“We are vary happy to have found Jillian when our usual person was not available. She is kind and gentle and ours dogs did very well with her. It always great it feel good about someone who takes good care of our dogs. We will definitely hire her in the future. Don’t hesitate considering her to care for your pets when you are away.”
“Ana was a great sitter. She took care of my two cats and parrot and was super enthusiastic and friendly. She even fed my parrot fresh fruits and vegetables. I'll definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I have three of my own pups and 2 cats, and if my husband would let me have more I would! We don’t deserve animals! They are literally the best thing! I hope I can love your animals as much as I love mine while you are away! My boys love new friends and would be so excited to meet your fur babies. I work full time, but only work 8 hour shifts with some remote days. If your pets do well with other pets and hanging out for a few hours alone, I’ve got you covered! I have an elderly boy (14), so I know all about meds and providing comfort! Message me for more scheduling details, I can sometimes move my schedule around to accommodate. I have a fenced yard, my animals are indoor mostly because of this sac heat. I have the ac and fans on always to make sure they are the most comfortable they can be!
“We have a feisty old kitty who is very hard to medicate. Andee has been more successful with medicating her than any other pet sitter we have tried! We are very grateful for Andee’s excellent animal care skills.”
“Dustin was available in short notice and able to stop by and visit my senior chihuahua who needed assistance going out for his potty break. I was able to stay at my event a bit longer knowing my boy was get some needed care when I could not be home!”
“Natalie is absolutely fantastic, flexible, and a dream. She's also quick to resound and very communicative with potential issues and loving to my shy and skittish (at first) dog. I couldn't recommend her high enough. 10/5 stars.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and about 3 years caring for my friend’s cats. Whether your pup needs a long walk, your cat needs a quick check-in, or you're heading out of town, I provide attentive, personalized care you can count on. I specialize in safe, enjoyable dog walks with a strong focus on leash handling, and environmental awareness, especially around foxtails, bees, and other outdoor hazards. I tailor each walk to your pet’s energy level and comfort, making sure they get the right balance of exercise and affection. I also offer feeding and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, giving medications. I’m happy to help keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free while you're away to keep your fur baby safe, happy, and exercised. I also offer plenty of love and attention—belly rubs, cuddles, and playtime are all part of the package! Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your furry family! I plan my schedule around my clients’ needs, whether that’s daily walks, morning or evening drop-ins. I space out visits to make sure I’m never rushed and each pet gets the full attention they deserve. I treat this like a real job (because it is!) and I take pride in being on time, dependable, and available when needed, including weekends and holidays. My routine is flexible, so I can adjust to meet your pet’s schedule—early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, whatever works best for them. Caring for animals is something I love, and I’ve built my lifestyle around it. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your pet—with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and environment, so they feel safe and secure while you're away. Here’s what you can expect: 🐾 Routine & Comfort: I stick to your pet’s feeding schedule, walk times, medication routines, and preferred play or cuddle habits. Familiar routines help reduce anxiety and keep them happy. 🐾 Clean & Tidy: I make sure water bowls are fresh, litter boxes and potty areas are clean, and any messes are tidied up. I leave your home as I found it. 🐾 Safety First: I’m always alert for hazards (like doors left ajar, bees, foxtails, outdoor dangers, or signs of illness) and will contact you immediately if anything seems off. 🐾 Communication: You’ll get regular updates with photos and notes, so you know your pet is doing well—and maybe even having a little fun without you. 😊 🐾 Respectful Presence: When dropping in I’m discreet, trustworthy, and respectful of your space. Your privacy and your pet’s comfort are always priorities.
“Alanna was wonderful! She spent time to actually interact with my cat instead of just filling his food bowl and leaving. She also noticed a hazard on one of his toys that had been broken and made sure it was kept out of his reach so that he wouldn't hurt himself. She was also good about updating me on his behavior as well as notifying me of packages arriving at our home. I am so grateful I found Alanna to watch my cat! Knowing she was watching him definitely made my trip away from home more worry free!”
“Sent many pictures and was very informative of how he was doing.”
“Once again a happy dog thanks to Ms. Dependable!”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs, and with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I’m deeply passionate about providing the best care. Growing up with terriers and cattle dogs, and now having 2 dogs of my own, I truly understand and appreciate the special bond between dogs and their owners. I offer personalized care by only accepting one dog at a time, ensuring that your dog and mine receive my full attention. ❤️ A bit about me: I’ve fostered dogs, participated in doggie day-out programs to help relieve stress for shelter dogs, and volunteered with a non-profit dog rescue. Your dog will feel right at home in a safe and comfortable environment here. 🐾 I’m committed to providing care that’s tailored to your dog’s individual needs, whether through enrichment activities or simply companionship.

