“Our usual sitter was unavailable & we trusted Abigail with our dog. It was our first time with her so we did a meet and greet. Abigail provided plenty of updates throughout the day without me having to ask. It gave us so much peace of mind. We will definitely be using Abigail again, she was very sweet & caring.”
“As always, our doggie's stay with Krystle was PAWSOME! :) He loves going to her house, and we always feel so grateful that we can leave him with someone so loving, devoted and responsible. We love Krystle and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a safe, loving, fun place for their dog to stay while they are away.”
“Ollie loved staying with Christienne! It’s an amazing location and my pup loved the fresh air and open space. I’m assuming that because he had me drop the windows so he could sniff as we left the house.”
“Clarissa was wonderful with our 3 little senior pomeranian/chihuahuas and allowed us to board them without doing a meet/greet because we're from LA area, and were going up to Fresno to hike in Yosemite. Many thanks!”
“This was my first time boarding my golden retriever Simba here and he had a blast! They have a big yard with plenty of space to run around and there are other dogs for him to play with. He stayed there 6 nights and I knew he was being taken care of. I will continue to board my dog here on future vacations, thank you so much.”
“Luka had an amazing time staying at Brinesha's house while we were gone! She is an amazing dog sitter who deeply cared about our fur baby and that we felt comfortable and happy while we were away. She was so kind and welcoming and her dogs played very well with ours and they had a blast. We will definitely have Brinesha take care of Luka anytime we go somewhere and highly recommend to anyone to do the same. We thank her so much for a wonderful trip because she took such good care of Luka!!”
“She was great after I spoke with her I was much more relaxed about leaving them. My dogs are 12+ and after never been left with strangers but they took to her and her home immediately. I don’t leave them often but I will consider her the next time I go out of town. Thank you so much. 😊”
“Megan was so sweet and took amazing care of my girl. She communicated well before and throughout the provided care and followed all instructions perfectly. Also provided plenty of updates and photos for me throughout the day. A strong recommendation for anyone looking”
“When you need a last minute sitter, Jennifer is there to rescue you. Very quick to respond to messages, super friendly and very professional. Would absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Scott was incredible! This was my first time ever leaving my dog anywhere besides family and I was definitely nervous at first, but Scott made me feel at ease during our initial meet up. He constantly updated me with pictures and videos throughout the time I was gone. My pup had a ton of fun and I would highly recommend Scott to anyone!”
“Kara was excellent with our Doberman puppy. You could tell how experienced and comfortable she is with all dog breeds from the time of drop off to pick up. She had excellent communication and went above and beyond as this was my first time using the Rover app. She went out of her way to guide me through the booking process, answers all of our questions in a super timely manner, and most importantly kept us in the loop daily, while she had our Pup! Definitely pleased with the experience!”
“Very reliable and fast to respond with any updates. My dog has just started going to Iris for boarding and I know he is comfortable with her. Will continue to use her in the future.”
About: Animals are my thing. I have dogs, cats, chickens, birds, and sheep, many who are rescues, and I love them all. I have been taking care of animals ever since I was a young child and thought about becoming a vet, but I became a teacher instead. I am off work for the summer and many of my weekends are free now that my children are all teens and above. I am located conveniently near the 145 and highway 41 in the Madera Ranchos. On your way to Yosemite? Going to have some family time in Fresno? I’ll take care of your pet for you. Your dog will join the pack for its stay and relax or play on the 2 acres of fenced in land. I’m a teacher so I have open availability in the summer and on most weekends. I can check in on your pets in the afternoons or evenings when I’m working. I have 2 acres of fenced in yard. I also offer the dogs time to cool off in the pool and a large house to hang out in. If you want me to drop in on your pets at your home in the afternoons and weekends, I can do that too.
“Jassleen was a very attentive and engaged sitter for our two pooches. She provided ongoing updates, photos, and videos. She even provided our dogs her homemade doggie treats. We will definitely call Jassleen next time we go out of town.”
“Taryn was amazing! She constantly sent photos of Kobi and let me know how he was doing all the time. He had such a great time he didn’t want to leave! Thank you for your wonderful care of our baby.”
