“Elisabeth is terrific and what a great experience for our dog. This was the first time we've used a pet sitter for dog boarding and would not hesitate to do it again. Highly recommended!”
“Kota gets totally spoiled with love, attention, and FUN when he stays by Michelle. I know he loves going there when he can’t stop wiggling with excitement when we arrive. He is so excited to be there! Love the pics and videos we get while we are gone. Kota is a part of our family and we love seeing a sneak peek of the fun he is having. Definitely zero guilt of “leaving Kota home” when we travel when we have him stay with Michelle.”
“Sara took great care of our 7 month old pup for an overnight stay. She was a very good communicator and even sent a photo update! Her location was ideal for pets, safe and fenced and we would definitely ask for another stay in the future. Thank you Sara!”
“Sharon and Albert were awesome! They took great care of my dog and sent pics every day. I really felt as though he was in great, safe hands while I was away. They have a nice, securely fenced yard with room and toys for the dogs to play. Would definitely book with them again!”
“My dog stayed with Shannon for a week, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Shannon was friendly, responsive, and provided daily photo and video updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Shannon was also very accommodating with the pick-up time which I really appreciated. I think my dog enjoyed his little own "vacation" too!”
“Amy & Justin gave our German Shepard an incredible experience. He was well taken care of, loved, and enjoyed his time with them and their dog River. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”
“Absolutely wonderful person and family for our pup to stay with! Amanda was great at caring for our senior pup and we appreciate knowing she was in safe hands during our trip.”
“Elaine is an amazing, experienced sitter and knew just how to help Floyd feel comfortable and settle in for a short stay. I appreciate the great communication and frequent updates. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, caring environment for their animals.”
“I wish I could leave more than 5-stars. Diane was so loving and sweet to our doggos, provided a ton of updates and pictures, and truly treated them like her own. She is a trustworthy rover sitter and we will definitely be booking again 🧡🧡🧡”
“Jenn and her family provided great care for my GSP. He returned smiling and ecstatic! Jenn is very experienced with dogs and has her space is well thought out to accommodate different dogs.”
“This is the first time we left our dog Ginger in the care of Ruchi and her family, and we are happy that we did. At the Meet & Greet, we were impressed with how clean their home was and how orderly they attended to their dog guests and their own dogs. When we dropped off Ginger to stay, she immediately made herself at home. Ruchi gave us updates and sent photos and videos several times a day for the entire stay. We appreciated this as it gave us peace of mind that Ginger was in good hands. We look forward to bringing Ginger back to Ruchi's home the next time we need a sitter.”
“Alesya was great with my little guy and truly made us both so comfortable with his first boarding experience! She kept me informed along the way and it’s very clear she truly cares about the pups she watches!”
“Our first ever time using rover and it was a success thanks to Irina! Stitch had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs and I appreciated Irina sending photos to put us at ease.”
About: Served as a volunteer and foster parent for many rescued animals in Bali during the pandemic. My experience with animals is vast. Ive grown up with many different kinds of pets. Cats. Dogs. Birds. Reptiles. Rodents. Chickens. ducks. Donkeys. Horses. Pigs. Goats. You name it. I love all animals. I was raised in the foothills in the redwood forest. I’m a very down to earth and healthy lifestyle human who just loves fur babies of all types. I’m attentive and loving and playful with animals. I really need it as much as they do. I work early in the mornings off around 9am and then have most of the day to myself. It’s nice to have an excuse to take a dog on a walk or to lounge around with some kitty cuddles. Having animals in my home makes it feel more like a home. In my own home I will be in close proximity at all times and I will be home the entire time so I can sense when potty breaks or walks are needed. I really enjoy taking walks myself so it’s a perfect fit to have dogs over. Cats are similar with the exception of walks unless you want to leash train them or already have. I love to keep an eye on them so they don’t hurt themselves and I give lots of play time.
“Absolutely would use this family again! They treated Fancy and Rowdy as if they were a part of their home. The dog came home exhausted from playing and we could tell they had the best time ever with the children. Would highly recommend this family to dog sit 🙏🏼🤩”

