“Gina is fantastic. She truly love dogs and goes out of her way to make sure they are comfortable. Her place is wonderful and has ample fenced outdoor space with shade and trees. It's a great environment and she even sent my dog home with a toy she had grown attached to. I'd go back without hesitation.”
“I know my dog had an amazing time. She looked happy and relaxed when I picked her up. My baby Roxie did well her dog and think they may have horsed around quite a bit since when we got home she just napped like she does after having park time. We got pictures and updates of Roxie and we could tell she was tended to and being loved as well. We were late to pick her up due to flight delays and eventually cancelations. Sylvia was easy to coordinate with for the extra unexpected day. Also, my dog was bitten by a dog the day before we dropped her off and she had meds and special instructions to which I know she kept a good eye on her as the wound/bite had healed and was looking good even 2days after the incident. I would totally recommend her as she is attentive and caring. Roxie is our baby girl and she can be timid but with Sylvia my doggie felt right at home!! That is priceless to know while we were so far away from our little girl.”
“Sherryl was fantastic. She is very compassionate, knowledgeable and competent when it comes to pet care. Her home is paradise for animals, and you can tell she loves all animals dearly. Highest recommendation to her and her services”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time playing with Sabrina's dogs while we went to our Son's wedding, she provided us with photos and videos of them playing and shaving a ball. They were happy to see us, but honestly reluctant to go. Skye wanted to stay with her new friends at the farm. We will definitely use Sabrina again and highly recommend her'. Thank you so much 😊”

“Angie was a wonderful host for our dog. She was communicative and responsive during the booking process. We’re always nervous leaving our dog with someone new, even though we have always had good experiences with Rover. Our experience with Angie did not disappoint. We received photo and story updates during the week our dog stayed with Angie and her two poodles. Upon our arrival Poppi ran right past us to continue playing in Angie’s yard. He appeared content. We loved how Angie told us a lot of stories of his visit (even the ones where he wasn’t the best behaved). Her love for animals is evident and will use Angie again when we are in need of a sitter.”
“Emily and Sean are great! We always boarded our lab at our vet when we couldn't take him with us. A friend of ours told us about Rover and then I saw Emily's posting. Both her and Sean are nice, easy dog people. But also, they were professional and super on top of caring for Bruno. I am very happy to have found them!”
“Denise and her girls were fantastic with my pup Archie. She kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos! She even made homemade treats with her girls for Archie. He got to take a bag home. So happy with Denise, I will definitely be leaving Archie with her again.”
“Linda was so great with our dear Moki lab/husky mix. She sent pictures and updates and I always knew our dog was in the best hands. I would use Linda's services again in a heartbeat!”
“Stella and her family took great care of my puppy during his extended stay. He became very close with her family, made friends with her dogs, and took many leisurely walks in her backyard. He had a great time and seems like he even became more easygoing and outgoing after we came home. I would highly recommend her!!”
“First and foremost Angelica was great. This was my first time having her watch my baby. She’s sent me daily updates with cute pictures attached. She took my baby to new places and tried new things with her. Thank you again ?”
“Gabby was a great sitter for my dog. I was very comfortable the whole time I was on vacation. She provided updates with photos and it was great to know that her dog is friendly and got along well with mine. Thank you!”

“We are so happy to have found Lisette — She has great energy and is truly a great caregiver. It can be a bit nerve racking leaving our pups with someone new, but upon our first meeting, we were quickly put at ease and knew Riley and Miley would be in good hands. They warmed up to Lisette in a matter of minutes and really enjoyed their stay with her. They had a great time running around and exploring the beautiful property... the proof was in the pictures that were sent to us! This was their first visit with Lisette and definitely not their last — I’m sure Riley and Miley look forward to their next vacay with her!”

About: I have always had the responsibility of caring for my own animals, but I love getting to help other people care for their pets.

Currently I work an evening shift at a restaurant 4 nights a week so I have the day open before 5 pm Friday through Monday and Tuesday Wednesday Thursday I am completely available. My schedule also will be opening up more soon. I have a very large area for dogs to run around and two very friendly dogs of my own.

