“Julie was lovely! She sent adorable photos everyday along with a nice message about how Momo was doing throughout our trip. This was my first time leaving my pet with a stranger and she made the whole experience so easy and wonderful. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. From playful puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and attention, I’ve cared for them all—and I truly treat every animal like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun, energizing walk or a calm, reassuring visit, I adjust my care to fit your pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and lots of affection and attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’d be honored to care for your pet as if they were my own! I'm currently working part-time on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can usually pet walk/drop in or pet sit on the other days. I prefer to care for pets in their own environment because that's where they feel most comfortable. The safety of your pet is the most important thing to me.
“Rebecca was a lifesaver dropping in to let our Holly out and give her a little company! The drop in went well, and Holly was happy to see Rebecca. I will not hesitate to book Rebecca again. Thank you, Rebecca!!”
“Nicole took excellent care of my 3 dogs and cat. My dogs are senior and she took the extra care and attention a senior dog needs. I will definitely have Nicole return to take care of my pets and I highly recommend her for your petsitting needs.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a Labrador who was part of my family for 16 wonderful years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals from an early age. Since the age of 17, I have worked as a pet sitter caring for both dogs and cats, providing dependable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have been around animals my entire life and truly understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets.I treat every pet with patience, affection, and attention as if they were part of my own family. I work full-time during the week, but I work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends, which allows me to dedicate quality time and care to pets staying with me. Even when I am not home, my husband is home, so there is always someone present to supervise, keep company, and care for your pets. This means your furry family members will never feel alone and will always receive attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply a calm and safe environment, I adapt to their needs and routine to make them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s home. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I work full-time but work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends. On the days I’m not home, my husband is present, so pets are never left alone and always have supervision and company. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with consistency and attention at all times.
About: I love animals and have had pets all my life. My experience in caring for animals includes most recently dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I currently have a dog and care for my son’s cat when he is out of town. My relationship with animals has always been amazing because I give them loving attention and ensure their needs are met. It will be my pleasure to have an opportunity to love and care for your pets I offer drop-in care, which means I can pop by your house during the day to check on your pets, handle feedings, and get them some exercise. While I'm not available for full-time house sitting or overnight stays, I build my drop-in visits completely around your pet's needs. I’m a big outdoors person, so when I come by, I love getting them outside for some fresh air, a good neighborhood walk, or a fun play session to burn off some energy. However, I’m just as happy spending quiet time indoors—ensuring your cats or other pets are fed, comfortable, attended to, and feeling secure while you're out." During my visits, I’ll happily spend time outside playing fetch in the backyard or taking your pets for a walk at a nearby park. When inside, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that!). Most importantly, I stick strictly to your preferred feeding times and house rules, ensuring your pet is happy, fed, and safe before I head out.
“Such a wonderful feeling to have full confidence that your puppies are in no danger, having fun and happy. That’s what Rachel does for us. We’re very happy to have engaged here services. We will always want to have Rachel caring for our beasties.”
“Such a nice saver and excellent pet sitter. Ryan went over and behind the call of duty to ensure my trip was stress free and the 3 dogs and cat were well taken care off much love”
“Alexa was easy to work with. She thought of things our pups needed without being asked. They were happy when we arrived home, and we felt she took good care of them. We will use Alexa the next time we have an opportunity”
“Veronica was great with my puppy Maya. She treated her like she was her own and kept me updated with pictures and notes. I felt very comfortable being away when Veronica was there and I would definitely recommend her.”
About: As a kid and into my teen years, I raised roughly 7 Seeing Eye Dogs for the blind. We had each dog for the first year of their lives before they went on to do amazing work. Even as a kid I was to-go to person for tips and tricks for the adults. I have always absolutely loved dogs. They’re an amazing part of my life, always will be. **** PLEASE READ. I apologize for this but unfortunately I am unable to accept pups older than 10 or those who maybe unstable on them or vinyl wood floors (I only have these types of flooring). I do have steps inside as well as 4 walking into and out of the house. I love all dogs all ages and I would prefer not to put them in a difficult position during their puppy vacation. I hope this isn’t an inconvenience. Please give your pup a scratch for me.****** I absolutely love spending time with dogs and puppies so they fit right into any day. I enjoy the flexibility that comes with this scheduling. I also enjoy that I have the chance to meet new amazing dogs often. I am a stay home mom outside of Rover so I do have two young boys, but it does that I get to stay home with puppies and my youngest. My three year-old absolutely loves spending the day with the puppies and me. I will always treat your dog or puppy as I would treat my own. With all the love in the world and give them everything that they need want or required. My goal is a happy puppy. Happy puppy means happy owners. And that means everybody’s happy.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have a lot of experience helping take care of them for close friends when they’re away. I’ve watched several friends’ dogs/cats for weekends and longer trips, making sure they stay on their usual routine with walks, playtime, meals, and lots of attention. What sets me apart is that I treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your fur baby is doing great! I work full time during the day, but I dedicate my evenings and days off to pet care. This gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, drop-ins, feedings, and making sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. I’m consistent, reliable, and happy to work with your pet’s normal routine so things stay as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also make sure to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and playtime so your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I always make sure pets are safe, secure, and well supervised during visits. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, whether that means giving them lots of playtime and exercise or a calm environment and extra cuddles. I also respect your home and treat it with the same care I would my own. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have owned dogs all my life. I have experience with small dogs and bigger dogs including a Rottweiler puppy of my own. I am very familiar with training, exercise needs, and keeping dogs happy and safe. I love working with dogs of all personalities and sizes and always make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I am currently a nursing student at LaSalle University so weekends Thursday-Sunday are best for me until I am on break for the summer. I have a fenced in yard at home and one fur baby to keep your pups company. Typically, if there's a fence I like to let them run around freely, but at school my dog has to stay on leash so we go for lots of walks.
“Honor goes above and beyond and really cares about her relationship with her clients. She is dedicated to providing the best care. She knows my dog very well and communicates any concerns or issues. We deeply appreciate her!”
“Ailiya was absolutely wonderful with my two kitties. She was communicative, fast at responding, caring, and gave great attention to detail. I found her to be very trustworthy and my two cats were happy and well cared for in my absence. They probably want her back for all the love and extra treats they got!”
“In February, Lauren really helped me when I was in a bind. I was caught out of town, and my usual dog sitter couldn't watch my two puppies for an extra night. I was panicked, but Lauren saved the day! She cared for my dogs -- no questions asked (other than, "Where's the key?", haha). She was patient, flexible, and very dependable. I was able to trust her without meeting her face to face. That speaks volumes on how comfortable she made me feel. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a great friend for your pets! :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Penn Valley
Jen is an amazing sitter! Our pup Marley adores her! She is always reliable and has fantastic communication. We love her Rover cards with her notes and adorable pics of our pup! She is very detailed in taking note of any care instructions too. Can’t recommend her enough!!
Brandi is amazing! She dropped in and took expert care of our 75lb adult rescue mutt. He’s a pretty dog but we’re in a new house so we were worried about his anxiety. She took care of the basics and even worked on some basic commands with him. We came home to a happy guy. Thank you Brandi!!
Rita did an amazing job caring for our 9-month-old anxious puppy, Figgy. She was so thoughtful, kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the day, and made Figgy feel safe and comfortable. We really appreciate her flexibility, especially as we just moved and needed extra support. No issues at all—looking forward to working with her again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Penn Valley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Penn Valley choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Penn Valley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
