“Our Rocky absolutely loves Randi! This was our second booking with Randi and she consistently exceeds our expectations with such amazing care and love for our fur baby. Randi looks after our pets like her own… I don’t stress at all when Rocky is under her care! Thank you Randi!”
“Lupe was amazing with Mia! I was gone for a long holiday trip and haven’t been away from her longer than a week and Lupe immediately welcomed Mia into her home and treated her like one of her own family members. Her home is beautiful and spacious for Mia to play, I got lots of updates and pictures and she made me feel at ease immediately about leaving Mia behind. I can’t thank her and her family enough and I couldn’t think of a better place for Mia to stay while I was away ❤️”
“I really like how Gizelle was communicating with me with Frisco stay. I got videos amd pics. Her daughter and Frisco bonded well. Really love her feedback about Frisco growth and behaviors. I booked another date for sitting with her. Thanks!!”

Gidget is looking forward to the next visit! Highly recommend for your furry family member if it's for a day or several days!”
“Tasha was great with my dog she keeps you updated with pictures as your away from your pet and the entire process with Tasha is very professional will definitely be using her services again thank you see you soon !!”
“Prior to boarding, John and I along with our dogs met up. He responded to all my messages in timely manner. He was very flexible and he sent some pics while we were away. He’s customer service was excellent.”
“Shanna is absolutely amazing! Our sweet Bodhi has been going to Shanna for a couple weeks each year. He jumps out of the car and runs right up to her house ❤️ She makes him feel like part of the family! I truly appreciate you ❤️”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of love, patience, and personalized care I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies who need extra attention, structure, potty training support, and plenty of playtime, as well as senior dogs who require a calmer environment, medication administration, slower walks, and gentle care. I’m attentive to body language, behavior, and individual needs, which helps dogs quickly build trust and feel comfortable with me. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or older and needing extra patience, I provide reliable supervision, lots of affection, consistent communication, and a clean, stress-free environment. My goal is not just to “watch” your pet it’s to give them a positive experience where they feel loved, secure, and excited to come back. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and mainly from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and cuddle time, while also making sure each pet sticks to their normal routine as closely as possible. Since I’m home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone for long periods, which helps them feel comfortable, safe, and less anxious while their owners are away. I truly enjoy having animals around and make their care a priority in my everyday life, giving them lots of love, patience, and one on one attention. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Since I work part-time and mainly from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Dogs staying in my home are welcome to roam freely and relax comfortably in the house rather than being confined, helping them feel more at ease and at home during their stay. I can also crate dogs if requested by the owner or if it’s part of the dog’s normal routine for sleeping, feeding, or downtime. I always prioritize safety by carefully monitoring interactions, maintaining a calm environment, and following each dog’s specific care instructions, routines, dietary needs, and comfort levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, stress free, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands.
“They are great! This is the second time I have them babysit my 2 dogs. I love how I get picture updates on how my dogs are doing. Vivian and Matthew are so accommodating to making my dogs feel comfortable at their place and my schedule if I'm running late.”
“Sandra was an excellent caregiver. This was the first time I have ever boarded my cat and I should have done it for a shorter time or a trial. Sandra was very tuned in to my cats needs and kept us updated on how he was doing. We did pick him up early but not because of anything Sandra did, it was all me and my cats broken heart because I just left him. Thank you to Sandra for noticing our baby missed us. Next time I board him it will only be for a weekend or in my home where he is used to, but I would use Sandra again.”
“Brian was very accommodating to all our pets needs. Milo and Rocky had a great time. Brian updates us daily with pics and videos and how the pups were doing. Any issues, he would ask, before he offer them remedies. Overall, very satisfied. Milo and Rocky came home with no issues and was themselves despite their first time being away with someone else aside from family. By the way, they also get to socialized with other dogs.”
“Jessica did a great job with communicating with me while I was away on a trip. She sent me lots of pictures of my pup and reassured me that she was ok. I would feel comfortable taking her back and know that she's in good hands.”
“Connie is my favorite sitter, by far! She really customized Kingston's stay by catering to his needs and providing an enriching time. She sent updates with photos 2-3x a day (which I loved and looked forward to). She reinforced the manners we practice with Kingston at home by not allowing him to jump, making him wait for his food, ignoring whining, etc. Kingston is a true working dog and Connie strived to give him a job each day, which I appreciate, and I know Kingston loved. I truly appreciate Connie's service and I am so happy Kingston was able to stay with her and her family.”
“Valerie was an amazing Dog sitter Bailey absolutely loved it there. Valerie text us throughout every day sent pictures. Definitely will be using her for all our future bookings.”
“Another great experience with Ciana and her family! Our dog loves her and greeted her excitedly when we dropped him off! We’re so glad we have a home away from home for him when we go on vacation.”
“Our doggo loved his stay with Adrienne! And we loved knowing he was with great people, cute dog friends, and a fun yard. The photos and video updates helped ease our anxiety as fur-parents that are rarely separated from their baby. We will definitely use Adrienne again and again!”

