“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”
“Our first time being away from our tiny Yorkie, and Susan and Irv did a great job. When she refused to eat they ended up hand feeding her and wouldn’t rest until they found something she would eat. We will definitely book Susan and Irv for future pet sits.”
“Grisel and her daughter took such good care of my Momo! I could tell Momo was comfortable and felt safe. They were also excellent communicators and send me very frequent picture updates of Momo, which I really appreciated. Would definitely have Momo stay with them again.”
“Nicole was awesome and Bailey had a fantastic time. She treated Bailey like she was her own dog and I couldn’t ask for more sent many pictures and updates and just love the fact that I have somebody that I can go to if I have to go out of town I highly recommend her.”
“I can't say enough about how positive the experience was. Melissa and her family are super sweet and caring. We arranged to have our dogs meet in advance, which was great, and Melissa took the time to make that happen. My dog took some time to socialize with their other dogs, but Melissa was accommodating and helpful to make sure that process went smoothly. She also sent pictures and video while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Alesya was great with my little guy and truly made us both so comfortable with his first boarding experience! She kept me informed along the way and it’s very clear she truly cares about the pups she watches!”
“Kazue is everything you can ever ask for in a dog sitter. Very quick communication. Sends photos of my dog every morning, midday, and evening. She even folded my dog’s blanket and washed his bowls prior to me picking up my dog. She is absolutely wonderful!”
“Erin is a very loving doggy sitter. I can go away and feel my dog is in good hands. Erin sends two updates daily along with pictures. She has 2 dogs, who my dog gets along with just fine. I highly recommend Erin”
“While I was away, Sade had excellent communication with me the entire time. She sent pictures and updates regularly, which I really appreciated. She also followed the meal plan I provided perfectly and took great care of Peanut. I would definitely highly recommend Sade to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will absolutely be using her again in the very near future!”
“Achara was wonderful with our dog. He had a great time running, chasing, and playing with her dogs. Achara was great about sending pictures and updates. We are already planning the next time our dog can stay with her!”
“As a first time pet owner, sending Dubu to a boarding service was very nervous at best. My wife found Miya based on others recommendations and they are absolutely correct. From the initial meeting to introduce herself to Dubu and me to series of communications to prepare me for dropping Dubu off at her place made it easy and set up an expectation of what to expect. I could feel that Miya was very dedicated to the wellbeing of the dogs in her care. Taking Dubu out to walk 4 times in an one day stay just because Dubu wouldn’t go potty shows this. In addition to this, I’ve learned quite a bit more of what is like to raise a puppy from her experience. Experience was so great, I’ve booked next service with Miya already!”
“Chelsi is fantastic! Left our girl Donna with her and they had a blast together! She followed all our instructions and sent great updates and photos! We will definitely be booking with Chelsi again the next time we go out of town!”
“I was nervous leaving Ollie with a new sitter since he’s so used to having me or my fiancé home with him, but Ekaterina was amazing. She sent lots of photos and regular updates, which really put my mind at ease. When I picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and very calm. It was clear he was well cared for. I would definitely recommend Ekaterina and would happily book with her again!”
“Reginay watched my dog CeeCee I am definitely coming back again. Reginay kept in communication with me the whole time. She agreed to a meet and greet before she watched her. She is very sweet and professional the first time we met. I picked her before but didnt need her that time . She was very sweet and understanding thats why when i needed a sitter she wss the first person i contacted. Ceecee has very bad speration anxiety and this was my first time leaving her with someone she didnt know. I called and texted a million times she never missed not one call or text and made me feel at easy everytime. My dog also have pancreatitis She have a special diet she followed all food instructions i gave her .. Ceecee was smiling the whole time she was with her and she dont do that with anyone. Anything i asked her to do with CeeCee she always said "Sure, no problem" she is very good with communication and easy to talk to . She also have a dog Nova is so sweet and was also glad she was there to keep her company then another dog came over and it was a slumber party. She even took all three walking at once multiple times and took multiple pictures and videos with CeeCee smiling the whole time and let her sleep in her room with her which was amazing and when CeeCee needed her space from the other dogs she made sure she had it. Over all she was the perfect sitter .She made feel very comfortable with her watching CeeCee I am using her everytime I need a sitter. I would give her 100 stars if I could. She was the best! I couldnt ask for a better sitter. Thank you Reginay 😊.”
