About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover who has owned both large and small dogs throughout my life. I’m offering pet sitting services for anyone who needs help for a few days each week, weekends, or even longer stays while you’re away. I have three children (ages 7, 5, and 3) who are gentle and accustomed to being around animals, as well as a small kitten in our home. Your pets will receive plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re gone. Whether you’re planning a vacation, business trip, or just need temporary help, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members will be well cared for in a safe and welcoming environment. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more. I look forward to helping you and your pets! 🐾 My hand is fenced with the next size backyard plus behind the house. We do have a pathway where we could take long walks in the morning and on the hot days they have the backyard. We typically stay home. We don’t venture out as much so I’m here to help you enjoy your vacation while you take your time away where your fur babies will be taken care of.
“Josie took great care of Misha! Our meet up before this booking confirmed that her dog Nala and my dog Misha would be able to get along. I appreciated the updates and the new discovery that Misha is ok around cats. Also, it looked like Misha played sooo much and got a lot of attention, that a soon as we got home after pick up, Misha quickly fell asleep lol. Thank you for everything!”
“We love her! She's adorable! I love her personality. She was so kind to take Thunder last minute when the sitter we had had canceled at the very last minute due to an emergency. I'm so grateful she turned out awesome. Very understanding of my concerns on caring for Thunder that I need to add to my profile about strays. She gave me lots of pics, which assured me that Thunder was comfortable. She included one with her cat laying with Thunder!! That was amazing!! I loved it. Her and her kids love Thunder, which I really appreciate because I want whoever watches him to love him as much as I do. She was very understanding when I had to pick up Thunder later than what I had scheduled due to me being late for my appointment. She's just awesome. I'll definitely be contacting her again.”
About: Babysat for both animals and children, also work as a Pediatric Medical assistant, love to take them out with me especially on my nightly walks and get all our energy out of our system. I am pretty open since I only work three days a week randomly. Just let me know what days you need and we can coordinate. I live in a 2 story house soon moving to a 1 floor house with a huge grass backyard and a huge fence. I’m very big on building a trust system with the animals I babysit especially once with a bad background. They free roam in my bedroom living room and backyard. I go on 30mins- 1 hour walks normally. I love playing games as well with them as well and take them to meet my friends pets too.

“Ruthie did a wonderful job taking care of our needy pup while we explored Yosemite. Our dog has separation anxiety, so Ruthie gave her extra love and attention. She gave our dog plenty of exercise and play time. She communicated frequently and was flexible with our schedule. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Stacey & her family cared for Ari while we spent 2 days in Yosemite. They sent lots of photos and updates, letting us know how Ari was doing throughout her stay. We’d definitely have Ari stay here again!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was just 2 years old, making pet care second nature to me. Over a lifetime of ownership, I have raised everything from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, a hamster, and a chameleon. My hands-on experience also includes years of fostering cats and dogs, as well as taking in strays and nursing them back to health. This diverse background has made me highly adaptable to different behaviors, medical needs, and pet personalities. I am an incredibly compassionate, loving person dedicated to a future of helping animals, and I will treat your pets with the exact same deep care and devotion I give my own. Pet care is my absolute top priority, and because I am completely free all the time, I can fully devote 100% of my attention to your pet. My highly flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day and week for consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your pet will never feel lonely, as I am always around to keep them company, maintain their exact daily routines, and ensure they get the dedicated love they deserve I build deep trust with animals by treating them like family and giving them a spoiled, loving environment where they can thrive. My home features a fully fenced yard where pets can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Pets naturally bond with me; my childhood dog used to sleep right above my head and sit at my feet whenever I was at my desk. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I maintain this exact level of safety, deep devotion, and respect. I strictly follow your specific safety rules, keep environments clean, and will send you frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.
