“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”
“Our wild puppy loves staying at Acharas! She gets to play with other dogs and always comes home tired. We are so grateful to have a reliable and caring home to send our puppy to whenever we are out of town. Achara sends me cute picture updates of our dog having fun. Thank you!!”
“Annie is great! She’s so sweet and kind! She accommodated every need for my Bella and went above and beyond. Check ins were good and she even bathed my dog. She treated Bella like her own and for that, I’m thankful!”
“This was my first time using this app. I was referred by a friend who had used it for her pup. This also was my first time leaving my pup with someone and I was so worried however, Irina comforted me during the pre-meet and throughout his stay she sent me daily updates with pictures and assured me he was doing great. It was such a relief. She was awesome and my pup definitely had a great time with her. She's very welcoming, kind, and just a sweetheart. The first time I met her I could tell her love for animals. I'll definitely be booking my pup with her and only her for any future sitting.”
“Wenchi was super sweet and provided me with updates and pictures of Cosmo during his stay with her! He was a very happy wiggly pup when I went to pick him up. Thank you!”
“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”
“They were so accommodating on such short notice. Gave Bodie the quiet space she needed on the final leg of her spay recovery. Received many updates along with photos. I don't think she wanted to leave when it was time to pick her up. Wonderful people and will definitely keep Marie & James in mind for next time. <3”
“I wasn't sure my dog Max would want to come back home after spending time with Mayra and all the beings in her warm and comforting home. Her kind and gentle nature put us all at ease.”
“Other than daycare with Briana, this was Coco’s first overnight experience away from home. We were away for 7 days and had complete confidence that Coco was in caring and loving hands. Briana sent daily photos and always responded immediately when we contacted her. We are so thankful for Briana!!!”
“Wow! Thank you so much, Yifang and Wing! Charlie has been through a lot. Before I adopted him, he had been surrendered to the shelter twice, so he gets very nervous and scared around new people. Yifang and Wing were absolute lifesavers. They were so patient with Charlie and took the time to make sure he felt safe and comfortable. They sent the cutest photos, took him on walks, and gave me so much peace of mind. The sweetest part was that by the time I got home, they really knew Charlie and his little personality. It was clear how much they cared for him. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my boy. I highly recommend you!”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog for a few days for a work trip, but I appreciate that Tammy was open to doing a pre-meeting to meet my dog and put me at ease. I also appreciate that Tammy kept me updated with pictures everyday while I was traveling. Would book again!”
“Zariyah is terrific. My spoiled pup just left Zariyah’s place after a 6 day stay. (Big deal for my household.) Downright heartwarming how my pup just sat at Zariyah’s feet calmly while she and I chatted about the stay. Spoke volumes about how safe my pup felt around her. Zariyah is excellent about the mechanics of boarding four-legged children: thorough meet-and-greet, wants and shares details about food / temperament / meds / etc., “proof of life” pics and videos throughout the stay. Will def be back. Thanks again, Zariyah.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Aya! We went on our longest family trip and left our pup with Aya. She had great reviews and knew she would take good care of Sianna, while we were gone. She sent updates and pictures, and in each photo, our dog looked happy and was having fun. If you need to find excellent care for your dog, we highly recommend Rover and Aya! We trusted her with our beloved dog and know she will take great care of your too!”
“Anthony is top-notch! He took great care of our King Charles Cavalier for four days. Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog playing with his dog, Kai. He took our dog on many walks to the local park and played fetch with the dogs his backyard. Anthony was very flexible with pickup/drop off times and had everything ready to go when it was time to take our dog home. I highly recommend Anthony for dog boarding and we will be rebooking with him in a few weeks.”
“I just got my fur babies back from Anais’s overnight stay. She was so kind and caring to them! They adjusted well, and I was really happy with how she took care of them and kept me in the loop. We’ll definitely recommend her as a sitter again and can confidently recommend her to other fur parents who need pet care.”
“Vanessa and her family were absolutely fantastic with our dog! We were kept up to date on daily activities and pictures with how he was doing! He was definitely treated like family and we will definitely be returning the next time we need a sitter!”
“My pup had a great time at this doggie resort- the large backyard, shade and Zuko made it a wonderful place for my nervous girl. Seeing how Marilee interacted with Monina gave me the peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. Will definitely rebook whenever I need to travel.”

