“We just want to thank you for your awesome service, from the meet and greet to the drop off and pick up. Your love for dogs is exactly what we where looking for. The updates and pics of our big boy Tsunami shows he was in good hands and haveing a blast. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was with a family that was loveing him as much as we do. He is a spoiled dog and by the looks of it he was also spoiled by you and your family. Which makes us very happy and grateful. We look forward to our next visit with you and so does Tsunami. He told us that you are he's new doggie nanny 😁.... Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts. 🐶🐶🐶”
“This is the second time Alexis and her family have watched our Golden. They are amazing! We can tell from the photos how happy our Leo is staying with them. It’s very comforting!”
“Derek and Leslie were awesome with my Lucy! They sent daily updates and pictures and made sure that she was comfortable with the family. They only had their own dog, which was nice that it wasn't a "dog hotel". I will be contacting them again in the near future.”
“Once again Pranavi did a great job watching and caring for our two little guys. We appreciate the daily pics and video that she sent. We will definitely keep using her to care for a boys.”

“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Sabrina made me a believer! She was extremely kind, communicative, and really made me feel like our dog was being cared for while we were away. She sent pictures daily, and it was a real added bonus to know that she has kids that also love pets. I certainly plan to use her again and highly recommend for any new or existing Rover users.”
“Our border collie had a great stay while we were camping in the Redwoods National Park and our return was delayed by a day. Amy and Justin were happy to extend our pups stay! Thanks you so much!”
“We are so happy to have found Lisette — She has great energy and is truly a great caregiver. It can be a bit nerve racking leaving our pups with someone new, but upon our first meeting, we were quickly put at ease and knew Riley and Miley would be in good hands. They warmed up to Lisette in a matter of minutes and really enjoyed their stay with her. They had a great time running around and exploring the beautiful property... the proof was in the pictures that were sent to us! This was their first visit with Lisette and definitely not their last — I’m sure Riley and Miley look forward to their next vacay with her!”
“Reginay was amazing in taking care of my 2 year old energetic dog Canelo. He immediately felt comfortable with her and in her home. She sent pictures regularly that reassured me that he was well taken care of and happy. I’ll definitely be booking Reginay going forward. Canelo loves her!”
“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”
“Sabrina was so great with our dog Rosie. Rosie suffers from seperation anxiety and is only use to staying with family. Sabrina and her husband were very good initially distracting her when we left but kept her enertained the entire weekend. I would highly recomend her with your dog. She kept my husband and me updated with pictures and vidoes. It really put our mind at ease so we could enjoy our trip.”
“Patti and her husband took great care of my puppy! I was updated with pictures and videos the whole time. I felt at ease knowing Tilly was in such safe and caring hands❤️”

“Great contact with us throughout our trip. Harry was happy while there and happy to see us too!! We would use Angela again if we find ourselves in the Sacramento area again!!”
“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.”
“Alexa bonded instantly with our pup and was committed to providing him with the best home away from home possible! She sent loads of pictures and checked in regularly, and it was clear from the photos that he could not have been happier! Thankful to have found such a happy place for Brady to land - he is looking forward to future stays with Alexa!”
“Sarawari and her son are super friendly people. Their house is big and has a giant backyard for my husky to run around and play in. We will definitely be coming back whenever we need someone to watch Rocky.”

