“We had a fantastic experience with Kasey and Elizabeth! From the moment we connected, they were professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with animals. They took excellent care of Sunday, Ditty, and Peach, following all instructions carefully and even going above and beyond with extra playtime, updates, and photos while we were away. Our pets looked happy and well-cared for when we returned, and our home was just as we left it. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”
“I had to take a last minute trip for about a week and luckily Michelle’s schedule was flexible enough to watch my little guy. My dog is super high energy and she was very thorough in exercising him whenever she visited! It was my first time leaving him for that long, but having Michelle watch him eased my worries completely. I know he had a great time playing with her every day! Highly recommend!”
“Rebooking Markita was an easy decision. Though it’s always hard to leave our boys behind while we’re away, we always feel comfortable knowing she’s caring for them! Thanks as always, Markita ☺️ 5 meows (stars) from Charlie, Freddie 🐈⬛🐈”
“Payton was so wonderful and accommodating. She was great with our little guy. Her communication was excellent and she definitely dealt with my OCD with tact and grace. Would highly recommend!”
“Natalie was incredibly kind and accommodating to our two cats and their unique personalities. I would absolutely love to continue working with her in the future!”
About: I have worked with cats and dogs of all ages & sizes for the past 3 years with my previous employer, McCulloch Pet Sitting located in Las Vegas, NV. I recently have moved to Sacramento and am looking to continue pet sitting. I am Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid certified through American Red Cross. I currently am available for drop in visits and walks as of right now. Availability for overnight stays may open up in the near future. I am comfortable with pets of all kinds and will gladly perform proper feeding, walking and playing routines to ensure that they are well taken care of in the times requested.
About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I fostered puppies and adult dogs for four years, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I also grew up with working dogs, so I am very comfortable handling high-energy breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they require. Whether it's a playful puppy, an active working dog, or a senior pet needing extra patience and care, I adapt to each animal's individual needs. I am confident handling dogs on walks and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs as well :) I am a full time student looking to fill my summer by taking care pets instead of adopting more! I have extremely open availability, whatever your pet needs Ill be there. I wholeheartedly understand the anxiety and stress that can come with leaving your pet in someone else's care, I have those same feelings when it comes to my own pets. Because of that, I will treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness, along with your peace of mind, are always my top priorities. While I am caring for your pet, I will be readily available by text or phone and happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. 🐾
“Danielle once again takes fantastic care of our kitties. She does a great job of taking care of them and is wonderfully observant of their behavior while she is here.”
“Mindi was wonderful with Odin! She stopped by for a drop-in visit, gave him a nice walk, and made sure he was well cared for. I could tell he was happy and comfortable after their time together. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I’ve loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent time around my aunt’s Golden Retriever and was always excited to meet and spend time with animals. In high school, I had my own Chihuahua named Aurora, which gave me experience with daily feeding, care, and companionship. I also fostered a Pit Bull from a local animal shelter during a time when the shelter was overcrowded and needed temporary foster homes. While living in Hawaii, I helped care for my cousin’s Chihuahua, Brownie, as part of my everyday routine. I fed her, cleaned up after her, spent time with her, and took her on walks, beach outings, and car rides. More recently, I’ve spent time caring for a senior rescue Pit Bull, Tyson, who has experienced neglect and multiple owners. My experiences have taught me that every dog deserves patience, kindness, and understanding. I enjoy helping pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. I currently have an open schedule for the summer and am available throughout June, July, and most of August. This flexibility allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether your dog needs walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I can provide reliable care that fits your pet’s routine. I also understand that pet care needs can vary, so I do my best to accommodate scheduling requests whenever possible. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve been around dogs of different breeds and personalities, including Chihuahuas, Pit Bulls, and Huskies. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated throughout their stay.
“Erika did a fantastic job and truly went above and beyond. From her detailed check in reports, to her bringing in packages without being asked - I’m floored at the level of care that she provides. Absolutely contact her if you need pet care - you will not regret it!!”
About: Ever since I was 10 I've taken care of dogs. I have experience in many different ages of dogs from newborn puppies to full grown. Since it is summer your pets will always fit in my schedule! Saturday and Sunday will be the only days I can't fit your pets in. I will always be willing to feed, clean, play and walk with your pets if they need it. I can stay overnight too as well.
“had a great experience working with Shang over a two week period. She walked and fed my dogs with so much care and reliability. I even had an “oops” moment where I mistakenly thought a day was booked when it wasn’t, and she was incredibly gracious and understanding when I reached out. Once we sorted out my mistake, she confirmed the remaining days and everything went smoothly. I truly appreciate her professionalism, kindness, and flexibility. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”
“Jenna was great with our two cats while we were out of town for the week! She made sure they had wet and dry food, water and clean litter boxes each day. Great communication and sent us pictures each day”
“Patricia was amazing! I can’t want to rebook with her. She has such a great personality and did so well with our two dogs. Thank you for everything, Patricia!! ??”

Jazmine is such a life saver! We’re out of town for a weekend and I noticed on our pet cam that one of our auto feeders wasn’t running so I was panicking about our cats not having enough food. Jazmine accommodated a last minute same day booking request responding early in the morning and heading over to our place on a short notice. She went above and beyond what I even requested because I really just needed to make sure the cats had food, but she cleaned out their entire water fountain (which is a lot of work!), scooped all their litter and left the place super clean, and also spent time playing with them. We have a new cat that is in isolation right now and I provided very sparse direction but Jazmine knew exactly what to do with almost no direction, bringing her up another portion of wet food, changing out her water bowl for fresh water, and scooping her litter even though I didn’t even get a chance to tell Jazmine where we had placed the litterbox. I know whenever Jazmine is over our kitties and house are in good hands, and it’s a huge weight off my shoulders having a super reliable, professional, and responsible cat sitter who takes amazing care of my cats! Thanks a bunch Jazmine!
Markita was very good with our dog and appreciated the extra attention she gave to dog while we were away. This was our first time having someone drop in in our home and I was very comfortable with her. She is very professional and communicated with us throughout the visit. I would definitely book her again.
Payton did a great job watching our dog and two kittens. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands while we were away. Everyone was happy and well cared for when we got home. We’d definitely recommend Payton and would be happy to book with her again! 🤗
Natalie did a great job. She was thorough and efficient. Her care for my cat showed her love for animals and especially my kitty cat. She was very responsive to any real time questions I had while I was gone. On top of caring so well for my cat she gathered my mail, watered plants, put out the trash cans and change lighting in the house every day. Will definitely hire her again.
Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.
From the very first visit, I knew my four cats were in the best hands. Anita has this incredible way of putting you at ease; she jumped right in, effortlessly managing their individual diets and medications. It was amazing to see my usually shy cats instantly warm up to her! The daily updates and photos were the highlight of my day, and her communication is top-notch. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely dedicated to providing such loving care. Anita is officially my go-to sitter!
This is the second time Kat has looked after our kitties while on vacation and I cannot begin to describe how amazing she is. She has such a way with animals that our cats took to her instantly and they were so well cared for while we were gone (which eased so much of our anxiety!). She sent honest, thorough, and meaningful updates and really gave such diligent care to our kiddos. She’s the best!
Avery is an incredible dog sitter! She watched my dog Ace for a week and this was probably the best dog sitting experience I have had on Rover. She was very communicative and got along so well with Ace and provided such great pictures. I will definitely book her again!
