About: I’ve raised puppies, kittens, baby birds, chickens and various other animals, I’ve also had experience working on a dog farm and groomed various types of breeds. I’m available for part-time work and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I am open to working Monday-Sun as long as it’s planned at least a week in advance. I have a fenced large yard with two separate deck areas, I am open to bringing the pets over and housing them or going to a clients house and pet sitting, walking or even bathing if needed in a comfortable and familiar place for the pet.
“Linda was so great with our dear Moki lab/husky mix. She sent pictures and updates and I always knew our dog was in the best hands. I would use Linda's services again in a heartbeat!”
“Denise and her girls were fantastic with my pup Archie. She kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos! She even made homemade treats with her girls for Archie. He got to take a bag home. So happy with Denise, I will definitely be leaving Archie with her again.”
“Sylvia was just perfect! She is obviously an old hand at caring for dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my Beagle/Jack Russel mix with her for eight nights while I was out of the country on business. We did a meet and greet a few days before my trip and I instantly saw that it was going to work. Her location in central Phoenix near the Phoenix Country Club area is probably on the way to or from the airport for many. Very convenient... The one thing that impressed me the most when I dropped my little guy off at the start was how Sylvia reviewed my printed instruction sheet on feeding and meds very carefully. She asked questions and confirmed details. She also sent a nicely worded report after the first night that helped me relax about leaving him and then another report on how he was doing near the end of the trip. It was just enough to keep me informed and happy that he was doing ok. When I picked up Harvey at the end of his eight night stay, he was glad to see me, but not too glad. He seemed happy and content. And... that is the most you can ask of a sitter like Sylvia... to take care of your little loved one like he was her own... Sylvia certainly did with flying colors! Thanks again Sylvia!”
“Jenn watch my GSP Scout while I was on vacation. Jenn was very accomodating for drop off and pickup times. She send txts of how Scout was doing during her stay. I will be using Jenn again to watch Scout the next time I go on vacation! Thank you Jenn for watching my girl!”
About: I have had dogs and puppies many times in the past years so I am familiar with the needs of older dogs and puppies. I enjoy walking and taking walks with your dog. I am retired, living in the foothills of Jackson. I can be available to travel to your home, stay in your guest room, and hang out with your pets, or take your small pet at my home. When dogs and I walk I enjoy getting to know the surrounding area. Many times a neighbor will talk to me when we are on our walks! I am retired. Since I am available to travel to your home and stay there with your pets while I enjoy them and the time spent reading and visiting local attractions. Should you wish to use my home for care, I am home a lot while going out for a couple of hours at a time for my social meetings and such. I appreciate that much of the time I spend will be at your home with your pets. If I go out they will be wherever you leave them when you go to work or play. I always make sure they are safe and that I return in time for walks, their next meal and shared evening and sleep routine time.
“Sherryl is the Best! She is extremely loving and good to her dogs and my dog during her stay.. Your dog will be well taken care of there. Her house and property is perfectly set up for taking care of dogs, fences yard, doggy door to the inside of house if your dog can fit through it, if not, like my dog,(she's about 65 pounds), don't worry it didn't matter one bit because of how attentive Sherryl was during our dogs great stay with her... Highly recommend!”
“Sara was great! Lovely home on a lake, secluded and quiet with fenced in dog play yard. Her older dog was great with my young puppy and she sent me photo updates frequently. I would use her again!”
