“Sabrina was GREAT! She took wonderful care of my puppy and older dog. My puppy was nervous and she handled it so well. Made them feel so comfortable and was sure to give my puppy all the extra love and care she needed. She sent a ton of pictures, videos and updates, which made me feel really good about them not being with me. I would 10/10 recommend Sabrina and will definitely call her when the need arises for doggy care again!!! THANK YOU, Sabrina!!!”
“Gina is fantastic. She truly love dogs and goes out of her way to make sure they are comfortable. Her place is wonderful and has ample fenced outdoor space with shade and trees. It's a great environment and she even sent my dog home with a toy she had grown attached to. I'd go back without hesitation.”
“Denise and her girls were fantastic with my pup Archie. She kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos! She even made homemade treats with her girls for Archie. He got to take a bag home. So happy with Denise, I will definitely be leaving Archie with her again.”
“When we arrived our dog ran right up to Linda and was immediately comfortable with her. She is definitely a dog person. She sent us updates each day and our dog was a happy camper when we picked her up. Thanks Linda!”
“Bleu had the best time with Sylvia! They walked, they snuggled, they ate. She provided the perfect staycation for our furball. Sylvia was responsive, thorough, and cared for our dog as if he were her own. We will absolutely book with her again, and recommend her to anyone needing dog sitting in the Arnold/Murphys/Sonora/Sierra Foothills area.”
“We are so happy to have found Lisette — She has great energy and is truly a great caregiver. It can be a bit nerve racking leaving our pups with someone new, but upon our first meeting, we were quickly put at ease and knew Riley and Miley would be in good hands. They warmed up to Lisette in a matter of minutes and really enjoyed their stay with her. They had a great time running around and exploring the beautiful property... the proof was in the pictures that were sent to us! This was their first visit with Lisette and definitely not their last — I’m sure Riley and Miley look forward to their next vacay with her!”
About: I’ve raised puppies, kittens, baby birds, chickens and various other animals, I’ve also had experience working on a dog farm and groomed various types of breeds. I’m available for part-time work and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I am open to working Monday-Sun as long as it’s planned at least a week in advance. I have a fenced large yard with two separate deck areas, I am open to bringing the pets over and housing them or going to a clients house and pet sitting, walking or even bathing if needed in a comfortable and familiar place for the pet.
“Gabby was a great sitter for my dog. I was very comfortable the whole time I was on vacation. She provided updates with photos and it was great to know that her dog is friendly and got along well with mine. Thank you!”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life, and pets have always been cherished members of my family. Over the years, we've lovingly cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and guinea pigs, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and care needs. As a proud grandma with lots of energy, I understand that every pet deserves love, patience, and individual attention. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, keeping a regular feeding schedule, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands. Since I'm retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Daily walks are already part of my routine, so having a furry friend join me makes them even more enjoyable! I live in a quiet, safe, gated community that's perfect for relaxing walks and exploring new sights and smells. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic stroll, a leisurely walk, or simply spending time with someone who loves animals, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and included in my day. Your dog's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I'll treat them like family, giving them lots of love, attention, and affection while they're in my care. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. My home has an open floor plan with plenty of space for pets to relax, play, and be part of the family. I also have a securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, fresh air, and play. I follow each pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to help them feel at ease and give them the individual attention they deserve. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, loving environment where your pet feels right at home while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're being cared for like one of my own.
“I was planning on taking Lily (4y old labradoodle) into Yosemite on my driving trip, then decided at the last minute to board her. She’s never been boarded before so I was concerned - but connected with Angie through Rover. Angie is clearly a caring dog lover, and I felt very comfortable in leaving Lily there for three nights. All went well. Lily had the run of Angie’s house, slept on a couch, and Angie kept me updated with photos. I have no hesitation in recommending Angie.”
