“Dustin took such great care of our aging dog - even sending regular photo updates! He also left our home clean and tidy. We will definitely book with him again.”

“Emily was great. She was very communicative of everything that was going on with Taji while I was away. She also kept the house in great shape. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Keishla is great. My pup loves her and even with an injury, she gave Rocco lots of love and exercise. She was great about sending updates, pictures, and responding. She took great care of my home too.”

“We had a great experience working with Jazmin! She stayed in our home for two nights, treated our house with great respect and left everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, she truly loved our pups. She sent us frequent photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind and she even surprised the pups with pup cups as a special treat 🐶❤️ We could tell our dogs were happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her!”

About: In my younger years I was known as that house you could trust your pets with, which sadly led to less boarding and daycare services and more abandonment of pets on my doorstep. I accepted each surrender because I always figured better here with me then on the streets. After successfully adopting out all these love bugs to people I knew and trusted over the years, I've found myself in smaller quarters. I've found comfort and fulfillment in caring for outdoor cats (commonly referred to as strays) Taking in an orange Tabby to call my own in the process. I've made friends with neighbors who share the same love and passion and through these connections found community - a cat community! I currently care for three cats (siblings), house-sitting as well while their human parents are away. Each individual cat has it's different wants/needs. Through these experiences I've learned gaining trust and love is different for each individual feline. I'm looking to expand my care/services to neighboring cat families mainly because I love cats and know how important it is to have a community of cat folks in your corner when duty, vacation or emergencies call. I'm currently employed by Uber Eats so I make my own schedule. I'm open to weekend care as well. The only thing I do religiously is cultural dancing on Wednesday nights. My current clients are all indoor kitties so I am used to securing the household, feeding on a schedule throughout the day and doing enrichment with them be that play or individual love and cuddle time. I prepare meals specific to each cats needs, keep litterboxes and surrounding areas clean and keeping water stations fresh.
“Janessa did a fantastic job watching my cat and house while I was away. She sent regular photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind knowing everything was being well cared for. My cat was happy and relaxed when I returned, and the house was just as I left it. I would definitely hire Janessa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Carolyn is fantastic. Can't recommend her enough. One of our dogs was recovering from an injury requiring 3x day medication and wound cleaning during the 5 night house/dog sitting. His healing progressed well under Carolyn's care. Even our vet surgeon was impressed with how much his healing progressed at his check-up 3 days after my return. What a relief to be on a work trip and know my dogs were in such good hands. The daily texts and pictures were lovely. Carolyn even taught our small dog to be more confident going in/out of the dog door and stop slipping through the gate to bark at the back door!”
“Melinda was a great pet and house sitter! Our Malamute and two cats all have special dietary restrictions and multiple medications, and she took such wonderful care of them while we were away. We loved the daily pictures and updates she would send. She also made sure the house was nice and clean for us when we got back from our long trip. Thank you Melinda!”
“Brandon did a great job watching Tito! He was reliable and attentive, and Tito really liked him right away. I felt totally at ease and would definitely trust him again. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

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!
“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.”

“Bari was wonderful! We felt totally secure leaving our dogs and cat with Bari. She was communicative, helpful, and all-around awesome. Would definitely recommend her. Thank you, Bari!”

“Alma did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies. She was on time to check on them and feed them. And let them out for their potty breaks. Definitely would use her again. Highly recommend Frankie & Kahula say Thank you 🐾🐾 until next time.”
“Elisa took on a last-minute housesitting booking and did such a great job! She was so loving with my pup and gave her lots of exercise. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative overall, followed the instructions I left perfectly, and left the house very clean. I will absolutely plan on booking her again, including for drop-ins. Thank you Elisa!”

I would definitely hire Janessa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Really can’t say enough great things about Katelyn!! She cared for our dogs as if they were her own, and left our house absolutely immaculate. She absolutely went above & beyond. Great communication & responsiveness, and it’s clear she’s a real animal lover! We will certainly ask her to care for our dogs again and recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter. 🤗
Laura has been the most flexible, understanding, and easiest sitter - my boys love when she stops by. She texts and sends photos, which brings peace of mind at work. I haven’t found the right person to help ever since I moved back to Sacramento, so I’m lucky she and I connected. Trust me y’all, shes the one! Thank you Laura ✨

Jacob was awesome. I needed a dog sitter for two large retrievers for a short out of town trip. Jacob was available and we set up a time to meet. Jacob was prompt and very professional. I was very comfortable with having him stay at my home with the dogs. During his stay, he was very communicative and sent lots of photographs. He didn’t mind my constant checking in from afar. My neighbors gave him their nod of approval. He treated my dogs like they were his own and that was much appreciated. They were very spoiled while under Jacob’s care. I would highly recommend Jacob. You won’t be disappointed. I look forward to having him return for future dog sitting.

Four stars all the way . Mel was so great ! We never used Rover before this time and I was a little worried. But meeting Mel and seeing how well she took care of our 11 year old Opie , I will only use Mel from here on out . Opie seems to really like her and she gave us updates the whole three days. She even cleaned and washed her towels . You can’t ask for a better pet sitter . Thank you so much Mel ! We really are happy we picked you . Michelle and Opie

Camilla watched my dog Patsy for a couple of nights while I was away for a wedding. I felt very comfortable leaving Patsy in her care and that’s not an easy thing to do as she is an old girl and reactive while on walks towards other dogs so leaving her always makes me nervous. Right away Camilla was very friendly and warm towards Patsy and I could tell Patsy liked her right away! Camilla sent me regular updates which I appreciated and helped me be able to relax while traveling. When I got home Patsy was clearly well cared for and my house was as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Camilla again in the future and I’d recommend her to anyone who may need pet care in the future!

Abby is absolutely phenomenal! She is responsible and checks in whenever she has questions. We have had her housesit for our two dogs on several occasions and she is our go to sitter when needed. We appreciate her kindhearted, respectful and responsible care!