“This was our first time using the Rover pet sitter service so we were a bit anxious but Yuri put our worries at ease. She kept us updated by sending us photos on a regular basis and you can simply tell that she was attentive, caring and affectionate to our cat, Grae. The kids simply could not wait for the latest pics to come in. Yuri is the absolute best and would highly recommend her as a cat sitter for that peace of mind on your next trip! I definitely would not hesitate to book with her in the future.”
About: Hi! We’re Haruka & Dan, a dog-loving couple with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. For the past 3 years, we’ve been fostering with Rocket Dog Rescue, welcoming everything from tiny puppies just a few weeks old to large adult dogs into our home. We also regularly care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. One of us is usually home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship. We also have two large, friendly dogs who love meeting and playing with other dogs. We understand that every dog is unique, and we’ll do our best to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I sometimes work weekday afternoons, but my husband works from home, so either one of us are home. We block the dates that neither one of us are home. We are confident to take care of any dogs as foster parents. I know some of your dogs are reactive or skittish, but we’ve worked with them before so we’re prepared. Also we have 2 Great Pyrenees, they can play with your dog!
About: From an early age, I lived with cats. Some people aren't "cat people"; I'm the opposite. Whether the shy type or the snuggle muffin, I adore cats. Recently rescued two ferals who are now (6 years later) the sweetest, happiest love bugs. I'll enjoy every moment with your cats. And they'll quickly look forward to my visits. I feel bad for people who aren't cat people. They're missing out!
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and various animals across the years. I worked at Petco for about 5 years and had various training in cat care and dog care. I've have two dogs and one cat who I care for on a daily. I also have years of experience babysitting dogs. I'm currently on summer break so I have more time freely to invest in pet care. I would at least be about to care for a pet daily from Monday-Sat I'm very attentive to animals needs and behavior. I love playing with animal and making sure they get their daily exercise needs. I love walks with dog and always up for having an adventure with all pets.
“Ashley is an amazing dog sitter. Ashley is extremely responsible and trustworthy. She always makes sure that my dogs are comfortable and well taken care of. She gives updates and sends pictures to let me know how my dogs are doing. I highly recommend Ashley for anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter.”
About: I've grew up all my life having multiple pets. I have potty trained and raised many dogs from birth to the unfortunate end. I am able to administer medication and support any potty training needs. I am very sensitive towards animals. I have a lot empathy for them and treat them with respect. I am a stay at home mom. I am home often and have a lot of availability all week long for boarding, doggy day care or walks. I have a fenced yard. Divided into 2 sections to there are 2 areas to play. We have two sweet and energetic dogs, a 2 year old female Golden retriever and a 4 year old male lab mix. They love to play, swim, and make new friends. They have never had an issue with meeting other pups. On their down time they like to take naps, chew on their bones and get their belly's rubbed. We have 2 indoor cats that keep to themselves. Our home is animal friendly, usually they go where ever we go. I have a son who loves animals, he will be thrilled to meet some new dogs and give them the love and attention they need as he does with ours.
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for cats of all personalities. I’m here to offer more than just feeding and litter box checks. I make time for play, affection, and companionship during every visit. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I create a safe, stress-free environment tailored to their comfort and routine.
About: I’ve always grown up around cats, so I know what their behavior means, and how to care for them. They truly are the sweetest! I currently have a baby black kitty, and let me tell you her energy is all over the place, especially when I’m trying to sleep. So I know how to play with kittens and cats, to make sure they get their energy out so they don’t wake you up in the middle of the night.
“Morgan was so wonderful! Needed a mid day drop-in for my senior dog. Reached out with only a day or so notice (my fault) and Morgan was able to help no problem! Always nice to have a sitter in the area you can count on and trust, Morgan is definitely on my list ᵕ̈”
About: Hi there! We are a spunky and caring couple working from home fulltime with flexible schedules to give your furbaby all the care and attention they need. During a stay with us, your doggo will enjoy not only our attention but the company of our three sociable dogs, Coco, Osito, and Tulipan. We take our dogs on at least 2 walks/outings per day in addition to having multiple indoor play sessions. We have a large fenced park right across the street that is perfect for running, playing fetch, or just sniffing about offleash. We have lots of flexibility in our work schedules and we are at home fulltime. This means that your furbaby will have our supervision and care the entire day minus the occassional grocery or errand run. Coco and Ostio are both socialized and they are used to having other dogs join the pack. We live in a very safe and peaceful neighborhood in NW Vacaville with little traffic. This makes it an ideal place to go on leisurely walks with the dogs on one of the numerous trails nearby or take them across the way to the fenced park for some offleash time.
“Jahquan was a great sitter for our two dogs. We had him do multiple check ins during our few days away and throughout that time he was very nice and had great communication. I would definitely use him again in the future!”
“Ashley was great with our older cat Cleo. I could tell from our meet and greet that Ashley would be good, as Cleo (who doesn’t typically like people) responded well to Ashley right away. Ashley showed up as scheduled every day to spend time with Cleo, sent pictures, and communicated quickly with us. I would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”
“Valerie is amazing! I had never needed to hire anyone to look after my dog before, so I had a bit of anxiety about leaving him, but Valerie soon put me at ease. Norman looked forward to Valerie’s visits every day, and it was clear that she not only has plenty of experience but also is incredibly compassionate. My dog is older, and she was great about giving him the right amount of activity and attention based on his behavior each day. I’ll be recommending Valerie to everyone I know.”