“Phenomenal and absolutely caring. My cat looovvved Terri. Terri's care and communication made me feel completely at ease. Her passion for animals goes way beyond. Would absolutely hire again.”
About: I’ve had cats all my life, from bottle kittens to senior cats. Cats have always had a special place in my heart, and I’ve owned indoor and outside cats, as well as sat for people with both before. I’m very attentive to details and instructions when it comes to pet sitting, and I’ve always valued the importance of respecting the owners home.
“Ashlin took good care of our cat while we went on vacation. We received pictures every visit and felt confident she was in good hands. She was thorough with good questions during the meet and greet. We will be using her services in the future.”
“Megan did great with my cats. They’re usually a little shy with new people but looks like they were comfortable with her right away. If the cats are happy and content then I’m happy, will book Megan again!”
“Had to leave our cats for about a week. Just asked for a daily check-in and feeding. Also did ask for her to try to give our little girl Mei a daily pill. We figured Mei would disappear and give her no chance. But she got her her medicine every day except for the first day. Impressive. Also cleaned up some cat sick. Very happy. And cats seemed very happy.”
About: I’m a huge cat person and grew up with Mainecoones! Cats are such wonderful emotionally intelligent creatures and deserve a care taker who understands them or at the very least strives to! I promise to be that! I am very loving, kind and calm around kitties and have lots of experience training and taking feral cats even! I look forward to getting to know your kitty friends!
“Honest, caring, careful. Rilyne wanted to get everything right from the first communication to the delivered love and the last message. Respectful, mindful, communicative, timely. My cats were happy! I look forward to booking her again!”
About: I have personal experience taking care of small, medium, and large size dog breeds and understand the different needs that come along with different dogs. I am adamant about following pet routines to include walking, feeding, reinforcing house rules and play time. Pets have always been an integral part of my family life and I believe that they deserve all the love and attention that we have to give. I have been lucky to have known two special dogs of my own who have since passed, Maddy was a large ball of energy that enjoyed running, tug of war, and lots of belly rubs, and Woofy who was an old soul that enjoyed snuggles and gentle head scratches. As Woofy aged he developed diabetes and a host of other medical needs (including a wheelchair) so I am familiar with injections and medication regimes for special needs dogs. Now a golden retriever named Asa is my furry companion for hiking, swimming, and general adventure. I work close to home during the day but I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. My time outside out working hours is flexible to fit a variety of needs. I am diligent about checking instructions and making sure the environment is safe. I am happy to provide photos and any needed updates on how your pet is doing.
“Ian did a great job looking after my kitties! They have very distinct personalities and I feel like he understood each of them. I really appreciated how he took the time to play with them and gave them attention :)”
“Adara is a wonderful sitter! Her communication was stellar. Our cats are messy eaters, so I especially appreciate how she cleaned up after them every visit. I would definitely rebook and recommend her to others.”
About: I adore animals. I have two dogs of my own that I love more than life. I can provide dog sit anywhere that works best for you! I am currently working a part-time job so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy playing with pets to encourage their mental health along with physical health. I will report any concerning issues and will go on walks as scheduled
About: I’ve cared for cats of all personalities since I was young, growing up on a farm surrounded by animals. I understand that cats need patience, a calm environment, and consistent care to feel safe and comfortable. I provide a peaceful, low-stress setting where your cat can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to feeding routines, litter box cleanliness, and behavior changes, and I take the time to build trust with each cat at their own pace. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I adjust my care to fit their needs. My goal is to make sure your cat feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.

