“Lis was great! Very communicative and you could tell she knows what she’s doing and has a lot of experience with dogs including introducing them to feel safe and comfortable. I’m so happy I chose her to watch Fenway for me, from all the cute pics she sent me I could tell Fenway had one of the best weekends ever running around playing. Will definitely be booking again for my next trip! :)”

“I am so thankful for Michelle! Michelle genuinely loves my dogs and provides them with a home away from home. My pups are always happy to go over for their "mini holiday" - they are so happy and well cared for that I am completely worry free. Thank you Michelle! You are a life saver!”

“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”

“Sara is absolutely AMAZING!! She took great care of our GSP and sent us daily updates and pictures. It was nice to know that our dog was well taken care of while we were away!”

“Ruchi & Family are great dog sitters! They kept in touch with me throughout each day of my dog’s stay and sent pictures. My dog was well cared for, played with and provided lots of attention. Ruchi paid special attention to my request to not give our dog any treats because he has a sensitive stomach and could get sick. We appreciate all the extra care! We will be repeat customers!”

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

“Melissa was the perfect person to take care of our Sara. She had a great time with Melissa’s pups and family. She kept us informed on how Sara was doing each day. This was great for us as it was Sara’s first boarding experience. We know Sara had a blast!! Melissa thank you for welcoming Sara, Rich and I. We enjoyed you and meeting your family!! Hugs 🤗. Thank you.”

“Buttons always seems to have a good time with Amanda and her family. Amanda always sends updates, photos, and videos. Buttons gets socialization skills which she needs. Amanda is a great sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter.”

“Otis is not the easiest pup and has separation anxiety as well as probable trauma in a previous home. But he seemed so well loved and cared for when we picked him up. It was hard to leave him with a stranger but they were so reassuring and experienced with dogs that it really put us at ease. I would trust Kristine and Joseph with our sweet boy again for sure. They were even willing to take him on VERY short notice and totally saved me from missing out on a very important family event. So thankful!”

“Irina took amazing care of our dog while we were away for a week. We received photo updates and he had an amazing time with puppy playmates. He was exhausted when we picked him up. A tired pup is a happy pup!! Thank you again!”

“Mrs. Pam responded to my service request at last minute for my fur baby within an hour. She sent updates periodically and I totally felt my baby was left in safe hands! I would highly recommend her.”

“Catie-Lynn was amazing with my injured cat! He was hurt right before I left to go on a trip. She was careful to follow my instructions and kept a close eye on my cat while his tail healed. She gave him his oral meds 2x a day and updated me often. I can definitely recommend her and her family. Your pet will receive a lot of careful love, attention, and fun!”


“So very highly recommended!!! Our puppy loves being in their home and receives the best care. The pictures and communications we get while we’re away is such a special touch!”

“Sara was amazing! Not only was she so sweet with our doggo but she lives on an amazing property which is a dogs paradise. Her dog Shadow was such a great playmate , and we received tons of photos while we were out of town. We will definitely book with Sara again!”

“Olena did AMAZING with my boy! She was excellent at communicating with me and making me feel comfortable. This was my first time ever leaving my dog and he loved staying with her. I 100% recommend her and would definitely use her again!!!”

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

About: Owner Away? I’ll Sit and Stay. I am willing to take care of your dog at my house or yours and have been an avid lover of our furry friends for as long as I can remember. Besides caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish and gerbils of my own in the past, I have been declared the animal whisperer in my family. I am currently a third-year student studying to create prosthetics for animals at Cal Poly University and volunteer with Guide Dogs for the Blind as well as two other organizations that foster and rehouse animals to their furrrever homes. I would love nothing more than the opportunity to meet with you and your pet to give them the best level of care while you're away and to help you feel confident in trusting to leave your fur baby with me. I am currently taking this quarter off of school to focus on work and so I have quite a bit of free time as my job only requires that I work from home. That being said, whatever availability is required to fit your needs, that is a department I am more than flexible to appease. Ideally, I would like to offer care in the client's home, whether that be pet/house sitting or just walking the dog. In that situation, I would be more than happy to take care of upkeeping the household if need be (i.e. water plants, take out the trash, pick up the mail, etc.) I live in an apartment complex where smaller animals are allowed so depending on the client's case, I can try to accommodate housing arrangements in my home instead.

