“First I must say I do not like boarding my baby Gracie at all. I needed to find some way I could board my Gracie that was not a kennel so I could be confident my baby would be well taken care of so I could enjoy my travel. Found Rover.com and decided to give it a try. Started searching the sitters & I found Irvin & Susan. The reviews were great so decided to do a meet and greet. Everything about the atmosphere was great as was Susan. Booked a short stay to see how it worked out. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures of how Gracie was doing. When I picked up Gracie she was her happy self & when we got home there was no sulking as there has been with a kennel. Fortunately, Irvin & Susan enjoyed by Gracie too. I look forward to using Irvin & Susan again next year when I go on my cruise and be able to enjoy my time knowing Gracie will be well taken care of. Thank You Irvin & Susan.”

“Beyond fantastic! Kasandra kept our cocker while we were away for 2 weeks. Not only was he very well cared for—he was actually better than when we left him! He is way calmer and has better manners than he had at drop off. Kasandra gave me some pointers that will help me a lot with him at home. This gal is a dog whisperer!! I could not be more grateful. Thank you Kasandra!”

“I’ve booked with her three times now. This time - for drop-ins with my cat, and she has been consistently great. She always makes sure his litter box is clean, his food and water are full, and she takes the time to play with him, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while I’m away. She does a wonderful job, and I’ll definitely keep booking with her!”
About: I've had cats since I was 5. My grandparents also has a farm so I have lots of experience with farm cats and feral cats. I've also worked for 10+ years with a local rescue, raising kittens only days or weeks old until they are old enough to be fixed and adopted - feeding them milk on a regular schedule and then weaning them onto wet food, then dry food, also teaching them how to be a cat by interacting with my cats. During the course of my volunteering I have also been taught various first aid treatments as well as how to administer medications and injections.
About: Hello, I am lexington a recent college graduate and I am trying to save money to go to vet school as well as get experience with different dogs or animals. I have experience with giving dogs shots and where to place the different kinds of shots on the dog or cat. I have worked with many different breeds at the butte humane society. I started out going twice a week to 3 times weeks for 6 hours weekly just to walk dogs and hang out with cats. I got up to 108 hours for a unit course which was cool. I have also helped with wags and whiskers events such as moving the dogs to the pen area so they could get adopted. I have also grown up with animals my whole life, since my first animal was when I was two and he was a black cat named mine. Full availability till the 27th of may and then I am available after 5:30 pm Monday-Thursday. Open availability on the weekends though. I would love to hang out with your animals since it makes me a happier person. I can feed them, clean litter boxes, play with the animal, I can also lay with the animal while watching tv with them. I can do heavy lifting if needed.
About: I provide reliable, personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine. I have experience with puppies who need structure and senior pets who need patience and gentle care. I follow detailed instructions closely, including meds and feeding schedules. What sets me apart is the attention and time I give, pets aren’t just checked on, they’re cared for and kept comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to stay consistent with walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Because I prioritize time and flexibility, I’m able to give pets reliable attention and keep their routines steady and stress free while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home only, not boarding in my own home. This allows pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. For walks and check-ins, I make sure pets get exercise, attention, and any care they need like feeding or medications. For overnight stays, I provide consistent companionship, follow their usual schedule, and keep their space clean and calm. I always stick closely to owner instructions and give updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I currently have two who are very spoiled with comfort and affection! I have taken care of pregnant Mothers and their litters that were left at my home. I’ve bottle fed and administered medications. I have had cats that live only indoors, only outside, and some who do both. Their food regimen, fresh clean water, and clean litter boxes are always a priority of course, as well as playtime, and pets and or cuddles (when they’re in the mood!) I am very aware of how clever cats can be and am adept at ensuring their environment is safe.
About: I have taken care of my friend’s pets as well as my own for months at a time. My friends are huge travelers so they will leave town at times and I get take care of their cats for however long they decide. I’m very good with keeping up with their feeding schedules as well!

I would love to spend all my time caring for your family companion! I have a fenced in yard and have a decently large yard for them to run and play and have many dog toys and treats!
About: I have always had animals growing up and have learned from a young age how to take care of them on my own. I have personal experience with anything from new puppies all the way to senior dogs and what their individual needs look like in different stages of their life. I am currently a part time college student but have online classes. I am looking for a part time job with flexible hours and something more rewarding than a retail job. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them, and would love the opportunity to take care of yours! Although, I am not offering to take care of pets in my own home as of right now, I can assist with what clients need help with in their homes. Some examples of services I can provide are walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding animals, and mild training such as walking on a leash without pulling or to sit and lay down.
“Misty was always on time for caring for our 2 cats. She sent us complete reports along with pictures which assured us that all is going well at home with our cats.