“I can't thank Kat enough!! I had a unique situation, my cat that has diabetes and needs a shot every 12 hours. I have my mom to watch my animals but my little diabetic cat is a pill when I'm not the one giving her her shot, and it was getting more difficult for my mom to do it by herself. Kat literally saved the day!! I felt so much better that my mom had help to make sure she gets her shots! I will be booking her again for sure! Thank you again Kat for everything.”
“Danielle went out of her way and stopped by twice to meet and greet. She shared pictures and communicated with us as the visits went. Highly recommend, we will being booking with her again.”
“Amanda was great with our super shy kitty. He even came out of hiding! A first for any sitter we’ve had. I highly recommend Amanda. She’s kind, caring and attended to every detail. Thank you so much! Tracy & Taylor”
“Teri was fantastic! She went above and beyond trying to coax our timid cat out from under the bed. Everything was well taken care of and very timely. She was on top of everything and responded to communications very promptly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
About: I have been in the pet food industry for three years, I used to leash train puppies, and I have been dog sitting/cat watching for three years as well. I have full availability on the weekends and have some flexibility during the week, specifically weeknights Monday through Thursday. I love doing check ins, walks, and housesitting. I respect peoples things, and appreciate when there are written instructions. I don’t do boarding because I have a Cat that does not do well in stressful environments. However, I am fine doing multiple check-in as long as it works for you and your pet.
About: Animal lover available for walks, house sits, and overall care for all the good boys! No breed restrictions I love all types of dogs. Happy to help out! I’ll be walking, feeding, playing with and making your animal feel reassured. Available to take pups on hikes as well if they are well behaved! I currently only am a part time cat mom with my partner. In the past I’ve had experience with pitbulls, German Shepard’s and labradors. I offer over night stay as well. I love animals I have some volunteer pet experience at shelters. Making your pet feel safe and happy is my biggest priority! If the animal is small I can provide boarding and walks at my apartment as well. Feel free to ask any questions! I have full availability to take care of your furry friends. I’m available weekdays and weekends any day of the week. Have a great day! I value your pets safety above all things and I make sure to cater to any needs they might have. I’m very diligent and attentive.
“Joshua was great! Everything was well taken care of according to plan. He is super polite, nice, and trustworthy. I will definitely be asking him back to care for my little buddies.”
“Kevin is delightful! He stayed at our house to keep our kitty company for nearly a week. It was such a relief to have him there, knowing that the kitty was getting all the attention she needed. We enjoyed the photos, videos, and updates Kevin sent us while we were away. When we got home the kitty was relaxed and content. After Kevin left, kitty wandered around the house looking for him. Clearly she felt as sage with him as we did!”
About: I used to only like dogs until one day I helped my neighbor rescue 14 kittens. I ended up having to foster 4 cats and ended up keeping 2 and got another one so now I have three. I understand how sensitive cats can be compared to dogs and how great they can be. Ill put my utmost effort into your caring for your feline friend.
About: With 9 years of experience raising an elderly cat until her final peaceful days at age 17, I am eager to apply what I have learned and appreciate about cat companionship to loving cat parents in need of a helping hand. I am open to cat care of all ages, but do feel a special connection towards senior cats. Whether they prefer their own sunny, cozy spot or prefer to loudly profess their needs and desires to me, I am all in for meeting your cat's needs wherever they are. ❈ Boarding, House Sitting, or single day needs I’m available for the full range of cat-sitting services but particularly enjoy boarding. I primarily work remotely from my quiet, spacious 4-bedroom apartment, and go in-office once or twice a week for about 8 hours a day. I have a large enclosed garden and walking area if your cat enjoys outside time. My intention is to host a comfortable, attuned environment for your pet(s) alone (no pets of my own nor multiple-family sitting) lead by respect and deep listening to your cat's needs. ❈ A Helping Hand When my cat was diagnosed with dementia, I felt lost and confused. I was scared to hire a cat-sitter because of her urgent and particular needs. Years later, I have gathered an abundance of care practices surrounding cat dementia / cognitive decline, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and old age in general. The process of listening and learning alongside my cat was enlightening, and I realized I found my calling. Caring for and helping others care for cats is my favorite thing in the world. Whether your cat needs a day of play or a stable, long-term presence, I am committed to the well-being and joy of our cat companions. ❈ Specializations: • Reading cat body language • Cat training and conditioning • Harness and leashed walk training • Administering oral medications • Managing cat cognitive decline, hyperthyroidism, and kidney disease • Crisis management (cleaning vomit, managing panic, etc. First aid training in progress) • Safe and professional vet visits where needed [Rates are flexible, particularly if we make arrangements outside of this platform]
About: My love for animals is the passion of my whole life. However, my lifestyle as an IT developer involves constant travel, and I don't keep a pet so as not to put it under stress. That is why I offer a unique service — looking after your pet in his native home. My work is remote, which allows me to combine two tasks: to provide your pet with care and attention in a familiar environment and at the same time work on my projects in a comfortable environment. I am not just a pet sitter, but a responsible animal lover who values their comfort and safety.
“Elizabeth did a great job watching our cats. She is very conscientious, reliable, and communicated with us daily while we were gone. I would welcome her back anytime. And the cats would be happy to see her again too!”
About: Your pups new bestie! I have had animals most of my life growing up since childhood and was raised with how to properly care for them. I also have a dog that I love so much! I thoroughly enjoy walks, runs, hikes, and playing with him. I am a big dog person! I currently work part time and am home most of the time. I’m usually home a lot as most of my work can be done from home. The flexibility is very nice and works perfectly with having dogs in our home! We currently have our own dog and so caring for yours will fit naturally into the flow we already have going! I have a fenced yard, where my pup and yours can play as much as they want! We have trails and parks near by for walks and runs, if you’d like for your pup to have exercise in those ways as well.