“What an amazing experience! Kelsey took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I loved all the photos and regular updates she sent. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Juneau had a blast with Lety and Mason. I appreciated the frequent photos and videos updating me on all of Juneau’s adventures throughout the weekend. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Juneau again!”
“Doh was an excellent communicator for our first time experience with Rover. Louie was in good hands with extra playmates and she treated him like he was her own dog. I would highly recommend Doh to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Danielle was a fantastic host. She is a good communicator, very accommodating and overall just a delightful person. Cersei felt 100% comfortable staying with Danielle and had fun playing with her own pups as well.”
“Victoria was great! She sent me updates, was very kind and easy to communicate with. My dog needed some social time and to see how she did on an overnight visit with other dogs. She said my dog was good, played well with the other dogs and she would watch her again. That’s a huge relief because not everyone will watch Belgian Malinios’, so I was grateful. I would highly recommend Victoria and will be returning in the future. Thank you Victoria for taking such good care of Sasha.”

You won’t have to worry about the safety of your pets, state of your home, or any medication/special needs your pet(s) may have or need!
“Jenna takes the BEST care of our bunnies! They look forward to her visits now. She really has given us the most "peace of mind" when we're away. She's the BEST OF THE BEST..I cannot recommend her more..simply a blessing to have her watch our little buns ❤️”
“Markita was so sweet to my cat, Comet, and ensured she was comfortable while we were out of town. Markita was able to administer Comet’s medication. Thank you, Markita!”
About: Hi! I’m Jasmine, new to Rover and currently offering discounted rates while I build my reviews. I provide attentive, reliable care and treat every pet like my own. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly makes me happy. I have over 20 years of experience, training in pet first aid, and a background in rescue and fostering, so I’m comfortable with everything from playful pups to shy or senior pets who just need a little extra patience and love. At home, I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also offer house sitting and light cleaning, so not only are your pets taken care of, you’ll come home to a tidy, well-looked-after space too. I’m happy to help with things like bringing in mail, keeping things clean, and making sure everything runs smoothly while you’re gone. Expect lots of updates, cute moments, and peace of mind knowing your pets (and home!) are in good hands 💛 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and can easily fit into your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Whether your pet needs early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space and routine.

I’m also respectful of your home and happy to help keep things tidy, bring in mail, and make sure everything is just as you left it, or better, when you return. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pets are getting lots of love and attention while you’re away 🐾 I am happy to meet at a coffee shop prior to your booking so you can ensure I'm the right fit!
“First time using Rover and found the best cat sitter. Jazmine is absolutely amazing, reliable, and wonderful with my cat. Definitely recommend and will for sure book with her next time we need a sitter. Thank you!!”
About: I have lived with and cared for my own and family cats most of my life. I have learned many ways to give cats oral medications and I have given my cat subcutaneous vitamin B12 injections. I volunteered with a cat rescue where I fostered kittens and adult cats … some with health issues and some with behavioral issues. I have also volunteered cat sitting for friends in the past.
“Mooney is a fantastic sitter! He took great care of our cat while we were gone on vacation. He goes the extra mile to connect with your pet and make them feel comfortable and safe. He is very responsive and quick to respond to messages. We felt at ease knowing Mooney was watching our baby. We highly recommend Mooney and will definitely look forward to using his services again in the future!”
“Dylan was fantastic with our dogs! We had never used this service before and Dylan put all of our worries at ease. He was fun to be around and we received so many updates and pictures of the dogs and turtle, it made being away so much easier. The next time we leave on vacation, Dylan will be the first one we call on to take care of our babies!!”
“I am a very happy repeat client of Shelby’s! She is excellent with my senior kitty and has gone above and beyond for us. She gives great updates and pictures. I would be delighted to hire her again.”
About: I have taken care of cats for many years and am very much a cat person. I have experience with cats of any age, from kittens to seniors. I have experience giving medication to cats, training cats (my own cat knows several commands and I am willing to work with your cat on some as well if you’d like!), as well as the general feeding, playing with, and grooming cats. I have taken care of breeds of all kinds with different needs, as well as cats requiring daily medications or with special needs.
