“Martha was great with Bagel during his 5 night stay. He loved playing with her dog Benji's toys and had so kuch fun. I could tell from the pictures that she shared. I would definitely book Martha again. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
“Ann is the BEST!! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my pups for more than a day; I was sooo nervous!! But Ann made me and my pups feel so comfortable right from the intro meeting!! I have an older Chiweenie who was abused and doesn't do well with people and new situations...Ann showed me pictures daily and was very responsive each time I reached out. My baby was getting pets, and sitting right beside her!! She knew her medical issue the moment i mentioned it. My other baby, a teacup Pom is very clingy, and and needs walking every day. Had pictures daily of her sitting on the doggy bed or getting attention. Now, at home, she's a little less clingy!! Ann is 5 stars!!”
“Ingrid and her fur babies really were wonderful to my Sadie. She loved the company. I received pictures and a video. I will definitely book with Ingrid again. Thank you, Jackie”
“Michelle and Craig were wonderful taking care of our two dogs. Craig was so kind and scheduled an alarm in the middle of the night so that our elderly dog Suzy wouldn’t have to use a pad to relieve herself. What great care they took of our pups! Highly recommended”
“Coryn was an amazing host! We had to leave our sweet dog while away for 7 days and it couldn’t have gone any more perfect. She was on top of communication and keeping us updated with pictures. Leia had a blast, well taken care of and enough space available for Leia to be comfortable.”
“Doh is an excellent sitter. We left our dog Bailey for the first time with a stranger but Doh was nothing but great to him, she sent us pictures and we were so happy that he got to play with other canine friends”
“Our dog, Zeus, stayed for his first time with Nelly and seemed to really enjoy it. He was happy and heathy and came home with the same fun and loving personality he's known for. Big thanks to Nelly for the cute pics during his stay too.”
“Best ever! We have a special needs dog, a rescue who had been abused and attacked by other dogs and they treated her so well she felt at home from day 1. We are so thankful for everything. We got pictures, she borrowed a jacket when it was cold and rainy and she went on long walks. Best experience ever!”
“Thank you Reginay for caring for Queenie. She had a great time and I knew she was in the best hands. Lots of walks and play time. Pics and prompt communication. Appreciate it!”
“Billie had the most amazing time with Alexis! The drop off was very warm and welcoming, I received tons of photos and videos of Billie having so much fun with the family & other pets, and pickup was quick and convenient. I could not ask for a better sitter and will absolutely rebook if/when needed.”
“Serena and Wes are absolutely outstanding! We had to find a sitter in this area for our wedding and immediately knew that they would be the best choice. They were so thorough and thoughtful at our meet and greet. We instantly knew our pup would be safe and well loved with them. Throughout Finn’s stay with them, they constantly checked in with us. It was clear from pictures and videos that he was having the absolute best time. We are so so grateful to them for loving our boy in our absence. Could not recommend them more!”
“Jataveya did a fantastic job at taking care of our dog. It was a last minute service and she eagerly accepted. We're always happy and at peace knowing that Jataveya takes great care of him. She and her family are loving and super fun with Wilbur.”
“I'm so glad to have found Julie to watch our dog. She went far beyond expectations in caring for Millie, who looked wonderful at the end of her stay. I would recommend Julie to anyone who wants their dog well treated while away from home.”
“Daniella went above and beyond taking care of Buddy! They not only provided excellent care for our dog, but also kept us updated with frequent photos and thoughtful check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing Buddy was in such loving hands. Highly recommend!”
“Colleen was fantastic! Super sweet and kept me updated with lots of photos of my happy dog with her. I highly recommend her to anyone! I will be using her services again. Thank you Colleen!!”
“Wyne took great care of our puppy Teddy, this was his first time being away from home overnight. Wyne sent pictures and videos throughout the two days. My husband and I truly appreciated the communication and put any reservations on ease. Would recommend Wyne to watch your pet! She is amazing.”

“Joining Rover and meeting Audrey has changed our life. We struggle to find someone consistent to come into our home feed our fish and bring the mail in. Audrey was amazing. She arrived when she said she would. She took the best photos ever and kept us updated and in communication along the way. She even went above and beyond; watering some plants, bringing in the mail, bringing in the packages, feeding the outside birds and communicating on fish tank water levels. I highly recommend Audrey and we will definitely be using her every time we go on vacation from here forward. She was so sweet. She even left us a goodie care package that we received when we got home.”
