“Absolutely wonderful person and family for our pup to stay with! Amanda was great at caring for our senior pup and we appreciate knowing she was in safe hands during our trip.”
“Diane was really great. I'm pretty sure Sadie had a great time. Diane was very communicative with us and always responded quickly to anything. We will definitely have Sadie stay there again.”
“Grant is the only one who I trust now to look after my dog. He understands dogs better than anyone else I have ever met. Grant "reads" them, he bonds with them, he sees stuff that I do not (and I have had dogs for decades). His property is ideal for dogs; it is not so much dog "boarding" as it is *dog summer camp*!!! Grant is trustworthy and careful. He is in contact regularly, sending wonderful photos and videos of the dogs playing, sleeping and just being dogs. After I saw what my dog was up to, I booked again. Grant is the best!”
“Both our dogs absolutely LOVED staying with Linda. When they were picked up both were happy, tired, and relaxed. Loved all the photos from Linda, and the property is like dog heaven! Definitely will be utilizing her services again ?❤️”
“Buttons always seems to have a good time with Amanda and her family. Amanda always sends updates, photos, and videos. Buttons gets socialization skills which she needs. Amanda is a great sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter.”
“The best as usual! We forgot our dogs food this time and they went out and got food for us because we didn’t have time to turn around and go back. Our dogs love going here and we never have to worry!”
“We loved having Ruby watch our pup and take such amazing care of him! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and felt at complete ease during our whole vacation. She provided several updates a day, with pictures and videos. Thank you so much for taking care of Rocky!!”
“Pam was awesome with Otis! Our normally anxious little fellow immediately warmed right up to her. Pam has a calm, relaxed personality and is very experienced with caring for dogs. She more than met our expectations, paying close attention to all of our instructions, taking Otis for daily walks and even allowing him to stay in his normal routine by sleeping in bed with her. Pam's home is very clean and tidy and yet also dog friendly and pet welcoming. She reported Otis took a real liking to her husband as well. Pam kept in contact with us, sent a picture and we felt confident that he was in good hands! We will definitely be booking Pam again. So glad we found her!”
“Lilly seemed to have a great stay with Samantha. Lilly had fun running around, chasing tennis balls and a frisbee and even decided to take a plunge in the kiddie pool. Samantha was great about sending us updates and pictures of Lilly’s stay. Thank you Samantha for everything!”
About: We absolutely love animals, and want to share our home and fenced yard with your pooch. We understand what it’s like to leave your dog with someone else while you’re away; we will treat your dog like a member of our family. I (Diana) grew up on a farm with lots of different animals and dogs, and understand how each one has their own fantastic personality. Just let me know what they need, and I can do it. We’ve had puppies, older dogs, big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between! My tween/teen kids are kind and fun with animals, and will provide even more love and attention for your dog while they stay with us. Thank you for trusting us with your favorite furry buddy! We primarily work from home so we can spend a lot of quality time with your dog. We have a Newfoundland-poodle mix of our own, so our daily routine is already focused on dog care (feeding, walking, letting outside, etc). Just let me know what your dog needs! We also have goats, chickens, outdoor cats, and a couple of feral peacocks that hang around the property. It’s a pet paradise. 😊 We have a large fenced yard and a big goofball named Hoagie to keep your doggy company. We will love and care for your dog as if he/she was our own, because that’s what we would expect for Hoagie while we’re away. We have extra pet beds, food and water dishes, etc. Our yard is perfect for a game of fetch, a sunbathing session, playtime with Hoagie, or just a great sniff. We’re happy to have your dog sleep in one of our bedrooms, take them for walks, and give them all the love.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been cat sitting for a friend for the passed 3 years. I can handle giving medication and large dogs. I'm a Preschool Teacher during the day looking to help where I can. 😊 I work Monday through Friday, however I'm off fairly early at 3:30pm everyday so afternoons, evenings, and weekends are free. I have no pets anymore so they will have all the attention! There is a lovely creek that runs through my complex for walks and plenty of toys and energy! And for the older furr babies they are more than welcome on the furniture for cuddles. I also have treats if they are okay for their diet 😊 I have experience with giving medication as well if need be.
