“Gianna is fantastic! She has stayed with our dogs multiple times now and we always have a great experience. She’s attentive, communicative, and caring. Would recommend her for your future dog care needs”
About: Life long dog owner here! Whether your dog is small or often gets mistaken for a horse, I'd be happy to take them for their daily walks. I've formed strong connections with my household animals since I was a kid and would love to get to know you and yours. I currently have a flexible schedule and am open to accommodate your needs as a pet owner. Just give me a heads up and we can work it out. Open to different training styles and will be sure to follow any instructions you've given for your dog's care. I am a data analytics contractor looking to fill some time for some extra income. My schedule is currently pretty flexible for walks, and I'm trying to be on my feet a lot more in general. I take safety and trust seriously. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Walks are always on-leash, and I pay close attention to surroundings to keep your dog safe. I’m comfortable with crates if needed, and I make sure food, water, and medication instructions are followed carefully. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for like family.
About: With a lifelong passion for animal care, I bring years of hands-on experience to every pet I look after. From raising family pets and fostering animals in need — including those with medical requirements — to volunteering at local animal shelters and working summers at a pet boarding and grooming salon, I've developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and care. My commitment is simple: your pets will be safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As a homebody at heart, I've found that my quiet days leave plenty of room to open my home and heart to more animal companionship. I'm looking for meaningful ways to fill my time, and connecting with new pets feels like the perfect fit. I also have a dog of my own who is wonderful with other animals — he'd love nothing more than making new furry friends, and I know he'll bring extra joy and companionship to any pet in our care. While I don't currently have a yard, that's something I'm looking forward to adding in the future. For added peace of mind, I have security cameras throughout my home so I'm always aware of what's happening. I live alone with two well-behaved, trained pets, and I'm rarely away — whether at home or just around the corner, your pets will always be close by and never left alone for long.
About: As a dog lover I devote my days to the pups. I have a collection of various toys and activity boards for all pups to use. I do also make busy boxes using recycled boxes and things for them to chew up. My two young boys love to help set up the activities for the doggies and are great cleaner-upers. 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. I do accept puppies under 1 year. My pup LOVES baby puppies and is the sweetest thing with them. She’s wildly tolerant with the baby pups and will let them play all over her. I do not take breed under 25 pounds. I do take all breeds above this. I absolutely love big and giant dogs. My yard is fenced, it’s not super big but with YOUR permission only I do have a dog park about 5-10 walking minutes away I’d love to take them too. (Strong recall required, please let me know how well they return when called in a public place with others.) **** 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 NOT HAVE CARPETING). 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 pups 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.
“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.”
“This was our first time hiring a cat-sitter, and we were naturally a bit nervous since we were away for 30 days. Katia was wonderful with Kimi, attending to all her needs with consistent care. She was highly accountable and kept the litter robot, water fountain, and feeder spotless. It seems she’s a bit of a 'cat whisperer,' as Kimi was even more talkative with her than with us! Katia’s daily Rover cards became the highlight of our trip, giving us total peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend her as an excellent sitter!”
“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”
“She was super responsive short notice, willing to do a meet and greet and even walked him and fed him on her initial visit. That meant a lot, she earned my trust with my dog son and would totally have her drop in to take care of loki in the future. Super friendly and as a fellow dog owner she knew the drill. Deff recommend her to others who are new to Rover and want a thorough caretaker who knows what she’s doing and willing to walk the dog in the windy cold without ezcuses.”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly! We are first-time users of Rover and it was a positive one from beginning to end. From the Meet and Greet, to the actual dog-sitting appointment, and the after pictures/report card, it was smooth sailing. Not only will I use Kimberly again, but I highly recommend her. She’ll be sure to keep you in the loop and your pet might not know you’re gone for the day! Thank you again for taking such good care of our fur baby. ???”
“I can't recommend Colby highly enough! She went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Molly. Not only did she ensure that Molly was well-fed and comfortable, but she also took the time to play with her, which made a huge difference. Communication was excellent throughout the entire period. Colby kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that Molly was in great hands.If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter, Colby is the one to choose!”