About: We have had dogs in our home our entire life. They are always a family member and treated with the best of love and care. I come from a family of breeders and a hunting and show dogs. Our seniors are loved and cared for savoring every last day. We have a ranch with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and explore as well as a huge dog run. We offer different places to keep them safe if running off leash is not the best for your baby. I am a self-employed realtor, who works from home. My husband is a rancher and contractor so one of us is typically home there are times of course when we leave but everybody is locked up safe and sound and they are also welcome to take the car ride with us should we need to run some errands. if it’s important that nobody ever leaves your baby, we can make that accommodation as well. We have a 12 x 24 kennel with multiple dog houses we have kennels of different sizes. We also have a barn with 12 x 12 stalls. We have a fenced in deck that is 30 x 50 so there are many opportunities for your baby to be outside in the fresh air And still be safe. If your dog is an inside dog, we will keep him inside with us and he will be warm and cozy at bedtime.
“Emily and Sean are great! We always boarded our lab at our vet when we couldn't take him with us. A friend of ours told us about Rover and then I saw Emily's posting. Both her and Sean are nice, easy dog people. But also, they were professional and super on top of caring for Bruno. I am very happy to have found them!”
“Michele was amazing with Lira. We were sent amazing pictures of Lira being spoiled and loved on. The communication between us was spot on and everything was amazing. I definitely recommend Michele... She's amazing!”
“Rachele was fantastic! My dog was very comfortable with her and came home tired after hiking and running with Rachele. I will use Rachele any time I have to leave my pup. She is a home away from home for her!”
About: I have always been in love with animals, and so from a young age I have always been the one to help a person babysit there fur babies if needed, and what better way to spend time making money, taking care of different amazing animals.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. With dogs, I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, daily walks, exercise routines, basic training reinforcement, and administering medications when needed. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive interaction to keep dogs happy and well-behaved. For cats, I’m experienced in maintaining clean litter boxes, feeding routines, grooming, and creating a calm, stress-free environment—especially for more independent or shy personalities. I pay close attention to behavior and health cues in both dogs and cats, ensuring any changes are noticed early. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their animals are in caring, capable hands. I currently live and work full-time for Amador County. Outside of my 9-5 Mon thru Fri county work I am available for house and pet sits. I prefer to pet sit in clients homes, feeling that as little change as possible in a pets environment can reduce stress and separation anxiety.
About: I’ve always had pets in my house since I was young, I currently have a German shorthair pointer that is always up for a run so we are both active I am currently not working so I have time to take care of your pup or cat so they don’t feel lonely while you’re at work or running errands. I make sure my pup can run around and get his energy out in the gated yard, and make sure he isn’t getting into things he shouldn’t.
“I was very nervous leaving my kitty for the 1st time. Charlene came over and met with us and I made me feel very comfortable and less nervous. My kitty is very shy around new people but she seemed to take to Charlene very well. Charlene took really good care of her and sent me regular updates and photos of her so I was able to enjoy my vacation and worry less. I would definitely recommend Charlene and will use her services again if I need to travel again in the future.”

