About: I love DOGS! I have grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes! Much like some of our dogs, I also get a little mischievous when I get left home alone too long, so let my extra energy benefit you! I am happy to run your dog until they are completely tuckered out, or take a little jaunt around the block to keep our senior pets moving and grooving! Whatever you and your pets may need, I am happy to accommodate! Currently working part-time and studying to become a yoga instructor! I have a very open schedule and can be very flexible to suit your family's needs! Animal safety is always a top priority. Happy to send photos or videos of your pet during our visit so that you can relax knowing your pet and I have having a great time together!
“Kerstin is wonderful! She stayed with our two pups and kept us updated while we were away, and went above and beyond by coming back to check in on our girls and feed them when our flight connections failed and our homecoming was delayed. My husband and I are grateful she looked after our dogs so well, she made us all feel like family.”

“Jazmin was great! She kept our house clean, followed all instructions, and even helped give our dog eye drops when it wasn’t in the initial instructions. Our animals were very happy with her! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos of our babies!”

“Dustin came in the clutch super last minute and made it work for a quick overnight. It was the first time I left my babies with someone that I didn’t know personally. He sent all the pictures and updates I could have asked for. He was reassuring that my dogs aren’t monsters. I can’t even tell someone else was in my home. Easy to communicate with, punctual, dogs seem happy and I am very pleased with Dustin. Will absolutely book again, hopefully with more notice next time. Thank you!!”

“Elly was safe and happy while we were gone. We got pics daily. She was happy when we got home. Mel saved us because we had another sitter cancel last minute so she was a BIG help!”

“Sabrina was wonderful! She was very organized, communicative, and always on time. We felt completely comfortable having her in our home, and she even left it cleaner than when we left. She sent photos and videos that gave us peace of mind and showed how well our pets were being cared for. Leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, but with Sabrina we had no concerns at all. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“I’ve never felt so comfortable and anxiety free leaving my beloved animals while on a trip. So grateful for her wonderful care, clear and detailed communication, and the ease all around.”

“Joel is an excellent dog sitter! My dogs are my family and I usually worry about them when I'm away from home, but I feel totally at ease when Joel is with them. He takes consistent, thoughtful care of them, and it's clear in the pictures he takes that the dogs are having a blast.”

“Absolutely wonderful! My girl was so well loved, cared for, took her ok so many walks and adventures and was such a great communicator. Thank you Janessa for being amazing!”

“Our pit bull rescue can be a bit intimidating, but Bari was ready and open to house sitting. She did a wonderful job: punctual, kind and always in contact with us about our pup. And our dog loved her too! We will definite ask her to watch our dog and house again!”

“Holly has pet sit for us on several occasions now. She’s always so communicative and attentive, and our pets love her! We can always leave town with full confidence that our pets are so loved and cared for when Holly is around— she’s so patient and thorough with our elderly dog and all of his supplements in particular. Thank you, Holly!”


About: I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, starting in childhood on a farm and continuing throughout my life. Caring for animals has always been a core part of who I am, not just something I do. I have extensive experience with dogs and cats. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including pets with more medicine needs. I work with animals of all sizes and dispositions. I am very experienced with medication administration, including oral medications, subcutaneous injections in cats, injections in dogs, and specialty medications such as cancer treatments, which I administer carefully and safely using proper protective equipment. I am also familiar with veterinary care routines and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I am known for being gentle, patient, observant, and calm, even in challenging situations. I have significant experience caring for senior pets, animals with medical needs, and cats with strong personalities or aggression. I respect animals’ boundaries, read their body language closely, and know when to give space and when to confidently stand my ground so everyone stays safe and comfortable. What truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I love getting to know each animal as an individual, learning their routines, preferences, and quirks, and interacting with them in the way that works best for them. I take pride in making animals feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for while their humans are away. I’m trustworthy, attentive, and fully present when I’m with your pets. I will likely give them silly nicknames and may even sing to them, but above all, I will treat them with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own animals. I work from home, which means my schedule is very flexible, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Because I’m not tied to a rigid office schedule, I’m able to plan my days around pet visits, routines, and any special care needs rather than trying to fit them in between other commitments. I’m proud to be one of the go-to pet sitters in my Sacramento community, and I take that trust seriously. When I commit to caring for pets, they receive my full attention, not rushed or distracted care. I’m able to reliably maintain feeding schedules, administer medications, provide enrichment and companionship, and keep up with daily care tasks that help pets feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important consistency, calm, and reliability are for pets when their people are away. My flexible schedule allows me to spend quality time with each pet, observe their behavior closely, and notice any changes early. I communicate clearly and provide thoughtful updates so pet parents can feel confident and at ease while they’re gone. Pet sitting isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule. It’s something I intentionally make space for. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and am excited to continue offering dependable, attentive, and compassionate pet care to my community. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is centered on safety, consistency, and respect for each pet’s routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, preferences, and any special care instructions so their environment feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow established feeding schedules, medication instructions, and care routines carefully, and I’m experienced administering a wide range of medications when needed. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall comfort, and I address any concerns promptly and thoughtfully. I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, litter boxes, food storage, and any household safety considerations. I respect pets’ boundaries and personalities, and I interact with them in the way that works best for them, whether that’s active engagement, gentle companionship, or giving them space while still keeping a close eye on their well-being. Communication is very important to me. I provide regular updates, including photos, so pet parents can see that their pets are comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m responsive, transparent, and proactive with communication, which helps owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Above all, I care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. I take the responsibility seriously and treat every pet and home with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own.
“Abreena was a great sitter. She gave me regular updates about Mae and followed all of her care instructions. I got home and my apartment was in perfect condition. I’ll definitely use Abreena again!”

