“Jen and her husband are the best! Top three reasons we liked them so much: 1. They were so sweet to our pup and seemed to really enjoy her company. 2. They asked great questions before we dropped off, worked with us to plan a meet up beforehand, and kept us updated on how our pup was doing. 3. Their home is peaceful, clean, and I felt confident our pup would be safe.”

“Kelsey was amazing with our 1.5 year old doodle Leia. She clearly loves animals and treated Leia as one of her own dogs. Kelsey communicated throughout and sent updates and pictures during Leia’s stay. We will absolutely use her again next time!”


“We are so fortunate to have found Grant! He is an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our Great Dane! He spends a lot of time with the dogs, exercising them and taking really good care of them. Our favorite part about Riley going to " Camp Grant" is he sends us pictures or videos daily. Riley can't wait to go back!”

“Kazue is the caregiver of our dreams ! A caring , pup pampering, diligent communicator. Our pups were excited and relaxed at our meet and greet and returned for their first stay tugging at their leashes to go back . They got daily walks, a nice shaded grassy yard to romp around, and Kazue provided frequent pictures and updates. At the end of their stay our boys were excited to see us, but also stopped to give goodbye kisses to Kazue🥰 as We know they will miss her and be happy to return .”

“Cedric was honestly one of the best sitters I have ever used on Rover! He was so flexible in drop off and pick up, communicated very well and gave my boy Nitro all the attention he needed. He treated my dog like a part of the family. I would 100% use Cedric again without a doubt!”

“Sarah (and her wonderful daughters) went above and beyond caring for our fur babies! Leaving your pets behind is always tough, but Sarah made it completely worry-free. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent the sweetest photo updates that totally brightened our days. Our dogs absolutely adored her and her family—they looked so incredibly happy, relaxed, and loved in every single picture. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly treats your pets like their own. Sarah is reliable, communicative, and exceptionally kind. We cannot recommend her highly effects and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Lemieux had the best time with Erin and her family. He and their dog Melvin became the best of friends. Having him stay the night for multiple days with her dogs gave Lemieux the confidence booster he really needed as a young puppy. He was shy around other dogs but after staying with Erin he is so happy and excited to meet other dogs. At the end of everyday we received an update on how things were going and pictures of Lemieux which really eased my anxiety since this was the first time we were leaving him. I would rebook Erin for our next trip. Thank you so much Erin!”

“Ruby does a great job and communicates well. The pictures and videos sent daily are wonderful. I would recommend Ruby for dog care and we hope to use Ruby’s service again on future needs.”

“Alesya was wonderful and so kind! I felt comforted knowing Charm would be in her care for 3 days. Charm came back worn out! So I know he had a great time! Thank you Alesya!”

“Initially I felt bad dropping my dog off, he was super nervous when I left but Achara helped him get settled in and kept me updated on how he was adjusting. She provided regular pictures so I could see him enjoying his time with new puppy friends and enjoying laying in the yard in the sun! I’m grateful for the compassionate care and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”


“Christany and her family were an absolute delight! She was super accommodating and accepted my request just a few days before my trip and I was so grateful! She did an amazing job with my 2 year old frenchie, Wellington. He must’ve had a blast because he didn’t want to leave! Her children were amazing with him and gave him lots of attention and walks, and Christany did a great job of monitoring the dog/cat interactions to make sure everyone was safe which I greatly appreciated as my dog had never been around cats before. I can’t recommend Christany and her family enough! I seriously felt so at ease leaving my dog with her and received frequent photo and message updates during my trip. 1000/10 recommend!”

“Allie was absolutely fantastic with our anxious pup, Shiloh! She showed incredible patience with Shiloh’s anxiety, creating an environment where our nervous girl felt safe and comfortable.What impressed us most was her adaptability and patience not only with Shiloh but also with us. We had several unforeseen incidents during our international trip (i.e., communication difficulties) that would have annoyed even a saint, but she handled everything like a true professional, always maintaining a positive, friendly attitude. Her communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and addressing any concerns promptly. We loved that her three kids love to play with dogs! They all helped out with Shiloh, giving her plenty of attention and playtime, which was wonderful for her socialization. Seeing how much her whole family enjoyed interacting with our dog made us feel even more comfortable leaving her in their care. It’s clear they genuinely love dogs and know how to work with different personalities and needs.I can’t recommend Allie (and her family) highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable, patient, and skilled dog sitter, especially if your pup has special needs or anxiety issues. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


