“Brie did a terrific job. Our cat was well looked after. We had an issue with our alarms, but she notified us immediately. This was our first time using Rover. I was impressed with the app and getting the notifications and updates. Would recommend Brie and Rover.”
“Jessica checked on our chicks, as we were going to be gone for a bit too long for them to survive (in this moms mind). She did GREAT! If she did boarding would definitely use her for that as well, or if we need a pet sitter for an over night just do not want to take her away from her family for a week. Definitely booking again (already for July, and working on Aug.). Thank you Jessica!”
“Carly was an excellent communicator. She took lots of photos of the pets and wrote up a detailed account of her visit. She asked good questions at our meet and greet which gave me confidence in that she knows what she is doing.”
“This was the first time we used Rover. We were very pleased with Cari’s care for our little OHSO. We appreciated the daily photos and the attention Cari gave her. We will definitely be using Rover again and asking for Cari”
About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I am an empty nester and would love to care for your four legged family members while you are away. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.
“Majesty was extremely responsive and a great resource for an admittedly last minute request for a pop in to let our dogs out while we were at a Christmas party. I felt that our house instructions were read and acknowledged thoroughly, and majesty was communicative and reliable about showing up on time. We’ll definitely hire majesty again.”
“Anitra is consistently a wonderful caretaker and friend for Kali. She goes above and beyond and brought her a special toy. Thank you Anitra! Highly recommend as she is communicative and an animal lover.”
“I highly recommend Amy. She is a good buddy to my cat Teri who likes to be brushed while he eats. In good weather she takes him outside, and he enjoys cuddling in her lap. Amy is the best!”

Whether it's dog walks, cat cuddles, or keeping your home safe and tidy while you're away, I bring the same level of care and responsibility to every job.

About: I have always loved animals and cared for lots of other people’s dogs, cats and horses as a kid and young adult before FINALLY having my own dog, Yuba, who is now 7 and loves welcoming new dog friends to his home. We are on 6 acres (2 acres fully fenced around the house) where we raise vegetables, sheep, goats and chickens. Your dog will get to roam, lounge, play and dig to their heart’s content. I can also take them to the park/on hikes I’m a stay at home mom so I’m mostly home with baby and doing farm chores/housework. If I have to run an errand I can crate your dog, leave them in the house or take them with me. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly 60 lb bull dog mix. If I’m feeding your dog I will feed them each in their own space to avoid any tension. As this is a working farm, your dog may learn about electric fences the hard way. They only need to learn once. We also have a bee hive but dogs generally know to steer clear of it.
“Paola took such good care of our 15 year old kitty! Our house looked spotless as well, which I know wasn’t luck. Our kitty tends to struggle with hairballs! Paola spent at least 30 minutes on each visit, playing with the kitty and chasing away her loneliness. It’s so comforting to know that someone truly cares for your pet while you’re away on a trip. That’s how we felt about Paola.”
“Kellie always checks in regularly with thorough updates. She took extra care with looking after my garden in the heat. On both occasions that I have hired Kellie, she has left my house exactly as she found it (maybe even cleaner).”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I have worked at two animal shelters caring for all kinds of dogs with many different temperaments. I have a wonderful 8 year old dog that I got as a puppy. I took him to training classes and socialized him so I have a lot of experience in this realm. I understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving environment for the animals in our lives. I'm currently in grad school at UVa and have more flexibility right now. I can be over early and stay late depending on your proximity. I am currently only accepting requests in the pets own home, so I trust the pet owners to provide me with the information I need to make sure your pet is safe and happy at home. Do they have special toys they like to play with? Treat and trick time? A special walk route? You let me know what makes your dog happiest and I will stick to that!

Robin B.
“I highly recommend Robin as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She lives with her husband, several goats, sheep, chickens and their own dog, Yuba on 6 fenced acres in Penn Valley. She is extremely conscientious with all aspects of animal care and Yuba welcomes all dogs to play and hang out. When my dog, Archie, was alive, she took care of him often and he always enjoyed being with her and Yuba.”

Elizabeth V.
“Elizabeth possesses the ideal traits of an excellent dog sitter: she is responsible, knowledgeable about caring for and training dogs, and unconditionally loves every dog she ever encounters. Her experience working at the Humane Society speaks to her ability to kindly care for and responsibly handle dogs of all ages and all different demeanors. There is no doubt in my mind that she will be my number one choice of dog sitter when I have a dog of my own. ”