“Michelle and Dave are amazing! I knew I had found the perfect sitters within minutes. Truly dog lovers. My three year old Pom Chi has never had day care, she loves them! I highly recommend them!”
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have had many pets; dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, sheep and more. I thoroughly enjoy being with animals, loving and caring for them. Some of my first jobs were at animal clinics, where I learned a lot about caring for animals. I was in FFA as a youth, where I raised and showed sheep, and where I also learned a lot. In my younger years I had many horses. I learned how to care for them, feeding, exercising, and cleaning up after them, etc! I learned responsibility, in addition to a deep love of animals. All of my experiences with my own animals, have made me a knowledgeable, responsible and compassionate animal care provider. I am currently semi-retired from working in the hospitality industry. I have plenty of time and I would thoroughly enjoy taking care of your beloved pets. I have an adorable mini schnauzer, Dudley, and a domestic short hair cat, Pete. I love them both so much and get so much enjoyment out of having and caring for them. We love cuddling, talking, and playing. I make sure they have the food, treats, exercise and attention they desire, and are well taken care of and will treat yours with the same love and respect that I show to my own pets.
“Michelle was great with my dog Oakley! I was so thankful she was able to take him on short notice and accommodate whatever we needed... Her house is on a large property that's fully enclosed and in a beautiful gated community in the hills. Whether you have a big dog that loves to run around and interact with other friendly animals or a small dog that prefers to spend time inside close to people, Michelle's house is an awesome place for pets! My dog has major separation anxiety, but instead of stressing out like he normally does when he knows I'm leaving him, Oakley immediately settled in and started exploring the property with one of her dogs right after we got there! I could tell from Michelle's updates and photos that Oakley was really enjoying his time there and felt comfortable he would be well taken care of if he needed to stay even longer in the future. The location of her house turned out to be really convenient and close to where I was going, but even if I'm further away the next time I'm in town and need a sitter, I know that Michelle will be our first choice for sure!”
“We had to find a sitter for one day for Issa, our German Shepard. We were able to drop her off early and pick her up the same day. Elisabeth made the arrangements very accommodating. Our puppy played in the water and seemed to have had great day. We would love to have her watch Issa again.”
“Brittni was super responsive, accomodating, and friendly. I'm grateful for her openness to not only take my dog in for the day, but my friend's as well, last minute. Her space is big and can handle many dogs, and it felt good leaving my pup with her knowing they were with an animal lover and had plenty of space to play.”
“Sara was wonderful! Kind and warm-hearted. She eased my anxiety about leaving our new pup and took great care of Domingo. He loved playing with Shadow and his cuddle time with Sara. 100% recommend booking with Sara for anyone who wants their pup to have a lovely safe time!!!”
About: I have always had dogs/animals. We have 5 dogs of our own. We also foster with a local rescue. We specialize in the squish face breeds. We completely understand climate control. We love to exercise outside and go out often to romp. I am currently working remote part of the time (office days are Tues/Thurs). We typically always have someone home and the dogs are likely never alone for more than a 2-3 hour period. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play! We do not have a fenced yard, so our preference would be dogs that are not a flight risk! We can use a flexi leash for potty breaks but that would limit outside play for our guests. We live on 2.5 acres with a lot of grass to romp and play. Our dogs do not go outside unless supervised.
About: I have been a full-time puppy whelper for the past 8 years and come highly recommended with lots of references. I welcome all different breeds. I am always home. While I do have to pick up and drop off my children for their various sports and activities, it’s just a five minute drive away.I am always available. Plus, I’m attending school online from the comfort of my home. I live on 1 1/2 acres with a mini horse, two small goats that like to visit the neighbors and two potbelly pigs. Additionally I have two older French bulldogs who are house trained and very friendly, as well as two cane corsos who get along well with all animals including pony,goats, and pigs- they’re all pals! All of my animals are well-behaved , and I’ve often been told I should’ve been a vet or a dog trainer because of my love for animals. I have two separate backyards-one for the smaller dogs and one for the bigger ones. However I’m accustomed to rotating them due to my experience as a whelper. I know how to manage introducing new dogs and keeping them separate if needed.My dogs have access to indoors and outdoors, and they sleep in the house at night. I’ve set up set up my garage to be cozy and welcoming for dogs to stay in at night.

