“We had Lance for 3 overnight sits for our two pups. He was very communicative and posted many pics of our pups during each visit . They seemed comfortable with him. My older dog wears diapers and ran out of clean ones during his visit and he offered to wash the dirty ones so we had some when we got back! I didn’t expect that at all. He went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and a package that was delivered. We will surely have Lance sit for us again! Thank you Lance!”

“Ava stayed in our house to care for our elderly diabetic cat while my husband and I were out of town. She administered 2 injections and 2 pills per day, in addition to his regular care and feeding. She also played with him, brushed him, and gave us daily updates on how he was doing. It was wonderful to know our little guy was in good hands! We got home yesterday to a relaxed, well-cared for cat! I recommend Ava without hesitation, and I will definitely hire her again in the future when the need arises.”

“Great experience with Rene! He watched Karma in my home while I was away in Reno, followed all directions, communicated great, and took excellent care of him — all at a very reasonable price. Reliable, attentive, and trustworthy — highly recommend!”

“Keishla is such a sweetheart! I booked with her for housesitting and taking care of my dogs. She was VERY good with both my dogs. One is a 12 year old maltipoo, and the other is a 2 year old working line German shepherd. She walked them, fed them according to their schedules, played with them and spoke to them, gave them cuddles. She was very gentle, but knew how to be firm with commands as needed (my German shepherd needs a firmer command). She also watered the plants, and cleaned after herself and the doggies before she left. She kept me updated daily with detail and photos. 10/10 recommend her!”


“Jenna is the best Rover sitter I've found! Sends regular updates, is super thoughtful and takes great care of my older pup. Trustworthy, reliable. Have used her before and will continue to book with her!”


About: I have owned dogs and cats almost my entire life. I pet sit for family members. I am active, mature, retired (so very flexible), and love walking and playing with dogs. I am a young retiree who is a dog lover. My long-time companion, Katie, recently passed and I am looking to fill my void without being tied down full time. I am available frequently and would love repeat clients. When I am caring for your family member, that is all I am doing during my time with them. I am active and enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. I am a mature professional woman who respects other's space and I am very reliable.
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals, dogs, cats chickens, even pet rats and pet snakes! A favorite activity of mine a has always been taking our family dogs out for a run. I’ve had lots of experience with puppies and large breed dogs like Rottweilers and German shepherds. If you would like to schedule me for a run with your dog, Please specify that in your message. I’d like to know a little about your pup and the area that you live before I accept a run. I currently have a flexible job so I’d love to work your dogs walk or run into my routine. I love to run so if I can bring a dog with me to hit my miles and burn their energy, its a win! Mornings or evenings are my favorite time to run, while being careful of pavement heat and making sure the dog is happy and healthy. But I’m available some middays for check ins! My dog loves routine, so we have ours down. I’m happy to follow whatever your routine for your pet is, so that they are happy and comfortable!
“Rosemarie came to visit us and meet Lulu before the dog sitting date, which was very nice as they got acquainted with each other. On Thanksgiving Day Rosemarie arrived early and begin bonding with Lulu right away. We weee gone for a long time. Rosemarie fed and walked with Lulu. She sent us photos and even spent time cuddling with Lulu. We would definitely recommend Rosemarie and have no reservations about using her in the future as well as recommending to others. Thank you, Rosemarie!”

“Our dogs Brenda and Mickey were in great care with Maria. When they go to a boarding facility, they are stressed and lose weight. Luckily, they were able to stay home and Maria gave them the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy while we were gone. I definitely recommend Maria!”

“Alayna was terrific. She sent me updates while we were gone, keeping me upraised about my two cats and large dogs eating and routine habits. She ticked off my list of “to do’s” making me feel very comfortable about leaving my senior cats and persnickety dog in her care. I would recommend her and I will contact her again. Thank you Alayna.”


About: Professional, transparent, reliable, and genuine love for animals. Committed to creating a safe space and giving you peace of mind while providing the best care for your fur baby.

Favorite route, tree)
“This was the first time Jenna sat for our pets and home. She came to our house for a meet and greet in advance and came back the day before we left to review the pets routine. She asked very thoughtful questions about their needs and it is clear her vet tech background gives her a professional edge at caring for pets. This is particularly helpful for us as we have a cat with medical needs and some extra care requirements. Our house was clean and pets were happy when we returned. Would recommend.”

“Thank you for all of the pre trip preparations to make us feel secure! We appreciate all the extra time you spent with Loney before and during our trip. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for 25 years! I grew up walking and feeding my dog throughout childhood. I even rescued a dog of my own during college and managed his health conditions with medication for years before his passing. I have experience with young dogs and senior dogs who may additional needs. I also have experience with reactive dogs and love creating safe spaces to offer your pets chances to try their best. Throughout my life I have helped with dog walking and dog sitting, and loved it! I recently moved back to Sacramento and am looking for some doggos to brighten my day while I work remotely. I’d love to give you peace of mind that your pet is cared for and entertained! I currently work remotely and have immense flexibility with my schedule! I can schedule my breaks and lunch around dog walks and play time. I only go into the office Wednesday mornings, but my office is walking distance away from my home and I’m truly not gone for long. I have very clear and effective communication. I am confident I can assure you your pet will be taken care of like family! I’m open to having your pet come to my home and roam around. I don’t have anything in reach of a dog and can keep an eye on them at all times. Or I can crate them if that’s preferred. I also don’t mind going to your home if that’s easiest. I can work remotely from anywhere and keep your dog company. I also would not be multitasking when it came to performing dog duties. On walks and during play time, your pet would have my undivided attention. I take your pet and home’s safety very seriously.
“Janessa did a fantastic job watching my cat and house while I was away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind knowing everything was being well cared for. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and the house was just as I left it. I would definitely hire Janessa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life and have always been obsessed with animals. I went into accounting as a career, but am looking to be able to pursue my passion of working with animals through other avenues, such as this! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! I have a dog of my own who I walk, take to the park and hike with almost every day! I do not have a yard, but I have a fenced in patio with fake grass, which my dog loves to use as a yard! It’s spacious, comfortable with lounge chairs, which my dog uses to sunbathe everyday!
“Savannah was great! The house was just as we left it and the animals were happy and healthy. She was very responsive to messages and we already booked her for our next trip.”

About: Experienced with all types of dogs, including special needs. Skilled in walking, handling, overnight care, attention to detail, comfortable in medication administration and accurate dosing My schedule is wide open and flexible. I’m currently attending school to become a veterinary technician while looking for a part-time job, so I’m available to provide reliable, attentive pet care in the meantime. I’ll always be respectful of your space, house rules, and the routines you’ve created for your pets. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

Simone is wonderful!!! She took excellent care of our cat, even spending some extra time to keep him company until we got home. She’s clearly wonderful with animals; our cat took to her right away. She also went above and beyond in caring for our house—it was truly cleaner than we’d left it! We would absolutely book with Simone again. Highly recommend her for your pet care needs!

Brandon was great! From the minute he introduced himself, Max treated him like he belonged there. Brandon knew what Max was doing when he pushed himsef through his legs and grabbed his wrist to take him somewhere. The dogs were relaxed when I came home, unlike their visit to the doggie hotel. Brandon is polite and responsible. I will reach out to him again when I travel.

Susan was absolutely amazing! She is loving, professional, extremely trustworthy, and respectful. Our dog Sadie and our cat Lily fell in love with her immediately. It was obvious from all the photos she sent us while we were gone. She has become a friend to both my husband and I, and of course Sadie and Lily.