“Jennifer and her family were warm and welcoming. They took excellent care of my dog, Bentley. They took him on walks and sent me pictures. He was very happy there. I will definitely be calling Jennifer again!”
“Corina was exceptional taking care of our little dog. She kept us up to date with pics and small videos, that gave us the peace of mind to know our dog was well taken care off and enjoy our trip. She was very accommodating while dropping and picking up, she also asked about any alergies, diet restrictions and any other info she might need. At first, our dog was a bit aggressive, but later on she was roaming as if she owned the house, that will tell you that she was being pampered with lots of attention. We will definitely use Corina again when needed.”
“Took me a little while to write this review! Karisma was great with my Lola . I got updates and when I picked her up she was all clean. She is an English bulldog and gets gross in her folds, but Lola’s face was very clean when I got her back. I would definitely recommend to friends and family!”

“Everything we asked Mayra to do in order to care for our cat she did. Mayra's communication and work skills are impressive. Words cannot describe how happy we were with what Mayra did with our cat. My wife was worried before we met Mayra and my wife's concerns that we would find someone caring disappeared after we met with Myra to give her the key and go over where things were. I don't think anyone could find a finer caretaker for their pets than Mayra. We highly recommend her for future visits, and we will definitely contact her in the future when we need her assistance.”
About: As a Certified VA, I’ve taken care of animals of different ages and breeds. I know how handle animals and can perform CPR in emergencies I am currently working part-time so my availability is flexible.

“Sierra did an amazing job of watching our fur babies while we were away. She eased our anxieties and sent us updates when she would check in. Sierra was patient with our pups and we couldn’t have asked for things to go any smoother. We will definitely be rebooking with Sierra anytime we need a pet sitter.”
About: I can care for any animal you give me, from pets to farm animals and the more exotic, there is nothing I don't know. I am a student in the teaching zoo in Moorpark college, where I learn hands-on care experience on exotic animals and training them I have worked with ranchers before on farm animal work like a daily horse, cattle, sheep, and chicken care. I have also been in a veterinary class for two years. Currently I am a student in the teaching zoo in Moorpark college where I come in everyday to care for a selection number of exotic species such as hawks, serval, tigers, alligator, and monkeys. I will watch over the pets and play with them to make sure that they are entertained. And i will also make sure on special request that the owner leaves like medication, potty breaks, etc.
“Kimberly did a great job watching my dog, James! She was very attentive to his needs and kept me updated throughout the drop-in visits. She was really nice to do meet and greet with him at a nearby park and interacted very well with him. I returned to a happy, healthy pup and will definitely use her services again 😊”
“Second time working with Alexis and we are very grateful for her. She went above and beyond for us when she came into the home for a check in and noticed our dog was shaking and scared because of a beeping noise in the house. She went out of her way to help fix the problem to calm our dog. Very appreciate!”
“Audra took great care of my senior cat while I was away and even brought him some string to play with! She was timely and sent pictures of her visit. Would definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve had a deep connection with animals for as long as I can remember. I currently share my space with my 3 companions, being my dog and two cats. Over the years, I’ve been entrusted by friends and family members alike to care for their beloved fur babies. My love for this work stems from my genuine affection for these animals, treating them with the same level of care and consideration as I would a person (perhaps even to an added degree). My current experience in pet care primarily consists of senior animals, each with unique health requirements. Though I’ve worked with many animals, I firmly believe that each pet has its own unique set of needs and distinct personality. I am committed to building a relationship with your pet so that I can learn who they are and what they love! I am currently available throughout all days of the week. Whenever your pets need someone to spend quality time with, I will more than happily be there to provide that for them. I am available 24/7 to your pets. I can adapt my routine to whatever their needs may be. Feel free to reach out at any time.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 4 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed and play with their pets while keeping things tidy. I’m currently in college full time. I’m available Monday through Thursday after 2 pm and Friday all day. My availability on the weekends may vary. I like to check on my pets multiple times a day to make sure they have enough food and whatever they need. I think it’s very important for your animals to get the love and attention they need.
