About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds. Walking, feeding, playing, and providing overnight care. For the past 4 years I’ve been living in the U.S., I’ve also helped families with walks, boarding, and even driving dogs to dog care. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved, and I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they get the attention they need. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8–5pm, which means I’m available for pet care most evenings, weekends, and the rest of the week. This gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight stays. Your pet will get lots of attention and playtime when they’re with me. I live in a safe apartment with a fenced yard and no pets. I always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for according to their routine. If needed, I can crate your dog for naps or overnight, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions you provide. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for over 10 years. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, feeding routines, walks, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I currently don’t work but I am enrolled in college so I have flexible availability during weekdays and weekends for boarding, walks, and drop-ins. I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment. I have a fenced yard and closely supervise pets at all times. I follow instructions carefully and can crate pets if needed.
“We are so happy that Danielle is taking great care of our fur baby! She is great with communicating regarding walking times and days, she loves our fur child like her own, and she is dependable. Highly recommend!”


“Thank you so much for walking cane! We really appreciate it! He loved you, hope he wasn’t too much of a butt head. Lol Loved the pictures sent and report if he used the bathroom during the walk. So glad we were able to use your services !”

About: Animals have been part of my life from the very beginning. My family raised and cared for pets of all kinds, including Maine Coon show cats, a golden retriever, and a yorkie. I grew up surrounded by them, learning early how to read behavior, provide steady care, and build trust with different personalities and species. The only time I ever lived without an animal in my home was during my first two years of service in the Air Force. Since then, I have continued to share my life with dogs, cats, and the occasional more unusual companion such as a bird, a ferret, and a snake. Every one of them has been loved and treated as family. These days I share my home with Daxter (my orange tabby) and Catarina and Beretina (two crazy torbie sisters) who keep life entertaining in all the best ways. I am a veteran currently in school and I work part time as a martial arts instructor. Outside of that, I enjoy drawing, playing guitar, and video games. Among my friends I have become the go to pet auntie because I care for their animals as if they were my own. My goal is to bring that same level of attentiveness and genuine care to every pet I look after. Whether they are shy, energetic, quirky, or easygoing, I meet each animal with patience, respect, and a calm presence so they feel safe while you are away. I currently work part time as a martial arts instructor during the day, but my schedule is extremely flexible to accommodate both you and your pets’ needs I care for every pet with a focus on respect, clear communication, and their individual comfort levels. Whether a cat or dog is shy, social, or a little spicy, I follow their cues and let them set the pace. With many years of experience, including caring for my own three cats (Daxter, Catarina, and Beretina), I’m very attentive to both physical and emotional needs and quick to notice changes in behavior or stress. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s. If you’re away, I provide consistent updates and photos as often as you’d like so you always know how they’re doing. I welcome specific instructions or preferences because every pet has their own routine and every owner has their own comfort level. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and content, and you feel confident that they’re in good hands.
“Michelle is an excellent dog Walker! She’s done a great job with my little girl VIDA. She is very in tune with her individual needs. I would highly recommend Michelle to walk your dog!”

“Bao was great! They were super responsive, asked great questions and were extremely caring. Bacon loved his walks with them and I think he may be disappointed I’m back to walking him 😊”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my deep understanding of dog behavior and my genuine passion for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup I care for. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I engage with them through structured play, enrichment activities, and tailored routines based on their needs and personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m already used to maintaining a structured, nurturing environment, and that translates perfectly to caring for pets. I’m home throughout the day, so I can provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.

“Teri is amazing. Very caring about my pet, and following our routines. She’s also very knowledgeable & safety focused, so I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her hands while I was away. First Rover experience was exactly what I needed when I booked Teri! I will book her again when I’m back in Sacramento.”


“I cannot say enough about how great Natalie is with Chet and in general. She is really knowledgeable about dogs and their energies and idiosyncrasies. I am forever grateful for finding her on Rover!”


About: I have been a dog mom my whole life, from small terriers to Great Danes, and have experience with dogs across the lifespan, as well as dogs of many different temperaments. I am also a lifelong cat owner and can provide excellent and personalized care for all of your furry friends. I have experience with medication dispensing, leash reactivity, and providing personalized enrichment and care, depending on the pet’s needs and personalities. Got a couch potato? Great, I'm an A+ cuddler! Got an adventurer? We'll go on field trips to local parks and walking trails! Whatever your pet needs, I am thrilled to provide. I am currently an MSW graduate student, so Rover is my primary source of income, and hanging out with your furry friends provides some bonus stress relief for me as well - a win-win! I am a full time MSW graduate student and Rover is my primary source of income, so my summer schedule is wide open, and my schedule while school is in session will be based around my class schedule. My own precious pup is not comfortable around other dogs, so I offer housesitting services in client's homes. I will honor whatever your pet's routine and preferences are, and am happy to schedule a meet up prior to our housesitting appointment to ensure that you and your fur baby feel comfy with me.
“Payton did an excellent job managing my very excited and not at all leash trained 8 month old golden retriever which is not an easy job but helped us get through a time where I could not walk him and he needed extra attention. Payton is a great communicator, punctual, attentive to details and accommodated my dog's needs. I am so grateful for her help and services. She definitely deserves 5 stars!”

“Beth was professional and gave momoe the attention we wanted while we were out and about. She paid special attention to our notes and we would recommend her again!”

About: Hi! I’m a big animal lover and enjoy caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m able to have a pretty open schedule so I can care for your animal almost all the time. I have my own animals and would love to know yours as well. While my home isn’t open to home any more animals temporarily, my cats are well loved indoor cats and have their own play room. They’re quite spoiled if I say so myself

About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years, but my real training started with my own dog Haku. He has taught me patience, routine, and how to understand different dog personalities. I am used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. Haku is friendly with children, other dogs, and cats, so I understand the importance of proper introductions and calm environments. Every dog has their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I work from home, so I get to spend most of my day around dogs. I’m available for boarding on weekends and flexible during weekdays. Your pup will have company, regular walks, and a steady routine instead of being left alone all day. Dogs can sense calm energy, and I bring that into my home. I keep things structured but relaxed. I respect each dog’s personality and never force interactions. Haku runs quality control and makes sure every guest feels welcome.
About: I absolutely adore dogs and their personalities. I had an older pup of my own, who has been with me all over California. Unfortunately my beautiful girl has passed. Now I have a 1 year old rambunctious little aussiedoodle named Thorin and all he wants do is play. He absolutely loves making new friends. I am always the first one to be called by any friend in need to watch their pets. I’m confident that Thorin and I can give your pet a safe space for them to have fun and you to relax and not worry. I currently work 2 miles from my place of residence. Your dog will usually just go with me to work every day, we have a bed/area set up (pet friendly environment) or if preferred the dog to stay home. My man comes with me, so we do the same for yours. Also, they would be walked first thing in the morning, on my lunch, after work and then again before bed. I have a crate if thats needed for your dog/your dog likes to have his/her own safe space. My house is free to roam for the animals. I have a big backyard they can play in.
Old North Sacramento dog parents share their Rover experiences
Paula is wonderful with my dogs. She has that calm, grounded energy that my reactive pitbull loves and trusts. She checks in regularly with photos, and my dogs are always happy and relaxed when they come back from walks with her. I highly recommend her, she’s reliable, punctual, calm, and truly a dog person.
Karli did a wonderful job caring for Sky while we were gone. She has great attention to detail! She noticed that something was off with Sky and found a burr stuck in between her toes. In addition to a pup, we also have cats. It was soo sweet of her to share pictures of her visit with them too. When we came back home there was a card with a picture of Sky in it that she left for us. ❤️ I’d hire Karli anytime to look after our pets!