“Stella and her family took great care of my puppy during his extended stay. He became very close with her family, made friends with her dogs, and took many leisurely walks in her backyard. He had a great time and seems like he even became more easygoing and outgoing after we came home. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Angelica was very nice and took great care of our pups. She allowed them to sit with her on the sofa and gave them so much love that I think Lily wanted to stay with her :)”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of various breeds my whole life. My family and neighbors have relied on me to walk as well as feed and water their pets. I have a dog (Duke) and cat (Domino) of my own and am overall well experienced. I have plenty of time to take care of and hangout with your dog(s) and or cat(s)! My availability on the calendar is always updated! I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I have a dog who I love more than anything. I make sure he is well exercised, loved, cared for, and kept well groomed and I will make sure to do the same for yours!
“Rachele was fantastic! My dog was very comfortable with her and came home tired after hiking and running with Rachele. I will use Rachele any time I have to leave my pup. She is a home away from home for her!”
About: I have had dogs and puppies many times in the past years so I am familiar with the needs of older dogs and puppies. I enjoy walking and taking walks with your dog. I am retired, living in the foothills of Jackson. I can be available to travel to your home, stay in your guest room, and hang out with your pets, or take your small pet at my home. When dogs and I walk I enjoy getting to know the surrounding area. Many times a neighbor will talk to me when we are on our walks! I am retired. Since I am available to travel to your home and stay there with your pets while I enjoy them and the time spent reading and visiting local attractions. Should you wish to use my home for care, I am home a lot while going out for a couple of hours at a time for my social meetings and such. I appreciate that much of the time I spend will be at your home with your pets. If I go out they will be wherever you leave them when you go to work or play. I always make sure they are safe and that I return in time for walks, their next meal and shared evening and sleep routine time.
About: I have always been in love with animals, and so from a young age I have always been the one to help a person babysit there fur babies if needed, and what better way to spend time making money, taking care of different amazing animals. It brings me pure joy!:) I am pretty flexible and could do it any day of the week, but I prefer not to do over nights unless you are gone for long periods of time. I always make sure that other peoples pets are comfortable with me, and have everything that they need, and more. One on one time with the animals are also important to me as the bond clicks faster. I will always make sure everyone’s animals are 100% being taken of with only the best care! And loved!!!!

“Not only did we have the comfort of knowing our girls were being cared for, we also came home after a long drive to a clean house and fresh sheets and towels. Elora goes above and beyond.”
“Karen was wonderful with our girls. One of them usually hides when new people are in the home, but with Karen she quickly became comfortable! We are very thankful for Karen and knew our girls were in excellent hands while we were gone.”
“Celia went above and beyond doing a few overnight stays taking care of my senior cat. She is a joy to be around and also cooked us a meal for when we got home. Thank you so much, you are appreciated!”
“Charlene did an amazing job watching my cat while I was out of town for several days. My cat doesn’t always take quickly to new people, but it was clear that she became relaxed around Charlene quickly. I received frequent updates and was confident that my cat was getting both care and engagement from her staying there. And Charlene was clear in her communication so that we were always on the same page. There were a lot of delays the day I was supposed to be heading home and it wasn’t clear that I would make it home the day I was supposed to. Charlene offered to do whatever she could to check in on my cat and make sure she was looked after still if I didn’t end up making it home. It’s clear her care and concern for animals, even shy kitties. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
About: While the 4 cats in my home do not belong to me, but my mother, I have helped many times with litterbox, and cutting nails. While I do not have experience with more special things, like administering medication or bathing, I am more than willing to sit with your baby, make sure they are safe and dont get into any trouble around your home. I adore cats just as much as dogs, and I love playing with them. If you need a sitter to just make sure their litterbox is cleaned and they are fed and watered, I'm your guy.
