“Angela gave daily updates and was quick to respond to messages, which put me at ease when Bruce stayed with her and Jazzy for a week. I saw videos of him running happily outside and cuddling up next to her so I know he felt comfortable there!”
“Adrienne was absolutely amazing with our 9 week old pitty and we won't be looking to anyone else in the future! She treated her like she was her own and sent frequent updates, pics and even videos! Highly recommend her to anyone wanting amazing care for their fur baby.”
“Laura took such good care of my cat Shiny and made all the accommodations she needed. She even checked in and sent me a couple updates with photos. Thank you Laura for making my vacation worry free!”
“Nancy was perfect! I didn’t worry or fret about my dog’s well being and had a stress free night out away! It was our first time being separated over night. He did great, largely, I’m sure because of Nancy ! He will be staying with her again for sure.”
“Derek and Leslie took care of Ozzy on the 4th of July. Ozzy is scared of fireworks and is also a big dog but they even let him pay on their bed for comfort and I really appreciate them for it!”
“Kendra goes beyond what is expected to make sure your dog is happy, healthy, and well cared for. I don't think my dog could have been in better hands. I would not hesitate to use her.”
“Alexis and her partner are dog lovers. They took good care of our dog playing catch with him an endless number of times and made sure he was well fed. If we need a dog sitter, we will definitely book with them in the future.”
“Maryse was so amazing!! She was very responsive and took such good care of my dog with some specific requirements. She sent lots of updates and really treated her as her own :)”
“Mila enjoyed her stay with Natalie and had a lot of fun. Natalie responded quickly to accept Mila’s stay and kept us updated about her during the stay. Definitely recommended.”
“Andrea took great care of my dog, Loki, during his stay from July 30 to August 3. She kept me updated with messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Loki was well cared for, and I really appreciated the attention and care she gave him. Andrea was reliable, communicative, and made the entire experience stress-free. I felt confident that Loki was in good hands, and he came home happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with Andrea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter.”
“My three fur babies had the best Christmas with Darlene! I am obsessed with my pups, but knowing they were in Darlene’s loving care, allowed me to forget about them while I enjoyed my family.”
“Mariana was amazing with our boy! She made sure to second me updates and photos frequently. She even went above and beyond by purchasing him a new collar when his original one broke. That was such a thoughtful and generous gesture, and something she certainly didn’t have to do. We are so grateful for the love, care, and attention she gave him. We would highly recommend Mariana to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet!”
“Our Ziggy stays at Galady's home for 5 hours during the day. It was Ziggy's first time being with a petsitter. Galady gave us some info about Ziggy and Pepper (Galady's dog) interaction and sent us a picture of the 2 of them. When we came back, Ziggy was happy to see us and Galady told us how well they played together. Thanks Galady and Pepper to taking care of our Ziggy. See you next month when Ziggy will stay the entire day.”
“We are so relieved to have a smart, reliable family... to watch our Haru when we're away. They kept me updated throughout Haru’s stay. We highly recommend Mike and Patricia!”
“My dog Kee Kee is 14 and deaf and I was so worried to leave her. I met with Julie and just felt she would be the right person to leave Kee Kee with. We also did an hour visit one day before leaving to make sure it would be a good match. Julie sent me pictures of Kee Kee everyday to let me know how she was doing. When I picked her up she was happy and I knew she had been well cared for. Julie was the best and I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving person and home to leave their precious fur family member with.”
“Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“This is the first time that I've used Johnna, and all have to say is the cats warmed up to her immediately. Is she a pet whisperer? Everything went smoothly and she did everything I asked. She cleaned up litter messes and took it out to our outside garbage can so there was no litter smells when we got home. She spent time playing with them and even got my anxious cat to warm up to her. Definitely recommend her!”
“Zetta, is simply the best! Professional, trustworthy, and genuinely caring, they provided outstanding care for our cat while we were away. We loved receiving updates and photos, and our cat was happy and relaxed when we returned home. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone needing pet care.”