“Lai was amazing! My dog had so much fun with her and her kids. She texted me pictures and updates frequently and felt really good about leaving my dog in her care. Thank you so much!!!”

“Brittany did a fantastic job of taking care of my two dogs. This was the first time I’d ever left them with someone who is not family. She really set my worries at ease with lots of pictures and videos. Brittany left my home well cared for and perfectly clean.”

South East pet parents share their Rover experiences
Been working with Alice for about 2 months now. She’s been a huge help! She has been doing weekly drop in visits with my pup, in preparation for a trip I had planned, I wanted him to be comfortable with her when the time came. I just returned from my trip and she sent my photos everyday and checked in/ gave updates. She left the house clean and tidy. My dog and I appreciate her so much and I am so thankful I found someone to help out so I can enjoy vacations 🙂 thank you so so much Alice!!!

Anicia cared for my puppy, Elsie, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As a young puppy who is still in training and struggling with separation anxiety, Elsie isn’t always the easiest, but Anicia handled everything with such patience, warmth, and professionalism. It was my first time leaving Elsie with anyone, and Anicia gave me genuine peace of mind (a rare gift). And when plans shifted, she stepped in to save the day. She was incredibly communicative, responsible, and attentive. She was also thoughtful about sticking to Elsie’s training and routine, and reached out when a question came up, which I really appreciated. And importantly, Elsie absolutely adored her (and her husband!), and it was clear she felt safe and cared for. I will absolutely be booking with Anicia again -- she’s a lovely human and an exceptional caregiver.

I’ve used rover many times before, Maria not only left me reassured on our pet meet up before the booking but also during booking. She listened to all of my elder dogs needs, my baby is 14 years of age and leaving her for a week was definitely nerve wracking since here eyes are already grey. She would send me updates on my pets, my dog doesn’t get along with many people or pets but she allowed Maria to get near her and even napped together. She truly is Angel and HIGHLY recommend!

I appreciated that Tammi agreed to a Meet and Greet with my dogs before she stayed with them. She was very accommodating to their needs and let my dog take his time to warm up to her, as he can be shy. I felt like she was a good communicator with asking any questions about the house and caring for my boys. She left my home neat and tidy. I will definitely request her services again.

Isabella was great in every way. Easy and enjoyable to communicate with, responsible, and really wonderful with my cats, one of which has special needs, and the other that is very, very shy. She was able to give the special needs cat her meds--which I was worried wouldn't be possible for anyone but me--and she even managed to get the shy one out for a little playtime. She sent me lots of updates along the way and left the house looking spotless. I am grateful to have found her!
Jill was amazing with our rowdy, very much still in training high energy pup Canela! Jill was so responsive and personable and sent amazing updates of Canela going on walks and runs and just getting out to enjoy her doggy life while we were away for the day. This was a pretty last-minute ask and Jill came through with the quickness. We really appreciated her and her ability to stay calm with Canela through Canela’s over-excitement of meeting someone new. Thank you Jill, and highly recommend her as a sitter here off Rover!

Abreena gave our big dogs so much love and attention while we were gone and had no trouble walking a big German shepherd and husky mix at the same time. We can tell they were happy and our house was tidy just as we left it. We appreciate Abreena's communication and photos so much! We will be using her for our next trip too!

I cannot recommend Kelli and her family enough! They went above and beyond while staying at our home and taking care of our four dogs (all different ages, different temperaments and needs). Kelli is a great communicator, sent us lots of updates and pictures, and has a natural way with dogs. One of our puppies can be high strung and doesn’t always listen, but was very responsive to Kelli. My husband and I returned to a very clean home and to our calm and happy four dogs. It was almost like they didn’t even notice us being gone haha. Kelli even washed out sheets and towels, which we never expected or asked for!!! This time we were gone for 3 nights and are looking forward to our soon upcoming trip abroad of 16 days. We both are relieved to have found somebody like Kelli and her family and could not ask for better dos sitters. HIGHEST recommendations!!