About: I have been trusted to take care of multiple dogs over the past several years, as I am the go-to contact for family and friends! I also owned a dog for 12 years myself. I work full time, but I am available before or after my job or in between meetings when I WFH! My WFH days may change occasionally. I am very thorough with any feeding, walking or house instructions. I will make sure your pet is satisfied and loves me before I leave!
“Karren did a wonderful job caring for our senior dog Daisy while we were away. She sent us photos and detailed reports after every visit, which were so wonderful to receive. In addition to feeding and watering and letting Daisy out for pees and poops, Karren administered Daisy's medication, cleaned up a mess, and brought in our packages. We will most definitely use her again.”
“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: I've spent the last 15 years caring for dogs of every size - from tiny lap dogs to larger breeds - while regularly sitting and walking my parents' pups. I know that a Great Dane and a Chihuahua need very different things, and I'm comfortable handling both with confidence and patience. I'm also experienced with cats: when my sister and her family spent 10 days in Italy, I came by twice a day to feed their two cats and keep their litter box clean, so their pets never missed a beat while they were away. For the last 4 years, I've owned Hiro, a Shiba Inu rescue from the SPCA; he's wonderful with other dogs, but is reactive and distrustful of strangers. Through consistent basic and behavioral training, I've learned firsthand how to read stress signals, manage triggers, and build trust with a dog who needs a little extra patience - skills I bring to every pet I care for, reactive or not. Living with Hiro has taught me a level of attentiveness and calm energy that I think any pet parent would want in a walker and drop-in. Whether your pup is a laid-back senior, a bouncy puppy, or has their own quirks and triggers, I'll treat them like family. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo/status updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Weekends (Fridays-Sundays): Available anytime. Weekdays (Mondays-Thursdays): - Mornings: 06:30 until 07:30 -Evenings: 19:30 until 21:30 Weekends (Fri-Sun) I am usually free all day with the exception of some personal appointments on Fridays. On weekdays (Mon-Thurs), I'm available for early morning visits (06:30-07:30) or evening visits (19:30-21:30) - great for shift workers, healthcare professions, or anyone with early/late schedules! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own - following your routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions closely, and never leaving anything to guesswork. My approach is calm and structured, which comes naturally raising Hiro, my reactive Shiba Inu; I'm well practiced in reading stress signals, giving pets space when they need it, and creating a secure, low-stress environment for animals of all temperaments. I communicate openly and often, with photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether I'm in your home for a drop-in, or taking them for a walk, I make sure the environment is secure, hazard-free, and set up for your pet to feel relaxed. You can trust that your dog or cat will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. Sadly, I am very allergic to kitties, but I do love them. I have personal as well as professional pet sitting experience and have met so many wonderful and unique pets. I have experience in caring for puppies as well as geriatric dogs, including administering medication. My love for animals runs deep; I’ve been a vegetarian for 20 years now and truly believe every living creature deserves love and respect. You can rest easy knowing your pet is not only in competent, but caring hands. I’m currently a freelance editor, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available during the week as well as on weekends to care for your pets. I have plenty of experience walking dogs as well as caring for them in a fenced environment. I’ve also taken dogs from the home to a park nearby if there is no green space around your home.
About: Hi! I’m Sydnee, I’m 27, in my last semester of nursing school, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to farm animals, and I’ve even helped care for injured and orphaned wildlife. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just someone patient and attentive to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and keep owners updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, large breeds, multiple-pet households, administering basic medications, and following detailed care instructions. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them happiest. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered, or hoofed!) family members. I can’t wait to spoil them while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I work part time at a casino, mostly weekend nights, so I’m pretty flexible! Don’t be afraid to ask for any dates/times. I will put in my calendar when i am completely not available I have 1 beautiful pit bull, 4 chickens, 1 goat and 1 pig!I take so much pride with health and happiness for my animals and will make sure to do so for you!

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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
