“Irvine and Susan took great care of my fur baby. Great home and yard for my Yorkie. Kept me updated and flexible when we were delayed coming back. Would recommend to friends and family.”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little anxious about leaving Bentley with someone I didn’t know. She really helped ease my worries from the start. She even let me stop by earlier in the week to meet her and make sure it would be a good fit, which I really appreciated. Bentley stayed with her for three nights and seemed to do great! She kept me updated with photos during his stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. He came home happy and seemed to have been well cared for. I’m so glad we found her and would definitely have Bentley stay with her again!”
“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!”
“Nicole went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and well adjusted to her home. She also went above and beyond with communicating with me! I’ll be booking again!”
“We had such a great experience with Grant. He took such good care of my baby, she even came home with better manners than she had when she went to him. Kyra stayed with Grant and his pack for a whole week and the whole time I received updates and pictures of all the fun she was having. After picking her up, Kyra was exhausted which is hard to achieve. My dog had so much fun with the other animals and everyday I received pictures of her daily adventures. His goal is to tire them out and make you feel comfortable about leaving them. I will definitely be using Grant in the future. Thank you, Grant!”
“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.”
“Melissa took very good care of Chewie. . Melissa sent multiple photos of chewie during her two days stay with her. Chewie looked so happy and relaxed. We are really glad that we found Melissa through Rover. We will certainly use her services again in future.”
“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!”
“I can’t recommend Kazue enough! She takes only one dog (or one family) at a time, which is a huge plus for a dog like Butter who doesn’t do well around other pets/dogs. Kazue updated me with photos and videos at least 3 times a day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely have her board Butter again. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, Kazue is the one!”
“Jackie is wonderful. Our pup Peaches told us what an awesome time she had playing with other dogs, running running, running in the back yard even kids to love her. Seriously we were kept up to date and didn’t have any concerns about her welfare. Jackie even helped with some of her potty training. We definitely recommend her!”
“Erin is amazing! She’s been our go to sitter. One of our pups has anxiety when it comes to fireworks/firecrackers. She let him sleep in bed with her until he calmed down and fell asleep. We love Erin!”
“5/5! Achara had great communication and she was amazing with my puppy! My puppy didn't even look back at me when I dropped him off 🫠 Photo updates made me feel at ease and she reassured me that he was doing well. Will definitely rebook with her when I need a sitter again!”
“My dog did wonderfully with Kirsten! I've tried a few different boarding options and Kirsten is by far the best! She sent a daily update to let me know how it was going and was very quick and responsive to communication about both pickup and drop off times. I will certainly be using Kirsten again for my boarding needs.”
“Jena had our sweet Rocky for over 2 weeks during the holidays. It warmed our hearts to see him having such a wonderful time with her and her family. It’s so hard to find people you can trust to care for your pet, I’m so glad we found Jena ❤️”
“Destiny is great! She is very calm and loving and organized. My two dogs spent five nights with her and were very well cared for including lots of walks and playtime. Her home is set up so it is perfect for dogs and they were able to play in her backyard together despite the rain because she has artificial turf. She is also flexible and sends cute photos/videos everyday.”
“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 🩷🩷🩷”
“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!”

“Carrington is one of the most enthusiastic and thorough sitters I've had. She sent lots of pictures, detailed updates, and proactively reached out about any issues or questions that came up. She cares deeply about animals and makes sure she is meeting their needs. 100% recommended! She's awesome.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats through my volunteer work at a cat shelter, where I helped care for cats of all ages and personalities. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, keeping their living areas clean, and spending time socializing with them. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I am patient, gentle, and attentive to their individual needs. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their routine, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable.
“Carla did a fantastic job cat-sitting Kiki! She was extremely thorough with feeding, fresh water, and cleaning the bowls and litter box. Best of all, Kiki loved her company and got plenty of attention and sweet ear scratches. Carla even helped out by bringing in our package and trash bin. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“I’ve booked with her three times now. This time - for drop-ins with my cat, and she has been consistently great. She always makes sure his litter box is clean, his food and water are full, and she takes the time to play with him, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while I’m away. She does a wonderful job, and I’ll definitely keep booking with her!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s personality. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love so they feel happy and secure.
“I cannot say enough good things about my dog walker. He takes amazing care of my two big dogs — my little beasts — and handles them with confidence, calmness, and kindness. They absolutely adore him. He’s reliable, patient, and clearly experienced. I feel completely comfortable trusting him with my dogs, which is huge for me. Every walk is consistent, safe, and positive. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pets and treats them like his own, he’s the one. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Benjamin was wonderful. I could tell through the pictures and the description that he really cares. My cat does not normally like males, but he warmed up to him and even wanted cuddles from him. I felt very safe and secure leaving my home and baby in his hands. Benjamin is my new favorite pet sitter!”
“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.”
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: As a lifelong dog owner and passionate animal lover, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members.

Whether your pet needs a daily walk, playtime, or just some extra companionship while you're away, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I am currently a substitute teacher, so I control my own schedule!

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.
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: I have experience with puppies, beginner obedience training and potty training. Senior dog care, special needs, surgery or vet procedure recovery and care.

