“Doh is an excellent sitter. We left our dog Bailey for the first time with a stranger but Doh was nothing but great to him, she sent us pictures and we were so happy that he got to play with other canine friends”
“Our dog, Zeus, stayed for his first time with Nelly and seemed to really enjoy it. He was happy and heathy and came home with the same fun and loving personality he's known for. Big thanks to Nelly for the cute pics during his stay too.”
“Serena and Wes are absolutely outstanding! We had to find a sitter in this area for our wedding and immediately knew that they would be the best choice. They were so thorough and thoughtful at our meet and greet. We instantly knew our pup would be safe and well loved with them. Throughout Finn’s stay with them, they constantly checked in with us. It was clear from pictures and videos that he was having the absolute best time. We are so so grateful to them for loving our boy in our absence. Could not recommend them more!”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our dog Chewy received. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being. Chewy was feeling down and wasn’t eating much, which had us worried. Not only did she keep us updated with regular photos and messages, but she also went the extra mile by asking if she could cook him some liver to mix with his food to help encourage him to eat. Thanks to her kindness and attentiveness, Chewy perked up by the third day—he was running around and playing again! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We felt like she treated Chewy as if he were her own dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
“I'm so glad to have found Julie to watch our dog. She went far beyond expectations in caring for Millie, who looked wonderful at the end of her stay. I would recommend Julie to anyone who wants their dog well treated while away from home.”
“Best ever! We have a special needs dog, a rescue who had been abused and attacked by other dogs and they treated her so well she felt at home from day 1. We are so thankful for everything. We got pictures, she borrowed a jacket when it was cold and rainy and she went on long walks. Best experience ever!”
“Ann is the BEST!! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my pups for more than a day; I was sooo nervous!! But Ann made me and my pups feel so comfortable right from the intro meeting!! I have an older Chiweenie who was abused and doesn't do well with people and new situations...Ann showed me pictures daily and was very responsive each time I reached out. My baby was getting pets, and sitting right beside her!! She knew her medical issue the moment i mentioned it. My other baby, a teacup Pom is very clingy, and and needs walking every day. Had pictures daily of her sitting on the doggy bed or getting attention. Now, at home, she's a little less clingy!! Ann is 5 stars!!”
“Martha was great with Bagel during his 5 night stay. He loved playing with her dog Benji's toys and had so kuch fun. I could tell from the pictures that she shared. I would definitely book Martha again. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“Michelle and Craig were wonderful taking care of our two dogs. Craig was so kind and scheduled an alarm in the middle of the night so that our elderly dog Suzy wouldn’t have to use a pad to relieve herself. What great care they took of our pups! Highly recommended”
“Ingrid and her fur babies really were wonderful to my Sadie. She loved the company. I received pictures and a video. I will definitely book with Ingrid again. Thank you, Jackie”
“Harry and Thomas have the perfect yard and home for boarding. The did an excellent job with my Chloe, they kept me updated and sent lots of pics! I will definitely use them again for boarding. 😊🐶”
“It was our first experience leaving our puppy with a sitter. And everything was great, Wyne sent pictures and updates every day and our dog didn’t look stressed when we picked her up after 7 days. Wyne’s place is clean with a good backyard for energy run off.”
“Coryn was an amazing host! We had to leave our sweet dog while away for 7 days and it couldn’t have gone any more perfect. She was on top of communication and keeping us updated with pictures. Leia had a blast, well taken care of and enough space available for Leia to be comfortable.”
“Adilene and Rhoda took such great care of our Frenchie, Whiskey. He always has a wonderful time with them, and we appreciate how attentive and loving they are. They keep us updated with photos and messages, and we know he’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Geisel was wonderful with Milo. She was accommodating and professional. I really appreciated all the cute photos. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Our first time using Rover and what a great experience it has been. Jeniffer was awesome with our Zoe. We initially did a meet and greet and zoe loved her and her two dogs ?. We had photo updates everyday and our dog had a blast playing with other dogs at her backyard pool and dog walks were great. We definitely recommend her and would be rebooking again. Thanks Jeniffer for taking good care of Zoe.”
