Recommend this family”

We know our dogs will be well taken care of while we are away when they stay with Colleen and that is everything! We highly recommend Colleen.”

About: Your dog will stay on our private ranch with plenty of room to play, explore, and relax in a safe, supervised environment. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a slower pace, I tailor their care to fit their individual needs. I treat every dog like one of my own and strive to provide a safe, enriching, and stress free stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. Having raised multiple litters, I'm comfortable with puppy routines, potty training, and socialization, while also understanding the patience and attention senior dogs need, including medication administration and mobility support. I am not taking on reactive/aggressive dogs at this time unless they can be kenneled outside of the home. Reach out to discuss. Full time dog boarder and trainer working from home. I provide 24/7 care as if your dog was one of my own. Pickup and drop off hours in morning or evening. Very limited afternoon pickup/drop off availability. 5 acres fully fenced in along with smaller fenced in play yards. Home is air conditioned. Dogs can either exercise on the full property if recall trained or in one of the smaller, 6ft tall play yard areas if they need a smaller enclosed area.
“Sumaira took such good care of my cat, tortoise, and chicken. She sent great pictures and they all looked happy. Appreciated her attention to detail and letting me know a light had burned out. Timely daily feeding and visits! Will definitely ask Sumaira to take care of my zoo again!”
“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”
“Mariah was great with taking care of our two cats while we were out of town! Upon coming home, our cats were happier and more relaxed than I've seen them in a long time after we've been out of town. Mariah was very thorough with sending updates, asking questions as needed, and was great to work with. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again!”
“Alyssa was amazing! I had my sitter for thanksgiving cancel last minute and when I reached out to Alyssa on short notice she was still super willing to watch Mac. She was super kind and communicative through the stay and when my return flight cancelled she was flexible and let him stay an additional night. Great experience!”
About: As the owner of 3 kitties, I have gained hands-on experience providing daily care and attention to my pets with different personalities and needs. My responsibilities include feeding, ensuring fresh water is always available, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring their health and behavior, providing playtime and enrichment, and maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. Caring for multiple cats has strengthened my patience, organization, and ability to recognize changes in behavior or well-being, allowing me to respond quickly and ensure each cat receives the individual care and attention they deserve.
About: When I wasn’t with my horse or loving on my own pets, I was the go-to pet sitter for family and the neighborhood dog walker for anyone who needed an extra hand. I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—including my sweet puppy Blossom, who was in a wheelchair and had hydrocephalus (water on the brain). She needed round-the-clock care, and I was there for every moment, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention pets deserve—especially those with special needs. I’m caring, loving, and endlessly patient, and I promise to treat your fur baby like my own. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a good old-fashioned game of fetch, I look forward to being the reason your pet can “smile” during the day… even if I have to make silly faces or use my best squeaky-toy voice to do it! Lol. I already spend part of my week walking dogs for a friend, and it’s one of my favorite parts of the day. Since I work from home, I’ve got plenty of flexibility for walks, hikes, playtime, and all the tail wags and happy zoomies your pet needs! Let me know what YOU prefer for your fur baby. (: I’m more than happy—and honestly, I prefer—to come to you! It gives me a nice break during my workday and lets me spend quality time with your pet in their own space. I’m great at reading animal behavior and body language, and I have experience caring for pets with special needs (I had my own), as well as handling aggressive behavior, food aggression, nervousness (I’ve fostered pups with these challenges), training, crate training, and more. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll adapt to make them comfortable and happy!