“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!”
“They’re just the sweetest couple and so great with Bentley and they sent me updates and just cared for him and loved on him so much and I am so grateful that they were able to do last minute overnight care. I couldn’t recommend them enough! They were so communicative and they were amazing from start to finish and so accommodating, and I honestly couldn’t think of more great things to say”
“Kristine and Joseph are hands-down our first choice for watching our senior pug. They care for him as if he were their own and I always feel completely at ease leaving him with them…I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Shannon is amazing. It was our first time using Rover and she was the best person to experience this service. We love it. From getting updates (photos videos and messages) to answering all questions we had the whole time. Excellent service. Highly recommend Shannon, and we look forward having our Luna stay with Shannon and her family in the future. Thanks for everything.”
“Allie was absolutely fantastic with our anxious pup, Shiloh! She showed incredible patience with Shiloh’s anxiety, creating an environment where our nervous girl felt safe and comfortable.What impressed us most was her adaptability and patience not only with Shiloh but also with us. We had several unforeseen incidents during our international trip (i.e., communication difficulties) that would have annoyed even a saint, but she handled everything like a true professional, always maintaining a positive, friendly attitude. Her communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and addressing any concerns promptly. We loved that her three kids love to play with dogs! They all helped out with Shiloh, giving her plenty of attention and playtime, which was wonderful for her socialization. Seeing how much her whole family enjoyed interacting with our dog made us feel even more comfortable leaving her in their care. It’s clear they genuinely love dogs and know how to work with different personalities and needs.I can’t recommend Allie (and her family) highly enough for anyone looking for a reliable, patient, and skilled dog sitter, especially if your pup has special needs or anxiety issues. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Why Your Dogs Will Love Staying with Me Are you looking for a place where your dog can feel at home while you’re away? Look no further! As a trusted dog sitter, I offer a unique boarding experience that makes every dog feel like part of the family. A Home Away from Home When you leave your dog with me, they won’t be stuck in a kennel or left alone. I welcome dogs into my home, where they become a part of our daily lives. They enjoy a comfortable, loving environment just like they would at home, with plenty of attention and affection. A Fun and Engaging Routine Dogs thrive on routine and play. That’s why I make sure each day is filled with fun activities. We start with playtime in the morning to get their energy out and have another session in the afternoon to keep them active and happy. In the evenings, we all hang out together, ensuring they get the companionship and relaxation they need. Tailored Feeding and Diet Care Feeding time is crucial, and I make it a smooth and enjoyable experience for each dog. I feed them separately to avoid any food fights and ensure they can enjoy their meals in peace. Plus, I stick to the feeding schedule provided by their owners, so they stay on their regular diet and routine. Focused on Comfort and Well-Being While I don’t handle specific training or behavior requirements, my focus is on providing a stress-free and comforting environment. Your dog will get the care and attention they need to feel secure and loved throughout their stay. By choosing my dog-sitting services, you’re giving your dog a happy and loving temporary home. Feel free to reach out to learn more or to schedule a stay for your furry friend! I work remote part time which allows me lots of time with your pets. We walk in the mornings and early evening with playtime in between. Evenings consist of hanging out watching movies and settling in for the night. I have a large fenced backyard for the dogs to play and a large deck to sunbath. Dogs always sleep inside in the evenings. feel free to bring a crate if your dog is crate trained.
“We are very pleased and so appreciative of Katelyn and Brock. Rhiannon and Shadow were well taken care. I got daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away for 5 days. GREAT people! Would definitely ask them to watch my cats again.”
“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”
“Maryjane was great! She stepped in when an emergency forced my other sitter to end the stay early and she picked up the care for my cat without missing a beat! My cat clearly loved her, too. He was happy and well fed, and my apartment looked great when I got home! I will definitely book with her again!”