“Elaine did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my two dogs! Her communication was excellent throughout, keeping me updated with adorable pictures that showed just how much fun they were having. I could tell they were well cared for, and they came home happy and tired from all the playtime. Highly recommend Elaine for anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter! 🐶✨”
“Alexa was wonderful with our shy pup Ollie. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. Ollie takes time to warm up to new people, and Alexa was incredibly patient and she let him come around on his own terms. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little guy. Highly recommend Alexa!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years — ever since I was 12! What started as helping friends, family, and neighbors has grown into 5 years of professional pet sitting experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. I’m very active and love taking pups on long walks or hikes to keep them happy and healthy! I recently graduated from UCLA and am currently back home completing my graduate program pre-requirements. I also play for the Sierra College Women’s Basketball team, which means I’m at practice for about three hours on weekday afternoons. I’m a great fit for pups who are comfortable being alone for a few hours during that time — outside of practice, my full attention goes to caring for your dog and keeping them happy and on routine! When providing in-home care, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I prioritize safety at all times and make sure your home is secure during my stay. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m happy to reinforce any training or specific care instructions you provide.

We have a nice neighborhood to take walks through and so many things to see!
“Amanda made my husband and I feel super comfortable leaving our anxious doggie with her. She was responsive to text messages and sent regular updates (including photos). She is knowledgeable about dogs and is sensitive to the needs of rescued pets. We highly recommend her and would re-book her in the future. Thank you!!”
“Catie-Lynn and her loving family took excellent care of my older, blind pug mix, Winnie. When I arrived to pick up Winnie, the entire family was there to greet me. It was clear to me that Winnie received lots of love throughout the day. I appreciated their willingness to help me with my special needs dog. Five stars!”

About: Hi there! I’m Chelsea, and I am so excited to help care for your furry friends! Growing up, my home always had a handful of critters, from cats, to dogs, to chickens, and many others. I loved it so much! I’ve been house sitting for many years and have worked with cats, dogs, chickens, small mammals, and fish.

About: I have taken care of dogs on my own since I got my dog Mr. Buddy who is an Australian Shepard. I raised him from a puppy when I got him in Alaska when I was in the air force. I also watch my sister's dogs all the time, and I've decided to turn my love of dogs into a profession. I've learned a lot about dogs from great people like ceaser milon and the dog father, and many great people I've met along the way on my travels in the military. Your dogs will be well taken care of under my care. I have decided to do this as a full time gig. I want to be my own boss and work better with animals then I do people lol. I have delt with dogs of every age from my grandparents older German Shepard of 14 years old to my dog Mr. Buddy as a young 12 week old pup. I can assure that I will adhere to any safety practices that you want for your fur baby. I also have my 4 year old Aussie, Mr. Buddy, that does great with other dogs and socializing them. I've seen him help mentally troubled dogs many times. Off course I will not bring him if the client doesn't want him there. But once again I care assure that any dog will be safe under my care.
About: I’ve always owned dogs and cats and I’ve always been an animal lover. My mom asked me what I want to be when I grow up and I said that I want to play the piano for puppies. I can’t play an instrument for the life of me, but I applied myself and went to school to become a Veterinary Assistant. And yes; I bathe my cat before applying flea meditation. Need a weekend getaway or a date night. I’m available on the week days. I am looking for a second job and with my experience this seems like a perfect fit for me. I will follow guidelines/standards set by you! Also, your animal can tell me the when, where, and for how long we should eat, sleep, play, walk, ect.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. I grew up being surrounded by animals and they have always been a huge part of my life. I had my English Springer Spaniel, Beau, for 13 years and just recently adopted a Bearded Collie/Golden Lab mix puppy. I also have my two 6 year cats, Rupert and Carl. I am the manager of a winery but have a pretty flexible schedule-especially in the evenings. I'm off work on Mondays and Fridays and am able to leave work early, if necessary. I'm also available in the early morning before 10am. Since I have three animals of my own, and to not upset their environment, it would be best for me to go to clients' homes to feed and take care of their animals.