“This is the second time that we have used Ann in. She is amazing. Everything is always as expected, and she figures everything out. No matter how complicated it. I would highly recommend, and we will use her again.”
“Martha did an excellent job caring for our two cats. This was the longest we had been away but the photos and daily updates definitely put our minds at ease. Our cats clearly felt comfortable with Martha and she even got our shy cat Jefferson to come out of hiding!”
About: I’ve been entrusted by neighbors and friends to take care of their cats since I was in high school. I am happy to play with, snuggle, and provide a secure and comfortable environment so that your kitties are stress-free while they are away from you. I am comfortable administering oral or fluid medication if needed.
“Jessica is amazing! We were so lucky to have someone as knowledgeable, positive, friendly, and responsible look after our cat. The messages and photos she sent from the daily visits made us feel confident our kitty was in good hands. She even brought over a few new toys to help me see what kind of toys our cat might like. I would recommend Jessica very highly!”
“Bree was awesome with Lilo! She was very reliable, on time, and followed all my specific instructions.It gave me so much relief knowing my cat was in Bree’s hands. I would absolutely book her again! 🥰 Thank you Bree! 💕”
“Jasmine was an amazing dog sitter! She took the time to visit the day before to get familiar with the environment and understand my dogs’ needs. She arrived on time, kept me updated with great photos of my pups having fun, and was incredibly communicative throughout. I’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Coryn was fantastic! She went above and beyond in making sure everything was tidy for when I came back and sent the best updates while I was away. Can't wait to have her pet sit for me again in the future!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and I currently have two large (70+ lb) dogs. I grew up with small to medium dogs and before my current pups, I dog/cat sat all manner of dogs and cats from friends and family. I am very detail oriented and attentive when providing care for pets in addition to have a calming presence that pets quickly grow fond of. I have experience with crate training, leash training and giving oral and topical medication. I have created extensive care documents for my own dogs and am happy to follow as many instructions for your pets. I have immense flexibility to check in on, walk and house sit your pets throughout the weekdays currently and for weekends, I would review requests on a case by case basis. I'm happy to visit your pets and help with feeding, walking or any other specific care you need while you're away. I really enjoy playing with dogs, especially if they like fetch! I enjoy really long walks and can even run with your dogs if your dog needs more exercise. Otherwise, I'm happy to cozy up with your pet and I can even stay overnight if needed.
About: I have taken care of my own dog, a big beautiful Shepard collie, for the past six years. Throughout my life I have dog-sat for many families; some neighbors, and some friends. Recently I've been caring for my friends chiweenie when they work long hours. Having been around and watched many dogs, I welcome pups of all sizes. I am currently going to college at Sac State, and have to be on campus two days a week, beginning in August. Besides those times, I will be able to be with your dog(s) and take care of their individual needs. I adore dogs and want them to be comfortable and happy with me, so I appreciate any instruction to help with that. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs, to keep them entertained and get rid of any pent-up energy. If your dog has any problems with other dogs or people, I ask to know beforehand so I may plan accordingly. Puppies and senior dogs each have their own needs as well, and I am happy to accommodate both. I also ask to be aware of any dietary restrictions your dog may have, to be safe.
About: I have had dogs since I was a baby, big dogs and little ones, I have taken care friends and family’s dogs and cats since I was 15. I can walk dogs, feed, play with, and bathe them. I also have some experience with dog training. I am currently in school Monday-Wednesday, so my schedule is flexible for dog sitting, play time, and care taking. I am more than happy to visit with and take care of your pets before/after classes and on days I don’t have school! With the experience that I have, I am comfortable watching dogs overnight, or coming by once or twice a day to feed, play with, and walk dogs or cats.
“It’s nice to find someone that will treat your pets well. It’s important to be able to trust that everything will go smoothly while you’re away. Danielle is exactly the right person for the job, highly recommend.”
About: I absolutely LOVE animals and have been caring for them for as long as I remember. My experience with pet sitting and dog walking has taught me how to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. I understand how important it is to provide reliable care and make sure pets feel safe and happy. This passion and experience make me confident that I can bring the same dedication and care to the role of a paid canvasser, where connecting with people and showing genuine commitment is key. I’m currently a college student, but I can easily fit pet care into my daily schedule and remain flexible to accommodate different needs. I’m reliable and committed to providing the best care possible, making sure pets get the attention and love they deserve no matter how busy things get. When caring for pets in a clients home I am very big on respecting the space i’m working in, while also doing my best to provide adequate care to the pet.
