“Our border collie had a great stay while we were camping in the Redwoods National Park and our return was delayed by a day. Amy and Justin were happy to extend our pups stay! Thanks you so much!”

“Our experience with Kimberlee was stellar! She is professional, kind, and a super great communicator (sending us messages and photos of our pup while there). She also had to give her medication while we were away and Kimberlee attended to every detail. She made our frenchie a part of the family and our girl LOVED being there! She also has a frenchie so I'm pretty sure our Cabi now has a new best friend. Thank you Kimberlee for being so awesome and making us (and Cabi) feel at ease while on our trip!! You are the best! :)”

“Alexa bonded instantly with our pup and was committed to providing him with the best home away from home possible! She sent loads of pictures and checked in regularly, and it was clear from the photos that he could not have been happier! Thankful to have found such a happy place for Brady to land - he is looking forward to future stays with Alexa!”

“I'm glad I found Michael and Patricia. Josie felt at ease with them right away so it made me feel good about leaving her with them. They are a wonderful couple who really care about dogs. I rarely go out of town, but if I ever need a sitter for Josie in the future, they'd be the ones I'd book a stay with.”

About: My attentiveness with dogs who need a little extra care. I've looked after a senior dog, learning to adjust to a slower pace and keep a close eye on her comfort and needs. I've also cared for a reactive dog, so I'm comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I'm home throughout the day to give your pup steady attention, and I treat every dog like one of my own. My mornings start around 8am with a 20 minute walk, followed by treats when we get home. I serve breakfast around 11am and offer treats a couple more times during the day. I usually let the dogs out in the backyard for 5–10 minutes once or twice between the morning and evening walks. In the late afternoon, around 4–5pm, I take the dogs to the dog park, or if it's too hot, we wait until 6–7pm for a 20–25 minute walk instead. Before bed, I let them out in my backyard one last time. Your pup will get steady attention, exercise, and lots of love all day long. My backyard is fully fenced and secure, so dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely. I have two friendly dogs of my own who make great company for visiting pups. At mealtimes I separate the dogs into different corners so each one can focus on their own food without stress. During the day I let them out in the backyard for 5–10 minutes at a time, and before bed I always go outside with them to supervise and make sure everyone is safe and settled. Your fur baby will be in a calm, secure, and attentive environment.
About: We had our own dog that we cared for from puppyhood, so we’re very comfortable with everyday dog care. We have a soft spot for smaller pups and love giving them lots of attention, cuddles, and love. We treat every pup staying with us like one of our own. We’re able to plan our schedules around the pups we’re caring for and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and company. With two of us caring for them, they’ll have plenty of company and love throughout their stay. We live in a new, dog-friendly apartment with dedicated areas for pups to walk and play. We make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while staying with us. We always follow their usual routine and any instructions to help them feel right at home.
“Jena and her family took the absolute best care of our dog, Juno. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. They treated her like one of their own, and it showed. Juno was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We had total peace of mind while we were away, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jena again. Highly recommend!”

“I can't say enough great things about this experience! We've never boarded our cats so I was nervous on how they would respond. With the daily updates from Elaine on how they were doing it warmed my heart that they seemed to make a new friend. Elaine is incredibly warm and fantastic with our cats. Such a gift for us to have her care for them!”

“Thank you so much Maisy for taking care of our pup over the weekend! We knew he was in excellent hands and reassured that he was receiving so much love from your family. We will definitely contact you for future bookings!!”

“Amber watched my dog Squid for two nights. Squid has bad separation anxiety and struggles being away from home. Amber was fantastic and our dog seemed to love staying at her place. We’ll definitely be booking again.”


“Patti and her husband took great care of my puppy! I was updated with pictures and videos the whole time. I felt at ease knowing Tilly was in such safe and caring hands❤️”


About: I absolutely love dogs and consider them part of the family, I am basically home 24/7 to care for your fur babies. I will watch small, non aggressive, potty trained dogs up to 35 lbs. I have 2 non aggressive 30lb French Bulldogs ages 3 and 8. I am a retired Fire battalion Chief and was also a paramedic for 25 years. I can accept longer vacation dates on a case by case basis as I also travel and need to book around my schedule. I spend time loving the pups in my care & playing fetch in my large yard. I also have a dog door for dogs to access yard. Your pups become my pups when left in my care. I don’t crate dogs unless requested. I request up to date vaccination records & that dogs are clean & flea free. Annual bordetella vaccine to prevent kennel cough is mandatory. All pups eat separately to keep dogs from eating another dog’s food & to prevent food aggression. Dogs are never left alone outside in my large fenced yard which is also locked for safety. I don’t accept aggressive dogs or those with food aggression. Dogs must be spayed or neutered. Meet and greets are always welcome and appreciated. Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m basically home 24/7 and I let the fur babies move about the house freely. They can cuddle with me on the couch if I’m watching tv or play with me outside. I have a large fenced yard with a small turf area. Dogs are not left unattended. As I mentioned before, I will play with your pups and treat them like my own. I also have two sets of stairs for your fur baby to access the couch or bed (different size steps) or I lift them as well. I have 3 different types of dog strollers for morning/evening walks if your fur baby isn’t a walker (like one of my frenchies).
About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
“Great experience! Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We’d definitely book again!”

