“Mitchell’s our go-to sitter! She’s adaptable (I had to drop off Zara a little earlier than expected and she was super chill after I communicated, asking her if it was ok), and Zara loves staying there! Zara will be back next month :)”
“Kena was great and very kind! Our dog was not used to being without us and Kena was extremely patient with his less than model behavior. We learned a lot about of dogs behavior through this experience and will be able to take that with us when planning future care. Her family is great and they provide a safe and happy environment. We would recommend Kena to anyone! Mahalo!”
“My dog loooooves Danielle so much! She sends me pictures when he is with her and he always looks so happy. She is able to pick him up and bring him home and he is always ecstatic to see her when she arrives. He comes home a happy healthy guy every time. I'm so grateful for her.”
“Holly took care of my very nervous 14 year old dog Abbie for 10 days. I received multiple photos and videos updates throughout the time. Holly patiently worked with Abbie, helping her to get over her fears. I now say my Abbie has two mommies! I recommend Holly without reservation. Your dog will be well taken care of while you are away.”
“Jennifer was very accommodating to our short notice need for care for my dog. She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates during Rivers short stay. River came home happy and we are thankful for the great care she got with Jennifer.”
“Jessica was very kind and patient with my wild boy! She was communicative and sent me updates daily. We are excited to have found Jessica to keep an eye on our pup this summer!”
“Literally the most amazing pet sitter! This was my puppies first time being away from me. Mary has been nothing but loving to my little Bella. She sent me photos and videos to update me throughout the day. As soon as I dropped her off, Mary sent me adorable videos! Mary and her husband are incredibly sweet and made me feel more than comfortable, even excited to have my puppy stay with them. I knew that Bella was going to be in great hands. They asked lots of questions when I dropped her off and helped me carry all Bella’s stuff inside their house. Their dogs were sweet and gentle with her. I am so happy! I am 100% booking with Mary again! If you want a great pet sitting experience and a second home for your dog when you need it, book with Mary! My puppy was so incredibly happy and loved!”
“Heather took great care of our dog while we were gone. She spoiled her and sent us daily pictures and updates. Definitely eased our anxiety of being away from our sweet pup. Would definitely recommend Heather and rebook for any future trips.”
“I am so happy that I found Mark. He was wonderful with our dogs. He kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures. Our vacation was so much better not having to worry if our dogs were ok. They had a blast! I will definitely be using Mark again.”
“We had a great experience with Yesenia! My husband and I are very thorough when we are choosing a sitter for our dogs. We like to make sure that the environment is welcoming, safe, and fun for them as they are our family members (we look for sitters who allow dogs on furniture and on the bed and are good with dogs who have dietary restrictions). Yesenia was very understanding and after a meet and greet, we felt very comfortable having her watch our girls in her home. She has a great space for sitting and a wonderful backyard where our girls could run around with each other! She even asked if we had any preferential instructions that we may not have included in our online request. She was very responsive when we asked for updates on our dogs' stay and sent pictures to us as well. Her availability was also a great fit for us. We will definitely use Yesenia again and would highly recommend her for others as well.”
“Giovanna was wonderful with my senior, diabetic dog. She took good care of her and gave her all the medications while I was gone. I felt relieved to see pictures of her every day. Giovanna is a very caring person and I highly recommend.”
“Tiffany was amazing! She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates. We really love that we found someone that we were confident in knowing our Maxine was in great hands! Thanks Tiffany! We will definitely be rebooking!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Jenna was incredibly communicative the entire time, sending me updates and photos so I knew my boy was happy and well cared for. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be hiring her again for the future and I highly recommend Jenna!”
“Even living in an apartment do not hesitate leaving large dogs here. Teralene is awesome. I have a very large lab and she handled her perfectly. 10 of 10 score. Thank you so much again see you next time”
“Deena was great with my dogs she was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Greatly appreciate the photos and updates! The dogs had a great yard to run in with lots of toys. Highly recommend Deena for your pet sitting needs! Thank you!!”