“Danielle was a fantastic host. She is a good communicator, very accommodating and overall just a delightful person. Cersei felt 100% comfortable staying with Danielle and had fun playing with her own pups as well.”
“My 9 month shepherd husky pup stayed with Lydia for the weekend. Lydia has an extremely organized setup for the dogs she cares for. She welcomed Ziggy with confidence and warmth, and sent me photo updates throughout Ziggy’s stay showing Ziggy boding with the other dogs and relaxing in her home. I already have Ziggy booked for multiple stays over the summer, and it feels great to know that she will be well cared for. I highly recommend Lydia!”

“Doh took excellent care of my cats including getting emergency medical attention when one fell ill. I have complete trust in her judgment and confidence in her dedication to the cats and my home. She has great attention to detail and communication skills.”
“Mel was great with our cats! She sent great pictures and videos and provided us with detailed updates about the pets' behavior while we were away. I especially liked that she spent a good amount of time playing with all 4, plus she gave us some ideas to improve our dinner time routine! Overall very pleased with her pet sitting.”
“Joining Rover and meeting Audrey has changed our life. We struggle to find someone consistent to come into our home feed our fish and bring the mail in. Audrey was amazing. She arrived when she said she would. She took the best photos ever and kept us updated and in communication along the way. She even went above and beyond; watering some plants, bringing in the mail, bringing in the packages, feeding the outside birds and communicating on fish tank water levels. I highly recommend Audrey and we will definitely be using her every time we go on vacation from here forward. She was so sweet. She even left us a goodie care package that we received when we got home.”
“Jalisa was absolutely fantastic! She took such good care of Lilo while I was away. She was very reliable, communicative, and was available on such short notice! Jalisa kept me updated and provided photos that put my mind at ease. Lilo warmed up to her right away, which speaks volumes about her gentle nature. I came home to a happy, healthy kitty and a tidy house. Thank you Jalisa!!!”
“Laura took excellent care of my cat Ziggy while I was away for about a week. She made sure to send lots of photos and I can really tell she took the time to get to know his personality and gave him extra attention when she was here. I would definitely use her services again and would recommend her for any future pet sitting.”
About: Greetings! I grew up in a home that could only be described as “animal-enthusiast central”—dogs, cats, the occasional parakeet, even a mouse or two. Caring for animals has quite literally been a lifelong habit, not just a job. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pets of all temperaments and breeds (honestly, I haven’t met one I didn’t love). I’ve also volunteered with Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary, which deepened my understanding of animal behavior and care. I’m comfortable with: • Administering medications • Multi-pet households • Special routines and quirks • Keeping your home in order (mail, trash bins, etc.) I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own—reliable, attentive, and always tuned in to what your pet needs to feel safe and happy. Because I currently have a few stray cats who’ve decided my yard is their forever home, I’m offering in-home care only—overnights, drop-ins, or custom schedules that fit your needs. If you’re looking for someone experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being, I’d love to connect. Let’s set up a meet & greet and make sure it’s the perfect fit—for you and your pets 🐶🐱 Pretty open to all requests and try to accommodate for last minute scenarios. I retired semi early so my schedule is fairly adaptable to all. Former 5-star sitter here, making my grand return to Rover after a brief (and not-so-passionate) detour into another career. Turns out, nothing compares to caring for animals—so I’m back doing what I genuinely love.

About: I’ve loved cats and dogs and I’ve been around them my whole life. I’ve raised and trained three dogs, including one who is a certified pet therapy dog. I also worked for a year as a cat handler at a cat cafe, taking care of over a dozen cats including kittens as young as four months old. I’m good with people but even better with pets! I’m a recent college graduate with a flexible and open schedule. I have my own car and I’m happy to help with short term or long term care of your pets. I’ve had years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I can be active or lazy depending on their needs. I’m happy to help take care of your pets however is best.
About: From growing up on a dairy farm to city living, I’ve had pets my whole life and know just how important they are. I can help crate train your puppy and teach them other simple skills. I’m happy to administer medicine if needed and will take dogs for walks, or even go for a jog if they’re up for it. I can’t wait to have a great time with your furry family members and send you too many cute photos! I currently work from home during the week and am off on weekends, so can pet sit, dog walk or check-in generally anytime of the week Unfortunately, I am unable to board pets in my home at this time. If I am in your home, I will make sure to listen to any instructions that you may provide and not overstep any boundaries. I will make sure to collect general information about your pet, likes and dislikes, along with the best way to reach you and an emergency contact.