About: I grew up on a ranch, so I have extensive experience with all types of birds, horses, goats, cats, and dogs. I’ve house/pet sit for family and friends over the years. I have one fur baby of my own that stays with my parents when I’m not home. Dogs are the sweetest animals to walk this earth, change my mind. I work three days a week traveling, so I typically have 4 days a week available. Can travel in the Calaveras and Tuolumne county areas. My schedule give me the flexibility to check in with your pet throughout the day. Unfortunately, I don’t offer pet sitting for my house as I live with friends. I’m happy to take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home/ safe space. I am ever vigilant on walks and take into account things like daily temperature when scheduling or planning walks/outings.
“We recently moved to the area and were in need of someone to care for our senior cat. We found Linda and we are so glad we did! She is kind and professional and she takes her job seriously. She took great care of our kitty and even sent us pictures of a kitty that hangs around our property. We are happy knowing we have Linda for any cat care needs in the future.”
About: "Having grown up around animals all my life, I have a natural instinct for reading a pet's body language and understanding their needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to customized care—I adapt to your pet's specific personality, whether they are playful, shy, or need extra cuddle time. I treat every guest just like a member of my own family."
“Shileen is excellent. It was quite obvious that our German Shepherd got attached to her quickly. Since she has two dogs of her own, she related to Gabby in no time at all. She played catch with her, walked around the properly with her, and updated us with photos daily. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog under her care. I will be requesting her dog sitting services again.”
“Sabrina did a great job caring for my cats! My timid cat that hides from everyone spent time with her so that says a lot about how great she is with animals. Definitely recommend her services”
“Autumn did a great job. Nicky, Misty and Cooper were plenty happy and relaxed when we got home. The house was in the shape that we left it, and hopefully Autumn enjoyed her time at the house with our babies. We would definitely ask her back.”
About: I’ve lived with a variety of cats of different ages, energy levels, and personalities. I have experience with female cats in heat, newborn kittens, and cats with medical needs. A favorite experience of mine was fostering and finding homes for 5 tiny kittens from a local shelter in 2022. I love getting to know each new cat I meet and giving them the best care possible.
“I couldn't be happier with Jef and his time spent with my dog - Jax was clearly happy and content when we got home from our trip. Jef was responsive, flexible when I changed things up a bit, and I absolutely recommend him to other pet owners. I'll be contacting him next time we head out without our pup.”
About: I’ve cared for cats of all personalities since I was young, growing up on a farm surrounded by animals. I understand that cats need patience, a calm environment, and consistent care to feel safe and comfortable. I provide a peaceful, low-stress setting where your cat can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to feeding routines, litter box cleanliness, and behavior changes, and I take the time to build trust with each cat at their own pace. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I adjust my care to fit their needs. My goal is to make sure your cat feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.
“Gloria is the most dedicated and hard working ladies I have met in along time that takes her job seriously!!!

Thank you for taking such good care of my boy!!!!”

“Linda was ready to take care of our pups when we arrived. She has tons of experience with many dogs and we felt at peace leaving our two there for the day while we went to see the Sequoias. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again we will certainly contact Linda!”
“Sabrina was great! She kept me notified throughout the time my puppy was in her care. My puppy was a little nervous and showed a little anxiety at first. Sabrina gave him a little guidance to help him feel more comfortable and confident to be in the area. I think it was great for Clifford to be around different animals and experience her backyard:) I will definitely book again soon 👍”
About: Between growing up with cats and dogs, a parrot, horses, rabbits, and a tortoise, working with dogs in 4-H, showing my dog at the fair in the highest level of obedience, loving and caring for puppies, senior, blind, and deaf dogs, pet sitting for my neighbors and community members growing up, and working with clients through Rover doing drop in visits for walks, play time, feeds, and overnight house sits as well, I've become a well rounded animal caretaker and lover. Back at home after 9 months of traveling Asia, I am currently a free bird when it comes to scheduling, so please reach out with any requests for assistance meeting your pet care needs. With much TLC, tender loving care is how I care for pets. Additionally, I love for animals to be outside and so do I. My old dog and I used to go on so many hikes and swim in all of the creeks, having so much fun playing in the mountains. Despite enjoying dogs free of leashes, when I am walking dogs, I like to walk them on-leash as risk management to prevent unpredictable bad situations from arising.

