“Tracy was amazing and helped us out when we needed someone to let the dogs out very last minute. Tracy was able to send me a picture with both puppies looking at the camera at the same time. This is just short of a miracle :) so I know he is good with pups.”

“Jennifer was amazing for our two dogs! Lots of pictures and play and they seemed to love her a lot. Very trustworthy and professional! Couldn’t recommend enough.”


About: I have a lot of experience with animals, including previous house-sitting experience and working at zoos. I love being able to spend time with pets and give them love and care while their families are busy or out of town! I currently have full availability and can fully adapt to your schedule. I can do at home care, including overnights, drop in visits, or walks whenever needed! I live in a single-bedroom apartment, so I would only feel comfortable providing care in my home for cats. I have lots of experience working with animals both professionally and for friends and family. I love being able to care for pets at their comfort level with new people and find so much joy in being able to fit into your pets lives!
About: I have owned dogs all my life. I am attentive and caring. I wanted to be a veterinarian before entering corporate America! Spending time with your pet is my dopamine! I work full time office job and would love to fill some free time loving your pet while you’re away! I will be attentive to your pets preferences and schedule. I have no pets if my own so their needs are my top priority! I live in a quiet and safe neighborhood that is perfect for your pet to spend time in!
“Highly recommend! Upon reading the report card from Tonie, a comment was made from another dog owner, "Wow, you got a good rover." I was so nervous leaving my dogs, especially my ailing senior. When my normal dogsitter cancelled last minute, I was very hesitant having a stranger watch my dogs. Tonie did a great job. I actually prefer her over my other sitters.”

“I loved that Heather came to meet Farah and I. I could tell right away she was caring and very patient. Our cat sitter couldn't come to check in on Farah while we were on vacation due to unexpected health decline. Heather was willing to with very little notice. We were gone for 13 days and had Heather do a drop in for 11 days. Farah requires eye cleaning just about every day and is super picky about how clean her litter box is. She also hates getting her eyes cleaned and Heather did such a great job with her eye care. She made sure she had clean water each day too. Heather did the best job!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl!!”

“Wes has done a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my goldendoodle. She's still in her puppy phase, and he makes time for walks and playing in the backyard. He has always been on-time and communicates well after each visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care!”

“Edmy was fantastic! My two kitties were cared for so well! Their bowls and litter were cleaned with each visit. Edmy found some ants around the food bowls and was kind enough to move the food. I cannot say enough nice things about them and can’t wait to have them back. I highly recommend them! I got lots of pictures and felt confident in being away.”

“Natalie is 5 Stars amazing! We came home to 3 tiny pups who were wore out from the fun and love Natalie brings with her. I felt she listened to what I had to say to make me feel better even though this chick knows her stuff!!! Our dogs loved her and I think disappointed when they saw it was us coming home and not her!!”

“Samantha is such a great cat sitter, Tako is so lucky! Her updates are great, and communication and visits are top notch. We would definitely work with her again.”

“I can not say enough good things about Angie and how much she has aided in mine and my dogs life! Very willing to work with my crazy schedule and seeing my pup multiple times a day multiple days a week. She has cleaned up my dogs vomit and diarrhea, she fought off a Rottweiler to protect my dog which was so above and beyond her call of duty lol. Although I only saw Angie face to face a few times, she had such a positive impact on my life and brought me so much joy with all of the wonderful pictures she sent me of my goofy girl while I was at work. Her and her pup Wrigley hold a special place in our heart ?”

About: I have a dog of my own and understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your pet. I’ve always had many of pets throughout my life and would love to add your pet to my extended family. I am looking forward to showing your pet the love and attention that all humans and pets need. I live an active lifestyle so I am always out and about taking my dog on a walk. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or night I will be walking with my pupper and would love for your pet to come along for the ride. I am a frequent attendee at the dog parks and as long as your dog is vaccinated I’m sure they would have a grand time there as well. I can feed, walk, run, and even pick up your dogs poop. I understand the responsibility that comes with pet care as I have a dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was a wee pup. I am able to work with pets of all sizes as many of my friends and family have had me watch their pets while they were away.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats for friends and family over the years. Along with my own two girls, a senior dog and a senior cat. I have a huge heart for animals and love them so much!! Would love to meet your furry friend Currently working part time during the week days. Would be able to check in / walk your buddy for you before work (9am) , on break around (12pm), or after work (4pm). Weekends fluctuate but will be available either in the morning or evening I treat every pet I meet like they’re my own. I will bring comfort and relief to your buddy whenever you need! I love spending time outside; throwing a ball, going on a run.

