“Grisel was wonderful. Was available even though the booking was last minute. Constantly gave updates and images of my dog so I knew what was going on with her while away. My dog seemed to be very happy and comfortable while there. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to after your fur baby.”


“Thank you Debra! My dog Cleo had the best time running around her yard and playing with the other pups. I got updates through our the day and photos. It was so nice knowing my baby was in good hands! 10/10 would rebook and recommend😊”


“Monica was so great with Otis. She is so welcoming, warm, and dedicated to ensuring he had a great experience. She was so mindful of his dietary and medical needs and provided frequent updates to ensure we knew Otis was having such a great time. Lastly, Monica was flexible when a last minute snafu with scheduling and ensured we were able to get care when we needed. Thank you Monica! Excited to have Otis stay with you again”

“Matt took fantastic care of our 7-year old Blue Heeler, Oz. He provided Oz with exercise multiple times a day, including walks and park sessions. He checked in regularly and his constant communication helped us feel at ease, knowing our pup was in great hands. We’ll definitely work with Matt again!”


“Veronika was so great with my dog Nitro! She took him on a walk and to a market and fully included him in her day while she dog sat for me. Great communication and super friendly! Thank you Veronika!”


“Davis was great with Lulu! He was super attentive to her needs and sent lots of updates on her stay. I especially appreciated that he gave real updates & photos. Lulu got plenty of walks and exercise. I will definitely rebook!”


“It’s always a treat for our dog to stay with Jared and Andy! I just know that they love our little guy as much as we do, which is such a reassurance when you’re far away. I’ve booked them many times and will in the future for as long as they’ll have us!!”


“I can’t recommend Kazue enough! She takes only one dog (or one family) at a time, which is a huge plus for a dog like Butter who doesn’t do well around other pets/dogs. Kazue updated me with photos and videos at least 3 times a day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely have her board Butter again. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, Kazue is the one!”


“Reginay was awesome! Our original rover cancelled last minute and Reginay was able to board nala during our 11 day cruise. She was extremely responsive and caring and was understanding when we arrived late. We will definitely be working with her again.”


“I reserved time for my pup to spend the day with Achara and her dogs based on her reviews. She sent a couple photos to update me on his day. I picked him up and he was worn out! Archara is very responsive and responds quickly to messages. I would use her again.”


About: I’ve been a pet parent my entire adult life and truly believe that they make life sweeter! I work from home with a flexible schedule so I’m always available to love on, play with, feed, and potty break as your pup(s) needs/wants. I have experience caring for elder pets and pets who require medical attention, including medication administration. I have one dog of my own, a midsize Labradoodle, who is incredibly loving and playful. He’ll be sure to be your pups BFF in no time! Pet care comes first in my life! I’m usually home during the day and, when I’m not, my pup either comes with me or is quite comfy inside the house. I have a fenced yard with grass, a great setup for puppy play. Your pup is welcomed into my home as if it were their own, with opportunity to get comfy on furniture or pet beds, play with all the toys, eat on schedule, and have regular access to water. Mixed time is enjoyed inside the house and in the backyard, as weather permits. Regular potty breaks are available, as often as needed. Food is provided as scheduled and water is available regularly. Toys are aplenty and my pup and I are always happy to play or just be good company in mellow moments. My dog is not crated at any time, but I'm happy to crate yours if needed.

“Our dog Max had a great stay with Danielle for 2 nights; he was reluctant leave when we picked him up which is a great sign. She was quite responsive when we needed to amend our pickup time and we really appreciated how she contacted us for some guidance when she was unsure of what Max was needing to settle him down near bedtime on the first night. Highly recommend Danielle”


“I went to Italy for my birthday and Lety was nice enough to accommodate Duke. Duke stayed with Lety, but this time for over a week and he was so happy to be back at her place! Lety is the best!!! And I will definitely be rebooking again! You won’t be disappointed! Lety made her place feel like home for Duke. Duke also enjoys her puppy Mason, they do so well together! Book with Lety! I promise you won’t be disappointed.”