“Sabrina is absolutely incredible! Leaving my cat while traveling can be stressful, but knowing they were in her hands was a huge relief. It is so clear that Sabrina truly loves animals and treats them with such care. I felt completely at ease the entire time I was away. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“She was amazing! Super reliable, communicative, and took such great care of everything while we were away. We felt completely at ease and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Greetings! I grew up in a home that could only be described as “animal-enthusiast central”—dogs, cats, the occasional parakeet, even a mouse or two. Caring for animals has quite literally been a lifelong habit, not just a job. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pets of all temperaments and breeds (honestly, I haven’t met one I didn’t love). I’ve also volunteered with Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary, which deepened my understanding of animal behavior and care. I’m comfortable with: • Administering medications • Multi-pet households • Special routines and quirks • Keeping your home in order (mail, trash bins, etc.) I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own—reliable, attentive, and always tuned in to what your pet needs to feel safe and happy. Because I currently have a few stray cats who’ve decided my yard is their forever home, I’m offering in-home care only—overnights, drop-ins, or custom schedules that fit your needs. If you’re looking for someone experienced, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being, I’d love to connect. Let’s set up a meet & greet and make sure it’s the perfect fit—for you and your pets 🐶🐱 Pretty open to all requests and try to accommodate for last minute scenarios. I retired semi early so my schedule is fairly adaptable to all. Former 5-star sitter here, making my grand return to Rover after a brief (and not-so-passionate) detour into another career.

“Thank you Tiffany for taking care of Schrodinger! Tiffany did an excellent job with my special needs cat. I will definitely book her again for cat sitting! Sent updates and pictures every day I was out of town.”
“Vahid took excellent care of our furry kids while we were away. He communicated with us regularly, took plenty of pictures, and was very respectful of our home. It was such a relief to come home knowing our boys were well taken care of. We will definitely check with him next time we have a need for someone to check in on our kids. Thank you so much!”
“Best sitter! So glad I found her, she’s great with my two cats, and I can tell. She really cares about her job, and showing love to my pets. Highly recommend.”

“We have used Susan multiple times for daycare and she is wonderful!! She is a warm and kind person and truly loves dogs. I feel very comfortable leaving Maya with her, knowing Maya will be safe and well taken care of.”
“I really appreciate that Nelly will socialize my pup with her dogs and cats, and other clients pets…all while managing them to make sure they’re safe and happy. I feel really comfortable with my pet at Nelly’s.”
“Jonte and Julie were fantastic! Their entire house is built around dogs like a Disneyland doggy daycare. Top notch professionals with a ton of space for running and playing. It looked like they had what seemed to be an agility course in the back play area. I plan on using them whenever we go out of town, or even just to let our fur baby enjoy some socialization. Thank you so much!”
“Ingrid watched our sweet Ruby last minute so my husband and I can spend the day together. Ruby returned home so happy and bummed to say bye to her new friends. We hope she’ll watch Ruby again.”
“Amazing communication, heard me when I expressed I was afraid. My boy is all I have and they sent me pictures throughout the day and stayed in constant communication. He was happy and well when I got him. I’ve already booked her for several day, overnight, and a 10 day trip I have coming up. HIGHLY recommend. 12/10.”
“Tiffany was wonderful with our fur baby and made us feel very comfortable with our first booking. She sent multiple texts and photos to put us at ease. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”
“I booked Colleen for day care for my two dogs while my new windows and sliding glass door were being installed for my home. Our meet and greet prior to booking went well! My dogs immediately liked her as well as her home. I felt assured that my dogs would enjoy their stay. Colleen provided lots of pictures and by the looks of it, my dogs had lots of fun. I'm also very happy that they got a long walk as well. Both of them slept great last night when they got home. I would absolutely recommend and book with Colleen again!”
“Jeniffer goes above and beyond when caring for our pup. From walks to play time to helping us out with extended care when a family emergency occurred, we’re very happy we’ve found her. Our pup gets excited when he gets within a mile of her house and knowing he’s in good hands makes all the difference.”
