“I'm so grateful for Natalie caring for Winston. She was so wonderful with sharing pictures and providing daily updates. I so appreciated not worrying about my boy. He felt super loved too. I could tell when I got back that he wasn't as stressed as when I normally leave town. Thank you so much!!! I'll be in touch soon.”


“Kacey and Elizabeth were absolutely amazing. Our family could not have asked for a better first Rover experience. We’ll continue to use them to care for our pup when we’re out of town. Timely, excellent communication. Totally exceeded my expectations!”

About: I’m new to Rover, but I grew up with a family dog and chickens and I’ve always loved animals. I can’t wait to get my own pets one day, but for now I love spending time with my friends’ pets and would love to walk, play with, or watch yours! I work from home several days a week, so I am able to walk or check in on dogs during the morning, afternoon, or evening those days and on weekend. I have experience with dogs of all ages (from energetic puppies up to distinguished elderly dogs) and provide a calm presence at all times. I look forward to caring for your pets in their own home, at my house, or out on walks.

“Shera was SO thoughtful and always put in that extra effort to make sure my old lady cat Violet was well taken care of! I could tell she genuinely cared about Violet's comfort and needs. She helped us out short notice and when I returned home, I could tell Violet had gotten lots of love and attention. She followed complicated instructions with medication management perfectly and was very communicative throughout. I will definitely be contacting Shera again!! Thank you :)”


“Karli was amazing! It was my first night away from my boy Bob and I wasn’t sure how he would feel about it, but Karli visited him multiple times, sent pics and videos, and made me feel so much better about being away. I will definitely book with her again!”


About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs my whole life. From personally caring for my senior dog who needed lots of medical attention to fostering 8 puppies, I’ve seen it all! I am a reliable pet owner and sitter. I can help with walks, feeding, medication, transportation, play time and training. Anything you need for your pup, I can help you! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to work with your pup! I am able to board pets at my house as well as travel to your house for boarding if needed. I have reliable transportation and communication. I have a one bedroom studio (and I allow pets to sleep with me if the parents approve) and a backyard that is fully fenced on. I own my house so I can have dogs as much as I’d like. My neighborhood is very safe and shaded, great for walks! I have parks and dog parks near my house. As for your home, I am an extremely respectful person and very respectful of your home. I am very clean, tidy and responsible.

About: I grew up with all sorts of animals as a kid and we had at least 6 to 8 dogs at a time. Some people called my house the zoo with the different types of animals we had! I have house sat for family friends in the past with animals and I understand the importance of your pet being taken care of while you're away! I currently have a loving almost 4 year old female black lab mix named Serenity. I would love to meet your critters whether it's taking them out on a daily walk or checking on them during your busy work day! I currently work full time and have Wednesday-Friday off and every other Saturday. I am available after 6pm on Saturdays so I can still schedule in the evenings. I live in an apartment so I am able to only offer drop in visits or daily walks for your animals. I can also arrange for overnights if needed. I do have a dog myself so that would need to be scheduled in advance!

About: I grew up with a black Labrador retriever, Benita, we had her for sixteen years. Growing up some of our favorite activities were going on long walks to the beach. In recent years, I have taken care of my friends dogs Archie and baby while they’ve been on vacation and have also lived with two cats. I work from home so I have a fairly flexible schedule. I am available mid day to go on walks and can be accommodating to your pets needs for shorter or longer walks. I live with a cat so my home is set up for cats. I have a litter box and non toxic plants in the home

About: I don't own any pets, but I love cats and dogs! I have extensive experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family in the past (small and big dogs, elderly dogs, and multiple cats) - so much so that I am now known as the “GO TO sitter”. I hope you will give me the opportunity to meet and take care of your furry friend whether it is for a walk or house sitting 🐾 - Whitney I work full time Monday through Friday but work from home most days so I'll be able to give your pets lots of love and attention (aka walks throughout the day, trips to the park, playtime, etc.)! Just let me know what your dog or cat enjoys and I will do my best to make sure your they feel comfortable and happy. I am also an active person so I can take your dog on runs or long walks! I treat all of the pets I care for as if they were my own! I like to spend lots of quality time with the pets that I watch, whether that’s playing with them, going on walks, or cuddles.

“Jandy was incredible and I will absolutely be rebooking in the future. She was very responsive in answering all of my questions before the visit, including being willing to do a meet and greet with my three cats (where she immediately got down on the floor with them to make them comfortable!) She sent multiple photos and videos every visit and reached out to ask extra questions just to make sure she was aware of how much each cat usually eats/uses the bathroom/etc to make sure everyone was healthy - which was so appreciated especially since one of my cats is on a daily medication. My cats loved her, especially the extra play time (Jandy brought several toys for them to play with which was great). If you’re a first time Rover user like I was, let my experience show you that you should def pick Jandy!”


“Isla did a great job! She arrived on time, followed directions, had fun with my dog, and checked in with me when she had questions. I will hire her again and again.”



About: I have over 10 years of experience dog sitting with various breeds, ages, activity levels, and medical needs. From puppies to senior end-of-life care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, training practice, administering medications, couch cuddles, or comforting anxiety I’m here for your pup! I typically work M-F 9am-5pm with an hour long break around noon. This is somewhat flexible and can change based on needs. I’m available to care for pets before/after work as well as quick check-ins at noon depending on location. Weekends I am most available for pet care, with occasional part time volunteer responsibilities. My home: I live in a fairly spacious second floor apartment the space is kept tidy with the exception of occasional dog toys thrown around by my cocker spaniel. There is a public park and community garden a half block away which I use as yard space for potty breaks, fetch, chasing squirrels, etc. Your home: Please share with me what your preferences and comforts are. I can stay in-home and spend cozy time or take your pup on outings to the park, dog-friendly venues, etc.