“Best sitter! So glad I found her, she’s great with my two cats, and I can tell. She really cares about her job, and showing love to my pets. Highly recommend.”
“Martha did an excellent job caring for our two cats. This was the longest we had been away but the photos and daily updates definitely put our minds at ease. Our cats clearly felt comfortable with Martha and she even got our shy cat Jefferson to come out of hiding!”
“Erika was absolutely wonderful and accommodating! I would highly recommend her for any nervous pet parents (like us) in the Sacramento area. I loved her status updates and the cats warmed up to her quickly :)”
“Did a great job giving insulin shots to two of my cats; one of them being extremely skittish. It was awesome being able to go away for a few days and to know someone was able to take care of them while I was gone. Thank you!”
About: I'm a foster fail! Please let me explain. During the pandemic, my daughter convinced me to take a feral kitten off the streets, and I ended up with a sibling, too! I told myself, this is only temporary until things get better and I can find them permanent homes. Five years later and I cannot imagine my life without them. One is a cuddle bug, the other the classic "give me attention only on my terms only" type of cat, and I love and care for them equally. I keep their litter boxes spotless (morning and night) and feed them appropriate, quality food. While they’re both indoor cats, they have plenty to do here, and my adventurous one enjoys some time outside on a leash or in her enclosed play pen and tunnel. I share this because it reflects my approach to all animals: meeting their needs, respecting their boundaries, and providing safe, loving care. I recommend that your cats stay in their familiar environment, as introducing them to a new home can cause stress and behavioral changes. If you want a sitter who will treat your cats with the same care and respect, I’m your person! Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for reliable, in-home care.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life & cannot imagine life without one. My current fur baby is a 4 year old black lab & I’ve learned a lot about dog training over the last 4 years. Dogs need physical and mental stimulation every day & they rely on their humans for everything. Please allow me to love, entertain, & care for your fur babies whenever you are not available. I’m happy to be their second best friend. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 humans & 1 Labrador Retriever. I am available weekdays before 3pm with some flexibility 3-5pm. Available for meet & greet Saturday or Sunday. I will take notes on any special instructions or requests you have. Every pet has a different play style & individual needs so I aim to treat each one in a way that makes them (& you) happy.
“Took exceptional care of my five cats! I had total piece of mind that they were all cared for as well as if I had not been in vacation. Bonus! My extremely skittish feral came up to visit her- basically the cat whisperer. Ten million stars- out of five lol!!”

“Jonte and Julie were fantastic! Their entire house is built around dogs like a Disneyland doggy daycare. Top notch professionals with a ton of space for running and playing. It looked like they had what seemed to be an agility course in the back play area. I plan on using them whenever we go out of town, or even just to let our fur baby enjoy some socialization. Thank you so much!”
“I really appreciate that Nelly will socialize my pup with her dogs and cats, and other clients pets…all while managing them to make sure they’re safe and happy. I feel really comfortable with my pet at Nelly’s.”
“Jeniffer goes above and beyond when caring for our pup. From walks to play time to helping us out with extended care when a family emergency occurred, we’re very happy we’ve found her. Our pup gets excited when he gets within a mile of her house and knowing he’s in good hands makes all the difference.”
“Jen is wonderful!! We are doing doggy daycare for our almost 4 month old golden pup Louie and Jen is so loving, kind, flexible, easy going and a great communicator. She treats him like her own and Louie gets SO excited when we pull up to her house. The tail wags and kisses when he sees her says it all. ❤️ As any pet parent knows, leaving your pup can be stressful. Jen keeps me in the loop, sends me photos and updates throughout the day which makes me so happy. We are looking forward to many more bookings with her. Thank you Jen!”