“Coryn did an amazing job with our puppy! He had so much fun with her and her kids - we think he misses them already! This was also our first time leaving our puppy behind and Coryn did an amazing job keeping us updated with pictures and video.”
About: There is nothing I love more than a day walking and playing with dogs. So becoming a pet sitter is a dream come true! I grew up with dogs (a golden retriever and a sheltie) and many cats. I currently have a very sweet GSD rescue dog named Roxy. I also have two Savannah cats who act like dogs. I have spent a lot of time as an adult pet sitting other people's adorable furry friends. I'm good at reading dog body language and will be able to help keep your pet comfortable during their stay with me. If your pup is a little anxious, don't worry. I know how to engage with an anxious dog without being overbearing, to help them take their mind off the fact that their family is gone. I'll play with them, give them a frozen Kong or other toy to play with, and I'm fully available for snuggles. My dog was leash reactive, and because of him, I am very experienced with reactive dogs and difficult walkers! So if your pup is reactive or anxious, they’ll been in good hands with me. I'm so excited to meet you and your dog! If you have a cat, no problem! I'm happy to spend time with feline friends as well. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can stop in and check on your fur baby early mornings, during the day, or evenings. I always carefully follow clients indirections for how to care for their pets and behave in their home. I’ve been a pet parent to a high maintenance dog and a few crazy cats, so I know a lot about pet safety and how to thwart escape attempts.
“I have a two year old, large, german shepherd and he can be a lot to handle for anyone. Jillian's house is the only place I have full confidence in. My dog, Roman, loves going there. As soon as I put him in the car in the am and start driving down my normal route to her house he full on cries as loud as he can until he arrives. I do not even have to walk him to the door anymore, I open up the back door and he runs as fast as he can straight to her front door. Her house is extremely well kept, and certainly dog friendly. Jillian has a hand (and heart) of gold. Roman requires lots of outside playtime, Jillian has a huge fenced in backyard where he loves to run around with his friends. She also takes him to the park daily to run around and get even more exercise. Jillian's house is truly a 5 start doggie hotel. With my crazy work schedule, Jillian is always flexible and accommodating. I do not think I could get through every week without having her by my side to take care of Roman and his needs. I will forever continue to use Jillian's daycare as long as she will have us..... Which I know would never be a problem because Jillian loves Roman just as much as I do..... (and that is a WHOLE LOT! :-)”

“Our dog Baxter hasn’t been to doggy day care for a couple of years, so he had extra anxiety on top of his normal separation anxiety. Cliff allowed us to meet up the day prior to ensure that Baxter would be comfortable in the environment, which included a cat. The visit was a success. Cliff had a room dedicated to the animals and a beautiful backyard with vibrant green grass, which Baxter loved. Cliff was very friendly and seemed like a natural with dogs. This made us feel good about leaving Baxter with him for doggy day care the next day. When we dropped Baxter off, he acted shy at first, hesitant to approach and sticking close to us, but he looked very happy at pick-up, wagging his tail and greeting us with excitement. Cliff sent a photo and update about Baxter's visit. Baxter usually needs several visits to trust new people. Cliff patiently gave him space as he introduced and welcomed him to the pack, making the experience feel calm and positive for Baxter. We highly recommend Cliff, and will be using his services in the future.”
“Jen is wonderful!! We are doing doggy daycare for our almost 4 month old golden pup Louie and Jen is so loving, kind, flexible, easy going and a great communicator. She treats him like her own and Louie gets SO excited when we pull up to her house. The tail wags and kisses when he sees her says it all. ❤️ As any pet parent knows, leaving your pup can be stressful. Jen keeps me in the loop, sends me photos and updates throughout the day which makes me so happy. We are looking forward to many more bookings with her. Thank you Jen!”

About: I’ve had the opportunity to care for both dogs and cats, as well as other animals. I am comfortable with animals who need more attention, and animals of different temperaments. I am available most evenings and weekends for your needs! Presently I am returning to being fully self employed, so I am available at all times each day. You as the pet owner will know your pet best, so I plan to follow any and all instructions and feedback that you give me to make you and your pet feel comfortable and secure. I love to keep animals engaged through play, snacks, cuddles, or outside time (if applicable) so that you come home to a happy, relaxed fur baby. I am comfortable feeding, giving oral medication, and cleaning up litter boxes.
