“Olivia was super flexible and communicative. We needed to do a pretty early drop off and it was no issue. We got lots of great pictures throughout her stay. Our dog is coming home much happier than if she had stayed at a boarding place.”
“Tristi did an amazing job! She was communicative, attentive, and made sure all the pups were safe, comfortable, and happy. It's clear she genuinely cares about dogs, and that gave me so much peace of mind. Her family was wonderful too! I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Poulette was very responsive to communications. I got responses to my inquiries very quickly. And while Whiskey and Vixen boarded with her, I received daily updates and photos of the dogs playing in her yard. I am very glad to have found a home environment for my dogs to stay in when they cannot be at my home.”
“Thank you to Tara. Our dog Murphy was well taken care of during his time at Tara’s house. He was treated like a member of her family. We would definitely use Tara’s services again if we need to leave Murphy behind when we go away on a trip.”
“Kandra was excellent!! Very responsive on text with my many questions, kind, easygoing, warm with our dog and sent pictures of our pet during our trip. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be reaching out to her for future vacations!! Thank you so much, Kandra!! 😃”
“First overnight for our puppy with Ruby and her family! As with the last time Cusco spent time at Ruby’s home, he got so much love, attention, and playtime. I received many photos and videos while we were away, always making us feel comfortable and giving updates! I know Cusco is already looking forward to going back :) thank you, Ruby!”
“Grant invested time and effort into making Lucy Lou comfortable with her first boarding experience. It was a relief to leave her with someone with his experience working with dogs. His flexible schedule allowed us to complete our out of town work prior to retrieving her. Thank you again.”
“Impressive. Is the words I need yo say. My dog appears exhausted and happy. He might be a little down after having a friend(dog) while out there. The folks are Lab people and they took took to him like he takes to people. Will use when needed. Thanks guys.”

“I highly recommend Leslie. While I was out of town, she sent me pictures of Kobi. She reassured me that he was being taken care of. She sent a video of Kobi playing with the family. I will certainly use her again.”
“Tyler did a great job watching my two big dogs. He was always available for updates throughout my trip and his knowledge of dogs was evident throughout our interactions. I felt relaxed knowing my dogs were in good hands with Tyler. They came home happy and healthy. Would definitely recommend Tyler to anyone.”
“Domitria was a lifesaver! She was available last minute, welcoming and attentive. She sent me videos of our pup Josie to help us feel more secure with her stay. Will definitely rebook when needed!”
“Alesya was wonderful! She sent us numerous pictures and communicated daily on Mia’s progress while she was staying with Alesya and her family. It’s obvious that Alesya cares deeply about the dogs that she watches.”

About: I can care for kittens a few days old to senior cats. I bottle-fed my cat Seven when he was a few days old and he is a now a big, healthy boy. We have rescued many cats over the years because our family loves them!
“Christina provided excellent care for our cat while we were on a two week vacation. She left our home in impeccable condition and even put fresh sheets on our bed. She communicated clearly and regularly. She sent pictures of our fur baby while we were away because she knew that we missed him. We highly recommend Christina.”
“We needed a last minute drop-in sitter for our two cats for a day over the Xmas holiday. Adrienne was prompt in her communication and thorough in her care for our kitties! Given the time crunch we weren’t able to do a formal meet and greet up front but we felt confident knowing our kitties were in good hands with Adrienne, even though we hadn’t met her ourselves!”
About: I've done multiple housesitting jobs for repeat clients that included taking care of 2 or more cats. Making sure they have food, water and clean litter boxes as well as any other specific requests. I have experience giving medicine in pill form and managing multiple cat dynamics based on the owner's instructions. I will play with them, interact with them to their comfort level and give them specific enrichment if requested.
About: I’ve always been great with cats and enjoy caring for them. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. I’m comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away.
About: Although I don't clean litter boxes, I've had many years experience interacting with cats and being a calm presence for them. A good head scratch and belly rub to give comfort or paying laser toys and feather wands, I bring my own!
About: I’ve had cats for over 10 years and currently share my home with Toulouse and Berlioz (named after the Aristocats because we’re big Disney fans!). One is incredibly sweet, and the other is what I jokingly call “part feral”—he’s hilarious and full of personality. Living with cats has taught me that every cat is different, and I’m happy to provide the care and patience they need to feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I've had cats since I was 5. My grandparents also has a farm so I have lots of experience with farm cats and feral cats. I've also worked for 10+ years with a local rescue, raising kittens only days or weeks old until they are old enough to be fixed and adopted - feeding them milk on a regular schedule and then weaning them onto wet food, then dry food, also teaching them how to be a cat by interacting with my cats. During the course of my volunteering I have also been taught various first aid treatments as well as how to administer medications and injections.
“An excellent experience with my two cats; Carrington knows how to handle them according to their specific needs and preferences. When I returned, they were in great shape and had been very well cared for. Highly recommended 😊”
About: I've had all kinds of animals growing up, and have owned my own pooch for over 10 years, I guess you can say I love spoiling my pets and treating them like a real member of the family! Of course my fur babies fit into my everyday routine, tlc every morning, noon and night! Feed well, treats, grooming, and lots of spoiling, love and kisses! Making sure the animals first trust you and don't feel anxious with you! Making sure they know they are still loved even when their owner is away! Lots of love and care, potty breaks, treats, attention, kisses, pets, and feed and cuddles!
“10/10!!! Poulette P. Was wonderful taking care of my cat Lenny. She did daily check-ins on him in my home. She spent some time with him, made sure he had food water and a clean litter box while I was out of the country for 10 days. She was very communicative, and took daily photos of my cat to ensure me he was doing well. I feel I can trust Poulette and will be utilizing her services in the future again for sure!!!”