“Maryjane dropped in on my cat while I was on a trip and did a fantastic job taking care of him. His water was still full when I got back and everything was at it should be. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was about 10 years old, when my very first “job” was pet sitting for neighbors and family friends. I know more than anyone that animals are peoples family members, not just an animal living in the house. I grew up with wiener dogs and have always bonded over spending time playing fetch with them, to waking up and giving kisses to chillin on the couch watching Sunday football. It takes TRUST when it comes to pets. What truly sets me apart is my empathy. I treat every animal as family, tuning into their needs whether that’s extra playtime for a puppy with boundless energy, or gentle patience for a senior pet who moves at a slower pace. I have plenty of experience in both. I make it a priority to provide not just reliable care, but also a nurturing, loving environment that gives pets & their parents peace of mind. I’m a morning person, so starting the day with a nice walk is one of my favorite routines & it's fun to do it with a friend. Pet care naturally fits into my lifestyle.. I enjoy staying active and being outdoors. In the evenings, I love to unwind, whether that’s a calm cuddle session or a relaxing stroll to end the day on a happy note. I’m also open and flexible on weekends, making it easy to provide consistent care that works around your schedule. I believe every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to what works best for them & your preferences. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I follow your preferences closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent and comfortable. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddle time, I adapt to what each furry family member needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe & loved no matter where they are.
About: Hi! My name is Naylea and I’ve always loved being around animals. Most of my experience comes from caring for pets belonging to family and friends, and now I’m excited to start helping more pet owners while doing something I genuinely enjoy. Spending time with animals never feels like work to me. I love being outdoors and going on long walks, exploring, and giving dogs the exercise and stimulation they need. But if your pet prefers relaxing inside, getting belly rubs, or just having a calm companion nearby, I’m just as happy doing that too. I believe every pet is different, so I always try to match their energy and routine. I also have pets of my own, which has given me lots of hands-on experience with different personalities. I have a female French Bulldog, a male Pug, and a Siamese mix cat. My pug is very friendly and loves meeting new dogs, so if your pet enjoys other dogs, he could join us for a walk or some playtime. My Frenchie is a little more selective with new friends, so she usually sticks to her own space. And my cat mostly enjoys eating and napping all day like a king. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and flexible with each pet’s needs and personality. My goal is to give your pet a fun, relaxed experience while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 Experienced with dogs and cats 🐾 Comfortable with different energy levels and personalities 🐾 Love long walks and outdoor time 🐾 Patient and attentive with shy pets 🐾 Photo and update friendly My work schedule is pretty flexible. I would be able to watch and take care of your baby anytime of the week, I would just need to have 2-3 day notice so I can clear my schedule for the day/s. I have a small fenced yard with two small dogs, one is a little feisty when it comes to meeting new dogs & the other is a little timid but very sweet. My cat is also iffy when it come to meeting dogs but she is super sweet when she trusts them. I will cage my dogs if other animals are around, just for safety reasons!
About: I've cherished animals my whole life, caring for a diverse range including dogs, cats, birds, livestock, and reptiles. With extensive experience in raising cats, I consider all our pets as beloved members of the family.
About: I have a German shepherd and two Cocker Spaniels in Russia. In US I have a Beagle and a Cat! Ive been around dogs and cats pretty much all my life and I know how much your pets need attention when you leave for vacation. Im a full time WebDeveloper with free time on the weekends to come kick it with your pets. Very flexible with timing and would love to share my love. I can take your dog for a walk, or a skate if its a big one. I also dont mind going on a stroll by the beach or your local park. Im available pretty much all the time and can come through for a check up, but would prefer to night sit.