Then we all snuggle up on the couch and dog beds after meals while we watch a fun movie together.
“Shileen is excellent. It was quite obvious that our German Shepherd got attached to her quickly. Since she has two dogs of her own, she related to Gabby in no time at all. She played catch with her, walked around the properly with her, and updated us with photos daily. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog under her care. I will be requesting her dog sitting services again.”
About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets. I love meeting new animals and have lots of experience in this area. I have been walking dogs around my neighborhood since I was about 10 years old. I loved this experience which is why I have decided to dedicate myself to this line of work so I can always be available to help an animal in need. Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own. I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.
“I couldn't be happier with Jef and his time spent with my dog - Jax was clearly happy and content when we got home from our trip. Jef was responsive, flexible when I changed things up a bit, and I absolutely recommend him to other pet owners. I'll be contacting him next time we head out without our pup.”

My journey as an animal enthusiast and companion spans across my life. Growing up, I've shared my home with a diverse range of animals, from playful puppies to spirited teenage dogs, and even wise senior canine citizens. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but has also provided me with a comprehensive understanding of their needs and behaviors at every life stage. With my part-time job and flexible schedule, pet care easily fits into my routine. I make sure to stick to a regular feeding and walking schedule, and I use my free time to play and bond with my pet. Grooming and vet appointments are scheduled during my available hours, ensuring my furry friend gets the attention they need. This balanced approach helps me provide the best care for my pet while managing my work commitments. I've established a solid routine for looking after pets at clients' homes and during walks or drop-ins. Alongside ensuring they have proper food, water, exercise, and playtime, I'm careful to adhere to any specific guidelines provided by the pet owners. This can involve tasks like giving medications, sticking to their regular schedule, and creating a secure setting. I also maintain open communication with clients to foster trust and guarantee the well-being, happiness, and health of their pets.
“Sabrina took great care of my fur baby! I was a little nervous leaving my kitty with a stranger because she seemed a little nervous with new people. But she warmed up to Sabrina so quickly and now has new friends to babysit her! I would definitely have Sabrina watch my baby again. She takes wonderful pictures and videos! I recommend her for any fur baby in need of a friend! ❤️”

About: Hi, I grew up around several different animals of all sizes from rodents/reptiles to livestock/dogs. I have always had at least one dog in my life at all times. The more the merrier. I love all animals big and small. I worked at a kennel where I learned about boarding and training dogs for about a year and I have pet sat for about 15 years in grand total. I currently work at a pet store in Sutter Creek. I love being around dogs and training or even just hanging out and playing. I am a outdoorsy person. I have experience with livestock animals also. Horses, cattle, chickens, Lhamas, mini animals, donkeys. I have references also if you would like them. Our home is completely fenced and sits on 3 acres. We have two friendly german shepherds. I work part time so some days I am gone at work. But our 17 year old daughter is always home. We also go to church Sunday morning so we would be gone for a couple hours but otherwise we are always home. I care for pets in my home as I would my own. I have 3 German Shepherds. 10 months to 7 years old. As for in home pet sitting I would follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies already so it would be easier on them.
“Linda was ready to take care of our pups when we arrived. She has tons of experience with many dogs and we felt at peace leaving our two there for the day while we went to see the Sequoias. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again we will certainly contact Linda!”
About: Between growing up with cats and dogs, a parrot, horses, rabbits, and a tortoise, working with dogs in 4-H, showing my dog at the fair in the highest level of obedience, loving and caring for puppies, senior, blind, and deaf dogs, pet sitting for my neighbors and community members growing up, and working with clients through Rover doing drop in visits for walks, play time, feeds, and overnight house sits as well, I've become a well rounded animal caretaker and lover. Back at home after 9 months of traveling Asia, I am currently a free bird when it comes to scheduling, so please reach out with any requests for assistance meeting your pet care needs. With much TLC, tender loving care is how I care for pets. Additionally, I love for animals to be outside and so do I. My old dog and I used to go on so many hikes and swim in all of the creeks, having so much fun playing in the mountains. Despite enjoying dogs free of leashes, when I am walking dogs, I like to walk them on-leash as risk management to prevent unpredictable bad situations from arising.
About: I've always had personal pets and have been the designated petsitter for my neighborhood since i was a child. I've spent the last decade professionally training & boarding all types of dogs, cat, and falconry birds. I'm currently open and available all days of the week. My life is my dogs/family and there is always room for more furry (& feathery, scaley, ect) friends. 💜 I have a fenced garden area and 4 dogs at home who are crate trained. I can accommodate most requests and love a schedule & routine, whether in my home or in yours.
“Excellent! Tallulah was out like a light for the rest of the evening. Sabrina was very caring and kept me posted all day. Her visits will definitely be a regular thing. ❤️”