“Seriously the best place if you are looking for a dog sitter. My anxious dog hates being away from me but she has found a second home here. I drop her off knowing she will be well cared for, safe, and happy. So grateful to have finally found a family who understands her!”
“Linda was ready to take care of our pups when we arrived. She has tons of experience with many dogs and we felt at peace leaving our two there for the day while we went to see the Sequoias. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again we will certainly contact Linda!”
“Sabrina was great! She kept me notified throughout the time my puppy was in her care. My puppy was a little nervous and showed a little anxiety at first. Sabrina gave him a little guidance to help him feel more comfortable and confident to be in the area. I think it was great for Clifford to be around different animals and experience her backyard:) I will definitely book again soon 👍”
“Piper absolutely loves her Tiesdays with Alyssa. I’m so glad to have found her , she is great with her and I never worry about what she is doing cause I know she always has fun at her house.”
“Blaze is absolutely THE BEST! I needed someone last minute and she was available and took amazing care of my dog. He helped her do all the fam chores this morning, met a bunch of new animals and loved her kids. Would recommend 1000%”
“Elizabeth and her family were great! We could tell Opal had so much fun with the kids and Iggy and we were so glad she had time to socialize with the whole family. We’d definitely have them care for Opal again.”
“We were visiting Folsom for a birthday party and left our Pomeranian with Shannon for about 4 hours so we wouldn't have to worry about Belle getting fed by the kids and all. It was so nice to be able to relax while Belle hung out with Shannon and some other dogs! All went well and we got a few videos of Belle! Shannon was very good at communicating with us.”
“Irina was super easy to work with and very flexible on drop off and pick up times. She took great care of my dog Mable, and sent frequent updates. Will definitely book again!”
“On June 28th, my super pregnant wife and I did maternity photos about 30 minutes away for a few hours and we had the absolute pleasure (and Oso's) of having Abraham and his lovely family look after Oso. This was our 2nd time leaving our energetic pup with him, his family, and 2 dogs. We know Oso always has the best time because we receive updates/pics of what he's up to and he's always smiling from ear to floppy ear. Whether it's playing with his 2 furry friends, going on walks, or shopping at Whole Foods while riding in a shopping cart, my wife and I were grateful that Oso was in the best hands. They watched him for about 6.5 hours and when we picked him up, he looked like he had the best day and was ready to come home and rest up! (Which is a welcome bonus for us). If you need a babysitter for your dog, Abraham and Co. are the best people to call.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, and I started caring for them on my own at age 10. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their beloved pets—whether it’s for a daily walk, a good bath, or a weekend full of cuddles. I’ve worked with playful puppies, gentle seniors, and everything in between, always taking the time to understand each dog’s personality so they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I currently work remotlly, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2 PM, ensuring your furry friends get consistent attention and care. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with a fully fenced dog park, giving pups a safe space to run and play. If needed, I can easily crate your dog and follow any special care instructions you provide. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved—just like they would at home.
“This was my first time using ROVER.and am completely satisfied!! We arrived at our hotel and learned that while it is pet friendly you can’t leave your animal unattended. We had planned two days of motorcycle riding and having him ride in front of me was not an option. In a panic I downloaded Rover from the App Store and found Michele!! The entire family was AMAZING!! Their dog CC made Moultrie feel at home. In fact he had such a great time the first day that he bounded into the house the next morning! THANK YOU for everything!! Jessica”
“Henry and Sharon have been amazing dog sitters for my 7month old puppy Bodhi. They watch him for puppy daycare one day weekly. They are very communicative and reliable and make sure they understand your dog’s personality and care needs so they can make it a comfortable and positive stay. We had a meet and greet with their dog Rufus prior to setting up daycare and Bodhi and Rufus play very well together. They always send a Rover card documenting how the day went with photos and potty breaks. They even go above and beyond and give Bodhi mental enrichment with puzzles and healthy treats. Thank you Sharon and Henry for taking such good care of my little boy!”
About: I love cats and dogs and will make sure they get lots of attention and that their area is kept clean and tidy so you come home to a nice place! I have 4 cats and 2 dogs so very familiar with what to do. Happy to take care of yours or take your pups on a nice walk😊 I work from my phone so can essentially do anything or be anywhere as needed.

“I'm so grateful for Brian caring for my dogs! I know when I go to pick them up today, they are not going to want to come home! I've gotten tons of photos with my two doggos laying comfortably on the couch on blankets and pillows and playing in the backyard. They are definitely in their happy place! 🐶💜🐶 Brian is the best!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: With 13 years of experience caring for a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses. I also bring 9 years of experience working in a small animal veterinary hospital as a Registered Vet Tech. I am focusing on pet-sitting as my primary occupation at the moment. My daily routine begins with feeding the dogs and horses, followed by a morning walk around the property. Throughout the day, I allow them to play in the yard, giving them the opportunity for exercise and enjoyment. In the afternoon, to facilitate some quiet time, I either give a puzzle toy or a no-hide chew treat, and we conclude the day with dinner and a final walk before bedtime. I offer boarding services in my home on a fully fenced 5-acre property. The space includes a small fenced-in dog yard, as well as a fence around the front area. I have automatic dog bowls outdoors that provide filtered water and are cleaned often. Additionally, I provide multiple dog beds for comfort. At night, I prefer all dogs to sleep in cages, so I have a designated room with cages for that purpose. I also have one bed available outside, with the option to add more beds if needed. All the dogs in my care are friendly and sociable with each other, and I only accept house-trained dogs that are good with other dogs.
“Divya was such a great sitter and took amazing care of my dog! She was super accommodating with my work schedule and even with my delayed pickup. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos. Bodhi had such a great time with her dog, and it was clear he was happy and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be dropping him off with her again soon! 🐾❤️”