“Giezell watched Chloe while we attended wedding events for our son on two separate days. Getting videos and pics showing how well Chloe was doing was such a relief since we had never left her before. Giezell was very accommodating when we had to ask if Chloe could be picked up a little later than expected. We will definitely be asking Giezell to watch our sweet girl again!”
“Haruka and Daniel were wonderful, and incredibly kind! My dog Sybil had a little trouble with some anxiety after I left and they did a great job keeping her comfortable despite it and keeping me updated. By the time I got there she was right at home and ready to play! We'd definitely love to book again next time!”
“Everything went really well, once for the meet & greet, and again for the stay. Elliot was very calm and comfortable when approaching Mazi and introducing his fur-babies. When I got her back from the stay, she was tired (which to me speaks to an active day, which I really appreciate after mine). Definitely would use again if he'd have me.”
“My dog spent the day at Lupe’s today and left happy. Lupe had great hospitality. She gave me a little tour of where my dog would be spending his time and asked questions about his needs/personality when I dropped him off. The indoor area is very specious and has a gate to separate some dogs from others based on temperament. My dog was showing signs of possessiveness over his toy so she was proactive about giving him his own space away from the other dogs. She said when the dogs weren’t outside playing he chose to spend his time right next to her while she worked. Lupe sent pictures and gave a recap of how he played well outside with other dogs and was fed separately.”
“Shanna and her husband were absolutely amazing. We came from Oregon and they were very accommodating for our boy dodger. Also I loved that even if they have multiple dogs they keep them separated between her and her husband so that was amazing because you never know with dogs and different personalities. If we ever return here we will def be booking with her again. Also her house is great for the dogs. She has a big fenced area in the back for dogs to sniff around and get used to the new area. 10/10.”
“Camille is amazing! From our meet and greet to my golden retrievers stay with her, she was so friendly and knowledgeable. It’s rare I trust anyone with my fur baby, but she made me feel so comfortable and sent me pictures of my pup and updates frequently. Would def have her watch my pup again! Thank youuuu!!”

“When we met Andrew at his house, he gave us a tour which included his yard. We picked up our 23lb 12 yr old poodle mix a few hours later. Oogie was happy and fell asleep when we returned home. This is the first time we used Rover’s app & dog sitting services. We are happy with the overall experience.”
“Connie has taken care of my dog Moose on a weekly basis for over 2 years now and she has been amazing! Super reliable, excellent communication, and I always feel so reassured that my dog is in the best possible hands while I’m away. Moose can be anxious and standoffish with strangers but Connie and her family have been like his second family and he is always so excited to see them.”
“Matthew was great with our dog! He was able to accommodate us at the last minute, and provided a great place for our dog to stay. We would recommend him and hope to use him again the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs and cats since I was a young child. As an adult I have owned numerous dogs/cats and often pet sit or walk for family and friends. I’m very comfortable with senior dogs and puppies as well. I’m currently working part-time and homeschool my 8 year old son so I would have plenty of time to walk and play with your fur baby. When I'm not working I’m a stay at home mom and I would love to fill my time with some new furry friends. I would often bring my son with me as long as the pet is child friendly. He is very mature, loves animals and is very good with helping care for them. We are free Sunday through Thursday and some Saturdays I’m a very responsible and clean person. In my own home I’m very aware of our pets safety and will be the same in yours. I will respect any house rules that are in place.