About: Not only do I have 10 years of experience of pet sitting, I have experience working with shelter dogs. I’ve been with Placer SPCA as a volunteer for many years. I work with fearful, excitable, shy and even reactive dogs on a weekly basis. I make sure to give them the best care I can provide. I have plenty of free time and my shelter schedule is very flexible! I spend most of my time caring for pets or working with animals. I am someone that you can contact last minute for pet sitting! I will make sure that your pet gets all the love, care and attention your best friend could possibly need. I provide mostly overnight care, in which I make sure your pup is cared for in the same way you do every day. Building trust is very important to me, I’ll make sure to send pictures of your dog (or other animals) along with a report of how they are doing and any other info you may need.
About: Hello! Living with Family for the Summer in LOP. I’m proud to be giving my dog unconditional love and the best life I possibly can, just like I’ll do for your loved one while they’re in my care. Your consideration is appreciated! I just recently located to the Auburn area. I love to frequently walk, go to the dog park and hike with my dog Abbey (or with my friends and their pups.) while also finding ways to play at home like throwing the ball. Hopefully your animal enjoys that too! While not currently offering boarding- In our home we have two dogs and a cat to help keep your pet company (all very friendly with other dogs or cats). They will have constant attention and love available to them. In YOUR home I'm very good at respecting following any detailed directions about your pets and/or your home itself.
About: I grew up around dogs my entire life, we’ve always had various pets in our household from bunnies, rats, ferrets to German Shepard’s, pit bulls and chihuahuas. I’m always home on the weekends, usually just chilling in bed watching movies, or go for a nice walk on the beach or in downtown. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! *Please do not book with me if your dog cannot be left alone during the day. I work from 6a-3p during the week and I have a small apartment so I cannot have them barking the entire time I’m gone. Thank you for understanding* I do work during the weekdays but I work close to my home so I can always come home on my lunch to give midday potty breaks if needed. I have a consistent schedule and am usually home by 3/4pm. Dogs are kept separated when I am not home and I also have 24/7 camera on my apartment so I can always keep an eye on the dogs when I’m not there.
“Ashley did it again! Another amazing job taking care of our cat. We booked Ashley to visit our cat while on vacation for 2 weeks, but days before our trip we got surprised with a construction project in our home. Ashley rolled with it, made sure our pet was safe and cared for, all while navigating workers with random schedules and weird home situation. She was in constant communication, and even worked out extra visits with me when she thought the stress of construction and being alone was affecting our pet. I cannot stress this enough: Ashley is who you want looking after your family!!”
“Dillon was is just what we have been hoping to find in a caregiver for our cautious and smart Border collie, Spud. He is the one who she will be caring for on future visits so she has been given him time to decide if he likes her. We are very pleased how she has not rushed him, but is giving him just enough attention to let him know that she is a friend. We are happy with the results she is having with our very cautious, fearful dog. He generally barks and backs off from anyone who he does not know, but we can see that he is already beginning to warm up to Dillon. We are very pleased with the progress so far. Thank you Dillon!”
About: I am a college student who misses her pets at home and wants to spend time with others here! I have a special place in my heart for cattle dogs and pit bulls as well as cats and unusual animals (rats, anyone?). Growing up I frequently cared for my neighbors' pets as well as my own Aussie, cats, rabbit, and birds ensuring that all are clean, fed, watered, and happy. Now I'm doing the same thing with my fish, and hope to soon expand to your best friend! Due to the college life, I have a strict schedule but promise to do my utmost to maintain flexibility and faithfulness. Typically, I will have time in both mornings and afternoons to visit your best friends; it all depends on which days are free. I will work with you to ensure that your friends are safe and protected until you get back! I have experience with dogs who have attachment issues and need extra protection and care when their Person is gone and will always treat them with the utmost respect and care.
“Nicque took very good care of my senior cat. She was able to earn her trust and give her medications. Nicque provided great communication and photos so I knew my cat was taken care of when I was gone overnight. Will be using her again soon:)”

I’ll care for your pets with plenty of snuggles, walks, throwing a ball, help with training, and lots of love. I can crate and leash easily for comfort.

I hope I am a good fit and I can't wait to take care of your furry family members! I am able stay at your house but because I work at Target, I may need to leave the house for 4-8 hours every day. I am able to accommodate whatever your pet needs. And I am comfortable with crate training pets and giving oral medications.

Unless I know your dog well, dogs will stay on leash during any outings.