About: Hi, I grew up around several different animals of all sizes from rodents/reptiles to livestock/dogs. I have always had at least one dog in my life at all times. The more the merrier. I love all animals big and small. I worked at a kennel where I learned about boarding and training dogs for about a year and I have pet sat for about 15 years in grand total. I currently work at a pet store in Sutter Creek. I love being around dogs and training or even just hanging out and playing. I am a outdoorsy person. I have experience with livestock animals also. Horses, cattle, chickens, Lhamas, mini animals, donkeys. I have references also if you would like them. Our home is completely fenced and sits on 3 acres. We have two friendly german shepherds. I work part time so some days I am gone at work. But our 17 year old daughter is always home. We also go to church Sunday morning so we would be gone for a couple hours but otherwise we are always home. I care for pets in my home as I would my own. I have 3 German Shepherds. 10 months to 7 years old. As for in home pet sitting I would follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies already so it would be easier on them.

“Amazing care! Rex fell in love with Katherine and her family. Katherine was very friendly and her family embraced Rex as their own. We would definitely leave Rex in this home again!!! He enjoyed being with children as well as their dog and cats!”

About: I grew up around dogs when I was younger. About 9 years ago, my kids and I started taking care of friends, and family members, dogs when they go out of town...feeding, walking, letting outside, overnights, giving medicine, etc. We started watching dogs through Rover so my children would gain experience with other puppies and dogs. My kids have done so well caring for others' dogs that I decided they were ready to have a puppy of their own. We welcomed Snowball into our family on 12-18-2021. Snowball has all his shots (NOT neutered) and is ready to make new friends. He has gotten along with all the dogs we've watched on Rover and when meeting other dogs while on walks. My children and I would love to care for your puppy/dog and treat them with love and kindness during their stay with us. We're also available for drop-in visits at your home. Overnights: Friday evenings and Saturdays all day/night. Pick-ups on Sundays are ok. No overnights during the week, unless specified on our calendar. Drop-ins and walks: please message me for availability. Also available certain holidays. Looking forward to caring for your pup. These are a few things about safety in our home while caring for your pup: - We have a fenced in back yard to keep your pup safe while outside. - I can assure you that we will never feed human food to any pup. - We do not allow pups to sleep in the bed with us. Please bring a play-pen or crate for your fur baby to sleep in at night for his/her safety. - We are willing to accommodate requests such as "please don't let my pup on the couch." Just ask and we'll do our best to meet all your pet care needs.
About: I have been owned by cats and dogs in the past. I recently transferred with my job from the East Coast to Utah, and now reside in Northern California and currently frequent the Humane Society to visit with the cats and dogs waiting for homes. Pet Sitting - I am able to walk them/feed in the mornings and after 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Thursday - Sundays more frequently. I do prefer overnight pet sitting. I am reliable, responsible and have a "knack" with most pets. I do need to know about any behavioral issues (likes to chew on things that aren't their toys for example). Do they do well with new people? I prefer not to sit pit bull terriers, but mixed breeds I don't have a problem with.

About: As an animal lover and caretaker over the past 40 years, I have experience raising dogs through all ages of life from puppies to seniors & deaf dogs, as well as cats, and farm animals. This love for animals began even before I was a high school 4-H and FFA student working with large farm animals, growing up with cats and dogs. As a pet-sitter for others, I have cared for many kinds of animals in addition to cats and dogs. I was the Dog Leader for the Murphys 4-H for 7 years and assisted the kids in training their dogs to show at the fair. While I have experience training animals, I also love to offer them tender loving care, spending quality time with them, and being their friend. It is important to me that dogs and humans both enjoy play and joy in their days, so I am happy to offer this for your pets when you cannot be there. I currently have a very open schedule, so I am most available to meet your pet care needs. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet at your convenience. When caring for pets as a sitter, I respect both your space and your pets. While I am walking others' dogs, I feel best with on-leash walks, and I will clean up after them. I also always provide animals with fresh clean water during my visits and routine caretaking. I like to keep the home and pets clean, safe, and comfortable while you are away.