About: Reliable registered veterinary technician with extensive background in pet care and emergency medicine experience. I pride myself in my pet care and treating each animal as my own! Currently work full time at night, but I have free time during the day for walks and/or drop in visits! I have dedicated my life to caring for furry babies in my professional and free time! I’m a clean and neat person, so when I drop in for walks/visits you’ll have happy and clean babies! I’m great with shy babies so if yours needs time to warming up to strangers, I can easily do that as well!
“Elaine is a special person. She just loves animals and she treated my 3 cats just as if there were her own! I have 1 cat that is quite shy around strangers and he came out for her day 1. I have another cat that was feral during his first 9 months of life and he was hiding but actually came out for her on day 4 which was amazing!! He has not done that for any of my family members! She is knowledgeable and wanting to always learn more. She is good about literally spending time playing with my cats as well! I would definitely recommend her and I will use her again!”
“Josephine takes excellent care of our kitty, leaves everything as clean or cleaner than before, is extremely responsive and flexible. And she sends great pictures of the cat playing and having a good time!”
About: All good houses have at least one cat and all cats need at least one human to rule over and on occasion deploy to run errands for them like cleaning their catbox, filling their food and water, and perhaps most importantly, giving them head scritches. Over the past ten years I've watched an ever growing colony of strays, 3 litters of kittens, 1 pregnant cat, and countless divas. No cat is too regal or moody.
About: I've spent more than 30 years caring for dogs and the past 6 years walking and pet sitting for families who trust me with their beloved pets. I have experience caring for senior dogs, dogs with cancer, and those who need medications or extra attention. I know every dog is unique, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I am currently doing a variety of summer camps around the east bay. Fitting in walks before and after would definitely be my goal, as well as weekends. I have a fenced yard and 2 furry fluffy guys of my own, Georgie a labradoodle and Teddy an golden doodle to keep your furry friend company.
About: My name is Dominic Jordan, and thank you for considering me to care for your pet(s). I provide pet sitting and care throughout the Bay Area and greater Sacramento area, and I’m always happy to travel to your home to keep your furry family members comfortable. I’ve spent nearly a decade working hands-on in the pet care industry, caring for dogs of all breeds, cats of all personalities, and even a variety of small animals and farm animals. My approach is calm, patient, and animal-centered. I meet pets where they are and make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for. In addition to pet care, I’ve worked in In-Home Supportive Services, private security, and forest conservation with State Parks and the California Conservation Corps. These roles strengthened my sense of responsibility, awareness, and ability to keep both pets and homes safe and well-tended. When I’m not caring for animals, I’m usually behind a camera, drawing, or gaming. I’m naturally a homebody, which makes me a great fit for pets who enjoy companionship. I’m also happy to take and share high-quality photos of your pets during my stay, so you can feel connected, no matter where you are. Your pets will be treated with patience, respect, and genuine affection, and your home will be watched over with the same care. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family!
“Ciara has been an amazing sitter for our kitty Pearl while we’ve been away. We got stuck out of town due to road closures from the snow and she really saved our butts by checking in on Pearl a couple of extra days until the roads opened up. She definitely has cared for and loved Pearl and I know Pearl has enjoyed her company. Ciara will be our first choice when we need a sitter again!”

“Chico has had a couple visits now with Shirley and he seems to find a playmate or two each time. I’m glad he’s having a good time at her house. Shirley has communicated well and we feel confident that our dog is safe.”
“Merilu was so wonderful for doggy day care for my dog! He stayed with her for three days when I had some long work days. He was so excited to see her after only the first day. It looked like he had fun with her cute bichon too. Highly recommend Merilu for day care!”
“Sylvia was amazing! My poor pooch Blanca had just gotten an Elizabethan collar for the first time because of a hot spot on her cheek. She was extra scared during her daycare with Sylvia and Sylvia made sure to give her plenty of space during her stay. Sylvia was just so kind and understanding the whole time! I so appreciated her warmth and hope she’ll accept Blanca for a future stay. Thanks Sylvia!”
“Miss Joanne was so kind and accommodating! She really made my puppy comfortable and worked on getting her socialized with her extremely friendly pets. She exudes a motherly vibe and you just feel you’re leaving your pet in great hands.”
“Justine could not have been more accommodating in making sure our puppy Theo’s stay was inviting and overall amazing! 10/10 would recommend and looking forward to his next stay with her!”