“First I must say I do not like boarding my baby Gracie at all. I needed to find some way I could board my Gracie that was not a kennel so I could be confident my baby would be well taken care of so I could enjoy my travel. Found Rover.com and decided to give it a try. Started searching the sitters & I found Irvin & Susan. The reviews were great so decided to do a meet and greet. Everything about the atmosphere was great as was Susan. Booked a short stay to see how it worked out. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures of how Gracie was doing. When I picked up Gracie she was her happy self & when we got home there was no sulking as there has been with a kennel. Fortunately, Irvin & Susan enjoyed by Gracie too. I look forward to using Irvin & Susan again next year when I go on my cruise and be able to enjoy my time knowing Gracie will be well taken care of. Thank You Irvin & Susan.”


“Melissa was such a wonderful sitter for my pup! From the start, I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. I loved receiving daily updates with photos and videos. It made me so happy to see her tail wagging, going on walks, and playing. It was clear she was not only well cared for but also genuinely enjoying her time. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter who is both reliable and caring!”

“Jena and her family took the absolute best care of our dog, Juno. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. They treated her like one of their own, and it showed. Juno was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We had total peace of mind while we were away, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jena again. Highly recommend!”

“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”

“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!”

“Rebekka was amazing with my cat and dog. I could just tell by the photos she sent us how much they loved having her company. She went above and beyond with everything, especially communication. You can trust her with your fur babies!”


“You can tell Benjamin really care about your fur babies. One of our cats can be a little bit difficult to deal with when it comes to eating his food but Benjamin went out of his way to accommodate his needs. Highly recommended!”


“Christina provided excellent care for our cat while we were on a two week vacation. She left our home in impeccable condition and even put fresh sheets on our bed. She communicated clearly and regularly. She sent pictures of our fur baby while we were away because she knew that we missed him. We highly recommend Christina.”


About: There hasn’t been a time in my life when I didn’t have a companion animal, and cats have always held a massive place in my heart. I have extensive experience owning, fostering, and sitting cats of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds—from energetic kittens to independent seniors. I know that cats are creatures of habit who thrive on consistency, and I pride myself on stepping in to provide a seamless routine, picking up exactly where you left off so your cat feels safe and secure while you're away. I know that cats operate on their own terms. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who craves constant chin scratches, or a shy hider who needs space and a quiet environment, I read their body language and respect their boundaries. I never force interaction, allowing them to warm up to me naturally.

“Carla was absolutely wonderful with our kitty, Kiki! We were traveling last‑minute and were so nervous to leave her, but Carla eased all of our worries right away. She communicated constantly, sent thoughtful updates, and showed so much genuine care for Kiki. She went above and beyond—cleaned up litter, managed an ant situation, refreshed food and water, and made sure Kiki got tons of love and attention every visit. Kiki adored her, and we came home to a happy, relaxed cat. We are so grateful for her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would 100% trust her with Kiki again. Highly recommend Carla!”

“Lez did a wonderful job cat and house sitting while we were out of town for the week. There was easy communication via text while we were away. Our senior cat enjoyed her company and care. We returned to a well kept home and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Lez’s services again.”

“Jennifer and family were great!! I think they went above and beyond to care for our dog Chewie while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. I would highly recommend her and will book her again when needed!! Thanks Jennifer💕”