“Olivia was great! I highly recommend her! We had a funeral to attend in the Yuba City area and our dog sitter wasn't available..Olivia agreed to watch Bandit with 1 days notice. She sent pictures & gave us updates throughout the afternoon. You could tell she loves dogs! We will definitely use her services again if we ever have a need again for a sitter in that area of California!”
“Lynn was amazing! She went way above and beyond my expectation. I'm extremely protective of my pups and was worried about leaving them, but once I met Lynn and saw how she was with my little guys and with her own "babies", and how secure her yard was, I felt completely at ease and comfortable leaving them in her care. I didn't bring their food with me because we weren't leaving them overnight and they won't eat when we're not there. She made them chicken! which of course they ate right up. This woman LOVES dogs. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”
“Highly recommend Justin and Vanessa! They send plenty of update pics throughout the day. They get plenty of walks and clearly getting plenty of attention and care. The pups agree, they are always happy when I pick them up. Always ready and accommodating for my early drop offs, ready at the gate for pick up and drop off.”
“I was very hesitant in leaving my pup due to me never wanting to leave him with anyone , but today I had to leave town for the day.. I felt comfortable leaving macho with her. She sent me pictures and we talked through out the day! My pup never potty outside before , and today he did!! He must of had fun because he’s been sleeping since I got him back lol.”

“Amber is wonderful! She spent all day dog-sitting my little beastie and even putting up with her messy, water-loving antics at very short notice. Amber sent me videos of Scout during the day so I could see all the fun they were having together, too. What a great first experience with both using Rover and Amber!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I always will, they’re the absolute best! When I turned 16 I became a puppy and dogsitter for many family friends as well. I know that a happy dog is a tired dog and I strive to do that even with my own puppy and yours will get the same treatment! Of course different dogs have different energy levels and I have experience with large, medium, small; puppies or seniors! I also have some light experience giving medication. I currently have one dog, Marvin, who is a two year old small/medium sized mutt! He loves to play and gets along with all other dogs! We love to go to the dog park, regular park, around the neighborhood, and wherever dogs are allowed and would love your pup to join us! I am currently staying at home while I complete my credential program online so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! My yard is completely fenced in and we make sure to keep anything dangerous far out of reach of our pets. Of course we will follow any rules you have with your dog but our dog is allowed on furniture and sleeps wherever he wants.
About: I’ve been in love with animals ever since I can remember. I had two family dogs growing up and currently one of them is living with me in CA. I’ve taken care of dogs ever since i was 14 years old. I love taking them on long walks, playing fetch, and taking them to parks! I’m excited to meet new fur friends :) I currently telework from home right now. Therefore, I’m able to fit pet care into my routine easily. I am able to go on long walks or go to the park with them. I have a small crate in my house where a dog might need to stay. I have a little area outside — it’s not fenced, however, the dogos will be able to use the restroom if needed to. I live by a park as well. It’s only a 5 min drive or a 20 min walk!
“Cheyenne is an amazing dogsitter who truly cares for her clients’ pets. She gives our dog Charlie so much time, love, and attention every time. Whether it’s taking him on a hike, to the beach, or doing training exercises with treats, I know Charlie is super comfortable and loves spending time with her even though he’s the kind of dog that gets separation anxiety. Having someone as trustworthy and thoughtful to take care of Charlie has made us feel comfortable to go on day trips or longer vacations without worrying about our baby. Thanks Cheyenne! 🙏”

