“Irina was great with my dog! She always checked in with us to show me how my potpot was doing. Would send videos and photos of them playing to make sure my dog is having a great time. If I were to ever get a dog sitter again it would be Irina!”
“Yulan & Gaocbuan took great care of my fur babies. I love that they sent me videos and updates. They asked lost of questions and made me feel at ease about leaving my dogs. My dogs were attached to them right away. We will definitely use them again. Thank you!”
“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“Merilu took wonderful care of our dog. She kept us updated regularly with pictures. This was my first time using Rover and Mercury helped me trust others with the care of our pooch. We have already booked her for a second visit. Thank you!”
“Carrie was "EXCELLENT"! She made us feel at ease when we dropped off Bella. She was very sweet and kind. She gave us a very good vibe and we felt confident our Bella was going to be okay with her. She sent us pics and videos of Bella while was under her care and we could see Bella being herself and that gave us peace of mind. We will definitely will be returning customers in the future. We were extremely satisfied with her service. Thank you! Eva”

“I wasn't sure my dog Max would want to come back home after spending time with Mayra and all the beings in her warm and comforting home. Her kind and gentle nature put us all at ease.”

“Achara is the BEST! I had a sitter lined up to watch my pup while I was out of town for my graduation, and the worst happened - 2 minutes before meeting up, the sitter canceled at the last minute. I was leaving for my grad the same day and scrambled to find anyone who was wiling to watch my pup. Achara saved the day! She was flexible, calm, and reassuring. She sent daily pics and updates, and she also works from home, so I didn't have to worry about my pup being cooped up in a crate all day. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Achara. I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am for Achara <3”

“We found Anu after finding out our current dog sitter moved away. She took our dog in last minute and we were able to go on our trip feeling confident our dog will be taken care of. She is flexible with drop off and pick up times and replied to our messages quickly. She updated us daily on how our dog is doing by sending us pictures and videos. She was gentle and patient with our dog, even when he was a little anxious. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up. I would highly recommend contacting Anu for your dog sitting needs.”
“Cindy cared for our dog for 7 days and 6 nights. She’s absolutely the best dog sitter ever. She took superb care of our pet and even sent us adorable pictures and videos of our dog during her stay. We definitely saw how at home and comfortable our dog was. Cindy has excellent communication and was very lenient with our pick up and drop off requests. I highly recommend her and plan on utilizing her again for future vacations.”
“Very thankful we found Lupe for a last minute trip we planned. Our dog had a great time and was so happy when I picked him up. She has some small sweets who were super friendly, and we got picture updates while we were gone. Overall great experience!”
“Anais was very aware and considerate of my dog’s needs and our preferences. She was communicative and shared pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely reach out to Anais again in the future.”

Throughout the day, I continue to interact and play with them, and finish off the day with time spent outdoors followed by dinner.

We also live next to a beautiful walking trail making it easy to give your pup plenty of exercise, fresh air and new smells to enjoy.

“Jessica and her family were absolutely amazing with Marley! 🐾 They treated him like one of their own from the moment he arrived. He even got to go on a car ride (which he loves!), enjoyed a few walks including a bonus third walk! and received so much love and snuggle time from the kids. It was clear he was in heaven the entire time. He came home happy, relaxed, and very calm tonight… which all the doodle moms and dads know is not the usual doodle energy level 😂 I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. We would absolutely book with Jessica and her sweet family again! 💛”

About: We are a mother, daughter duo! You may meet myself YingYing or Annie, my daughter. However, we provide the same adequate care! Animal sitting has been a big thing of ours since we can remember and now that we have adopted Bingo, it has pushed us to do this full-time. We have had Bingo for about 3 years with no issues and no emergency pet visits. She is healthy and lively albeit a little lazy. You can say she is at the top of our food chain in our household. We live in an area where there are trails right next to our house for walks and the park is a block away. We also have a minivan that can take the doggies to the park if they have mobility issues. We are equipped in handling pushy dogs when they are walking and can control their behaviors. Additionally, we can read some body cues from dogs. Please message or email us before booking so we are aware of your dog’s situation and are able to care for them to the full extent. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids aged 10 and 14 so I can accept bookings whenever is necessary. I intend to pet sit as a full time job with opening on the weekends as well. Bingo is quite calm and careless. She is trained to go into a bedroom on command and we have multiple helping hands to situate her and your own fur baby.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs since age 15, I bring calm, reliable, and high-attention care to every pet I work with. I’ve volunteered with the Humane Society and a local Bay Area puppy rescue, and I’m especially confident supporting puppies, senior pets, and animals who require extra medical attention. I’ve raised two dogs of my own—Player (a full-sized Collie) and Kona (a toy Maltipoo)—and have provided ongoing care for an Australian Shepherd (from 8 weeks old through adulthood), a senior German Shepherd, and a Bengal cat. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at home while keeping routines and care instructions consistent, while letting you feel reassured your pet is in good hands while you are away with as many updates as you’d like! I have open availability so I am able to drop by for walks, check-ins, or overnight stays as you need. I find that keeping the dog in their own environment is the least stressful to them. I am able to accommodate whatever you and your fur baby needs! I do have a fenced in yard with no current animals in the house, however I find it best for me to stay in the dogs normal environment vs bringing them into a new one. I am open to discussing if you prefer I keep them at my place, but heavily prefer staying at your home with them.
About: I had a beagle from age 6 to 22. From 22 to 36 I had a Maine Coon. I currently have 2 cute ginger cats and a fat grey and white cat. Everyone was a rescue! I own a small business and work from home. I can get to your home in the Elk Grove area very easily and quickly to visit with your critters. We prepare fresh meals for our cats. We haver cat backpacks and crates to transport them around. They like to visit outside and pretend they are still wild. One likes to explore. The other two are afraid of their shadows.
About: Hi! I’m Alina!, an animal lover with several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Whether it’s energetic playtime, a long walk, or just cozy companionship, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m very patient, reliable, and safety-focused—I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m comfortable handling multiple pets, and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pup needs exercise, belly rubs, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities! I currently work a part-time job, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of quality time to pet care. My work schedule is consistent, and I plan my availability around it to ensure I can give your pet the attention, care, and punctual service they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I make sure each booking fits comfortably into my day so your pet always feels prioritized, not rushed. Caring for my own pets is a big part of my daily routine and something I truly enjoy. I make sure they stay on a consistent feeding and potty schedule, get plenty of exercise, and always have fresh water. I prioritize regular playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of affection to keep them happy and healthy.