About: I’ve cared for cats for family, friends, and neighbors, helping with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats, and check-ins. I understand that cats can have very different personalities and may need time to feel comfortable with someone new, so I’m patient and respectful of their space while building trust with them. I’m attentive to their routines and behavior and make sure they receive plenty of care, companionship, and affection. I’m also comfortable caring for cats of different ages and energy levels, including giving extra attention to senior or more timid cats. My goal is to make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I have experience caring for both typical and special needs dogs. My dog who has sadly passed was epileptic and had seizures regularly. My other dog had severe skin issues and allergies. She was regularly medicated and had to be fed a special diet. As a dog owner myself, I am familiar with dog behavior and understanding that there are special cases out there that may require more attention. I am also a plant mom and excellent house guest. My area will always be kept tidy and how you left it when you return. Please feel free to message me with any questions! I am currently in law school (online) and I work as a substitute teacher part time, so I am afforded a balanced schedule so that I can provide you with my services as well. Most weeks and weekends, I have open availability! I want my care of your pets to be as if you never left their side. I am communicative, transparent and intentional as a pet owner and pet sitter. I am an active person who loves to hangout with animals. I enjoy a good movie and a good meal, or a hike.
About: I’ve had animals in my house ver since I can remember, but I got my own doggo 3 years ago! I live with my boyfriend who has 4 other dogs, I care for them daily. I work part time right now so I have plenty of time to tend to your doggo! I don’t do boarding due to having 5 dogs at home. I am willing to talk about overnight stays. I will tend to your dogs needs as needed, if you have a fenced yard we will be there! If no then I will gladly take them for a walk around the neighborhood or to a park nearby! I don’t do car rides or onboarding.
About: Hi, I’m Sierra! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby and started officially caring for animals when I was just 10. Since then, I’ve looked after all sorts of pets—dogs, cats, birds, and even bunnies! Right now, I have three wonderful dogs (two energetic huskies and a lovable golden retriever) and two cats (a playful ragdoll and a curious tabby). So, trust me when I say I understand how important it is to know your pets are being loved and well cared for when you’re not around. I know each animal is unique, and I love getting to know their personalities—whether it’s a quick walk to get them moving, a drop-in visit for some playtime, or an overnight stay where they need extra attention. I work very part-time, which gives me the flexibility to be there for your pet when they need me. Plus, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—they’re my happy place, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether you have a playful puppy that needs to burn off some energy or a laid-back senior dog who just wants some company, I’ve got the experience to make sure they’re getting exactly what they need. I’m here to make your life easier and ensure your pets are well taken care of—like they’re part of my own family! :) I work part time so I can be almost full availability besides a few 4 hour shifts a week, besides that I can be with the animals full time! I will do whatever means necessary to ensure your animals safety! Whatever works with you will work with me. I’m very flexible and easy to work with !

About: There hasn’t been a time in my life when I didn’t have an animal by my side. I have extensive, hands-on experience owning, fostering, sitting, and walking all kinds of animals. I truly understand that every pet has a unique personality and set of needs, and I pride myself on stepping in to provide seamless, consistent care—picking up exactly where you left off. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, strict medical/routine management, or just gentle, attentive companionship, I am here to provide peace of mind. Whatever you and your animals need, I'm your girl! I work full-time providing home care for adults with mental health and developmental disabilities. Because my shifts can be non-traditional, clear communication is my absolute priority to ensure your pet's schedule is perfectly maintained. I keep my Rover calendar strictly updated with my work hours so you always know my exact availability before booking. If an 8-hour shift overlaps with your needed care times, we will discuss a seamless game plan beforehand to ensure your pet is fully looked after. Outside of my shift hours, I put focus on pet care. My background makes me highly routine-oriented, meaning I am incredibly reliable when it comes to early morning check-ins, evening walks, or overnight sitting blocks. I believe every pet deserves the perfect fit. If my work schedule ever conflicts with what your pet needs, I will be completely transparent upfront so you can find the best match for them. If we are a match, you can count on absolute reliability, consistent updates, and a dedicated sitter who treats your schedule—and your pet—with total respect! Whether I am caring for your pet in the comfort of your own home or hosting them with me, safety and open communication are my absolute top priorities. I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect, ensuring a secure, low-stress environment. I strictly follow your household rules, feeding schedules, and medication timelines. Keeping their environment consistent prevents anxiety while you are away.