“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!”

About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home
“Our pup had a great time with Dongjun and Minkoung! They sent us lots of photos of him and updates of him playing at the park and cuddling at home. Very easy and smooth stay. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been helping care for friends' and family's dogs since I was 10 years old. Because I've always loved dogs and hoped to have one of my own someday, I've spent a lot of time learning about dog care, behavior, training, and enrichment. I've worked with puppies frequently in the past and am comfortable with the extra patience, supervision, and consistency they require. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to a specific routine, I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits great into my routine. I have a flexible schedule, and I'm available throughout most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime and I always make sure to follow each pet's routine as closely as possible. While I do have some weekend commitments and can't do late nights, I have an otherwise open schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive the attention they need. When caring for puppies, I'm especially attentive to potty breaks, supervision, and maintaining any training routines. I'll also make keep the owners updated throughout the day.

“Nanci was the absolute best! Continuously gave us updates on Buddy and even took care of a medical issue he had. I never once felt worried about him because he was clearly given tons of love and attention. Thank you Nanci!”

About: When I was little, my next-door neighbor relied on me to take care of her old cat for weeks at a time! As I’ve grown and started my journey in the animal health field, I’ve been pet-sitting for the veterinarian at the clinic I used to work at- who owns cats that require a specific diet, and one who requires insulin injections and medication! I love cats just as much as I love dogs, and care for their well-being more than anything! It would be my pleasure to take care of cats of any age!

I am so very grateful to have found Felicia. She went above and beyond....she even came over at the last minute for a meet and greet as it was a last minute booking. Highly, highly recommend!!”

“Highly recommend. I have a small dog that suffers from separation anxiety. Rachel made sure that our dog felt safe and provided her plenty of company. Rachel was very responsive, professional and friendly. She has a beautiful home and a safe back yard, and lives in a great neighborhood with good places for dog walks. We look forward to more stays with Rachel in the future.”

“Elizabeth and her family were great! We could tell Opal had so much fun with the kids and Iggy and we were so glad she had time to socialize with the whole family. We’d definitely have them care for Opal again.”


“We were visiting Folsom for a birthday party and left our Pomeranian with Shannon for about 4 hours so we wouldn't have to worry about Belle getting fed by the kids and all. It was so nice to be able to relax while Belle hung out with Shannon and some other dogs! All went well and we got a few videos of Belle! Shannon was very good at communicating with us.”


“I'm so grateful for Brian caring for my dogs! I know when I go to pick them up today, they are not going to want to come home! I've gotten tons of photos with my two doggos laying comfortably on the couch on blankets and pillows and playing in the backyard. They are definitely in their happy place! 🐶💜🐶 Brian is the best!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“We are so happy that we found Nanci. She is so nice and provided a wonderful day for our pup. She sent pictures and videos throughout his stay so we could see how he was enjoying his day.”

About: Over 30 years of pet care experience! I’m the type of person that stops by the side of the road to save a lost animal. My dog is a swimmer, not a walker! I work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. Definitely looking for a morning walker and am open for home drop ins otherwise. Safety is key, it is summer right now so pets should be indoors most the day. Early morning or late evening walks are best. Check the ground temperature and do not walk your dogs when its hot!
“Henry and Sharon have been amazing dog sitters for my 7month old puppy Bodhi. They watch him for puppy daycare one day weekly. They are very communicative and reliable and make sure they understand your dog’s personality and care needs so they can make it a comfortable and positive stay. We had a meet and greet with their dog Rufus prior to setting up daycare and Bodhi and Rufus play very well together. They always send a Rover card documenting how the day went with photos and potty breaks. They even go above and beyond and give Bodhi mental enrichment with puzzles and healthy treats. Thank you Sharon and Henry for taking such good care of my little boy!”

“Joseph, Catherine and the kids were so lovely! They were warm and friendly and we could tell our pup was comfortable with them from the get go which we appreciated so much. We would absolutely have Opal stay with them again!”