“I have a two year old, large, german shepherd and he can be a lot to handle for anyone. Jillian's house is the only place I have full confidence in. My dog, Roman, loves going there. As soon as I put him in the car in the am and start driving down my normal route to her house he full on cries as loud as he can until he arrives. I do not even have to walk him to the door anymore, I open up the back door and he runs as fast as he can straight to her front door. Her house is extremely well kept, and certainly dog friendly. Jillian has a hand (and heart) of gold. Roman requires lots of outside playtime, Jillian has a huge fenced in backyard where he loves to run around with his friends. She also takes him to the park daily to run around and get even more exercise. Jillian's house is truly a 5 start doggie hotel. With my crazy work schedule, Jillian is always flexible and accommodating. I do not think I could get through every week without having her by my side to take care of Roman and his needs. I will forever continue to use Jillian's daycare as long as she will have us..... Which I know would never be a problem because Jillian loves Roman just as much as I do..... (and that is a WHOLE LOT! :-)”
“We’ve booked Grisel several times and will continue to rebook! She has gone above and beyond to provide exemplary care for my Otter boy (lending him a doggy sweater when it’s cold outside and successfully flushing his eyes with his eye wash during allergy flare-ups). I can rest easy knowing that he is in her care.”
“I’m always nervous about leaving my pups with someone other than myself, but with everything that Daria did today I am beyond pleased with the service. Daria provided lots of play time for my pups & even brought out a little wading pool for them! They had an absolute blast! Thank you Daria for taking such good care of my pups!!”
About: I started volunteering at the Antioch Animal Shelter in the 4th grade. Since then I have volunteered at numerous shelters and rescues, including the emergency animal shelter in Oroville after the Camp Fire. I'm Disaster Animal Rescue Team (D.A.R.T.) trained, animal CPR and first aid certified, and have years of TNR experience. I have had many exotics as pets, including a reef tank at one time. I have no issue feeding crickets and worms, but I can't feed snakes rodents. I'm a lifelong vegetarian, so that would traumatize me. Lol. I also love rodents, and currently have 2 rescue guinea pigs. Animal care and nutrition are a passion of mine. I'm also an expert teeth brusher! I brush my cats and dogs teeth every night and some of my pet sits as well. I'm very experienced giving medication, even pills to cats and my recently adopted cat Ricky is diabetic. Two of my regular cats I sit take meds, and one gets insulin injections, so I'm very comfortable with both and also know how to check blood glucose. Animals are allowed on the furniture in my home, even the bed. A couple of dogs I regularly sit sleep in the bed with me and my dogs. I treat other people's furbabies the way I would want my furbabies treated. I'm a helicopter pet parent so I totally understand how hard it is to trust someone with the ones you love. If I ever thought something was wrong with your pet I would notify you asap, and I have no issue taking an animal to the vet. I have a rescue dog who has occasional seizures and a rescue kitty with kidney disease that I give sub-q fluids to every day, so I am very comfortable with special needs animals. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to pet care. I actually have a pet thermometer and carry a microchip reader in my truck with an extra leash. You'd be surprised how many times I've used that chip reader! Being a helicopter pet parent I NEVER EVER leave an animal outside alone, not even in my fenced in yard. I don't take chances. I'm also obsessively clean, so your litter box will not be a hot mess when you return, and if your dog uses a potty pad no problem. I also have waterproof vinyl plank flooring so accidents and kitty puke is easy to clean up. :-D. When I board animals it is very much mi casa esu casa! I'm also more than happy to water plants when I do drop-ins as well, since I have them myself and am also a gardener. :-) I work from home 3 days a week and the other 2 days I come home for lunch since the office is only 2.5 miles from my house. I'm home most weekends as well. I follow the care instructions to the letter. If your pup requires a crate it must be brought with them, since mine are not crated. I am comfortable giving medication and supplements, measuring food, following a raw food diet, feeding exotics, etc. I'm also comfortable grooming for an extra fee, but will never ignore a mat in their fur or charge extra for daily grooming like toothbrushing.
“We have used Susan multiple times for daycare and she is wonderful!! She is a warm and kind person and truly loves dogs. I feel very comfortable leaving Maya with her, knowing Maya will be safe and well taken care of.”
