Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Pocket, Sacramento, CA

“Jillian is great! Super flexible and caring. Our pup Rhaegar always looks so happy when she is here with him and she has been teaching him things! You can tell that she has an affinity with animals! We are so thankful.”

“Alanna was wonderful! She spent time to actually interact with my cat instead of just filling his food bowl and leaving. She also noticed a hazard on one of his toys that had been broken and made sure it was kept out of his reach so that he wouldn't hurt himself. She was also good about updating me on his behavior as well as notifying me of packages arriving at our home. I am so grateful I found Alanna to watch my cat! Knowing she was watching him definitely made my trip away from home more worry free!”

“Coryn communicated so well with us before, during, and after the visit dates. Our skittish pup warmed up to her quickly and all the pics and videos have me great peace of mind.”

“I’ve had Alma scheduled for drop ins for the past few months on the days I work. She is really good and patient with my teenage dog. She even helps with his training. She’s very communicative, replies fast and leaves a detailed note with good pictures. Very flexible with her schedule especially in hotter days. Never missed a visit. Able to do any of my requests. She has been very consistent with me.”

“Grace is a highly professional carer of cats. She is obviously a serious student of feline behavior and she is quick to respond to individual cat needs. Grace has excellent communication skills and she many times went above and beyond the calll of duty, e.g. bringing deliveries in the house. This was my first experience with Rover and because of the excellent exeperience with Grace, I will beome a regular user of this website. Thank you, Rover, for sending Grace to our house.”

“Justin was great with our dog! He quickly became familiar with his activity levels and he took him on walks and jogs, and gave him stimulating treats to keep him busy during the day/while we were gone. Justin took wonderful pictures to include in the daily check-ins, and when we checked our house camera we could see our dog laying by the door hoping for Justin's return, or he would lay at Justin's.”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and about 3 years caring for my friend’s cats. Whether your pup needs a long walk, your cat needs a quick check-in, or you're heading out of town, I provide attentive, personalized care you can count on. I specialize in safe, enjoyable dog walks with a strong focus on leash handling, and environmental awareness, especially around foxtails, bees, and other outdoor hazards. I tailor each walk to your pet’s energy level and comfort, making sure they get the right balance of exercise and affection. I also offer feeding and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, giving medications. I’m happy to help keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free while you're away to keep your fur baby safe, happy, and exercised. I also offer plenty of love and attention—belly rubs, cuddles, and playtime are all part of the package! Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your furry family! I plan my schedule around my clients’ needs, whether that’s daily walks, morning or evening drop-ins. I space out visits to make sure I’m never rushed and each pet gets the full attention they deserve. I treat this like a real job (because it is!) and I take pride in being on time, dependable, and available when needed, including weekends and holidays. My routine is flexible, so I can adjust to meet your pet’s schedule—early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, whatever works best for them. Caring for animals is something I love, and I’ve built my lifestyle around it. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your pet—with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and environment, so they feel safe and secure while you're away. Here’s what you can expect: 🐾 Routine & Comfort: I stick to your pet’s feeding schedule, walk times, medication routines, and preferred play or cuddle habits. Familiar routines help reduce anxiety and keep them happy. 🐾 Clean & Tidy: I make sure water bowls are fresh, litter boxes and potty areas are clean, and any messes are tidied up. I leave your home as I found it. 🐾 Safety First: I’m always alert for hazards (like doors left ajar, bees, foxtails, outdoor dangers, or signs of illness) and will contact you immediately if anything seems off. 🐾 Communication: You’ll get regular updates with photos and notes, so you know your pet is doing well—and maybe even having a little fun without you. 😊 🐾 Respectful Presence: When dropping in I’m discreet, trustworthy, and respectful of your space. Your privacy and your pet’s comfort are always priorities.

About: I adore caring for and spending time with animals. My schedule is negotiable. Your fur babies will be cared for as though they were mine. I have experience administering medication, caring for reactive pups and I’ll be ready for anything, even an emergency! I have a flexible schedule, just let me know how I can help. I am willing to do check-in, daily walks, and occasional over-night stays. I will carefully follow all instructions that are given to care for your baby to ensure they are safe, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl from puppies to senior pups. I enjoy how each dog had their own personality and would love to be a part of their wolf pack! I am currently a pre-school teacher and have a passion for helping animals while I am striving towards my certification for Child Life Specialist. I enjoy animals and love to help any animal in need and Rover is a way I can contribute and help others make sure their pet is safe and taken care of. Trust is a huge building block in any animal relationship. I would love to learn everything about my clients animals to ensure they are loved to the fullest. I don’t mind if the list of things the animals needs is long, I will do anything for your fur babies!

