“Achara was wonderful with our dog. He had a great time running, chasing, and playing with her dogs. Achara was great about sending pictures and updates. We are already planning the next time our dog can stay with her!”



“Megan and her family were absolutely fantastic with Shay over the weekend! I really appreciated how communicative Megan was, sending regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease. It's clear they treated Shay like one of their own, and I could tell Shay was happy and well-cared for. I plan to rebook with Megan for my next trip – highly recommend!”


“Coryn took such great care of my dog. She kept me updated with photos and messages. Tobby looked so happy and relaxed with her. I really appreciate her kindness and professionalism.”


“It was my puppy’s first time with a sitter and Kesson and Hiromi were so kind in answering all my questions and sent lots of pictures/videos. I have another stay booked with them :)”


“My two large dogs spent a night with Leora and she did a great job looking over them. She also took the time to do a meet and greet with the dogs prior to confirming the booking. Great experience!”


“This was Bristol’s first overnight boarding, and Alayna went above and beyond to make the experience as smooth as possible. She met with us in person beforehand to ensure that Bristol and Jake could get to know each other, which made the transition much easier. Alayna is incredibly considerate and maintained clear, consistent communication throughout the entire process. Her warm and attentive approach gave us peace of mind and made Bristol’s stay truly comfortable.”


“I’d give Karolina 6 stars if I could! The whole process from meet and greet to the end of our trip went very well. She kept us updated with pictures while we were gone. Most importantly, our dog is happy and healthy and was well loved.”


About: Hello there, I take caring exceptional care of animals seriously. I made it my whole job lol! I am attuned to ensuring every animal is taken care of emotionally, mentally and physically. I have 13 years of experience in both Western and Eastern medicine for large and small animals. I know how important it is to make sure your animal is having the best time with their sitter and that they look forward to it! I am an animal communicator and facilitate quantum energy healing sessions for animals as my life purpose. My schedule is flexible. Taking care of my animals is my daily life. I have managed ranches with dog care, horse boarding and a therapeutic equine program for children. Years later I am still living my passion for keeping animals happy and healthy. Walks: I provide the best walks for pups around their neighborhood. If your pup enjoys a sweet pal, I have my trustworthy and gentle dog Gracie to them to bond with! Day Care: Your animal enjoys spending quality time with an empathetic care taker and fun walks with Gracie. For kitties: Your cat will have a safe and fun place to adventure around while receiving lots of love!

About: I am back!! I was taking a year off to focus on my current job employment that I am returning :) Animals are truly a human's best friend. When I received my first dog, Barkley, I truly understood what that meant. He was my world, my best friend. I would do anything and everything for him, even sneak a piece of banana for him for being cute. One of Barkley's favorite things to do was being outside and walking. He taught me so much about myself, that I would love to share Barkley's and my passion for dog-sitting for other dogs and cats in our community. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved being surrounded by animals: teaching them new tricks, going on walks, or simply snuggling up on the couch. When I was younger, I would love to read dog training books and teach my family dogs simple tricks. As I have gotten older, neighbors and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and stay overnight with their animals. I would play with each dog, go on long walks, and even give the occasional ear scratches. I am also a volunteer at the SPCA kitten nursery for about three and a half years now. Most of my experience has been working with younger cats, ranging from 2-20 weeks. With the experience that I have had with my dog and previous clients, I can understand a pets' body language and behavior. I know that a stranger coming to any animal's home can be scary for some of them to understand. I want every pet to feel comfortable, so I will take my time to make any animal feel that they can trust me. I typically like to listen from my client on how their animal handles strangers, that way, I can make the best plan of action to make them comfortable. I make sure to make time for each animal that I am taking care for. If I see that I can't take care of an animal due to my schedule, I will make sure to let you know. I will always communicate with my clients about my schedule if something changes and what my availability looks like. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to taking care of your animal. I am spatially aware of my surroundings, and always make sure that where I am going or doing is going to be safe for the animal. Before I leave for walks, I make sure that I create a plan for where I am walking and the safest spots are to walk. I always make sure I have my checklist of everything that I need for the walk or need to do while I am at your home. I am also very communicative and responsible when it comes to the instructions, requests, and tasks that my clients have given me.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles! Old or young I’ve done it all! Grooming, medication, no worries for me! During my time in the military I also had training with military K-9’s! So if you have a slightly more aggressive dog that may worry you for scheduling a pet sitter, I’m your guy! M-W-F (Overnight or late Evening) T-Th (Late Evening) Sat-Sun (Anytime) Please do let me at least 1-Day in advance prior to cancellation for adjustments, Thanks! I have a completely closed off section that my little babies have for their own pleasure and comfort, no interactions between them and your pet!

“Daniela was fantastic!! My little pup had another dog lunge at and bite him the morning we went to her so he was very sensitive. She was amazing (as was her whole family) with him. Gouda also loves their dog and was so happy there overnight. She provides so many updates which calmed my nerves. Thank you so much!”


“Thank you so much to Ann for her great care of our 10 year old pup Rocky! Ann was quick to respond and provided updates each day my wife and I were away from our dog. It is always difficult when we drop Rocky right before a trip and so we were extra grateful that he was in her care! The photos we received during his stay were so cute and we were impressed he was getting along with the other dogs during his stay with Ann! When we picked him Ann even gave us a photo colleague of Rocky during his start with her which was so adorable. Lastly, My wife and I were very impressed she was able to be creative when it came to ensuring our dog drank plenty of water; he sometimes does not drink enough water and her caring nature made sure he remained hydrated especially in the hot Davis summer days. Would recommend to other Rover users to book with Ann- you will not be disappointed 07182021.”


“Sunny took good care of our dog for 3 days and was good with communication and timeliness. College students' non-smoking house shared with her brother and another roommate. Has an unfenced pool in the backyard so only able to run in the yard if someone was outside with him. She took him for neighborhood walks. He seemed happy and well cared for when we picked him up.”


About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Raised on a farm and on a pre-vet track from a young age, I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds—from house pets to livestock to wildlife. Starting at 14, I volunteered in local vet clinics and wildlife rehab centers, gaining hands-on experience with everything from cats and dogs to peacocks, horses, goats, snakes, fish, birds, and cattle. At UC Davis, I deepened my care skills while working at the world-renowned Vet Hospital, tending to cats and dogs during the swing shift. I also worked with campus goats, pigs, sheep, fish, cattle, and horses—and even fostered cats for the hospital. Now in my 30s, I’m an education professional and dedicated pet mom to both cats and dogs. I continue to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets with the same compassion, attention, and responsibility that’s guided me my whole life. I’m certified in Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid, and have emergency care experience with animals large and small. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always communicate clearly—your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm currently taking a break from teaching, and being a full-time stay-at-home mama to my 2.5 year old daughter. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. Please note that at this time, we are seeking families whose pets are comfortable around toddlers and children. I have a fully fenced yard, and a park just around the corner from my house for those whose furry friends enjoy a stretch, walk, or playtime! I am comfortable using a crate, and we have plenty of floor room in the house (carpet and laminate) for them to lay down if they're not crate trained. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Cats are allowed to wander the house. We are more than happy to put up child gates to keep your furry family member in certain areas of the house if they're prone to getting into things (such as stuffed animals for the kiddos... I mean really, a lot of doggie toys these days look so similar! I'd understand the misconception. lol) We're not afraid to be firm but kind if your family member needs set boundaries.