“Sammy was great! Took my boy at the last minute and was so good with him, and as an owner of an Akita, she did so well and put us at ease while we enjoyed our music festival. Would highly recommend her and if we are back in Sacramento will definitely reach out to her again”
About: I’ve always had family pets. We’ve adopted several dogs, young and old, over the years. We currently do not have our own pets, but understand how important it is to feel relaxed when traveling, knowing your furry family is taken care of while away. I am self-employed and work from home. This allows me to be very accommodating when watching your pets and/or home. My wife is an RN and would be able to step in should my schedule not accommodate a particular situation. I prefer to watch your pets in their routine environment knowing it makes them less anxious while you’re away. Depending on your pet and their disposition, I could also allow them time in our home.
“Tiffany was wonderful with our fur baby and made us feel very comfortable with our first booking. She sent multiple texts and photos to put us at ease. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”
“Thank you Nelly! For watching our fur babies! Nelly was super flexible and communicative. We were running late and she was flexible with the timing. Would def use Nelly again if we are in the area.”
About: Hi, I’m Zarmene (or Z)! Animal care and behavior are my true passions. Over the years, I’ve learned so much from my own dog and two cats, as well as from rescuing and reuniting dogs with their families. Volunteering at sanctuaries and caring for injured wildlife has only deepened my knowledge. What clients love about me: ~Trustworthy and reliable with both pets and homes. ~Detailed updates with notes, pics/videos, and a solid understanding of animal care and training. ~Patient and consistent, especially with anxious pets—dogs quickly warm up to me! ~Positive reinforcement is my go-to—no shock collars, just communication that works for each pet. ~I believe in tailoring care to each animal’s needs, listening to their cues, and helping them feel safe and comfortable. ~On-leash walks are my specialty, and adventure days are available for an extra fee. Note: If you're more than 5 miles from me, a small mileage charge may apply, depending on the number of visits. Feel free to ask any questions at our Meet & Greet before booking! Currently, I am a freelancer, so I make my own hours, with plenty of time to love your pets, as well as my own senior dog and 2 cats! Pet sitting in your home: ~It will be kept as clean as you left it—and maybe even cleaner, time permitting! ~I ask that is is clean and scent/smoke-free (allergies) when I arrive. ~I ask for a little space in the fridge for my food. Day care or boarding in my home: ~The spare bedroom is a Pet Air BnB! Enough room for pets to play together throughout the home or take their own space in a room. ~A crate/kennel with padding/bed is required, for everyone's safety and comfort. ~There are multiple clean beds for all the fur babies. That said, a boarding pet is most comfortable when they have their own bed or blanket brought with them, which must be flea/pest-free and clean. ~A collar with tags and leash are required. Harnesses are also recommended. ~Due to landlord restrictions, I can't accept pets in my home over 35 lbs or certain "dangerous" breeds (insurance rules, unfortunately). ~I use only non-toxic, natural, and eco-friendly cleaners and pest repellents for the safety of your pets and the environment. Everywhere: ~I stay alert to your pets' social cues, respecting their boundaries and addressing their needs. I provide stimulating opportunities to explore and burn off energy in a safe and respectful manner.
“Ingrid watched our sweet Ruby last minute so my husband and I can spend the day together. Ruby returned home so happy and bummed to say bye to her new friends. We hope she’ll watch Ruby again.”
“Amazing communication, heard me when I expressed I was afraid. My boy is all I have and they sent me pictures throughout the day and stayed in constant communication. He was happy and well when I got him. I’ve already booked her for several day, overnight, and a 10 day trip I have coming up. HIGHLY recommend. 12/10.”

Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“We are so happy that Danielle is taking great care of our fur baby! She is great with communicating regarding walking times and days, she loves our fur child like her own, and she is dependable. Highly recommend!”
“Vahid took exceptional care of Rue and Reo over five days. He provided plenty of photos and constant updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He was very attentive to their well-being and even let me know when the weather was too hot for them to safely walk, showing great judgment and care. Beyond the walks, Vahid spent time playing with the dogs and making sure they were happy and engaged. It was clear from the photos and updates that Rue and Reo genuinely loved spending time with him. His communication, reliability, and genuine affection for the dogs made the experience outstanding. I would highly recommend Vahid to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and attentive dog walker.”