“Nicole is very good with communication and more importantly she is very attentive to my cat who is very shy. Thank you again Nicole for taking care of Mocha and I know she loves you too:)”
About: I am a fun, loving, outgoing individual that understands the needs of your furbaby. I have taken care of cats and dogs, puppies and kittens since I was 7 years old. I have trained my dad's Saint Bernard, and my own pitbull, and shitzhu so size does not matter. I am great with both cats and dogs. Both my cats and dogs get along with each other and we are all a happy loving family. I have some dog training videos of myself on Instagram where Oprah Winfrey's dog trainer liked a few of my videos. My neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets. I have fun with fur babies while maintaining a professional mannerism and a good example for all to benefit from my services. Having 3 cats and 2 dogs pet care is my life, I dont have any children so pets are my children. Pet care comes first in my house, so pet care is a huge part in my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced yard with 2 large friendly dogs and 1 friendly little dog, so there is a perfect size buddy for your companion. I also have 2 cats and one small kitten. I feed my dogs only the best grain free food and treats and I have plenty of toys and games for the dogs to play. I feed the cats a different food than the kitten since the kitten needs special nourishment to grow. I take the dogs on a walk in the many acres of grape fields that reside across the street. The dogs are pack animals and they look to the alpha for protection and leading, I know how to fulfill and give dogs the enrichment they need. I understand the needs of dogs and cats very well and I am confident and trustworthy of every breed size and characteristic your fur baby may have. I have alot of energy and I love to be outdoors. My cats are strictly inside cats but I am working on making an outside cat enclosure so they can enjoy the outside in a safe manner.

“Our dog was very well cared for. He went on a couple of walks, got along well with their other dogs, and receive lots of compliments from the Adrianna. When you know, your dog is a handful. It’s really nice to hear other people say nice things about him!!!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Jennifer! They took such incredible care of my Jace, while I was away. From the moment we met, I knew Jace was in loving, capable hands. They kept me updated with daily photos and messages that made me feel completely at ease—and honestly, Jace looked like he fit it right at home. It was clear they treated him like family, giving him plenty of playtime and attention. He came home happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. If you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable, communicative, and will treat your pup like their own, look no further. We’ll 100% be booking with Jennifer again!”
“This is my first time leaving my dog 🐶 to Krystle and she was amazing! My dog is very timid and afraid and he tends to snap at strangers. But Krystle was nothing but patient with him! She was also sending me pictures and updates throughout the day and I feel relieved. I definitely recommend Krystle and go back to her :)”
About: I love dogs and owning 2 has inspired me to work with more. I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as a Dog Trainer. Animal Behavior College (ABC) is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and is an internationally recognized institution. My year long commitment to this program has provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and a professional understanding of canine behavior. My certification and skills will ensure your dog is in good hands. I am available 7 days a week because I own 2 dogs of my own and I also work from home. Availability may vary during holidays. For boarding and daycare clients must be crate trained to ensure the safety of everyone. Facilities include an outdoor run that is turfed and equipped with showers to keep clean and a misting fan system for hot days, along with an assortment of chew toys and snacks and elevated beds. All clients sleep indoors in an air conditioned room.
“We were so happy leaving Mac with Thanh-Mai. Mac was so comfortable staying with them. She sent me tons of photos and video and was so communicative but allowed me to enjoy my event. I’m from out of town but come to Fresno a lot to see family and I hope to leave Mac with Thanh-Mai anytime I’m in town.”
“Jasleen took our last minute day care booking graciously and promptly. She saved our day. She is so nice and accommodating to us and our dogs’ need. She treated our pets like family. Which is everything I could ask for when I’m unable to take care of them myself and have to leave them under someone else’s care. The photos and videos we received while we were away are much appreciated! We are thankful to Jasleen and will not hesitate to trust her with our pets whenever we are in town.”
“Clarissa was amazing! Super accommodating when we told her that we were running late at the end of the night. Her family took our dogs (who are very large) for a walk and played with them outside. Her text updates were adorable as well. We will DEFINITELY be booking with her again!”
“If I could leave 6 stars I would. Ricky was fantastic, cared for my dog as if he was her own. He was under her care for 2 weeks of day care and one weekend of boarding. She sent pictures and updates every day which was great. He had/has a broken pelvis so he needed extra care, and that’s exactly what she gave him. Really gave me a good peace of mind to know he was in good hands. Thanks again, really appreciate you. Will definitely be using Rickys service again in the future :)”
“Dallas had a great day with Heather. Lots of pictures seeing him play with the other dogs ant daycare and great communication. Will definitely be back. Thank you Heather!”
“Farin has been incredible! I was VERY worried leaving my puppy alone with someone I didn’t know but he had such a great time! She sends photo updates and my puppy didn’t want to leave! She’s super flexible with my work schedule and very attentive to my dogs needs! 10/10 would recommend!”

