“Lauren made our first Rover experience so easy and stress-free. She took great care of our cats, sent us lots of sweet photos, and even cleaned up some throw up (not a fun task, but SO appreciated!). Super friendly, reliable, and on time. We’d definitely book her again!”
“Adrianne did a great job with our kitty! She responded right away when we reached out to her, came over for a meet and greet and was very professional. She took good care of our cat and gave us updates while we were gone.”
About: I grew up on a ranch with all kinds of animals, so I’ve taken care of every size from quail to horses. I started watching other people’s animals when I was 13, from feeding friends 4H projects to staying at a house with someone’s dog. I’m currently working part time and am about to start my senior year at Sacramento State. I typically have evenings free and a couple hours in the morning depending on my schedule for the week. I’m very flexible and willing to work around or with anything! I don’t offer care in my own home currently as I live in an apartment. But I’m more than willing to watch them in your home to help them stay in their routine!
“Hannah was wonderful. I have a rescue who is afraid of everyone. She loved Hannah immediately. Even my cats loved her! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to not have to worry about how well your best friend is being treated! She’s the best!!!”
“Irena is a sweetheart and very professional. We are so happy to have found her and hope to have her as the regular sitter for our two cats for a long time to come. We’ve already had her for three different trips. She’s the best.”
“Just wanted to leave a special review for Stephanie! She really is a great person in general! And what a special kitty sitter☺️she really went over and above. You know leaving your fur babies with someone you don’t know is hard but we really scored with Stephanie! Such a blessing💜Will definitely use her again and again and so should you🫶🏽”
About: Tailored pet care with over 30 years of experience. I provide a warm and nurturing environment, ensuring that you and your pet feel loved and protected. I work full-time in a position that offers the flexibility to work from home, allowing me to split my time between the office and the comfort of my own space. On average, I work from home about 50% of the time, which gives me a great balance of productivity and personal time. My office is just a short drive away, so I’m never far from home and can easily make the commute whenever needed. This arrangement allows me to be present for both work and home life, ensuring I can stay connected while also enjoying the benefits of a flexible schedule. I live on a peaceful, country property spanning three acres, surrounded by nature and wide-open spaces. The entire property is securely fenced, ensuring a safe and enclosed environment where your pets can roam freely and explore to their hearts' content. With plenty of room to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors, it's an ideal setting for furry companions to stretch their legs and soak up the fresh air. Whether it's chasing after a ball or simply lounging in the sun, your pets will have all the space they need to feel at home.

About: I am a middle-school English teacher in El Dorado County! I am looking for opportunities to earn some extra money on the side, and after a long and exhausting day at school, I’d love to decompress and give your fur babies all of my love and attention. Aside from having the qualities of a teacher of teenagers, I am a very responsible and patient person running on a consistently empty social battery with many evenings and weekends coming up to spend with your furry/scale-y/feathery loved ones!! I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, personalities, and medical needs. My experience with other miscellaneous pets is little, but I am open to figuring it out! I have been a pet-sitter on Rover for a very long time, but have been on and off with availability due to moving and career shifts, explaining the gaps in my Rover resume. I have some future dates blocked out for fall and winter, but please message me with any inquiries that land around these dates so that we can figure something out! I am a full-time teacher in El Dorado, commuting from my apartment in Cameron Park. I am typically at work from 8am-4pm, but have flexibility in being able to leave a bit earlier if necessary. I work remotely on most Fridays, but can’t guarantee that I won’t be pulled in for a half-day of meetings and PD. Weekends and afternoons are completely free, if given enough time in advance to rearrange any plans previously made. I am extra careful to check on gates and door/window locks. I am used to skid-dish animals that attempt prison breaks! My approach to house environment is to replicate as much normalcy to the pet as possible.
About: I began Pet Sitting professionally when I was 16, but I have been caring for friend's and neighbor's pets as long as I can remember. I have also been a vet tech and managed a Doggie Daycare. My love is animals and I love working with them. I have wide availability and can accommodate almost any scheduling need. Pet Sitting is my job, not a side gig, so my calendar is committed. I intend to keep your pet's routine as close to regular as possible. I will work with you to determine what your pet will need while you're gone. I am reliable and trustworthy, and I'm Licensed and Insured for even more peace of mind. The safety and security of your pets and home are imperative while you're away. Having a sitter come to your home can make your home appear occupied and deter crime.

I offer dog boarding as long as your dog is friendly with other dogs, in-home visits, walks, drop-ins, and other jobs upon request. I am currently an at home student for cancer research. I am able to watch our furry friends all day and I can step a way for short periods for potty, food, and exercise breaks. Our home is in 10 acres so lots of room to run and play.

“We have two labs, one of which needs medicine twice a day. Shelly did a great job making sure our dogs were happy and healthy while we were away. I’d hire her in a minute!”
Yang P.
“I’m so grateful to have found Yang. She is a caring person who took great care of my 13 year old furry sister Bunny when I was out of town. Bunny is an older girl who is sensitive and needs a little extra patience and attention. Yang gave her exactly what she needed. I got regular updates and photos from Yang during my trip, which gave me a peace of mind. Bunny was so happy and healthy with Yang.”
Melanie R.
“When I’m in need of someone to take care of my Daisy, Melanie is my go to pet sitter. My pup is a rescue and has some issues with certain things that scare her. Melanie’s compassion and patience with my Daisy is top notch. I appreciate that she makes sure my pup is always comfortable ( even if it means taking up half the bed!) and in a peaceful environment whenever we leave Daisy with her at her house. And when we had in home animal care, Melanie is very thoughtful not only in making sure our pets are well cared for but our place seems to look better than when we left it! I will always use Melanie for all my pet and or house sitting needs.”
Kelsey A.
“We completely trust Kelsey with our precious pets and our home. To tell you the truth, I would trust her with anything because she is one of those hard-working, reliable, honest ‘good people’ that seem to be disappearing from the world! Kelsey has a big heart and an even bigger understanding of animals. We have three dogs (a Chihuahua, German Shepherd/Husky X and a German Shepherd/Doberman X), a cat, a Koi pond and an aquarium. She has worked to build individual connections with all of them, and they are always excited to see her! She knows their personalities, quirks, likes and dislikes. For example, one of our pups is terrified of fireworks. On the Fourth of July, Kelsey sat with him for hours playing soothing music and talking /petting him to distract him from the noise. When we return from trips we can tell they are all happy and have been well cared for. This allows us to fully enjoy our vacations knowing our pets and our home are safe. We feel very fortunate to have Kelsey, and would recommend her to anyone!”
