“This is our first time using rover and Sam made it a positive experience from the time i contacted her and through the meet and great and the entire sit. We had to adjust our start time couple of times but she was very flexible with that, we really appreciate her for understanding. The Sit went very smooth as well, we got all the updates even before we asking with pictures :) Snow was very well taken care of, we could tell that once we reached home since he was not anxious at all. Overall Sam is great and we will be in touch soon for our next vacations :)”

“Morgan took excellent care of my pets when I was away. I have a dog and two cats, one with special needs, and they absolutely loved Morgan! She played all day with the dog and took her for walks. She was really great with my cats also which can be a bit timid. I plan to use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”


About: I have had pets all of my growing up and have taken care of them. I have walked many dogs on wag from small dogs with little activity to huskies. Also for a year and half now I have house sitter for clients from a week to a weekend to a day. Getting a degree has shown me my resilience, self-determination, and commitment to hard work. Also my ability to provide compassionate care not only to people but also making your pets feel safe. Currently I just graduated college so I have just been spending time reorganizing my things at home so I have plenty of time to fit in playing with your furr babies When going into your home, I will make sure to be respectful of your surroundings and be in and out as fast as possible :)

About: Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always been surrounded by animals! My next-door neighbor would trust me for weeks at a time to take care of her old cat, and I would always take care of my pets when my parents weren’t home. Over the past year and a half, I worked at a local veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve decided to take on pet-sitting full time while I finish college with my career goal being a veterinarian! I also own a leopard gecko, giving me experience handling exotic reptiles! Whether your pets need frequent potty breaks, walks, play-dates, or any sort of medication, I’m your gal! Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority! I’m currently unemployed, and about to finish my college semester- giving me of the time in the world to work with you and your pets! My availability will always be flexible and I will be attentive to any of your needs. I live with one (soon to be two) dogs! My current dog is very sweet and sociable- she loves to make new friends! I’m used to taking big and small dogs on walks, and am more than willing to take your pet on a playdate with mine! I can crate your animal, prepare special meals, and clean up after them if they’re used to going potty in your backyard! Same thing applies to cats and their litter-boxes! I will always be sure to make sure your pets are comfortable while you’re away.
“Ronni was a wonderful sitter for our week away. She communicated with us regularly with updates. We came home to a happy dog and house well kept. I would not hesitate to contact Ronni and look forward to her next visit!”

“Mia housesits for us regularly. She does a wonderful job with our dog and cat. Our cat adores Mia and loves all the playtime and attention she gets when our dog goes with us on trips. When we arrive home, the house is well cared for and clean. It gives us peace of mind to know our pets are in good hands when we're traveling.”

“Madalyn has become part of the family taking care of our 2 Cavapoo puppies while we were on vacation. We had complete confidence that our puppies and the house would be taken care of as she supported us with multiple flight changes. We know how much effort goes into to watching Bruno and Lucy with house training and puppy play!!”


About: I have always been lucky enough to have a dog growing up. I have looked after my neighbors pets multiple times as well. I am very comfortable around all types. As for cats I have never personally taken care of any but I do volunteer at the shelter that has both cats and dogs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them and treat them as if they were my own. I have one family dog named Charles. He is a Lagotto Romagnolo and he truly is my bestfriend. I am interning at an accounting firm and I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 to 5 pm. I am free to pet sit these days too after 5. Since I sit at a desk all day, I have a lot of energy leftover and love going on walks and playing with my dog in the evening. Hopefully in the future yours too!! I currently have a dog and he is a big part of my life. I love exercising and everyone I do cardio he joins me for my walks. He loves playing fetch so I am used to that. I also just love a pets affection and love. I constantly walk my dog, take him to the dog park (even though all he does is sit in the shade), I feed him every night and give him infinite kisses!

“Ayla is a very responsible and kind person, and we felt lucky to have her taking care of our fur family and home while we were away. She has a very calming presence, which is especially helpful as one of our dogs is quite excitable. She was also great at communicating with us and being in touch, which we appreciated. We would -- and will -- definitely have her back again!”


“Caitlyn was fantastic. Willing to meet before and was very flexible on timing and requests. My pup loved her and was very well taken care of. One of the best Rover finds out there!”


About: I have owned dogs since I was 7, ranging from small to large breeds. I have had a love for all animals all my life, and at one point considered a career as a Vet. I have been fostering the last 2 years with German Shepherd dogs as well as puppies. This company is the Sierra Nevada German Shepherd Rescue located in the el dorado hills area. I currently own a golden retriever and a rescued German shepherd/golden retriever mix, who have gotten along with all fostered dogs. I have a large backyard with a pool, and teach each dog basic commands, as well as an education as a dog groomer. There are many trails around my home, and I love to take the dogs for walks or jogs, depending on their energy levels.
“Brandie you are amazing! Mishka and Nuggy had a great time with you. The home looks better than how we left it. Loved the daily videos/picture check ins. Hope to book you again in the future!”

“Marika was an excellent dog and house sitter during a two week stay while we were abroad. She was flexible and able to adapt to interruptions such as a power outage. Communication skills were excellent! She is a compassionate and understanding person. Our sweet old girl pug was well taken care of and happy and healthy upon our return. We highly recommend Marika for your pet sitting needs.”

“Mai was quick to respond and great with our dogs. We have a large 95 lb bernedoodle that can be intimidating. She walked and fed both dogs, while we were gone for the day and sent picture updates. Will use her again!”

Caitlyn was wonderful with my 10 year old Frenchie who needed extra medical attention due to an ear infection. She was attentive to Belle’s significant emotional needs as well. The house was spotless and the bedding and towels already washed when we got home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Caitlyn!

Olivia's care for our house and pets warmed my heart. She's a remarkable and caring person and my dog and two cats were happy and healthy. The dog kept going to the window after Olivia drove away. She went the extra mile without my even asking. She communicated politely, promptly and clearly. I couldn't recommend her any more highly.
