Markita was so sweet to my cat, Comet, and ensured she was comfortable while we were out of town. Markita was able to administer Comet’s medication. Thank you, Markita!

Mo was awesome. She was comfortable and patient while caring for my oversized Doberman. He can be intimidating and selective at times with people but Mo was confident and addressed him in a way that gained his trust. They quickly became good friends and Doobie was happy and excited to see Mo when she came over to play and feed him. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. And I will definitely rehire her for any future trips I may take. I feel lucky tonhave found such a great sitter!!

Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!

had a great experience working with Shang over a two week period. She walked and fed my dogs with so much care and reliability. I even had an “oops” moment where I mistakenly thought a day was booked when it wasn’t, and she was incredibly gracious and understanding when I reached out. Once we sorted out my mistake, she confirmed the remaining days and everything went smoothly. I truly appreciate her professionalism, kindness, and flexibility. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!

About: I've spent my entire life caring for animals - over the years I've looked after more than 20–30 dogs and cats, each with their own personality and needs. That experience has taught me patience, empathy, and a deep respect for every animal I care for. Now I share my home with Teddy, my sweet Aussiedor who is incredibly friendly with both dogs and cats. My home is calm, safe, and full of love, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Why book with me: My home sits on a fully fenced yard with nearly 3,700 sqft of outdoor space - one of the largest private yards you'll find in Natomas. Your dog will have room to run, explore, and play freely in a safe, secure environment. I work from home, which means your dog is never left alone for long. I follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, and medication so their day feels familiar and comfortable. I also believe in giving back - I donate 25% of every booking to a local Animal Shelter here in Sacramento. At the end of each month I send every client proof of the donation. When you book with me, your dog gets loved & another dog gets a chance. my work-from-home arrangement offers flexible hours, allowing me to easily adjust my schedule to accommodate your dog's walks. Whether you prefer mornings, midday, or afternoons, I can make it work. However, please do provide me with a day or two's notice in advance, so I can plan accordingly. Just keep in mind that I won't be able to do walks after 8pm. Your dog's well-being is important to me, and I'm excited to work together to ensure they get the exercise they need. I care for pets with patience, routine, and a lot of affection. In my home, I make sure they feel safe and relaxed, with plenty of attention, playtime, and quiet rest. I follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, and medication so their day feels familiar. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s space and stick closely to their normal routine. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent, give regular updates if requested, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. Every pet is cared for as if they were my own.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for over a decade. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving care for their pets when traveling. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with diverse animals: I understand unique needs, from high-energy pups to calm seniors and independent to medically needy cats. I'm patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so I'm available most of the day for pet care! This means plenty of time to play, cuddle, walk, or just hang out. I'm home daily to provide consistent attention and routine. I'm open almost anytime, with weekends and evenings fully free too. Your pet will never feel alone! I provide all care directly in your home, so your pet stays in their own familiar, comfortable environment—reducing stress and keeping routines intact for any animal. I prioritize safety by following your exact instructions for feeding, cleaning, enrichment, handling, and any medications or special needs. I check for hazards, secure the space as needed, and handle every pet gently and patiently while respecting their personality and boundaries. Trust is everything: I send daily photo/text updates with happy moments and details, treat your home with complete respect, and leave everything exactly as I found it. Your pet and space are in caring, reliable hands!

Jazmine is super communicative, responsible, and accommodating! This was my first time booking on Rover and Jazmine made the process super easy. She always updated me promptly each visit throughout the 2 weeks we were gone and sent pictures and videos. We have 3 cats and 1 of them is still a kitten so I felt a sense of relief knowing that he was getting play time with her and that our cats had company and someone checking on them every day. When we had problems like my kitten constantly splashing water out of their water fountain and flooding our floor, Jazmine offered to drop by and help handle the situation even outside of her hours. She regularly offered additional assistance to take care of the cats as needed! I really appreciate that she went above and beyond to care for our kitties and I’d happily rebook and recommend her to others!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, versatility, and special skills. Not only do I currently dog sit and house sit for three families on an as-needed basis, but I also bring a wealth of experience in handling dogs of all ages and needs. I’m skilled at training puppies, which includes basic obedience and socialization techniques. Additionally, I’m comfortable with senior dogs, providing them with extra care and attention to meet their specific health and mobility needs. My commitment to understanding each dog’s unique personality and routine ensures they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. I currently work full-time in a community-based job where I have the flexibility to create my own schedule. I like to tailor my schedule around my needs for the week, with weekends being when I have the most availability. My current families prefer that I stay in their home, and I’m open to doing the same with other families as well When caring for pets in my client's home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines the family has established. I ensure pets are fed on time, given fresh water, and get the appropriate amount of exercise and attention. I also monitor their health, administer any needed medications, and keep the environment safe and clean. If there are specific needs or requests for the pets, I prioritize those to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in the absence of their owners

About: See I loved dogs ever since I was a little girl, because to me they were like free therapy that had adorable furry faces. In general I'm a very empathetic girl, so I have a good intuition when it comes to different energies and feelings. When it comes to your fur babies, I put my full efforts on display to be attentive to your dogs when they need love or space when they are overstimulated. I LOVE brushing and wiping down dogs because it's a win-win experience. I get to build a bond and they get a pampered experience to look nice, clean, and cuddle- ready. Although I'm not a professional trainer, I love to keep my mind refreshed on dog training and behavior because to me it's beneficial for both me and the dog. Since I have lots of free time during the week, my family sometimes ask me to help with babysitting at times only once or twice a week. So I don't always have a set schedule when it comes to certain days, however when it comes to time I'm more available from 11am and on. But I am open to early mornings depending on my availability. Meet and greets will required in advance before confirming a booking. From family, friends, and neighbors, I've always been the one person that everyone thinks of when they need some trusting and loving. I understand how scary it is trusting anyone, let alone a stranger! However you won't face any stress, fear, or anxiety when it comes to me. I treat your home as a treasured temple that is not to be tampered with and must be treated with ultimate respect and cared cleanliness. I give everyone multiple updates with text and photo so you can see for your self what's happening in real time. And I will be very honest and detailed with you ,good or bad, because I don't want you to have any kind of lingering concerns.

Markita was available with only a one day notice following scheduling problems with my previous cat sitter. This allowed me to continue my trip to the east coast. Her care of my cats while I was out of town, was exceptional. Markita is kind, conscientious, and reliable. I would highly recommend her.
