“Jenna was great with our two cats while we were out of town for the week! She made sure they had wet and dry food, water and clean litter boxes each day. Great communication and sent us pictures each day”


“Outstanding pet sitters! They went above and beyond to care for my cats—ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, and a clean environment. They gave the beasts plenty of love, attention, and brushing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets.”

“Jordan was super accommodating and flexible especially given the quick turnaround time of the request. Definitely book him if you're in need of some quality time spent with your pets!”

About: In my younger years I was known as that house you could trust your pets with, which sadly led to less boarding and daycare services and more abandonment of pets on my doorstep. I accepted each surrender because I always figured better here with me then on the streets. After successfully adopting out all these love bugs to people I knew and trusted over the years, I've found myself in smaller quarters. I've found comfort and fulfillment in caring for outdoor cats (commonly referred to as strays) Taking in an orange Tabby to call my own in the process. I've made friends with neighbors who share the same love and passion and through these connections found community - a cat community! I currently care for three cats (siblings), house-sitting as well while their human parents are away. Each individual cat has it's different wants/needs. Through these experiences I've learned gaining trust and love is different for each individual feline. I'm looking to expand my care/services to neighboring cat families mainly because I love cats and know how important it is to have a community of cat folks in your corner when duty, vacation or emergencies call. I'm currently employed by Uber Eats so I make my own schedule. I'm open to weekend care as well. The only thing I do religiously is cultural dancing on Wednesday nights. My current clients are all indoor kitties so I am used to securing the household, feeding on a schedule throughout the day and doing enrichment with them be that play or individual love and cuddle time. I prepare meals specific to each cats needs, keep litterboxes and surrounding areas clean and keeping water stations fresh.

About: I have worked with cats and dogs of all ages & sizes for the past 3 years with my previous employer, McCulloch Pet Sitting located in Las Vegas, NV. I recently have moved to Sacramento and am looking to continue pet sitting. I am Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid certified through American Red Cross. I currently am available for drop in visits and walks as of right now. Availability for overnight stays may open up in the near future. I am comfortable with pets of all kinds and will gladly perform proper feeding, walking and playing routines to ensure that they are well taken care of in the times requested.
“Always so happy with Liz! Reliable and flexible as we needed to book another drop in at the last minute due to our kitties autofeeder malfunctioning. I always feel at ease going on trips. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”

“Such good communication whole process through, our fur baby's loved her. Took care of all the basic needs and gave lots of extra cuddles, will definitely book again and would recommend.”

“This is the second time I’ve booked Sarah to check in on my car while I’m out of town and this time I requested her last minute. Really appreciate her taking good care of Frankie.”

“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”


“Thank you for always taking such amazing care of our animals! You've even been there for spur of the moment drop ins so many times! We appreciate you and so does Jas Benji and Nala. Thank you for everything Carrie!”


About: I have experience caring for my own cats (5 yrs) and understand how important patience, routine, and trust are when caring for animals. Working as a special education teacher has also helped me become calm, attentive, dependable, and great at noticing behaviors and needs. I am comfortable caring for shy cats, playful pets, maintaining routines, feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medication reminders, and providing companionship while owners are away. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe and comforting environment where pets can feel relaxed, loved, and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work during the school day as a TK-1 special education teacher, so I am available after work, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. (Depends on if I will be going out town visiting family) Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and helps me relax after busy days. I am organized, dependable, and good at following routines, feeding schedules, medication reminders, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love. As both a pet owner and teacher, safety and trust are very important to me. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean environment, playtime, and affection while also respecting the owner’s routines and home. I pay close attention to pet behavior, comfort levels, and any signs of stress or illness. I want pets to feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Today, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and I’ve also cared for larger animals like horses, so I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I spent five years working at a high-end, high-occupancy pet resort, where I cared for a large volume of dogs and cats in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, manage different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care even in high-pressure situations. I genuinely love what I do, and I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets. I’m the same way with mine. That’s why I show up with patience, reliability, and real care every time. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like their own, you’ve found the right person. I work full-time Monday through Friday, which makes me a great option for weekend trips and getaways. During the week, I have a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for early morning or late evening walks and check-ins on specific days. I care for both your pet and your home with a lot of respect and attention to detail. I’m big on cleanliness and keeping things in order, so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I also understand that accidents happen, and I’m always prepared to quickly clean up things like potty accidents or throw-up to keep your home clean and your pet comfortable. For walks, I’m extremely vigilant and safety-focused. I pay close attention to surroundings, other dogs, and your pet’s behavior at all times. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every walk is secure, structured, and stress-free.
“Kat was absolutely perfect and I couldn't recommend her more highly! Excellent communication, lots of photos and details, always right on time, and so wonderful and attentive with my challenging cat. She made a long time away from my cat so much easier and anxiety free knowing she was on top of everything. I will 100% use Kat again in the future, she did an amazing job!”

“Michelle is a wonderful person. She is so good with Boo and always makes sure he is happy and that his little area is in ship shape. We also love her detailed and thoughtful visit reports!”

Richards pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is my second time booking with Jazmine and I’m happy to say that everything was just as amazing as the first time. She took great care of my baby and kept me up to date with notes and pictures while I was away. Will happily book again next time I need a pet sitter.

It's clear the amount of care and undertanding Jandy has of animals with the way she interracted with my cat. Not only does she spend significant time getting to know them and ensuring the human that their fur baby is in good hands, she also built my cat a blanket fort for enrichment while I was gone. It was very sweet and I know my cat was in good hands.

Natalie did a great job. She was thorough and efficient. Her care for my cat showed her love for animals and especially my kitty cat. She was very responsive to any real time questions I had while I was gone. On top of caring so well for my cat she gathered my mail, watered plants, put out the trash cans and change lighting in the house every day. Will definitely hire her again.

I couldn’t be happier with how well Karli takes care of my sweet Bobby boy. I can travel with ease knowing I will get photos and videos and updates about their time together! I love how much she plays with him and cares, it truly makes a difference. Best sitter around! 😊

Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.