“Sabrina is a joy to work with to watch our lil dude Nico. Her communication is fantastic and she always went the extra mile to ensure he was well-cared for. We had complete ease of mind being away and knowing that he received lots of love, cuddles and care.”
“Meaghan has been a great help to our family who needed care last minute for a family emergency. She was communicative, flexible and took great care of our pets. I woul not hesitate asking Meaghan y to ovpet sit again!”

“Their home and property is fantastic. My dog smiled every minute she was there. I would give Linda and her husband 10 🌟 if I could! My Ruby was treated with genuine loving ❤️ care...”
About: I grew up on a large family farm with all kinds of animals. We recently had two senior Shih Tzu's that each had their own special needs. After the loss, we are ready to open our home to new pups! We love all dogs and animals of all kinds. Our property is a large 3 acres. Our large backyard is fenced. We enjoy hiking and long walks. My husband works from home so there's someone always here for potty breaks, snuggles and treats. We do have one friendly, easygoing cat. Your dog must be comfortable around cats. We are happy to give medications or whatever special needs that you might require. My husband works from home and we are generally homebody people. I work about 32 hours a work. I am usually at work at 10 am and home by 5:30 pm. Our cat is self-sufficient and has his own bathroom space with his automatic food feeder and litter box. This limits dogs from being cat box curious.
“Koko loves to visit Diane & Augie, and we love sending her because we know how happy and well cared for when she is there. We also appreciate how well Diane communicates before, during and after the booking.”
About: My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is not just cared for, but cared for with genuine love. I’ve been caring for pets for years and truly treat every dog or cat like part of the family. From playful puppies with endless energy to sweet senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my attentive, personalized approach — I don’t just “watch” pets, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important routines are, whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or keeping up with daily walks and playtime. I work from home, which means your pet will never feel “left alone” during the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give plenty of attention, walks, and play breaks throughout the day — not just morning and evening check-ins. I also share my life with Barkley, my friendly dog who loves having new buddies around. He’s a great companion for pets who enjoy company, playtime, or just having another dog to nap near. Together, we make sure your pet feels safe, entertained, and part of the family. Whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, long walks, or snuggle breaks between meetings, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily rhythm — not something I squeeze in. Your pup will have the best of both worlds here — space to run, play, and explore, plus all the comforts of a loving home. We live on an acre of land with large fenced dog runs, so pets can enjoy plenty of safe outdoor time. Whether your dog loves to zoom around, sniff every corner, or just lounge in the sun, there’s room for it all. Inside, pets are treated like family. I make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and included in the daily routine. Walks, play sessions, and cuddle time are built into the day, and I keep a close eye to make sure everyone is safe and happy. With my own dog, Barkley, as a friendly companion, visiting pups usually settle in quickly and feel right at home.
“Shout to Stephen for providing responsive and professional care to my 4yo labradoodle Gracie. Stephen is patient and kind to Gracie and all her personalities, so we rely on him for weekly daycare which involves early drop offs, updates throughout care, and late pickups. Stephen responds quickly and is happy to help so hit him up for inquiries.”
“Amanda made my husband and I feel super comfortable leaving our anxious doggie with her. She was responsive to text messages and sent regular updates (including photos). She is knowledgeable about dogs and is sensitive to the needs of rescued pets. We highly recommend her and would re-book her in the future. Thank you!!”
“Sienna provided a quick response to my booking request, and was willing to take my dog on short notice. She has a large yard, and clean pet friendly home for him to enjoy during his stay. I have complete confidence in her ability to take care of my pet, and I look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up haveing all types of dogs and animals dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, ferrets. I love all types of animals and really enjoy working with dogs. I have worked with dogs rescues in Los Angeles and foster a lot of dogs from all ages. I have worked training a lot of dogs for not pulling on leashes to being fully off leash dogs. I am safe with reactive dogs and specialize in strong breeds. Keeping dogs safe and allowing them to make good choices is my top priority. I have trained with top trainers with my own dogs and work with balanced dog practices. Structures and rules lead to Great dogs and treats along the way. Learning what makes each dog tick and connections are so important. Each dog is so special and giving them the world even if it’s just one pee break and a cuddle is the best feeling. I am currently in town for the next 2 months due to my full time job on hiatus. I am fully available and pretty flexible. If my service area doesn’t cover you please send me a message rates can be adjusted to include travel further. Safely is my top priority with dogs. Keeping a dog safe with a new person is so important. Deleting on what the dog is accustomed to i use Leashes and slip leads , Ecollars, prong collars whatever the client wants and what works best to get the dogs and clients needs met. Can take the dog out by the house or out to a lake for swimming and ball throwing. I am very aware of my environment to keep the dog safe from others and feel a private area is best for dogs while under my care. I have a even tempered 2 year old playful dogs as well that may join the adventure once I feel comfortable with your dogs and them knowing me.
