“Mary did a fantastic job caring for our pups! One of our pups developed a problem with his leg before our trip; Mary handled him expertly allowing him to heal. Upon our return, our dogs were happy and healthy. I highly recommend Mary for conscientious and loving care of pets!”

“Carissa did an amazing job caring for our dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She sent regular updates and pics and videos. I didn’t worry one bit while we were gone. She had hands full since he of our dogs is still a puppy and she handled everything so well. We will definitely have her stay with our fur babies again. Thank you, Carissa!!”

“OMG I cannot say enough good things about Emma. My babies loved her instantly. She sent me many photos and texts and even asked if she could do more things to help me while I was gone. We will be calling Emma back for every vacation. Oh one of my babies also got a foxtail stuck ( we have many on our property still! and she noticed right away and took her to the vet for me.”

“We are very picky with our pet sitter since our pets need a little bit of more attention than usual. Charlene was fantastic. She sent regular updates and even picked up our cat’s meds at the vet. Our kids ( we call them kids) were happy and looking healthy when we got home. The house was clean and organized, which is great. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking a great sitter. We will definitely book her again.”

“Trevor was great. He is an amazing dog sitter and an amazing house guest. He did a meet and greet a few weeks before to meet Murphy which was nice. Murphy instantly liked him (and Murphy can be particular). He sent pictures of the dogs playing and was very communicative. We will definitely use Trevor again.”

About: I’ve trained my German Shepherd from puppyhood, cared for senior large dogs with patience and skill, and successfully trained a small-to-medium puppy for another family. I spend each day surrounded by my dog, two cats, and parakeet, giving them consistent care, attention, and love. I’m passionate about animals and make their well-being, enrichment, and comfort a natural part of my daily routine. I care for pets in their home by following all routines, keeping their environment safe, and providing constant, attentive supervision. I ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well-loved while you’re away.

“Aariah was amazing! She was supposed to watch my pooch for 3 days, but when a different dog sitter backed out, Aariah made herself available to watch him for 5 days. She took him on lots of walks, and my dog was a happy pup when I got home. Would definitely recommend Aariah for dog sitting and dog walking! :)”

“Danielle is the perfect house sitter. She took perfect care of my dog, Ruger, keeping me updated with regular pictures and videos. She was also extremely respectful of my home, leaving it very clean. If I need to travel again, I will absolutely reach out to Danielle for her support, I can’t recommend highly enough.”

About: I am a local pet sitter here in Murphys, CA. I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life. I have several years of pet sitting experience. It all started with a coworker asking me to watch her lovely Golden Retriever, and by word of mouth my clientele grew! It brings me much joy and gratification caring for and spoiling people's pets while they are away. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pet(s) soon! :) I work full-time locally in Murphys, CA . My schedule is Mon through Thurs 7:30 AM to 5:15 PM with a lunch hour from 1 to 2 PM. Typically during the work week I can either so a small walk or some playtime and feed pets their breakfast before I leave for work. If the job is close enough I can stop by on my lunch and do potty breaks or playtime. After work I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them to get their energy out. :) I typically stay in the client's home with their pets, but that all depends on their preference. I can also do walks and drop in visits.

About: Hello! I’ve been house/pet sitting for around 5 years now. I have experience with a variety of animals at all stages of life. I will follow your directions to the letter and care for your babies as if they were my own. I have had pets since I was five until recently. I currently am looking to add clients for pet care. Let’s chat and see if we mesh! I currently do gigs, mostly pet sitting, right now for income. So thats where my focus is these days! I take daily walks and would be sure to bring your baby with me! I am getting into grooming to add as a service to my clients. Currently I do not have any pets myself. My parents do have a dog and when I am there I take him out for walks and runs, brush him, love on him. I would follow your directions as to how to care for the baby animals.

About: I am a born and raised farm girl. I have taken care of all kinds of animals especially dogs and cats. I love to take them on walks around the neighborhood. I have a lot of experience in general care and would love to meet and care for your fur babies. I am currently a part-time student and work mainly online so I will have plenty of time to be with your pets and spend quality time playing/exercising. I have friendly fur babies here at home that would love to play with yours. I do happen to have one dog who isn't as friendly but he is always crated when other dogs are around so there is no worries in your pets getting hurt here. I assure you that they will get the best care and love here.

About: Whenever I get asked if I would choose cats or dogs I always say, it depends on the personality! I love all animals and getting to know their quirks and what makes them unique! Just like their personality I understand care specific to their needs are important. I’ve grown up taking care of various neighbors’ animals and loving the experience of taking animals on walks, feedings, baths, deep clean of their home, and just simply playing with them. I am pretty flexible for this month Sunday-Thursday anytime after 2pm. I have just finished volunteering in Australia and have some time off before I work on a Dairy Farm in Vermont! I also return to the area June-December 2026 and would be happy to create consistency in your pet’s life. I am a very direct communicator and appreciate clear instructions. Pet care includes: feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles, cleaning up after them. For any special needs or medication that needs to be clearly listed out and communicated. As for house care, I will respect the rules of your home as communicated and do my best to keep your home secure and tidy to how I found it.

“Tabi, Mia and Sadie let us know that Shuree took excellent care of our dogs for 7 days. She stayed with them and fed and medicated them. She took them for a walk and kept them safe. She was very responsive to my questions and sent cute photos of them. We will use her services again and can recommend her to others.”

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

About: I have had pets all my life...birds, cats, hamsters, mice, fish, turtles & more. I bred & raised several of the small breeds mentioned here. I got pretty heavy into breeding Pomeranians for the most part. Then one day I met & fell in love with my first toy poodle. I named her Precious. I have been hooked ever since. I learned how to train dogs about 20 years ago. I have been doing it ever since. My two poodles I taught to do tricks. What else should I do with a 3 1/2 lb doggy? I have had quite some experience giving different kinds of medicines to dogs. So I feel pretty comfortable handling that task. I have taken care of many owners' pets in the past but that was before I have ever heard of Rover. I am home a lot, and only gone on doctor appointment days. I am available most weekends and most holidays. I only leave for the big ones like Christmas and Thanksgiving. As a rule, I am pretty flexible. I live in a house with a fenced deck and fenced yard. There is stairs to my garden. Ask more, if this concerns you. My 2 friendly toy poodles get plenty of exercise running up and down the stairs to the deck and among my beautiful garden. There are several very close areas to walk dogs within 5 minutes driving of my house. Also, we have a dog park 10 min away. Here's a PLUS....I literally live 30 min from the northern gate entrance to Yosemite National Park, (our 3rd National Park). So, if you plan a trip to hit the snow, hike to its many waterfalls, bike or take a nice relaxing float down the lazy class 2 Merced River in Yosemite......contact ME. You can't take dogs on these ventures...

About: I have had many years of housesitting experience with came with caring for pets. I have also worked at a pet store and handled bathing dogs. I am free weekdays and weekends and am open to staying at a home for multiple days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I will be attending class 9:40 a.m. to 2:25 p.m. I have a friendly dog, a kitten and two outdoor cats as well as a fenced yard with tons of dog toys, treats and a small kennel. I make sure any hazardous things such as cleaning products and other harmful substances are out of the pet’s way and give frequent potty breaks. I take into account their feeding schedule and any medicine they may need.

“Autumn did a great job. Nicky, Misty and Cooper were plenty happy and relaxed when we got home. The house was in the shape that we left it, and hopefully Autumn enjoyed her time at the house with our babies. We would definitely ask her back.”
