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. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!
“Jessica and her family were absolutely amazing with Marley! 🐾 They treated him like one of their own from the moment he arrived. He even got to go on a car ride (which he loves!), enjoyed a few walks including a bonus third walk! and received so much love and snuggle time from the kids. It was clear he was in heaven the entire time. He came home happy, relaxed, and very calm tonight… which all the doodle moms and dads know is not the usual doodle energy level 😂 I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. We would absolutely book with Jessica and her sweet family again! 💛”

“Hi Jillian! I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks so much for taking care of Atlas. It was his first time away from us, and you did an amazing job helping him feel comfortable and at home. You were so patient and attentive, and it really meant a lot to us. We know Atlas was in the best hands with you. Thanks again for everything! Best, Wayne”

About: Hi! I have 5 years of experience walking dogs of all sizes, especially small and medium breeds. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and I make sure every walk is both fun and secure. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care throughout my day. I’m able to take dogs out for walks, provide regular potty breaks, feed them on time, and give them attention and play as needed. Because I’m home most of the day, I can closely monitor their safety, comfort, and overall well-being, making sure they get consistent care and companionship. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. I keep spaces clean, remove any potential hazards, and provide a safe, stress-free environment. I also give regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.
“Rekha is very caring and made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. He is usually timid; however, he took an immediate liking to her. She took him for a walk and gave him lots of attention. I will definitely rebook her again!”


“My Lucy received such amazing care in my absence. Wendy and AJ have such a welcoming, dog friendly home and I felt so at ease leaving my pup with them! Lucy warmed right up to Wendy! She was thoughtful and provided such good care for Lucy and I didn’t worry as I received such cute picture of her throughout the day. I give them my highest recommendation. I will definitely use them again to watch my sweet pup!!”

“My puppy came back healthy and tuckered out from playing with Denise’s pups! She sent me updates several times and was very responsive. Will definitely leave my little guy with her again!”

“Deb and JC are amazing! Pip had a fantastic time during day boarding—he was happy, well cared for, and came home content and tired. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. Their love for dogs really shows. Highly recommend!”


About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I cared for my own deaf English Bulldog for 10 years, learning how to communicate through touch, patience, and consistency. I also cared for my senior black Lab with hip issues—giving gentle massages and modifying our walks so we could still enjoy time together safely. Over the years, I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, birds, and fish, and I genuinely love being around animals of all kinds. I’m confident administering medications, tending to wounds, and giving extra care to both puppies and senior pets. Every animal is unique, and I take the time to understand their needs so they feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you’re away. When picking up or dropping off your fur baby, plan on no later than 5:00 PM Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they need. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel secure and cared for. I follow all instructions carefully—from feeding schedules to medications—and I keep your home clean and respected while you’re away. I create a calm, positive environment, paying close attention to body language and behavior to ensure your pet feels relaxed and safe. I always double-check gates, leashes, and doors, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations. You can trust that your pet will be in good hands, receiving gentle care and genuine affection every step of the way.
“Florene took amazing care of my Max. She is really awesome because she is very communicative, send me plenty of photos to help ease my stress of being away from my fur baby, clean environment, extremely friendly and highly organized, she loves to train too! I already sent another request for Max tomorrow. I highly recommend her, I can tell that she is genuine and truly loves working with pets.”


About: I have loved dogs ever since I was young! Taking care of dogs is the most fun job! I work from home and my teenage daughter loves dogs too so your dog will not be bored! Mocha is a small dog and loves to play all the time but also loves to lay around and watch tv. Your dog can either go on walks and to the park with us or lay and watch tv. Your dog will get spoiled with lots of love and attention! I do require that they are fully house trained because we have carpets. Before booking your dog's stay, we recommend a meet and greet to see if your dog likes our home and us! I will keep you updated with texts and pictures atleast once a day! Your dog will feel at home!

“Our first experience with Rover daycare services & Cynthia!!! Cynthia provided pics, videos, and updates throughout the day. We never had to wonder how our pup was doing in a different environment with new human and fur friends. We are so grateful we learned about Rover and, most importantly, Cynthia made our initial experience a wonderful one for our pup.”

“Gabrielle is a wonderful sitter . She does a wonderful job taking care of my dog. He comes home happy. I will contact her again when I need someone to take care of my Iggy.”
About: My love for animals started at a young age; always the one to bring home the stray dog. From the wild to the domestic, I am a true animal advocate. I recognize that dogs have evolved into unique and intelligent beings, deserving of the same respect as any member of the household. I strive to assure you feel at ease knowing that your beloved pet is well taken care of in a safe and secure environment. Daily pics sent via email or text are provided. A plan for your pooch's stay at my Guest House will be tailored to your dog's individual personality, behavioral patterns, and owner preferences. If your pet needs 24/7 supervision, please inquire about availability before booking your reservation. A convenient location, we have a large shaded and fenced back yard for little dogs to explore and romp. Medium-sized pooches can be accompanied on walks around the pet-friendly neighborhood. A comfy bed awaits your pup for a sound night's sleep. Recently retired, so I can devote even more time to your fury family. Frequent home check-ins or dog walks are provided in the immediate Lodi area. All pets have their own preference. When boarding at Sleepy Pooch, pets are well supervised. Frequent outdoor activity is offered in a large fenced back yard. Larger dogs can be walked daily, if desired. Your loved one can sleep in the bedroom, alone in a kennel, or with the host’s pooch if he/she prefers. For pets who prefer to stay home, your host assures security of your property when entering and exiting. A mask will be worn at all times while inside your home. I assess the situation to identify any housekeeping issues that need to be addressed to keep your pet and home safe while you are away. Any mail or packages are brought inside. Cat boxes will be thoroughly cleaned at all times. Rest assured that I will take responsibility for your pet as if he/she is one of my own family members. DOG WALKING NOTE. Please have doggy leashed and ready to pick up for their walk. If your request involves entering the home or property to retrieve and prep the dog for a walk, select “Drop-in Visit” and add a note to request a walk during the visit. —Proof of current unexpired rabies vaccination is required for all pets—
“I can’t say enough good things about Annmarie. From the moment we pull up, Beau runs straight to her door. He absolutely loves his time there, and it’s clear that Annmarie takes exceptional care of him. Knowing that Beau is in such good hands allows me to go about my day with complete peace of mind. Annmarie’s genuine love for animals and her dedication to their well-being truly shines through. Highly recommend!”

“Irina was super easy to work with and very flexible on drop off and pick up times. She took great care of my dog Mable, and sent frequent updates. Will definitely book again!”