“We came into town from the Bay Area and wanted to do some whitewater rafting that wouldn’t allow dogs. Sara was kind of enough to watch our 12 pound shih tzu. Sara asked for his vaccinations records to make sure no dog would get sick, which was very reassuring to us. We felt very comfortable leaving him there and believe he had a lot of fun at her place playing with the other dogs. Sara checked in multiple times with updates and pictures and was very accommodating when we asked to pick him up an hour later than originally discussed. If we come to the area again and need a dog sitter, we won’t hesitate to reach out to Sara. We highly recommend her!”
“Emily watched my dog Prince while my family and I went to the lake at Twain Harte. She was amazing! The original time I had proposed didn't work, but she was very accommodating for a later drop off time. Thanks to her my family and I were able to go to the lake (where there are no dog allowed), and I had peace of mind the whole time. Thank you, Emily!”
About: I’m the neighbors trusted ally when it comes to keeping everything safe. I can love on less than friendly animals with ease - and I’m known to triple check every gate and door I’ve touched. Your animals are safe with me. Old animas Grouchy animals Rescues Cats, dogs, pigs, rabbits, sheep, horses, donkeys, horses. I am currently working from home as I manage a construction project - a small cottage inclusive of a one acre pasture. I also have weeks where I am available in the Bay Area for daily check ins and walks as I frequent that area at times. In your home I’ll follow whatever instructions are left. At my home - I have a one acre pasture in the back of my home and a quarter acre of fenced yard in the front. In addition, I have a 30 ft Rv with a full size couch and bed for pets. There they can roam free or stay crated if that is your preference. I love animals so if you think your buddy needs me to stay in the rv with them over night, I can do that too. I typically keep clients pets separate from my own unless requested. I usually start the day by taking each pet out to run and play in the pasture for about an hour… and end it the same way. I started pet sitting after a friends pet was lost in a Brentwood boarding facilities fire. Realized I am a safer option as I am always present and don’t leave anyone alone for more than an hour or so.

About: I have been owned by cats and dogs in the past. I recently transferred with my job from the East Coast to Utah, and now reside in Northern California and currently frequent the Humane Society to visit with the cats and dogs waiting for homes. Pet Sitting - I am able to walk them/feed in the mornings and after 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Thursday - Sundays more frequently. I do prefer overnight pet sitting. I am reliable, responsible and have a "knack" with most pets. I do need to know about any behavioral issues (likes to chew on things that aren't their toys for example). Do they do well with new people? I prefer not to sit pit bull terriers, but mixed breeds I don't have a problem with.

“As reluctant as I was to allow a stranger to come into my home, I was that much more hesitant to allow a stranger to walk my three dogs, in the end I knew I had no other choice but to hire someone due to my work schedule. While searching I came across Jef’s profile and I decided to go with him in booking dog walking for my three dogs. Jef even came to meet my dogs before he was to begin walking them the following day. From the initial message to the first time meeting, Jef maintained great communication and updated me each day after their walks. Jef definitely has something about him that made my dogs very comfortable around him. He quickly gained their trust and vice versa. Jef is also very persistent and knowledgeable in training dogs and helping to improve any bad leash habits. I will definitely be booking Jef for any future needs and I would definitely recommend him to anyone with pets.”

I always start by making sure the space is free of any hazards, like toxic plants or loose wires and that they have a cozy spot just for them. Building trust is key, so I take things slow, using positive reinforcement like treats and praise to create a bond. Whether it's playtime or just chilling, I'm all about keeping their routine consistent to minimize stress.

My journey as an animal enthusiast and companion spans across my life. Growing up, I've shared my home with a diverse range of animals, from playful puppies to spirited teenage dogs, and even wise senior canine citizens. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but has also provided me with a comprehensive understanding of their needs and behaviors at every life stage. With my part-time job and flexible schedule, pet care easily fits into my routine. I make sure to stick to a regular feeding and walking schedule, and I use my free time to play and bond with my pet. Grooming and vet appointments are scheduled during my available hours, ensuring my furry friend gets the attention they need. This balanced approach helps me provide the best care for my pet while managing my work commitments. I've established a solid routine for looking after pets at clients' homes and during walks or drop-ins. Alongside ensuring they have proper food, water, exercise, and playtime, I'm careful to adhere to any specific guidelines provided by the pet owners. This can involve tasks like giving medications, sticking to their regular schedule, and creating a secure setting. I also maintain open communication with clients to foster trust and guarantee the well-being, happiness, and health of their pets.