“Sarah took care of my two cats. She let me know when she arrived and when she was done. She not only took great care of my cats but she spent time with them. Sarah was very helpful when I asked her to check on certain things for me. I definitely would recommend her. Very trustworthy!”
“Danielle is a great sitter. I am lucky that she lives close to where I live. She dropped in on my two cats twice each day and sent me photo updates. I came home to an apartment which was exactly how I left it, with two very happy kitties. What more could you ask for?”
About: I know what it means to view your pets as your family. I share my home with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and backyard is even shared with 15 chickens! My furry and feathered friends are my world! And we’ve learned a lot together about building a healthy, happy, and cohesive home through trust and training. Other than being a pet parent for the past 15 years, I grew up as the neighborhood pet sitter as a kid/teen. I often did overnight stays for anxious pets, or provided timely medication for sweet seniors. As a pet parent, I truly understand the importance of having a sitter you can trust to provide mutually agreed upon services. With me, you have reliable care for all your pet needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years. I’ve been trusted to house sit/pet sit multiple times with no issues. Everyone is always happy. I work full time from 2:30 pm-1 am, currently I am on baby bonding leave and am fully available until August 3rd. I have been able to have more free time and availability to care for my animals and help friends/family with their animals. I play with my pets and have done crate training in the past. If there is a yard I take them outside and play fetch. I keep distance when walking dogs and always keep them on a leash to provide a safe environment for the dog and others around in case a change happens.
“Kassandra did an awesome job taking care of my cat Nala while I was away camping for 4 days! They were super responsive, communicative, and provided great updates. Nala seemed happy with their company, and I could tell Nala was well taken care of. They went above and beyond to ensure Nala's comfort and happiness. I feel lucky to have found them on Rover and I'll work with Kassandra again in the future. 10/10 - Would recommend!”
“Lauren is wonderful! She is professional, friendly, and takes excellent care of our fur baby. While I hate to leave my cat for extended periods, it’s a great comfort knowing that she’s the one taking care of him. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Giovanna was great! She was so kind enough to literally take our baby Mochi in last minute an hour before we left for our trip. She has dogs and cats of her own and has a beautiful home that was very inviting. She even accommodated to Mochi who is only 5 months and is frightened of everything. She put him in his own room so he could feel comfortable enough if he wanted to roam around and come out and play on his own. She also sent us pictures of Mochi letting us know he was warming up to her and her pets. I would definitely have Giovanna cat sit for us again! She’s so sweet and very accommodating! Her dogs Harley, Sadie and cat Midnight are also so cute and friendly! Thanks for having us Giovanna! We will see you again soon!”

I pay attention and meet your pet where they’re at so we can build our own trusting and loving bond. I work remotely from home, so I can be flexible to meet your needs. My partner and I work together to ensure our own dogs are cared for, comfortable, and get lots of sniffing time outside. I’d love to speak with you about the best way to accommodate your schedule. I prefer to meet with you and your pet before scheduling a service to ensure that everyone is comfortable. I like to take the opportunity to ask any clarifying questions and walk through expectations so that there are no gray areas about the best ways to care for your pet and keep them safe.

About: I have experience caring for many dogs for friends family and neighbors. I often would care for my neighbors dog since he was a puppy, parents worked full time and puppies need all the attention they can get so I helped train him. I also trained my own puppy Melo, he’s still growing and learning but I love being his mom. I take extra care of his supplements and nutrition so I know the importance of taking the extra time to do all of that. I have a verry good schedule with being home, I have two dogs of my own iam always coming home at lunch whenever I work. My husband also has a great schedule and helps me out whenever iam not here .

I recently graduated from Chico state and currently have two dogs of my own a 6 year old toy poodle and a 5 months old border collie mix.

Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get cuddles, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently work part time at Bath & Body Works and usually only have 2–3 shifts a week, so my schedule is very flexible. When I’m not working, I’m home spending time with my own dogs. This allows me to be available for different drop-off and pick-up times and gives me plenty of time to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like they’re one of my own. My home is a safe, loving environment where pets get lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal routine and help them feel right at home.