“Charlene did an amazing job watching my cat while I was out of town for several days. My cat doesn’t always take quickly to new people, but it was clear that she became relaxed around Charlene quickly. I received frequent updates and was confident that my cat was getting both care and engagement from her staying there. And Charlene was clear in her communication so that we were always on the same page. There were a lot of delays the day I was supposed to be heading home and it wasn’t clear that I would make it home the day I was supposed to. Charlene offered to do whatever she could to check in on my cat and make sure she was looked after still if I didn’t end up making it home. It’s clear her care and concern for animals, even shy kitties. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“Linda was ready to take care of our pups when we arrived. She has tons of experience with many dogs and we felt at peace leaving our two there for the day while we went to see the Sequoias. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again we will certainly contact Linda!”
“Emily watched my dog Prince while my family and I went to the lake at Twain Harte. She was amazing! The original time I had proposed didn't work, but she was very accommodating for a later drop off time. Thanks to her my family and I were able to go to the lake (where there are no dog allowed), and I had peace of mind the whole time. Thank you, Emily!”
About: Between growing up with cats and dogs, a parrot, horses, rabbits, and a tortoise, working with dogs in 4-H, showing my dog at the fair in the highest level of obedience, loving and caring for puppies, senior, blind, and deaf dogs, pet sitting for my neighbors and community members growing up, and working with clients through Rover doing drop in visits for walks, play time, feeds, and overnight house sits as well, I've become a well rounded animal caretaker and lover. Back at home after 9 months of traveling Asia, I am currently a free bird when it comes to scheduling, so please reach out with any requests for assistance meeting your pet care needs. With much TLC, tender loving care is how I care for pets. Additionally, I love for animals to be outside and so do I. My old dog and I used to go on so many hikes and swim in all of the creeks, having so much fun playing in the mountains. Despite enjoying dogs free of leashes, when I am walking dogs, I like to walk them on-leash as risk management to prevent unpredictable bad situations from arising.
“Excellent! Tallulah was out like a light for the rest of the evening. Sabrina was very caring and kept me posted all day. Her visits will definitely be a regular thing. ❤️”
“Our 4th stay with Stacey! Our dogs have so much fun when they're at Stacey's. We know they're in great hands when they're there! Thank yo Stacey for taking such great care of our girls!”

About: Hi, I grew up around several different animals of all sizes from rodents/reptiles to livestock/dogs. I have always had at least one dog in my life at all times. The more the merrier. I love all animals big and small. I worked at a kennel where I learned about boarding and training dogs for about a year and I have pet sat for about 15 years in grand total. I currently work at a pet store in Sutter Creek. I love being around dogs and training or even just hanging out and playing. I am a outdoorsy person. I have experience with livestock animals also. Horses, cattle, chickens, Lhamas, mini animals, donkeys. I have references also if you would like them. I work part time so some days I am gone at work. But our 17 year old daughter is always home. We also go to church Sunday morning so we would be gone for a couple hours but otherwise we are always home. I care for pets in my home as I would my own. I have 3 German Shepherds. 10 months to 7 years old. As for in home pet sitting I would follow whatever routine you have set for your fur babies already so it would be easier on them.
“Kinny was super easy to coordinate and communicate with. She took lots of pics of Bruno and it looked like he had a good time cuddling up with Kinny. Would definitely use Kinny again on future trips. Thanks so much!!!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I was relied on to take care of them with feeding them, walking, bathing them and training them. Etc. I’m currently not working but I am a stay at home mom , So I’m able to have time to play with pets and make sure to do anything necessary to help out, I’m able to house sit, boarding, and foster.

Always lock the doors, and make sure I don't step outside without the key incase I get locked out. Providing pets with food and fresh water. Administering medication to pets according to the instructions provided by pet owners. Cleaning out litter boxes and crates. We do prefer the animal to have a crate we can put them in or we can provide one too.
About: Hi, I’m Maddy! Throughout my life I have had dogs, cats, goats, chickens, and bunnies. At 12 years old, I personally trained my Labrador retriever to work as a therapy dog. We visited schools in our area, and children with reading disabilities had the opportunity to read to her without feeling the pressure of an average classroom setting. I gained my true love for dogs through Lila. I sadly had to put her down about 6 years ago, and have moved to the city of Oakdale. I saw what amazing companions they can be, and how they deserve the very best. My husband is a local firefighter and gone a lot, so I have the flexibility and time to care for your pets as if they were my own. I also have experience as a veterinary technician, and feel fully comfortable dealing with medications or any type of medical disability. Thank you for your time and consideration! I am also a stay at home mom, so my goal is to create a lifestyle where I am able to be home with my son and have a flexible work schedule. At this time I am available 7 days a week from 6:30am-9pm. Same day bookings are available, but advanced notice is appreciated. I have two dogs at home, Sam and Enzo. Sam is a chocolate Labrador and Enzo is a mixbreed that my husband adopted a few years ago. These boys are our life. They have and will always be treated as family. I truly have a passion for animals, and you can expect the same for any animal I care for.
About: I have always been in love with animals, and so from a young age I have always been the one to help a person babysit there fur babies if needed, and what better way to spend time making money, taking care of different amazing animals. It brings me pure joy!:) I am pretty flexible and could do it any day of the week, but I prefer not to do over nights unless you are gone for long periods of time.

