“Carrie was "EXCELLENT"! She made us feel at ease when we dropped off Bella. She was very sweet and kind. She gave us a very good vibe and we felt confident our Bella was going to be okay with her. She sent us pics and videos of Bella while was under her care and we could see Bella being herself and that gave us peace of mind. We will definitely will be returning customers in the future. We were extremely satisfied with her service. Thank you! Eva”
“Irina was communicative throughout the entire process. I had to make a last minute change and include my senior pug for boarding and she was responsive and helpful. My senior pug has to take medication twice daily and Irina made sure to be on top of it. My pugs looked happy and well taken care of while I was gone. Irina sent me videos and pictures of my pugs which made me feel comfortable and it was good to see their little tails wagging while I was gone. Thank you Irina.”
“Rekha and her husband were amazing with my Tyson. Tyson had an extended stay with Rekha. She sent me regular updates and pics of Tyson throughout his stay. Will definitely book again !”
“Anais was very aware and considerate of my dog’s needs and our preferences. She was communicative and shared pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely reach out to Anais again in the future.”
“Cole M. gave our senior Chihuahua, Lily, exceptional care by providing adequate space to play/explore, feeding her, and keeping her safe while walking her. Lily seemed to feel at ease with Cole and the other 3 puppies/dog. Lily like her new friends, and we enjoyed trusting Cole with our dog. Lily stayed in Cole's loving care from Sat., 6/1 to Sun., 6/2. We plan on utilizing Rover.com to book some future dates with Cole as our dog sitter. Thanks again Cole M. ~Prof. Keith & Roz H.”
“Beau had an amazing time at Annie’s! Annie was very accommodating and sent updates multiple times a day which we really appreciate. Her level of professionalism is indicative of the fact that she is a business owner. Additionally, she sent Beau home with a goodie bag! I definitely recommend and Beau will be back :).”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Experience!!! I Couldn’t Have Asked for Better Care Leaving Tonka for the first time was honestly nerve racking, but Naiomie made the entire experience stress free from day one. She sent me updates, photos, and videos throughout every single day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. It quickly became obvious that she wasn’t just watching him, she genuinely cared about him. She took the time to learn his personality, celebrate his milestones, and even pointed out little behaviors that helped me become a better dog owner. She introduced him to her dogs slowly and safely, and before long they were playing together like old friends. Seeing my puppy build confidence, socialize appropriately, and genuinely enjoy himself meant the world to me. She even noticed that Tonka learned to ring the bell when he needed to go outside and made sure to reinforce that behavior. What impressed me most was her attention to detail. She kept his bedding clean, cleaned his eyes daily, monitored his potty habits, let me know about behaviors that needed training, and adapted her routine to fit what worked best for him. She didn’t just tell me everything was perfect, she gave me honest updates and thoughtful observations, which I really appreciated. By the end of his stay, it honestly seemed like Tonka had become part of the family. She told me she was sad to see him leave, and I could tell the feeling was mutual. As an owner, that’s incredibly reassuring. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like they’re her own, communicate consistently, and provide exceptional care, I recommend Naiomie without hesitation. Tonka will absolutely be staying with her again. Thank you, Naiomie, for taking such incredible care of my boy. You gave me complete peace of mind, and that’s priceless. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars!!! Highly recommended!!!”
“You guys were awesome! The regular updates, photos and videos were greatly appreciated. I can tell our boys were in good hands! They even took them on walks which was not expected but a nice bonus! Super flexible too. Highly recommended”
“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog at a sitter’s and was content. Kirsten would send daily updates with photos which put my mind at ease. I would definitely consider leaving my dog with Kirsten again without hesitation.”
“Briana was great with Benicio! He had no issues and seemed to have done just fine under Briana’s care! We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her services again in the future.”
“Catherine and Ernie took great care of Max. Both were very communicative before and during his stay. They were very kind and clearly love dogs. I highly recommend both!”
“Wendy was great. She took a last minute booking that allowed us to enjoy our trip with peace of mind. Our dog Miley got along great with Wendy’s two dogs. They couldn’t stop playing all day. Wendy kept us updated with pics and messages. Miley got plenty of long walks while in Wendy’s care. Miley had such a great time that when we got back to pick her up she almost didn’t want to leave. If you’re a husky owner who has a dog with separation anxiety I recommend giving Wendy a try.”
“My pets came back from their 3 night vacation with Lori healthy and happy! Their stay was seamless. I received information about their care in a timely fashion and I felt as though they were in the next best place to home. Thank you Lori”
“Qiana was wonderful! She was great about keeping in touch with daily photos and even had a sweet care package to send home with both of our pups! Thank you again, Qiana!”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care my dog received while I was away for seven days. From start to finish, the experience was professional, warm, and reassuring. I got regular updates and pictures, and it was clear my pup was being treated with love and attention. Coming home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend this pet sitting service to anyone looking for someone truly dependable and caring. Thank you again for everything!”
“Aki helped me out soooo much when I needed a sitter for a last minute business trip. She was kind enough to setup a meet and greet which helped Rita feel comfortable. Rita really enjoyed the backyard during the meet and greet. She ran directly towards the backyard when we arrived for dropoff. I was running late for dropoff and Aki was very accommodating to the unexpected delay. Rita can be very clingy and does not enjoy being alone. Aki was sweet and very patient with her. She sent me updates and photos throughout the day which I enjoy. Thank you, Aki!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I wasn't sure what to expect. The process was very easy and Kaime was exceptional. Great communication and very considerate in taking care of my two cats...even down to noticing that litter was getting tracked into the hallway and asking where to find the vacuum so she could clean it up. She followed instructions perfectly and was thoughtful on how to care for the cats in a way that fit their quirks. A terrific experience and I would definitely hire Kaime again.”
“Jenifer Miller is absolutely excellent! She took wonderful care of my dog, Buster, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about his needs. From the moment she arrived, it was obvious she treats Buster like he’s her own dog. Jenifer is always prompt, reliable, and professional, giving me complete peace of mind while I’m away. Knowing Buster is with someone who truly loves and cares for him means everything to me. I highly recommend Jenifer to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog just as much as they do. Buster and I are so grateful to have found her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

