“Our pups love staying with Lynn! They are always so happy to see her when we drop off. She spoils them and loves them like family. We never worry when we leave them with her because they are having their own vacation too!”
“Melissa and Shaun were awesome! I’m very glad I found them so last minute and were able to take all four of my pups. They had a good layout with the kennels for boarding, in the shade and about 2-3 different dogs runs. I have a mix of large and very small pups and she was able to attend to them appropriately with the little ones separate and closely with her. Thank you again! Hope to book again soon!”
About: I have always loved being around dogs. I used to have one of my own before moving away from my parents’ house. Before moving, I taught my dog a few tricks like sitting, giving me her paw, lying down, not pulling on the leash, and staying in one place. I loved her very much and cared for her as if she were my child, so it won’t be hard for me to care for and love your dog as my own. I have always grown up around dogs, no matter their size or breed. Although I’m not a mom, I tend to have a strong maternal instinct when I’m around them. I currently am going to college and am not working any other job so I am pretty flexible on scheduling at the moment. Right now I only have afternoon classes and there is a good gap in between them where I could fit in a walk. I am also completely open on the weekend Friday through Sunday. When taking care of your pet I would make sure to be aware of how friendly your dog may be I don’t intend on having them be pretty close to other dogs as I can’t predict how nice or reactive the other dogs may be. I would make sure to have water and treats on me as well as monitor how tired your dog may be
“I highly recommend Leslie. While I was out of town, she sent me pictures of Kobi. She reassured me that he was being taken care of. She sent a video of Kobi playing with the family. I will certainly use her again.”
“Thank you to Tara. Our dog Murphy was well taken care of during his time at Tara’s house. He was treated like a member of her family. We would definitely use Tara’s services again if we need to leave Murphy behind when we go away on a trip.”
“Holly took care of my very nervous 14 year old dog Abbie for 10 days. I received multiple photos and videos updates throughout the time. Holly patiently worked with Abbie, helping her to get over her fears. I now say my Abbie has two mommies! I recommend Holly without reservation. Your dog will be well taken care of while you are away.”
“Amazing Service!! I needed boarding for my dog Honey VERY last minute and Jessica was happy to help! She did a great job at caring for my girl and even sending photos of my dog throughout the time she was there, which I really appreciated. I would definitely rebook with her!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I recently graduated from Chico state and currently have two dogs of my own a 6 year old toy poodle and a 5 months old border collie mix. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your dog or cat with someone else. That’s why I do my best to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get cuddles, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work part time at Bath & Body Works and usually only have 2–3 shifts a week, so my schedule is very flexible. When I’m not working, I’m home spending time with my own dogs. This allows me to be available for different drop-off and pick-up times and gives me plenty of time to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like they’re one of my own. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets get lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal routine and help them feel right at home.
“Deena was great with my dogs she was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Greatly appreciate the photos and updates! The dogs had a great yard to run in with lots of toys. Highly recommend Deena for your pet sitting needs! Thank you!!”
“This was Beau’s first stay with Forest. He took Beau for long walks a few times a day, and he provided daily updates with photos. Forest treated our pup as if he were his own, and his home is well-suited for dogs. We would definitely use Forest again for our future boarding needs. Thank you!”
“Lesly was great with our Dog JJ. He was apparently very comfortable at her place and got lots of attention. She even Texted us several photos of him and he didn’t show any symptoms of separation anxiety, that we were worried about. Great Sitter!”
“Our girls had a wonderful time with Yesenia again! She was very accommodating with our schedule and we were very comfortable knowing she was watching our dogs. We will continue to use her in the future!”
About: Cats are my favorites creatures on this planet and I've been caring for them so long its second nature In 2016 i began my journey of dog love when i met my first dog soulmate skyley who was a black and white rat terrier.

About: I have helped out w my friends pets, both dogs & cats throughout the years, I have worked w young & adult animals. With my flexible schedule, I can care for animals per their specific needs. My schedule is flexible since my daily job is a hairdresser, so I can adjust my schedule to fit in needs for each animal individually. I have a small fenced in yard at my home, would prefer to do in clients home, since most animals are more comfortable with that.

