About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate.

About: I have cared for and cherished so many animals my whole life, from puppies to senior fur-babies, big and small. Being a former mail carrier (*insert mailman being chased by dog punchline*), I befriended animals everyday on my routes, and with this I understand, and take seriously, the respect, safety, and awareness needed in becoming acquainted with new furry friends. Anything from Lhasa apso to cocker spaniel to labradoodle to pit bull and to Doberman, you name it, I’ve cared for them! I’ve spent many years administering, vet-approved, health/quality of life medications (anxiety, infections, fleas, etc.), bathing/brushing/drying, and exercising dogs. I love seniors and puppies all the same, all are welcome! It is my mission to provide ease and comfort for you, and your beloved fur-family, until you're back home with them again; all while doing something that I love :) My current schedule is open 7 days a week, from early morning, up until 8pm at night. Anything from a walk, a couple hours, or part of a day, I’ll take care of them! My home resides in a quiet suburb, and includes the following:. OUTDOOR: - Supervised backyard time (potty and play) - Tall fenced yard - Large grass area - Chlorinated swimming pool (parent permission mandatory-warm weather only-72°and up) INDOOR: - Baby gates for stair access (2 story home) - Flat or fluffy dog beds - Toys (tennis balls, soccer ball, football, frisbees, and unripped squeaky toys) - Medium and large indoor kennel - Food and water bowls - Potty pads - Treats (parent permission needed)

About: I have two Aussiedoodle puppies of my own who are near and dear to my heart. I have house sat and dog sat for more than 10 years now. I love to play with the dogs and give them all the love and attention I have. I will be sure to complete everything you have me do for the dogs or around the house. At this time, I cannot provide stay overnight in your home as I have a baby. I also work during the day, but can do many drop in visits between the hours of 5am-7am and 4pm-11pm. I have many references to provide you if you are interested in learning more. I would love to meet you and your dog prior to providing my services for you. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. Thank you for considering me to watch your furry friend. I do work during the day so I can do drop in visits between the hours of 5am-7am and 4pm-11pm. I am currently not accepting overnight care as I have a baby and I need to be here at home with him. I will let the dogs out as many times as they need. They will not stay outside for long periods of time unless you let me know that they can.

“Dominic was great with my pups, one of which is pathologically shy. A true dog whisperer. On time, personable, knowledgeable and professional and obviously someone who loves dogs and has their best interests at heart.”

About: It has been said to me that my first words as a child were ... barking! While I don't remember that, I do remember always having a connection with all furry companions. I grew up with dogs and cats and on occasion would visit my great grandparents' ranch, with horses, goats and more. I loved giving the animals snacks. More recently, I moved onto a small farm. I helped take care of over a dozen chickens and 2 turkeys; feeding, watering, cleaning the coop. My formal career experience has been in education. In addition to many childcare and classroom support jobs, I also taught public school for 5 years. In either environment, my natural tendency is using my natural empathy to provide personalized care. I am not only a sitter on Rover, but have used the service myself to board my cat before. I know what it's like to leave your baby in someone else's hands! Please communicate specifically to me so that we can rest assured all needs are met for your beloved pet(s). I will treat your furry family member like I would want mine to be treated - patiently, attentively, carefully and lovingly - and only ask that you communicate any expectations or other information clearly and thoroughly. I may ask a lot of questions to clarify, and welcome any of yours! (Además soy bilingüe ❤️) I currently update my schedule on a week-by-week basis. I work part-time as an in-home Instructor for developmentally disabled adults. This is only during weekdays. My availability will vary due to the unique schedule of that job. For example, if a client has a cold, that would be a cancellation on short notice, which would allow me to be available with Rover. So far I've had sufficient flexibility to pet sit and especially housesit in the area. I will reply to your request ASAP and we can go from there. Thank you! For this reason, I prefer to fill my schedule on a day-to-day basis, or at least weekly. I'm happy to answer any questions about specifics, so there is no confusion. Naturally, I'll provide the same consideration I'd expect from someone taking care of my home or pet. Most owners have written instructions down and that has been helpful. I tend to note things down myself, even if they're very simple, just to assure that they are not forgotten. I'll be detail oriented, focused, careful and respectful.

About: Since I was old enough to walk, animals have been a loving part of my life. Growing up in a household where pets were treated as family, taught me that every dog and cat has a unique personality and set of needs. I am particularly skilled at reinforcing consistent routines. If you are working on leash training or basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay,' I make sure to incorporate those into our walks so your progress doesn't stall. I am also experienced with senior care, understanding that sometimes a 'walk' is more about a slow sniff-around-the-block and some gentle companionship than a fast-paced walk. My professional life is uniquely flexible, which allows me to be a great anchor for an early morning walk or early afternoon walk. I am available Mon-Thurs 5am-7:30am and 3:30pm to 8:30pm. Friday, Saturday and Sundays I am available all day for those walks and check ins that are needed when errands outs are the priority. I will treat your home with the same level of respect I’d want for my own. My process is thorough: I double check that all doors are deadbolted, alarm systems are set, and water bowls are topped off before I leave. To keep you in the loop, I provide detailed Rover Cards after every visit. You’ll receive photos of our adventures, a map of our walk, and a summary of all 'business' handled. If a mess occurred while you were away, I handle the clean up thoroughly so you can come home to a fresh house and a happy, relaxed pet.