“Claudia did an amazing job taking care of our two kitties while we were away! She was very easy to communicate with and left detailed notes on how the cats were doing after each visit. She also took some great pictures, which we really enjoyed seeing each day. She followed all of our detailed instructions and we could tell the cats were well taken care of when we returned. She gave us peace of mind during our time away and I would recommend Claudia’s services to anyone looking for help caring for their furry friends. We will definitely have her help us out again in the future!”
“Amy was great! We felt so reassured that our kitty was getting the attention she needed while we were gone. I appreciated the daily photo updates and could tell she took great care of our girl.”

June made sure to keep me posted and updated on Bella throughout her stay. She sent lots of pictures so I could see how she was doing. Her dog Ceaser was great with Bella too. Bella has become very attached to June. She also loves Ceaser, her new gentle giant friend. I strongly recommend June if you’re looking for a very responsible caring sitter for your pup. I know Bella is in good hands with June, and will be using her as our sitter in the future.”

Amanda takes great care of him and sends lots of pictures and updates throughout his stays. I will definitely keep using Amanda for my dog sitting and boarding needs.”

About: Hi there! 🐾 I am Cassie and I have been an animal lover since I was a baby. I have grown up around animals my whole life including cats, dogs, rabbits, and birds. I have always loved caring for animals and have done pet sitting for years. When I was 15 I started my own pet sitting for family and friends. I love all kinds of animals and currently have three of my own, an Australian Shepard, cat, and rabbit. I have had experience administering medication and am happy to also work with puppies. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with our fur babies, so I want to make you feel as at ease as possible.

I look forward to meeting you and your fur family :) I am currently a stay at home mom and have very open availability. I am an early riser so I have no problem to do morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I am also available holidays and weekends. I am able to take dogs on walks or even just play at home. I treat any clients fur babies as if they were my own. I also am very respectful when at another persons home and do my best to leave in the same/better state than I found it.
About: My ultimate goal and promise is to provide the safety and love for your pets as if you were still home. I know how worrisome it may be while you're at work or on vacation to wonder how your pet is doing and if they're receiving the care they deserve and i'm here to eliminate all worries.

Working part time on the weekends, I have almost my whole day during the week to take care of your fur babies. A bonus to the sad fact I don't currently have any pets of my own at the moment, my home and large backyard is free for your pet's comfortability. I grew up training my dog in 4-H and have raised puppies as well as kittens. I work part time on the weekends so I am free during the week to care for your pets if you are at work or on vacation.