About: Hi! Feel free to check out my review and photo section!! My favorite things are audiobooks, long walks, and spending time with dogs and cats so this work feels like a perfect fit. I approach pet care as a way to support others, not just as a service. I’m not here to overcharge—I simply enjoy being someone dependable and trustworthy that neighbors can count on. I’ve been working with a few local families and recently joined Rover 🐾 Check out my photos section!! Local, reliable helping hand for pet sitting, babysitting, caregiving, and event help. I work for a property management company so I have a flexible schedule and love helping neighbors whenever they need an extra hand. My work is mostly from my laptop or phone so what works for you works for me! When caring for clients’ homes and pets, I always make sure everything is how it was left and treat it with care and intention. I respect that someone’s home and pets are very personal to them, so I make sure things stay clean, organized, and comfortable while they’re away. My goal is for you to come back to a happy pet and a home that feels just the way you left it. Whether it’s overnight care or a simple walk in the day I’m here to help out!
“We dropped off our dog at Deborah's house for dog sitting. Our dog really likes Deborah. She is kind and patient and you can tell she really likes animals. We were updated regularly on how our dog was doing with messages and pictures. It made us feel like she was in good hands. We will definitely book Deborah for more sitting soon!”

“Lisa was excellent with our cairn terrier Sophie. We booked Lisa with fairly short notice and she was able to accommodate us. Lisa communicated with us and sent pictures during the stay. She gave Sophie plenty of attention and Sophie was relaxed and happy when we returned. I would recommend Lisa to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

“Oreo had such a wonderful time with Barbara! 🐶❤️ She took great care of him and made sure he had a great walk and plenty of playtime. Her dog was super friendly, and Oreo had so much fun playing with her. It was so nice knowing he was in such a caring and loving environment. I really appreciate how well she took care of Oreo and would definitely recommend Barbara. We’d be happy to have Oreo stay with her again”

“Michael & Patricia were amazing! Honey was a last minute daycare, they were so loving. You can tell they love to give to dogs they provide services for. I will be taking Honey back just because they are so genuine. They provided me feedback the whole time and photos. Gave me a complete update when I picked her up.

“Aguarin is such a nice and sweet guy. I need to find a babysitter very last minute. He replied to my daycare request right away, was super responsive and nice about everything. He also sent me timely updates during the day and my corgi looked very happy and cozy. Definitely recommend!!”

“Alexa was wonderful with our shy pup Ollie. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. Ollie takes time to warm up to new people, and Alexa was incredibly patient and she let him come around on his own terms. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little guy. Highly recommend Alexa!”

“Dorothy was wonderful! She was friendly, reliable, and took great care of Daisy during her walks. Daisy was always excited to see her each day and clearly enjoyed getting out for exercise and plenty of time to sniff and explore. It gave us peace of mind knowing Daisy was in such caring hands. We definitely would recommend Dorothy for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”

“Amy is very thorough and thoughtful. She took copious notes on my senior dog and changed her diaper and wiped her paws awesomely per my request. When faced with language barriers, Amy is still communicative, kind and respectful— my mom liked her too!”

About: Hii there!! I’ve have taken care of many animals my whole life, In 2021 I started working at a boarding facility that loves and accepts fur baby’s of all kinds of personality’s! I love the pups and kitties that are happy to be loved and given attention but am aways ready for a crazy love bug or nervous pup/ a kitty that just needs space or might have spice (I don’t do at home cat boarding). If needed I can provide Nail clipping and grind for dogs! also clips for cats, bunny’s, guinea pig’s, and bearded dragons. My best interest is always your fur baby’s comfort and to not to stress him/her out, I have learned over the years body language of pups and kitties and when what’s going on is to much “how to read the room” I’ve cared for many puppies (preferably when vaccinated) And have dealt with many crazy puppies! I’ve cared for lots of older pups as well, if they need extra care I will always be sure to give them that and the love they need. If your older pup or younger pup needs medication I have been trained on giving medication in food/ treat, pilling, and injections. If you have any questions about my services or how I can help you and your fur baby be sure to ask :) I’d love to meet you little lady/man!! My weeks are always filled with taking care of Pups and kitties along with my own 4 legged friends and I couldn’t see it any other way, It always makes the day better meeting and getting to love your furry friend! I will always do my best to give your fur baby the space they need when needed or the love they want when wanted, making sure they have a good experience with someone new! And if needed give some special care for the fur baby's that need a little extra help and love, trying to give them the love and support I would give my own baby!

“Our border collie had a great stay while we were camping in the Redwoods National Park and our return was delayed by a day. Amy and Justin were happy to extend our pups stay! Thanks you so much!”

“Our experience with Kimberlee was stellar! She is professional, kind, and a super great communicator (sending us messages and photos of our pup while there). She also had to give her medication while we were away and Kimberlee attended to every detail. She made our frenchie a part of the family and our girl LOVED being there! She also has a frenchie so I'm pretty sure our Cabi now has a new best friend. Thank you Kimberlee for being so awesome and making us (and Cabi) feel at ease while on our trip!! You are the best! :)”

“Alexa bonded instantly with our pup and was committed to providing him with the best home away from home possible! She sent loads of pictures and checked in regularly, and it was clear from the photos that he could not have been happier! Thankful to have found such a happy place for Brady to land - he is looking forward to future stays with Alexa!”