“Amy and Justin were amazing with Daisy! They were incredibly flexible and were able to take her a day earlier than originally planned, which we really appreciated. This was Daisy’s first stay with them after a meet-and-greet, and she had the best time and she came home completely worn out from all the fun! They sent photos and updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so happy we found them, and Daisy is already booked for a longer stay this summer. Highly recommend!”

“Malarie always is on time and spends the whole 30 minutes with Betty. I am picky about care and Malarie is so kind and patient with us and Betty She is very appreciated and always does a good job.”
“Mariah was great. My cat went up to her right away during the meet and greet. It was great to have someone who also has cats and knows how to interact with them. She sent pictures during her stay. I also feed feral cats and she was willing to help put food out for them as well. House was clean when we got back and she washed all of my many containers of food which was a nice surprise. I appreciate her attention to details. I would definitely recommend.”
“Johnna once again made it possible for us to do a really important trip to care for relatives. We are so grateful to her. We could not do everything we have to do right now without her. We know she will simply always take care of our animals, and we never have to worry.”
“David provided exceptional pet sitting. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my pets were in such good hands. He was incredibly attentive and quickly noticed a subtle difference in one of my pets, which truly impressed me. A real pro!"”
About: I’ve grown up around cats and have always loved their unique personalities and playful nature. I have experience caring for cats both in my own home and while pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, fresh water, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, and giving cats plenty of love and attention. I understand that every cat is different, and I’m happy to respect their individual routines and comfort levels. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away!
“Donna took care of my cats while I was away for a few days. This is the second time I had her look after my four cats while I was away. From the pictures she sent me I could see the cats were relaxed with her and she engaged with the cats by playing with and brushing them. One of my cats is very shy and not comfortable with new people but Donna was even able to get a picture of him without disturbing his space. I recommend Donna for cat visitation in your house while you are away from home.”
About: I've taken care of animals from a young age and it has always been a passion of mine! I have mostly cared for my own cats and dogs, but recently have had some experience pet setting for family and friends. I'm an active person and would love to take your pup on long walks. I am also available for drop in visits and feedings for both cats and dogs. I am currently working partime, so I am available to care for your pets Tuesday/Wednesday any time, and after 1pm any other day of the week! I currently live in an apartment so I am unable to board any animals other than my own, but if you would like me to do drop in visits for your pet I am available! I can feed your animals, take them for walks, or just show them some attention while you are away!
“This was my first time using Rover. Riley came to meet us before we left on vacation, which was reassuring. It was nice to know we were in good hands! Riley always spent time with our cat, Lexi, even when Lexi was not being the best company! Riley is dependable and was great with Lexi!”
“Gladys was amazing! She went above and beyond for Oreo. She was so considerate, asked me how much I would like to be updated per day, shared how Oreo was doing physically and emotionally (Oreo was so comfortable and happy there). All of the items I dropped off with Oreo were cleaned and returned perfectly. Gladys even asked if Oreo could have some of her Churu treats. So kind! Thank you Gladys!”
About: Having been through some pretty big life changes recently, I’m reminded to slow down and focus on things that make me happy. One thing that makes me happy is dogs. I’ve also wanted to get out and take more walks, so what better way to enjoy both than dog walking. I’ve had pets of all types all my life, but dogs are hands down my favorite. I currently have two of my own and occasionally watch my friends’ dogs. A friend of mine uses Rover, and I’ve been a pet sitter since I was a teen, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have taken a few training classes when my dog was a puppy and I have some experience with special needs (seniors, blindness, low mobility, and seizures). I work full time, but telework three days a week. For midday visits and dog walks, someone close to home would be best to ensure availability. We can always discuss evening visits or walks as well. For boarding, unless discussed and scheduled prior, weekends would best to ensure I can be home with your fur babe. I treat visiting pups like my own. They’re allowed on my furniture and in my bed. I have multiple crates of various sizes if a crate is needed. My yard is fenced, but dogs aren’t typically left unattended in the yard. I have seven free range chickens in my yard, so their safety is also a concern for me. I’m also open to discussion if your dogs’ needs don’t align with my typical routine; I don’t mind changing things up if it’s something I can accommodate.