I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

About: Since I was in elementary school, I have always had a family dog or cat. Animals are a man’s best friend and I see my animals as my babies. I treat all animals with love, and make sure give the best care possible. I am a recent St. Mary’s college graduate. During my search for full time work, I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! When you need me I’ll be there! I currently have an indoor cat who is dog friendly! She loves to play and snuggle and will help your pets feel right at home. I also have a loving partner who is more than happy to look after my baby while I take care of yours.
About: With 15+ years working in animal welfare and shelter environments, I bring professional-level care to every pet I work with; from neonatal fosters to senior dogs managing complex medical needs. I'm trained in fear-free handling and modern animal behavior, and I hold a degree in Humane Leadership focused on animal welfare. I can administer both oral and injected medications, which makes me a trusted choice for pets with diabetes, allergies, epilepsy, or ongoing medical protocols. I've cared for animals of every age, size, breed, and temperament — including high-energy large breeds, anxious rescues, and special needs animals who need a calm, patient, experienced hand. I've owned a husky and a pit bull for over a decade, and I've fostered countless kittens and puppies. I know what it means to care for an animal through every stage of life and I take that responsibility seriously with yours. When it comes to walks, I ask every owner one question: does your dog like to mosey, brisk walk, or run? Because every dog is different ; and your dog's walk should match their energy, not a one-size schedule. I offer all three, including runs and bike rides for high-drive dogs who need real exercise. At my home: large fenced yard, non-smoking, children who are calm and experienced with dogs, and a routine-first approach. I follow your pet's existing schedule for feeding, walks, and rest to keep their stay as stress-free as possible. Your pet deserves more than a dog lover. They deserve someone who actually knows animals. I keep my availability intentional so every pet gets my full attention. My primary availability is Fridays for walks, drop-ins, run and bike rides, and boarding check-ins, with weekends open for boarding stays. My sweet spot is a Friday afternoon check-in with Sunday morning checkout — perfect for families heading out for the weekend. I’m not available for weekday walks or drop-ins Monday through Thursday, which means when I’m with your pet, I’m fully present; not squeezing visits between a packed schedule. I also welcome extended stays of one week or longer. For families with travel, deployments, or extended commitments, I provide consistent long-term care that keeps your pet in one stable, familiar home rather than rotating through different sitters. I’ve cared for dogs for multi-week stays and understand what it takes to maintain routine, behavior, and wellbeing over time. If you’re looking for a reliable Friday walker, a consistent weekend boarding home, or a trusted sitter for an extended stay in Elk Grove, let’s connect! My home has a large fully fenced yard, a non-smoking environment, and children aged 7-9 who are calm and experienced around animals. I apply the same fear-free handling principles I use professionally — no force, no flooding, no punishment. Pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I always follow your pet’s existing routine to minimize stress. For in-home care I treat your space with the same respect and attentiveness I bring to my own. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I stick to their usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll follow their schedule for feeding, playtime, and walks to keep things familiar and stress-free for them. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

“Rekha and her husband were amazing with my Tyson. Tyson had an extended stay with Rekha. She sent me regular updates and pics of Tyson throughout his stay. Will definitely book again !”
“Anais was very aware and considerate of my dog’s needs and our preferences. She was communicative and shared pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely reach out to Anais again in the future.”
“Beau had an amazing time at Annie’s! Annie was very accommodating and sent updates multiple times a day which we really appreciate. Her level of professionalism is indicative of the fact that she is a business owner. Additionally, she sent Beau home with a goodie bag! I definitely recommend and Beau will be back :).”
“You guys were awesome! The regular updates, photos and videos were greatly appreciated. I can tell our boys were in good hands! They even took them on walks which was not expected but a nice bonus! Super flexible too. Highly recommended”
“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog at a sitter’s and was content. Kirsten would send daily updates with photos which put my mind at ease. I would definitely consider leaving my dog with Kirsten again without hesitation.”
“Briana was great with Benicio! He had no issues and seemed to have done just fine under Briana’s care! We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her services again in the future.”
“Catherine and Ernie took great care of Max. Both were very communicative before and during his stay. They were very kind and clearly love dogs. I highly recommend both!”
“Qiana was wonderful! She was great about keeping in touch with daily photos and even had a sweet care package to send home with both of our pups! Thank you again, Qiana!”
“Kenia was great! She agreed to take my dog for a week and a half, asked questions in advance to ensure she knew what he needed, and kept me completely up to do date throughout his stay. I really appreciated all the photos and videos and quick replies. He got lots of walks and play time and seemed to really settle in.”
“Ceudi and her wonderful family were great sitters for our senior Boxer (11yr). She was attentive to his medical needs (medicine and care) and stubborn habits. She sent daily updates and always responded quickly to our messages. She lives in a nice neighborhood with a large park nearby. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Wow! Kathleen and Bob and their family are such wonderful people and took AMAZING care of our Ella! Ella was spoiled with so much love and cuddles and kindness!!! We are so grateful to have found them! We loved seeing the photo updates throughout her stay, and appreciated how easy it was to stay in touch with them. We are so grateful Ella was so well taken care of!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Blaze! From the moment I dropped off my dog, I knew she was in loving, capable hands. She treated my pup like family, going above and beyond to ensure she was not only cared for, but pampered — like a true spa treatment! What really stood out was her attentiveness and care. She helped identify the root cause of a skin irritation my dog had been struggling with, which no one else had caught. Thanks to her insight and care, my dog came home not only happy and relaxed but also with a shiny, clean coat and noticeably healthier skin. She sent me daily photos and updates, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was such a relief knowing my dog was safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m beyond grateful we found Blaze!”
“I was really nervous about leaving Lewis behind because he's still recovering from surgery (the wound is healed, but he's still fragile), but Jennifer did a great job of keeping his activity restricted while still making sure both of my dogs got lots of love. She also provided regular (2x/day) updates and daily pictures, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I will absolutely be using her again when I need a sitter in this area.”
“My pup received wonderful love and care from Marie & James. I received photos and videos at least twice a day. Will trust them again with my doggy when we travel.”
“This was Lilo’s third stay at Marilee’s place! Ever since we found her, we have not taken Lilo anywhere else to petsit or board! We just know that Lilo is well cared for and loved when she stays over with Marilee. We love seeing all the picture updates Marilee sends us, not only does Lilo look like she’s having a good time, but it puts us at ease!”