About: -Kennel walker and care provider for 2 years -K9 School Dog trainer apprenticeship program -Several years of dog walking experience -Experience with Large Dog breed and care I have a now 1 year old Corgi and a very talkative and loving 6 year old Husky, I’ve always had a passion for dogs and am looking to work with them as much as I can. Currently I have a backyard and I love to have hands on play time with my current pets. I like to spend lots of one on one time with my own dog and love to do so with others. I love meeting new dogs to see new personalities, I try to make sure that every dog feels safe, comfortable and just as happy as I am to meet them and care for them.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, versatility, and special skills. Not only do I currently dog sit and house sit for three families on an as-needed basis, but I also bring a wealth of experience in handling dogs of all ages and needs. I’m skilled at training puppies, which includes basic obedience and socialization techniques. Additionally, I’m comfortable with senior dogs, providing them with extra care and attention to meet their specific health and mobility needs. My commitment to understanding each dog’s unique personality and routine ensures they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. I currently work full-time in a community-based job where I have the flexibility to create my own schedule. I like to tailor my schedule around my needs for the week, with weekends being when I have the most availability. My current families prefer that I stay in their home, and I’m open to doing the same with other families as well When caring for pets in my client's home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines the family has established. I ensure pets are fed on time, given fresh water, and get the appropriate amount of exercise and attention. I also monitor their health, administer any needed medications, and keep the environment safe and clean. If there are specific needs or requests for the pets, I prioritize those to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in the absence of their owners
“Jenna was great for checking in on my pup while I was at work! She took lots of photos and a video of their time at the park. It’s easy to tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of pets and spending time with them. I’ll definitely continue having her take care of my pets!”
About: In addition to caring for my own cats, I often help friends and neighbors with their pets when they travel. They trust me to keep their cats safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away — which has given me more experience with different personalities and routines. The services I provide are designed to give both pets and owners peace of mind. I can: Visit your home for feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, and quality playtime. Provide overnight care in your home or mine. In my house, I’ve set up a special space for visiting cats — cozy, safe, and fully equipped with food, water, toys, and a clean litter box. Offer enrichment and companionship, whether your cat loves to play, cuddle, or simply needs a calm presence. Give oral or topical medication if your cat requires it. I understand that every cat has a unique personality. Some are playful, others are shy or senior cats who need extra patience. My goal is to make each cat feel comfortable and cared for as if they were my own.
“Absolutely amazing! Being my first experience I was a little nervous but, immediately felt comfortable when I saw the way my dogs were around her. Pics and updates were great allowing me to feel free to enjoy my trip. 100% would recommend and do this again..”
“McKenzie was so kind to watch our spicy meatball of a cat on short notice. She provided great daily updates, was very communicative and on time, and allowed us to really be able to relax on vacation knowing Poe was well taken care of. We are so thankful for her and will absolutely use her again!”

“Wonderful experience! My dog was in great hands. The sitter was responsible, attentive, and very caring. They kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell my pup felt safe and happy the whole time. Communication was easy and smooth, and it’s clear they truly love animals. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again.”
“Grisel always treats my girl like real family. Always considerate and understanding, and has helped take the very best care of her. She always gets excited when we pull up because she knows she will be loved and have a good time. Highly recommend.”
“Sade responded very quick on a Saturday night for a Sunday morning booking. My shy pup was well taken care , safe and sound! Sade updated me with photos of her settling in throughout the day. Sade and her family are a responsible, loving pet haven. We will be back!”
“Jacqueline set up a meet and greet right away to make sure Mack was a good fit before taking him in, which was a great sign that she is experienced. Rating of 5 stars due to her taking him in last minute when we really needed a sitter to help till he's fully vaccinated. Also, our first day for pick up we were 10 minutes late due to unforeseen traffic issue coming from Ranch Cordova and she was totally understanding. Puppies are a heavy lift, requiring a lot of personalized care. Jacqueline's kindness and flexibility were greatly appreciated!”