“Aichav took great care getting my little guy out for walks and sharing photos while I was out of town. So much that I’m using her again! Would definitely recommend :)”

About: Loving, Experienced Care for Your Dogs 🐾 I’ve been around dogs and caring for family dogs since I was 10 years old, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I treat my dogs like family my dog Hunter and my dog Rose is truly like my children and I would provide that same level of love, attention, and care to your dog. I’m currently available and working from home, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends depending on your scheduling needs. I have a fully vaccinated household with just myself, my husband, and our two dogs, Hunter and Rose. Hunter is a very friendly, well-behaved dog who enjoys going to the dog park almost every day. He gets along wonderfully with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities and is also very friendly with people and children. Rose is our sweet girl who is lovely, affectionate, and incredibly smart. She has a wonderful personality and is comfortable around other dogs. Both Hunter and Rose are used to being part of our everyday family life, so visiting dogs will have plenty of opportunities for companionship and socialization if they are comfortable with it. A Comfortable, Dog-Friendly Home I have a home with a private backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I **pick up after the dogs every day** to keep the yard clean and comfortable. They have elevated dog beds for relaxing, a kiddie pool filled with toys for playtime, and a backyard fan to help keep them comfortable when spending time outside. Dogs staying with us will also have **24/7 access to the inside of our home through a large doggy door**, so they can move freely between the house and backyard whenever they need to. They will be treated as part of the family and are welcome to spend as much time indoors as they want. In addition to plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day, visiting dogs will receive **at least one walk every day**, with additional activity and outdoor time depending on their individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My goal is to make every dog staying with us feel safe, loved, comfortable, and at home while their family is away. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are receiving attentive, loving care in a home environment. In addition I send pictures and videos daily to give you updates on how your doggy is doing. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because my dogs are a big part of my everyday life. I’m currently available during the week and have a flexible schedule as I work from home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, meals, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also make sure the yard is cleaned daily and that the dogs have a safe, comfortable environment to relax and play. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel loved, happy, and well cared for while their families are away. I care for pets as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, meals, and potty breaks. In my home, they have access to a safe, clean, and comfortable indoor and outdoor space. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs, I personally own three dogs and have worked with different breeds my entire life. I can handle all breeds. I am training to become a dog trainer I spend every day with dogs. My schedule is flexible and I am available most days of the week We make sure to have them in a safe environment for everyone. We can send pictures whenever you need or videos of your pup and are available for any FaceTime of them if asked.

About: Since I was in elementary school, I have always had a family dog or cat. Animals are a man’s best friend and I see my animals as my babies. I treat all animals with love, and make sure give the best care possible. I am a recent St. Mary’s college graduate. During my search for full time work, I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! When you need me I’ll be there! I currently have an indoor cat who is dog friendly! She loves to play and snuggle and will help your pets feel right at home. I also have a loving partner who is more than happy to look after my baby while I take care of yours.

“Brooke is absolutely amazing!!! we couldn’t recommend her more. From the start, she was trustworthy and professional, and we felt completely comfortable giving her a key to our home. She took incredible care of our dogs, especially Hopper, who is a big, strong boy and not always easy to handle. She walked him twice a day, made sure he was well-fed, hydrated, and exercised, and treated him with so much love, like he was her own. She also gave our smaller dog plenty of attention and affection while she was there, which meant a lot to us. What really stood out was her communication. She kept us updated consistently, sent lots of pictures, and made us feel at ease the entire time we were away. She even went above and beyond by offering to pick up dog food if we needed it, something that truly shows her level of care and dedication. Brooke is reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with that kind of warmth and love. We 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust with their pets and their home.we’ll definitely be continuing to use her for walks and care in the future.”

About: I have had pets since I was 11 years old, in fact, I was a dog and cat rescuer for many years. A true pet lover. Set your mind at ease by giving me a call so that you can leave with peace of mind that your pet will be taken care of with experience and knowledge. I have enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family for years. I would love the opportunity to meet your pet and companion. You can rest assured that your pet will be in safe hands so that you can enjoy your time off. I will feed, care and walk your pet(s) early in the morning and will return by noontime. I can also stay all weekend. I am very dependable and reliable. I currently work MWF from 9-12 PM. However, since this is only 3 hours, I am able to go back to my job as your pet sitter for the rest of the day. I lost my dog Lilli in 2021 and will get a much needed companion soon. Just a few years ago I rescued dogs and cats at the veterinary hospital that I worked with. I was the personal assistant/accountant for the hospital for over 20 years. I have learned about what types of medicine would be used for simple medical issues, what types of food for each type of nutritional need, condition and breed. I will take a pet first aid class to refresh my skills. I also have a sixth sense with animals if something is wrong or unusual. I will then contact you to make sure that you are aware as well. Good communication between the pet sitter and owner is very important. I will make sure there is fresh water always and a clean bowl. Exercise is important and play time to keep pets strong and healthy and preventing boredom. I also will keep up on medication with your instructions.

About: I volunteer at the Stockton Animal Shelter. Also, I have a Pomeranian chihuahua mix so I’m used to smaller animals. My dog is 14-16 so he’s very old and is becoming more immobile and blind. I’m used to feeding him and helping him around the house. I’m currently working part time so most I’m completely free on the weekend as well as Monday and Tuesday. Also I have plenty of time on Thursday as a half day. I’m very respectful in others space. I will be very attentive to the rules that you lay out because you know your pet best

“I don’t know what we’d do without Hans! Probably never be able to leave town again! He’s wonderful with our leash reactive anxious mess, and we came home to a dog who heeled much better than when we left!”
