“Meredith came by for a meet and greet with Oreo prior to the actual day. My pup loved Meredith’s attention. She took him to the backyard for sunbathing, walked him nearby and also watered the potted plants and planter boxes in our backyard. We will be keeping Meredith in mind when we have need of her assistance.”

About: Hi! My name is Yifang, but I also go by Yvonne. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and 5 years caring for cats. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m insured and Pet First Aid & CPR trained, and I always aim to provide calm, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, including senior pets, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, litter cleaning, companionship, and providing updates to owners. I serve the Pocket, Greenhaven, Land Park, and nearby Sacramento areas. English / 中文 I currently provide drop-in visits and dog walking services on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure each pet receives reliable, attentive, and quality care during every visit. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and comfortable experience for pets in their own home environment. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, walks, and home access to help pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and reliable care during every visit, and I also provide updates and photos to help owners feel reassured.
“Marilyn was great with my roommate and I’s dogs. I loved getting the update pics and how quickly my dogs warmed up to her. She was very trust worthy and I will definitely be utilizing her services again ☺️”

About: I have been in the veterinary field for over 32 years and in all those years I’ve also been house sitting and I love it. I currently have my days free and I’m pretty flexible to do check ins and exercise. I’ll also consider doing sleep overs if need be. I watch over the animals as if they are my own. I never leave them unattended outside. I make sure the animals are very comfortable.
About: I have had pets growing up and enjoy them and their company. Oddly enough while walking anywhere if there is an animal it will approach me. My wife says I have "Disney Princess" skills. I have two dogs that I care for everyday throughout the day, however, for others my evenings are the best times to during the week, and anytime during the weekend. I ensure I have a clean home, and monitor what my dogs are around to include knowing what can and cannot come into the house. Having a safe and clean environment allows for a helathy life for pets who are family.

About: I have three dogs and a Cat that I take care of currently. I'm a big dog person and have always had the responsibility of taking care of my dogs even at a young age. I care for four pets at home every day. I give all of them plenty of love, playtime, walks, exercise, and regular feeding. I love animals! I make sure my pets have space to play, have fun, exercise, and also are able to stay safe as well as be happy, and comfortable as much as they can every day.

Whether it’s long walks through the park or just lounging around with your furry friend, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. You can count on me to keep you updated, follow your care instructions to the letter, and treat your pet like family. Looking forward to meeting your four-legged companion soon!

You can trust me with your pets—I treat every home with respect and stick closely to your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away!
About: I've had cats and dogs my entire life, and volunteered at the Bradshaw Animal Shelter for a year after college. I've fostered kittens and a senior cat with medical issues, and cared for many older pets over my life. I once house sit for a family with rabbits so I have a little bit of familiarity with them. I have house sit for friends with a standard poodle and a mini doodle, including giving the standard poodle his daily medication and taking them both for twice daily trips to the park. I have also checked in on my parents' two dogs and 5+ cats to feed them, let them out for potty breaks, play with them, and give them medication. My sweet orange tabby got cancer a few years ago and I fed him three times a day through a feeding tube and administered his medication as well. I work some evenings, so I am free most of the day to care for your furry friends. I take care of my own senior kitty in the mornings, after my evening shifts, and during any free days. I have pet sat for friends and family before, including giving medication and two daily walks. I will follow all instructions to the letter and ensure your pet feels right at home.
“He was very kind even though my dogs were a bit nervous and gave him a hard time, he even stayed longer to make sure they got their walk and fed them for me. 10/10!!”

About: I don’t have any experience on taking care of others dogs since every dog has different needs and I’m very understanding and caring for each special animal! I don’t have a job so I’m available anytime!! 🫶 I usually stay at home and clean around the house, I would love to take care of anyone’s fur babies!! I have experience with taking care of dogs for a while since I had many growing up, I listen to all rules that are given to me, I can send you check up pics in case you need them!!

About: I have 8 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures so you can see what your fur baby is up to! I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time throughout the week to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and boarding in my apartment. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m stopping by your home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care. I keep my Rover calendar updated with my current availability! I share my home with my best friend, who also has experience boarding and caring for dogs, and our Great Dane. We’re both comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I personally have experience handling reactive and dog aggressive dogs and understand the importance of boundaries, supervision, and safe separation. Because other dogs may be in our care, I always want to know about reactivity or behavioral concerns beforehand so we can provide a safe and comfortable environment for every pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pocket
Sophia arrived early and was very polite when picking up Yeti. Instead of taking her on a short walk, she gave Yeti time to play and relax in the grass. She even let me know that she would walk Yeti for some extra time. Overall, it was a great experience, and I know Yeti enjoyed it!

Marisa is wonderful! She came for a meet-and-greet with my dog and was so great with him. She responds quickly to messages and communicates well. I received little reports after her walks with my dog, as well as some nice comments. I plan to continue her services through Rover.

Hannah was amazing with my dad's dog mollie. Mollie is a cocker spaniel who needed medications and a walk. Since my dad was in his 90s, he could not provide this. Hannah was patient and flexible and the consistent meds and walks made mollie a healthier dog that provided great comfort to my dad in his final days.

Christine was an excellent walker for our dog Bella. She came over the day before to meet her, was exactly on time for her walk and sent to a of pictures even including some of our jealous kitty who doesn’t get to go outside! She was accommodating when I plugged in the wrong time and again when I had to cut my trip short due to my daughter getting ill. I will absolutely use Christine in the future!

Justin is fantastic. I've used him twice now when surgery has prevented me from walking my dog for a few weeks, or when I had a house sitter who wasn't up to dog walking. Justin is prompt, dependable, flexible when we needed to be, and, best of all, my dog really likes him! You can't go wrong with hiring Justin.
Alexander did an excellent job walking my dogs, Rue and Reo. They were both patient and playful with them, which made a big difference in how comfortable and happy they were during each visit. It’s clear they genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and know how to handle different personalities. I also really appreciated how communicative they were with me throughout the process. They kept me updated during each visit, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Alexander to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.

Myishia walked our Diego multiple times this past weekend, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly communicative the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Her energy is so warm and sweet, and Diego immediately took to her. You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs. I was especially impressed by her philosophy of leading with kindness and giving back through the way she cares for animals. She didn’t just show up to do a job; she took the time to earn Diego’s trust, and it showed. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care. We will absolutely be using her again anytime we travel. Highly recommend.

Alanna is wonderful! She has taken care of my pets over the last 15 years, including two dogs and a rather difficult cat. Alanna has the knowledge and patience to handle all sorts of situations with animals, including giving medication. I am grateful to her and would highly recommend her for all pets!

I’m so happy I found Veronica & Morgan!!! My pup loves them. They are super flexible and does such a good job taking care of my boy. They follow all the instructions I leave to the T and leaves a great report on how he did. I definitely recommend them for all your dog walking needs. I will continue to book with them for the foreseeable future.