About: With a lifetime of experience around animals and the last 7 years being dedicated to hands-on pet care, I've decided to put my passion and love for animals into full-time pet sitting. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat in the home, most of my pets throughout my life have been rescues. My german shepherd that was rescued 7 years ago really brought out my passion for working with animals. I have experience with a range of breeds, ages, sizes, personalities, high-maintenance care, medical care, you name it! I'm not just a dog or cat person, I'm an animal lover. The pets we bring into our homes are family, and I strive to make sure all feel comfortable and content. I promise to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for your furry (or scaly, feathery, hairless) friends. I’m currently dedicating myself to pet sitting full-time so I have plenty of time to spend with your loved ones! I’m available 7 days a week, anytime you need—day or night! Your pets needs and wellbeing is top priority. I will always ensure basic needs are met first such as food, water, medication, bathroom breaks, etc. Boundaries are very important to me and I will make sure to never cross them, please make me aware of any and all!
“We’ve just decided to make a standing appointment for dog walks w/ Wes. Our pup now knows when we tell him Wes is coming and he gets sooo excited!! THANK YOU, Wes, for being such an awesome buddy for our baby!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through owning and looking after two of my own. I understand the importance of providing regular exercise, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also volunteered at FieldHaven for five months, where I cared for cats and gained experience meeting the needs of animals in a safe and compassionate environment. I genuinely enjoy connecting with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently not working so I have a pretty flexible schedule and I am basically free whenever. Walking animals fits perfectly into my routine because I enjoy going on walks myself so why not take a furry friend along with me 🤗. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to help them feel happy and secure.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life—from growing up with family pets to caring for my own as an adult—giving me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of their needs, behavior, and personalities. I’m a true dog-person and absolutely love being around them—they bring so much joy and companionship to everyday life. Sadly, I’ve had two of my own dogs pass away after living long, happy lives, but through that, I’ve gained valuable experience in providing the special care and attention older dogs often need. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. 💞 First time using Rover? Use this link before you book for $20.00 off: https://www.rover.com/sit/rubyb72826 Furthermore, I’m a Registered Nurse (who stays home full-time with my kids now)… however, I have experience administering medications to pets and will ensure your doggie gets any needed medicine while you’re away. I love caring for humans and pets alike, and would love to walk and/or board your sweet fur-babe while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom with a lovable Shih Tzu of my own, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and already spend lots of time walking, playing, and giving attention to my dog—so welcoming your furry friend into our routine comes naturally and with lots of love. At our home, every fur-babe is welcomed like a member of our family. Upon arrival, they’ll be given time to explore and settle in comfortably, at their own pace. I strive to create a warm, stress-free environment filled with cozy nooks, comfy beds, and plenty of playtime in our large back yard. The neighborhood also has a large park I can walk them to for some exercise and extra sunshine. I’ll ensure they have a familiar routine and are given lots of attention, from gentle belly rubs, to snuggles on the couch. I love sending photos and updates to keep you connected! You can rest assured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and surrounded by love while you’re away. Pets can sleep in an enclosed area with blankets and a bed or in a crate, if preferred.
About: I've had the pleasure of loving and taking care of furbabies of all sizes for 20 years. I first started pet sitting for an acquaintance in 2005. Later, when I became established in the area as a trusted house cleaner, I started pet sitting for some of my clients and their friends. Sadly, I lost all my clients and contacts save one in the Camp Fire as my client base was in Paradise and Magalia. Since then, I have taken care of my own little furbabies and ever so often cared for the Chihuahua/Pug/Terrier mix of the one remaining client from Paradise. Within the years that I was actively pet sitting, I took care of dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Whippets. I am excited to once again assist you with your pet sitting needs and ensure the best attention is given to your dog’s health, happiness, and well-being! For my clients in Paradise and Magalia, I did both drop-ins and overnight stays. (My favorite memory was staying with two little lovely Dachsies for three weeks!) I made sure each pet I took care of was fed as per the instructions given to me and that they had access to fresh, clean water. Whether it’s maintaining a regular meal routine or making sure your pet stays hydrated throughout the day, I prioritize comfort and health for all furbabies in my care. I also have experience administering medications, whether oral or topical, and am dedicated to ensuring your pets specific medical needs are met with precision and care. I know personally the importance of a vet's instructions and the proper maintenance of a consistent medication routine. I also know the importance of exercise in keeping a pet happy and healthy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous activity, I am happy to ensure that your pet gets the exercise and playtime they need! Above all, each dog that I have taken care of I have treated as part of my family. I look forward to providing your furbaby with the same love, attention, and care that I have given to my past clients and to my own pets! My schedule has changed and is more open during the work week. I currently have a day job between the hours of 12:30PM and 2:30PM, Monday through Friday. My hours can be flexible with this day job. I am available early morning and some evenings during the work week. My schedule changes, on occasion, in the evenings Monday through Friday. My weekends are fully free and am available for pet sitting, dog walking and drop-ins all day on Saturday and Sunday. For any pet in my care, whether it has been a client's pet or my own, I have always ensured that they have gotten plenty of love and quality care. For past clients, I adhered to all instructions given pertaining to feeding time, exercise and medications if applicable. I made sure there were plenty of cuddles and that every pet in my care felt safe and secure.