About: Hi:) Hope you will enjoy my help with your furbabies! In the past, I provided care for my ex-friend’s pets, including walking her dogs to ensure they got plenty of exercise and fresh air, and spending time with her cats while she was away or doing chores that her parents assigned to. I am attentive to pets’ needs, from feeding them on time and keeping their living spaces clean to offering companionship and comfort. My experience has taught me how to handle different pet personalities, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in their owner's absence. Although I only have been taking care of small dogs and cats, I still determined to learn and get experience of how to take care of larger size dogs, since I want to get a dog in the future. I have plenty time to take care of pets! I'm great at multitasking so I'm more than welcome to help you any time I'm not busy. While I used to be in my ex friend's house, I always made sure that all pups had been gone through to potty breaks as well in the same time took care of cats. It was interesting experience since they all different and sometimes have different needs. But I managed to learn how to feed them differently and how to respect their space and sometimes separate them If some of her cats have been in conflict with each other. Also, when I was home with my friend, I always help her to wash her dogs and sometimes doing all by myself.
“Susan always does a top-notch job babysitting our cats Mimi and Bosco. We come home to two healthy, happy, (and not so wise) cats. Her daily feedback and photos keeps our minds at ease while we are away, we recommend her highly.”
“5/5 Stars! I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Hillary and her husband provided to my beloved dog, Taz! From the moment I dropped Taz off, I knew I was leaving him in capable and compassionate hands. Despite a few unexpected mishaps, including Taz's Houdini-like escape into a prepared crate in the house, Hillary and her husband handled the situation with professionalism and calm. They ensured Taz was safe, happy, and fed on time, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. What truly sets Hillary and her husband apart, however, is the genuine love and care they show to the dogs in their charge. It's clear they have a deep passion for animals and take the time to understand each dog's unique personality and needs. I highly recommend Hillary and her husband to anyone seeking top-notch pet care. They are trustworthy, reliable, and truly exceptional in every way. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Taz – I'm forever grateful!”
“Jenelle was so wonderful taking care of our dog while we were away. She is incredibly kind and very responsible. I had great piece of mind knowing she was their for our dog!”
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent and sitter for over 20 years, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats with every personality, and even senior pets who need a little extra love. I treat every pet like my own; whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping routines just right. I’m reliable, attentive, and always happy to send photo updates so you know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a job, it’s what I love. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule! I am pretty much always home, playing with my cat or tending my garden. I go to school online so that can be done from any location with wifi. I have plenty of free time to make sure your fury friends needs are met! I love and appreciate a detailed list of your pets wants and needs so as their routine isn’t disturbed in your absence. My calm yet assertive style coupled with my fun and energetic personality help me to ensure every pet I encounter is not only safe but trusts me enough to let their guard down and play!

“We had a fantastic experience with Alexis and her family. Bonnie loved spending the day playing with the kids and other dogs. Communication with Alexis was also great - we’d happily book again!”
“We have hired multiple sitters in multiple cities using this app. This doggy daycare is by far the best that we have had the privilege of sending our puppy to. Our five month old puppy is going through a trying time, with a terrible habit of humping everything in sight when he gets excited. We are working on it, but he’s such a difficult puppy to deal with right now. This host was very strategic with working around our puppy’s shortcomings and very forgiving. And was even helpful with giving us pointers on how to work on this bad behaviour. We are so very grateful to have been able to relax during our family’s belated Thanksgiving dinner knowing our baby was in very professional hands.”
“My puppy and I are so very happy when he has a play date with Kendra. She is the best! She makes sure he is safe and loved and he has so much fun when he’s there! Kendra is such a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much, Kendra!”
