About: Hi I'm Jake and I've been caring for pets my whole life—dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, you name it! I’m a friend everyone calls when they need someone reliable to take care of their pets, and I’m now turning that into something I genuinely enjoy doing. Even though my landlord won’t let me have a dog, I get my fix by caring for all kinds of pups and kitties through house sitting and drop-ins; these options are a great way for your pets to feel safe and loved in their own familiar environment while you're away. I’m super patient, reliable, trustworthy, great at following instructions, and I always keep you updated so you never wonder how your fur babies are doing. I’ve worked with everything from tiny Chihuahuas to big lovable labs, goldens, pitties, Frenchies, plus plenty of cats and critters in between. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feeding, or just a calm buddy to hang with, I’m your guy—and I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and spoiled while you’re away. I do live a busy life including two part time jobs. But my schedule is still perfect for house sitting/drop-ins (see availability). If you don't mind me being in and out throughout the day and home with your fur babies at night, then I'm your guy! * Please note: My standard rates cover clients within a 10-mile radius of my home. My maximum service area extends to a 25-mile radius (approximately a 30-minute drive in typical traffic). For clients between the 10-mile and 25-mile radius, an additional travel fee of $0.74 per mile will be added to the total booking cost to cover gas, wear and tear, and associated taxes/fees. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I’m available seven days a week, with the most open availability from Sunday through Tuesday. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I work later in the day (2:45–9 PM), so I’m free for morning, midday, and evening visits. Fridays and Saturdays are my busiest days with both of my part-time jobs, but I can still do morning and evening visits—plus quick lunchtime drop-ins if you’re nearby. I’m also available for overnight house sitting any day of the week. I prefer bookings made about a week in advance, but I can occasionally take last-minute requests if my schedule allows. And yes, I’ve got reliable transportation to get to you and your pets with no problem. When I’m taking care of pets in your home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and totally spoiled in their own space. I follow your instructions exactly—feeding schedules, meds, routines, quirks, all of it—because every pet has their own little rhythm. I’m big on safety, so doors, gates, and anything a curious animal might get into get double-checked. And when it comes to your home, I treat it like it’s my own: respectful, clean, and never leaving a mess behind. Whether I’m popping in for a quick visit or settling in for an overnight stay, I keep things calm, fun, and consistent so your pets feel comfortable and you feel confident everything’s in good hands.

“Lillian was awesome! Lucy was in great spirits when we arrived back home. I would highly recommend Lillian and look forward to having her watch Lucy again, thank you!!”

“Caitlyn was wonderful. When our other Rover sitter canceled last minute, Caitlyn stepped in, came to meet our dog and coordinated the needed sitting within hours. She was communicative (sending updates and pics), timely and good to our pets. She’s a real find- don’t hesitate to hire her!”

Jennifer W.

“Dahlia was fantastic! She was super attentive and communicative. Kept our fur friends safe and our house in great shape. Will definitely book her again!”

About: I have taken care of small and very large breed dogs since I was a child. I am able to give medications appropriately as well as easily notice any signs of discomfort in animals. I read animals very well and am able to give them what they need to be comfortable. I moved last summer back here to Pollock. As I am taking time off from work right now I have plenty of free time to help you with your pets! I currently live in a mini cabin like studio on a property by myself. My family also live on the property in their own homes. We have almost an acre. Your pups would be inside mostly and only outside for restroom unless outside together. I can do walks or dog park routinely. I am also flexible and able to tend to each animals needs for whatever best suits them!

About: After having a senior dog who couldn't be by himself for even 10 minutes, I understand how hard it can be when you can't make any plans, or take a vacation, because you are worried about your dog. I just want to help people who are in the same situation I was.. I am available nights, and weekends and holidays. Basically, all those times it is most difficult to find anyone to petsit-I can be there. For one afternoon or two weeks, whatever you need.. I am just trying to help pet parents out. I have always been the person who family, friends and neighbors call when they need someone to watch their pets. I just started doing this professionally, but already have glowing recommendations from everyone I have worked for. I understand how important it is for your pet to be comfortable and have found the best way to do this, is to come prior to the petsitting job to do a meet and greet with your pet so they know me, when I show up to watch them. I provide updates throughout the time I am there with videos sent so you can see for yourself how your dog is doing in my care. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch,

