“Shirley was awesome with my little best friend!! Jovie isnt very acceptable with other people but took to Shirley. After a lot of fear leaving my Jovie for this long, I am so happy that i left my Jovie with Shirley. She took excellent care of her and kept me updated with every detail. I appreciate and am grateful for the service Shirley provided. Shirley, Jovie and I look forward to ur visit again!! Thank you!!”

“Giana did a great job with our cats! She was reliable, responsive, and gave great updates. She was also super friendly and had fun with our cats. Would definitely have her sit for us again! Thank you, Giana!”

“James was very attentive to all of our pups needs. He was also very flexible as some of our plans had changed on the fly. He was patient (Cash can be skittish) and made sure he was well taken care of. We would recommend James for any pet care needs!”

About: I’m patient, observant, and really tuned in to each dog’s comfort level. I love long walks and tailor activity to the dog in front of me, whether that’s an energetic adventure or a calm sniff walk. I’m especially good with shy, sensitive, or rescue dogs, and I’m consistent with routines, boundaries, and communication so pets feel safe and settled. I’m beginning a remote online program very soon, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs! I can be available any time during the day that you may need a sitter. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep things familiar and low-stress. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get the right balance of exercise, play, and rest. Walks are my favorite part of care, I genuinely love getting dogs outside for meaningful, enriching walks and tailor them to each dog’s pace and personality. I keep spaces clean, monitor behavior closely, and send regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe and happy.
“Joshua is a fantastic cat sitter. He arrived on time and sent pictures. Penny is a finicky cat when it comes to people, but she purred whenever Joshua came over. So very happy!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. My personal pet journey started with hamsters and the kittens in my grandmother’s horse barn. As I grew older, my experiences grew to exotics such as ferrets and birds. Then in my young adulthood I became a receptionist for an animal hospital and an animal E.R. There I became a vet tech as well. I later became a tech for large animals. I also volunteered for a private zoo handling the large reptiles, lions and tigers, and the petting zoo. Oh my! After 15 years I could no longer work regular jobs. I became disabled due to the migraines I get. Along the way, I had my own reptile rescue, took care of diabetic cats and people, and rescued different dogs, cats, reptiles, rats, and birds that needed loved. Currently, I don’t have any dogs of my own. I lost her in August 2025. I do however live with my mom who has 2 small dogs in which I take care of every day. I have to feed them their raw diet twice daily. One of them is diabetic and requires insulin at feeding times which is on a regular schedule. The pets I do have at the moment include a sassy cat, a grumpy bearded dragon, my son’s hamster and rabbit, and a fish. Our Sun Conure passed away a couple of years ago. She was 27 years old. And when I say my son’s, I pretty much take care of them considering he’s 7. I’m willing to help with other animals as well as dogs and cats since I have experience with pretty much all animals. I’m usually a stay at home mom so my hours are flexible. I’m mostly free from 8:30a.m. Until about 3p.m. Monday through Thursday. Friday I’m available only until 1:30p.m. Saturdays and Sundays could be possible depending on my mom’s schedule. I’m a single mom and she’s my only babysitter. If you don’t mind him tagging along - if your pets are kid friendly - then I’m absolutely available. He is very good with animals. But, I would prefer to be able to focus solely on your fur baby. I also currently work with Snipes Farm going to schools and teaching farm to table cooking. I also am part of taking care of their chickens, ducks, goats, and rabbits. I usually work with them 1 day a week or so. I know my schedule ahead of time so I can work around it accordingly. I make sure all doors are locked and clean up after your pet. I wash their dishes after feeding. I make sure they are happy and safe according to your guidelines. I treat them as if they were my own. I send pics usually to let you know how they’re doing. As far as walking and possible interactions, I avoid other people and animals, just to keep everyone safe. I don’t want another animal or person to harm your pet.
“Michael helped us out on short notice and cared for our 2 elderly cats while we were away for a week. He was very professional, sending photos and communicating both AM and PM each day. It did a lot to assure me that my girls were ok while we were gone. My girls were not very social as this was their first time with a sitter, but they were healthy and happy upon our return.”


“We were very happy with Heather’s services. In addition to our cats she was very comfortable taking care of our parrot. A kind and caring pet sitter. She was also able to give medication twice a day to one of our elderly cats.”

“Richard was great with communication, pictures and updates during our trip. He was very professional, came and checked everything out ahead of time. Our cat obviously trusted him right away which is no easy feat. Thank you!!”

“Wonderful experience! Carlee was kind and caring and attentive to my cats. She was always available to chat, very communicative and sent along pictures which we were so happy to receive.”

“Nicole was so great! She came by, fed our cute kitty, and cared for her as if she was her own! Our cat can be shy with strangers, but she was so sweet to Nicole and we’re so happy with the service!!!! Thank you!”

“Olivia followed our directions exactly and was very responsive and communicative. We have never used Rover and it was a great first experience. We will definitely use Olivia again!”

“I had to travel urgently for work and Brady was a god sent for me. My cats Lola and Bubbles were just as happy and content in Brady’s care as I had left them. Brady is 100% the best cat sitter I have hired. I always expect one of my cats to flare up a little bit if she is left alone without me, but when I returned from my trip, Lola was happy as a clam - and no flare ups! Brady is an animal lover herself and it is very evident in the way she conducts herself. Brady is kind, smart, proactive, and very professional in her conduct. She genuinely connected with my cats. I trust her completely with my cats. Brady will be my first choice every time I need a cat sitter to care for my cats.”

Penn Valley cat parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah did a wonderful job caring for my two munchkins. Both of my cats are senior and the oldest, who is 17 and takes insulin LOVED HER. She was super attentive, thorough, on time, and I loved the after visit summaries that she left. I will most definitely recommend her service and hire again. Thank you Sarah for taking such wonderful care of them.
