“Anna was fantastic and took such good care of my dog, Bean. He's not the easiest dog in his old age, so I'm so grateful to her.”

“Ben was amazing sitter for our Gucci. She had a lot of fun with him and gladly didn’t miss us while we were out of city. Ben is very friendly, Gucci loved him right away and we also received regular updates from him. Would definitely ask Ben to sit with Gucci again! :)”

“Amazing as always!! I couldn’t recommend Carrington enough for any service you might need. She stayed at our house while we went out of town for a week and kept in constant communication with us the entire time, not to mention the amazing photos she takes!! Our house was so clean when we got home and it was such a relief to know we could trust our pups were in good hands while we were away!”

“Cydney was amazing! Right away on coming in the dog settled right in to being comfortable with her and calming down from there somebody’s at the door alert. She was both attentive to the request and instruction we left and also shared her knowledge about Dogs as well, understanding even different tendencies of different breeds… Which is really helpful since we had one 80 pound rescue who’s ancestors are guard dogs and 8 pound little dog as well. She really gave all of her attention during the weekend to the dogs and their needs. I’m looking forward to having her come again.”

“Jordan was absolutely awesome!! I had to take a week long trip to visit my in laws for the holiday season and it always makes me nervous finding a good sitter for Archie, my 13 year old senior dog. Jordan was nothing short of phenomenal! I work from home and Archie is used to me being home a lot so Jordan shifted his schedule around to make sure that he was able to stay at my home as much as possible. He was super communicative throughout his entire stay, constantly kept me in the loop of things, and gave me lots of updates. Another thing I really appreciated was how punctual he was! I have had other sitters who took care of Archie and did just fine, but I really feel like Jordan went above and beyond. I told Jordan about cougars in the area and Jordan was extra careful to make sure that Archie was safe and secure in the home. The entire trip I had zero concern knowing that Archie was so well taken care of. Jordan cares about animals and it shows, and he also cares about his clients. I came home to a house that seemed even cleaner than before I left! Jordan is super kind, reliable, and trustworthy. He is the kind of sitter you want - especially if you have to take a trip for an extended period of time. I will 100% book with him again and recommend his services.”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am 52 years old and began walking my neighbors' dogs and housesitting for friends. When I lost my soulmate Layla after 14 years, I found a big void in my life. Being around animal energy is so fulfilling for me. This is when I decided to offer my love to others fur babies. I feel an immediate connection when meeting my new friends, I look forward to meeting your loved ones! I recently moved to Lake Wildwood from Martinez where I had built up quite a clientele. I work remotely which gives me ample flexibility for play time, potty breaks, cuddles and exercise. I love having company when working. I am told I am a wonderful houseguest as I have so much respect and honor the responsibilities of being a guest in your home. I will leave your home exactly as you left it. I work in the Fitness Industry so your pup is in good hands whether they need a short stroll or a long hike!

About: Animals in my care are given lots of love and snuggles, clean food and water, mental and physical exercise, and a cozy bed near a human! I have taken care of many dogs for friends, family, and clients. Your pup will have a wonderful time staying at our farm on 1 fenced-off acre with another very friendly dog, Teddy Bear Tom. We have a large sturdy kennel in the garage upon the client's request. We prefer to have your fur baby with either myself, my husband, or my teenage daughter. Thanks for choosing us to take care of your precious pup! I am a full-time care provider for dogs of all ages. Your fur baby will never be left alone except when I take my potty break or prepare a meal. I supervise and actively play with the fur babies that I am taking care of. We have nap time together as well. Fur babies can play as much as they want outside as weather permits. They can snuggle inside the house if that's what they want to do. I am very in tune with and attentive to the needs and emotions of animals. Reading facial expressions and animal body language is a skill I have acquired. :) I have a tall fenced backyard as well as a large fenced dog run. I have two friendly dogs that your fur baby can play with. Your fur baby will have separate sleeping quarters (from my dogs) which have A/C, heat, a big bed, water bowls, and a sound machine. Potty Breaks and Outdoor time are as often as you prefer and as much as the weather permits. If your doggo is more comfortable relaxing inside, that's okay too!

“Kay did a wonderful job with my nervous and needy dogs. She sent me lots of pictures and discussed any possible needs. I have used rover sitter before and have loved them and the service but I believe Kay to be the best! Here knowledge and love of dogs put me at ease!”

“Virginia was fantastic. We had a meet and greet before we left and she was wonderful with our dog. We got daily updates with photos and video while we were away and it was obvious she really cared. She absolutely put our minds at ease while we were away.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I walk a malamute and husky a lot. I pet sit for smaller dogs too. I love walking dogs because it’s a good exercise for them I’m currently looking for a job so I have a lot of time to hangout and play with your animals and to care for them When walking dogs I walk them for an hour and I always bring water to make sure they get the water they need and don’t overheat

“Tori was great! And I am so grateful I have such a trustworthy and capable person to call on to manage my 100+ pound (beloved) boy, and 14-pound grouchy old lady. :-)”

Matthew R.

“I was very happy with Secret. She followed every instruction I left and even send me updates on how the dogs were doing. She is excellent at communicating and the best part she sent me a picture of my fur babies while I was gone. I would use her again.”

About: Since I was a young child, I have been fond of pets, and as an adult, my affection for them has only increased. I'm passionate about getting to know the many kinds of animals. Throughout the years, I have offered to help, taken care of family and friends' pets, and loved my own pets. My availability is open. I am available to stay overnight and can visit your pets in the early morning ☀️ and late at night 🌙. When handling frightened or shy animals I try to maintain a sense of calm and patience. Because they are sensitive to change and can be missing their family members. I try to keep my lovely Sasha😽 on the same schedule. Give her healthy, food that is high in nutrients. Give her Access to Clean Water. Give her a Warm and Caring Home. Whenever she needs to Answer Nature's Call she always has a well maintains litter box to go too . I always try to find fun toys for her to keep her occupied while I work.

“Kimberly was excellent! She took great care of our dogs and birds. She also respected our home and house rules. Definitely recommend her ?”

About: I have a deep love for animals and a strong sense of responsibility when it comes to caring for both pets and homes. My background in farming, permaculture, and sustainable living has given me years of hands-on experience working closely with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, chickens, goats, alpaca and more. I understand the importance of attentive, compassionate care and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your animals and home are in good hands. I’m also a fisheries biologist with NOAA, where I’ve worked on protecting and understanding wildlife in marine ecosystems. That scientific background, combined with my grounded lifestyle and respect for nature, makes me a calm, reliable presence in any environment. I enjoy house sitting because it allows me to support others while spending time in peaceful, nurturing spaces—caring for animals, tending to gardens, and making sure everything runs smoothly while you're away. It's meaningful work that aligns with my values of stewardship, trust, and living in harmony with animals and the land. I'm an online student so am available to be at home most of the day with your animals. I pet sit often in the Grass Valley/ Nevada City area. I take dogs on daily walks, give them plenty of treats and pets, play fetch, make sure they always have water, and am happy to adapt to their routine.