“As reluctant as I was to allow a stranger to come into my home, I was that much more hesitant to allow a stranger to walk my three dogs, in the end I knew I had no other choice but to hire someone due to my work schedule. While searching I came across Jef’s profile and I decided to go with him in booking dog walking for my three dogs. Jef even came to meet my dogs before he was to begin walking them the following day. From the initial message to the first time meeting, Jef maintained great communication and updated me each day after their walks. Jef definitely has something about him that made my dogs very comfortable around him. He quickly gained their trust and vice versa. Jef is also very persistent and knowledgeable in training dogs and helping to improve any bad leash habits. I will definitely be booking Jef for any future needs and I would definitely recommend him to anyone with pets.”

About: I have been owned by cats and dogs in the past. I recently transferred with my job from the East Coast to Utah, and now reside in Northern California and currently frequent the Humane Society to visit with the cats and dogs waiting for homes. Pet Sitting - I am able to walk them/feed in the mornings and after 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Thursday - Sundays more frequently. I do prefer overnight pet sitting. I am reliable, responsible and have a "knack" with most pets. I do need to know about any behavioral issues (likes to chew on things that aren't their toys for example). Do they do well with new people? I prefer not to sit pit bull terriers, but mixed breeds I don't have a problem with.

About: As an animal lover and caretaker over the past 40 years, I have experience raising dogs through all ages of life from puppies to seniors & deaf dogs, as well as cats, and farm animals. This love for animals began even before I was a high school 4-H and FFA student working with large farm animals, growing up with cats and dogs. As a pet-sitter for others, I have cared for many kinds of animals in addition to cats and dogs. I was the Dog Leader for the Murphys 4-H for 7 years and assisted the kids in training their dogs to show at the fair. While I have experience training animals, I also love to offer them tender loving care, spending quality time with them, and being their friend. It is important to me that dogs and humans both enjoy play and joy in their days, so I am happy to offer this for your pets when you cannot be there. I currently have a very open schedule, so I am most available to meet your pet care needs. Reach out to schedule a meet and greet at your convenience. When caring for pets as a sitter, I respect both your space and your pets. While I am walking others' dogs, I feel best with on-leash walks, and I will clean up after them. I also always provide animals with fresh clean water during my visits and routine caretaking. I like to keep the home and pets clean, safe, and comfortable while you are away.

About: Hey there I’m Elora :D I was raised with both cats and dogs of all sizes/ages/personalities and have been house sitting for the past 5 years as a side gig. I am new to Rover trying to expand my clientele! When pet sitting, I aim to stay as close to your dog's schedule as possible, and spend every free moment I have with your animals at home! I love walking around local parks and sending photos of our adventures! House sitting extends beyond just caring for the pets so I also bring in mail, take out trash, water plants, etc. I’m a recent college grad looking to spend my time taking care of animals, as this brings me the most joy. I don’t have any pets of my own at the moment, so rest assured your animals will be spoiled. I am available weekdays, weekends, and holidays! I have my own car providing easy and reliable transportation to your home, grooming appts, and emergency vet visits if needed. I have the utmost respect for your home and privacy. I will always leave your home looking better than how I found it. Punctuality and communication are my key pillars.
“Kinny was incredible with our dogs! She sent plenty of photos and was diligent with communicating all details of the walk! She would be my first choice next time we’re in mammoth!”

“Gina is fantastic. She truly love dogs and goes out of her way to make sure they are comfortable. Her place is wonderful and has ample fenced outdoor space with shade and trees. It's a great environment and she even sent my dog home with a toy she had grown attached to. I'd go back without hesitation.”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time playing with Sabrina's dogs while we went to our Son's wedding, she provided us with photos and videos of them playing and shaving a ball. They were happy to see us, but honestly reluctant to go. Skye wanted to stay with her new friends at the farm. We will definitely use Sabrina again and highly recommend her'. Thank you so much 😊”