About: I’ve had pets all my life. From lizards, to birds, cats and dogs, you name it. For the last 3 years I have been pet sitting for friends, neighbors, coworkers, and friends of friends as an in house sitter. I am currently working full time, however, my work life is very flexible with flexible hours. I can do middle of the day check ins if that is what you would prefer with no problem. I do spend a lot of time with the pets late afternoons to late evenings if I am not staying in the residence. When caring for pets in your home, I encourage a very detailed day to day that your pet has so I do not break from that routine for them as much as possible. It’s my hope for you and your pet to feel as safe and comfortable as possible. No needs or routine is too inconsiderate for me.
About: I grew up in a household full of dogs and cats and a turtle! This lifelong exposure taught me that every pet has a unique personality and specific needs. For the past few years, I’ve specialized in in-home pet sitting, offering both daytime visits and overnight stays to ensure your pets feel secure in their own environment. I am particularly experienced with high-energy and reactive pups. My own 'wild' puppy has taught me patience and various positive reinforcement training techniques, so I’m well-equipped to handle strong pullers or dogs who get a bit nervous on walks. Whether it's a calm senior cat or a zoomie-prone puppy, I know how to keep them engaged and safe. As a college student, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have the ability to step away for midday walks or check-ins, ensuring your pet is never alone for too long. During the summer months, I am out of school and only work a part-time job one day a week. This means I have nearly 24/7 wide-open availability for housesitting, extended stays, and frequent drop-ins to keep your furry (or shelled) friends company! I understand that your home is your sanctuary. I pride myself on being extremely cleanly and respectful of your space. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it (if not a little tidier!). Beyond the house, your pet's safety is my #1 priority. I am hyper-vigilant during walks and always adhere to your specific household rules regarding furniture, feeding, and routine. I treat every 'pet child' with the same love, attention, and protection I give my own, so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ dogs since I was a kid. I have worked with anxious older dogs, puppies and high energy breeds. I am also comfortable giving medication. I’m a runner who loves the outdoors so a walk or run with your dogs sounds like a great summer day. I’m currently working part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pets! I’m a runner and love everything outside so a walk or run with your dog sounds like a great way to spend my afternoons! I don’t have any other pets at home. I don’t have a fenced in yard but can keep them on a long leash if that is necessary. I only work for a few hours a day so your dog will spend most of it’s time with me.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family friends and neighbors since I was very young. I also have a lot experience with cats, as I own one myself! I graduated with a B.A. in environmental and marine science in 2023 and worked as a zookeeper for two years. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am available during mornings and evenings depending on the day I am not able to care for pets in my home. Both of my cats are quite old and do not do well when around other animals.

About: Hello! I am new here at Rover. I’ve had dogs and cats all throughout my life. When I was a kid, I rehabilitated hurt animals that I found outside or on the road-caring is second nature for me. In 2018 I adopted my dog Beauty, a black mastiff whom I had for almost eight years and sadly, she recently passed away. She is missed by many!!! So I am here trying to get my pet fill. I will always provide great care for your pets. I can’t wait to get started and meet your pets! Monday through Thursday I am available 730pm-midnight. I am available Friday and Saturday 9 am until 330 P.M. Sunday I am mostly unavailable. May have some wiggle room in the late morning. While caring for your pet, I will be sure to always keep an eye on them. I am very attentive and follow your instruction and wishes. I respect you as well as your pets needs.
North Highlands pet parents share their Rover experiences
100% recommend Jennifer. We have a very nervous 50 pound Bernie doodle that likes to bark ferociously at strangers, but Jennifer was able to calm her down even though she was the first person to ever enter our house when we weren’t home and let the dogs out! She made sure they had sufficient time outside and even walk the yard with them. She brought them to their water and food bowls, and encouraged them to eat and drink. Then sat with them on the floor and gave them both individual attention. We are honestly overjoyed with the care that she provided and we will use her again, so should you!