“Vahid took exceptional care of Rue and Reo over five days. He provided plenty of photos and constant updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He was very attentive to their well-being and even let me know when the weather was too hot for them to safely walk, showing great judgment and care. Beyond the walks, Vahid spent time playing with the dogs and making sure they were happy and engaged. It was clear from the photos and updates that Rue and Reo genuinely loved spending time with him. His communication, reliability, and genuine affection for the dogs made the experience outstanding. I would highly recommend Vahid to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and attentive dog walker.”
“Jill is phenomenal! I have a very rambunctious 2 year old German Shepherd/Husky mix and she has been fantastic with her. Jill is conscious to reinforce our training with heeling and making sure my dog doesn't go crazy over squirrels. I would hire Jill over and over again.”
“Milagros is an excellent companion and walker for my dog Rex. Rex needs a walker who stays alert to his surroundings and is able to anticipate situations which might cause problems. Milagros handles all of Rex's anxieties and redirects when needed. Rex comes home happy and relaxed. Milagros walks Rex 5 days a week while I recover from a broken leg. She is on time, communicates well, and enjoys Rex. I trust her completely and am grateful to have found Milagros to help out for the next couple of months.”

“We are so happy that Danielle is taking great care of our fur baby! She is great with communicating regarding walking times and days, she loves our fur child like her own, and she is dependable. Highly recommend!”
About: I love animals and can't wait to care for your pet while you're away. I get the job done the way you want it, and I am no complainer! I am just a person who loves dogs/cats and making them happy. This should be a fun time for your little guy, and I can't think of a better way to spend my days! I have grown up surrounded by animals and have watched very diverse breeds including Pomeranians, Italian Grey Hounds, Pugs, Poodles, Chihuahuas, Huskies, Dachshunds, Shih Tzus, Aussies, Labs, Goldens, Corgis, and more. On top of my experience with numerous breeds I also have experience watching senior dogs, dogs needing anxiety medication, bathing dogs with skin conditions, etc. I miss having a dog to take care of, so I hope that you will consider me for your next service! I was also a foster parent at the Cat Adoption Team and have lots of experience with kittens and cats. My husband and I work together to provide the best all around care. We do have jobs outside of Rover, but I work from home 80% of the time, and my husband works from home 100% of the time. If we sound like a good fit, then I hope to hear from you! 😊 My husband and I can board/provide daycare for your animals any day of the week because of our work from home schedules. For dropins and house visits I am available most days, but usually not Tuesdays or Wednesdays. But feel free to ask, because my schedule is usually flexible! We have a fenced yard with chickens, and one cat. We are located in a quiet court with tons of birds and squirrels for your baby to watch.
About: I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats of all sizes for neighbors, friends, and family. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and following specific care routines. I like to take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to providing the best possible care. Pet care fits well into my routine. I have practice Monday through Thursday from 2-4 PM, so I am available to care for your pets before and after practice, as well as on weekends! I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care and making sure your pets receive the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection! I also keep owners updated regularly and follow any specific instructions to ensure their pet receives the best possible care while they are away.
“Have had Isabella dog walking service for a few months now, and I am still thrilled with her service! She's super attentive for my pup and I've seen such a growth in independence and potty training since having her. Thanks a million again, Isabella!”