“Angie was a wonderful host for our dog. She was communicative and responsive during the booking process. We’re always nervous leaving our dog with someone new, even though we have always had good experiences with Rover. Our experience with Angie did not disappoint. We received photo and story updates during the week our dog stayed with Angie and her two poodles. Upon our arrival Poppi ran right past us to continue playing in Angie’s yard. He appeared content. We loved how Angie told us a lot of stories of his visit (even the ones where he wasn’t the best behaved). Her love for animals is evident and will use Angie again when we are in need of a sitter.”
“Emily and Sean are great! We always boarded our lab at our vet when we couldn't take him with us. A friend of ours told us about Rover and then I saw Emily's posting. Both her and Sean are nice, easy dog people. But also, they were professional and super on top of caring for Bruno. I am very happy to have found them!”
“Linda was so great with our dear Moki lab/husky mix. She sent pictures and updates and I always knew our dog was in the best hands. I would use Linda's services again in a heartbeat!”
“Stella and her family took great care of my puppy during his extended stay. He became very close with her family, made friends with her dogs, and took many leisurely walks in her backyard. He had a great time and seems like he even became more easygoing and outgoing after we came home. I would highly recommend her!!”
“First and foremost Angelica was great. This was my first time having her watch my baby. She’s sent me daily updates with cute pictures attached. She took my baby to new places and tried new things with her. Thank you again ?”
“Gabby was a great sitter for my dog. I was very comfortable the whole time I was on vacation. She provided updates with photos and it was great to know that her dog is friendly and got along well with mine. Thank you!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of various breeds my whole life. My family and neighbors have relied on me to walk as well as feed and water their pets. I have a dog (Duke) and cat (Domino) of my own and am overall well experienced. I have plenty of time to take care of and hangout with your dog(s) and or cat(s)! My availability on the calendar is always updated! I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours! I have a dog who I love more than anything. I make sure he is well exercised, loved, cared for, and kept well groomed and I will make sure to do the same for yours!
“We are so happy to have found Lisette — She has great energy and is truly a great caregiver. It can be a bit nerve racking leaving our pups with someone new, but upon our first meeting, we were quickly put at ease and knew Riley and Miley would be in good hands. They warmed up to Lisette in a matter of minutes and really enjoyed their stay with her. They had a great time running around and exploring the beautiful property... the proof was in the pictures that were sent to us! This was their first visit with Lisette and definitely not their last — I’m sure Riley and Miley look forward to their next vacay with her!”
About: I’m the neighbors trusted ally when it comes to keeping everything safe. I can love on less than friendly animals with ease - and I’m known to triple check every gate and door I’ve touched. Your animals are safe with me. Old animas Grouchy animals Rescues Cats, dogs, pigs, rabbits, sheep, horses, donkeys, horses. I am currently working from home as I manage a construction project - a small cottage inclusive of a one acre pasture. I also have weeks where I am available in the Bay Area for daily check ins and walks as I frequent that area at times. In your home I’ll follow whatever instructions are left. At my home - I have a one acre pasture in the back of my home and a quarter acre of fenced yard in the front. In addition, I have a 30 ft Rv with a full size couch and bed for pets. There they can roam free or stay crated if that is your preference. I love animals so if you think your buddy needs me to stay in the rv with them over night, I can do that too. I typically keep clients pets separate from my own unless requested. I usually start the day by taking each pet out to run and play in the pasture for about an hour… and end it the same way. I started pet sitting after a friends pet was lost in a Brentwood boarding facilities fire. Realized I am a safer option as I am always present and don’t leave anyone alone for more than an hour or so.
“Danielle was great! We met up at a dog park to let our dogs meet before our vacation. And during our week long vacation she sent multiple pictures a day, which the kids absolutely loved! They loved seeing him have a good time with new friends. Danielle is very accommodating and flexible with pick up and drop off times. We are definitely saving her number for the next time we can’t bring him along with us.”
About: I have always been in love with animals, and so from a young age I have always been the one to help a person babysit there fur babies if needed, and what better way to spend time making money, taking care of different amazing animals. It brings me pure joy!:) I am pretty flexible and could do it any day of the week, but I prefer not to do over nights unless you are gone for long periods of time. I always make sure that other peoples pets are comfortable with me, and have everything that they need, and more. One on one time with the animals are also important to me as the bond clicks faster. I will always make sure everyone’s animals are 100% being taken of with only the best care! And loved!!!!
“Michele was amazing with Lira. We were sent amazing pictures of Lira being spoiled and loved on. The communication between us was spot on and everything was amazing. I definitely recommend Michele... She's amazing!”
“Chevy was so spoiled!! Kinny took him hiking 7 miles with a lot of swim time in the lake! He’s very happy & tired, which is perfect since we spent the day hiking & are completely exhausted too!! Super quick to respond & very accommodating allowing us to drop him off early! Highly recommend!! Thank you Kinny!!!”
“Alexis was kind from the moment of meeting her. She was flexible and ask many questions about needs to take care of our babies. Thank you Alexis for taking good care of our babies!”