I am willing to help clean around the house as well! I have indoor/outdoor plants and I can take care of your plants while you are away - I have a green thumb :) I’ve helped friends and clients with farm animals, including feeding and cleaning their spaces. If directed I can help with other farm projects. I am looking to take on as many hours as possible! I am currently in college, but only have classes Monday and Wednesday and can work around my school schedule. I am unable to bring pets home due to having my own cat and living in an apartment with a single pet deposit! But I am just fine coming to you! I offer dog walking, some behavioral training while pet sitting/walking, in home pet sitting, and I can do small cleaning projects for a minimal extra charge. I am gentle with the animals and can do grooming such as brushing and can try nail clipping if your pets allow it!

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

About: I have loved animals my whole life and have had many pets; dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, sheep and more. I thoroughly enjoy being with animals, loving and caring for them. Some of my first jobs were at animal clinics, where I learned a lot about caring for animals. I was in FFA as a youth, where I raised and showed sheep, and where I also learned a lot. In my younger years I had many horses. I learned how to care for them, feeding, exercising, and cleaning up after them, etc! I learned responsibility, in addition to a deep love of animals. All of my experiences with my own animals, have made me a knowledgeable, responsible and compassionate animal care provider. I am currently semi-retired from working in the hospitality industry. I have plenty of time and I would thoroughly enjoy taking care of your beloved pets. I have an adorable mini schnauzer, Dudley, and a domestic short hair cat, Pete. I love them both so much and get so much enjoyment out of having and caring for them. We love cuddling, talking, and playing. I make sure they have the food, treats, exercise and attention they desire, and are well taken care of and will treat yours with the same love and respect that I show to my own pets.
“Sara is the absolute best. Thank you for making Harleys stays with you so enjoyable. We will continue to use her services without a doubt. One of the best you’ll find on Rover! ❤️”

“Michelle was great with my dog Oakley! I was so thankful she was able to take him on short notice and accommodate whatever we needed... Her house is on a large property that's fully enclosed and in a beautiful gated community in the hills. Whether you have a big dog that loves to run around and interact with other friendly animals or a small dog that prefers to spend time inside close to people, Michelle's house is an awesome place for pets! My dog has major separation anxiety, but instead of stressing out like he normally does when he knows I'm leaving him, Oakley immediately settled in and started exploring the property with one of her dogs right after we got there! I could tell from Michelle's updates and photos that Oakley was really enjoying his time there and felt comfortable he would be well taken care of if he needed to stay even longer in the future. The location of her house turned out to be really convenient and close to where I was going, but even if I'm further away the next time I'm in town and need a sitter, I know that Michelle will be our first choice for sure!”