Throughout the day, he kept me updated with adorable photos and little notes, which made me feel so at ease. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I’m so grateful to have found someone as trustworthy and passionate as Frank. I will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was young and have owned and cared for my own pets for over 7 years. Through caring for my pets, as well as those of friends, family, and neighbors, I've gained experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. I also volunteered at an SPCA shelter, where I worked with a variety of animals and learned the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I fostered a pup from this shelter for 5 months. I'm physically active and enjoy long walks, outdoor activities, and playtime, so energetic dogs will get plenty of exercise and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while providing owners with regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I currently have open availability and can easily work around your pet's routine. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or a quieter day with plenty of attention, I'll make sure they get the care and companionship they need. I'm active and enjoy being outdoors, so dogs who love exercise and adventure are always welcome. I also have experience fostering pets! I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I follow each owner's instructions closely regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and house rules. I take a patient approach with every animal and make sure they feel comfortable and secure in my care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, with regular updates and photos throughout their stay.

About: Working through Rover has really opened me up to working with animals that I’ve never cared for before. Great experiences. 🐾 ALL PAWS WELCOME! Book today 😃 Im not currently working at the moment so I am looking forward to having an open schedule for your pets’ needs :) I’m pretty open to any special requests per pet, per owner. Thank you and I look forward to meeting your fur babies! This all varies of course but I’m always going to adapt to your pets needs. Take care of them as if they were my own and always make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
About: Always had one or more dogs around in the family for as long as I can remember. I’ve always enjoyed being around them and while I currently don’t have a dog of my own, I figured offering my time to spend with others dogs would be a great way to spend my time. I’ve also had experience working at a local pet store for a few years where daily cleaning of puppy cages and feeding was required as well as administering parvo shots to customer’s dogs and advising them on proper food choices. Typically busy between 10am-12pm during the weekday but can make exceptions if needed to take care of your pets during that time. Other than that, pretty much have time to check in or provide playtime and walks between 8am-8pm Doing a meet and greet with pets before spending extended amounts of time with them to not only get to know the animal but also address any concerns that you may have as well.

About: I’ve cherished animals my whole life and have cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, livestock, and reptiles. For over two years, we’ve been providing pet sitting and boarding services, creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. What makes our home unique is that we provide a true “home away from home” experience. Pets are not crated or kenneled unless requested by the owner or temporarily separated during feeding times. Most of our boarding guests spend their days alongside us and sleep in the same room with us at night, just as they would in a family home. Our property offers over an acre of secure space for dogs to run, explore, and play. We have a large grassy lawn, plenty of toys, and even a mini swimming pool for pups who enjoy the water. Inside, our fully tiled 3,000+ square foot home provides a clean, comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. With extensive experience training and caring for dogs, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet companionship, we strive to make their stay as stress-free, enjoyable, and personalized as possible. With my own business, I often work from home, and my husband, currently transitioning careers, attends college part-time. One of us is typically home, complemented by our part-time groundskeeper who tends to our animals and builds structures for them on weekdays. Additionally, we have a weekly gardener and housekeeper to maintain our home and garden. Our expansive backyard, nearly a full acre, is fully enclosed by a chain-link privacy fence.