“Pam is the best!! So glad we found her. She is very experienced and has a calm and confident nature with dogs. Pam gives your dog undivided attention as she only takes one dog at a time. Perfect for our anxious little guy! Otis is a couch and bed surfer during the day so I love that she allows dogs on the furniture. Pam could easily become Otis's "surrogate" puppy parent! Kudos to her husband Dave as well, who "chills" with all the dogs on the couch!! I could see a bond forming!! Thank you Pam!! We will definitely be calling again.”
“Amanda was very gracious towards our very naughty puppy. Apparently, some of the nervous behaviors that we don’t see at home came out with an unholy flourish at Amanda‘s home. But I appreciate the fact that Amanda gave us a full and honest report (which is helpful for us to gauge the areas he still needs significant training) and was very kind about the negatives. The most important thing, though, was that he settled down in the car almost immediately. Our dog is a very nervous dog, so if he has had a rough time at a dog sitter, we know right away because he whines and whimpers all the way home. After leaving Amanda‘s house, he winded for about 60 seconds and then went to sleep. Hallelujah! Thank you, Amanda, for the top quality care you have given to our very low quality puppy. I am especially grateful that Amanda was willing to take the puppy at the last minute, because my husband had a hospital procedure and I had completely forgotten about making arrangements for the dog. What a godsend Amanda has been.”
“Dolly takes a bit to warm up to new people and, although it took awhile, she eventually warmed up to Jessica. When I came to pick up Dolly she seemed like she was at home, extremely comforting to know our pup was and is in good hands!”
About: I have been a dog owner all my life and have had cats as well. I treat all animals like they are my own babies. I am currently a stay at home mom so what ever the pup or cat needs, I will be here to make sure it is cared for in the best way possible. I have a house with a fenced in backyard. I have a small dog myself and can be here for them all day. I can walk around my beautiful neighborhood and show love and care.
“Nicole and Jarrod are great, they always send lots of pictures and my pup always comes back tired and is excited to see them again. I can feel good about leaving my baby with them”
About: Santiago and Josie Nuñez With over 15 years of experience in caring for dogs, we treat every dog like family. As proud owners of three dogs—two Boxers and a Papillon mix—we understand firsthand the love and attention they deserve. We work Monday through Wednesday and are available for drop offs Wednesday evening. Our Schedule is flexible if needed to drop off on off days We have 8 acres of land with a secure, fenced area for the dogs to roam, as well as kennels for times when close supervision isn’t possible.
“Leslie was my kind of people, AND my doggos' kind of people! She was patient with my anxious guy Walter and delighted in the antics of our puppy Dolly. She was lovely about my concerns and allowed me to sit with the dogs to ease into the stay and socializing with her dog Daisy, who was gracious about the energy my dogs have! We will definitely be back! Thank you, Leslie!”
About: I have been a pet owner for all of my adult life. I have had cats, small dogs, and big dogs. I have successfully trained all of our pets to be obedient loving extensions of our family. My pets are much more than just pets! They each bring their own unique personality to my home that adds character and life. I treat them with love and care as they give so much of that to me daily. I am retired. I am often home outside of weekly errands, appointments, and time spent with grandchildren. I would love to welcome your furry friend into my daily adventures. I have a fenced yard that is manicured and perfect for dog exploration and exercise. I also have Finley, my goldendoodle, who loves to have pals to play with! I have crates that can be utilized as well if there is a need.