About: I've been housesitting since 2010, mainly cats and dogs. Multi-pet houses don't bother me and I'm good at keeping with your fur kids' schedules. I have and RVT license that is current and have been an RVT for over 10 years. I took a break from housesitting to work at animal hospitals, including a 24-hour critical care hospital in the ICU. Medications and medical treatments are no problem for me. I have an open schedule and am comfortable with either staying at your home for your pet's comfort, or I can visit everyday to make sure they are cared for. I adjust to their wants and needs and stick to their schedule. I'm low stress and understand that sometimes pets just need to warm up to you. As for my personal pets, there's four cats with totally different personalities that run the house (I just live there).

I usually take my dog on 3 or 4 short or medium walks There is a fenced dog play area outside. I usually take the dogs for a walk along the marina. There is space inside and they are welcome on the couch

“We are so glad we found Anton on Rover. He took great care of our senior dog and sent us many pictures making us feel comfortable knowing that he is well taken cared of. Thanks Anton. MelP.”
“Thank you once again for your great service in taking good care of our fur baby while we were out of town. Till next time. And we are so touched of your wife’s thoughtfulness creating a ref magnet of Zooco’s photo! That was nice of her. Again, thank you 😊”
“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“Thank you Tammy for watching our pet on a very short notice. It was great to see Leo had company of pet named Buster. They seemed to have some great time. Tammy shared pictures of our pet and very responsive when needed. Thanks you for everything you do for pet care.”
“Achara is the BEST! I had a sitter lined up to watch my pup while I was out of town for my graduation, and the worst happened - 2 minutes before meeting up, the sitter canceled at the last minute. I was leaving for my grad the same day and scrambled to find anyone who was wiling to watch my pup. Achara saved the day! She was flexible, calm, and reassuring. She sent daily pics and updates, and she also works from home, so I didn't have to worry about my pup being cooped up in a crate all day. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Achara. I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am for Achara <3”
“Roy was fantastic with our sweet Alfie! He sent updates and photos of our pup throughout our time away. Alfie came home super happy, so we could tell he was very comfortable in Roy’s care. We definitely will use Roy in the future when we are away!”
“Cindy cared for our dog for 7 days and 6 nights. She’s absolutely the best dog sitter ever. She took superb care of our pet and even sent us adorable pictures and videos of our dog during her stay. We definitely saw how at home and comfortable our dog was. Cindy has excellent communication and was very lenient with our pick up and drop off requests. I highly recommend her and plan on utilizing her again for future vacations.”
“Very thankful we found Lupe for a last minute trip we planned. Our dog had a great time and was so happy when I picked him up. She has some small sweets who were super friendly, and we got picture updates while we were gone. Overall great experience!”
“Anais was very aware and considerate of my dog’s needs and our preferences. She was communicative and shared pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely reach out to Anais again in the future.”
“Sabrina is an excellent sitter. She kept me informed about my 2 "babies" and when I drop them off they are happy to see her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs their dogs cared for while you are away from home.”
“We couldn't have been more happier to leave our black lab Memphis with Kat & Bob for a week. From the moment we met Kat & Bob and their 3 dogs we knew Memphis was going to be in good hands! I truly enjoyed getting pictures & updates of Memphis while we were away. When we picked up Memphis he was so tired for the rest of day, he had gotten plenty of play time & walks during his stay with Kat & Bob. Thank you Kat & Bob for taking good care of Memphis.”
“Our vacation is over & we had a wonderful time without having to worry about our American bulldog Lucy!! We knew when we left her with Peter that she was in excellent hands. She had other doggy playmates & had a wondeful time playing with them & Peter assured us when we picked her up that they enjoyed her very much & that all went well! I cannot tell you how much it meant to us to be able to leave Lucy in such good hands with people who obviously love animals and treat them so lovingly! We will definitely be using DogVacay in the future & Peter will be our first choice! Thank you again Peter for an excellent job well done!! P&M”
“My 2 dogs spent the weekend with Biswas. He was great at communicating and keeping us informed on how they were doing. He sent pictures, videos and updates. He was also flexible with drop off and pick up times which we appreciated. We would definitely use him again to care for our pups.”
“My pup received wonderful love and care from Marie & James. I received photos and videos at least twice a day. Will trust them again with my doggy when we travel.”
“Alexandra was amazing! Sending daily pics/videos of Doug while we were on vacation. She was very flexible - allowing us to add another day at the last minute. Highly recommend!”