“I booked Alora (Stacy) for doggy day care for my two dogs while I was out of town. Our meet and greet prior to booking went very well! I could easily tell how much Alora cared about taking care of animals. My dogs liked her and her dogs as well. Alora was accommodating, communicative and so kind! Due to the departure and return flight times for my trip, I needed a very early morning drop off and late night pick up. Alora was fine with this and even let me drop off a little early so I had time to get to the airport without being in a rush. Despite the length of my dogs' stay, she kept her rates as they were shown prior to my booking. She also sent multiple text updates as well as videos of my dogs. I felt confident that my dogs were in good hands while I was away! When I picked up my dogs, I could tell they had a great day and were both asleep shortly after I got them home. I would definitely recommend and book with Alora again!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was an early adult, and caring and connecting with them comes naturally. As a wellness coach, husband and father of two, I’m big on structure, patience, and creating a calm, safe inviting environment for every dog I work with. I’m active outdoors, hiking, walking trails, and exploring around in the neighborhood, so your dog will get plenty of movement and attention. I will always adapt movement and attention needs to your liking. I’ve handled everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior dogs, and I’m confident with feeding routines, medication reminders, crate-training basics, and helping anxious dogs feel secure. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated with photos, check-ins, and clear communication so you always know your dog is in good hands. Whether your dog needs long walks, overnight care, or a dependable companion while you’re away, I bring consistency, kindness, and professional-level responsibility to every stay. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and set my own schedule. I’m already outdoors often, walking, working on the yard, biking, or taking my own dog out around the neighborhood or on the trails, so adding your pup into my day is a seamless fit. I’m available for boarding service either at my home or yours for 2-4 days during the week and weekend boarding requests as well. Your dog will always get consistent attention, movement, and care, never rushed or squeezed into a busy schedule. I provide a calm, structured environment that helps dogs feel comfortable the moment they arrive. My home in Fair Oaks has a large, fenced yard with plenty of safe space to explore. Outdoor time is always supervised, gates stay secured, and I keep clear routines for feeding, play, and rest so dogs settle in smoothly. We have two friendly dogs of our own, a Papillon and a Min Pin/Jack Russell mix, who enjoy having new companions around. They’re social, well-behaved, and help create an easygoing atmosphere for visiting pups. If a dog prefers their own space, I can separate areas to make sure everyone feels relaxed. For boarding in my home, I do require that dogs are potty trained. If you’re still working on potty training, I’m more than happy to support that process in your home. I’m also comfortable with crate routines, senior care, medication reminders, and maintaining whatever structure your dog is used to. As a father and longtime pet owner, safety and communication are top priorities, I send photo updates and check-ins so you always feel connected while you’re away.
“Our 1-year-old wheaten terrier enjoyed his time with Monica. He came home happy and ready to rest after a day of playing. Monica kept us updated on Chewys progress during the day and communicated well with us. I would definitely recommend Monica to care for your pup!”
“Let me tell you.. Ariana is amazing. So! This was my first time using this type of service. So I was a little concerned about leaving my puppy with a stranger.. but I was recommended by a reliable source so I went with it. After messaging a few sitters… and confirm possible dates .. I noticed none of the sitters asked me any questions about my pup, myself or told me anything about themselves… Ariana was the only person who showed a genuine interest in making sure I felt my pup was in the right hands. She’s amazing and I would only book with her! Period.”
“Johnna took such great care of Luna. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. We received pictures and updates that kept us feeling confident in her care. Thank you Johnna!”
About: I've had pet dogs my entire life, but as an adult I've personally adopted 2 dogs and a cat of my own. I have cared for pets at every stage of their life. I'm a freelance digital artist so my availability is open. I don't do artwork outside of my home, however. If I'm working for you that has my full attention. In my home I have a pool. My pug can swim but I'm still always outside when she is. Im very attentive when I take on responsibilities. My house is spacious and we are open to crating. Our pets sleep inside with us.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Victoria and her family care for my two English bulldogs, and I cannot express enough how wonderful the experience was! From the moment I reached out, Victoria was incredibly thoughtful and attentive to my dogs' needs. It was clear that she has a genuine love for animals, and her caring demeanor truly put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, Victoria consistently kept me updated with pictures and messages, which reassured me that doggos were having a great time. Victoria's attention to detail and her warm, inviting family environment made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Victoria, for making our time away stress-free and enjoyable!”