“Amazing - second booking for us and we love Minh! Such a sweet soul; gentle and loving with our cat when we're away. Also a pro at administering our cat's medication, which is not for the faint of heart.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages; 7 months to 15 years old. I take joy in giving your pup or kitty my time and making them feel as comfortable as they can in my home or your home. If that means playing with them all throughout the day, cuddling on the couch, going on walks, or giving more time and attention then I am happy as long as the pets are satisfied. I want the animals that I watch to feel safe and happy, as if their owners were home. I am open to pet sitting in your home if that works better but my preference is to bring them to my home. When staying at a clients house I like to get familiar with the yard and space so I know of any places your pet may hide away or rest. Some times our pets like to nap in places that we would not suspect and I want to make sure I can keep track of your pet at all times while in my care. I am flexible with hours during the week and weekends. At this time, I am available almost all hours. Please contact me 3 days prior so I can meet your loving pet. My yard is fenced in with a gate. I will manage daily potty breaks and walks regardless of the temperatures. Play time as needed will be provided.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and my major responsibilities started at about 8 years old. I aided my own senior dog with her health issues as well as my neighbors dog who requires extra medical attention. I am well-versed in dog-breeds and the nature of these animals. I love all dogs and have always been the dog-walker for my neighborhood. I have experience with puppies and am comfortable with large dog breeds. This will most likely be my main job, as I am a university student returning home for the summer. I am super flexible schedule wise and can easily meet any expectations. I have a fenced yard and my own dog who is 10000% dog-friendly. I am used to crate-trained dogs as well as those who may need to be restricted in the house. They will have my full attention no matter the environment to ensure they are well taken care of.

About: Use this code for $20 off your first booking with me :) MEREDM99318 I've had pets all my life, from fish to pet rats to dog and cats. I am a foster mom and volunteer for the local shelter. I am dedicated to caring for animals with compassion and love. I am such an animal lover that I have been a vegetarian for 23 years. I am trustworthy, reliable and am very familiar with different pet personalities. Looking forward to caring for your pet so you can relax and enjoy time away. I will do my very best to accommodate your needs as I know it can be difficult to coordinate pet care. I can also enlist the help of my husband if I can't be available during a specific time of day. I will follow all instructions to ensure your pet is cared for just as you would. I am experienced with pets that are high need and will keep them safe while you're away.

“Thanks again Aaron for checking in on Atlas a couple of times today. I appreciate your willingness to take care if him, and to do so last minute!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, but for the last 8 years, I’ve been the sole caregiver to my own dogs. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including seniors—my last dog lived to nearly 19, so I understand the extra love and patience that comes with senior care! I share my home with my husband, Alex, and our sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua mix, Pepper. For any boarding or daycare stays, I always set up a meet and greet in a public space to make sure Pepper and your pup are a good fit first. I offer dog walking, drop-ins, house sitting, boarding, and daycare, with personalized care for each dog. I have experience and am comfortable giving oral medication and I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine to help them feel at ease. Whether your dog is energetic, laid-back, shy, or cuddly, I’ll match their energy and make them feel right at home. You’ll also get regular updates and plenty of pictures so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and in good hands. As a fellow pet parent and longtime Rover user myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. I truly love animals and treat every dog as if they were my own! I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dedicated care to your pets. I’m off on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so those days are completely open for dog care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company. On the days I do work, I still have plenty of time to give your pet love and attention, with walks and visits built into my routine. We live in a quiet, gated community, which offers a peaceful setting for pets. In my home, I offer a safe, comfortable environment where your pet can feel relaxed and happy. Our community has a fenced dog park along with plenty of grassy areas for play and exercise. There’s also a walking trail nearby, which is perfect for daily walks and exploring. For overnight care or extended stays, I stick to your pet’s routine as much as possible to help them feel at home, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages to make sure you’re comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of my own 2 puppies, almost 4 and 2. And helped friends with boarding and grooming. Regularly walk the dogs along the canal. I work from home, with much freedom to come and go. I am open to board, walk, or drop in at any time at the moment. My dogs mostly free roam down stairs. They are trained to go into a crate or play pen when needed. I take them out several times a day and they eat twice a day in the morning and evening.

“Vanessa was great with our two cats. She sent daily updates and pictures. Made sure she saw both cats and gave them pets and treats. She came during the agreed upon times. Vanessa contacted us when there was an issue with our door and was kind enough to bring in our trash cans for us. Definitely will contact her for our next trip!”

“Hannah was an awesome sitter for my Freddie. I always got a good report on their time together and cute picks. I can tell him and my home were well cared for while I was away!”
