“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!”
“Great experience for us and Lucy!!!! Our dog is elderly (15) and Ruchi and her family were so welcoming and caring. Agree with all the previous reviews home is so clean and they were attentive to our dog and their dogs-who Lucy got along with just fine! We did the meet and greet and then an overnight before we leave her for extended period. It was so great to receive the text updates and pictures- Definitely put a sense of ease and peace for us as we have not left her before other than with family. Thank you!!😊”
About: I grew up with dogs and had my own in early adulthood, but circumstances have been such that I can't have one of my own right now. That doesn't stop me from loving on dogs! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including those with special diets. I have a lot of flexibility at the moment and can be sure your dog gets walked early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the heat. I love to walk and will be happy to ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise. I have a fenced yard and no pets of my own. I have a doggy doorbell at the back door that many dogs learn to use when they want to go in or out.
“I can’t thank Amber enough! She took care of our dog on less than a week’s notice due to an emergency and was incredibly accommodating and flexible with both pickup and drop-off times. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated during the drive to her home, throughout the stay, and even when we were arranging pickup. She sent lots of happy photos, and it was clear our pup was having a great time. Our dog came home happy. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d absolutely book with her again without hesitation!”
“Had a last minute trip and needed to find someone to watch my dog. None of my friend's were available, so I had to use someone on Rover. I was very nervous, as I hadn't used Rover before. My dog is very important to me and it was unsettling to leave him with a stranger. However, the stay with Kate worked out really well. She was flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. From scheduling our initial visit, to drop off, to pickup. Flexible drop off and pick up times are huge and are one of the biggest hassles when dealing with a kennel. She was nice enough to assemble and disassemble his crate for me, which was a nice surprise, given how hectic traveling can be. I look forward to future bookings with Kate.”
“Barbara and family was very kind and welcoming to my dog. She asked all the questions that made me feel like my girl was going to be well taken care of even to the extent of switching her sleeping habits to my dog’s. I highly recommend! Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”
“Walee was one of the best dog sitters we have ever had! We think our terrier Sunny had a better time than we did…Walee sent us lots of wonderful photos of our Sunny playing with her dog and her son. Sunny came home exhausted from so much fun! We will definitely use her again. It was great knowing our pup was so well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We are so grateful for her.”
“I would give more stars if I could! Patti and Joe are wonderful and so caring. We received pictures and videos every day of our sweet girl. They went for walks every day and lots of playtime with their dog Buttons.”
“Our dog Button had a great stay with Nanci! We received regular updates with photos and videos during Button's visit. Nanci was always available and responsive to any of our questions, which made us feel very comfortable throughout Button's stay. Nanci made quick friends with Button on her very first day and Button came home happy, well fed and loved from all the attention she received. We would definitely recommend Nanci and have Button stay with her 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.”
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.
“I'm glad I found Michael and Patricia. Josie felt at ease with them right away so it made me feel good about leaving her with them. They are a wonderful couple who really care about dogs. I rarely go out of town, but if I ever need a sitter for Josie in the future, they'd be the ones I'd book a stay with.”
“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!”
“Lots of photo and video updates! Sharon & Henry are so kind and the dogs really feel safe with them. The extra love and care to make sure my boys felt safe after we moved here and it was my first time going out of town, made us all feel so much better. 10/10 would recommend booking with them!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Deborah! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our pup was happy and well-cared for, and we received regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She also took our pup on walks which was great. We will look forward to use her service again. Highly recommend!”