About: Thank you for reviewing my profile! I am unable to edit, but my preferred name is Astro. I am a 23-year-old ag-business student with a minor in animal science. I am unavailable from 8a-12pm on weekdays, but I am available at any other time to take care of any pets you may have. I have a passion for animals because I enjoy giving them love, just as they give love back to us. This June 2026, I have cared for my former professor's 2 dogs, cat, and goat for two different weeks. I will be housesitting for her this June 21-28, so I will only have availability for walks and drop-ins at this time. I make sure to give all animals extra love while their owners are away. If no walks are bought for housesits, I will give one walk per stay, and if my schedule allows, I'll provide additional. I am comfortable with farm animals as well, if you need care and feeding for them. My pet background: I have 2 years of experience as a kennel attendant: sanitizing kennels, taking dogs for walks, feeding, and medicating both dogs and cats. I also have a few months of experience as a vet assistant: restraining animals for vaccines and nail trims. I currently have a 5-year-old chihuahua and a 4-year-old domestic shorthair cat. My chihuahua has seizures and requires a specific feeding and medication schedule, so I can easily adapt to your pets if they have additional needs. Since I was 12, I would adopt rabbits from the flea market and take care of them until I was in high school. I adopted my chihuahua as a one-month-old in 2020, and have been taking care of her ever since. My passion for animals led me to earn my AA in Animal Science, and expanded my interest in caring for farm animals as well. Animals make me happy, and after my kennel attendant job ended, I decided to try Rover out to continue working in the field I enjoy! June 21-28 I am booked for housesittng, but available for drop-ins and walks. My earliest availability starts 1:30pm on Monday thru Thursdays as I work 8a-12p. Fridays I work 10a-2/6pm so I can drop in before 9a or after 2/6pm. House-Sitting information: I am unavailable to provide services in my home, but I am available for house-sitting in your home on weekends. I have taken care of my former professor's 2 dogs in her home while she has been away a week + weekends, along with her two outside pets of a cat and goat. On weekdays, I can house-sit, but I will be in and out for personal, child, or pet errands. I'd like to note that on weekends, I will need to feed and give potty breaks for my own pets at home, but will return to your pets once finished. In my client's home, I treat it with the same respect as I would in my own home. I also make sure to keep it clean and organized as the owner has left it. I don't wish to make my client's uncomfortable, so I will make sure to ask before doing anything that wasn't previously discussed. For house-sitting, I provide basic cleaning before leaving your home (sweeping and mopping the floors).
“Kimberly took special care of Del, my dog, who has trust issues coming from a hoarder situation with little contact with humans. Her taking one dog at a time is a plus for Del or most dogs who are needing to board. Her dog, Daisy, is sweet and non threatening. Kimberly gave the space Del needed when he was with her and Daisy. If I need Del boarded in Merced I will use her again.”
“Nelson was great with my pup kids, we got updates regularly and took care of Andy and Shadow as if they were his own. I would recommend him and I can’t recommend him enough.”
About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life with some that are from friends or family. I give what the pet need to feel loved, safe, fed, comfortable. I love pet sitting young to senior dogs. The pet care would fit in daily in my routine from when I wake up to when I go to sleep so like 24 hours. I make pets feel safe by doing things to make them feel safe protecting them from harm way, getting them to trust me to help them when they need it.
About: I’ve always loved animals and wanted to get involved with them in any way via Animal Shelters, Vet schools, externships at Veterinarian clinics, sitting for friends and family, and now here😊 this is a great step for me to continue to get acquainted with the furry friends in our community and further expand my experience and knowledge on each and every pet baby out there because as a fellow pet parent I would want my baby in the best hands as well❤️ I’m home all week and not only have the space and time but as well as the joy of caring for a new furry friend! At home my doggo sleeps in my room and plays in the yard most of the day, she has a crate in the garage where she has access to for naps throughout the day and gets fed once in the morning and before bed an hour after her daily evening walk. Depending on what the owner’s needs are for their pets I can easily adjust my routine or schedule to better match their furry babies👍🏽 We’re very flexible with our routines and schedules and love to switch things up!😊
“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”

“I met Jasmine a few days before she was to sit with Lola. She was very friendly and put my mind at ease. When Jasmine was with Lola she had updated me through text, photos, and video which I truly appreciated! If possible, she will be my forever sitter for Lola!”
“We made our booking on very short notice and Eve was kind enough to accept. We are very grateful for her daily Rover report on our sweet Jenna as well as it seemed she even made her a puzzle that I had briefly mentioned that I would make ahead of time but was not able to as time got away from me. Thank you, Eve!”