About: I worked as a behavioral tech for over a year where I learned all about behavioral training. I’ve had great success with my own dog at home. We have almost always had a dog in my house and know how important of a family member they are. I dog sit for several families when they go on vacation and have been doing this for about a year or so. My background is with children and have a lot of patience and love as a result! I am available full time as of right now. If this changes, I will update my availability ASAP. I wouldn’t be away from the home for very long most of the time. Any occasion where I would be away from the home for a significant amount of time, I would first make sure that the dog was completely cared for (fed, watered, pottied, and played with) before leaving. I will not be providing care in my own home. However, I do know of a dog park in the area as well as public parks for walks.
About: I have been dog-sitting since I was a child. Anytime my neighbors went out of town, they would ask me to take care of their dogs such as feeding them, playing with them, and taking them outside. One of them was a K-9. Since then I have volunteered at my local animal shelter, and I currently work with children who developmental disabilities such as autism. I’m currently working: Monday 3PM-6PM Tuesday 9AM-1PM, 3PM-6PM Thursday 9AM-1PM, 3PM-6PM Friday 2PM-5PM Saturday 9AM-12PM Any time not listed above is my availability. I have plenty of experience with dogs. I currently don’t have any of my own due to my household not allowing pets, but I grew up dog-sitting for my neighbors and have since volunteered at my local animal shelter.

“Shawna is such an amazing dog walker! I am very particular on who is around/handles my dog and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure my dog is safe and happy! It’s such a huge piece of mind knowing that he’s is getting exercise while I’m at work. She always leaves the best reports for me to read after their walks 😊 Thank you Shawna for loving my dog as much as I do!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with dogs in my home. For the past 8 years, I’ve also had a cat who has taught me so much about patience, care, and the unique bond we share with our pets. Between my own pets and caring for friends’ cats and dogs, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, ages, and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life since I’ve always had animals at home. I love starting and ending the day with walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions.

Every pet is unique, and I make sure to adjust to their needs so they feel cared.
About: I've owned pets of all kinds my entire life from dogs to parrots, snakes, tortoises, and ducks. I've pet sat for my neighborhood cats and dogs before and loved it! Currently own an energetic and lovable husky. I am a student, getting my twaching credential for math, so I am off for the summer. I'd love to use some of that time to help others with their pets! I cannot bring pets to my home since I have a lot of animals here already, but I'm happy to go to parks/on hikes as I do so with my own husky quite regularly. I'm happy to brush, feed, walk, play, and bathe pets that I care for.
“My puppies first walk. Was informed what could improve personality traits that were apparent. Appreciated the positive feedback and suggestions. Took lots of pictures which I enjoyed. Happily keeping her new dog walker.”

About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes(and cats) and have been asked by many to take care of their pets while they are absent and so I know what type of attention I need to give to an animal when they need it. I also pay good attention to medications if one needs it. I love to play with dogs and cats, and make sure they get all of the exercise they need. I’m comfortable around all animals, and I’m willing to adapt and learn how to take the best care of them! I dedicate all of my time making sure that they feel loved, and energized while playing or just going on a walk. I have three dogs of my own, a German Shepard, and two Heelers, and they are very energetic, so I learned how to play with them according to their needs. Im home most of the day, so I am available for drop ins or walks, and can accept last minute bookings! With how busy life can be, I want to be able to take one less worry off your plate, and care for your animals in the way they need, so you can also take the care that you need. Currently, I have a part time job in the mornings, Monday through Wednesday, so I have plenty of time in my schedule for any fur baby! I have three dogs and two cats, so I’m not able to watch your furbabies at my house, however I would be more than happy to watch them at your house, or just take them for walks!