Whether it’s a playful puppy needing training, a senior pet requiring extra attention, or a high-energy dog needing plenty of exercise, I’m equipped to handle it all. What Sets Me Apart: What truly sets me apart is my personalized approach to every pet’s care. I specialize in puppy training, using positive reinforcement techniques to teach basic commands and help with housebreaking. I also have experience with senior pets, ensuring they stay comfortable, active, and healthy with gentle walks and medication reminders. Whether it’s a short stay or a long-term arrangement, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive love, attention, and the care they deserve. Hi! I'm, Ian a dedicated pet caregiver and licensed realtor originally from Northern California. After spending several years in Los Angeles working in real estate and caring for pets through Rover, I’ve recently returned to my roots and moved to beautiful El Dorado Hills. While in LA, I built strong relationships with clients and their pets, providing dependable, loving care through walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Now that I’m back in NorCal, I’m excited to connect with local pet parents and offer the same personalized care I was known for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available when you need me — whether it's a last-minute walk or regular check-ins while you're away. I’d love to meet you and your pets and see how I can help make your life a little easier. Let’s connect soon! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I create a pet-friendly environment with secure spaces for play and rest.

I prioritize building trust with both pets and their owners by maintaining open communication throughout the booking process, stay, and aftercare. Your pet’s well-being is my priority, and I treat them with the same love and respect I would my own.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was my childhood cat, who I got when I was 2 years old and who lived with me for 17 wonderful years before crossing the rainbow bridge. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and a passion for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. I currently have two Dobermans and a kitty of my own. I recently moved to a 2 acre property, which has been amazing for training and working with my dogs, they’re truly thriving with the space and lifestyle they deserve. To me, pets are family, and I always strive to give them the best care, attention, and love possible. I’ve also rescued and fostered kittens in need, helping them find safe and loving forever homes. Caring for animals genuinely brings me happiness, and having them in my life has always been incredibly fulfilling. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I already care for my own animals every day. At my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also have spacious fenced in kennels available if needed for safety, rest time, or individual comfort. Pets are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and cared for in a clean, calm environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines, instructions, and house rules to help pets feel comfortable and stress free in their familiar environment. I like to check in with pet parents often, sending pictures and updates to give them peace of mind while their pets are in my care.
About: Hi, I grew up around several different animals of all sizes from rodents/reptiles to livestock/dogs. I have always had at least one dog in my life at all times. The more the merrier. I love all animals big and small. I worked at a kennel where I learned about boarding and training dogs for about a year and I have pet sat for about 15 years in grand total. I currently work at a pet store in Sutter Creek. I love being around dogs and training or even just hanging out and playing. I am a outdoorsy person. I have experience with livestock animals also. Horses, cattle, chickens, Lhamas, mini animals, donkeys. I have references also if you would like them. Our home is completely fenced and sits on 3 acres. We have two friendly german shepherds. I work part time so some days I am gone at work. But our 17 year old daughter is always home. We also go to church Sunday morning so we would be gone for a couple hours but otherwise we are always home. I care for pets in my home as I would my own. I have 3 German Shepherds. 10 months to 7 years old. As for in home pet sitting I would follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies already so it would be easier on them.

