“Sara was very responsive to my pup's needs, and arrived on time to pick her up. I was told she used her "magic" to quiet the other dogs at my place that were barking at her. I was provided with pictures regularly of my happy pup and updates as to how she was doing while boarded. I would recommend Sara and would definitely use her services again.”


“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”

“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”

“Our dog can be very sad when we leave him. But Michelle found a way to connect, and we felt so much more at ease while we were away, knowing he was in great hands. She provided many photos and videos to reassure us that he was doing great.”

“For our pup’s first Rover stay we couldn’t ask for anyone better than Sharon. Our doggy can be a worry wart and pretty anxious, but she seemed to handle him with ease and gave him all the attention he needs. She sent us pictures everyday which was super helpful and sweet. Sharon will definitely be our go-to for future bookings! Thank you Sharon!”


“Shannon took such wonderful care of Pepper during her stay. From the moment I felt at ease knowing she was in a safe, loving and attentive environment. This was Pepper’s first long time stay with Shannon and she created a comfortable, and caring environment for Pepper. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages, photos and videos. This made me at ease too seeing Pepper relaxed, content and getting plenty of attention. When I picked up Pepper, she was her happy self which tells me she received good quality care. I am so grateful for Shannon’s kindness and her love for animals. Pepper will definitely be staying with her again. Thank you Shannon for taking good care of Pepper and treating her like your own.”

“Alexa is an angel! We have two dogs whom are used to being with my husband and I 24/7 because we both work remotely. We are very selective in who we have watch our boys while we are gone (typically family or friends would come to our home and stay with them)… but we moved from Southern to Northern California so need to figure out an alternative. After searching Rover I came across Alexa’s profile and read each review and she stood out as someone that could be a good fit for my boys. I reached out and was immediately impressed with Alexa’s responsiveness, and decided to proceed with an introduction. It couldn’t have gone better. Alexa had clearly studied my dogs profiles to get familiar with the basic needs of each and I appreciated the questions she asked to understand their normal routine. Within just a short time of drop off, Alexa sent an update with pictures which allowed us to see that they were making themselves right at home and enjoying play time and snuggles. My Boys looked relaxed, content, and exercised. I’ll definitely book with Alexa again!”

“If I could leave 6 stars, I would. Amy and Justin were amazing watching my dog Chubbs for over a week. They have a great yard for dogs and dog bed all around their house - it is basically a resort for the doggos. The end of each day they sent over a bunch of photos with a recap of the day. I don’t think Chubbs wanted to leave!”

“Walee was one of the best dog sitters we have ever had! We think our terrier Sunny had a better time than we did…Walee sent us lots of wonderful photos of our Sunny playing with her dog and her son. Sunny came home exhausted from so much fun! We will definitely use her again. It was great knowing our pup was so well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We are so grateful for her.”

“Sara and her husband were awesome, they took care of my 2 husky’s. They came home very happy, thank you it made my trip easier to know my dogs were happy. I didn’t think I needed updates but they sent me updates and it made all the difference. Linda”


“I would give more stars if I could! Patti and Joe are wonderful and so caring. We received pictures and videos every day of our sweet girl. They went for walks every day and lots of playtime with their dog Buttons.”

About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”

“Lainey loved her stay with Amanda! Amanda sent me lots of photos and kept in good communication. She took our dog out on walks and did lots of outside time with her. She was also flexible with pickup time for us!”

“Ruchi and Nitin are absolutely amazing! They took care of our two boys for an entire week, and I couldn’t have asked for better sitters. Every single day, I received photos and videos without even having to ask. You can truly feel their love for animals in everything they do. Ruchi even went the extra mile and cooked rice for our picky eater, Hulu, which got him to finally finish his kibble. It honestly felt like a vacation for our dogs. They got along wonderfully with Ruchi and Nitin’s pups, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in caring hands. We even got a fun ChatGPT cartoon of one of our dogs during the stay. Their rates are also reasonable. Highly recommend this kind, thoughtful couple to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitters.”

“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”

“Barbara and family was very kind and welcoming to my dog. She asked all the questions that made me feel like my girl was going to be well taken care of even to the extent of switching her sleeping habits to my dog’s. I highly recommend! Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”

“Debbie is the best!! We recently lost our long time dog sitter and were anxious about leaving our senior dog with GI issues and anxiety with someone new while we left town for a few days with limited cell service. Lila didn’t even want to come home when we picked her up!! She was very comfortable with Lila’s needs, sent us updates and was flexible on pickup time. I’ve used a lot of dog sitters in my time and she is one of the best!! So competent, communicative and a true animal lover. Thank you Debbie!!”

