“Nicole is great! I have not been a dog Mom since I was seven. My doggy is a new Rescue to me. That being said, he's very excitable as well as not potty trained yet . Nicole was very patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. I had a previous boarding experience that did not go so well because the dogs in the home barked at mine the entire time he was there (days). With that information, Nicole introduced her dogs to mine one at a time. My dog spent several hours at her home and got along so well with her fur babies. It was like a great play date! I am happy to have her as a resource should I need to board my pup.”
“Nicole was and is very accommodating and genuinely comes off as an animal lover which was very wonderful to find. It’s not easy leaving your fur babies with strangers but she went out of her way to make mine feel welcome and make sure that she didn’t overwhelm him. I fully plan on using her services again and would wholeheartedly recommend her if any of you are interested in a good dog sitter.”
About: I offer personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. With experience in training puppies and caring for senior pets, I ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for every furry friend. Your pet will receive the attention and care they deserve in a safe, loving environment I'm working part time from home and will be more than happy to spend time with your pet while you're away! My schedule is flexible and I am available for dog walking, pet sitting, or even just dropping in for some playtime and cuddles. I have fenced yard in apartments also have park in 2 min walk from my home, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Additionally, I have experience with both small and large dogs, including breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and more.
About: I have had and loved animals since I was a kid, and even more so as a responsible adult. We have a loud, rambunctious 3 year old hound/border collie mix in our home who loves other dogs and loves to play. (Hounds tend to be the most mouthy breed, and Cooper doesnt disappoint). Hes quite submissive, so he pairs well with most pups. We frequent the dog park, so we have many puppy friend. Consistency is so important for the behavior and health of your dog, so I will happily accommodate your pooches needs to their benefit. I've learned with the way our guests tend to happily (and safely) play with Cooper, that while in my care sometimes there isn't enough energy left for our routine walks. If walks are part of a training regime, please let me know so I can ensure the walks still take place. I do require a meet and greet prior to every booking. This ensures there is a good fit in personalities of pups and myself as your pup's caregiver. I apologize, but because I work from home, I cannot take in habitual barkers, or dogs who are not crate trained. If you have read this far and you use Instagram, please find me watchmywags.sacramento. I work from home, and have a flexible schedule, so no worries about separation anxiety, and rest assured your furry friend will stay plenty active freely roaming our home and property. I also have 3 lovely children who enjoy the company of animals. I'm happy to help out with evening walks. Let me know if there's a specific route you're using for training purposes. I will follow your lead. If theyre coming to my home to play, I have a large fenced yard with room to run. A designated crate area for sleep. I accompany doggos while they run about outside whether for pee, poop or play. I work from home, so your pup is welcome to hang with me and Coop while I work. Cooper is happy to keep your guy entertained under my supervision. Constant video monitoring in community areas as well, so safety is utmost importance. If we are visiting your home, please leave clear written instructions. I will respect your wishes as your pet companion.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember because of the unconditional love, joy, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’ve also had cats, and to me, they’re all family—not just pets. ❤️🐾 Now that my children are grown and I no longer have pets of my own, caring for other people’s beloved fur babies has become something I truly enjoy. I give each dog my full attention, patience, affection, and TLC. Whether they’re young, senior, shy, recovering, or a cherished show dog, I care for each one according to their individual needs and personality. I also administer pills if needed as well. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved—just like they’re at home. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your fur baby is being cared for as one of my own. I’m a mature, honest, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter.

I provide services to the following areas: Roseville, Fair Oaks, Folsom, and El Dorado Hills. I’m happy to provide excellent references from pet parents who have trusted me with their beloved companions. I do take care of small dogs (1:1 only!) at my house too if you like drop-in services. Please message me. I’m retired so i have a lot of time for dogs/cats sitting…:). I’m available 7 days/week. This is the thing that I enjoy doing most. This also allows me to get my pet fix…lol..:). I really enjoy taking care of pets (dogs or cats) as though they’re my own whether at my house ( I live in a condo and we have grassy areas throughout the complex) or at your house. My goal is have them feel like I’m just another family member. I feed, play, and walk with them. I also check mail, bring packages in, and water the plants at your home.
“Diane was absolutely amazing! She has so much love to give to all the dogs in her care and treats every dog as if they were her own. I enjoy getting all the updates during the day and I never have to worry while I'm at work. Happy to have found our new sitter when we are away ?”
“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”
“We are so happy we found Alexis! She takes great care of our sweet, energetic, pittie Bearri. Alexis is not just a sitter. She is a great addition to Bearri's life , and gives plenty of updates to make sure we don't miss any of our puppy's first moments. We have used her services several times and definitely recommend her to anyone. If you want your dog to get the full package of comfort, love, attention, exercise, and training, book Alexis!”
“Pup came back happy and tired - perfect! Love that Tammy’s pups made Skye feel right at home. Tammy seemed to treat Skye like one of her own. Definitely appreciated that Tammy invited to come inside to see her home and meet her pups. I didn’t see any pictures during the day, but it sounds like everyone was too busy playing to take pics - and that’s great, too! Love that my puppy gets some socialization with other pups, and came home happy. Would def have Skye stay there again.”
About: I've had pet dogs my entire life, but as an adult I've personally adopted 2 dogs and a cat of my own. I have cared for pets at every stage of their life. I'm a freelance digital artist so my availability is open. I don't do artwork outside of my home, however. If I'm working for you that has my full attention. In my home I have a pool. My pug can swim but I'm still always outside when she is. Im very attentive when I take on responsibilities. My house is spacious and we are open to crating. Our pets sleep inside with us.
“Andrea was such a lifesaver! Scheduling was easy and she was flexible with drop-off/pick-up. The moment we met, I felt confident our pup was going to be loved and cared for by Andrea and her family. She sent pictures and updates, and even let our fur baby sleep on her bed. So happy and thankful for our experience.”
“They were great! We needed a sitter for the day so we could go to a graduation since we aren’t local to the area, and it was nice to feel comfortable leaving them. They both seemed to enjoy their stay and she was very understanding of any needs. Thanks!”
About: I have had dogs all my life growing up. Honestly - there has never been a year in my life where I have not owned a dog. I have experience with small dogs to large dogs. I have volunteered for several shelters when I was younger. I have cared for senior dogs and dogs who have cancer. My dogs are spoiled and honestly, they are not pets but family. I love my dogs unconditionally the way they love me. I currently work from home all week. I am free to play, run around, and walk my furry family throughout the day. I am usually home during the day, in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced yard. The yard is large and has grass and play toys. I have two furry family dogs to keep your pet company as well.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Highlands
Julane was awesome throughout the whole process. Her family, including the dog Mary, was also super sweet and I immediately felt welcomed during our meet and greet, perfect for my dogs. So grateful they were available during the holiday. I will definitely book Julane again in the future.
Destiny was lovely! We needed a last-minute daycare (and I mean truly last-minute -- within hours of reaching out) and she was incredibly flexible and eager to fill the need. She reached out with updates at just the right frequency, sent amazing photos, and made sure to follow all of our guidance on Chancho's needs. She is very experienced when it comes to dogs with various needs, including our severe separation anxiety boy, and despite some truly traumatic experiences on Rover, I trusted her immediately. It was obvious Chancho was going to get the same level of care that we provide at home, and I couldn't have asked for more!!!

Nick has done a great job dog-sitting my senior labrador retriever. He goes the extra mile by sending me pictures and updates throughout the day, and taking her on a walk around the neighborhood. Thank you for taking such good care of Dakota. Would definitely recommend Nick to others.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your North Highlands commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