About: My friends and family have relied on me to look after their dogs when they’re at work or out of town. My care consists of lots of love, running around in parks and more. I have experience in taking care of cats, dogs and elders! I’m a full time college student, as well as working for Rover part time. I will have lots of time to love and care for your pets! I am available on weekends for boarding and weekdays after 5pm. I have cared for my giant dog for the past 7 years. I love playing with him in the backyard, taking him out for runs and to the parks, as well as grooming his coat.
“Chelsea is great! She responds quickly, shows up on time, is flexible, and has worked with me to address my dog’s needs. My dog takes a while to warm up to people, but she felt comfortable with Chelsea almost immediately and I did as well. If you are in the Jackson area I highly recommend Chelsea as a dog walker.”
“Cole was great, pups loved him, and luckily he was very understanding about an address mixup. I’ve found not everyone is comfortable with small dogs (I have a chihuahua and a maltipoo) and he handled everything smoothly. Thank you!”
About: I have been talking care of animals all my life! Have had cats, dogs, chickens, and rabbits! I was apart of FFA in high school taking care of farm animals too! Animals have always been my passion of mine and I love their unique personalities! I learn your pets routine! If it’s walks in the morning to a midnight snack 😉 I work from home so I always have time to play with your pets, to feed them, and to give them all the scratches 🥰 I’ll keep them safe in there environment, make sure they get into nothing that they can get into. I’ve memorized all the foods dogs and cat cannot eat! Keeping them safe, healthy, and happy in there environment is my #1 priority! 🥰
About: Pets and people go hand in hand. I take care of people and now I will care for your Pets. They will be treated with love and care for as long as they need. I am a full time worker, but I am flexible. I will fit your pets into my schedule so you don't have to worry about them. We have a back fenced in area, and our pets are treated like part of the household. I love my pets and they are most important to me. I want them happy.
About: As someone who grew up with dogs, both small and large, I've learned what it takes to make sure the puppies are well cared for, between giving them the right food, making sure they go on walks, and grooming. Our pets are our best friends and so we should take the greatest care of them, and I'm willing to do that for all animals alike. I'm currently a part time worker both on weekends and weekdays and have lots of time to dedicate to taking care of pets. The only time I would not be able to offer my services is dueing weekends. In my home, I have a fenced yard to allow for our big huskies to have space to play and run, offering them toys that I know would keep them entertained. I also make sure to clean my dogs and ensure they eat healthily.
About: My experience comes from owning not just dogs (XL-XS) and cats, but many animals in my lifetime. To me, living with these animals is the best way to gain experience. I have also done many house sitting jobs for people with lots of pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing. To me, the most important thing is establishing trust with your sitter, and I am a guaranteed safe person to trust any animal with. I’m great at reading animal body language and typically do well with all pets. I work at Panera, so my hours are not crazy, and never are usually longer than 4 hours, so pet sitting works great with my schedule. My college is also online so that doesn’t effect my schedule for the most part. In a clients home, it’s important to follow all of the instructions they provide, while also making their pets feel as if the owners never left.
About: I have been owned by cats and dogs in the past. I recently transferred with my job from the East Coast to Utah, and now reside in Northern California and currently frequent the Humane Society to visit with the cats and dogs waiting for homes. Pet Sitting - I am able to walk them/feed in the mornings and after 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Thursday - Sundays more frequently. I do prefer overnight pet sitting. I am reliable, responsible and have a "knack" with most pets. I do need to know about any behavioral issues (likes to chew on things that aren't their toys for example). Do they do well with new people? I prefer not to sit pit bull terriers, but mixed breeds I don't have a problem with.

