polly got lots of love!”

“Michelle was so so helpful despite me booking a trip and needing Rover care near to last minute. She is really attuned to detail and she went above and beyond with care, leaving my apartment clean and tidy. It’s obvious she’s an animal lover and she was so sweet in sending detailed updates about my cats. My travel plans changed and we had to modify the booking but Michelle was really understanding, professional and accommodating about it. Would book her again or recommend to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you!!!”

“I HIGHLY recommend Svetlana! She is absolutely wonderful with our cat, who can be a little feisty and needs lots of play and attention. Svetlana does a wonderful job taking care of her while we’re gone and making sure she gets all of the exercise and attention that she needs. We were gone for 10 days at one point, and often our cat will break out in dermatitis when she’s stressed, and even after 10 days, she showed absolutely no signs of stress which I 100% contribute to Svetlana’s care and attention. Svetlana also brought in our mail, charged cat toys, and took wonderful care of our home while we were away, giving us daily updates and photos. I could not recommend Svetlana more!!!”

“Samantha was a joy to work with. She was so kind and took such great care with Boo. We are so sad that she is moving out of the area and wish her the best of luck in all her endeavors! Thank you, Sam!”


“Emily was very accommodating in my date change requests, she also helped right my yard after the hurricane blew through. Nefi enjoyed her play and being spoiled too! Recommended!”

“If I could give MORE than 5 stars I would. Natalie was fantastic with my cats, and took special care to make sure both of them were happy and comfortable throughout our trip. She gave us very detailed drop in notes, played with our kitten to wear him out, and treated our special needs older cat with as much care as we would. It's clear she cares for each animal she watches over. Thank you so much again, Natalie!!”

“Jessica was incredible! Our kitties loved her. She was responsive, responsible, and truly a joy to meet. I frankly think our cats were slightly disappointed that it wasn’t jessica walking through the door on the day we came back! We had a bit of snafu with our litter robot and Jessica helped us trouble shoot with ease and grace. Would highly recommend!”


About: 3 years of kennel and veterinary assistant experience through various veterinary clinic environments and grew up with dogs, cats and bunnies. Comfortable with some grooming and other services, just ask! I trim nails every 4-6 weeks. Litter boxes get freshened up weekly and full changes and cleaning are 1-2x a month. I don’t currently own dogs but walk my sister’s dog and my cat on a harness occasionally. Feedings are twice a day and grooming once a week. Let’s start that conversation together. I work best with clear communication and knowing what is needed for day care and overnight pet sitting. Willing to work with the right client.
“Hans is the very best! You cannot ask for a better person to take genuine care of your pet. We so appreciate his wonderful communication and fantastic photos of our Tucker!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life (cats, dogs, birds, bunnies, reptiles, and more) so I’m pretty comfortable with all kinds of pets and personalities. I have a cat of my own and am very much the go-to auntie for a lot of other cats and dogs. I love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and a little spoiled while you’re away. I'm off work through mid-May, so my schedule is pretty open right now. Something consistent is always easier to plan for but I will do my best to be as available as possible! My cat is an indoor only cat at the moment. We do have a fenced in courtyard in our apartment that's rather spacious and shady as well!
“Jackie was kind, and my cats took to her almost immediately. One of my cats is shy, and I was surprised by how quickly she could help her come out of her shell. Jackie kept the place clean, and her daily updates with photos helped us rest easy knowing that our babies were in good hands. I will definitely book her again on our next trip!”

“Marina was great, loved the Rover cards and all the info on her visits, and she did a wonderful job and was very patient with my challenging cat. Definitely highly recommend!”

About: I live in east Sacramento. I absolutely adore dogs of all shapes and sizes: from big slobbery booboos and small lap dogs. I can promise you fantastic care, including lots of dog selfies or doggy facetime if you wish. I have experience and can provide references, of course! Very much looking forward to meeting you and my new 4 legged friend! The house has a big fenced backyard. I have experience with dogs with medical conditions, and am accused to giving medication (had an epileptic St. Bernard for many years). I liked to jog and hike with my dog, so if your dog needs lots of exercise- this is the perfect home for you! Thank you for considering me. I work from home, I can give uninterrupted time and attention. There are no other pets in this home. I get up very early (4am) and am typically asleep by 9. I could send you photos every hour, your fur baby is safe with me. There aren’t any hazards aside from stairs and a few plants in my home. There are no other pets.
“This was our first experience with Rover and Melinda did an amazing job! My dog Charlie is reactive and nervous around new people but warmed up to Melinda quickly during our meet and greet. Melinda played with Charlie and provided pictures and detailed feedback on the drop-in visit. I’m so grateful to have found this service and Melinda in particular!”

“Jazmin was so amazing!!! Truly incredible person with so much care for my sweet girl! Took her time coming to meet her beforehand and even fed a churu. I felt immediately comfortable with leaving the keys with her knowing she would be taking great care of her! No hesitation to book you again Jazmin and recommend you to everyone. Thank you!!”

Medical Center pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natalie was amazing!! She took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away on vacation for a week. She is friendly, punctual and did an awesome job. We will definitely book with her again next time we’re away from home; our cats felt safe and comfortable in her care.

Dustin is fantastic with my special-needs dog. He communicates clearly, is incredibly reliable, and consistently goes above and beyond. During our last trip, he even made an extra visit to let our dog out once the rain stopped- completely unprompted. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our pup is in such thoughtful, capable hands while we’re away.

This is the second time Kat has looked after our kitties while on vacation and I cannot begin to describe how amazing she is. She has such a way with animals that our cats took to her instantly and they were so well cared for while we were gone (which eased so much of our anxiety!). She sent honest, thorough, and meaningful updates and really gave such diligent care to our kiddos. She’s the best!
RJ goes out of his way to make my little senior dog feel cared for and loved. She loves to walk and sniff everything and he allows her to do so. My dog is both blind and deaf so I’m very picky with who I have watch her, but I always feel at ease when I know RJ is watching her. He updates me with photos and messages which is greatly appreciated!