“It was my puppy’s first time doing daycare, and Liam and his wife made it such a positive experience. When I dropped Loki off, he happily trotted off with them with no hesitation, and when I picked him up, he was in such a good mood. Liam and his wife are both such warm, friendly people. They kept us updated with photos and were super easy to communicate with. I’d absolutely rebook!”
“Brian is absolutely amazing with dogs. He understands them and cares for them like his own. Peaches had a great time in his house. We were a bit skeptical since we’ve never left her anywhere overnight but Brian made everything so easily and made us feel so comfortable leaving her there for a few days. Thank you so much! We will definitely be using Rover and Brian’s services again.”
“Our dog always looks forward to staying with Sabrina. He lets us know the minute he gets out of the car. She does an amazing job looking after our special guy! She's one of the few people I trust with him.”
“Stacy was a wonderful host and dog sitter! Her friendly and mild manner quickly put shado at ease and she was very comfortable staying in her home. The backyard made potty breaks much easier and also room for extra play. Stacy was communicative and shared updates with pics throughout the stay. I knew Shado was in very caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“Our frenchie spent an exciting day with Vanson’s dogs. He loves to run around and that’s exactly what he did. Vanson sent photos and a video of Bentley having fun. This was Bentley’s first stay with Vanson and it was a success.”
“I can not thank Anton enough for taking such great care of my baby Bruno. Anton sent pictures and updates thought out Bruno’s stay. I felt very fortunate to find such a great sitter. Anton’s home was set up perfectly for dogs. I’m glad I found Anton and will definitely need him in the future. Thank you again. 🐶🐾💕”
“This was Boogie’s first being away from us so naturally we were a bit nervous. Pratik was so welcoming and kind. We got updates on Boogie all through out the day. We are so happy that we found Pratik to care for our boy. We are definitely going to be bringing Boogie back. Thank you so much Pratik!!”
“We had a great experience! Ace was so well taken care of, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We got updates, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable the whole time. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our boy—we truly appreciate it and would definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! 🐾💕”
“Great experience from start to finish. I love how attentive Magin was with all of my pups needs. She also sent updates, pictures, and videos throughout his entire stay that really helped being away from him. It was our first time leaving Jack with anyone and we were so happy he was cared for so well. Knowing he was enjoying his stay through pictures and videos was the best part of this experience. Thank you so much Magin!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a teenager, starting with stray cats. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, mice, and rats. I currently have birds and a cat. I work from home, and have ample time to take care of people's pets with my current schedule, especially on the weekends. I can also do overnight sittings. I will always follow the instructions of clients when taking care of pets at their homes. When taking care of pets at mine, I have the ability to crate them if needed, and give them space.
About: I have been taking care of animals for over 7 years. In the past two years, I started house/dog sitting for close friends and family. I currently am working only as a pet sitter. I will be continuing my education in January where I hope I can continue to petsit on weekends and some weekdays. I have lots of experience taking care of animals since I have two dogs of my own. I will create a loving and caring environment for your fur babies.
“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. But, when I acquired more responsibilities was when I moved in with my sister to SoCal and I started helping her take care of her dogs, two schnauzers and one yorkie. I would take them hiking, walking, and to the grooming salon. I would buy them enrichment toys and play with them every evening. Then, when I moved to NorCal for school, I adopted a dog, a Labrador. Now, I do the same as before but with more mental and physical exercise since my dog requires it. Taking care of dogs has always been part of me, my grandma was the same and that’s something she gifted me. I enjoy every aspect of it and the responsibilities that come with it. Dogs are a big responsibility and I will make sure to take care of your doggy, as if it’s mine. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your doggy. Currently with Hunter we go out four times a day, two times for physical exercise and potty breaks and the other two times only for walks to go potty. Hunter loves to play fetch and hide and seek. We hide the ball and he searches for it, this is his favorite game and it works for mental and physical exercise. We are very active and we exercise Hunter a lot but if your doggy is not like that, no problem, we can go only for walks and Hunter can play by himself. I have a fenced yard and a catio (patio for cats) where my cats spend most of the day. Dogs don’t have access to the catio since that’s the cats safe place. Hunter and the cats get along but my cats don’t play much with hunter, they are very lazy and only care about sleeping, sunbathing, and wet food. Hunter is VERY friendly, the nicest dog I ever known and loves to play all the time. Hunter has been around dogs of multiple sizes and ages from a 10 year old yorkie to a 2 year old labrador. Hunter is not neutered but he is not aggressive and territorial other than marking plants and trees outside at the park.
“Dominic was great with my pups, one of which is pathologically shy. A true dog whisperer. On time, personable, knowledgeable and professional and obviously someone who loves dogs and has their best interests at heart.”
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. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule, I can easily fit in feeding, exercise, and companionship throughout the day, making sure pets feel loved and cared for just like they would with their own family. In my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the routines they’re used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship so they feel at ease. I give lots of attention, cuddles, and exercise when needed, and I’m always careful to keep their environment clean, calm, and stress-free. Every pet is unique, and I make sure to adjust to their needs so they feel cared.