About: I've been pet sitting since the age of 9 (10 years give or take) doing both drop in visits and live-in care for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish. I keep in close contact with the owners during my stays; sending pictures, giving updates and sending questions.

About: We have had dogs in our home our entire life. They are always a family member and treated with the best of love and care. I come from a family of breeders and a hunting and show dogs. Our seniors are loved and cared for savoring every last day. We have a ranch with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and explore as well as a huge dog run. We offer different places to keep them safe if running off leash is not the best for your baby. I am a self-employed realtor, who works from home. My husband is a rancher and contractor so one of us is typically home there are times of course when we leave but everybody is locked up safe and sound and they are also welcome to take the car ride with us should we need to run some errands. if it’s important that nobody ever leaves your baby, we can make that accommodation as well. We have a 12 x 24 kennel with multiple dog houses we have kennels of different sizes. We also have a barn with 12 x 12 stalls. We have a fenced in deck that is 30 x 50 so there are many opportunities for your baby to be outside in the fresh air And still be safe. If your dog is an inside dog, we will keep him inside with us and he will be warm and cozy at bedtime.
“Emily and Sean are great! We always boarded our lab at our vet when we couldn't take him with us. A friend of ours told us about Rover and then I saw Emily's posting. Both her and Sean are nice, easy dog people. But also, they were professional and super on top of caring for Bruno. I am very happy to have found them!”
“Michele was amazing with Lira. We were sent amazing pictures of Lira being spoiled and loved on. The communication between us was spot on and everything was amazing. I definitely recommend Michele... She's amazing!”
“Rachele was fantastic! My dog was very comfortable with her and came home tired after hiking and running with Rachele. I will use Rachele any time I have to leave my pup. She is a home away from home for her!”
About: I have always been in love with animals, and so from a young age I have always been the one to help a person babysit there fur babies if needed, and what better way to spend time making money, taking care of different amazing animals. It brings me pure joy!:) I am pretty flexible and could do it any day of the week, but I prefer not to do over nights unless you are gone for long periods of time. I always make sure that other peoples pets are comfortable with me, and have everything that they need, and more. One on one time with the animals are also important to me as the bond clicks faster. I will always make sure everyone’s animals are 100% being taken of with only the best care! And loved!!!!
“Gabby was a great sitter for my dog. I was very comfortable the whole time I was on vacation. She provided updates with photos and it was great to know that her dog is friendly and got along well with mine. Thank you!”
“First and foremost Angelica was great. This was my first time having her watch my baby. She’s sent me daily updates with cute pictures attached. She took my baby to new places and tried new things with her. Thank you again ?”
About: I have been a volunteer trainer with the Sierra At Tahoe Avalanche Dogs since I was about 10. My father runs the dog program so I grew up being taught how to train, take care of, and watch over dogs since I was a toddler. At the ski mountain I helped drill the dogs to find subjects in the snow, played, walked, fed, took to the bathroom, and watched over the dogs ages ranging from puppies to senior dogs. My family also has three dogs and three cats all of I have assisted in training, and most of the time look after on my own. I recently left my job so I am open full time with my schedule to take part in pet care. On some days I do need to watch my own animals since my parents work full time, but even then I am always available for even just a check in if needed! I make sure my pets have a set in feeding time as well as they have a signal for bathroom breaks, even if they do not show me they need to go I will periodically let them outside or take them on a walk. Besides just food and bathroom I love to work on skills, tricks, and just playing with the dogs throughout the day as to make sure they are enriched and happy. These qualities go for all animals I may watch too! I pride myself in being able to recognize their behavior so I can adapt for them what they need or want!
“Our puppy had a wonderful stay with Margy over the weekend, she was happy and worn out from playing so much! Margy was very easy to work with, responsive, polite, and I could tell she was excited to have our dog stay with them. Would definitely recommend!”