About: About Me Hi! My name is Jalyssa, and I’m a 19-year-old Animal Science major currently in college with a huge passion for animal care and wellbeing. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve had my own dog for 15 years, where I was actively involved in daily care, training, feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure all of their needs were met. Along with caring for my own pets, I also have experience pet sitting for others and helping raise puppies and kittens, so I’m comfortable with animals that need extra patience, attention, and routine. As someone studying Animal Science, I genuinely love learning about animal health and behavior, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m looking for something productive that keeps me busy while also allowing me to do something I genuinely enjoy — spending time with and caring for animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I make sure pets are always supervised, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their specific routines and needs. I pay close attention during walks, feeding times, playtime, and interactions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I also understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve had family dogs my entire life (usually Great Danes or labs), I fostered a litter of puppies in college (that was a learning experience for sure), and then got my own dog, Chewy, 3 years ago. I have always loved having a furry friend around and am constantly taking chewy on walks to get him some fresh air and exercise. I think it’s important for animals to have a satisfying level of mental and physical stimulation in their day to day. If your schedule doesn’t allow for this and I can help you achieve it, i would LOVE to meet you and your fur baby! I work full time Monday-Friday from 8-5 pm in Chico. I take my dog out for walks after work everyday and would love to have yours join! I have weekends off and am available for sitting those days.

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for about 15 years and have always loved them! I am very reliable for walking, sitting, feeding and bathing pets. I no longer have pets in my home, but previously did and loved them more than anything! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m mostly available weekends and some week days, I am very flexible. I have a fenced yard so my pets are well trained. I have a big and a small dog so I know a lot of the differences between the two and what they both require! I am always making sure they have water/ food and pay attention to potty breaks.
About: I’m here to help make sure your pet(s) are cared for when you have a busy day or week. Can’t take your furry friend on vacation? No problem! I can help you out :) If your pet has special requirements, just let me know & I will make sure they feel supported. I have been caring for animals since I can remember... and in the past 15 years started caring for the pets of family, friends, and clients. I have experience with both large and small breeds. Caring for pets fits well with my lifestyle; I enjoy taking pups for walks outside. It’s also a fun break in the day to drop in for a care visit & give your pets some time and attention. When house sitting, I like to make sure your pet gets exercise earlier in the day. This helps improve their mood, appetite, and overall behavior while their usual human is away. We’ll stick to the house rules like mealtimes & furniture preferences, but I mighttt sneak an extra treat in here and there (unless you request I refrain from spoiling.)
“Super Cooper seems to really like her. She gets a warm greeting and I appreciate that she runs and walks with him! it was raining and Lucy still took him out and he seems very relaxed like he's ready for a nice nap”

I can offer a safe environment for your fur baby. Your animals needs will always come first while under my watch. My roommate has a mastiff mix, who I babysit consistently. He has a specific routine leaving the house under commands and when it’s feeding time. I enjoy rewarding animals for good behavior. If you have specific instructions on feeding time, potty time, and play time I will do exactly as instructed. I will do thorough research when walking your pet to make sure it is a safe environment for them to be in.

Your dog will be well taken care of while you are away.”

“Literally the most amazing pet sitter! This was my puppies first time being away from me. Mary has been nothing but loving to my little Bella. She sent me photos and videos to update me throughout the day. As soon as I dropped her off, Mary sent me adorable videos! Mary and her husband are incredibly sweet and made me feel more than comfortable, even excited to have my puppy stay with them. I knew that Bella was going to be in great hands. They asked lots of questions when I dropped her off and helped me carry all Bella’s stuff inside their house. Their dogs were sweet and gentle with her. I am so happy! I am 100% booking with Mary again! If you want a great pet sitting experience and a second home for your dog when you need it, book with Mary! My puppy was so incredibly happy and loved!”
