“Julie is AWESOME! Communicates well, follows directions - I even thought I was giving her too much info, but she took everything I said and realized I was just being thorough since this was our first time using this type of service. We have a cat that is scared of strangers and I explained that to Julie before we left. And, bless Julie for trying to "put eyes on her" as she said with every visit. That meant a lot even though our cat hid under the couch everytime Julie visited. I would recommend Rover and for sure, Julie!”

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary technician with 15 years experience working in Animal hospitals. I have a big heart for animals and I've been pet sitting for a few regulars for over 20 years. I’m so excited to start pet sitting on Rover. I've also fostered dogs for a rescue and currently work part-time as a vet tech for a rescue. Caring for pets isn’t just my job — it’s truly what I love to do every day. Working in veterinary medicine has given me experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. Whether your furry family member needs medications, extra patience, or just lots of cuddles and playtime, I’m comfortable and confident providing safe, attentive care. I’m especially tuned in to reading body language and recognizing when something might be off, so your pet’s health and happiness are always my top priority. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I promise to treat them like one of my own. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your sweet pets! 🐾 I currently work for the school district transporting special needs children which gives me more free time during the day and summers. I also work part-time as a vet tech for an animal rescue. Before caring for your pet, I love learning as much as possible about them so I can give them the best, most personalized care! Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, energy level, and any little quirks that make them unique. It’s also very important that I’m aware of any medical conditions, medications, allergies, past injuries, or behavioral concerns (like anxiety, reactivity, or escape tendencies). As a vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring health concerns — I just like to be fully prepared ahead of time.

About: I’ve always loved animals, I grew up with two family dogs and a rabbit that is almost 8 years old. I currently have a 3 month old golden retriever puppy that I’m raising with my boyfriend. I’ve raised and taken care of dogs my whole life and multiple dogs at that so I’m familiar with working different personalities and giving each dog the individual care that it needs. I currently have full availability and plenty of time to take care of your pet! I have great time management and am good at creating/ following schedules. My puppy isn’t fully vaccinated yet but we have a lot of fun with her around the house and in the backyard, we love laying out in the sun together. My rabbit is more docile and doesn’t like to be handled as much but he enjoys treats and lounging near me.

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.

“Mykelle did a wonderful job watching our puppy (walking, feeding and administering medication) when we were away for a long weekend. When I first contacted her, she was extremely responsive and we had a meet and greet right away to confirm the dog sitting job. Our puppy Cora really liked her too. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures and excellent communication. Mykelle completely put me at ease as this was the first time that we had been away from our puppy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

“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! :)”

Penn Valley dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!