About: I was raised on a ranch with all kinds of pets. I can't recall life without dogs we are so fortunate to have them in our lives they are unconditional in the love and affection they give . I was in dog rescue for 21 years as a foster. I had 7 dogs all were what was considered not able to be put in a home do to behavior issues the only option for these dogs was to be euthanized so I kept the rejects and had to stop rescue as to the inn was full and I still dog sat for the dogs that had been at my home until a new home was found . I have extensive experience with all types of dogs . I have a cat who pretends dogs do not exist so she just stays away, my cat was a ferel rescue cat and is now a fat and sassy house cat . I have a large home so have part of it sectioned off where her litter box and food are to keep dogs out of both . If I house sit I have experience with farm animals for feeding. I garden so watering is in my range. I'm home 80% of the time so I'm available. I may run a errand but that's about it . If weather permits and you have a road dog car rides with me are perfect. I spend a lot of my time cooking and blogging I cook for seniors in my community. If I'm gardening outside the dogs are welcome to be with me. I have a double lot so plenty of play room . Half of it is fenced for plenty of play room . I have a crate if needed . Your dog will have free roaming access in my home and allowed on the furniture . If I'm sitting your pet in your home it's your home and your rules that I follow . I have passed my Background check here on Rover to take care of your fur babies. I have passed my 2nd Government Background check to take care of children. I have passed my 3rd Goverment Background check to take care of elders . The point is I want you to be assured your fur babies are safe with me .
“Chelsea is great! She responds quickly, shows up on time, is flexible, and has worked with me to address my dog’s needs. My dog takes a while to warm up to people, but she felt comfortable with Chelsea almost immediately and I did as well. If you are in the Jackson area I highly recommend Chelsea as a dog walker.”

About: My own dog, Zeus, who was a German Shepard, had developed hip dysplasia in his elder years. He passed in 2024 but in his last years of life I learned to properly administer his two medications, and was able to trick him into taking them when he was stubborn, which was all of the time. I cleaned up after him while my parents were away and sat with him when he was anxious, which again, was all of the time. I took him on walks when he was younger and was able to handle his strength. I adore dogs and understand the stress of leaving a special needs dog by themselves. If you need a calm energy for your senior dog, or playfulness for your puppy, I'm your guy. At the moment I am still looking for a full or part time job, so my days and nights are completely open for those who need a sitter. I will care for your dog by first making sure they have their nessecities, food, water, medication, and a bathroom break. If we go on a walk I will make sure their harness and leash are secure, and am willing to walk however long your dog wishes to walk. When we come back to your home I will make sure he is uninjured, no issues with the feet or body if we go to a dog park. I am willing to do anything and everything to ensure the safety and health of a dog.
About: My friends and family have relied on me to look after their dogs when they’re at work or out of town. My care consists of lots of love, running around in parks and more. I have experience in taking care of cats, dogs and elders! I’m a full time college student, as well as working for Rover part time. I will have lots of time to love and care for your pets! I am available on weekends for boarding and weekdays after 5pm. I have cared for my giant dog for the past 7 years. I love playing with him in the backyard, taking him out for runs and to the parks, as well as grooming his coat.
About: Hey there I’m Elora :D I was raised with both cats and dogs of all sizes/ages/personalities and have been house sitting for the past 5 years as a side gig. I am new to Rover trying to expand my clientele! When pet sitting, I aim to stay as close to your dog's schedule as possible, and spend every free moment I have with your animals at home! I love walking around local parks and sending photos of our adventures! House sitting extends beyond just caring for the pets so I also bring in mail, take out trash, water plants, etc. I’m a recent college grad looking to spend my time taking care of animals, as this brings me the most joy. I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, so rest assured your animals will be spoiled. I am available weekdays, weekends, and holidays! I have my own car providing easy and reliable transportation to your home, grooming appts, and emergency vet visits if needed. I have the utmost respect for your home and privacy. I will always leave your home looking better than how I found it. Punctuality and communication are my key pillars.