About: Certified Veterinary Assistant (Kaplan College). I worked as a canine groomer for 5 years, providing experience with all breeds of pups. Volunteer at the SPCA for 2+ years, which includes canine behavioral classes. I've spent the last 3 years running my farm and caring for or boarding horses, cattle, goats, dogs, kitties. I have a set schedule Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide a predictable time frame of my availability throughout the week. I commute from the the Swansboro area, to downtown Placerville which makes it easy to swing by most areas of Placerville for weekday visits. My weekends are completely open for mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand pets get lonely the second their people leave, and I understand what it's like to worry about your babies while you're away! I'm willing to visit, walk, feed, simply hang out, and of course provide photo updates so you can try to enjoy your time away.

About: I’ve had pets since I was 3 years old so I know how to take care of them. I however have a fear of big dogs due to a past trauma. I currently have a work but I don’t work that many days so I have a lot of free time so i have plenty of time to care for animals. I have a large backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run and play in. I also have pets of my own so pets I care for won’t be alone.

About: Important notes: 🐾 NO ADDITIONAL PET FEES 🐍🐠🐹 I have a ball python and a fish tank, which are housed in tanks in a room away from all animals. While Rover does not allow pet checks for non dog/cat critters, I recognize they are family too and require care. I will happily accept watching or checking on them if needed ⭕️About me: ⭕️I started out as a kennel technician my senior year of high school. I was quickly promoted to a veterinary assistant position and worked as a technician for a total of 3 years. I’ve also been caring for my own pets since I was young, taking care of animals for friends and family, and even taking on strays or injured animals that need some TLC. ⭕️After my veterinary experience, I know how to administer medications orally or injected, care for animals when they are scared, assist the elderly with tasks such as walking, and much more. Due to COVID, my education took a turn and became more environmentally focused rather than animal science, but my love still remains. ✅Use the code RILEYH05117, or the link https://www.rover.com/sit/rileyh05117 for 20$ off your first booking I work full time with the ability to check on pets before 8am or after 5pm. I also have full availability on weekends. The longer of a notice I have, the more I am able to accommodate you and your pets. I have a couple cats of my own with their very own bedroom where they can find their food, water, and plenty of relaxation spots and solitude from my two dogs, if they ever needed a break. The dogs also have their own room, with their beds, crates, and a closet full of food. Food, toys, and plenty of water are provided at all times, even in the yard. I have a home with a tall privacy fence and plenty of space for the dogs to run around and the cats to safely roam with supervision. Safety, peace, and comfort are my top priorities when it comes to animal care.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for a few years now, whether it’s for family friends or my old teachers, I love getting to spend time with animals! Each pet has something unique and lovely to offer 🫶🏼 I currently work part-time and go to college, so I have Wednesdays and Fridays free to myself! I’m very active and love to take walks, and enjoy being with pets, so I might as well mesh the two! I love to follow directions/lists, so I typically do whatever the owner normally does! It depends of course, but I’m very flexible and fine doing anything. :)

I love taking care of animals with my whole heart and can bond/adapt to animals needs very well. I currently work a part time job where my hours are usually 6-8 hours a couple days a week so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies!

I treat them as my own and want them to be as comfortable and happy as possible while their family away.

“Josh is the first home & dog sitter we've ever used and he's set the bar incredibly high for anyone we work with in the future! During the booking process, Josh was friendly and quick to respond. He kept us updated on how things were going while we were away, and we came home to happy pups and an immaculately clean home. Thank you so much for your great service Josh! Looking forward to working with you again in the future!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, and no matter where I go, I always find myself surrounded by furry friends. I love staying active, and walking with a pup by my side is my favorite way to explore. I bring that same care and enthusiasm to every pet I look after. My schedule is very flexible, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Since I’m self-employed, I can adjust my day to match your pet’s needs—whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, or just making sure they have plenty of attention and companionship. In my client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect—keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. While making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and companionship

“Ayla was a fantastic pet sitter. She took care of our dog Henry and our cat Emily. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and went over and above our expectations. We didn’t have to worry about anything. We could relax on our trip knowing everything was going well with the care of our pets. She took lots of pics and shared them with us several times a day that we were gone. We will definitively use Ayla again. Thanks Ayla!!”