About: As a lifelong dog owner and passionate animal lover, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I offer reliable, loving, and personalized pet care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, playtime, or just some extra companionship while you're away, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing the attention, affection, and care they deserve. I am currently a substitute teacher, so I control my own schedule! I continuously care for my own animals: 4 dogs, 1 cat, 2 birds, 8 chickens, and one lizard. I have grown up with animals my entire life! I am well versed in dog and cat behavior and am able to tell when they are uncomfortable. I do my best to gain their trust if they are more shy individuals, and by the end of it we become best friends. Wherever I go I make friends with the animals around me!

“Great communication, including with a last minute booking. Daman is very friendly and clearly a dog lover. I felt at ease leaving our little guy with her for the day. Sure sent pics throughout and made pickup/drop off a breeze. Looking forward to working with her again!”
“Lynn was amazing! She went way above and beyond my expectation. I'm extremely protective of my pups and was worried about leaving them, but once I met Lynn and saw how she was with my little guys and with her own "babies", and how secure her yard was, I felt completely at ease and comfortable leaving them in her care. I didn't bring their food with me because we weren't leaving them overnight and they won't eat when we're not there. She made them chicken! which of course they ate right up. This woman LOVES dogs. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”

“Cheyenne is an amazing dogsitter who truly cares for her clients’ pets. She gives our dog Charlie so much time, love, and attention every time. Whether it’s taking him on a hike, to the beach, or doing training exercises with treats, I know Charlie is super comfortable and loves spending time with her even though he’s the kind of dog that gets separation anxiety. Having someone as trustworthy and thoughtful to take care of Charlie has made us feel comfortable to go on day trips or longer vacations without worrying about our baby. Thanks Cheyenne! 🙏”

I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my daily routine comes naturally. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize creating a safe and low stress environment. I take the time to learn each dog’s preferences, noting any special instructions, so they can feel as at home as possible while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time I also have a friendly, laid back older dog who gets along well with other dogs and helps visiting pets feel at ease.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to look after their pets, and I take that responsibility to heart. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including raising a German Shepherd who completed professional training, as well as helping with puppy training and basic obedience. At home, I have two cats, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand the different kinds of care and attention they need. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while keeping their routine as consistent as possible.

My husband and I are both animal lovers and work together to provide a welcoming environment where pets receive plenty of supervision and companionship. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible.

“Amber is wonderful! She spent all day dog-sitting my little beastie and even putting up with her messy, water-loving antics at very short notice.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, chickens, milking goats, sheep, horses, and even more unique animals—so being attentive to different personalities, needs, and behaviors comes naturally to me. While I didn’t have pets for several years after moving out of my childhood home, I now have my own dream dog and have spent the past year actively training and caring for him, including teaching basic commands and fun tricks. I take an intuitive, empathetic approach and focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, content, and cared for. As a parent, I understand how important trust and reliability are when it comes to caring for a family member—pets included. I’m communicative, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer. My schedule revolves around my kids, so I have the most free time while they are in school to care for all your pet’s needs. My hours of availability fall between 8am - 1:15pm.