“Teri was fantastic! She went above and beyond trying to coax our timid cat out from under the bed. Everything was well taken care of and very timely. She was on top of everything and responded to communications very promptly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”

“First and best experience with doggy day care! Sara is amazing - so amazing Sugar acted as if I was a stranger. Sugar had so much fun she was tired and napping away when I picked her up. She was definitely showing me some attitude when leaving Sara’s; I’m sure Sugar wanted me to continue working for another 8+ hours. Sugar and I both highly recommend!”

About: I have loved animals my whole life and have had many pets; dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, sheep and more. I thoroughly enjoy being with animals, loving and caring for them. Some of my first jobs were at animal clinics, where I learned a lot about caring for animals. I was in FFA as a youth, where I raised and showed sheep, and where I also learned a lot. In my younger years I had many horses. I learned how to care for them, feeding, exercising, and cleaning up after them, etc! I learned responsibility, in addition to a deep love of animals. All of my experiences with my own animals, have made me a knowledgeable, responsible and compassionate animal care provider. I am currently semi-retired from working in the hospitality industry. I have plenty of time and I would thoroughly enjoy taking care of your beloved pets. I have an adorable mini schnauzer, Dudley, and a domestic short hair cat, Pete. I love them both so much and get so much enjoyment out of having and caring for them. We love cuddling, talking, and playing. I make sure they have the food, treats, exercise and attention they desire, and are well taken care of and will treat yours with the same love and respect that I show to my own pets.
About: I have always had dogs/animals. We have 5 dogs of our own. We also foster with a local rescue. We specialize in the squish face breeds. We completely understand climate control. We love to exercise outside and go out often to romp. I am currently working remote part of the time (office days are Tues/Thurs). We typically always have someone home and the dogs are likely never alone for more than a 2-3 hour period. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play! We do not have a fenced yard, so our preference would be dogs that are not a flight risk! We can use a flexi leash for potty breaks but that would limit outside play for our guests. We live on 2.5 acres with a lot of grass to romp and play. Our dogs do not go outside unless supervised.
About: I have been a full-time puppy whelper for the past 8 years and come highly recommended with lots of references. I welcome all different breeds. I am always home. While I do have to pick up and drop off my children for their various sports and activities, it’s just a five minute drive away.I am always available. Plus, I’m attending school online from the comfort of my home. I live on 1 1/2 acres with a mini horse, two small goats that like to visit the neighbors and two potbelly pigs. Additionally I have two older French bulldogs who are house trained and very friendly, as well as two cane corsos who get along well with all animals including pony,goats, and pigs- they’re all pals! All of my animals are well-behaved , and I’ve often been told I should’ve been a vet or a dog trainer because of my love for animals. I have two separate backyards-one for the smaller dogs and one for the bigger ones. However I’m accustomed to rotating them due to my experience as a whelper. I know how to manage introducing new dogs and keeping them separate if needed.My dogs have access to indoors and outdoors, and they sleep in the house at night. I’ve set up set up my garage to be cozy and welcoming for dogs to stay in at night.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was my childhood cat, who I got when I was 2 years old and who lived with me for 17 wonderful years before crossing the rainbow bridge. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and a passion for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. I currently have two Dobermans and a kitty of my own. I recently moved to a 2 acre property, which has been amazing for training and working with my dogs, they’re truly thriving with the space and lifestyle they deserve. To me, pets are family, and I always strive to give them the best care, attention, and love possible. I’ve also rescued and fostered kittens in need, helping them find safe and loving forever homes. Caring for animals genuinely brings me happiness, and having them in my life has always been incredibly fulfilling. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I already care for my own animals every day. At my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also have spacious fenced in kennels available if needed for safety, rest time, or individual comfort. Pets are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and cared for in a clean, calm environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines, instructions, and house rules to help pets feel comfortable and stress free in their familiar environment. I like to check in with pet parents often, sending pictures and updates to give them peace of mind while their pets are in my care.
“Elaine did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my two dogs! Her communication was excellent throughout, keeping me updated with adorable pictures that showed just how much fun they were having. I could tell they were well cared for, and they came home happy and tired from all the playtime. Highly recommend Elaine for anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter! 🐶✨”

“We had to find a sitter for one day for Issa, our German Shepard. We were able to drop her off early and pick her up the same day. Elisabeth made the arrangements very accommodating. Our puppy played in the water and seemed to have had great day. We would love to have her watch Issa again.”

“Alexa provided such a wonderful Rover experience. She's a great communicator, very attuned to a pet's care instructions, and I came back to find my pup so relaxed and happy with her. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with her, thank you Alexa!”