About: My attentiveness with dogs who need a little extra care. I've looked after a senior dog, learning to adjust to a slower pace and keep a close eye on her comfort and needs. I've also cared for a reactive dog, so I'm comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I'm home throughout the day to give your pup steady attention, and I treat every dog like one of my own. My mornings start around 8am with a 20 minute walk, followed by treats when we get home. I serve breakfast around 11am and offer treats a couple more times during the day. I usually let the dogs out in the backyard for 5–10 minutes once or twice between the morning and evening walks. In the late afternoon, around 4–5pm, I take the dogs to the dog park, or if it's too hot, we wait until 6–7pm for a 20–25 minute walk instead. Before bed, I let them out in my backyard one last time. Your pup will get steady attention, exercise, and lots of love all day long. My backyard is fully fenced and secure, so dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely. I have two friendly dogs of my own who make great company for visiting pups. At mealtimes I separate the dogs into different corners so each one can focus on their own food without stress. During the day I let them out in the backyard for 5–10 minutes at a time, and before bed I always go outside with them to supervise and make sure everyone is safe and settled. Your fur baby will be in a calm, secure, and attentive environment.
About: We had our own dog that we cared for from puppyhood, so we’re very comfortable with everyday dog care. We have a soft spot for smaller pups and love giving them lots of attention, cuddles, and love. We treat every pup staying with us like one of our own. We’re able to plan our schedules around the pups we’re caring for and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and company. With two of us caring for them, they’ll have plenty of company and love throughout their stay. We live in a new, dog-friendly apartment with dedicated areas for pups to walk and play. We make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while staying with us. We always follow their usual routine and any instructions to help them feel right at home.
“Jena and her family took the absolute best care of our dog, Juno. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands. They treated her like one of their own, and it showed. Juno was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We had total peace of mind while we were away, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jena again. Highly recommend!”

“I can't say enough great things about this experience! We've never boarded our cats so I was nervous on how they would respond. With the daily updates from Elaine on how they were doing it warmed my heart that they seemed to make a new friend. Elaine is incredibly warm and fantastic with our cats. Such a gift for us to have her care for them!”

“Thank you so much Maisy for taking care of our pup over the weekend! We knew he was in excellent hands and reassured that he was receiving so much love from your family. We will definitely contact you for future bookings!!”

“Amber watched my dog Squid for two nights. Squid has bad separation anxiety and struggles being away from home. Amber was fantastic and our dog seemed to love staying at her place. We’ll definitely be booking again.”

About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
“Great experience! Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We’d definitely book again!”

“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!”

About: I've been helping care for friends' and family's dogs since I was 10 years old. Because I've always loved dogs and hoped to have one of my own someday, I've spent a lot of time learning about dog care, behavior, training, and enrichment. I've worked with puppies frequently in the past and am comfortable with the extra patience, supervision, and consistency they require. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to a specific routine, I always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits great into my routine. I have a flexible schedule, and I'm available throughout most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime and I always make sure to follow each pet's routine as closely as possible. While I do have some weekend commitments and can't do late nights, I have an otherwise open schedule. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive the attention they need. When caring for puppies, I'm especially attentive to potty breaks, supervision, and maintaining any training routines. I'll also make keep the owners updated throughout the day.
“The best dog sitters! Our dog is very shy with people and he warmed up to Rai and Debraj so quickly. They sent us photos and videos daily so we knew he was happy and doing well. We couldn’t recommend them enough!”

“Walee took care of our 6 month old puppy, Miski. We are very thankful for her kind and loving attitude. Walee went above and beyond! She kept us informed with texts and photos; she made Miski feel like she was part of their family and even took her to the dog park!. Walee's dog, Ike, is adorable and super playful. Ike and Miski became great friends. We think Miski is missing Ike a bit. Her other dog, Suchi is a loving senior citizen who wasn't up to the energetic playfulness of Ike and Miski. Walee has a large property, dogs can roam and run, but also she brings them inside and spoils them with couch time. First class service. Thanks!”

“Derek and Leslie were awesome with my Lucy! They sent daily updates and pictures and made sure that she was comfortable with the family. They only had their own dog, which was nice that it wasn't a "dog hotel". I will be contacting them again in the near future.”

“Irina was great with my Maddie! Irina provided some nice pictures throughout the stay and is very easy to work with. Definitely recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Debbie is the best!! We recently lost our long time dog sitter and were anxious about leaving our senior dog with GI issues and anxiety with someone new while we left town for a few days with limited cell service. Lila didn’t even want to come home when we picked her up!! She was very comfortable with Lila’s needs, sent us updates and was flexible on pickup time. I’ve used a lot of dog sitters in my time and she is one of the best!! So competent, communicative and a true animal lover. Thank you Debbie!!”