About: Enrichment. Walks. Adventure time. With me, you will always have an energetic individual who will go the distance! I go hiking 3+ days out of the week and am a natural pet-lover. This would showcase that I will always have the stamina to walk with your animals. I also keep a tight schedule and vow to always stick to the routines, recommended needs, and other care information that you provide. At the end of the day, a pet is truly a human’s best friend and deserves the best care. I hope you keep me in mind when you need an individual to look after your animal! Only the best care for them. I also have a reactive dog in-training, so I have tons of hands-on experience! Sincerely, Shileen Andico I’m currently working full-time as a teacher, with summers off and breaks during holidays! This leaves me available for all times available for walks, check-ins, etc! Working with a reactive dog, I understand that care and making a dog feel safe is always top priority! I will ensure that your dog will feel comfortable with me.
About: I've owned and taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, chickens, goats, and rabbits since I was a child. I have pet sat and taken care of dogs, cats, birds, chickens and goats. I don't mind special diets or administering medication. I'm very easy going, open and flexible. As a pet owner and animal lover I understand how important it is to have someone you trust, who is reliable, compassionate, patient, loving and attentive care for your pet. I've retired early from the health care industry; therefore, my schedule is very flexible. I have retired early from working in health care. I have a very flexible schedule. I am available every day even holidays. I am available to sit over night, multiple days, weeks, months. Whatever your needs are, I will do my best to make it work. I will be there for your pet in anyway you feel comfortable. I prefer to meet your pet prior to sitting, walking or checking in on your pet so we could get acquainted. Also, if sitting at your home it is best to meet ahead of time to go over details. I am here for you.
About: I grew up on a ranch with many different animals! I have a huge love for all animals and would love nothing more than to get to share my love for animals with your pets! I am trust worthy, communicative, and promise to strive to always ensure the best experience possible! I will love and take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have experience with training basic skills to puppies and even senior care for older dogs! Females in heat? I’ve dealt with a few, they deserve all the compassion! I hope you choose me to have the pleasure of taking care of your pets! Sliding scale for pricing offered! I’m currently at home most the day and available to maneuver my schedule around your needs! You let me know what your pets need and I will make it a top priority! My cats are indoor only kitties and have lots of vertical space along with zoomi certified runways (hallways) for them to play! My yard is fenced in entirely but rather large and dogs off leash would easily be out of site if not watched. I also have a few chickens on the property so I’d like to be cautious of them.
About: I grew up in a home filled with animals, so caring for furry family members has always come naturally to me. During the 7+ years I lived in Philadelphia, I taught at a large charter school and began house and pet sitting on the side for fellow teachers and staff. Over the years, I had the privilege of caring for so many sweet furry babies, including pets who needed extra attention, medication, and around-the-clock care. I truly grew attached to many of them and missed them dearly when my Philly chapter came to a close in 2024. Today, I proudly call Sacramento home and am excited to share that same love and care with a new community of pet friends! I’m a firm believer that animals can see and feel the energy of humans in ways we sometimes cannot. I lead with warmth, patience, attentiveness, and genuinely good energy…and animals tend to pick up on that pretty quickly. I’ve yet to meet a furry friend who didn’t eventually warm up to me. 😊 I’m especially comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra support, including administering medications, following detailed routines, and providing consistent care throughout the day or night. I work best with thoughtful pet parents who deeply care for their animals, their homes, and the energy within both. When you book with me, you can expect plenty of LOVE, communication, respect for your space, and most importantly…ACCOUNTABILITY. 💛 I work remotely and have plenty of time to share with your furry family members. I love nature and take many walks/hikes as a form of self care. I’m sure we can work just about anything out—flexibility is our middle name😉.” Interactive pup toys to keep them engaged (i.e Kongs, Hide&Seek Treats) My energy can be extremely high most times so playtime is always a thing both indoors and out!! On a chill day/evening you’ll find my toddler (if approved) and I cuddled up or sprawled out on the floor with your fur babies vibing.🕯️

About: I have cared for and cherished so many animals my whole life, from puppies to senior fur-babies, big and small. Being a former mail carrier (*insert mailman being chased by dog punchline*), I befriended animals everyday on my routes, and with this I understand, and take seriously, the respect, safety, and awareness needed in becoming acquainted with new furry friends.