About: Served as a volunteer and foster parent for many rescued animals in Bali during the pandemic. My experience with animals is vast. Ive grown up with many different kinds of pets. Cats. Dogs. Birds. Reptiles. Rodents. Chickens. ducks. Donkeys. Horses. Pigs. Goats. You name it. I love all animals. I was raised in the foothills in the redwood forest. I’m a very down to earth and healthy lifestyle human who just loves fur babies of all types. I’m attentive and loving and playful with animals. I really need it as much as they do. I work early in the mornings off around 9am and then have most of the day to myself. It’s nice to have an excuse to take a dog on a walk or to lounge around with some kitty cuddles. Having animals in my home makes it feel more like a home. In my own home I will be in close proximity at all times and I will be home the entire time so I can sense when potty breaks or walks are needed. I really enjoy taking walks myself so it’s a perfect fit to have dogs over. Cats are similar with the exception of walks unless you want to leash train them or already have. I love to keep an eye on them so they don’t hurt themselves and I give lots of play time.
About: Your pups new bestie! I have had animals most of my life growing up since childhood and was raised with how to properly care for them. I also have a dog that I love so much! I thoroughly enjoy walks, runs, hikes, and playing with him. I am a big dog person! I currently work part time and am home most of the time. I’m usually home a lot as most of my work can be done from home. The flexibility is very nice and works perfectly with having dogs in our home! We currently have our own dog and so caring for yours will fit naturally into the flow we already have going! I have a fenced yard, where my pup and yours can play as much as they want! We have trails and parks near by for walks and runs, if you’d like for your pup to have exercise in those ways as well.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years — ever since I was 12! What started as helping friends, family, and neighbors has grown into 5 years of professional pet sitting experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. I’m very active and love taking pups on long walks or hikes to keep them happy and healthy! I recently graduated from UCLA and am currently back home completing my graduate program pre-requirements. I also play for the Sierra College Women’s Basketball team, which means I’m at practice for about three hours on weekday afternoons. I’m a great fit for pups who are comfortable being alone for a few hours during that time — outside of practice, my full attention goes to caring for your dog and keeping them happy and on routine! When providing in-home care, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I prioritize safety at all times and make sure your home is secure during my stay. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m happy to reinforce any training or specific care instructions you provide.
About: I have taken care of personal, friends, family, and strangers animals since I was about 8! I had animals in the 4H and FFA and have dealt with numerous species including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, reptiles, and all livestock. I have also had my own of numerous since I was a small child. I currently have a part time job and am available most days of the week! I am also an online full time student at Sierra College! I have a large fenced yard of over 10 acres and 4 other kenneled friendly babies that could come out and play! I would only let out one at a time as I don’t want your pup getting too overwhelmed! We have a nice neighborhood to take walks through and so many things to see!
“I found the perfect family-style petsitter for my repeat visits to Cameron Park. Irina is a loving mom to her family of 2 and 4-legged kiddos as well as the pets that come for a short stay in her home. She was a wonderful communicator before and during my dog's stay. The photos she sent showed my Corgi was truly happy at Irina's place. I enjoyed talking to Irina about her positive experiences using Rover as a provider and I shared my success with finding a Rover pet sitter near my home in Aizona and now a sitter for a frequent destination in California. I highly recommend Irina and Rover.”

We also have a year round creek that runs through the back of our house where the dogs love playing in the water. Lots of chew toys, balls, treats and beds are included too! Your pup will sleep inside with us either on a bed, the floor, or if they are kennel trained, we can provide those as well. We provide daily texts, videos, and photos so you can have comfort knowing that your pup is safe and happy 😊 We look forward to meeting you! My husband and I work as a team and are both recently retired. We are home all day with the dogs and make sure they are happy and safe. :) We also are available for dog walking, drop in visits, and staying in your home to care for your pups during your absence. We take them all for daily walks, playtime, or just relaxing in a peaceful environment. We have two very friendly dogs they can play with or just hang out together. We feed them all two times per day unless otherwise needed. We want your fur babies to feel comfortable while you are away so we are compassionate to their needs. They all sleep indoors at night. We send daily pictures and updates on how they are doing throughout the day. Lots of love and kisses in this house!