“Emily was so wonderful. We all know that someone that can care for your fur baby (just as much as you do) is sometimes hard to find. However, after Day 1 of Emily walking Apollo (out of our 4 walks booked) I did not have to worry one bit. She even spent extra time with him since he was just enjoying his time so much with her. We will definitely reach out to Emily more often for just some extra care/walks now and not only for our of town/special occasions. Thank you so much again Emily!”
About: I've had the pleasure of loving and taking care of furbabies of all sizes for 20 years. I first started pet sitting for an acquaintance in 2005. Later, when I became established in the area as a trusted house cleaner, I started pet sitting for some of my clients and their friends. Sadly, I lost all my clients and contacts save one in the Camp Fire as my client base was in Paradise and Magalia. Since then, I have taken care of my own little furbabies and ever so often cared for the Chihuahua/Pug/Terrier mix of the one remaining client from Paradise. Within the years that I was actively pet sitting, I took care of dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Whippets. I am excited to once again assist you with your pet sitting needs and ensure the best attention is given to your dog’s health, happiness, and well-being! For my clients in Paradise and Magalia, I did both drop-ins and overnight stays. (My favorite memory was staying with two little lovely Dachsies for three weeks!) I made sure each pet I took care of was fed as per the instructions given to me and that they had access to fresh, clean water. Whether it’s maintaining a regular meal routine or making sure your pet stays hydrated throughout the day, I prioritize comfort and health for all furbabies in my care. I also have experience administering medications, whether oral or topical, and am dedicated to ensuring your pets specific medical needs are met with precision and care. I know personally the importance of a vet's instructions and the proper maintenance of a consistent medication routine. I also know the importance of exercise in keeping a pet happy and healthy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous activity, I am happy to ensure that your pet gets the exercise and playtime they need! Above all, each dog that I have taken care of I have treated as part of my family. I look forward to providing your furbaby with the same love, attention, and care that I have given to my past clients and to my own pets! I currently have a day job between the hours of 9:00AM and 3:30PM, Monday through Friday. My hours are flexible with my day job and I can switch obligations around as needed to suit your pet sitting needs. I do not work on weekends. I can be available during the day on week days, and am available nights during the week, and evenings and nights on weekends. For any pet in my care, whether it has been a client's pet or my own, I have always ensured that they have gotten plenty of love and quality care. For past clients, I adhered to all instructions given pertaining to feeding time, exercise and medications if applicable. I made sure there were plenty of cuddles and that every pet in my care felt safe and secure.
“Lexington was amazing!! She was wonderful with my dog, who is on the more sensitive side. Despite my Mildred's initial anxieties, Lexington was able to win her over with her patience and kindness. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter, especially if your fur baby needs a little extra TLC 🩷”
About: I’m a huge animal lover of both cats and dogs! I’ve had experience training puppies and also caring, walking, crate training, and maintaining a healthy feeding schedule. I’m open any day of the week at any times and I’m able to come house sit. Most animals are comfortable in their own home so whatever works best for them. I will ensure a safe environment for your pet whether that be crating your pet, keeping a close eye on your pet, and providing them play as a healthy distraction as you arrive.
About: I provide reliable, personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine. I have experience with puppies who need structure and senior pets who need patience and gentle care. I follow detailed instructions closely, including meds and feeding schedules. What sets me apart is the attention and time I give, pets aren’t just checked on, they’re cared for and kept comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to stay consistent with walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Because I prioritize time and flexibility, I’m able to give pets reliable attention and keep their routines steady and stress free while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home only, not boarding in my own home. This allows pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. For walks and check-ins, I make sure pets get exercise, attention, and any care they need like feeding or medications. For overnight stays, I provide consistent companionship, follow their usual schedule, and keep their space clean and calm. I always stick closely to owner instructions and give updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

I am so excited to have the time to care for and love your furry friends! I work from Tuesday-Friday and I will be available after 7pm Friday. Saturday-Monday I am available at all times.