“Jenny was great! I needed a pet sitter last minute for my 2 week trip to Europe and Jenny saved the day! She watched my 2 year old bengal cat and sent frequent updates and super cute photos. Would definitely book with her again :)”
“Carmen and her daughter made us feel so reassured our puppy was in the best hands on her first vacation. Carmen gave our high maintenance pup lots of love and us updates with photos, videos and updates. Our puppy loved them right away and was so happy during her vacation. Carmen reinforced our puppy’s training and gave her so many walkies that our puppy already misses her vacation with Carmen! Carmen treated our pup like her own, taking her on car rides and letting her sleep on her bed. We highly recommended Carmen!”
“Emmi was very communicative and patient with allowing the cats to adjust to new person/house. Treated the cats as if they were her own - took the time to play with them after they were fed and didn’t just do bare minimums. Went above and beyond. Thank you!”
“Natalie is such a great drop-in sitter. She is super trustworthy and responsible. She is great with our cat and bearded dragon and a wonderful communicator! Highly recommend her!”
“Barbara is a nice responsible person who took such good care or our cat. I really think they both liked each other a lot after just the first meeting. And Barbara was fantastic in her Communication with us. Really could not ask for more. Thank you Barbara!.”
“Cole was great, communicative and sent lots of cute photos. My cat is skittish but he was very patient and she opened up quickly. I felt super relaxed knowing she was well taken care of!”
“Deanna was very conscientious and great at communicating with us while we were out of town. We knew our cat was in good hands - even though he’s a fraidy cat and barely made an appearance!”
About: Hello! My name is Alida and I am a 19-year-old college student home for summer break. Dogs and cats have always been beloved members of my family. I have experience taking care of pets of all sizes and ages, including elderly animals with disabilities. I currently have two dogs and one cat (pictured on my profile🩷). One of my childhood dogs had diabetes, so I am comfortable administering medication if needed. I have tons of availability this summer and am eager to meet your furry family member(s)!
About: I don’t have much experience with taking care of cats. Most of my friends do own cats and so always hang out with them. I have volunteered at Fat Kitty City where there are a multitude of cats that I feed.

I love cats just as much as I love dogs, and care for their well-being more than anything! It would be my pleasure to take care of cats of any age!

“Shannon and her husband were amazing! They're very caring people. They also have a French bulldog which was a plus for our frenchie. When it came time to pick up our pup, she didn't want to leave. That's the best sign of a successful playdate. Anyway, we highly recommend Shannon and we will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Shannon!! :)”
About: I grew up with Afghan hounds, so dogs have been a part of my life forever. We adopted our first rescue, Jazzy, in 2015. We have adopted adult cats and kittens. I usually remember pet names before I remember human names when I meet somebody new. I can do in-home boarding for a cat or small dog/puppy if they can get along with our kitten. Otherwise I can come to your home and tuck your fur babies in and greet them early in the morning. Please reach out to discuss. During the day, I am available to walk your dog, feed and play with your pets, and provide all kinds of TLC. Call me! I'm currently building a business as a realtor. I grew up in Southern California, and lived in Alabama for 21 years, where I was a French professor. I moved to El Dorado Hills in 2023 to be near family. Four generations of my family, from my mom down to my four-year-old grandson, live in the Sacramento area. I love pets, and I'd love to help you with yours when you're on the road. I work with clients to provide the kind of customized care that their pet needs. I know pets have all personality types. Some like cuddles, some do not. We are there for your pets needs, whatever they may be.
“Sharon and Henry are great dog sitters! I really felt my dog was cared for and they sent frequent updates. Their dog is a sweetie that behaves well around other dogs. My dog came home both days exhausted from playing all day. I would absolutely recommend them and will reach out to them again in the future!”

About: I have always loved animals since I was little and have had various furry friends throughout my life. I have cared for dogs from miniature Poodles to German Shepherds; each animal has their own unique personality and I look forward to meeting them all. I have embraced retirement, so I have lots of time to spend with your furry family. From walking your neighborhood, exploring various trails, or just play time at the park or home, I will give your pet the love and attention I would my own pets. I currently have two cats, who are indoor only. They are played with daily, although half the time they just sleep in the sun. My current home project is to build them a catio so they can sleep there too.

About: From my family dog growing up, taking care of roommates’ dogs, and now my own sweet Pomeranian, I love spending time with dogs of all ages. My own dog has dietary restrictions and takes medication so I understand that every dog has unique needs. I would love to get to know your dog!