“Ericka watched our dog Zeus while my boyfriend and I explored Yosemite for the weekend! She was so flexible and easy to communicate with! One day she did day care at our hotel suite, then for the others she just did drop-in visits! Zeus was well taken care of and we would def choose Ericka again! Thank you for taking such good care of our Zeus & making us feel at ease while leaving him :)”
About: Hey I’m Devin! Being a Vet Tech, the president of the Pre-Vet Club at UCM, and Dog Dad, I emphasize and vouch for the importance of caring for your pets. I know the stress and challenges one can run into when providing for your companions and it can be very difficult . That being said I’m more than happy to assist in caring for all pets, helping you and them with peace of mind and to live long happy lives together. I have extensive experience with companion animals of all kinds and am confident in providing your pet with the best care possible. I’m currently attending the UC as an undergraduate and have lots of time to provide my animal care services when I don’t have classes. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and am willing to make accommodations for your needs. I make sure to be respectful of all my clients property and preferences. I could easily crate your pet if needed, let them out frequently, and overall make sure they are comfortable while you’re away.
“Nelson took great care of my kitten and kept me updated on he activity throughout the day. Nelson also provided my little man with his medication, and when I went to pick my kitten up early, Nelson was helpful and kind with getting me a refund for the days my pet did not stay with him. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Cats have always been a part of my life. I currently have two of my own (a curious 9-month-old and a calm, affectionate 5-year-old), so I’m no stranger to the different needs that come with each stage of a cat’s life. My experience dates back to elementary school, when I’d help care for the neighborhood cats and look after family friends’ cats whenever they needed a hand. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build trust with even the most timid kitties, maintain clean and comfortable litter spaces, and provide gentle care, whether it’s playtime, feeding, or administering medications. I truly understand what it takes to keep cats happy, healthy, and purring.
About: I have owned cats my entire life, and I spent my younger years rescuing cats and housing them. Raising cats is a huge responsibility, but so worth it. From these experiences I would say I have become a very good cat sitter, and I have sat for many different families and friends along the way.
“Kirsten did a great job once again, came home to a happy cat. I felt secure that she would take care of my cat while I was gone. She did everything I asked and went above and beyond by giving pets and treats to my cat as well as taking care of a small task in my home. I would recommend and will choose her again if my cat needs another check-in :)”
“Shannon is the best! She took excellent care of our two dogs. She made sure they had their exercise, socialized with them. They were 2 very happy dogs. She is very good at communicating so there are no worries while your away. Lots of pics were sent on each visit. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have 12 years of experience in animal care and a life time of loving animals. I am a licensed registered veterinary technician. I have personal experience with senior care. Pet care fits into my daily routine. It does not even feel like work. I truly enjoy caring for other people’s fur-babies. I am capable of medicating and taking pets on walks. I care for pets in their home where they are most comfortable. Depending on what the owner would like me to do. I can take their pet on walks, keep them company and feed them and give them potty breaks.
About: I’ve been a cat owner for over 8 years and currently share my home with my two cats, Suki and Remy, who keep me well-trained in the art of feline care. Between the two of them, I’ve learned that every cat has their own personality, preferences, and daily routine. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and giving cats the patience and space they deserve while helping them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers to observe from a safe distance, I’ll make sure they’re cared for according to their needs. As someone who regularly trusts others to care for my own cats when I travel, I understand how important communication is. I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is in good hands.
“We had Coralie drop in on our cats while we were out of town for two weeks and she was great with them. She sent us photos and we came home to two happy cats. Our shy cat even let Coralie pet her by the end of the booking. Would love to book her again if she's available :)”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals and have been caring for dogs and cats ever since. I understand how stressful it is to leave your pet with someone new, so I make it my priority to follow their routines and keep them comfortable. My experience includes: - Senior pets who need slower-paced care and extra attention - Puppies and younger dogs who need training reinforcement and boundaries - Shy or anxious pets who take time to warm up - Cats with specific feeding schedules, litter preferences, or medical needs - Multi-pet households where each animal has different requirements I take this work seriously because I know what your pet means to you. When you book with me, you're not getting someone who's just going through the motions. You're getting someone who will care for your dog or cat the way they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm home most of the day. That gives me time to: - Take dogs on multiple walks or play sessions throughout the day - Keep cats on their normal feeding and playtime routines - Stay present for pets who need companionship or have separation anxiety I can adjust my availability based on your needs, whether that's overnight stays, drop-in visits, or regular walking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home: - I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walk routes, medication schedules, bedtime habits - I keep doors and gates secure, especially with escape-prone cats or anxious dogs - I send updates and photos so you know how things are going - I treat your home with respect and leave it the way I found it In my home: - Clean, pet-friendly space with secure doors and windows - Separate areas for pets who need their own space (especially important for cats) - Comfortable sleeping areas, fresh water, and plenty of playtime or downtime based on what they prefer When you trust me with your pet, I take that seriously. They get the same care, consistency, and attention I'd give my own. No exceptions.