About: Hello! I'm Kristen, a young professional with a work-from-home career and a full-time job caring for my 3 year old Golden Retriever. I have had several dogs ranging in sizes my entire life, as well as cats, birds, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. I trained my Retriever myself, and adopted him from a puppy mill rescue when he was 8 weeks old. I have been a reliable petsitter for friends and family for many years, have experience caring for rescued dogs/reactive dogs, and am excited to make more new pet friends! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I walk my own dog on my lunch break and after work, and would be able to check on/walk yours on a similar timeline! I have a fenced front yard and back yard, as well as exterior security cameras. My dog is very friendly and has been socialized since he was vaccinated and able to be introduced to other dogs.
“Olesia was wonderful. We dropped off our dog for around 6 hours and she was very communicative. She sent lots of photos and our dog was very happy to stay with her. Would definitely use Olesia again!”
“Julie has been absolutely wonderful! She has been very flexible, kind and sends lots of photos of my pups. She always has lots of playmates for my two dogs and they always come home looking like they had a blast and ready for a nap. I couldn't recommend Julie enough.”

“Brooklyn has been walking Maggie for a week now and Maggie loves Brooklyn! Brooklyn is prompt to respond to requests and easy to communicate with. Maggie will be 14 this year and she requires accommodations and special handling. Brooklyn has demonstrated compassion and understanding with my detailed instructions. She takes care to pay attention to Maggie's energy and gait and provides updates on her activities. Brooklyn is trustworthy and I feel comfortable with giving her access to my home when I'm away. Thank you Brooklyn!”
“Monica took Angel out twice a day for walks while we were on vacation. Always on time and sent pictures of Angel on the walk. She didn’t have any trouble with Angel. Highly recommend Monica to help with your fur babies!”
About: Hey there! My nickname is actually Maks, and I'm glad to meet you. I have taken care of dogs and cats since around 12 years old. I’ve looked after pets of friends and neighbors, and I feel confident working with dogs of all sizes. I am comfortable with more anxious dogs as I have had one myself. I am also very experienced with cats, I have two at home! I know how hard it can be to leave your little ones even just for the day, especially if they lean on the anxious side, but I hope that I can provide a gentle and loving presence for your babies. Finding reliable pet care can be stressful which is why I value transparency and clear communication. I will provide updates at every visit, and I will do my best to answer any questions you have as soon as possible. Your pet's safety and wellbeing is my main priority. Looking forward to talking with you! I am currently a part-time student working on getting into nursing school. I am completely free Monday, Wednesday, Friday and most weekends. I am flexible when it comes to schedules, and I would love to communicate with owners to set something up more long term. I could do daily walks, and I can do daily drop-in visits as well. I don't have space to house dogs at my house currently because I have two cats at home.
“Riley has been such a amazing help while I was recovering from an injury that prevented me from being able to take my dog on a walk. He was very careful of her limitstions of being dog reactive and made me feel comfortable that she was in good hands!”
“Carmen did a great job walking my pup! She sent me lots of photos and kept me updated throughout the walk. She was very communicative and took great care of my pup. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I have always loved animals, growing up with many cats, dogs, chickens, fish, birds, etc. Right now I have a cat, Luna, who we love dearly! We are not quite ready to fully pause travel and commit full time to a dog at home, so I am looking forward to enjoying some dog time via Rover! I am available all day on weekends, and after 5:15pm on week days. My Sat/Sun availability will vary based on my schedule, but I would love to take walks on my open weekends! I plan to ask pet preferences and communicate with the owner prior to our first walk. I am in tune with what a dog’s mood and what they may be communicating during our walk. I hope they enjoy the walk and my company during our time together.