About: I offer personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs. With experience in training puppies and caring for senior pets, I ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for every furry friend. Your pet will receive the attention and care they deserve in a safe, loving environment I'm working part time from home and will be more than happy to spend time with your pet while you're away! My schedule is flexible and I am available for dog walking, pet sitting, or even just dropping in for some playtime and cuddles. I have fenced yard in apartments also have park in 2 min walk from my home, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Additionally, I have experience with both small and large dogs, including breeds such as Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and more.
About: Hello, we are Natalie & Chau. I, Natalie, was a teacher who is certified in CPR. I have my bachelors in psychology and worked as a supervisor and teacher for developmentally disabled adults and teenagers. However my passion had always been about animals ever since I was 5 years old. So now I am living my dream surrounded by animals of all kinds! Both my partner and I work from home so there is always someone home and it’s double the fun! My family and I are well versed in dog training methods and are very well adapted towards handling multiple dogs at once. We live on a mini 1 acre farm so your dogs can experience a mini vacation/retreat while they’re here. It is also very therapeutic for dogs who have anxiety as we have small farm animals and our garden for them to enjoy. On days when the weather is good we like to be in the yard to play off-leash and they can spend time with my dogs indoors as well. During the afternoon we stay indoors and then they will spend the night with me in my room. There will be naps involved and lots of love! We have just moved three years ago and we are finally reopen to new doggy friends from around the area. We are not doing in house meet and greets due to safety reasons but we can meet you at the local park nearby! I’m home all the time so they would be with me 24/7 unless I’m out on an errand. I will not ever leave dogs alone in the car without me. I have an acre of fenced yard. If your dog is more of a hunter than a lover of small animals such as a chicken we would be leashed to walk around the property. There is plenty of space!
“Nicole was and is very accommodating and genuinely comes off as an animal lover which was very wonderful to find. It’s not easy leaving your fur babies with strangers but she went out of her way to make mine feel welcome and make sure that she didn’t overwhelm him. I fully plan on using her services again and would wholeheartedly recommend her if any of you are interested in a good dog sitter.”
“Fabulous, first time daycare experience for my 9 month old puppy. I would recommend Irvin and Susan to anyone who is looking for a true home environment, after searching high and low I am pleased to have found such a great vacation home for my puppy!”
About: I started volunteering at the Antioch Animal Shelter in the 4th grade. Since then I have volunteered at numerous shelters and rescues, including the emergency animal shelter in Oroville after the Camp Fire. I'm Disaster Animal Rescue Team (D.A.R.T.) trained, animal CPR and first aid certified, and have years of TNR experience. I have had many exotics as pets, including a reef tank at one time. I have no issue feeding crickets and worms, but I can't feed snakes rodents. I'm a lifelong vegetarian, so that would traumatize me. Lol. I also love rodents, and currently have 2 rescue guinea pigs. Animal care and nutrition are a passion of mine. I'm also an expert teeth brusher! I brush my cats and dogs teeth every night and some of my pet sits as well. I'm very experienced giving medication, even pills to cats and my recently adopted cat Ricky is diabetic. Two of my regular cats I sit take meds, and one gets insulin injections, so I'm very comfortable with both and also know how to check blood glucose. Animals are allowed on the furniture in my home, even the bed. A couple of dogs I regularly sit sleep in the bed with me and my dogs. I treat other people's furbabies the way I would want my furbabies treated. I'm a helicopter pet parent so I totally understand how hard it is to trust someone with the ones you love. If I ever thought something was wrong with your pet I would notify you asap, and I have no issue taking an animal to the vet. I have a rescue dog who has occasional seizures and a rescue kitty with kidney disease that I give sub-q fluids to every day, so I am very comfortable with special needs animals. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to pet care. I actually have a pet thermometer and carry a microchip reader in my truck with an extra leash. You'd be surprised how many times I've used that chip reader! Being a helicopter pet parent I NEVER EVER leave an animal outside alone, not even in my fenced in yard. I don't take chances. I'm also obsessively clean, so your litter box will not be a hot mess when you return, and if your dog uses a potty pad no problem. I also have waterproof vinyl plank flooring so accidents and kitty puke is easy to clean up. :-D. When I board animals it is very much mi casa esu casa! I'm also more than happy to water plants when I do drop-ins as well, since I have them myself and am also a gardener. :-) I work from home 3 days a week and the other 2 days I come home for lunch since the office is only 2.5 miles from my house. I'm home most weekends as well. I follow the care instructions to the letter. If your pup requires a crate it must be brought with them, since mine are not crated. I am comfortable giving medication and supplements, measuring food, following a raw food diet, feeding exotics, etc. I'm also comfortable grooming for an extra fee, but will never ignore a mat in their fur or charge extra for daily grooming like toothbrushing.