About: I’ve lived with cats most of my life. From independent prowlers to clingy cuddle bugs. Right now, I share my home with one cat and I’ve cared for many more over the years, including seniors and those with medical needs. I’m comfortable with: • Administering oral medications • Handling anxious or shy cats • Maintaining a super clean litter box area I understand cat body language, respect their space, and know when to give attention and when to just let them vibe. Whether your cat wants to nap in the sun, chase a string, or pretend I don’t exist, I’ll give them the calm, cozy, and attentive care they deserve.
“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.”
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.

About: Animal care has always been a passion of mine. Currently taking care of a pack of French Bulldogs Growing up I had 5-6 dogs I was responsible for feeding,grooming, exercising ect.

I will walk around the house to make sure there were no accidents or anything out of sorts really. I make sure doors are closed that need to be and always give the love that's needed.
About: Hi, my name is Ericka. I’ve been working with animals in one way or another for the last 14 years. I started volunteering for animal shelters & walking dogs, then I took it a step further & started walking dogs for friends while they worked. From their I started dog sitting when friends would go out of town. So now I’m trying this out, see what people I can help out & what dogs I meet. When your dog is with me they will have my full attention. They’ll leave my care exhausted from all the games we’ll play & ready to go home to you. When your fur baby is with me you won’t have to worry what they’re up to or if they’re ok. I’ve got you. I’m currently working part time from home so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your animal. No matter the service your pet will have my full attention. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup so your dog will have room to play and a playmate to keep him/her from getting lonely.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds for over 5 years. I have two dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby.

About: I have been caring for animals all my life, on both sides of my family. I primarily grew up with dogs (of all shapes, sizes, and breeds), but I have grown to love cats just as much. I have experience caring for several animals simultaneously, including both cats and dogs. I have cared for animals from newborns to seniors and have experience caring for animals with medical needs (oral medication, injections, etc.). I love animals of all kinds and would love to take care of yours! I am a full-time student at Merced College, and I'm working on my ASTs in Mathematics and Computer Science & Engineering! I do have a couple of in-person classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays (online wasn't available), so please message me if you are interested in booking but unsure if the dates/ times will work. Other than that, I am generally free the rest of the week. I was recently accepted to UC Merced, and I'm scheduled to transfer this fall (2025). To fully focus on my studies, I will no longer be offering dog-sitting services after mid-August of this year. I really appreciate your understanding, thank you! I can travel as needed to care for your pet in your home. I am more than happy to adapt to whatever needs/ wants you may have regarding the care of your pet!
About: I have 12 years of experience in animal care and a life time of loving animals. I am a licensed registered veterinary technician. I have personal experience with senior care. Pet care fits into my daily routine. It does not even feel like work. I truly enjoy caring for other people’s fur-babies. I am capable of medicating and taking pets on walks. I care for pets in their home where they are most comfortable. Depending on what the owner would like me to do. I can take their pet on walks, keep them company and feed them and give them potty breaks.
“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.”
About: I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals. I currently live with 3 amazing pets and have cared for 4 others who’ve passed over the years. I understand the full range of pet needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets who require a gentler touch. I’ve personally cared for: • Large breeds like pit bulls and huskies • Tiny seniors with medication routines • Cats of all temperaments, from shy to bold • Multiple pets at once, including managing introductions, feeding schedules, and comfort needs I bring a calm, confident energy that helps animals feel at ease. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, needs extra patience, or just wants their belly rubbed exactly 3 times and no more, I’m here for it. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, safe, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is my daily routine. I already spend each day caring for my own pets — feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, cuddling, and making sure everyone feels safe and loved. Adding your pet into that rhythm is a natural fit. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I’m able to give pets regular attention throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. I’m used to balancing multiple pets and making sure each one gets individual care, whether it’s exercise, meds, or just sitting together in a calm space. When your pet stays with me or I visit them, they become part of a routine built around comfort, care, and presence. My home is calm, pet-friendly, and fully set up to keep animals safe and comfortable. I only take in pets I know I can give proper attention to, no overcrowding, no chaos. Every animal gets their own space if needed, and introductions are done slowly and carefully. If your dog is crate-trained and you’d like them to use their crate here, I’m happy to accommodate that. I see crates as a safe, cozy space for pets who are used to them, never as punishment. If your pet isn’t crate-trained, that’s totally fine too. I’ll work with whatever helps them feel most secure. I keep all food, meds, and cleaning supplies stored securely. I never leave pets unsupervised in the yard or near open doors. I follow your instructions closely and communicate openly so you always know how your pet is doing. Most of all, I treat every pet like one of my own, with respect, patience, and care. Whether your pet is shy, playful, anxious, or just needs a quiet spot to chill, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home.