“Victoria did everything we asked for and stayed in contact when she had questions or concerns. She was consistent when coming to our house and our cats took an immediate liking to her. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your animals.”
About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!
“Hans worked really, really hard to get the cats out of their shell! My male cat said "no!", but my female cat decided that he was a good human who would deliver treats and petting (and listen to her complain). We came back to happy, well fed cats and a clean litter box, which made for happy humans. Thank you Hans!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and my major responsibilities started at about 8 years old. I aided my own senior dog with her health issues as well as my neighbors dog who requires extra medical attention. I am well-versed in dog-breeds and the nature of these animals. I love all dogs and have always been the dog-walker for my neighborhood. I have experience with puppies and am comfortable with large dog breeds. This will most likely be my main job, as I am a university student returning home for the summer. I am super flexible schedule wise and can easily meet any expectations. I have a fenced yard and my own dog who is 10000% dog-friendly. I am used to crate-trained dogs as well as those who may need to be restricted in the house. They will have my full attention no matter the environment to ensure they are well taken care of.
“You can tell Reginay loves animals. She is very patient and works with your pet to make sure they are comfortable. Very communicative and will send pictures and videos throughout the day. Toni loves his stays there. 🥰”
“Liz is a gem! We would 10/10 recommend her. We were fortunate to find her to care for our two elder cats at a time when they needed extra special attention. One had just started injections, and the other antibiotics. Liz was exceptionally attentive, caring, detail oriented, and meticulous in learning their needs and routine. The cats immediately took a liking to her gentle and positive energy, even in a time of great stress for them - and they were so happy to be near her almost immediately. She provides thoughtful communication and pictures during her visits, and put our anxiety at ease so we could enjoy our time away knowing our fur kids were in such good hands. We are grateful to her for being our sitter and know you will be too.”
About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve been rescuing and caring for both cats and dogs, as well as helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets whenever they were away. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and care. I make it a priority to keep pets on their normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their individual needs and treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and confident while you’re away.
“Very kind and communicative! Stayed with our pups in a hotel while we went to a family wedding. Felt very confident leaving our semi anxious dogs in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Esmerilda took great care of our kitty and was lovely to work with! She is also pre-veterinary and has a lot of experience working with animals, which makes her very qualified. She checked in at the designated times and sent us cute reports and pictures. She is wonderful. We trust her and would definitely use her services again!”

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. 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: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From growing up with family pets to regularly watching the dogs and cats of friends and relatives, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and routines. What truly sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine bond I build with each pet—I treat every cat and dog as if they were my own. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away, and I pride myself on providing consistent, attentive care that brings peace of mind to both pets and their humans. Pet care is a natural and essential part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around my pets’ needs because their well-being is always my top priority. From morning walks and mealtimes to playtime, grooming, and evening wind-downs, I make sure every aspect of their care is handled with attention and love. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally make time for. That same level of dedication and reliability carries over when I care for other people’s pets, as I treat them with the same love, respect, and responsibility I give my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or new clients, I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency in their routine. In my home, I create a calm pet friendly environment where cats and dogs have space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I maintain a regular schedule for feeding, walks, play time, and bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in the client’s home I respect their space and stick closely to the routine, their dog is familiar with. I also provide regular updates photos, messages, and check in so owners feel connected and reassured.
About: I have owned and cared for cats and dogs my entire life. I’ve also looked after other pets for friends and family while they were away on vacation. I genuinely love animals and understand the importance of providing them with attention, care, and companionship. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m here to help and ensure your pets are well cared for while you’re away. I will help care for your pets while you are on vacation or unable to care for your pets while you are at work or need a short break. I have a gate , my pets all stay inside, my big dog stays outside in the back and on nice days he will come to the front yard since it’s fence in.
“Jenna took amazing care of our dog Whiskey while my partner and I were on vacation for two weeks. Whiskey was staying with my parents but we needed someone to give her some exercise. Beyond giving Whiskey her regular walks, Jenna was a great communicator, and also went above and beyond. On her second walk, Jenna noticed that Whiskey seemed a bit off. (She had just had a foxtail removed a few days prior). Jenna went out of her way to communicate what was going on and even called Whiskey's vet to make sure there was no medication she had been given that might be causing tiredness or confusion. All ended up being fine, but I really appreciated that Jenna was so attentive, and it made my partner and I feel very reassured that Whiskey was being taken great care of while we were out of town. Jenna will be my go-to person in the future and I strongly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi! My name is Liz. I recently re-downloaded Rover after being away for a few years, and I’m excited to start pet sitting again through Rover. I’m a college graduate with years of experience caring for pets through my mom’s Rover account, along with ongoing cat sitting jobs and trusted repeat clients. I’m known for being a great communicator, dependable, and attentive to both pets and owners. I offer house sitting, drop-ins, walks, overnight care, and can also help with light household tasks like bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, pulling trash cans in or out, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away. I especially love caring for senior pets and pets who do best staying in the comfort of their own home. I understand every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I always try to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re gone. For overnight stays, my fiancé may occasionally accompany me for safety and comfort purposes, but your pet’s care and respect for your home always come first. I’m happy to communicate openly beforehand so everyone feels comfortable and confident. Feel free to message me anytime with questions. I respond quickly and would love to see if we’re a good fit for you and your pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule during the week. Outside of pet sitting, I spend my time applying to jobs in clinical research, running errands, doing chores, and meeting with friends, which gives me plenty of availability and flexibility for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets never feels like a chore to me. I’m very attentive with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. At this time, I only offer care in my client’s home because I have an anxious 9-year-old tabby cat at home, and I want to keep his environment calm and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For overnight stays, I usually stay in the guest room or designated area of the home, and many pets enjoy sleeping nearby or spending time with me throughout the day. I’m very respectful of your home and prioritize cleanliness, safety, and communication. I make sure doors are securely locked, pets are supervised carefully, and feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and potty breaks are handled consistently. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and comfort level to help reduce stress and keep them happy during your absence. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy, and loving environment where both you and your pets feel comfortable and cared for.