About: We are a family full of love for pets! My Husband has volunteered at Sammies Friends walking dogs, and at home we have three indoor-outdoor cats, and a Chihuahua named Bella who’s 10 (my Daughter’s). We had to put down our 14-year-old chocolate lab named Yotis a few years ago, and was my Husband’s best friend! My Son’s 12 year old German Shepard Zani passed a couple years ago as well, and she was the best dog addition to this family. We have always had dogs and cats in the home, and all are friends with each other and they each have unique personalities! We have a dog park nearby as well! The oldest cat I have had was a tabby named Chica, and got her at 8 weeks old when I was 16, and she was 15 when she passed!!! Our pets are our fur family and we love them all!!! Kids are all grown up now, and my Husband is gone a lot as a Fire Captain, so I am more than willing and available to housesit dogs and/or cats in your home. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people and pets. My Husband works 3 days on, 4 days off and likes to help with your pets as well. He is a Dog Whisperer, and I am the Cat Lady! We love taking nature walks, and have both been on Rover since before COVID in 2019. I am available at any time due to my kids being older now, amd we don’t currently have a dog of our own. I love getting out of the house and exploring new neighborhoods and areas especially during Spring and summer. We have resided in Nevada County for decades! We don’t dog board due to having too many household members and pets already, but in your home they are taken care of exactly how they should be. With compassion and love.
About: I grew up in Hawai'i with 3 sweet, older pits, pretending to eat grass as one of the pack. Always looked forward to playing with friends dogs after school and taking them to the beach with us. My first job at 12 years old was puppy sitting my neighbors golden retriever, I was hooked! I've walked and watched friends dogs throughout and after college, worked at 2 daycare & boarding facilities. Fell in love with every dog big or small, young and old! We cared for all ages and accommodated strict diets, oral meds and ear drops etc. I'd love to meet and care for the pets in my community on my free time. *Recently adopted 2 yr old Corso requiring slow socialization, will hopefully be able to accept daycare and boarding again soon. Thanks for understanding :) I love pets, plants and art. While I freelance from home and maintain several clients gardens, my schedule is flexible enough to check on your pup, go for walks and get them tired and tended to so they are happy to relax! I will adhere to your house rules and boundaries during drop ins or walks. Happy to drive to a nearby park if within reasonable distance. Your dog will likely show me their route around the neighborhood :)
“Stephen is very friendly and communicative letting you know exactly when he will arrive. He is great with our yellow lab finding ways to help with his pulling on walks. I would highly recommend Stephen for your next dog walk!”
About: Having animals ranging in all ages since I was 5 has definitely helped but also helping friends and family since the age of 13 has been the best experience. I am available 24/7, our animals are just as important as us so I believe in having time for them whenever you or them may need it. Always following directions given by owner and doing thorough checks throughout the time I am with your 4 legged family. Staying aware of surroundings when out and about in walks.
“Dillon seems to be a dog person by nature—intuitive with my Australian Shepherd and clearly knowledgeable about training and working with dogs with reactive traits. I am so happy to have found her and feel great about working together in the future.”

Unless I know your dog well, dogs will stay on leash during any outings.
About: I started taking care of friends' and neighbors' dogs after retiring in 2024. My lifelong love for cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes is now my daily passion! As an active retiree, I don't have any pets currently, and the house is empty and waiting for my next furry friend! I've cared for everything from dachshunds to a Bernese Mountain Dog. I love cats, but I want to watch them in your home, not mine. Happy to house-sit, work overnight shifts, and care for senior dogs and puppies. Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have miles of walking trails and parks in the community, as well as an electronic fence for any dogs that need unrestricted access to a yard. I am fully retired and spend my days caring for your pets. Rarely will your important pet be left alone, if at all. I used Rover with my senior dog, Tucker, for over 5 years and met some wonderful people. It was a relief to me when I traveled, knowing my best friend was also enjoying his time in a safe, loving home. Now I meet new animal friends every week, and it feeds my soul and theirs. Your fur baby will have a dedicated sleeping space, feeding space, and unlimited access to our yard, depending on your needs. Full access to the entire house. I encourage you to bring toys, pet beds, crates, and any other items that will make your cherished pet comfortable. We are comfortable giving medication to older dogs, working with young puppies, and customizing our days to fit your pet's regular routines (such as walks, feeding, medication, and brushing). We have access to a private dog park, but we only go there after discussing it with you in advance. Note: we have an unfenced yard but use sound/ vibration to alert your pup if s/he is trying to escape. No electricity involved, just moderate stimulation. Most dogs learn the boundaries very quickly and without any discomfort.