About: I’m Emma, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of pet sitting for friends, neighbors, family, and referrals—looking after everything from playful pups and snuggly cats to chickens, bunnies, and even someones 4-H ducks. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, feeding, or simply keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to feel at ease knowing your furry (or feathered!) family members are safe, happy, and loved.I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced with pets of all personalities. I’d love the chance to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I currently am a full time student I attend college from 9am-2:20pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. My commute one way to campus is roughly an hour and fifteen minutes. I regularly house sit for people on weekends but am hoping to do it more regularly. If your pet is an eloper I’ll make sure to keep all doors shut and be mindful when walking in and out to not let them out. I have plenty of experience with scooping dog poop and cleaning kitty litter. I have a client who gave me a key to keep for if they are ever out of town due to an emergency I can be able to get in to care for their pets that is how trust worthy I am. The client is also not a neighbor or friend.
About: I’ve taken care of my family and my friends pets ever since I was little, just give me your instructions and I will follow them to the letter.

From awaking in the morning to play with my own pup, engaging as I brew my morning coffee; moving in to cuddles and walks through lunchtime. Rounding out my day with more cuddles after an evening meal. Filling his bowl twice a day, once in the morning and again at night!

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.
About: I am a dog owner of 2 German shepherds and previously I had 2 black labs. I have trained them all to be off leash walkers and very well mannered in public areas. My love for animals is dramatic and I aspire to give the affection to more animals than I can contain in my own home. I am a stay at home mom so I am home all day every day. Our weekend are typically free outside of an arcade visit on some Saturdays. I am vigilant in my efforts to keep dogs safety and happiness my top priority. My dogs have given me so much in my life that I only want every dog to have the best life they can live. I am excited to show animals the love and affection that they lack when their parents go on vacation.
About: I strive to respect every individual's needs and preferences while also prioritizing their comfort and well-being. Whether they are a dog, cat, reptile, bird, or bug. During overnight stays I ensure pets feel comfortable and content, while also respecting their space and boundaries. Especially for those who prefer to be left alone. Some of my prior experiences with pet sitting involved caring for four senior dogs and a kitten. I made sure they received meticulous care. Some of my tasks included administering medications and providing engaging activities. My devotion to animals of all kinds sets me apart as a compassionate and reliable pet sitter. Being unemployed allows me to prioritize pet care, ensuring reliable and attentive service tailored to your pets needs. I am committed to giving the best possible care for your pets! In both my home and my clients home, I dedicate myself to making sure that every pet is content and comfortable. During my overnight stays, I prioritize the pets safety and well-being by following their feeding schedules, administer medication as needed, and offer constant supervision.

“Josie took great care of Misha! Our meet up before this booking confirmed that her dog Nala and my dog Misha would be able to get along. I appreciated the updates and the new discovery that Misha is ok around cats. Also, it looked like Misha played sooo much and got a lot of attention, that a soon as we got home after pick up, Misha quickly fell asleep lol. Thank you for everything!”
“Our dog, Cali, stayed with Jazzlin and her family for 6 nights. Very Friendly. Sent daily pictures with updates. Answered all of my messages quickly. Cali went on daily walks, had a backyard to play in, and relaxed indoors also. Cali enjoyed her time with Jazzlin.”
