“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!”

“Brenna took great care of our 7 month old puppy and 5 year old goldendoodles while we were on vacation. Her professionalism and communication were excellent. We loved getting photo updates and the dogs seemed very happy under her care. We definitely will be using her pet sitting services again!”

“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.”

“Holly has pet sit for us on several occasions now. She’s always so communicative and attentive, and our pets love her! We can always leave town with full confidence that our pets are so loved and cared for when Holly is around— she’s so patient and thorough with our elderly dog and all of his supplements in particular. Thank you, Holly!”


“Patricia is a great communicator and was great with our two boys. She took great care of our home while we were away and we love the constant photos and updates. I would highly recommend Patricia and plan on having her back frequently.”

“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.”

“Sabrina was very professional and made me feel really good about leaving my senior kitty for the weekend. She sent daily pictures and videos and my house was in better condition than when I left. Feeling lucky to have her sitting for us again in a couple of weeks!”

“RJ did a great job watching my dog. He sent me multiple pics of her which put my mind at ease and kept in contact with me throughout the stay. Thanks for putting this dog mom at ease!”

About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. New to Rover? Use my code for $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/natass69178 I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.
About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.
“Great dog sitting experience with Jenna!! So kind and thoughtful of our dogs needs! Unfortunately we had a need for Last minute booking and Jenna was available and we were blessed!!”


“If I could give 10 stars I would! Not only did Kelcya and Elizabeth take fantastic care of our baby and kept us updated - they left an amazing snippet of Sookie’s behavior while we were gone. Already booking with them again!”

“Another awesome experience in the books! As always, Bari took fantastic care of our pup, communicated well, and left our house in great shape. I am so grateful for Bari!”

“Joel is our regular overnight sitter for Loki, please see our previous reviews! He looks after our home, and our dog, he treats our home with respect, and takes great care of Loki. We love getting the daily updates and photos of Loki, it gives us peace of mind that hes ok, and being a good boy!”


About: Ever since I was 10 I've taken care of dogs. I have experience in many different ages of dogs from newborn puppies to full grown. Since it is summer your pets will always fit in my schedule! Saturday and Sunday will be the only days I can't fit your pets in. I will always be willing to feed, clean, play and walk with your pets if they need it. I can stay overnight too as well.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and currently have two cats and a dog of my own. Caring for animals is part of my daily life, and I’m very comfortable with pets of all personalities. I’ve trained all of my own pets using patience and positive reinforcement, so I’m familiar with basic obedience, routines, and good behavior habits. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need to feel safe and happy. I always treat every pet like family 🐶🐱❤️ 🐾 Weekdays (Monday–Friday) Early Morning: 5:30 AM – 7:30 AM Midday: 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM (best window after work) Evening: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM Note: I work 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM on weekdays, so midday availability is limited during that time. 🐾 Weekends (Saturday–Sunday) Fully available with flexible hours Morning: 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM Afternoon: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM Evening: 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM 🐶 Boarding / Overnight Care Available most weekends Weekday overnight stays possible with advance notice (case-by-case) Please message to confirm availability I currently have two cats, and I live in a spacious, clean, pet-friendly loft apartment in downtown Sacramento. My home is calm and open, giving pets plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. I always supervise any pets in my care and make sure they are safe, stress-free, and settled into a routine that feels familiar. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and comfortable for them. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, walks, doors, and behavior changes because I know how important those small things are. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, care, and lots of love 🐶🐱💛

Jane was awesome again! I have 3 cats. One of them gets an inhaler 2x/day for asthma and has recently started a special diet that required us to transition to microchip feeders. Then there was a bit of a comedy of errors as a few unexpected things came up. Another one of my cats started urinating outside the litter box due to a household change a week before my trip. Jane was incredibly understanding about the litter box issues and flexible as I got more info and interventions from the vet leading up to my trip. Then 2 nights before I was set to leave, my whole trip was shifted back by one day due to a scheduling error by the friend I was visiting. Jane was accommodating and flexible again. I'm so grateful that despite all the last minute changes, Jane was still able to watch my cats so I could get away for a weekend! She sent me updates, photos, and videos while I was gone, and I came back to a tidy home.

Finding someone you trust with your dog isn't always easy, but Danny made the entire experience feel effortless. From our first meet-and-greet, they came prepared with thoughtful questions about my dog's routine, personality, preferences, and any special considerations. It was clear they wanted to understand everything before the stay. During the stay, Danny kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which made it easy to relax knowing my dog was happy and well cared for, and gave me even more confidence that she was receiving the best possible care. Danny is courteous, dependable, and genuinely invested in making both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.

Cheryl was wonderful with our two dogs. We had a last minute emergency and asked Cheryl to start her house sitting stay earlier, which she was able to accommodate. Our dogs take some time to warm up to new people, but they seemed so comfortable in Cheryl's care, which gave us a ton of peace of mind during a difficult time. She was also great at communicating with us through the booking process and during her stay and was a very gracious house guest.

Marina was fantastic with caring for our pup! She ensured all his needs were taken care of and ensured he didn’t stay alone given his anxiety. She provided daily updates with pictures and made it easy to feel reassured and enjoy our time away. Upon returning home, she left everything clean and well taken care of. Would hire her again!!

I cannot say enough good things about Stina! She took incredible care of my very particular but lovable goof of a dog, Millie! Taking her on walks every day and making sure she ate all her meals! Not only that, she took great care of my home! Going above and beyond making sure my plants were watered and taking full responsibility for the house! I felt more than comfortable knowing that she was there while I was out of the country. I wouldn't hesitate to have Stina take care of your pets, and I'll certainly be having her take care of Millie in the future!

Kacey was awesome with my dog Daisy. My place was left in great condition. My dog was happy and well cared for. I got pictures everyday and felt comfortable that i had nothing to worry about. Additionally, i messed up my return date and she was super accommodating with little notice. I definitely recommend Kacey!!!

Jacob has been amazing and we are grateful to have him house sit & look after our two furry family members. We were out for over 9 days and needed someone to look after our dogs while we were on the east coast. Jacob was phenomenal- very detailed and respected our wishes for the dogs and went above and beyond. Every day we received updates on walks, feeding (food & treats), working through discipline issues, training them along the way (we are still following his recommendations) and just being the absolute best pet sitter and carer. He is very detailed oriented; we had left some instructions and he not followed those to a tee. The house was clean & immaculate after we returned. Our furry family remembers were happy, healthy and well behaved!! Jacob was also flexible when our flight was delayed and stayed with the dogs till late. I will highly recommend Jacob to anyone who is considering using the service. It’d be hard to find a better sitter and companion. Absolutely the best!!!
Sabrina was amazing with our dog! We booked her for a weekend stay at our place. She came over and did a meet and greet and our dog, who is normally a little shy, warmed up to her immediately! She had great communication, sent photos, and left our house cleaner then she found it. When we did our meet and greet Sabrina was extremely thorough and asked great questions. Couldn’t recommend her enough and it’s nice to knowing your pet is in caring hands.

Jessie was great with my pup! He is over 6 years old and this was his first experience with an overnight pet sitter. Jessie was very communicative, sending pictures and updates throughout the stay, making me feel comfortable while I was away. She also followed his routine perfectly so he also felt very comfortable with her. Definitely hope to work with Jessie again!