About: Hi! I’m Tarron — lifelong animal lover, rescue director, and experienced handler with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs and many other animals including cats, ducks, goats, bunnies. I’m the Executive Director of a nonprofit animal rescue and have extensive experience with: * rescue and anxious dogs * senior dogs * puppies * medication administration * decompression and slow introductions * leash handling and structured walks * dogs recovering from surgery/injury * reactive or fearful dogs I understand that every dog is different and I always prioritize safety, patience, structure, and making dogs feel comfortable and secure. Because I have animals of my own and run a rescue, I currently focus on: * drop-in visits * dog walking * medication visits * structured enrichment walks * pet transport/help with vet visits I’m especially comfortable with dogs that may need a little extra understanding or experience beyond a typical pet sitter/walker. Reliable, communicative, calm, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. I currently work as a program manger for adults with special needs, and manage a small team of individuals. Mornings and evening are best. As well as Tuesdays, and weekends. I do not provide pet care in my own home at this time, but I will gladly come to yours and spend time with your fur babies!
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up being surrounded by animals and they have always been a huge part of my life. I had my English Springer Spaniel, Beau, for 13 years and just recently adopted a Bearded Collie/Golden Lab mix puppy. I also have my two 6 year cats, Rupert and Carl. I am the manager of a winery but have a pretty flexible schedule-especially in the evenings. I'm off work on Mondays and Fridays and am able to leave work early, if necessary. I'm also available in the early morning before 10am. Since I have three animals of my own, and to not upset their environment, it would be best for me to go to clients' homes to feed and take care of their animals.
About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a little kid. From volunteering at animal shelters and walking dogs, to house and dog-sitting for neighbors and family friends, to taking in my neighbor’s old dog Yogi, I have a lifetime of experience with animals. Dogs just bring me the kind of joy that nothing else in life can provide. My main priority is to maintain whatever training or habits your pup is used to make sure they are comfortable and happy in my care. I work from home with a flexible schedule and will happily take your pup out on walks multiple times a day. I also have a beautiful and safe fenced yard for them to play and sniff around in. Just across the street from my house are miles of beautiful forested trails that are always empty, so you can ensure your pup will get plenty of outdoors time. I also have an enclosed patio attached to my office that your pup can lounge on within eyesight while I’m working for some fresh air and sunshine :) I have a pet-free household, so no need to worry about other animals bugging your pup. I also love the outdoors and will take any excuse I can to go on walks, that means your pup will be well exercised (if needed). My home has a beautiful large backyard with trees and a creek, with one fenced yard perfect for off-leash play. At your home, I will make sure to be respectful and cater to the needs of your pup. My goal is to maintain all of your dog’s current habits and training to ensure they have a wonderful and relaxing time away from home or at your home while you’re away.

“Sara was very responsive to my pup's needs, and arrived on time to pick her up. I was told she used her "magic" to quiet the other dogs at my place that were barking at her. I was provided with pictures regularly of my happy pup and updates as to how she was doing while boarded. I would recommend Sara and would definitely use her services again.”


“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”

“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”

“Our dog can be very sad when we leave him. But Michelle found a way to connect, and we felt so much more at ease while we were away, knowing he was in great hands. She provided many photos and videos to reassure us that he was doing great.”

“For our pup’s first Rover stay we couldn’t ask for anyone better than Sharon. Our doggy can be a worry wart and pretty anxious, but she seemed to handle him with ease and gave him all the attention he needs. She sent us pictures everyday which was super helpful and sweet. Sharon will definitely be our go-to for future bookings! Thank you Sharon!”

“Alexa is an angel! We have two dogs whom are used to being with my husband and I 24/7 because we both work remotely. We are very selective in who we have watch our boys while we are gone (typically family or friends would come to our home and stay with them)… but we moved from Southern to Northern California so need to figure out an alternative. After searching Rover I came across Alexa’s profile and read each review and she stood out as someone that could be a good fit for my boys. I reached out and was immediately impressed with Alexa’s responsiveness, and decided to proceed with an introduction. It couldn’t have gone better. Alexa had clearly studied my dogs profiles to get familiar with the basic needs of each and I appreciated the questions she asked to understand their normal routine. Within just a short time of drop off, Alexa sent an update with pictures which allowed us to see that they were making themselves right at home and enjoying play time and snuggles. My Boys looked relaxed, content, and exercised. I’ll definitely book with Alexa again!”

“If I could leave 6 stars, I would. Amy and Justin were amazing watching my dog Chubbs for over a week. They have a great yard for dogs and dog bed all around their house - it is basically a resort for the doggos. The end of each day they sent over a bunch of photos with a recap of the day. I don’t think Chubbs wanted to leave!”

“Walee was one of the best dog sitters we have ever had! We think our terrier Sunny had a better time than we did…Walee sent us lots of wonderful photos of our Sunny playing with her dog and her son. Sunny came home exhausted from so much fun! We will definitely use her again. It was great knowing our pup was so well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We are so grateful for her.”

“Sara and her husband were awesome, they took care of my 2 husky’s. They came home very happy, thank you it made my trip easier to know my dogs were happy. I didn’t think I needed updates but they sent me updates and it made all the difference. Linda”

About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”

“Lainey loved her stay with Amanda! Amanda sent me lots of photos and kept in good communication. She took our dog out on walks and did lots of outside time with her. She was also flexible with pickup time for us!”

“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”

“Debbie is the best!! We recently lost our long time dog sitter and were anxious about leaving our senior dog with GI issues and anxiety with someone new while we left town for a few days with limited cell service. Lila didn’t even want to come home when we picked her up!! She was very comfortable with Lila’s needs, sent us updates and was flexible on pickup time. I’ve used a lot of dog sitters in my time and she is one of the best!! So competent, communicative and a true animal lover. Thank you Debbie!!”