About: I am a 15+ year vegan and lifelong animal lover. I have had pets on and off for my whole life, including dogs, cats and other animals and my family has always adopted rescue animals. I even spent a lot of weekends and most summers as a pre-teen/teenager helping on my grandparent’s ranch, where we cared for rescue animals. I love caring for animals and making sure they are well loved and looked after while they are with me. I have regularly dog and cat sat for friends, family and co-workers over the last 15 years or so. I am comfortable with any size or age dogs and cats. My family in the past has had all sized dogs from a chihuahua to the two german shepherd mixes we have now. They are all characters and they make us laugh everyday, and bring joy to our lives. I love being around animals and seeing their different personalities, especially when I meet dogs out public and get to ask their name and say hi. It genuinely makes me happy. I look forward to helping you care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I have experience giving medicine in pill form to cats and dogs, have cared for young and senior pets alike. Whether it’s watching them overnight, or doing drop-ins to maintain a regular meal/medicine routine or making sure your pet stays hydrated throughout the day, I prioritize comfort and health for all animals in my care. I currently work 8-5pm from home, and I would like to offer my caregiving in around those hours. For stop overs/check in's during my lunch break, after work hours and on weekends, I will check in on your pet(s) and make sure they are taken care of and have what they need, per your specific instructions. For overnight care, I would simply need somewhere to sit with my computer and reliable wifi in order to work from your home, so I can be there all day with your pet(s). I do not offer care from my own home, but will travel to and/or stay at your home for the specific care you many need.

I am retired and looking to fill my time with love and cuddles. I have always enjoyed caring for the variety of animals I have and have had. I love learning all the cute special quirks and loves of every animal I interact with. I am very respectful of other people's space and items - my focus is on the animals in my charge. I can feed, walk, play and generally be a companion to any animal. I also respect the home and treat it even better than my own, ensuring that I leave the home as I found it.

When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. My goal is always to reduce stress, keep pets comfortable, and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving reliable, loving care.
“Gavina is so amazing! I have 2 dogs that have special needs and she watched them during a vacation. She sent lots of updates and pictures and totally went above and beyond. I can't recommend her enough. I will definitely have her take care of my animals always!”

About: I've had pets or animals in my life since I was 7. As a young boy it was my chore to take care of the animals and to make sure they had what they need. I also have been taught how to know if an animal.is sick, or even just frightened. My wife was a dog groomer before her current job and knows more about dogs than she knows about herself. We have 10 egg laying hens, one turkey hen, 4 mini pigs, 2 guinea pigs , 20 baby chicks and 5 baby turkeys. We are not limited to just dogs and cats! We will be happy to help with all your furry (or feathery, or scaly) babies! We love to help out on small farms and will not hesitate to go into a pen with any animal to feed or water it.

We try to convey a positive energy towards our boards helping them to feel at home. We are also well versed in training dogs to help them rid themselves of anxiety. My pets have always loved to play with some type of toy, so we make sure they have access to what they may want. We also like to play fetch or just play with the ball. We test it first but some dogs like to play in the water.
About: I've had the pleasure of loving and taking care of furbabies of all sizes for 20 years. I first started pet sitting for an acquaintance in 2005. Later, when I became established in the area as a trusted house cleaner, I started pet sitting for some of my clients and their friends. Sadly, I lost all my clients and contacts save one in the Camp Fire as my client base was in Paradise and Magalia. Since then, I have taken care of my own little furbabies and ever so often cared for the Chihuahua/Pug/Terrier mix of the one remaining client from Paradise. Within the years that I was actively pet sitting, I took care of dogs of all sizes from Chihuahuas to Whippets. I am excited to once again assist you with your pet sitting needs and ensure the best attention is given to your dog’s health, happiness, and well-being! For my clients in Paradise and Magalia, I did both drop-ins and overnight stays. (My favorite memory was staying with two little lovely Dachsies for three weeks!) I made sure each pet I took care of was fed as per the instructions given to me and that they had access to fresh, clean water. Whether it’s maintaining a regular meal routine or making sure your pet stays hydrated throughout the day, I prioritize comfort and health for all furbabies in my care. I also have experience administering medications, whether oral or topical, and am dedicated to ensuring your pets specific medical needs are met with precision and care. I know personally the importance of a vet's instructions and the proper maintenance of a consistent medication routine. I also know the importance of exercise in keeping a pet happy and healthy. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous activity, I am happy to ensure that your pet gets the exercise and playtime they need! Above all, each dog that I have taken care of I have treated as part of my family. I look forward to providing your furbaby with the same love, attention, and care that I have given to my past clients and to my own pets! I currently have a day job between the hours of 9:00AM and 3:30PM, Monday through Friday. My hours are flexible with my day job and I can switch obligations around as needed to suit your pet sitting needs. I do not work on weekends. I can be available during the day on week days, and am available nights during the week, and evenings and nights on weekends. For any pet in my care, whether it has been a client's pet or my own, I have always ensured that they have gotten plenty of love and quality care. For past clients, I adhered to all instructions given pertaining to feeding time, exercise and medications if applicable. I made sure there were plenty of cuddles and that every pet in my care felt safe and secure.