About: Hi! My name is Sienna. I’ve been raised with dogs my whole life so I have much experience with dogs. I’ve been a dog sitter on many occasions for friends and on recommendation; long and short term stays. I’ve dog sat from puppies to older dogs and big to small dogs so I have dealt with a wide range of different doggies. I love dogs whole heartedly and would love to take care of yours!! I am currently unemployed and a college student mostly online. So I’ve much time to focus on your pet and give them the best care. I truly love dogs and all animals and would give your pet the utmost attention. I’ll do whatever you need for your pet to have the best care. If they do stay with me I have a large fenced in backyard with much room for them to play around. I’ll give your dog plenty of walks. I’ll of course follow any instructions you give to me. I hope you can put your trust in me and I’ll make sure to prove you can.
About: I've always had personal pets and have been the designated petsitter for my neighborhood since i was a child. I've spent the last decade professionally training & boarding all types of dogs, cat, and falconry birds. I'm currently open and available all days of the week. My life is my dogs/family and there is always room for more furry (& feathery, scaley, ect) friends. 💜 I have a fenced garden area and 4 dogs at home who are crate trained. I can accommodate most requests and love a schedule & routine, whether in my home or in yours.
About: We have had dogs in our home our entire life. They are always a family member and treated with the best of love and care. I come from a family of breeders and a hunting and show dogs. Our seniors are loved and cared for savoring every last day. We have a ranch with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and explore as well as a huge dog run. We offer different places to keep them safe if running off leash is not the best for your baby. I am a self-employed realtor, who works from home. My husband is a rancher and contractor so one of us is typically home there are times of course when we leave but everybody is locked up safe and sound and they are also welcome to take the car ride with us should we need to run some errands. if it’s important that nobody ever leaves your baby, we can make that accommodation as well. We have a 12 x 24 kennel with multiple dog houses we have kennels of different sizes. We also have a barn with 12 x 12 stalls. We have a fenced in deck that is 30 x 50 so there are many opportunities for your baby to be outside in the fresh air And still be safe. If your dog is an inside dog, we will keep him inside with us and he will be warm and cozy at bedtime.
About: I have always had dogs/animals. We have 5 dogs of our own. We also foster with a local rescue. We specialize in the squish face breeds. We completely understand climate control. We love to exercise outside and go out often to romp. I am currently working remote part of the time (office days are Tues/Thurs). We typically always have someone home and the dogs are likely never alone for more than a 2-3 hour period. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play! We do not have a fenced yard, so our preference would be dogs that are not a flight risk! We can use a flexi leash for potty breaks but that would limit outside play for our guests. We live on 2.5 acres with a lot of grass to romp and play. Our dogs do not go outside unless supervised.
“Elaine, treated Cruz like one of her own. She gave her lots of love and attention. Cruz had such a great time with her and her pups that she didn’t want to leave each day, and was ecstatic going back each morning. Elaine provided us with great pics and detailed updates. So thankful to know that Cruz had a wonderful week of daycare with her!!”

“Amanda was great. Clarabelle is slow to warm up but loves her playtime with other dogs. Amanda took the time to let her get used to the other dogs then set her free. I got lots of adorable pics and my dog was worn out when she got home. That takes a lot! I will definitely use Amanda again!”

“Mara was great with our pups. She gave us updates and sent us pictures. She also was able to take my pups last minute which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend her for any of your sitting needs.”

“Alexa was wonderful with our shy pup Ollie. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. Ollie takes time to warm up to new people, and Alexa was incredibly patient and she let him come around on his own terms. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little guy. Highly recommend Alexa!”


“Their home and property is fantastic. My dog smiled every minute she was there. I would give Linda and her husband 10 🌟 if I could! My Ruby was treated with genuine loving ❤️ care...”

About: Hello! I've owned, handled, trained all types of animals pretty much my whole life. I know how it is when you can't take your pets with you. Let me help ease your mind, I promise to take wonderful care of your fur-babies! My man and I have three fantastic dogs. Bentley is an 8 year old Chihuahua Yorkie mix and Kali is a 6 year old black lab and Boo is a 2 1/2 year old terrier mix. They are the happiest, sweetest dogs and would love to interact with your pet. We have a cute home in El Dorado and a wonderful BIG fully fenced yard. Please be specific with your wants and needs and I am more then capable of taking great care of your animals! I look forward to hearing from all of you! I work from home and am constantly able and excited to be able to interact with my animals all day every day. That will be the same case if yours come to stay as well. I work from home which makes taking care of animals 1000X easier! :) I can do drop ins for around 30mins-1hr and can accommodate a lot of different requests!
“Koko loves to visit Diane & Augie, and we love sending her because we know how happy and well cared for when she is there. We also appreciate how well Diane communicates before, during and after the booking.”

“Amanda was very gracious towards our very naughty puppy. Apparently, some of the nervous behaviors that we don’t see at home came out with an unholy flourish at Amanda‘s home. But I appreciate the fact that Amanda gave us a full and honest report (which is helpful for us to gauge the areas he still needs significant training) and was very kind about the negatives. The most important thing, though, was that he settled down in the car almost immediately. Our dog is a very nervous dog, so if he has had a rough time at a dog sitter, we know right away because he whines and whimpers all the way home. After leaving Amanda‘s house, he winded for about 60 seconds and then went to sleep. Hallelujah! Thank you, Amanda, for the top quality care you have given to our very low quality puppy. I am especially grateful that Amanda was willing to take the puppy at the last minute, because my husband had a hospital procedure and I had completely forgotten about making arrangements for the dog. What a godsend Amanda has been.”

