“Nora was really kind and found some time for a last minute request from me. She’s been extremely responsive and responsible. Anika loves her! Will definitely keep her on my go-to list for the futyre”

“She is an amazing pet sitter! She is great with my dog, is very reliable, and I always know that my dog is safe with her and having fun! She walks my dog, throws the ball for her and lets her get energy out and use the bathroom while I’m at work and I always know she’s in good hands. She’s great at communication and is really flexible about what time she comes over. I highly recommend her!!”

“It is so heartening to know that the pups were getting some quality time out of the house while we’re away. Thanks Carmen for your professionalism, it is plain the dogs enjoyed the company! Paul”

About: I love dogs and cats! I have had dogs since the day I was born and I have been taking care of others pets since I was around 10 years old. I can give your pet(s) lots of love while you're gone and cater to all their needs; walking, playing, feeding, etc. I am a student but my schedule is very flexible! A lot of my work is done online too, so I can anytime to take care of your pet. If they're lazy I can always do my school work with them on my lap to keep them company! I will always cater to you and your pets needs as you wish. My upmost priority is to keep your pet and myself safe during their time in my care. As a veterinary student with lots of veterinary experience under my belt, your pet will be safe with me!
About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. Insects, reptiles, rats, especially cats and dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the ASPCA for a year! I have experience with almost all animals, and I’d love to help take care of yours! I take care of two pets of my own, but currently don’t have a stable job. My days are open! Might as well do what I love and get payed for it. XD I have a calm smaller dog, and a cat who LOVES dogs (she’s strange I know). I live right next to a huge park and walking trail.
About: When I was 9, I got my first dog, and that is how I started to be interested in being a vet and take care of dogs. I’m a UCD Animal Science student. My class schedule is not very busy other than Thursdays for this quarter, so I will be home most of the time other than that. I have 3 roommates (2 are also Animal Science students) who also loves animals and knows how to take care of them and have experiences with pets. There will usually be at least 1-2 person at home always. We have plenty of space for your pet to run around in the house, and a yard which we can be taking the dog out for potty breaks.
“Jessica took great care of our dog when we had to be out for day. She is very attentive and detailed in her care. We are so happy to have found her. Will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Michelle was flexible and available to “meet-and-greet” then walk our dogs on pretty short notice. She helped care for our pups on a day when our schedules meant a mid-day walk was needed…THANK YOU!”
“Esmerilda is an absolutely fantastic person and cares immensely for our dog. She has been our weekly dog walker for a little over 6 months--Our dog is a rescue and was quite difficult in the beginning, but Esmerilda has done a lot to help train and rehabilitate her. She also has done house sitting for us. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with their dogs.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have been taking care of pets for family and friends for almost a decade! Including: dogs (big and small), and cats (old and young). I can feed and water your pets, administer medicine, clean up after them, and provide loving attention and play. I currently have 2 precious cats and would treat yours as if they were one of my own. I work part-time, and with advanced noticed I can choose my workdays/work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I can care for your pets in your home/yard. I’m comfortable with pets that free roam the house/yard as well as with those who need to be crated and let out or taken on walks.

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and I have no problem giving them all of the attention they need! I also had a dog walking business in high school that gave me a lot more experience with other dogs! In high school I was also in FFA, giving me even more experience with dogs and even bunnies. As for kitties I have recently had a lot more experience with them and would be happy to give them any amount of love they are willing to accept 😊 I am a full time student, but all of my classes are from 8-12pm so I have a lot of availability throughout the afternoon, evening, and especially weekends! Having some furry friends after classes also sounds wonderful and honestly relieving in some ways so I am happy to help. I would care for your pets by making sure I am cleaning up behind them and keeping them well fed. I am more than happy to follow your specific dietary guidelines and want to do everything I can you make sure your pets feel loved while you're away! That includes giving them some pets and taking them on walks!
“Thank you, Jenna! Our spicy pup, Lou, was well taken care of on his walk today! We really appreciated Jenna’s thorough notes. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Jenna to walk Lou again :)”