About: I have always loved being around dogs, showing them love and care, and then sending them back safely to their forever homes. I grew up dog sitting for family and friends, and even taking in strays until we could find their home again. I have fostered puppies and mommies and have cared for older and special needs dogs. My partner and I have our two small terrier mixes that get along with everyone and love love. Personally, I love the "Lucky Dog" philosophy and CaliK9 approach to caring for and teaching all dogs. Pet care is usually an evening or weekend activity for me, but I will be flexible for the right fur family. Communication and prioritizing needs will always be valued. Currently not offering boarding services due to change of address and major location. When I am more familiar with our current living environment this section will be updated.

“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”
About: I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats of all sizes for neighbors, friends, and family. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and following specific care routines. I like to take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to providing the best possible care. Pet care fits well into my routine. I have practice Monday through Thursday from 2-4 PM, so I am available to care for your pets before and after practice, as well as on weekends! I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care and making sure your pets receive the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection! I also keep owners updated regularly and follow any specific instructions to ensure their pet receives the best possible care while they are away.
“Fatemeh is a saint. Our Bono absolutely loved her. She went above and beyond by taking her time with our dog to do some lead training as part of his walks. He pulls much less and we have her to thank for that. She was very communicative, posted beautifully posed pictures of each walk, and coordinated easily with my mom who was watching Bono while we were away. If you’re lucky enough to have Fatemeh care for your pet, you can trust that your furry friend will be in great hands.”

I’m happy to be their second best friend. I’m currently a stay at home mom to 2 humans & 1 Labrador Retriever. I am available weekdays before 3pm with some flexibility 3-5pm. Available for meet & greet Saturday or Sunday. I will take notes on any special instructions or requests you have. Every pet has a different play style & individual needs so I aim to treat each one in a way that makes them (& you) happy.
About: I grew up with animals more specifically dogs I had a toy poodle, a labradoodle, a Labrador , now currently have a Dorgi and bully. I also care for my friends pets when they are away. I do work a full time and can be available for your fur babies. Call or text me for more info for drop-ins or what it is needed. Make sure they are fed with fresh water and engaged in a walk or another activity you would prefer. I look forward to hearing from you.
“Scott was great! Kept me up to date on the puppies ealks, play dates and and I can see the doggies were happy after a day with him. Thank you so much! Would book again 100%”
About: Growing up in a household filled with wagging tails and purring kitties, I learned the ins and outs of pet care from a young age, gaining invaluable knowledge and developing a deep understanding of their needs. Whether it's dog walking, house sitting, or providing in-home pet care, I’m reliable and compassionate toward the well-being and happiness of your fur babies. I’m a teacher and have summers off (May - August). Currently, I have an open schedule to care for your animals during the weekdays. Weekends by request. I understand that our furry friends are more than just pets; they are cherished members of the family. I can ensure their physical and emotional well-being will be cared for in my hands by providing them with the love, attention, and care they deserve (walks, playing fetch, brushing their fur, providing meals).
“Bailey did a fabulous job watching our fur babies. She sent us lots of updates, and not only walked them but hung out and had some fun play time. The dogs took to her immediately. I’ve never had them warm up to a new person so quickly! Would highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I love playing with them, taking care of them, giving them love, and any other care they need. I’m currently a stay at home mom, I just had my first baby a couple months ago who is not yet crawling or walking. So I’m available throughout the week and weekend. I have a fenced yard with space for pets to run around and get some air. I do have a 3 month old kitten but I have a lot of space in my house and if your pet doesn’t get along with cats I am able to section off my kitty to one side of the house during your furry friend’s stay here.

“Doh is an excellent sitter. We left our dog Bailey for the first time with a stranger but Doh was nothing but great to him, she sent us pictures and we were so happy that he got to play with other canine friends”
“Our dog, Zeus, stayed for his first time with Nelly and seemed to really enjoy it. He was happy and heathy and came home with the same fun and loving personality he's known for. Big thanks to Nelly for the cute pics during his stay too.”