“Raina has done a wonderful job walking our dog. We had a lot of additional details and she can be a bit of a high maintenance pup and Raina took it all in stride. Our pup loves her and her walks!”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, mostly rescued all of my dogs. I have volunteered for dog and cat rescues including Rocket Dog Rescue in San Francisco. I volunteered for SPCA for over 10 years. I also have fostered many dogs and volunteered for dog shelters to be able to walk dogs. I started walking dogs in college over 20 years ago on the side. I have worked for Honeys Heart in San Francisco where I helped with boarding, training, cleaning and feeding dogs as well as taking care and walking dogs. Of course tons of belly rubs and play time! I have fostered puppies as well as adult seniors. Some dogs I fostered for weeks to months until I found a loving home. I absolutely love and care for animals and I’m always excited to be part of their lives. I I feel that all animals need to have unconditional love and care and complete trust and respect. “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened”- Anatole. I am open to any schedule full-time Monday through Sunday. AM/PM I have complete open availability to care to your fur baby. I can do multiple walks a day or take your dog to my local dog park. I have a fenced yard and a small friendly dog in a tucked away, safe neighborhood in fair Oaks. I can do daily walks as well as crate train. I give all of my attention and care and can cater to every and any need.
About: Hello, I am a huge dog lover I have always been surrounded by dogs ever since I was 5! I have taken care of all different breeds of dogs from bathing, walking, and house sitting. I use to live with 5 dogs consisting of 2 Great Danes, 2 Huskies, and a Great Dane/ Poodle mix! I am open to all kind of dogs little and small. I already am used to taking my 5 dogs at home on walks each day which if you have lots of dogs like me you know you can’t always walk them all together so I often make 2-3 different trips when walking all do them. All of my pets are potty trained but I do not take them to the dog parks to interact with dogs outside of my own home. I prefer not to do so for the health of my own dogs. I am a huge cleaner so I always make sure my dogs are cared and cleaned and LOVED!
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, and even a bunny! I’ve also cared for neighbors’ pets, including both big and small dogs and cats. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, providing playtime and companionship, giving pets plenty of attention, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their families are away. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals! I’m currently a student at Sacramento State and have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, so my availability is more limited during late mornings through early evenings on those days. I also have a baby, so I may need to coordinate visits around his schedule or most likely bring him with me to services with animals who are ok with kiddos. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and work with each family to find a schedule that works well for everyone! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, follow their owner’s instructions carefully, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, food, and fresh water. I’ll also keep their space clean and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for!
“We have a sweet but anxious little rescue dog. He doesn't like anything new or out of the routine, and he doesn't like anyone but his ONE human. David was able to help him feel less insecure, and now he has one one human on the (short) list of humans he can trust. THANKS, David, for helping our Buster feel secure!”
“Brandie was great with my dog. She came over twice to become aquanted with him beforehand and then took great care of him during her visit. Her communication was too notch and my dog was very happy with her.”
About: Hello there! My name is Brenda and I am new to the Greater Sacramento area. Before moving to Rancho Cordova I volunteered at the Inland Valley Humane Society and SPCA. I've always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including my own pets and helping care for family and friends' pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine, preferences, and quirks. I'm naturally very patient and attentive with animals, and I genuinely enjoy to know their personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers to relax and cuddle, I'm happy to meet them where they're at and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or boarding — mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I may eventually pick up part-time work, but even then I’d still have consistent time set aside for pet care. There’s also a park right across the street from my apartment, so daily walks and playtime are easy to build into the routine. I enjoy having a reason to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals, so walks and drop-in visits fit really naturally into my day. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need rather than feeling like they're just being checked off my list. Your pets safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I always want pets to feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I live in an apartment with two cats of my own so I don’t currently have dogs at home — just a calm, clean space I keep consistent for any pet staying with me. My cats are used to visitors and generally easygoing, but I’m happy to talk through introductions ahead of time if that matters for your pet. There’s a park directly across the street, which makes it easy to get dogs outside for exercise multiple times a day. I'm respectful of your home, your pet's normal routine. I'll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions when needed, and pay attention to anything that seems unusual with your pet. Most importantly, I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I'll treat them with the same patience and care I could want for my own.