About: I would love to take care of dogs during my retirement life. I love to take dogs on walks and exercise with them, and cook well for them like how I do for my own dog. I have almost 40 years of experience caring for small, and medium dogs. I had three Shih-tzus, one Labrador, and one golden retriever mix before, and now I have a lovely 8 year old rat terrier mix. All my previous dogs lived a long and happy life with my family and I, and my current dog, Charlie, is living a happy and bouncy life with me every day. Dog sitting or walking is so important since they are loved by their family. With times away from the family, they’re usually stressed and I want to be the one the dog sees and feels relaxed with at home. My home is always open to dogs, and I am also able to travel to take dogs on walks. There is a lot I am able to and willing to do for your pets, I’ll treat them as if they’re my own. I look forward to providing fun walks and enjoyable home visits for your lovely pets! They deserve the best. I am currently retired. I love to stay home unless I am out with friends. So, love to hang out with dogs, exercise with them, and go on leisurely walks. I feed my pet every night and cook for him. I can accommodate any special diet your dog may need. I treat all dogs as my family. I have a fully fenced backyard with a grass patch, and I let them run free in my home. I will let them run free with supervision in the backyard at least twice a day. I love to communicate with them and see their reactions! And they also receive treats for any tricks they know.

About: I have extensive skills in training, socializing, senior care and behavioral work and am comfortable with dogs in all types of situations. During the lockdown of 2020 I went through a very difficult time as did so many of us and I turned to the thing I have always had an undying passion about. The wellfare of animals. I spent that year volunteering around 7 days a week almost every week. I learned so much both about how best to support our companions and about how our companions in turn support us. Pet care fits into my schedule daily! My main job provides a flexible schedule and varying hours and I otherwise have open availability for all of you and your pets needs. As a pet owner, I know how difficult it can be to leave your best friend in someone else's care. I pride myself on offering your baby comfort as well as making sure the owner is confident and in the loop about everything. I also like taking plenty of pictures :)

About: I am a very loving and caring person who absolutely loves dogs. Hanging out and caring for dogs means a lot to me! I’m super organized and love to make sure animals are well cared for even if that means giving them medicine and a bath. I work a very flexible schedule and am able to step away or work remotely from my phone whenever I need too which is great! I have a very organized and clean apartment with an extra room and bed-lots of pets love to snooze in!! I love long walks with pets and playing fetch to get energy out! I also love affection and caring for older dogs who need a little extra support. There’s also a dog park right next door for lots of fun!

Old Sacramento pet parents share their Rover experiences
We were absolutely thrilled with Copeland’s work! She has excellent communication skills and is willing to go above and beyond for pets and their families! She dealt with our kitty having accidents and adjusted accordingly. We will definitely book her again!! Thank you, Copeland :)!!!

Bernadette has exceeded my expectations duing her drop-in visits with my dog Penny. I have a long commute and needed someone to come let her out to go potty and spend time together during the day. Bernadette gives very detailed reports of Penny's mood, consumption, and potty habits, and it puts me at ease while I'm far away. Bernadette has helped in my home in big and small ways, and my pets absolutely adore her (she throws the kitty love in as a bonus!). I trust her completely in my home, and am so happy she is available while I'm at work!

Thank you Carrie!!! She did a great job taking care of Cleo and was great at troubleshooting. There was an apartment issue and she helped work with me remotely to solve it. Thank you thank you! She communicated quickly on the app and always provided updates from her check ins. There is nothing more I could have asked for.

Ashley was great! She is very reliable and communicative. She showed up to feed my kitty like clockwork, twice a day. Whenever there was something to communicate she did, right away. My front gate was jammed one morning and she contacted me with suggestions about entering through the back. She was very respectful of my apartment and kept things neat. When I got back she offered to bring back my key without me asking for it, and came very quickly. The entire process was effortless. She is great. I highly recommend her!

Holly took the best care of my two cats who both require meds in the mornings and evenings. She won over their hearts and trust so that insulin injections, pills and syringe meds all went well, with lots of snuggles and playtime. Thank you so much, Holly! 🐾🐾

Hope is the best!!!! When she is watching our two cats I know she cares as much about them as I do! She is an excellent and thorough communicator. Hope takes and shares the best cat pictures which helps us miss them a little less while we are away. We are so grateful for the love she shows our cats!

Chynna was amazing with our two pups! One of them is on a little more on guard with people he doesn’t know and Chynna was so patient with him! They became best buds by the end of our trip. Super appreciate all the patience and helping to clean up when our dog got a little too excited. Would definitely book again!

We’re so grateful to Kelcya “Kacey” & Elizabeth B.! They took such sweet care of our kitten while we were away—making sure his food and water bowls were full, his litter box was clean, and most importantly, giving him plenty of love and playtime. He was clearly well cared for! Thank you both so much! 💛🐾

I cannot overstate how grateful we are to have found Shera as a pet sitter. She is fabulous: incredibly communicative, very trustworthy and kind, and clearly cares deeply about each animal. We always have a hard time being away from our pets, but she makes it so much easier. Thank you, Shera!!

Josilyn was amazing with Lucy! She brushed her, took her on walks, played with her, and made sure she felt loved and happy the whole time. She even accommodated an extra day last minute, which I’m so thankful for. I’m really glad Josilyn was the one taking care of Lucy — she went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