About: I have owned pets since I was little. I have taken care of family and friends' animals for over 10 years now. I have 1 dog - her name is Kona, and 3 cats - Doug, Nola, and Simba. I am currently fostering 2 bearded dragons, 2 leopard geckos, and 1 rat. I will be your best friend(s) - second best friend I am available early mornings and in the evenings as well as all day Saturday and Sunday. I will make your pet smile! In my home, I allocate specific times of the day for pet-related activities such as feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming. My pets thrive on routine, and setting fixed times as it helps both me and my pets build trust. When offering pet care services, whether in my home or your home, the approach and considerations can vary to ensure the pets are happy, safe, and healthy. Here's a breakdown of how to approach pet care in both settings: In mt Home Prepare a Safe Space: Ensure my home is pet-proofed, removing any hazards or toxic substances pets can chew on or swallow. Have a dedicated space where the pet can feel secure and comfortable. Establish a Routine: Try to maintain the pet's usual feeding, walking, and playtime routine to minimize stress and anxiety. Provide Adequate Exercise: Depending on the pet's energy level and breed, provide appropriate exercise through walks, play sessions, or access to a secure backyard. Socialization: If you have pets, introduce them slowly and carefully to ensure they get along with the visiting pet. Monitor their interactions. Personal Attention: Spend quality time with each pet to provide affection and mental stimulation. This can include grooming, cuddling, and interactive play. Health Care: Administer any required medications and be prepared to handle emergencies by knowing the location of the nearest vet. In your Home Respect the Space: I treat the client's home with respect, ensuring it's as clean (or cleaner) when they return. This includes properly disposing of pet waste. Stick to the Pet’s Routine: Maintain the pet's normal feeding, walking, and playtime schedule to provide a sense of stability. Ensure Security: Always double-check that doors and gates are securely locked after you enter or exit the premises to prevent the pet from escaping. Daily Updates: Keep the pet owner updated with daily texts, photos, or videos to reassure them that their pet is in good hands. Emergency Preparedness: Know the location of the nearest veterinary hospital and have the pet owner's contact information readily available in case of emergencies. Home Care Tasks: If agreed upon, perform additional tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or other simple chores to help maintain the home.
“Lisa was great! I really appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet a few days prior to our first walk so that she could determine if we would be a good fit!”

“I can’t thank Amber enough! She took care of our dog on less than a week’s notice due to an emergency and was incredibly accommodating and flexible with both pickup and drop-off times. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated during the drive to her home, throughout the stay, and even when we were arranging pickup. She sent lots of happy photos, and it was clear our pup was having a great time. Our dog came home happy. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d absolutely book with her again without hesitation!”
“Had a last minute trip and needed to find someone to watch my dog. None of my friend's were available, so I had to use someone on Rover. I was very nervous, as I hadn't used Rover before. My dog is very important to me and it was unsettling to leave him with a stranger. However, the stay with Kate worked out really well. She was flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. From scheduling our initial visit, to drop off, to pickup. Flexible drop off and pick up times are huge and are one of the biggest hassles when dealing with a kennel. She was nice enough to assemble and disassemble his crate for me, which was a nice surprise, given how hectic traveling can be. I look forward to future bookings with Kate.”
“Walee was one of the best dog sitters we have ever had! We think our terrier Sunny had a better time than we did…Walee sent us lots of wonderful photos of our Sunny playing with her dog and her son. Sunny came home exhausted from so much fun! We will definitely use her again. It was great knowing our pup was so well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We are so grateful for her.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Deborah! She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our pup was happy and well-cared for, and we received regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She also took our pup on walks which was great. We will look forward to use her service again. Highly recommend!”
“This is my second time leaving my dog Hank with Diana and she was absolutely wonderful! It’s become a second home to Hank and he was actually sad to leave 😅. Diana sends updates, pictures, and videos each day of your dog’s stay, and is quick to respond via the Rover app messaging. Will be choosing Diana and her family for future stays, as this is now his vacation home away from home :)”
“These guys are the literal best! They’ve been watching our high energy German Shepard for well over a year and she knows them as her 2nd family. They always send photo updates while we’re away and are understanding when we’ve been late. I couldn’t imagine trusting her with anyone else.”
About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home
“Jenny did such an amazing job caring for our Walter!! She shared detailed updates with the cutest pix and it's obvious she is very passionate about dogs. Will def be coming back!!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone for a weekend. We were able to meet with Jennifer before hand to see her house and yard, which helped us feel more comfortable. Our dog tends to be on the anxious side but Jennifer was patient and her two daughters were also very kind with our dog. We got daily updates and our dog seemed well taken care of when we picked her up again.”
“We cannot rave too much about Irina's care for our Cassie. Irina communicated every step of the way, took Cassie running and swimming and sent us some of the best pics ever. Irina is a keeper! Six stars.”
“We were fortunate to find Gautam and his family take of Loki. He had great fun with all the other dogs. He rarely gets play dates, we were so happy to see him play and socialize with other beautiful dogs.Thank you Gautam!”