About: I’ve had a deep connection with animals for as long as I can remember. I currently share my space with my 3 companions, being my dog and two cats. Over the years, I’ve been entrusted by friends and family members alike to care for their beloved fur babies. My love for this work stems from my genuine affection for these animals, treating them with the same level of care and consideration as I would a person (perhaps even to an added degree). My current experience in pet care primarily consists of senior animals, each with unique health requirements. Though I’ve worked with many animals, I firmly believe that each pet has its own unique set of needs and distinct personality. I am committed to building a relationship with your pet so that I can learn who they are and what they love! I am currently available throughout all days of the week. Whenever your pets need someone to spend quality time with, I will more than happily be there to provide that for them. I am available 24/7 to your pets. I can adapt my routine to whatever their needs may be. Feel free to reach out at any time.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From raising my own dogs—from playful puppies to gentle seniors—to dog sitting for friends and family, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life and the love that comes with it. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from leash and potty training to providing comfort and care when a pup wasn’t feeling their best. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, always focused on creating a safe and happy environment where dogs can relax and just be themselves. Animals seem to sense my energy and often gravitate toward me, and I truly believe they know when someone understands them. I’m most centered when I’m around dogs, and I love giving back the same joy and unconditional love they bring into the world. These days, I’m lucky to share my time with a 6-year-old Goldendoodle, a 10-year-old Maltese, two playful goats, and a flock of chickens—each one reminding me how rewarding it is to care for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or an overnight stay, your pet will be treated like my own. I work for myself, from home, and can generally work around your pet's schedule with the exception of Tuesdays from 11:30am-1:30 pm and Wednesdays from 11:30am - 12:30 pm. I'm able to help with potty training your pup, I have experience doing this with my own and know that consistency is key. Just let me know what method you're using!

I am currently working for rover full time, so I will be able to be with the animals at all times :) I hope you decide to give me a chance!

About: I am a fun, loving, outgoing individual that understands the needs of your furbaby. I have taken care of cats and dogs, puppies and kittens since I was 7 years old. I have trained my dad's Saint Bernard, and my own pitbull, and shitzhu so size does not matter. I am great with both cats and dogs. Both my cats and dogs get along with each other and we are all a happy loving family. I have some dog training videos of myself on Instagram where Oprah Winfrey's dog trainer liked a few of my videos. My neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets. I have fun with fur babies while maintaining a professional mannerism and a good example for all to benefit from my services. Having 3 cats and 2 dogs pet care is my life, I dont have any children so pets are my children. Pet care comes first in my house, so pet care is a huge part in my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced yard with 2 large friendly dogs and 1 friendly little dog, so there is a perfect size buddy for your companion. I also have 2 cats and one small kitten. I feed my dogs only the best grain free food and treats and I have plenty of toys and games for the dogs to play. I feed the cats a different food than the kitten since the kitten needs special nourishment to grow. I take the dogs on a walk in the many acres of grape fields that reside across the street. The dogs are pack animals and they look to the alpha for protection and leading, I know how to fulfill and give dogs the enrichment they need. I understand the needs of dogs and cats very well and I am confident and trustworthy of every breed size and characteristic your fur baby may have. I have alot of energy and I love to be outdoors. My cats are strictly inside cats but I am working on making an outside cat enclosure so they can enjoy the outside in a safe manner.

“As always, our doggie's stay with Krystle was PAWSOME! :) He loves going to her house, and we always feel so grateful that we can leave him with someone so loving, devoted and responsible. We love Krystle and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a safe, loving, fun place for their dog to stay while they are away.”
“Ollie loved staying with Christienne! It’s an amazing location and my pup loved the fresh air and open space. I’m assuming that because he had me drop the windows so he could sniff as we left the house.”
“This was my first time boarding my golden retriever Simba here and he had a blast! They have a big yard with plenty of space to run around and there are other dogs for him to play with. He stayed there 6 nights and I knew he was being taken care of. I will continue to board my dog here on future vacations, thank you so much.”
“Luka had an amazing time staying at Brinesha's house while we were gone! She is an amazing dog sitter who deeply cared about our fur baby and that we felt comfortable and happy while we were away. She was so kind and welcoming and her dogs played very well with ours and they had a blast. We will definitely have Brinesha take care of Luka anytime we go somewhere and highly recommend to anyone to do the same. We thank her so much for a wonderful trip because she took such good care of Luka!!”
“She was great after I spoke with her I was much more relaxed about leaving them. My dogs are 12+ and after never been left with strangers but they took to her and her home immediately. I don’t leave them often but I will consider her the next time I go out of town. Thank you so much. 😊”
“Megan was so sweet and took amazing care of my girl. She communicated well before and throughout the provided care and followed all instructions perfectly. Also provided plenty of updates and photos for me throughout the day. A strong recommendation for anyone looking”
“When you need a last minute sitter, Jennifer is there to rescue you. Very quick to respond to messages, super friendly and very professional. Would absolutely be booking with her again.”