“Miya was very kind with Kono. He is very active for a near 2 year old, and she kept up with his energy. She modified her care plan to suit his needs, more walks and play - she learned of his obsession with balls. He inherited the traits of a working dog in a small package, and he definitely worked Miya. Thanks for being patient and caring for my furbaby.”
About: My husband and I live in Roseville, CA. Both of us work from home. We have a 4-year-old Goldendoodle at home. He is sweet and will be friend with any dog big or small. I was always fascinated by dogs as a child and that grew into love as an adult. I love all kinds of dogs and care for them as family. We are currently working from home and we take dogs out for walks several times a day and spend time with them in our backyard. During my breaks, I play with them and it works as a stress buster for me as well. We have a large backyard for your dogs to run around with at least a 6' tall all-around fence and a gate with a lock. I am also comfortable with them chilling in the house and my dog usually gives me company while I am attending meetings from home. I can also crate them if you prefer or if they find comfort being in their crates
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've cared for my own dogs as well as those belonging to friends, family members, and rescue organizations. I am currently volunteering as a transport driver for NorCal Boxer Rescue and Gettin' Home Transport, giving me experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to gentle giants like St. Bernards, I've worked with a wide variety of dogs and understand that each one has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. My goal is always to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while they're in my care. I am retired after 42 years with the federal government. I spend most of my time at home with my retired husband, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Aside from occasional errands, I’m available to ensure your dog(s) receives consistent care and affection. Our home is designed with dogs' comfort in mind. We have a large, grassy, fully fenced backyard and a dog door that allows dogs to come and go freely at their own pace. In addition, I regularly take dogs outside for potty breaks throughout their stay. Dogs are treated like family here and are welcome on the furniture and beds. We provide pet stairs to help them safely access couches and beds, making them feel as comfortable as they would in their own home. Daily walks are offered during the cooler parts of the day, typically in the early morning and again in the late afternoon or evening. Providing a safe, secure, and loving environment is my top priority. Our large, fenced backyard offers plenty of space for exercise, play, and relaxation. We also share our home with two friendly, long-haired, five-year-old Dachshunds who enjoy the company of visiting dogs. We strive to maintain a calm, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can settle in comfortably and enjoy their stay. We provide extra dog beds for guests, and if your dog prefers or requires a crate, you're welcome to bring your own. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddling on the couch, relaxing in the yard, or simply being around caring people, they'll receive personalized attention and plenty of love while you're away.

About: I bring dependable, hands-on pet care with experience ranging from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I can reinforce basic puppy training, provide gentle care for older pets, administer simple medications, and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy it. I plan my days around walks, feeding times, and play sessions, ensuring pets always feel prioritized.

About: I have always had a passion for animals, and I even have a few pets of my own! I have 5 cats between my sister and I, and they have the biggest variety of personalities. I took a break from pet care due to moving and job changes throughout the years but I’ve always loved caring for people’s pet babies. I used to work as a Dog Camp Counselor back in my hometown, and that was one of the most rewarding experiences to date. Family, friends, and friends of friends always come to me when they’re in need to pet sitting or caring, and rest assured the care of your loved one is always in the forefront of my mind. My current schedule is very flexible to even the earliest of times, so don’t be afraid to reach out! I live in Fairfield but have no issue driving to neighboring cities. I prefer to go to clients’ homes, and with that I make sure to obtain detailed instruction on how to care for their furry friends
About: I grew up on a farm, animals galore. I was always with the animals, they are incredible companions, as well as teachers. I have been on the birthing end of Dogs, Birds, Fish, Turtles Horses, Cows and sheep. Unfortunately I have been on the departure side as well. My love of animals is only second to my love of Life. When your pets are under my care, rest assured that I will act as an extension of you. I also have a very extensive medical education, no not vetinary, but this is the one time I am glad they can't talk. People give way to much information, where as animal will give you indications as to the possible problems. It has been my experience that diet is usually the culprit, but not always. Thanks from one Animal Lover to their Owners. half of the question is blocked so I am not sure what I am describing? i think its asking how does pet care fit into my schedule. it's part of the job. make sure all exits are secure, and that water and food are available, for cats, I would check their box for clumps. Any other critters would be treated according to there familial traits.