“Kassandra did an awesome job taking care of my cat Nala while I was away camping for 4 days! They were super responsive, communicative, and provided great updates. Nala seemed happy with their company, and I could tell Nala was well taken care of. They went above and beyond to ensure Nala's comfort and happiness. I feel lucky to have found them on Rover and I'll work with Kassandra again in the future. 10/10 - Would recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for seniors, puppies, post surgeries, mischievous kitties and extra needy pets of all kinds ☺️ years of working with horses, living with my anxious chihuahua mix, and helping to raise the chunky pitties in my life has prepared me for almost every situation. I’ll keep a cool head and stick to your instructions while showering lots of love on your furry family member. I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and birds! My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’m always the one getting distracted by a cute dog on the sidewalk (or TikTok). I’ve had great experiences booking care for my own dog through Rover, and I understand how hard it can be to find and trust the right person when we have to be away from them! My hope is that we can work together and create the best plan for keeping your furry kids happy and safe. I keep communication open and often so that we are all comfortable and on the same page. I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.
About: While I don’t have cats of my own, I regularly take care of my mom’s cat when she’s out of town. I have helped her find a litter that works well for her, as well as replace harmful treats with ones that “make her fur softer than ever”. I recently met two cats who were polar opposites and I was lucky enough to be greeted by the one who never says hi to strangers :)
About: Cat Care Experience 🐾 I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities—from playful kittens full of curiosity to calm, senior cats who just want a cozy companion and a clean space to relax. I understand that cats thrive on consistency and respect for their boundaries, so I always take time to build trust and create a peaceful, stress-free environment. I’m experienced in administering medications, monitoring appetite and hydration, and keeping litter boxes spotless (because I know how much cats appreciate a clean space!). Whether your cat loves playtime, quiet cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I tailor my care to meet their needs. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, gentle approach, and genuine love for feline companionship. I treat every cat as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less. 🐱💛
“Elise did a fantastic job watching our elderly, very particular dog. He normally is very scared of strangers, and will sometimes not go outside for walks with sitters. Elise did a great job of gaining his trust and getting him out! She was very accommodating, and on time.”
About: Ive taken care of pets since I was 7. Ive been around all types of dogs and have learned to understand their needs and your needs!

About: Fun Fact: all of my childhood cats used the toilet Lover of all shapes sizes breeds. Comfortable with high levels of reactivity, even more comfortable with high levels of cuddles. I am studying child development at Chico state, I work at a retirement home, and I dog/cat/baby/house sit. I have always had my own cats. I raised a husky from rescue 🩷 I have experience in all sorts of care, and services. Keeping the house tidy is my specialty. Patience and love is all you need, and maybe a treat. Cuddles are mandatory. Keep that water bowl filled!! Getting energy out with a long walk, or throwing a ball.
“Kay is wonderful! Super communicative, kind, and trustworthy. Best compliment for a pet sitter is when the pet is barely excited to see their owner when they return because they were so well loved, and my cat had obviously been given great care and attention from Kay and was totally normal and regulated when we got home. Thanks so much for everything, Kay!!! Toaster and we appreciate you!!”