I am able to care for not only dogs, cats, and rodents, but a wide variety of reptiles, birds, and invertebrates!

I am also able to bottle feed young puppies or kittens if you are needing time off from doing so! I am currently a college student who does asynchronous work.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and fostering animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets I care for. I make sure to schedule time each day for walks, play, and relaxation, ensuring that each pet gets the attention they need. Whether it's a morning walk, an afternoon play session, or evening cuddle time, I adapt my schedule to suit the pets' needs and preferences. I also ensure that I maintain open communication with pet owners to accommodate any specific routines or requests. Pet care is not just a job for me—it's a rewarding part of my day that I approach with love, consistency, and dedication. I have a fenced yard and one friendly cat to keep your pet company. I am able to provide a protected and clean living environment for your pets.

“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”
“Our wild puppy loves staying at Acharas! She gets to play with other dogs and always comes home tired. We are so grateful to have a reliable and caring home to send our puppy to whenever we are out of town. Achara sends me cute picture updates of our dog having fun. Thank you!!”
“Annie is great! She’s so sweet and kind! She accommodated every need for my Bella and went above and beyond. Check ins were good and she even bathed my dog. She treated Bella like her own and for that, I’m thankful!”
“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”
“They were so accommodating on such short notice. Gave Bodie the quiet space she needed on the final leg of her spay recovery. Received many updates along with photos. I don't think she wanted to leave when it was time to pick her up. Wonderful people and will definitely keep Marie & James in mind for next time. <3”
“Other than daycare with Briana, this was Coco’s first overnight experience away from home. We were away for 7 days and had complete confidence that Coco was in caring and loving hands. Briana sent daily photos and always responded immediately when we contacted her. We are so thankful for Briana!!!”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog for a few days for a work trip, but I appreciate that Tammy was open to doing a pre-meeting to meet my dog and put me at ease. I also appreciate that Tammy kept me updated with pictures everyday while I was traveling. Would book again!”
“Zariyah is terrific. My spoiled pup just left Zariyah’s place after a 6 day stay. (Big deal for my household.) Downright heartwarming how my pup just sat at Zariyah’s feet calmly while she and I chatted about the stay. Spoke volumes about how safe my pup felt around her. Zariyah is excellent about the mechanics of boarding four-legged children: thorough meet-and-greet, wants and shares details about food / temperament / meds / etc., “proof of life” pics and videos throughout the stay. Will def be back. Thanks again, Zariyah.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Aya! We went on our longest family trip and left our pup with Aya. She had great reviews and knew she would take good care of Sianna, while we were gone. She sent updates and pictures, and in each photo, our dog looked happy and was having fun. If you need to find excellent care for your dog, we highly recommend Rover and Aya! We trusted her with our beloved dog and know she will take great care of your too!”
“Anthony is top-notch! He took great care of our King Charles Cavalier for four days. Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog playing with his dog, Kai. He took our dog on many walks to the local park and played fetch with the dogs his backyard. Anthony was very flexible with pickup/drop off times and had everything ready to go when it was time to take our dog home. I highly recommend Anthony for dog boarding and we will be rebooking with him in a few weeks.”
“I just got my fur babies back from Anais’s overnight stay. She was so kind and caring to them! They adjusted well, and I was really happy with how she took care of them and kept me in the loop. We’ll definitely recommend her as a sitter again and can confidently recommend her to other fur parents who need pet care.”
“Vanessa and her family were absolutely fantastic with our dog! We were kept up to date on daily activities and pictures with how he was doing! He was definitely treated like family and we will definitely be returning the next time we need a sitter!”
