“Erika clearly loves dogs! My friend met Erika at the house because I had forgotten to get her a key. My friend shared that both my dogs were excited to see Erika. Her report and pictures made me feel comfortable being away. When I returned home, the dogs seemed relaxed and calm. I look forward to scheduling future visits with Erika.”

“Michelle is amazing and goes above and beyond! She is thorough, caring and consistent! Extremely pleased and all the babies were happy campers as well!!! Thank you so much!”

“I highly recommend Philip & Jenny who have been helping me with pet care for my young puppy when I have work commitments that require me to be away. They are responsive, dependable, flexible to work with and great with dogs. It is a relief to have supportive pet care I can trust.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I adore all animals and really enjoy their company. Having two fur babies of my own I know the importance of having someone you trust take care of them. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. Pets are family and should be treated with love, compassion, and respect. I have taken care of animals of all ages. I can give medication if needed. I would love to spend time with your pets when you are not able to. I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I would have plenty of time to spoil your fur babies with walks and belly rubs. I can do doggy daycare and boarding almost any day and time as long as your dog is tolerant to other dogs and is up to date on vaccinations. Playtime, walks, snuggles, and whatever else your pups or cats needs are, I am more than happy to supply them with the love and attention they need while you are away.
“Vahid took excellent care of our furry kids while we were away. He communicated with us regularly, took plenty of pictures, and was very respectful of our home. It was such a relief to come home knowing our boys were well taken care of. We will definitely check with him next time we have a need for someone to check in on our kids. Thank you so much!”
“Best sitter! So glad I found her, she’s great with my two cats, and I can tell. She really cares about her job, and showing love to my pets. Highly recommend.”

About: I have had many pets through out my life and got to learn how to work with senior dogs, that includes one of my past dogs, Millie, who was 18 and I learned how to care for her. Not just that, but we adopted our dog Brooklyn when she was a puppy, so through that I learned to care and train a puppy. I know how to care for cats with cleaning their litter box and keeping them engaged. I love walking dogs and playing with them. I am working part time, however my schedule is very open and I can do daily visits with peoples pets. I would make them my priority to take care of them and make them feel comfortable. Also my shifts are only 3 hours so before and after I can visit the fur babies. In my clients home I will make sure that when they go outside I am either watching them from inside or going outside with them to make sure they are safe. I will make sure to play with them and care for them in my clients home.
“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.”

About: Pet sitter since 2017. I love animals and always had a cat in the house growing up. I was nomadic in my 20s and started taking care of my friends’ pets to get my cuddle fix. I am still pet free and full of love to share with your special friends. My experience is mostly with dogs and cats but also goats, birds, fishes, chickens, and a chinchilla. I am open to caring for all animals except horses since I do not have equine experience. I am also skilled at organizing, housecleaning, & gardening. I would be happy to add these services to pet sitting if needed. I am currently fully available to care for your pets. I have time to give them all the love they need so they are less sad to have you away. I love getting to know your pet’s temperament and interests. In addition to feeding and walking, I enjoy cuddling or playing with whoever I am caring for (the ones that like cuddles- I promise to leave fish in their tank!). I can easily bathe small to midsize animals while you are away for long periods and I am very responsible when it comes to medications. When possible, I like to take dogs out on fun excursions or to new places. If high energy, I prefer a safe area nearby to let them run or chase frisbees. Please let me know what needs your pet has!

“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”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and I currently have two large (70+ lb) dogs. I grew up with small to medium dogs and before my current pups, I dog/cat sat all manner of dogs and cats from friends and family. I am very detail oriented and attentive when providing care for pets and have a calming presence that pets quickly grow fond of. I have experience with crate training, leash training and giving oral and topical medication. I have created extensive care documents for my own dogs and am happy to follow as many instructions for your pets' care. I'm currently unemployed so I have immense flexibility throughout the weekdays and weekends. I have availability to check in on, walk and house sit your pets. I'm happy to visit your pets and help with feeding, walking or any other specific care you need while you're away. I really enjoy playing with dogs as well and especially if they like fetch! I love to throw and unfortunately my dogs don't have a taste for that so I'm happy to keep your dog exercised. I also like to go on really long walks and sometimes run with dogs if your dog needs more exercise. Otherwise, I'm happy to cozy up with your pet and I can even stay overnight if needed.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around them. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to help care for their pets by feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on them. I’m dependable, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have completely open availability this summer and can be flexible to fit your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and overnight care in your home. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I’m very patient, responsible, and attentive when caring for pets. Since I’m not hosting dogs in my own home, I focus on making pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow all routines and instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care your pet may need.
About: Hi 🙂 I’d love to welcome your furry friend into my home. I’ve been caring for dogs for 10+ years, helping friends and others with their pets, along with Rover. I truly love animals, and it’s my goal to give them the happiest and most comfortable experience possible. As someone who works from home, I’m around throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I also volunteer at animal shelters, caring for dogs of all ages- from playful puppies to sweet seniors- so I’m comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’d love to meet your furry family member and give them a home away from home! Please feel free to share any special requests or details about your pup and I’m happy to accommodate. 📍Sacramento | San Francisco Pet care fits naturally into my day since I work from home - I’m around most of the time, which means plenty of attention, regular walks, and lots of cuddles. I follow your care instructions to a T so your pet feels right at home. Walks, meals, and playtime all happen on their usual schedule because keeping their routine consistent is the best way to keep them happy and comfortable.

“Natalie took excellent care of Taco and played his little ears off! She took lots of pictures and videos so I knew that he had a great time. I will definitely be calling Natalie again. 😀”

“I have had an unstable schedule recently. Elizabeth has been very flexible with me over the past 2 weeks. I swell my dogs kibble as well as add “real” food like veggies, egg, yogurt, pumpkin purée etc. The feeding routine is not simple. She did everything as asked. My animals seem to really like her too!”


“Emma was excellent and great with my cat. I highly recommend booking with her and will definitely be booking with her again for my future vacations. She is polite and quick to respond and accommodating with requests.”

“This was our first experience with Rover and Melinda did an amazing job! My dog Charlie is reactive and nervous around new people but warmed up to Melinda quickly during our meet and greet. Melinda played with Charlie and provided pictures and detailed feedback on the drop-in visit. I’m so grateful to have found this service and Melinda in particular!”

“Jazmin was a great pet sitter for my baby girls while I was away on a last minute business trip! She was super attentive and had excellent communication when she came to visit. Definitely recommend booking if you need someone to swing by for a few days!”

River Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle was wonderful and took such good care of my kitties. A couple unexpected things happened and Michelle stepped up and took care of them (like resetting the litter box, taking out the trash, and cleaning up some hairballs). She communicated with me consistently and took the best photos! I’d definitely love to have Michelle look after my kitties again.

Vahid took excellent care of our furry kids while we were away. He communicated with us regularly, took plenty of pictures, and was very respectful of our home. It was such a relief to come home knowing our boys were well taken care of. We will definitely check with him next time we have a need for someone to check in on our kids. Thank you so much!
Emily was an awesome cat sitter for our two week vacation! She was a great communicator, quick to respond, and always kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. It’s always hard leaving our cats for that long, but Emily gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were cared for, loved, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. We’re so grateful we found her. 10/10 would recommend, and we will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!

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.

We basically never leave our dogs and even take them to work daily so it's hard not to worry. Lorna was amazing with our dogs! She was able to get Ripley and Reagan to eat separately, filled water, picked up poop but most importantly (Gave our dogs LOVE and PETS!) Lorna even sits down on the floor to cuddle and boy did our dogs look happy! We highly recommend Lorna!