I live on a quiet property surrounded by orchards in Gridley with a big fenced yard that dogs love. My boyfriend is in law enforcement and between the two of us there’s almost always someone home. We have two friendly dogs (yellow lab and queensland heeler) and two kids who love animals and will happily play and give your pup of love. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and part of the family while you’re away! As a dog mom myself I know how important this is! Your pup will be part of a pretty active and dog friendly household. Between my schedule and my boyfriend who works in law enforcement, someone is usually around the house most of the day. We also have two friendly dogs and two kids who absolutely love animals, so visiting pups get plenty of love and attention. We live on a quiet property in Gridley surrounded by orchards with a large fully fenced backyard that gives dogs plenty of space to run and explore. I always keep an eye on dogs when they’re outside. As a dog mom myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone new. I send lots of photo updates so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Thank you, Tylyn! So happy Stella was safe and happy with you during my class. Tylyn responded quickly and accommodated my last minute booking. Received status pics during the day which I always appreciate. Highly recommend!!”
“Kena sends updates throughout the day with pictures which is so nice. She was very flexible keeping him for a bit longer than I had planned and my dog basically ran into her arms each morning so I know he had a great time.”
“Holly has been an amazing sitter for our Goldendoodle. Our dog tends to be high-strung but she is totally relaxed with Holly and enjoys going on walks. It didn't take our dog long to feel comfortable with Holly. We are really happy with her service.”
“Lynn was amazing! She went way above and beyond my expectation. I'm extremely protective of my pups and was worried about leaving them, but once I met Lynn and saw how she was with my little guys and with her own "babies", and how secure her yard was, I felt completely at ease and comfortable leaving them in her care. I didn't bring their food with me because we weren't leaving them overnight and they won't eat when we're not there. She made them chicken! which of course they ate right up. This woman LOVES dogs. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”

I am currently working part time in the morning. I will be available after 2 pm. To walk, feed, play and give your pup lots of company!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with dogs who have special needs, specifically, neurological disorders requiring medication administration. I’ve spent the last two years training my dog, Bubba, through separation anxiety and reactive aggression. He went from chasing cats to occasionally taking naps with them. My first dog, Lilly, was reactive to dogs and when I brought home Bubba as a puppy, my family called him “snack” because they didn’t think it was possible, but she immediately took him in and they were inseparable for 7 years! I’ve always been gifted at reading animals - humans, not so much. I will always advocate for those who can’t advocate for themselves :) I’m available every day, whenever you need! I recently quit my job and needed a fun way to get a little extra cash before moving to the PNW! Unfortunately, my dog is an anti-social introvert and doesn’t like visitors. His house, his rules… However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet inside of your home!

“Melissa and Shaun were awesome! I’m very glad I found them so last minute and were able to take all four of my pups. They had a good layout with the kennels for boarding, in the shade and about 2-3 different dogs runs. I have a mix of large and very small pups and she was able to attend to them appropriately with the little ones separate and closely with her. Thank you again! Hope to book again soon!”
About: I have always loved being around dogs. I used to have one of my own before moving away from my parents’ house. Before moving, I taught my dog a few tricks like sitting, giving me her paw, lying down, not pulling on the leash, and staying in one place. I loved her very much and cared for her as if she were my child, so it won’t be hard for me to care for and love your dog as my own. I have always grown up around dogs, no matter their size or breed. Although I’m not a mom, I tend to have a strong maternal instinct when I’m around them. I currently am going to college and am not working any other job so I am pretty flexible on scheduling at the moment. Right now I only have afternoon classes and there is a good gap in between them where I could fit in a walk. I am also completely open on the weekend Friday through Sunday. When taking care of your pet I would make sure to be aware of how friendly your dog may be I don’t intend on having them be pretty close to other dogs as I can’t predict how nice or reactive the other dogs may be. I would make sure to have water and treats on me as well as monitor how tired your dog may be
“Holly took care of my very nervous 14 year old dog Abbie for 10 days. I received multiple photos and videos updates throughout the time. Holly patiently worked with Abbie, helping her to get over her fears. I now say my Abbie has two mommies! I recommend Holly without reservation. Your dog will be well taken care of while you are away.”
“Amazing Service!! I needed boarding for my dog Honey VERY last minute and Jessica was happy to help! She did a great job at caring for my girl and even sending photos of my dog throughout the time she was there, which I really appreciated. I would definitely rebook with her!”
“This was Beau’s first stay with Forest. He took Beau for long walks a few times a day, and he provided daily updates with photos. Forest treated our pup as if he were his own, and his home is well-suited for dogs. We would definitely use Forest again for our future boarding needs. Thank you!”