“Scott was incredible! This was my first time ever leaving my dog anywhere besides family and I was definitely nervous at first, but Scott made me feel at ease during our initial meet up. He constantly updated me with pictures and videos throughout the time I was gone. My pup had a ton of fun and I would highly recommend Scott to anyone!”
“Kara was excellent with our Doberman puppy. You could tell how experienced and comfortable she is with all dog breeds from the time of drop off to pick up. She had excellent communication and went above and beyond as this was my first time using the Rover app. She went out of her way to guide me through the booking process, answers all of our questions in a super timely manner, and most importantly kept us in the loop daily, while she had our Pup! Definitely pleased with the experience!”
About: Animals are my thing. I have dogs, cats, chickens, birds, and sheep, many who are rescues, and I love them all. I have been taking care of animals ever since I was a young child and thought about becoming a vet, but I became a teacher instead. I am off work for the summer and many of my weekends are free now that my children are all teens and above. I am located conveniently near the 145 and highway 41 in the Madera Ranchos. On your way to Yosemite? Going to have some family time in Fresno? I’ll take care of your pet for you. Your dog will join the pack for its stay and relax or play on the 2 acres of fenced in land. I’m a teacher so I have open availability in the summer and on most weekends. I can check in on your pets in the afternoons or evenings when I’m working. I have 2 acres of fenced in yard. I also offer the dogs time to cool off in the pool and a large house to hang out in. If you want me to drop in on your pets at your home in the afternoons and weekends, I can do that too.
“Jassleen was a very attentive and engaged sitter for our two pooches. She provided ongoing updates, photos, and videos. She even provided our dogs her homemade doggie treats. We will definitely call Jassleen next time we go out of town.”
“Taryn was amazing! She constantly sent photos of Kobi and let me know how he was doing all the time. He had such a great time he didn’t want to leave! Thank you for your wonderful care of our baby.”
“Took me a little while to write this review! Karisma was great with my Lola . I got updates and when I picked her up she was all clean. She is an English bulldog and gets gross in her folds, but Lola’s face was very clean when I got her back. I would definitely recommend to friends and family!”
“Thanh-Mai was incredibly caring and constantly in communication letting me know how my fur baby was doing. Not only did I get text updates unprompted, she would also send photos and videos. She and her partner took such good care of him that when I picked him up he was sad to see them leave. I couldn’t be happier with the level of care.”
“Casey and her family were fantastic dog sitters. They took excellent care of our senior dog. Very accommodating on short notice. We will definitely be using her again and recommending her to others! Our dog Beau can’t wait to go back! Thank you Casey!!!”
About: I have been caring for animals since the age of 10, developing a deep understanding of pet behavior, needs, and well-being over the years. In addition to my extensive hands-on experience, my primary profession in international pet transportation has equipped me with a unique skill set that sets me apart from other sitters. Through my work, I have built strong relationships with veterinarians and established access to reliable resources for emergency situations, ensuring pets are always in safe and capable hands. I am highly experienced in handling dogs with anxiety and specialize in helping them become calmer and more comfortable through structured care and basic training techniques. I am also confident in caring for puppies and senior pets, understanding the extra attention, patience, and specific routines they require. My background allows me to provide not just supervision, but a safe, structured, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine, as my primary work in pet relocation requires me to be home and actively caring for animals throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, timely feeding, regular exercise, and attentive monitoring of each pet’s well-being. Because I am home nearly 24/7, pets in my care receive a high level of attention, structure, and companionship. My schedule is naturally built around their needs, ensuring they are comfortable, safe, and well-cared for at all times. I provide a safe, structured, and clean environment for pets in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. My property features a spacious, fully fenced yard with a secure gate, allowing pets to exercise and play safely under supervision. For added security and peace of mind, the home is equipped with surveillance cameras. I accommodate each pet based on the owner’s preferences and the pet’s needs. Crate accommodations are available for pets who are crate-trained or when owners prefer that added level of safety and routine. Cleanliness and hygiene are a top priority. All areas are sanitized daily using pet-safe cleaning products to ensure a healthy environment. I maintain a consistent routine that includes feeding, exercise, rest, and attentive monitoring to keep pets comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