“As reluctant as I was to allow a stranger to come into my home, I was that much more hesitant to allow a stranger to walk my three dogs, in the end I knew I had no other choice but to hire someone due to my work schedule. While searching I came across Jef’s profile and I decided to go with him in booking dog walking for my three dogs. Jef even came to meet my dogs before he was to begin walking them the following day. From the initial message to the first time meeting, Jef maintained great communication and updated me each day after their walks. Jef definitely has something about him that made my dogs very comfortable around him. He quickly gained their trust and vice versa. Jef is also very persistent and knowledgeable in training dogs and helping to improve any bad leash habits. I will definitely be booking Jef for any future needs and I would definitely recommend him to anyone with pets.”

About: "Having grown up around animals all my life, I have a natural instinct for reading a pet's body language and understanding their needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to customized care—I adapt to your pet's specific personality, whether they are playful, shy, or need extra cuddle time. I treat every guest just like a member of my own family." Since I work from home full-time, pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to provide constant companionship, frequent bathroom breaks, and playtime whenever needed. I naturally take breaks throughout the day to stretch my legs, which is the perfect time for walks or backyard play. Your pet will essentially be my 'co-worker' and will rarely be left unattended. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. When hosting pets in my home, I ensure the environment is fully pet-proofed, clean, and free of any hazards. Pets are never left unattended, and I always do a slow, supervised introduction if other animals are present. I strictly follow your feeding, crating, and bathroom routines to keep their environment as familiar as possible. If I am caring for your pet in your own home, I respect your space and follow your house rules to the letter. I maintain your security protocols, ensure doors and gates are always locked, and keep a close eye on your pet during walks to avoid any unsafe interactions. No matter the location, I promise to send you daily photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
About: I’ve raised puppies, kittens, baby birds, chickens and various other animals, I’ve also had experience working on a dog farm and groomed various types of breeds. I’m available for part-time work and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I am open to working Monday-Sun as long as it’s planned at least a week in advance. I have a fenced large yard with two separate deck areas, I am open to bringing the pets over and housing them or going to a clients house and pet sitting, walking or even bathing if needed in a comfortable and familiar place for the pet.
About: Although I don’t have pets of my own, over the past several years I’ve had the chance to care for a wide variety of dogs of all ages and sizes. I live down the street from some dog friendly hiking trails and my backyard is quite large so the energetic pups are always happy. I am accommodating and love the experiences I have meeting each new pet. A highlight was fostering and finding homes for 5 kittens in 2022! I have a relatively flexible schedule and am willing to travel a reasonable distance, message me for further schedule details- most frequently available on weekends I have a keen attention to detail that can keep too curious pups out of trouble. I love to hear special instructions from the owner about what their pets like!

“Sabrina was GREAT! She took wonderful care of my puppy and older dog. My puppy was nervous and she handled it so well. Made them feel so comfortable and was sure to give my puppy all the extra love and care she needed. She sent a ton of pictures, videos and updates, which made me feel really good about them not being with me. I would 10/10 recommend Sabrina and will definitely call her when the need arises for doggy care again!!! THANK YOU, Sabrina!!!”
“Gina is fantastic. She truly love dogs and goes out of her way to make sure they are comfortable. Her place is wonderful and has ample fenced outdoor space with shade and trees. It's a great environment and she even sent my dog home with a toy she had grown attached to. I'd go back without hesitation.”
“When we arrived our dog ran right up to Linda and was immediately comfortable with her. She is definitely a dog person. She sent us updates each day and our dog was a happy camper when we picked her up. Thanks Linda!”