“Natalie is kind, consistent and reliable. We’ve been very lucky to have her skillful, calm, presence assisting with daily walks and positive reinforcement training for our high energy pup, Kai.”
About: I am a college student who misses her pets at home and wants to spend time with others here! I have a special place in my heart for cattle dogs and pit bulls as well as cats and unusual animals (rats, anyone?). Growing up I frequently cared for my neighbors' pets as well as my own Aussie, cats, rabbit, and birds ensuring that all are clean, fed, watered, and happy. Now I'm doing the same thing with my fish, and hope to soon expand to your best friend! Due to the college life, I have a strict schedule but promise to do my utmost to maintain flexibility and faithfulness. Typically, I will have time in both mornings and afternoons to visit your best friends; it all depends on which days are free. I will work with you to ensure that your friends are safe and protected until you get back! I have experience with dogs who have attachment issues and need extra protection and care when their Person is gone and will always treat them with the utmost respect and care.

I am usually free on weekends. I do not take spontaneous trips. All my trips are planned in advance so I can work things around it. I will follow the rules of your house when I am there. If you say "No dogs on the furniture.", then I will make sure no dogs on the furniture. I will adhere to any strict routine you have in place for feeding or walking. I will also send daily pictures of all animals while I care for them.

About: My family has owned pets all of my life. Part of the duties for my first high school/college drop included taking care of my bosses four dogs. They included walks, play time, and grooming mainly. I'm not currently working, other than helping with my grandma when she requires, so I have all day free to walk, or play with, or check in, etc with pets. I have a 9 year old cat (Millie) that likes to keep to herself and an 18 month Goldendoodle (Gracie) who is super friendly and LOVES to play. I have a small yard that is not fenced, but a small porch that can be fenced that Gracie likes to hang out on when the weather is nice. I have a large living room with plenty of open space to play in. Plus a variety of walking routes around the house that Gracie loves to go on.

About: I don't have much professional experience walking dogs. I lived across from a cute pot dog mix for 8 years. When her own went on trips he would have me look after Sophia. This included walking her, feeding her. Cuddling with her. I would also take her on walks to the store or with her owner would take her to the pond or lakes. I have kids who I'm wanting to teach responsibilities to, so when possible I would have them help on the walks or feedings. I'm mostly a stay at home mom. I do house cleanings a few times a week for a few hours in the morning. I also have kids to take to and from school and activities but my availability is still pretty open. Love getting out in nature having a dog out there to play with would make it that much better. Love spoiling pets with cuddles and treats

“Absolutely wonderful person and family for our pup to stay with! Amanda was great at caring for our senior pup and we appreciate knowing she was in safe hands during our trip.”
“Diane was really great. I'm pretty sure Sadie had a great time. Diane was very communicative with us and always responded quickly to anything. We will definitely have Sadie stay there again.”
“Grant is the only one who I trust now to look after my dog. He understands dogs better than anyone else I have ever met. Grant "reads" them, he bonds with them, he sees stuff that I do not (and I have had dogs for decades). His property is ideal for dogs; it is not so much dog "boarding" as it is *dog summer camp*!!! Grant is trustworthy and careful. He is in contact regularly, sending wonderful photos and videos of the dogs playing, sleeping and just being dogs. After I saw what my dog was up to, I booked again. Grant is the best!”
“Both our dogs absolutely LOVED staying with Linda. When they were picked up both were happy, tired, and relaxed. Loved all the photos from Linda, and the property is like dog heaven! Definitely will be utilizing her services again ?❤️”
“The best as usual! We forgot our dogs food this time and they went out and got food for us because we didn’t have time to turn around and go back. Our dogs love going here and we never have to worry!”