“Jessica is amazing! She has walked our 2 dogs for us when we’ve been away on a couple of occasions now and she’s done a great job every time. Our dogs can be a bit difficult to handle (one is very reactive and the other can be nervous, both can be unsure about strangers) and she handled them with ease and they’re very happy to see her now. She went above and beyond, and even spent some extra time hanging out with them. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including raising several litters of chihuahua puppies. I’ve watched every family dog and pup grow up, and took care of them from birth to old age. Through my experiences, I’ve grown to intuit animals and can pick up on and anticipate their needs. I love nurturing fur babies and making sure they always feel comfortable, safe, and loved. When it comes to my own, I have been a pet parent for close to 6 years. I have a 5.5-year old pup who looks like a mini golden named Leia who is my world and absolutely loves making new friends!! I also have a 3-year old maltipoo pup who is a sweetheart named Chuy and plays with every dog he meets, he’s a charmer. We also have 1-year old Zoë and Luna who are descendants of our Leia & Chuy 🥰 On Rover, I have regularly taken care of many different dogs of all ages, shapes, and sizes since 2018. I’m very flexible and can be requested the same day. I will be sure to give you updates and send pictures and videos of your dog throughout the visit to ensure their safety and happiness, and to show you some puppy play time with my fur babies. When I'm home, I may walk your dog (depending on the weather), will dedicate time to play with them, and give them lots of wholehearted love and treats. I have a spacious home for dogs to run around and play with an equally spacious backyard. I also live in a safe neighborhood. I currently work full-time and hybrid, and my partner works fully remotely so your dog will always be in good company! First thing I do in the morning is feed your fur baby, let them outside to go to the bathroom, and take them on a walk. Once we return from the walk, Leia typically likes to play with your fur baby for hours, but also knows when to give others space when needed. Once playtime is over, the doggies tend to nap for nearly the same amount of time. I feed your dogs additional organic treats that we have, unless you'd prefer I don't or if they have allergies. Doggies are allowed on the furniture (with a throw blanket on top) for extra snuggles, warmth and comfort. After work, I will take your dog for another walk around the neighborhood and then feed them again. I please ask that you bring your dog’s bed so they have their own space when they need to take it. I have a fenced backyard so your dog can go to the bathroom and soak in the sun anytime. My partner and I also take the dogs to the park occassionally after work and let them run around and play.
About: Experienced Pet sitter, dog walker of all breeds. Love cats! small and large animals. I can stay overnight in your home to give you peace of mind and know your pet is not being left alone for long hours.. I can have cats in my home but not dogs. Worked for 2 well know Pet sitter Companies in Sacramento. I have been an animal artist/lover all my life. I had my own pet portrait business for 10 years. I can use Reiki healing. which uses our universal energy to help heal and give comfort to pets that have problems such as arthritis or other immune issues of aging. This is done with a gentle hands on positions on pet body. I am loving, patient, responsible and have a great respect and affinity to animals and their beauty and joy that they bring us. They are our most treasured members of our family. I will care for them like they are my own. I understand the love bond we build with our pets. I have been away from Pet sitting for a few years now. But have missed this enjoyable job so much. I have summers off which is perfect to give my time to the animals!. i am a teacher/substitute at SCUSD and love kids as much as animals! I have been gone but I am still an avid animal lover. I hope I can pick up where I left off. It is now 2025! I hope this summer will be filled with puppy tales and tails and kitty purrs! thank you for this awesome opportunity to love on your pets. Donna I will have the whole summer free. I am a teacher/substitute at SCUSD so I am looking forward to having lots of play dates with your pets. I have been away from Rover since 2016 only because I was so busy teaching school. I realize I have missed this type of work and would love to continue to do it. I have returned this year June 2025 I will again be available. I am looking forward to making some lasting love connections. I do my best to ensure that your pets feel loved and cared for. That's giving them lots of attention and kisses with Treats too
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with real, hands-on experience. I’ve had my 10-year-old Shih Tzu since he was a puppy and also care for an almost 3-year-old American Bulldog, so I’m comfortable with senior dogs, puppies, and high-energy breeds alike. I understand how important routine, patience, and consistency are, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working full-time Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00am until 5:30pm. I am fully available Mondays and Tuesdays. I am available from 4:00am-7:30am and 6:00pm-9:30pm on the days I work as well. I always treat any pet I see as if they were my own. I am very comfortable with every size of pet along with different energy level.
About: I have always loved being around dogs, showing them love and care, and then sending them back safely to their forever homes. I grew up dog sitting for family and friends, and even taking in strays until we could find their home again. I have fostered puppies and mommies and have cared for older and special needs dogs. My partner and I have our two small terrier mixes that get along with everyone and love love. Personally, I love the "Lucky Dog" philosophy and CaliK9 approach to caring for and teaching all dogs. Pet care is usually an evening or weekend activity for me, but I will be flexible for the right fur family. Communication and prioritizing needs will always be valued. Currently not offering boarding services due to change of address and major location. When I am more familiar with our current living environment this section will be updated.