“Ruthie did a wonderful job taking care of our needy pup while we explored Yosemite. Our dog has separation anxiety, so Ruthie gave her extra love and attention. She gave our dog plenty of exercise and play time. She communicated frequently and was flexible with our schedule. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was just 2 years old, making pet care second nature to me. Over a lifetime of ownership, I have raised everything from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies, a hamster, and a chameleon. My hands-on experience also includes years of fostering cats and dogs, as well as taking in strays and nursing them back to health. This diverse background has made me highly adaptable to different behaviors, medical needs, and pet personalities. I am an incredibly compassionate, loving person dedicated to a future of helping animals, and I will treat your pets with the exact same deep care and devotion I give my own. Pet care is my absolute top priority, and because I am completely free all the time, I can fully devote 100% of my attention to your pet. My highly flexible schedule means I am available throughout the day and week for consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your pet will never feel lonely, as I am always around to keep them company, maintain their exact daily routines, and ensure they get the dedicated love they deserve I build deep trust with animals by treating them like family and giving them a spoiled, loving environment where they can thrive. My home features a fully fenced yard where pets can safely run, play, and burn off energy. Pets naturally bond with me; my childhood dog used to sleep right above my head and sit at my feet whenever I was at my desk. Whether caring for them in my home or yours, I maintain this exact level of safety, deep devotion, and respect. I strictly follow your specific safety rules, keep environments clean, and will send you frequent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind.
“Nelson was great with my pup kids, we got updates regularly and took care of Andy and Shadow as if they were his own. I would recommend him and I can’t recommend him enough.”
About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life with some that are from friends or family. I give what the pet need to feel loved, safe, fed, comfortable. I love pet sitting young to senior dogs. The pet care would fit in daily in my routine from when I wake up to when I go to sleep so like 24 hours. I make pets feel safe by doing things to make them feel safe protecting them from harm way, getting them to trust me to help them when they need it.
About: I’ve always loved animals and wanted to get involved with them in any way via Animal Shelters, Vet schools, externships at Veterinarian clinics, sitting for friends and family, and now here😊 this is a great step for me to continue to get acquainted with the furry friends in our community and further expand my experience and knowledge on each and every pet baby out there because as a fellow pet parent I would want my baby in the best hands as well❤️ I’m home all week and not only have the space and time but as well as the joy of caring for a new furry friend! At home my doggo sleeps in my room and plays in the yard most of the day, she has a crate in the garage where she has access to for naps throughout the day and gets fed once in the morning and before bed an hour after her daily evening walk. Depending on what the owner’s needs are for their pets I can easily adjust my routine or schedule to better match their furry babies👍🏽 We’re very flexible with our routines and schedules and love to switch things up!😊
“Crystal took amazing care of my two dogs, Misty and Salma, on very short notice! She was communicative, sent videos/updates, and it was obvious my girls were happy, comfortable, and well supervised. They got nightly walks and plenty of playtime, and Crystal did a great job reading their different personalities, and she also made pickup incredibly easy by dropping them off at my home. I would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her!”
“This was my first time using the app and first time having my dog board at someone elses house. Cristin was amazing with communication and sending photos and updates about my dog. This was the first best experience my dog and I had. She is the best person to book if your ever looking for someone to care for your baby. She gives all the attention in the world to them and treats them like a princess. I am so happy my dog felt safe and comfortable he normally always nervouse but cristin made him feel welcomed and loved which made him open up.”
“Estefany was a fantastic dog sitter to my pup Ella! She sent plenty of pictures and updates and was very nice and easy going. She was also super flexible as I shifted the dates & times a few times. Ella had a great time with her pups Zoey & Bella. Would highly recommend to all fellow pet owners!”

“I was planning on taking Lily (4y old labradoodle) into Yosemite on my driving trip, then decided at the last minute to board her. She’s never been boarded before so I was concerned - but connected with Angie through Rover. Angie is clearly a caring dog lover, and I felt very comfortable in leaving Lily there for three nights. All went well. Lily had the run of Angie’s house, slept on a couch, and Angie kept me updated with photos. I have no hesitation in recommending Angie.”
About: I have cared for dogs since I was a child, all types of breeds with different levels of care. Currently have two dogs in our home, an 8 year old smaller(20lb) mix breed and an 6 month old husky puppy. Its a very busy work/home schedule but we go on daily walks three times throughout the day, averaging about miles total. Backyard playtime as well but we put in the miles on the leash. My dogs are crate trained but they get yard time and make for great play buddies. We like to keep our dogs indoors unless they want to be outside.