“Lilly seemed to have a great stay with Samantha. Lilly had fun running around, chasing tennis balls and a frisbee and even decided to take a plunge in the kiddie pool. Samantha was great about sending us updates and pictures of Lilly’s stay. Thank you Samantha for everything!”
About: We absolutely love animals, and want to share our home and fenced yard with your pooch. We understand what it’s like to leave your dog with someone else while you’re away; we will treat your dog like a member of our family. I (Diana) grew up on a farm with lots of different animals and dogs, and understand how each one has their own fantastic personality. Just let me know what they need, and I can do it. We’ve had puppies, older dogs, big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between! My tween/teen kids are kind and fun with animals, and will provide even more love and attention for your dog while they stay with us. Thank you for trusting us with your favorite furry buddy! We primarily work from home so we can spend a lot of quality time with your dog. We have a Newfoundland-poodle mix of our own, so our daily routine is already focused on dog care (feeding, walking, letting outside, etc). Just let me know what your dog needs! We also have goats, chickens, outdoor cats, and a couple of feral peacocks that hang around the property. It’s a pet paradise. 😊 We have a large fenced yard and a big goofball named Hoagie to keep your doggy company. We will love and care for your dog as if he/she was our own, because that’s what we would expect for Hoagie while we’re away. We have extra pet beds, food and water dishes, etc. Our yard is perfect for a game of fetch, a sunbathing session, playtime with Hoagie, or just a great sniff. We’re happy to have your dog sleep in one of our bedrooms, take them for walks, and give them all the love.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been cat sitting for a friend for the passed 3 years. I can handle giving medication and large dogs. I'm a Preschool Teacher during the day looking to help where I can. 😊 I work Monday through Friday, however I'm off fairly early at 3:30pm everyday so afternoons, evenings, and weekends are free. I have no pets anymore so they will have all the attention! There is a lovely creek that runs through my complex for walks and plenty of toys and energy! And for the older furr babies they are more than welcome on the furniture for cuddles. I also have treats if they are okay for their diet 😊 I have experience with giving medication as well if need be.
“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!”
“Alexa is an angel! We have two dogs whom are used to being with my husband and I 24/7 because we both work remotely. We are very selective in who we have watch our boys while we are gone (typically family or friends would come to our home and stay with them)… but we moved from Southern to Northern California so need to figure out an alternative. After searching Rover I came across Alexa’s profile and read each review and she stood out as someone that could be a good fit for my boys. I reached out and was immediately impressed with Alexa’s responsiveness, and decided to proceed with an introduction. It couldn’t have gone better. Alexa had clearly studied my dogs profiles to get familiar with the basic needs of each and I appreciated the questions she asked to understand their normal routine. Within just a short time of drop off, Alexa sent an update with pictures which allowed us to see that they were making themselves right at home and enjoying play time and snuggles. My Boys looked relaxed, content, and exercised. I’ll definitely book with Alexa again!”
“Sandra walked and played with Emma each day. She cuddled her and took great pictures of Emma having fun each day. Emma felt right at home with Sandra . Sandra was professional and on time and prepared . Great dog sitter and thank you !”
“Melissa was the perfect person to take care of our Sara. She had a great time with Melissa’s pups and family. She kept us informed on how Sara was doing each day. This was great for us as it was Sara’s first boarding experience. We know Sara had a blast!! Melissa thank you for welcoming Sara, Rich and I. We enjoyed you and meeting your family!! Hugs 🤗. Thank you.”
“Nicole went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and well adjusted to her home. She also went above and beyond with communicating with me! I’ll be booking again!”
“George was very happy in Amy&Justin care. We received frequent and positive updates about his stay. There were very flexible and easy to communicate with us. We are very satisfied and would recommend!”
“Lisa was great with our dogs! She provided regular updates with photos and was flexible with our schedule. This was our first time having them stay with a pet sitter and I would be happy to book with Lisa again.”
“Coco and Jeff were absolutely wonderful with my anxious dog. They had clear communication, were flexible with scheduling and very caring; My dog was more relaxed than she usually is after boarding. Would definitely 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!”