“I was very hesitant in leaving my pup due to me never wanting to leave him with anyone , but today I had to leave town for the day.. I felt comfortable leaving macho with her. She sent me pictures and we talked through out the day! My pup never potty outside before , and today he did!! He must of had fun because he’s been sleeping since I got him back lol.”
“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!”
“Absolutely amazing! Dan always goes above and beyond to take great care of Kamora. He’s reliable, caring, and communicative. He always makes sure she feels comfortable and well cared for. I’m so grateful!”
“Kelsey and Alexis were very kind, responsive, and very caring. Our dog Lilly seemed to have a great time with them. We truly appreciate all the great photos of Lilly while she spent the day with them. If we ever need care again, we would definitely have her stay with them again. If you need dog care, I would highly recommend sending your dog. Thank you!”

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 🤗.

About: I have loved animals since I was small, volunteered at animal rescues since I was a child, and have my own menagerie of furry critters. I worked at a horse stable for over 7 years and owned a horse so also am knowledgeable about horses, donkeys, goats, chickens in addition to cat and dogs. I have trained all my dogs for over 15 years so understand how to kindly guide dogs. I have given medicine in all forms and am well versed in pet home first aid. I am currently working full time but have a flexible schedule so can usually accommodate any time of day with some notice. I walk my own dogs twice a day and live in an area with 5 parks. I take my dogs to the park frequently too so can easily add another dog to the mix. I have a fenced yard and a large pet filled home. My yard has a patio cover and a fan to keep everyone comfortable. For well behaved dogs who are cat savvy and non destructive, I can offer them to come inside and hang out on the couches. For other people’s homes, I love getting to know pets and will gladly try to make them as comfortable as possible. I’m happy to play with their favorite toys and give plenty of pets.
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: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, potty breaks, check-ins, and keeping them company. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines such as giving treats, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise, playing fetch, giving them attention and affection, and making sure they are comfortable and safe in their home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and needs, and I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and able to recognize when a dog may need space, extra attention, or reassurance. I’m currently a part-time college student and looking for a part-time job, so I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care. I’m available for pet sitting, walks, check-ins, and other pet-care needs around my class schedule. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can provide reliable, consistent, and loving care for their pets. I have a safe and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take pet safety seriously and always follow their normal routines, feeding instructions, medication directions, and exercise needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will treat their pets and belongings with the same care I would want for my own.
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?

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.

“Nicole went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and well adjusted to her home. She also went above and beyond with communicating with me! I’ll be booking again!”
“We had such a great experience with Grant. He took such good care of my baby, she even came home with better manners than she had when she went to him. Kyra stayed with Grant and his pack for a whole week and the whole time I received updates and pictures of all the fun she was having. After picking her up, Kyra was exhausted which is hard to achieve. My dog had so much fun with the other animals and everyday I received pictures of her daily adventures. His goal is to tire them out and make you feel comfortable about leaving them. I will definitely be using Grant in the future. Thank you, Grant!”
“5/5! Achara had great communication and she was amazing with my puppy! My puppy didn't even look back at me when I dropped him off 🫠 Photo updates made me feel at ease and she reassured me that he was doing well. Will definitely rebook with her when I need a sitter again!”
“My dog did wonderfully with Kirsten! I've tried a few different boarding options and Kirsten is by far the best! She sent a daily update to let me know how it was going and was very quick and responsive to communication about both pickup and drop off times. I will certainly be using Kirsten again for my boarding needs.”
“Jena had our sweet Rocky for over 2 weeks during the holidays. It warmed our hearts to see him having such a wonderful time with her and her family. It’s so hard to find people you can trust to care for your pet, I’m so glad we found Jena ❤️”
“We left Peppa with Gregory for 5 night, and I think she had the best time of her life with him! He took her to regular walks and sent us very detailed regular updates, which we appreciated a lot! He also made sure to give her her meds on time and took care of her hygiene. Totally recommend him for your pet, he's very knowledgeable and resourceful sitter! We would definitely love to have him petsit our dog next time we need a sitter. :)”
“Cedric is absolutely wonderful. From initial contact/request, his communication is great. Very thoughtful about every aspect of my dog's care from drop-off to pick-up and everything in between. Each update Cedric provided with photos or videos, it was easy to see my puppo was comfortable and happy staying with Cedric. I often move cities due to work, but any times I need someone to take care of my dog while in Sacramento, Cedric will always be my first choice! 😊”
“Morgan was awesome to work with! My family and I were looking for a new sitter because our dog got too large for the old ones. We were able to meet with Morgan before the overnight stay we booked with our pup and she was amazing with our dog! We will hopefully see her again soon!”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“Andrew and family took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away for almost 3 weeks. They administered medication on time and kept us in the loop with daily updates. I enthusiastically recommend them for dog boarding!”
“Doh is excellent with the pups. She’s patient and kind and provided many pics and updates throughout my vacation. My dog seemed to really like her and my family did as well! Highly recommend!”
“Tracy was amazing! She showed extra care for our puppy, making sure he was happy and loved. She has a natural talent with dog behavior, and treated our boy like her own. She sent daily updates, photos and videos. Our dog came home happy and tired, plenty of playtime. We will definitely book again!”
“Tracy was such a wonderful sitter for our senior pup. We were worried about finding someone who would be able to take care of her senior needs and potentially deal with any issues if they came up, but Tracy was the perfect fit and we feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”