“I couldn't be more pleased with Benjamin's exceptional dog walking services. He walked my beloved dog, Ty Chi, for a week twice a day, and the care and attention he provides are truly outstanding. From the very first walk, it was evident that Benjamin has a genuine passion for dogs. He takes the time to understand my dog's unique needs and personality, ensuring that Ty Chi always feels comfortable and happy. Benjamin's care for details is remarkable—he meticulously follows all instructions regarding Ty Chi's specific needs. He even takes the time to update me with photos and notes after each walk, which I greatly appreciate. Punctuality is another one of Benjamin's strengths. He has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives on time, ready to give Ty Chi the exercise and attention he needs. This reliability gives me peace of mind, knowing that my dog is in capable and trustworthy hands. What truly sets Benjamin apart is his attention to detail. He notices the little things that make a big difference, such as adjusting the leash to ensure Ty Chi's comfort to make the walk even more enjoyable. His thoughtful approach shows how much he cares about the dogs he walks. I highly recommend Benjamin to anyone in need of a dog walker who is not only professional and reliable but also genuinely cares about the well-being of your pet. Ty Chi and I are incredibly grateful for Benjamin's outstanding service and look forward to many more walks together!”

About: Proud dog mom and foster dog mom 🤍 my husband and I love helping out our local rescues by fostering as often as we can. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, starting with my first family dog when I was just six years old. Growing up, my family raised a variety of breeds, from a tiny Yorkie to a massive English Mastiff, as well as a lovable Labrador. I’ve always had a deep love for dogs, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets—whether it’s dog sitting, walking, or simply keeping them company while they’re away. One of my proudest achievements is the training my husband and I have done with our own dog, Ziti. We’ve dedicated time to researching and practicing different training methods, successfully teaching her basic obedience commands like sit, stay, lay down, and paw, as well as fun tricks like “between” (where she sits between our legs), “search,” “high ten,” and even “jump.” I believe every dog is capable of learning with the right approach, patience, and consistency. Training methods may vary depending on the dog, but I take pride in working with each one individually to help them build confidence and master new skills. I’m excited to share my knowledge and experience to help your dog thrive! I am available throughout the week, some evenings throughout the week, as well as on the weekends. I especially enjoy taking our pup out in the mornings during the week and having a family day with my fiance too on the weekends and getting to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. It would truly make myself and Ziti (our dog) so happy to be able to share that experience! I crate train my dog at my house as she has been crate trained since she was little. I designate certain blankets, areas on the couch, and places throughout the house that our dog is allowed on and make sure that I clarify if there is a similar standard in a client’s home.

I know how to keep structure but have fun! I love giving treats but will ensure healthy diet and exercise! I believe in balance and treating your family the way that you would treat them yourself! I am organized and will keep an accurate record of your pets care so that you never have to wonder what or when you need to Do your pets next feeding, medications, or potty breaks!
About: Hi, I’m Sierra! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby and started officially caring for animals when I was just 10.

So, trust me when I say I understand how important it is to know your pets are being loved and well cared for when you’re not around. I know each animal is unique, and I love getting to know their personalities—whether it’s a quick walk to get them moving, a drop-in visit for some playtime, or an overnight stay where they need extra attention. I work very part-time, which gives me the flexibility to be there for your pet when they need me. Plus, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—they’re my happy place, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy.

“Jen and her husband are the best! Top three reasons we liked them so much: 1. They were so sweet to our pup and seemed to really enjoy her company. 2. They asked great questions before we dropped off, worked with us to plan a meet up beforehand, and kept us updated on how our pup was doing. 3. Their home is peaceful, clean, and I felt confident our pup would be safe.”

I’m grateful for the compassionate care and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”

“Jena and her family took the absolute best care of our dog, Juno. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands.