About: *** Re-activated my account as I took a break from dog sitting. I’m happy to be back because I missed doing it💜*** I absolutely love dogs. Anytime I see dogs in public I stop to interact with them! I love all kinds and any kinds of dogs. I grew up with taking care of animals and ever since then I've always had more than one pet to take care of. I am open to do medication for dogs since I have experience with giving shots for a diabetic dog. I am open to dog walking, teaching tricks, and training. I am available to let dogs out potty every hour and make sure they are set on their food schedule. I will also make sure they are let out right away in the morning and before bed time. I will treat your dog as my own. I will make sure they get love and attention and provide daily updates of your fur baby. New clients- ask about my promo code in your booking to save***
“He watched our dog while we were out of town for four days and he was reliable and communicated with us during each visit. He sent photos of our pup on each visit and also fed and filled his water bowl. We will definitely be booking him again in the future. Thank you, Cedric.”
“Shelby feels like family. I asked her to stop by so I could introduce her to Lala and walk her through the routine. She was on time, and she made me feel very comfortable. She was at ease with Lala, who is almost blind, and somewhat stand offish. She is definitely, a keeper!”
About: I’ve grown up with (and pet sat) tons of different animals! I can work with dogs, cats, horses, goats/sheep, birds, reptiles, rodents, you name it!

“This was Sonjia’s first time walking our dog, Nico, and she did a wonderful job. She took him on two walks on Thursday and another on Friday, and she was punctual, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout. Nico responded really well to her right away. He is an older dog and the heat can tire him out quickly. He came back from each walk tired in a good way, and it was clear she handled him with care and attention. We felt very comfortable trusting her with him and would happily book her again.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, with four cats and three dogs of my own, plus many homeless pets I feed and protect daily. I offer loving senior‑pet support, gentle handling, medication help, and truly attentive care. Every animal — shy, sweet, or tough‑attitude — is treated like cherished family, and their comfort and well‑being are always my priority. I work remotely, which allows me to care for pets throughout the day with constant attention and flexibility. I’m home and available for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, senior‑pet support, and comforting anxious animals. My schedule revolves around keeping pets safe, happy, and cared for from morning to night. I keep a calm, secure environment by supervising pets closely, maintaining clean spaces, and following each pet’s routine exactly. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I ensure doors and gates stay secure, feeding and potty areas stay sanitized, and every pet feels protected and understood. I watch for stress signals, handle medications carefully, and prioritize each animal’s comfort and well‑being.

She was very sweet and understanding thats why when i needed a sitter she wss the first person i contacted. Ceecee has very bad speration anxiety and this was my first time leaving her with someone she didnt know. I called and texted a million times she never missed not one call or text and made me feel at easy everytime. My dog also have pancreatitis She have a special diet she followed all food instructions i gave her .. Ceecee was smiling the whole time she was with her and she dont do that with anyone. Anything i asked her to do with CeeCee she always said "Sure, no problem" she is very good with communication and easy to talk to . She also have a dog Nova is so sweet and was also glad she was there to keep her company then another dog came over and it was a slumber party. She even took all three walking at once multiple times and took multiple pictures and videos with CeeCee smiling the whole time and let her sleep in her room with her which was amazing and when CeeCee needed her space from the other dogs she made sure she had it. Over all she was the perfect sitter .She made feel very comfortable with her watching CeeCee I am using her everytime I need a sitter. I would give her 100 stars if I could. She was the best! I couldnt ask for a better sitter. Thank you Reginay 😊.”

I would highly recommend Victoria and will be returning in the future. Thank you Victoria for taking such good care of Sasha.”

Waiting to see this tattoo design.”