About: It’s like camp for dogs! Your dog can have a great vacation too. We know how important it is to have the fury family taken care of in order to relax while on vacation. We have always had our own pets and we have taken care of other peoples furry family members for years, We have fostered for Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue for the last 25 years. If your pup is used to sleeping on a dog bed, or on the couch, or with people, they can do the same here with us. We won’t change the rules on them. We are well-versed in taking care of dogs with special needs or just simply providing TLC. When we have had fosters, we helped pups recover from surgery, given medications, adjusted pups to family life, trained and more. We just lost our sweet pup Cooper so we don’t have any pets at our house. This might be helpful if you have a dog that likes people all to themselves or if you have multiple dogs. Walks, car ride (wind in their hair) treats, playtime, attention, lounging in the fenced yard are all available. We both work at home so pups don’t have to be alone and can have all of their needs met. Reach out and tell us about your furry family and what they might need while you’re away. We would be thrilled to have them. We can work our schedule around what you furry family needs. Since we Work at hime and there are two of us someone can always be here if needed. We only serve one Family at a time. We don’t have meet and greets while your dog is with us. It’s all about them when they are here. We follow your instructions for walk, food, routines. You can read our references but it might be best to come to the house to meet us and see for yourself. It’s important to feel comfortable so you can relax while you are away. We take extra measures to lock the latch on the gate and use a double door system if we go in and out of the house.

“Lis was great! Very communicative and you could tell she knows what she’s doing and has a lot of experience with dogs including introducing them to feel safe and comfortable. I’m so happy I chose her to watch Fenway for me, from all the cute pics she sent me I could tell Fenway had one of the best weekends ever running around playing. Will definitely be booking again for my next trip! :)”

“I am so thankful for Michelle! Michelle genuinely loves my dogs and provides them with a home away from home. My pups are always happy to go over for their "mini holiday" - they are so happy and well cared for that I am completely worry free. Thank you Michelle! You are a life saver!”

“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”

“Being the first time leaving Alistair since I rescued him 4 yrs ago and now mostly retired as my service animal due to a vision problem. I was really anxious about leaving him with anyone. My mind was put to rest after the meet up Linda and her husband have a true gift with putting both Alistair and myself at ease. I cried when I left but was relieved shortly after with photos of him strolling on their beautiful property. I was sent photos regularly during my trip. What a relief to know he's got a loving place to go the next time I need to leave him. Just great people. ?”

“Shelly is amazing! She has room for the dogs to roam and be dogs that is fenced and safe. She sent pictures. And I felt so comfortable knowing Luna is being loved on the whole time. I’d recommend her every time. And will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been cat sitting for a friend for the passed 3 years. I can handle giving medication and large dogs. I'm a Preschool Teacher during the day looking to help where I can. 😊 I work Monday through Friday, however I'm off fairly early at 3:30pm everyday so afternoons, evenings, and weekends are free. I have no pets anymore so they will have all the attention! There is a lovely creek that runs through my complex for walks and plenty of toys and energy! And for the older furr babies they are more than welcome on the furniture for cuddles. I also have treats if they are okay for their diet 😊 I have experience with giving medication as well if need be.
“I cannot say enough good things about Meghan and Peter! To say I was nervous about leaving my dog for a week is an understatement. 🫣 After talking with Meghan for 5 minutes, I was completely comfortable and knew this was the right place for Clover. She is so kind, loving, and gentle. Her communication was detailed and I received pictures, updates, and reassurances. ❤️ Clover was SO happy to have 3 doggie friends to run and sniff with! (She honestly seems a little bored now at home! 😆) Peter was very generous in accommodating our pick up time, which really was above and beyond. Needless to say, I would not hesitate to book with them again. Thank you! ☺️”

About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