About: I have grown up with my own puppy who I have taken care of and trained myself for 11 years! I know how to read body language and how to take care of both young and elderly dogs! I am taking classes right now but I am free most days of the week to watch or visit dogs. I spend most of my time studying/doing homework so I can definitely fit in playing with some puppies! I have my own private room that I can keep dogs in and we have a walking area right behind my apartment for walks/bathroom/enrichment time!
About: I have been taking care of my two dogs since I was 15 years old, a small Yorkshire poodle and a medium-sized schnauzer mix. Neighbors in my hometown of Los Angeles have also relied on me to care for their dogs and cats when they are away for holiday vacations. My experience includes taking care of a 16-year-old dog named Pasha for several days, as well as caring for multiple cats in different households. This included looking after a pair of cats in one home and administering anxiety medication to another cat over a five-day period. I am a student at UC Davis and have a flexible schedule between classes and extracurricular activities, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets. I am available throughout the day for walks, feeding, and check-ins, and I am also happy to help after classes, including longer visits or overnight stays if needed. I always ask clients for a list of responsibilities, so I know exactly what their pets need. I make sure to follow feeding schedules, spend time playing with and giving attention to the pets, and provide any care they require. I’m also happy to help keep the home tidy, like sweeping up leftover kitty litter, to make things easier for the owners.
About: I’m currently a 4th year wildlife fish and conservation biology major at University California Davis, on the wildlife health tract. I am hoping to go to veterinary school and have a wide range of experience primarily in horses, dogs and cats, as well as some reptiles such as leopard geckos and chameleons! Ive done veterinary clinics with UC Davis which has given me more in depth knowledge on canine and feline behavior. I am also on their foal team. I have experience with giving injections to both reptiles, cats, and dogs so If your pet needs any extra care, I will happily do so. Im Outgoing and love going on new adventures with my cats and dogs. This past summer, I went to Africa for a zoological and veterinary medicine internship (without either of my pets) but it was an amazing experience. Besides school, I have grown up my whole life with multiple cats, reptiles, and small rodents; and recently in the past eight years have adopted two large dogs (a Berner and a maremma sheep dog). I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family :) I currently have wide gaps between my classes at school, which will allow me to spend a lot of extra time caring for your pet. I currently have a cat of my own who I dedicate all my money and time to. She’s my baby. I currently just have my cat at school who has many toys to keep her occupied when I’m not at home. But when I am home she’s constantly on my lap and getting cuddles. I will do the exact same out of my own home as well, all furry friends deserve some snuggles. I am also completely comfortable with crating or moving your pets to their desired space for the day or evening
About: Hi! I’m Michelle—a lifelong pet pawrent and experienced dog sitter. I’m currently between jobs and happily spending my time doing what I love most—caring for dogs.

About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet experience, I have developed a deep understanding and profound love for animals of all kinds. My journey began with adopting my first dog, a lively mixed breed, which ignited my passion for animal welfare. Over the years, my home has been a sanctuary for a variety of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and even reptiles (upon occasion). I work from home most of the week, so I have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of other working professionals that are looking for a reliable, passionate pet sitter to take their fur babies on walks (or runs) while keeping them within their familiar environment. Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to welcome any pets in my house. I have fur babies of my own that I do not wish to upset their home life.

About: Hello, I have always been an animal lover since visiting my Grandma's farm as a kid. My first job for that I held for 4 years in High School was at a Vet hospital, where I fed, cleaned, walked, cared for and groomed the boarding dogs and cats. As an adult, I have loved animal watching/walking for friends and family. As a volunteer, I fed and cleaned the farm animals at a non-profit ranch for autistic children. I work full time in the medical field and enjoy being active so I am excited to get outside for walks and visit your pets on my days off. I am no able to own pets where I live, so I would love to be able to care for yours. Thank You, Megan I am available multiple days a week to walk and drop-in care for pets. My work schedule changes each week but I am able to scheduled services a week in advance. I would care for a pet at a client's home. I do not have a yard but would be happy to travel to the pet's home to socialize and make sure that they are feeling safe and comfortable.
Royal Oaks dog parents share their Rover experiences
This girl came through big time!! Was available at short notice, was willing to work with my spazy dog and was so nice, sweet and very easy to communicate with. My dog got everything he needed bc of her while I was on an important trip to see family.I’m very grateful!! 💛

I give Audrey the highest review possible. She was very accomodating to my odd schedule and was genuinely caring for my pet. I have had Audrey work for me a couple of times and she is my #1 pet sitter now. She takes extra steps to be sure my pet and home are well cared for and is diligent about following up with information. She is committed to animal welfare and is also a very pleasant person to interact with. Thank you, Audrey!