“Persia was very flexible and kept in contact with me every day to let me know how Lancelot was doing. I’m a nurse who does overnight 12 hour shifts, and just recently got a dog with separation anxiety. Persia had me come over to make sure I was comfortable with her place prior to him spending the night, and she was very flexible when I asked to possibly pick Lancelot up early when I thought I was cancelled for the night. I will definitely be using Persia again. Thanks for taking good care of my sweet boy!”

“Always a pleasure leaking Sokka with Alexandra. He has a fun time and she’s very knowledgeable and attentive to his needs. Plus he gets to play a lot, which is never a bad thing.”



“Michael is an amazing sitter! He is very attentive to my energetic husky. They have lots of play time and go on walks throughout the day. I especially like that Michael sends me a lot of pictures throughout the stay. It helps put me at ease that my pup is well taken care of and comfortable in Michael’s home.”


About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have raised puppies to mature adults and eventually seniors. I am very good at using positive reinforcement with them. I’m a little bit knew to cats but I am learning quickly. I care about every animal deeply. I have a full time schedule 8-5 Monday through Friday, but I am happy to walk dogs or do drop into feed and care for your loved ones after that. I am also free most weekends for watching your loved ones as well. I am very respectful about my surroundings. Your loved ones needs are my first priority when I’m with them, and will respect any special requests you have for your loved ones.

“Danielle was superb! Our beloved almost 12 year old German Shepherd who never leaves our side was in her caring hands for an unprecedented 10 days while we attended our son’s college graduation. Danielle soothed us with pictures and stories and even doctored his skin rash. Like most shepherds, he mourns”


“Stop your searching here! Rebecca is a one and a million. I’m not living in Sacramento- but I wish I was so that she could consistently care for my sweet fur baby! She treated my girl like one of her own, allowing her on the couch, bed, by her feet as she works from home, multiple walks a day, a hike, and exploring local parks. She sent SO many pictures everyday and kept me updated on my pups’s adventures. She is kind, compassionate, caring, and I simply cannot recommend her enough. I’m considering driving an extra two hours for an upcoming trip so that Rebecca can watch her again! Also- her home is perfect for your pet. She has a fenced in back yard with beautiful rose bushes, grass, and her neighborhood is safe & welcoming!”


“Julie was super awesome with taking care of our dog! She updated me on a daily basis with how he was doing and what they've been up too. I appreciated her understanding when our dog ate her couch throw pillow. She was our first sitter so we had no idea how he would behave. 10/10 would rebook again. Thanks Julie!”

11. Jessica D.
“If you're looking for someone to care for your dog as if they were her own, look no further than Jess. She is, hands down, the absolute best with my pup—patient, loving, attentive, and always going the extra mile to make sure he's happy and well cared for. My pup lights up every time he sees her, and one of the biggest bonuses is that he gets to play with her dog Griffy, who is the sweetest love bug you'll ever meet. Griffy has such a gentle, playful nature, and even though my dog is about half the size of Griffy, they play so well together and my pup never feels threatened. Whether it’s a day visit, an overnight stay, or just playtime in the yard, I know my dog is safe, loved, and having a blast. Jess and Griffy are the best, and their bond is the kind that makes you feel completely at ease leaving your dog. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

17. Darrick E.
“I had the pleasure of having Darrick take care of my beloved fur babies, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment I met Darrick, I could tell he had a genuine love for animals. During his time as my pet sitter, he was incredibly reliable and responsible. He followed our feeding schedule to a tee, ensuring my pets were always healthy and happy. Darrick also went the extra mile to provide companionship and playtime, which my pets absolutely adored. I highly recommend Darrick and Rover to anyone in need of a pet sitter. He’s not just a caregiver; he become a trusted friend to my furry babies. I’m lucky to have match him and introduced to using Rover, and will continue to rely on their exceptional services in the future. Thank you, Darrick for being such a fantastic caregiver to my fur babes!”