“Serena and Wes are absolutely outstanding! We had to find a sitter in this area for our wedding and immediately knew that they would be the best choice. They were so thorough and thoughtful at our meet and greet. We instantly knew our pup would be safe and well loved with them. Throughout Finn’s stay with them, they constantly checked in with us. It was clear from pictures and videos that he was having the absolute best time. We are so so grateful to them for loving our boy in our absence. Could not recommend them more!”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our dog Chewy received. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being. Chewy was feeling down and wasn’t eating much, which had us worried. Not only did she keep us updated with regular photos and messages, but she also went the extra mile by asking if she could cook him some liver to mix with his food to help encourage him to eat. Thanks to her kindness and attentiveness, Chewy perked up by the third day—he was running around and playing again! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We felt like she treated Chewy as if he were her own dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
“Best ever! We have a special needs dog, a rescue who had been abused and attacked by other dogs and they treated her so well she felt at home from day 1. We are so thankful for everything. We got pictures, she borrowed a jacket when it was cold and rainy and she went on long walks. Best experience ever!”
“Ann is the BEST!! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my pups for more than a day; I was sooo nervous!! But Ann made me and my pups feel so comfortable right from the intro meeting!! I have an older Chiweenie who was abused and doesn't do well with people and new situations...Ann showed me pictures daily and was very responsive each time I reached out. My baby was getting pets, and sitting right beside her!! She knew her medical issue the moment i mentioned it. My other baby, a teacup Pom is very clingy, and and needs walking every day. Had pictures daily of her sitting on the doggy bed or getting attention. Now, at home, she's a little less clingy!! Ann is 5 stars!!”
“Michelle and Craig were wonderful taking care of our two dogs. Craig was so kind and scheduled an alarm in the middle of the night so that our elderly dog Suzy wouldn’t have to use a pad to relieve herself. What great care they took of our pups! Highly recommended”
“It was our first experience leaving our puppy with a sitter. And everything was great, Wyne sent pictures and updates every day and our dog didn’t look stressed when we picked her up after 7 days. Wyne’s place is clean with a good backyard for energy run off.”
“Coryn was an amazing host! We had to leave our sweet dog while away for 7 days and it couldn’t have gone any more perfect. She was on top of communication and keeping us updated with pictures. Leia had a blast, well taken care of and enough space available for Leia to be comfortable.”
“Adilene and Rhoda took such great care of our Frenchie, Whiskey. He always has a wonderful time with them, and we appreciate how attentive and loving they are. They keep us updated with photos and messages, and we know he’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Geisel was wonderful with Milo. She was accommodating and professional. I really appreciated all the cute photos. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Our first time using Rover and what a great experience it has been. Jeniffer was awesome with our Zoe. We initially did a meet and greet and zoe loved her and her two dogs ?. We had photo updates everyday and our dog had a blast playing with other dogs at her backyard pool and dog walks were great. We definitely recommend her and would be rebooking again. Thanks Jeniffer for taking good care of Zoe.”
“My 9 month shepherd husky pup stayed with Lydia for the weekend. Lydia has an extremely organized setup for the dogs she cares for. She welcomed Ziggy with confidence and warmth, and sent me photo updates throughout Ziggy’s stay showing Ziggy boding with the other dogs and relaxing in her home. I already have Ziggy booked for multiple stays over the summer, and it feels great to know that she will be well cared for. I highly recommend Lydia!”
“Thank you Reginay for caring for Queenie. She had a great time and I knew she was in the best hands. Lots of walks and play time. Pics and prompt communication. Appreciate it!”
“Juan did an amazing job of taking care of our pooch, he’s a very kind gentleman, and he took great care of our dog. He took her own long walks and provided photographs of her being her silly self. He also followed the schedule very well, so I recommend him highly to anybody looking to board their dog. He is a great guy and will take great care of your animals. Thank you.”
“Nelly was fantastic! She sent me so many photos! She and her son spent time playing ball and cuddling my baby, Razzle. Nelly was very prompt picking up and dropping Razzle off. I definitely will use Nelly again. Thank you so much Nelly!!!!”
“Sergio took very good care of my dog while I was away for a weekend. I got updates & photos on how my little one was doing and adjusting to the new environment. I would definitely use his services again if needed.”