Anything from a walk, a couple hours, or part of a day, I’ll take care of them! My home resides in a quiet suburb, and includes the following:. OUTDOOR: - Supervised backyard time (potty and play) - Tall fenced yard - Large grass area - Chlorinated swimming pool (parent permission mandatory-warm weather only-72°and up) INDOOR: - Baby gates for stair access (2 story home) - Flat or fluffy dog beds - Toys (tennis balls, soccer ball, football, frisbees, and unripped squeaky toys) - Medium and large indoor kennel - Food and water bowls - Potty pads - Treats (parent permission needed)

“We just want to thank you for your awesome service, from the meet and greet to the drop off and pick up. Your love for dogs is exactly what we where looking for. The updates and pics of our big boy Tsunami shows he was in good hands and haveing a blast. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing he was with a family that was loveing him as much as we do. He is a spoiled dog and by the looks of it he was also spoiled by you and your family. Which makes us very happy and grateful. We look forward to our next visit with you and so does Tsunami. He told us that you are he's new doggie nanny 😁.... Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts. 🐶🐶🐶”

“Derek and Leslie were awesome with my Lucy! They sent daily updates and pictures and made sure that she was comfortable with the family. They only had their own dog, which was nice that it wasn't a "dog hotel". I will be contacting them again in the near future.”
“Once again Pranavi did a great job watching and caring for our two little guys. We appreciate the daily pics and video that she sent. We will definitely keep using her to care for a boys.”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Sabrina made me a believer! She was extremely kind, communicative, and really made me feel like our dog was being cared for while we were away. She sent pictures daily, and it was a real added bonus to know that she has kids that also love pets. I certainly plan to use her again and highly recommend for any new or existing Rover users.”
“Our border collie had a great stay while we were camping in the Redwoods National Park and our return was delayed by a day. Amy and Justin were happy to extend our pups stay! Thanks you so much!”
“We are so happy to have found Lisette — She has great energy and is truly a great caregiver. It can be a bit nerve racking leaving our pups with someone new, but upon our first meeting, we were quickly put at ease and knew Riley and Miley would be in good hands. They warmed up to Lisette in a matter of minutes and really enjoyed their stay with her. They had a great time running around and exploring the beautiful property... the proof was in the pictures that were sent to us! This was their first visit with Lisette and definitely not their last — I’m sure Riley and Miley look forward to their next vacay with her!”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly reassuring with the daily updates. We could tell our pup had a great time and I could tell that Sharon went the extra mile to care for our pup over the holiday with nice long walks and holiday treats. It was difficult to leave our pup behind over the holidays, but I'm so glad Sharon was there for us. We would definitey ask Sharon again if we need another sitter!”
“Reginay was amazing in taking care of my 2 year old energetic dog Canelo. He immediately felt comfortable with her and in her home. She sent pictures regularly that reassured me that he was well taken care of and happy. I’ll definitely be booking Reginay going forward. Canelo loves her!”
“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!”
“Sabrina was so great with our dog Rosie. Rosie suffers from seperation anxiety and is only use to staying with family. Sabrina and her husband were very good initially distracting her when we left but kept her enertained the entire weekend. I would highly recomend her with your dog. She kept my husband and me updated with pictures and vidoes. It really put our mind at ease so we could enjoy our trip.”
“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.”
“Alexa bonded instantly with our pup and was committed to providing him with the best home away from home possible! She sent loads of pictures and checked in regularly, and it was clear from the photos that he could not have been happier! Thankful to have found such a happy place for Brady to land - he is looking forward to future stays with Alexa!”
“Sarawari and her son are super friendly people. Their house is big and has a giant backyard for my husky to run around and play in. We will definitely be coming back whenever we need someone to watch Rocky.”
“I can't say enough great things about this experience! We've never boarded our cats so I was nervous on how they would respond. With the daily updates from Elaine on how they were doing it warmed my heart that they seemed to make a new friend. Elaine is incredibly warm and fantastic with our cats. Such a gift for us to have her care for them!”
About: We had our own dog that we cared for from puppyhood, so we’re very comfortable with everyday dog care. We have a soft spot for smaller pups and love giving them lots of attention, cuddles, and love. We treat every pup staying with us like one of our own. We’re able to plan our schedules around the pups we’re caring for and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and company. With two of us caring for them, they’ll have plenty of company and love throughout their stay. We live in a new, dog-friendly apartment with dedicated areas for pups to walk and play. We make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while staying with us. We always follow their usual routine and any instructions to help them feel right at home.