About: Growing up with dogs, I have provided lifelong care for them from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me deep experience in their unique needs. I am fully capable of administering medications, and I am highly diligent about following specific feeding and exercise schedules. My background ensures I provide consistent, reliable, and compassionate care for your pet, treating them with the same love and attention I have dedicated to my own dogs throughout my years of experience. I'm currently working a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of availability to give your pets my undivided attention! I am available on weekends and weekdays. For services like dog walking or drop-in visits at the client's home, I provide attentive and reliable care. I focus on maintaining the pet's routine, ensuring they get exercise, and providing companionship. I'm skilled at adapting to different pet personalities and environments, always prioritizing their safety and happiness during our time together.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been surrounded by pups for as long as I can remember. My partner and I currently have two sweet, professionally trained dogs who are super dog-friendly and love making new furry friends! We also foster dogs, so we’re used to all kinds of personalities—from the super shy to the zoomie champions. Our home is full of love (and treats), and our dogs are crate trained, respectful, and always ready to welcome a new buddy into the pack. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a drop-in visit for some playtime and belly rubs, or just a friendly face while you're away, we’ve got you covered! We love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and learning what makes them happiest—whether that’s chasing a ball, sniffing every tree, or just lounging in the sun. We can’t wait to meet your pup and help them feel right at home (even when they’re not)! I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your pets! Including midday walks, potty breaks, and outside playtime. We're available for boarding on weekends, starting at 5pm on Fridays. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities! We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our two friendly, well-trained dogs love having new friends to hang out with. Need a little extra space? No problem—we’re happy to crate dogs if requested or provide separate areas in our home for pups who prefer their own quiet corner. Whether your dog is super social or enjoys a bit more independence, we’re here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every step of the way.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My dad was a dog trainer, although I am not super specialized or advanced in my training techniques - I firmly believing in training, queues, patience and love rather than control. I will care for your babies like they are my own. I have experience dealing with shy/anxious pets to friendly/high energy. I make an effort to go above and beyond to make sure your pets are well taken care of and safe <3 Open to meet ups first or chatting on the phone to get acquainted and ensure alignment. I do a lot of free-lance, part-time work and do not do much most weekends, so I will have a lot of time to provide care and walks throughout the day. I am a very active person so I do not have trouble keeping up and staying moving. Open to recurring scheduling for the next 4 weeks. I have a fenced yard, garage area, and plenty of open space for fur babies to run around. I know a good amount of walking routes as well. I am open to coming into your space, and making sure the pet is feeling comfortable and at home. Dog-walking is my speciality, and I will do my best to ensure the best care is provided, as well as ensuring appropriate leash behavior! For pet-sitting, my greatest focus is ensuring enough walks and movement and interaction throughout the day.

“Nancy was perfect! I didn’t worry or fret about my dog’s well being and had a stress free night out away! It was our first time being separated over night. He did great, largely, I’m sure because of Nancy ! He will be staying with her again for sure.”
“Derek and Leslie took care of Ozzy on the 4th of July. Ozzy is scared of fireworks and is also a big dog but they even let him pay on their bed for comfort and I really appreciate them for it!”
“Kendra goes beyond what is expected to make sure your dog is happy, healthy, and well cared for. I don't think my dog could have been in better hands. I would not hesitate to use her.”
“Alexis and her partner are dog lovers. They took good care of our dog playing catch with him an endless number of times and made sure he was well fed. If we need a dog sitter, we will definitely book with them in the future.”
“My three fur babies had the best Christmas with Darlene! I am obsessed with my pups, but knowing they were in Darlene’s loving care, allowed me to forget about them while I enjoyed my family.”