“Taylor was so easy to work with! I live in an apartment that is a little difficult to navigate through and she had no issue with all the instructions had for her. My 12 week old pup could be a handful and she did great with him. Will definitely be booking again”

About: I have 6 years of professional experience caring for dogs and cats in a variety of settings; volunteering at shelters to working at training facilities, kennels, and provide companionship to family/friends while their on vacation. I’m confident in handling different personalities, breeds, and situations with care. I work away from home but maintain a structured schedule to ensure your pup gets plenty of attention and care. Pups are let out in the morning for 3-4 hours before I work, and are only alone for 3 hours before my husband comes home. When home, it’s all about cuddles, play, and companionship. This means your pup is rarely alone for more than 3-4 hours at a time. Dogs have supervised free roam inside the house and access to the fully fenced backyard when I’m outside with them. When no one is home, pups are safely crated for their protection.
“Amazing as always! It’s so nice to know when I have a busy days Julia is able to give my dogs some love and make sure they are doing good. They love her and I know Julia loves them too.”
About: My name is Khalina, and I have over 20 years experience in caring for dogs. I am married with 4 children, although I was a fur mama first. I have been a pet sitter for countless of family and friends. I have owned 3 dogs. Two of which have passed due to complications of old age. We are very familiar with senior dogs and I would make sure our whole household would be conscientious of the the type of setting a senior pup would need. My family and I just adopted a Golden Doodle we’ve named Ophelia in October 2024. She is mild, sweet, and playful. She enjoys having friends come to visit. If boarding your pet, the only thing that I do ask, is that your pet be very comfortable and familiar with young children, and house trained. My children’s ages range from 7 years old to infant. I would never be leaving your pet alone with my children under any circumstances, but still would want there to be a comfortableness on both sides. Our backyard is securely fenced, and our home is pet friendly. I currently have a couple part time jobs but also happily wear the mom hat which needs flexibility for me to be present with my babies and for school pick ups and drop offs so I do have flexibility and availability for your pup. I typically only work for 4 hours at a time outside the home. I have a secure fenced backyard with plenty of room for your fur baby to enjoy outside. I am also experienced with dogs who are crate trained and happy to accommodate that as well. We have always let our pets be inside with us, and sleep inside. I would treat your pet just like if it was our own with the option to stay inside or outside as much as they want. We have 3 children so our home is by default pet friendly!

Parkway pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natalie was amazing! My dogs loved her! She sent lots of photos and a video daily!! Highly recommend her!!
Ana has been doing drop-ins with our pets for about 6 months now! Always reliable and gives great updates on the pets.
I’ve had Alma scheduled for drop ins for the past few months on the days I work. She is really good and patient with my teenage dog. She even helps with his training. She’s very communicative, replies fast and leaves a detailed note with good pictures. Very flexible with her schedule especially in hotter days. Never missed a visit. Able to do any of my requests. She has been very consistent with me.
Caroline was great! She helped me out over the holiday weekend and was always prompt with time. She seemed to enjoy spending time with my pet and always shared cute photos. I would definitely recommend her!
Monti took my dog on daily walks and gave him food & fresh water. I witnessed a little bit and he was highly competent with my dog. I asked him if I can extend. He did extend, though the price was higher.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about the care our dogs received while we were away! From the very start, it was clear that Alayna truly loves animals and understands how to connect with them on an individual level. One of our dogs—a senior corgi-beagle mix—is very slow to warm up to new people and requires a lot of patience, gentleness, and understanding. Alayna gave him just that, never rushing him and always respecting his boundaries, which earned her trust in a way that truly warmed my heart. Throughout our trip, we received thoughtful updates and photos that clearly showed how comfortable and well-cared-for all our fur babies were. It brought such peace of mind knowing they were not only being looked after, but loved. Alayna went above and beyond with the little things—sticking to their routines, paying attention to their moods, and even picking up on quirks that only someone who truly cares would notice. We came home to happy, relaxed pups—and that says everything. I’m so grateful to have found someone who cares for our dogs as if they were her own. We’ll absolutely be booking with Alayna again. If you’re looking for someone who brings empathy, attentiveness, and genuine love to pet care, look no further.
Taylor did an outstanding job. Caleb loves the attention she gives him and things always go smoothly.
Zariyah was amazing! I was away for five days and needed someone dependable to drop in on my cat, Gojo. She delivered above and beyond. She made sure he was fed, had fresh water every day, and kept his litter box clean. What I appreciated most was that she shared regular updates, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Knowing Gojo was in such thoughtful and capable hands made all the difference. I’ll definitely be booking Zariyah again. I highly recommend her service!
She was amazing, especially on short notice. Very accommodating. I really appreciate all of her patience and hard work and efforts taking care of my fur babies.
Firstly, Pedro was very quick with his response and confirmation of availability. I had to leave Sacramento due to a family issue and he confirmed the appointment even though I requested it at the last minute. He followed all the instructions I left written on my door. My dog eats a natural diet along with kibble, and he prepared everything as I asked. He took her to potty in the correct area and left everything clean.