About: I grew up here in Northern California with many different loyal pet dogs. After high school I joined the Army and got out of active duty in 2017. Long story short I moved to Alaska with my pet dog from Yuba City where I learned to be a dog musher and she learned to be sled dog. I’ve worked for various different high level sled dog kennels, thousands of different dogs, thousands of hours with dogs, thousands of miles with dogs, and even spent a year working at an Athletic & Longevity Canine Research Facility under the mentorship of some of best veterinarians and scientists. My knowledge and experience in general canine medical care, psychology, and training is advanced. I currently work from home & have a flexible schedule. I open to the special needs & care of your beloved pet from all ages. Each pet is individually unique when it comes to specific pet care, so I will work diligently with owners to best understand their pet. I have 1 spayed female 8 y/o Shepherd/Husky mix who is well tempered, a lead sled dog, well socialized to keep your pet company(friendly with both dogs & cats). I have a dog door that leads to a fenced in backyard. Regularly scheduled feeding, walks, & bathroom breaks.
About: I love pets with all my heart. I have a Yorkie of my own (his grooming is done by yours truly). I have taken care of my own, family, and other people’s loving companions. I have also worked as a kennel tech in the past! I currently have a full time job but am in the process of making this my full time gig! I would love to spend all my time caring for your family companion! I have a fenced in yard and have a decently large yard for them to run and play and have many dog toys and treats!
About: Hi friends! I’m here to give your furry (or feathery) family member all the love and care they deserve. I use positive reinforcement (the ultimate game-changer for animals and humans) to help your pet feel happy, grow, and build trust (whether they’re a pup, cat, guinea pig, or bird). Your pet will get plenty of playtime, exercise, and structure while I’m with them. Got specific training or behavior goals? Let me know, I’m happy to help! I usually care for pets in your home, but mine’s an option too if that works better. Can’t wait to meet your awesome fur baby soon! Pet care integrates into my daily schedule, given that I work remotely and have control over my own meetings. Whether your furry companion needs an early morning wake-up call, assistance during late evenings, or even overnight care, I'm here to cater to your precious pack member's every need! My approach to pet care is rooted in finding a strong connection and nurturing trust. I tailor each day's activities to meet the unique needs of your furry family member, taking into account both their requirements and your preferences for their experience. A typical day under my care looks like a well-structured routine, including scheduled exercise sessions, thoughtful social interactions, strategic feeding times for training purposes, and an abundance of cherished bonding moments. I have hands-on experience with both crate-trained and bed-friendly animals. My approach to caregiving aligns with the boundaries and care routines you have established for your pet.
About: I am a loving pet mom for 15 yrs and before and during that time I have helped many others with their animals. I can sit, check in and play with, and take for walks. I love animals and giving them attention because I know it is so important. I work from home so I love reasons to get out of the house and pet friends to keep me company at night. I work and stay 100% near the outskirts of Yuba City. My pets and their friends safety in #1 in my house and yard. I have a very large fenced in back yard and I have proofed it so not even very small dogs (like mine) can find a way out. I am an avid pet counter before doors are open and I double and sometimes triple check that the home is secured before I leave, we don’t want any babies to get out of their safe space.
About: As of May 2024, I am NAPPS (national Association of Professional Pet Sitters) certified! I have over 15 years of experience handling dog breeds sized from a Pomeranian to a Great Pyrenees. I personally have lived with, raised and trained German Shepherds, American Eskimos and Golden Retrievers. Family, friends and co-workers have utilized me to do anything from regular pet-sitting visiting a couple times a day for basic care and some love, to full-time house sitting. I am very well-versed in caring for seniors, as well as puppies; including managing house-training, and making sure little mouthes find the right things to chew and saving your slippers! I have no trouble caring for multiple animals of multiple species; I personally have dogs, cats and birds, and I've also worked with horses since I was a young child. I am currently available full-time so I can be very flexible for meet and greets with new clients, and standard bookings for overnight pet care services. Drop ins or walks during the week may need to be flexible in terms of scheduling, but I will typically be very accommodating for your scheduling needs so just contact me with any questions! Care will heavily depend on the usual routine for each individual pet/client. I will do my best to adhere to the most normal, expected routine for your animals to make sure they are as unbothered by your absence as possible. This is all done within your home, to help make sure pets don't feel any additional strain by needing to acclimate to a strange place while their family is gone. At minimum, I'm expecting two visits per day when an owner is out of town. Feeding, watering, potty-time walks for any dogs, any other basic care like litter boxes, and some play and love for all of my charges. Care will only go up from there based on client preferences. On a limited basis, I do offer boarding in my home for one client at a time for pups that are friendly with other animals and are up to date on their shots with no behavioral issues. If you have questions on boarding vs housesitting, just let me know and I'm happy to discuss your specific needs!
About: I have had a variety of animals always in my life. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish and rodents. (All of which I've had at some point) I have also worked for a rescue charity for 7+ years which resulted in having learned basic and emergency care, as well as administration of medication. I am retired and looking to fill my time with love and cuddles. I have always enjoyed caring for the variety of animals I have and have had. I love learning all the cute special quirks and loves of every animal I interact with. I am very respectful of other people's space and items - my focus is on the animals in my charge. I can feed, walk, play and generally be a companion to any animal. I also respect the home and treat it even better than my own, ensuring that I leave the home as I found it.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all ages and helped care for them since I could remember. I have great patience for all animals and people so I am sure I can help in any way. As of right now, I own two dogs, a german shepherd and a yorkie , so I am able to handle a wide variety of dog sizes. I am currently unemployed but I love the outdoors and walks. So I might as well bring a new pup with me as I get my steps in :). I have a big, grassy backyard for my dogs to run and play in. I make sure to keep them fed, along with some yummy snacks here and there. I also help with keeping them clean and exercised.