“Mariana was amazing with our boy! She made sure to second me updates and photos frequently. She even went above and beyond by purchasing him a new collar when his original one broke. That was such a thoughtful and generous gesture, and something she certainly didn’t have to do. We are so grateful for the love, care, and attention she gave him. We would highly recommend Mariana to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet!”
“Our Ziggy stays at Galady's home for 5 hours during the day. It was Ziggy's first time being with a petsitter. Galady gave us some info about Ziggy and Pepper (Galady's dog) interaction and sent us a picture of the 2 of them. When we came back, Ziggy was happy to see us and Galady told us how well they played together. Thanks Galady and Pepper to taking care of our Ziggy. See you next month when Ziggy will stay the entire day.”
“Erin and Devin took such amazing care of our dog, Kody, while we were away. Kody is usually pretty anxious, so we’re always a bit nervous leaving him—but he absolutely loved being with them. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable, happy, and right at home. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation stress-free, which means everything. We’re so grateful to have found Erin and Devin and wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Kody again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“This is the first time that I've used Johnna, and all have to say is the cats warmed up to her immediately. Is she a pet whisperer? Everything went smoothly and she did everything I asked. She cleaned up litter messes and took it out to our outside garbage can so there was no litter smells when we got home. She spent time playing with them and even got my anxious cat to warm up to her. Definitely recommend her!”
“Amy and Justin were amazing with Daisy! They were incredibly flexible and were able to take her a day earlier than originally planned, which we really appreciated. This was Daisy’s first stay with them after a meet-and-greet, and she had the best time and she came home completely worn out from all the fun! They sent photos and updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so happy we found them, and Daisy is already booked for a longer stay this summer. Highly recommend!”
“Great sitter for our little fur pup! Had great communucation, always updated us daily, and gave plenty of pictures to see what our little rascal was up to. Followed any extra instructions given, and gave our dog the attention needed while dealing with a family emergency. Will definitely be using again, and couldn’t recommend more!!! A+++”
“Julia was very professional with establishing a contract for care, holding a meet-and-greet before the boarding and generally being friendly and responsive to our questions. Ringo had a nice boarding experience, looked happy in the photos that Julia sent daily, and bonded with another family member. The cat patio (catio) is an extra feature where he was able to stay outside in a safe space.”
“Was willing to meet for initial contact at short notice. Was extremely polite and professional. Provided consistent updates and pictures. Our dog Loki came back very happy! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
About: Our three rescues recently traveled to the rainbow bridge after 13 years in our home. We are not ready to fill our home permanently, but are emotionally available to love on your babies while you’re gone. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I have many years of pet sitting and house sitting including dogs, cats, fish, and bunnies. I know firsthand how expensive pet boarding is, not to mention stressful, so I am here to make traveling and being away easier. I work very part time and stay home with my kids, so I am available regularly and have an extremely flexible schedule for accommodating needs. We have a one story home with a large fenced in yard for safe exploring and sun bathing. Our home is currently pet free, so your pets would have full control of the place!
“It was a great pleasure to have Rachel and Jason taking care of our pup ‘Hugo’. They took wonderful care of him and we would definitely recommend reaching out to them if you need a good place to house your pet.”
“Kendall was great! Super flexible with drop off/pick up, stayed in touch with photos and my pup came back tired and happy. I would recommend her, and will definitely rebook!”
“This was Sierra’s first time with Greg—she is usually a little anxious in new situations but settled in very quickly with him. He understands dogs and he knew exactly how to make Sierra comfortable and at ease. He sent us multiple photos every day and updated us frequently. We were able to enjoy our trip with no worries about how she was getting along. We’ll definitely book Greg again!”
“My puppy had an amazing time at Kevin’s! Kevin is very kind, caring, and quick to respond. I really appreciated all the photos, videos, and updates! It made me feel at peace knowing that my pup was having a wonderful time. You can tell right away that Kevin will take care of your pups as if they were his own. Highly recommend!”
