Britt did such an incredible job with our cat. It was evident our cat was in good hands by looking at photos and videos of the two playing and cuddling together. She went above and beyond in keeping our house clean and communicating. We will definitely be booking her again!

Matias filled in last-minute after our original sitter had an emergency. Matias was great with the dogs and the house. He was responsive every time we checked in and kept us updated on everything that came up while we were gone. One of our dogs is/was a puppy (10 months) at the time of the sit and Matias was very good natured about her puppy behavior. The dogs seemed to like him. He did a great job with walks and getting them out for play time in our yard. The dogs were on a special diet at the time of the sit and Matias had to play home chef to the dogs. He did great. We came home to a clean house and happy, healthy dogs. We’d definitely recommend Matias.

Jillian is very friendly, cooperative and communicative. She kept me informed throughout the day to reassure me that my dogs were fine. Because she did this, I could relax knowing my dogs were in good, caring hands for 8 days. She cleaned my house and took extra care to make sure she followed instructions properly.

Simone had great communication and was amazingly flexible with our timing needs - during a holiday weekend on top of that! Having peace of mind while away was much appreciated. She was respectful and easy going. Would definitely have her back to watch my mischievous pittie anytime!

About: I took impeccable care of my English Mastiff for over 10 years. More recently I have found joy in pet sitting for other people's dogs and cats in their homes. I work remotely and have a lot of scheduling flexibility, especially on weekdays. I'm available to stay in your home with your pet during weekdays. My other work (accounting/finance & admin) is done remotely anywhere I have reliable WiFi. My availability on weekends is very limited. I provide a calm, steady energy and will stay with your pet(s) in your home so they can remain in a familiar environment. I love taking dogs on walks.

I can definitely say that after being gone for eight days I was very appreciative for what I came back to. I've had my challenges with the dogs so for someone to come in a take over for a week seemed a little daunting however Yolanda came through with 5 stars... I have no doubt the dogs were well taken care of as all instructions left were meticulously followed and the dogs were definitely well cared for not to mention the house was cleaner then I left it. There's nothing better then coming back from a vacation with well taken care of dogs. Would definitely recommend for worry free dog sitting

About: I grew up with dogs and helped raise two labs (a chocolate and a yellow) with my family. I also have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and others in my community, caring for pets in their homes and making sure they follow their normal routines. In addition, I volunteered with a nonprofit rescue organization called Rescue For Pet Sake in Grass Valley, where I helped care for and socialize dogs. Through these experiences, I’ve become very comfortable with different pet personalities and love making sure animals feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and always aim to keep things clean, follow instructions carefully, and make sure both pets and owners feel comfortable. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to care for your pets. I love spending time playing, going on walks, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow all routines and care instructions carefully and can send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.

Jordan was absolutely awesome!! I had to take a week long trip to visit my in laws for the holiday season and it always makes me nervous finding a good sitter for Archie, my 13 year old senior dog. Jordan was nothing short of phenomenal! I work from home and Archie is used to me being home a lot so Jordan shifted his schedule around to make sure that he was able to stay at my home as much as possible. He was super communicative throughout his entire stay, constantly kept me in the loop of things, and gave me lots of updates. Another thing I really appreciated was how punctual he was! I have had other sitters who took care of Archie and did just fine, but I really feel like Jordan went above and beyond. I told Jordan about cougars in the area and Jordan was extra careful to make sure that Archie was safe and secure in the home. The entire trip I had zero concern knowing that Archie was so well taken care of. Jordan cares about animals and it shows, and he also cares about his clients. I came home to a house that seemed even cleaner than before I left! Jordan is super kind, reliable, and trustworthy. He is the kind of sitter you want - especially if you have to take a trip for an extended period of time. I will 100% book with him again and recommend his services.

About: I grew up with animals- dogs, cats, fish and even a bird! I have experience with small, medium and large dogs, and extra specialty with working breeds like Australian Shepherds. I have done puppy and senior care, and am confident with 2 or more animals at a time. At the moment I have open availability! Excited to take your pups on walks during the day, or hang out together at night. I am interested in house stays as well as daily walks, with some options to board at my home. I love to go on trail walks around town, including your animal in all my daily little tasks, and talking to them like they understand me (and they do). I am a big fan of play and will definitely be throwing toys around for them to chase, or taking to a dog park to get their wiggles out. My animals are my family and I will treat your loved ones just the same!

When my husband said on Christmas day: “let’s go on a nine day vacation in four days,” my initial reaction was “YAY!” Then my “YAY” quickly turned into an “Oh NO! What about Belle!?!?” That’s when I turned to Rover.com. I found Virginia here, fully background checked, and I sent her a quick message. Her response time was super fast, and she was willing to come over to meet us right away. We met, and as her profile describes, she’s incredibly nice! She took great care of Belle while we were away and was very respectful of our home. She also sent updates and pics on a regular basis. I think Virginia took better care of Belle than I do! I plan on hiring Virginia when we go out of town in the future! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any dog mommy or daddy!

About: I got my first dog when I was six, and growing up he was my best friend. I also had lizards, birds, fish, frogs, hamsters, and cats! Ever since then, I have always been passionate about helping dogs and other animals. I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all sizes and ages, and now I want to make this passion my work. My favorite part about taking care of dogs is walking them. I have a Border Collie and know how to handle hyper and active dogs. I have experience taking care of disabled pets as well- I had a small dog that used a wheel chair for years and lived a happy life. All of my friends and family call me first when in need of a pet sitter because they know I'm capable and that I truly care. Whether you need walking, bathing, feeding, or someone to assist with your special needs pet, I have done it all and would love to help! I am available to walk your dog and take care of your pets any day of the week. So send me a message and I will respond quickly! First, I ask pet owners if there are any requirements or concerns to be aware of when I am entering their home to care for their pet. In addition, I always like to know what treats or activities their pets enjoy. For example, during an appointment, I will often greet pets with their favorite treat, check if they need water, take care of any potty or medical needs, and stimulate them with their favorite activity! Before leaving, I make sure I have performed all required tasks requested by the client.

Excellent cat sitter! She has her own kitty so she knows what the kitties like. They were happy and not at all stressed out when I came home. Raina left me home looking cleaner than I left it. The kitties definitely would love her to come back and play with them.

Matias is an excellent communicator. I felt so confident and safe leaving my two kitties in his care. I got regular updates and photos and his response time to inquires about my babies was usually immediate but always under 10 mins. I even feel like my house was cleaner than how I left it. Would 100% have Matias stay in my home again.

Cydney was amazing! Right away on coming in the dog settled right in to being comfortable with her and calming down from there somebody’s at the door alert. She was both attentive to the request and instruction we left and also shared her knowledge about Dogs as well, understanding even different tendencies of different breeds… Which is really helpful since we had one 80 pound rescue who’s ancestors are guard dogs and 8 pound little dog as well. She really gave all of her attention during the weekend to the dogs and their needs. I’m looking forward to having her come again.
