About: Ive taken care of many different animals since I was about 10 which is 9 years now. I’ve always loved animals of all kinds and have enjoyed taking care and loving on them. I have experience with any age of animals as well as giving medications and other needs. I do currently work but am able to visit your animal plenty times throughout the day to ensure they’re getting the best care possible! Can’t wait to meet you and your animal! I work Monday through Friday as of now but I do get multiple breaks and can come see and love on your animal multiple times throughout the day to ensure the best care and connection that they deserve! Hi! I carefully follow instructions given and am totally willing to change schedules if needed. I’ve worked with animals of all ages so I understand everything from potty training to giving medications and much more!
“Absolutely amazing! Being my first experience I was a little nervous but, immediately felt comfortable when I saw the way my dogs were around her. Pics and updates were great allowing me to feel free to enjoy my trip. 100% would recommend and do this again..”
“This was my first time using Rover and Elyssa met every one of my expectations. She had a very calming energy which my Zoe picked up on right away. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Elyssa!”
About: I have several years of animals experience. I have been dog sitting for 5 years now, starting by watching my friends dogs! I have taken care of all of the responsibilities needed for care. As in bathing, feeding, walking, and cuddling!! I am currently home from school in Arizona for the holidays! I am pretty much always available since I am only here for so long! I am pretty flexible with whatever your pet needs whether that is a crate or letting them roam free! As long as we communicate I will listen!
“Fatima is so reliable and responsive, I never have to worry, even when I'm thousands of miles away. I trust her with everything! And she is amazing with animals-- my super-shy cats normally run from people, but they come out to play with her!! Thanks, Fatima!”
About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since 2016. I am an animal advocate and absolutely love all kinds of babies. I have loved getting to know each pet through my years of doing dog rescue. I took a break for a while as we lost 3 of our dogs, one due to cancer, but I'm back and ready to care for your babies. I primarily work from home and would like to help your family out when you go on vacation or just for a day of fun hanging with my babies. *I do work in the office on Wednesday your furbaby may be crated well im gone* We have plenty of toys and dog beds well. I love to make dogs feel like they’re on vacation. With permission, there are treats to eat, energy to burn, hugs and pats to receive, and many things to explore!
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've cared for my own dogs as well as those belonging to friends, family members, and rescue organizations. I am currently volunteering as a transport driver for NorCal Boxer Rescue and Gettin' Home Transport, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle giants like St. Bernards, I've worked with a wide variety of dogs and understand that each one has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. My goal is always to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while they're in my care. I am retired after 42 years with the federal government. I spend most of my time at home with my retired husband, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Aside from occasional errands, I’m available to ensure your dog(s) receives consistent care and affection. Our home is designed with dogs' comfort in mind. We have a large, grassy, fully fenced backyard and a dog door that allows dogs to come and go freely at their own pace. In addition, I regularly take dogs outside for potty breaks throughout their stay. Dogs are treated like family here and are welcome on the furniture and beds. We provide pet stairs to help them safely access couches and beds, making them feel as comfortable as they would in their own home. Daily walks are offered during the cooler parts of the day, typically in the early morning and again in the late afternoon or evening. Providing a safe, secure, and loving environment is my top priority. Our large, fenced backyard offers plenty of space for exercise, play, and relaxation. We also share our home with two friendly, long-haired, five-year-old Dachshunds who enjoy the company of visiting dogs. We strive to maintain a calm, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can settle in comfortably and enjoy their stay. We provide extra dog beds for guests, and if your dog prefers or requires a crate, you're welcome to bring your own. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddling on the couch, relaxing in the yard, or simply being around caring people, they'll receive personalized attention and plenty of love while you're away.
“Emily was a great sitter! Our cat loved her. She took special care to learn all about him. She took note of how he likes to play, what food he likes, and even the little things that we do for him when we are home. We are looking forward to hiring her again!”
About: I've had dogs in my home since I was 10, ranging from newborns to ten years old, so I do have enough experience in walking, bathing, giving them medicine if they request. Until December 16, I am available from Thursday to Sunday, anytime. Currently, I do walk two dogs every day around noon. I have helped train one of these two dogs to obey commands after they have attended obedience school, and given them antibiotics as prescribed. I have stayed at the owner's home for the weekend while they were on vacation, so I took care of these dogs and carefully followed the owner's instructions. I can't whistle, unfortunately so if your dog listens to whistles, that dog may not be the one for me. I’m currently free for the summer! I go on runs twice a week, I love getting my steps in and I enjoy spending time with furry friends! I currently live in a cozy cottage in a gated apartment complex with my boyfriend. It also has an area for dogs, both big and small

I have a fenced big yard for pups to have fun. I am also willing to have pups in doors as well. My house is very open and comforting.

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.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