“Olivia was super flexible and communicative. We needed to do a pretty early drop off and it was no issue. We got lots of great pictures throughout her stay. Our dog is coming home much happier than if she had stayed at a boarding place.”
“Tristi did an amazing job! She was communicative, attentive, and made sure all the pups were safe, comfortable, and happy. It's clear she genuinely cares about dogs, and that gave me so much peace of mind. Her family was wonderful too! I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Poulette was very responsive to communications. I got responses to my inquiries very quickly. And while Whiskey and Vixen boarded with her, I received daily updates and photos of the dogs playing in her yard. I am very glad to have found a home environment for my dogs to stay in when they cannot be at my home.”
“Kandra was excellent!! Very responsive on text with my many questions, kind, easygoing, warm with our dog and sent pictures of our pet during our trip. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely be reaching out to her for future vacations!! Thank you so much, Kandra!! 😃”
“Grant invested time and effort into making Lucy Lou comfortable with her first boarding experience. It was a relief to leave her with someone with his experience working with dogs. His flexible schedule allowed us to complete our out of town work prior to retrieving her. Thank you again.”
“Impressive. Is the words I need yo say. My dog appears exhausted and happy. He might be a little down after having a friend(dog) while out there. The folks are Lab people and they took took to him like he takes to people. Will use when needed. Thanks guys.”

Just like my own kids, I understand routine is very important and promise to care for your pets as you would in your own home. There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your fur baby feel safe and secure, as I would accept nothing but the same for my own! About this sitter: A caregiver by nature, I have always had a lot of love to give! Grew up on a farm and can honestly say I have no memories of life without some kind of fur baby in my life. Now that I am creating a home for my own children, I want them to grow in the same atmosphere. Our home will always be open to help and care for anyone and anything in need! I have a pet friendly home with a large backyard to play. My senior dog is friendly and welcoming along with 3 cats who love to do their own thing (all are fixed and well behaved).

Not to mention a family of animal lovers to make sure your fur baby gets all the love they could ever want!
“Tyler did a great job watching my two big dogs. He was always available for updates throughout my trip and his knowledge of dogs was evident throughout our interactions. I felt relaxed knowing my dogs were in good hands with Tyler. They came home happy and healthy. Would definitely recommend Tyler to anyone.”
“Domitria was a lifesaver! She was available last minute, welcoming and attentive. She sent me videos of our pup Josie to help us feel more secure with her stay. Will definitely rebook when needed!”
“Samantha is wonderful! Thank you so much for taking Milo at the last minute. I can tell he had fun and a great experience on the farm. I also really appreciate the pictures and video! Thank you!”
“I was nervous having to use this app for my dogs to stay the night at a strangers house. My original plans fell through. Hailey not only accommodated my last minute plans so I could still go on my trip, I completely messed up the booking and she had no clue problems accommodating this as well. She gave me updates throughout the visit. I was so happy to hear my dogs got along great with her dogs and kids. She used her best judgement on when she introduced the dogs which all I wanted was for her to be comfortable. I did tell her my dogs go to daycare 4 days a week so I know my dogs are well behaved but you still never know. I will definitely be using her again. She already said she would be happy to watch my dogs for my vacation in July.”
“Arwen and her family welcomed our pup and took very good care of her. It was really nice to get updates and pictures while we were away. We will definitely be leaving our dog with them the next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend. ?”