I’m working part time but can make availability for you. Mornings and evenings are best but can work with you on that. Just send me a message.

About: Hi! My name is Sydnee. I’m a 23 year old married animal lover with extensive, hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes. I’ve owned horses since I was young and into adulthood, so I’m very comfortable with livestock as well as typical household pets. I currently have five cats and a dog of my own, and I’ve been actively caring for animals since I was about 13 years old. What started as helping neighbors, friends, and family quickly grew into a full pet sitting business. After several years, I took a break to explore other career paths and get married but my love for animal care never left. I’m excited to be jumping back into pet care and would love the opportunity to provide reliable, compassionate, and knowledgeable care for your animals. 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including early mornings, late evenings, extended visits, and last-minute changes when needed. This flexibility allows me to spend quality, unrushed time with each pet and provide consistent, dependable care that fits seamlessly into their normal routine. A day with me is filled with attentive care, comfort, and plenty of love. Your pet’s routine comes first, meals are served on schedule, medications (if needed) are given carefully, and there’s lots of time for play, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their personality. Whether that means long walks, quiet cuddle time, interactive play, or simply relaxing nearby, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m Tarron — lifelong animal lover, rescue director, and experienced handler with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs and many other animals including cats, ducks, goats, bunnies. I’m the Executive Director of a nonprofit animal rescue and have extensive experience with: * rescue and anxious dogs * senior dogs * puppies * medication administration * decompression and slow introductions * leash handling and structured walks * dogs recovering from surgery/injury * reactive or fearful dogs I understand that every dog is different and I always prioritize safety, patience, structure, and making dogs feel comfortable and secure. Because I have animals of my own and run a rescue, I currently focus on: * drop-in visits * dog walking * medication visits * structured enrichment walks * pet transport/help with vet visits I’m especially comfortable with dogs that may need a little extra understanding or experience beyond a typical pet sitter/walker. Reliable, communicative, calm, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. I currently work as a program manger for adults with special needs, and manage a small team of individuals. Mornings and evening are best. As well as Tuesdays, and weekends. I do not provide pet care in my own home at this time, but I will gladly come to yours and spend time with your fur babies!

“Elisabeth is terrific and what a great experience for our dog. This was the first time we've used a pet sitter for dog boarding and would not hesitate to do it again. Highly recommended!”
“Kota gets totally spoiled with love, attention, and FUN when he stays by Michelle. I know he loves going there when he can’t stop wiggling with excitement when we arrive. He is so excited to be there! Love the pics and videos we get while we are gone. Kota is a part of our family and we love seeing a sneak peek of the fun he is having. Definitely zero guilt of “leaving Kota home” when we travel when we have him stay with Michelle.”
“Sara took great care of our 7 month old pup for an overnight stay. She was a very good communicator and even sent a photo update! Her location was ideal for pets, safe and fenced and we would definitely ask for another stay in the future. Thank you Sara!”
“Sharon and Albert were awesome! They took great care of my dog and sent pics every day. I really felt as though he was in great, safe hands while I was away. They have a nice, securely fenced yard with room and toys for the dogs to play. Would definitely book with them again!”

About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
“Shelly was great with Stanley, he is normally afraid but right away went to explore with Shelly. I appreciated the flexibility with drop off and pick-up since we had to rush around to get back into town. We will definitely bring Stanly back!”