“Ann is the BEST!! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my pups for more than a day; I was sooo nervous!! But Ann made me and my pups feel so comfortable right from the intro meeting!! I have an older Chiweenie who was abused and doesn't do well with people and new situations...Ann showed me pictures daily and was very responsive each time I reached out. My baby was getting pets, and sitting right beside her!! She knew her medical issue the moment i mentioned it. My other baby, a teacup Pom is very clingy, and and needs walking every day. Had pictures daily of her sitting on the doggy bed or getting attention. Now, at home, she's a little less clingy!! Ann is 5 stars!!”
“Michelle and Craig were wonderful taking care of our two dogs. Craig was so kind and scheduled an alarm in the middle of the night so that our elderly dog Suzy wouldn’t have to use a pad to relieve herself. What great care they took of our pups! Highly recommended”
“Coryn was an amazing host! We had to leave our sweet dog while away for 7 days and it couldn’t have gone any more perfect. She was on top of communication and keeping us updated with pictures. Leia had a blast, well taken care of and enough space available for Leia to be comfortable.”
“Doh is an excellent sitter. We left our dog Bailey for the first time with a stranger but Doh was nothing but great to him, she sent us pictures and we were so happy that he got to play with other canine friends”
“Our dog, Zeus, stayed for his first time with Nelly and seemed to really enjoy it. He was happy and heathy and came home with the same fun and loving personality he's known for. Big thanks to Nelly for the cute pics during his stay too.”
“Best ever! We have a special needs dog, a rescue who had been abused and attacked by other dogs and they treated her so well she felt at home from day 1. We are so thankful for everything. We got pictures, she borrowed a jacket when it was cold and rainy and she went on long walks. Best experience ever!”
“Thank you Reginay for caring for Queenie. She had a great time and I knew she was in the best hands. Lots of walks and play time. Pics and prompt communication. Appreciate it!”
“Billie had the most amazing time with Alexis! The drop off was very warm and welcoming, I received tons of photos and videos of Billie having so much fun with the family & other pets, and pickup was quick and convenient. I could not ask for a better sitter and will absolutely rebook if/when needed.”
“Serena and Wes are absolutely outstanding! We had to find a sitter in this area for our wedding and immediately knew that they would be the best choice. They were so thorough and thoughtful at our meet and greet. We instantly knew our pup would be safe and well loved with them. Throughout Finn’s stay with them, they constantly checked in with us. It was clear from pictures and videos that he was having the absolute best time. We are so so grateful to them for loving our boy in our absence. Could not recommend them more!”
“Jataveya did a fantastic job at taking care of our dog. It was a last minute service and she eagerly accepted. We're always happy and at peace knowing that Jataveya takes great care of him. She and her family are loving and super fun with Wilbur.”
“Wyne took great care of our puppy Teddy, this was his first time being away from home overnight. Wyne sent pictures and videos throughout the two days. My husband and I truly appreciated the communication and put any reservations on ease. Would recommend Wyne to watch your pet! She is amazing.”
“Ani took SUCH amazing care of Maisy! She sent lots of pictures and updates. I honestly felt bad picking her up because she has so much fun with them! I will absolutely use Ani in the future!!”
“Absolutely Wonderful Dog Sitter! We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our dog Chewy received. From the start, it was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being. Chewy was feeling down and wasn’t eating much, which had us worried. Not only did she keep us updated with regular photos and messages, but she also went the extra mile by asking if she could cook him some liver to mix with his food to help encourage him to eat. Thanks to her kindness and attentiveness, Chewy perked up by the third day—he was running around and playing again! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We felt like she treated Chewy as if he were her own dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
“Cliff was absolutely amazing with my golden retriever. From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure my dog was comfortable and happy. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home relaxed, well cared for, and honestly looked like he had his own little vacation. Cliff went above and beyond with attention, exercise, and overall care. You can tell he genuinely loves animals and treats them like his own.”
“Charlie clearly enjoyed his stay with Juan - he came back very tired and very happy! Juan was a very quick communicator leading up to and throughout the booking, sending pictures and responding quickly to every message. He was also flexible with our shifting travel plans in terms of dropping off/picking up Charlie, which really helped us and took a load off our minds. Would recommend Juan without a second thought!”
“Geisel was wonderful with Milo. She was accommodating and professional. I really appreciated all the cute photos. I would definitely book with her again!”
“He seemed so happy there and he came back home to his usual routine with no issues (when we have boarded him with petsmart etc. there has always been an adjust period). Got some feedback on some things we can work on at home too. Thank you!”