“We are so happy to have found Lisette — She has great energy and is truly a great caregiver. It can be a bit nerve racking leaving our pups with someone new, but upon our first meeting, we were quickly put at ease and knew Riley and Miley would be in good hands. They warmed up to Lisette in a matter of minutes and really enjoyed their stay with her. They had a great time running around and exploring the beautiful property... the proof was in the pictures that were sent to us! This was their first visit with Lisette and definitely not their last — I’m sure Riley and Miley look forward to their next vacay with her!”

“Gabby was a great sitter for my dog. I was very comfortable the whole time I was on vacation. She provided updates with photos and it was great to know that her dog is friendly and got along well with mine. Thank you!”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life, and pets have always been cherished members of my family. Over the years, we've lovingly cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, turtles, and guinea pigs, giving me experience with a variety of personalities and care needs. As a proud grandma with lots of energy, I understand that every pet deserves love, patience, and individual attention. Whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, keeping a regular feeding schedule, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands. Since I'm retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Daily walks are already part of my routine, so having a furry friend join me makes them even more enjoyable! I live in a quiet, safe, gated community that's perfect for relaxing walks and exploring new sights and smells. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic stroll, a leisurely walk, or simply spending time with someone who loves animals, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and included in my day. Your dog's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I'll treat them like family, giving them lots of love, attention, and affection while they're in my care. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. My home has an open floor plan with plenty of space for pets to relax, play, and be part of the family. I also have a securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, fresh air, and play. I follow each pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to help them feel at ease and give them the individual attention they deserve. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, loving environment where your pet feels right at home while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're being cared for like one of my own.
“I was planning on taking Lily (4y old labradoodle) into Yosemite on my driving trip, then decided at the last minute to board her. She’s never been boarded before so I was concerned - but connected with Angie through Rover. Angie is clearly a caring dog lover, and I felt very comfortable in leaving Lily there for three nights. All went well. Lily had the run of Angie’s house, slept on a couch, and Angie kept me updated with photos. I have no hesitation in recommending Angie.”
“Stella and her family took great care of my puppy during his extended stay. He became very close with her family, made friends with her dogs, and took many leisurely walks in her backyard. He had a great time and seems like he even became more easygoing and outgoing after we came home. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Angelica was very nice and took great care of our pups. She allowed them to sit with her on the sofa and gave them so much love that I think Lily wanted to stay with her :)”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of various breeds my whole life. My family and neighbors have relied on me to walk as well as feed and water their pets. I have a dog (Duke) and cat (Domino) of my own and am overall well experienced. I have plenty of time to take care of and hangout with your dog(s) and or cat(s)! My availability on the calendar is always updated! I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I have a dog who I love more than anything. I make sure he is well exercised, loved, cared for, and kept well groomed and I will make sure to do the same for yours!
“Rachele was fantastic! My dog was very comfortable with her and came home tired after hiking and running with Rachele. I will use Rachele any time I have to leave my pup. She is a home away from home for her!”
About: I have always been in love with animals, and so from a young age I have always been the one to help a person babysit there fur babies if needed, and what better way to spend time making money, taking care of different amazing animals. It brings me pure joy!:) I am pretty flexible and could do it any day of the week, but I prefer not to do over nights unless you are gone for long periods of time. I always make sure that other peoples pets are comfortable with me, and have everything that they need, and more. One on one time with the animals are also important to me as the bond clicks faster. I will always make sure everyone’s animals are 100% being taken of with only the best care! And loved!!!!
“Michele was amazing with Lira. We were sent amazing pictures of Lira being spoiled and loved on. The communication between us was spot on and everything was amazing. I definitely recommend Michele... She's amazing!”
“Elizabeth was a lifesave when I needed someone to watch my Ava last minute. Super kind and friendly she sent me plenty of updates and photos of Ava. I would definitely re book again :) Highly Recommended!”