I understand the importance of routine and consistency in our babies' lives, and aim to keep their same daily routines in my care. I regularly communicate with my clients with updates and pictures :) For our energetic or puppy friends, exercise and play time is no problem! For our senior pups, I am attentive to their needs at all times to ensure their comfortability.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I treat each pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique routine and personality. I'm comfortable caring for energetic puppies/kittens who need consistency and playtime, as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, gentle care, medication reminders, or a slower pace. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Im currently just doing school twice a week Tuesday and Thursday during the evening. Im currently working from home so I have plenty of free time to take care of your adorable fur a babies.

About: I'm excited to meet new pets and their people! While I'm new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for animals. I have over 20 years of professional experience caring for pets and homes, along with a lifetime of loving animals of my own. Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, as well as cats, birds, and other small animals. Most recently, I spent four years living in Hawaii with my own dog, cat, and bird, and have cared for pets throughout the Bay Area, including Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Contra Costa, and Napa. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves mountain biking, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. If your dog enjoys adventure and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to include longer walks or outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I enjoy keeping active dogs both physically and mentally engaged, while always respecting each pet's individual needs and routine. During COVID, while my massage therapy practice was on pause, I got a certification in canine massage, deepening my understanding of canine anatomy, mobility, and comfort. This experience has been especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, anxious pets, and those who benefit from right amount of exercise and a calm, gentle touch. Every pet is different, and I take pride in carefully following your instructions so they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved companion is receiving attentive, experienced care. I've always believed animals are some of life's greatest gifts. To me, they are like guardian angels on Earth. They teach us unconditional love, presence, and joy. It's a privilege to earn their trust and care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my work around the pets I'm caring for whenever possible. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide each pet with the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply keeping their normal routine, I'm happy to adapt my schedule to meet their needs. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away, and I strive to make their time with me feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences before you leave. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, favorite walking routes, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your companion enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I believe consistency and patience help pets feel secure while their family is away.
“Aichav has been great with my white German Shepherd. My pup can be a lot to handle and we haven’t had a problem. She’s communicative and responsive. She takes my pup on several walks throughout the day while staying in her home. A+!”

“Tracey, her family, and Bentley the Berndoodle were all wonderful. We did an advance meet and greet with my dogs and hers- they all got along great. Bentley is a character and I can’t imagine another dog not getting along with his playful bouncy energy. Tracey is awesome, thoughtful, communicated great and really just a nice lady. Highly! Recommend this family”
“I am so pleased with Orry’s care. I received pictures and videos throughout his stay that showed how much fun he was having. He was shown so much love and I appreciated the flexibility when plans changed at the last minute. I have no problems sending Orry back for another “vacation”.”
“Excellent experience! Buffy loved Deana and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated the updates and the photos throughout the boarding and it's clear that Deana genuinely loved and cares for the dogs. High recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Absolutely love Kathy and her family for all of the love they give to our fur baby Max! They treat him with love and kindness! We can go away and rest easy knowing that Max is treated like one of their own fur babies!!! Definitely will always have them on speed dial for caring for our Max!!”
“He was great. He sent videos and photos throughout her stay with him. He has his own dog supplies as well, which was helpful because we accidentally left some of her stuff and was rushing. She looked so content and happy in the sun. I would definitely book with him again. Thank you for taking care of Mocha!”
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“Colleen is absolutely wonderful. My dogs were so excited to see her when she arrived to pick them up. She and her husband, Paul, take our dogs on lots of adventures, shower them with love and attention, and they send daily updates and pictures. She is good about administering medication, very flexible and even introduced us to the fun of giving the dogs a snuffle mat dog toy. We know our dogs will be well taken care of while we are away when they stay with Colleen and that is everything! We highly recommend Colleen.”
“Bonnie was great with sending updates and pictures. Her children were great with Malu as well. I definitely would recommend her to any other pet parents! Thank you again Bonnie!”
“Sabrina was great with my babies while we were on vacation. She made sure to send me photos and gave me updates. Which I really appreciated with it being the first time I have ever boarded my cats! You won’t regret picking her to care for your furry family members!”
“John was absolutely fantastic! He took exceptional care of our two German Shepherds while we were away and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands—we will gladly book with him again.”
“Nikki and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog, LeBron, during his week-long stay in their home. They welcomed him like part of the family and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They sent daily updates and photos, which truly made our day and gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. He also had a great time playing with their older dog, Edie, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish, and you can tell they genuinely love the dogs they care for. They even went above and beyond by being flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and were able to keep him for an extra day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Nikki and her family to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and reliable sitters. We will absolutely book with them again.”