“Our Rocky absolutely loves Randi! This was our second booking with Randi and she consistently exceeds our expectations with such amazing care and love for our fur baby. Randi looks after our pets like her own… I don’t stress at all when Rocky is under her care! Thank you Randi!”
“Lupe was amazing with Mia! I was gone for a long holiday trip and haven’t been away from her longer than a week and Lupe immediately welcomed Mia into her home and treated her like one of her own family members. Her home is beautiful and spacious for Mia to play, I got lots of updates and pictures and she made me feel at ease immediately about leaving Mia behind. I can’t thank her and her family enough and I couldn’t think of a better place for Mia to stay while I was away ❤️”
“Prior to boarding, John and I along with our dogs met up. He responded to all my messages in timely manner. He was very flexible and he sent some pics while we were away. He’s customer service was excellent.”
“Shanna is absolutely amazing! Our sweet Bodhi has been going to Shanna for a couple weeks each year. He jumps out of the car and runs right up to her house ❤️ She makes him feel like part of the family! I truly appreciate you ❤️”
“Connie is my favorite sitter, by far! She really customized Kingston's stay by catering to his needs and providing an enriching time. She sent updates with photos 2-3x a day (which I loved and looked forward to). She reinforced the manners we practice with Kingston at home by not allowing him to jump, making him wait for his food, ignoring whining, etc. Kingston is a true working dog and Connie strived to give him a job each day, which I appreciate, and I know Kingston loved. I truly appreciate Connie's service and I am so happy Kingston was able to stay with her and her family.”
“Valerie was an amazing Dog sitter Bailey absolutely loved it there. Valerie text us throughout every day sent pictures. Definitely will be using her for all our future bookings.”
“Our doggo loved his stay with Adrienne! And we loved knowing he was with great people, cute dog friends, and a fun yard. The photos and video updates helped ease our anxiety as fur-parents that are rarely separated from their baby. We will definitely use Adrienne again and again!”
“Brandon watched our two dogs for almost a week while we went out of town. He was fantastic! Super communicative the entire time and made them feel right at home. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands and having a little vacation themselves! Thank you for everything Brandon!”
“Camille was great! She was very responsive and flexible with our schedule for drop off and pick up. I got check-ins throughout the week and updates to let us know how our boys were doing which we really appreciated. She also had good communication, letting us know if she had questions about their behavior. Thank you for taking good care of them!”
“Shireen was great with my old pup. I was a little nervous leaving him with strangers but he did great and we loved the photos she sent during our vacation. The photos give you, as a dog mom, the comfort that your pup is happy and being taken care of and eases your mind. I will definitely have Leo come back to Shireen.”
“Kimberlin was great with our 2 dogs! They stayed with her and her husband for a week getting lots of attention and love. She communicated well, responded promptly to the initial request and all subsequent messages. She’s kind and clearly has a love of dogs that shows through her interactions. She is very understanding and accommodating. Our dogs were perfectly happy when we picked them up after a long week and I’m sure wouldn’t have protested to staying longer. Will definitely be using her again whenever we need help with our pups!”
“We found Ms. Olivia when looking for a new sitter for our 14 year old pitbull. We wanted to arrange for a short term stay before a longer term stay later this month. We made our decision based on Olivia’s experience with anxious dogs as our seasoned pet does experience anxiety and restlessness sometimes. As a pet owner, we too have anxiety when leaving our pet with a new sitter. Olivia was very welcoming when we arrived. She assured us that he would be fine. She kept us updated with photos to show how comfortable he was and she communicated and responded promptly with any questions we had after drop off. Olivia’s respectful personality was clear. She was prompt and ready for the drop off and had him ready for the pickup as well. We felt very comfortable knowing that our pet was in Olivia’s care and we will continue to utilize her services whenever we need them.”
“I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Biswas provided for my dog, Halo. It was a last-minute booking, but he was kind enough to meet with us the night before to make sure it was a good fit. He kept me updated with pictures throughout Halo’s stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. His daughter was so sweet and happy to have Halo there, and I could tell Halo felt right at home. It was only for one night, but the experience was excellent. I’ll definitely be using Biswas again in the future!”
“The best dog sitter around!! While our family was out of town we received pictures, updates and quick responses. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog! We had a unique situation that needed some flexibility and they were willing to work with us. Everything worked out perfectly! We cannot say enough how much our minds were at ease knowing our dog was in good hands.”
“Hayley and Pierce are excellent care providers. They send photos and video. It was so nice. They did wonderfully with my pup and he was relaxed and happy at pick up. I highly recommend.”
“We had our two dogs with them for almost a week and everything was perfect. Drop off and pick-up was a breeze. We got regular pictures and updates. We will definitely bring our pups back!”
“Tiffany took the best care of our sweet little angel. He's still a puppy at almost five months so can be a handful but she handled him like a champ! She sent great pics and made sure he got out all of his puppy energy! I also think she maybe fell a little in love with our little guy. So that coupled with how happy and rested he came back to us gives us every confidence she will always care for our little monster. We will definitely use Tiffany every chance we get when we need someone to step in and love him the way we do!”
