“I will definitely call upon Mahrukh again. I felt secure leaving my pet with her while I attended a wedding. She was professional and showed her home where Roble would stay for the day and sent me updates so I could feel at ease.”
“We were absolutely delighted and relieved to be able to book Robby and his wife for Indy’s first boarding through Rover. She’s a social girl and doesn’t like to be alone in a room by herself so we were hoping this would be the right fit. The fact that both Robby and his wife have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs also helped since we knew Indy has separation anxiety. However, we received many updates and were glad to hear she was doing so well. The last time we boarded Indy, she immediately went outside showing she was not happy with us but this time she’s happy as can be and just relaxed and slept the day she came home. We will definitely keep Robby and his wife in mind for future puppy boarding needs.”
“Robin is truly an animal whisper. She took such good care of my Daisy for a week. She was great at sending me daily updates with pictures and gave her extra snuggles. I would definitely recommend Robin and I will be using her again. She was very accommodating with our drop off times and pick up.”
“We had a wonderful experience. It was our first time leaving our puppy and she made me feel at ease with leaving him. She sent updates, photos, and videos throughout the stay. Duke threw up and shr let me know and even washed his bedding for us. We will definately bring Duke back.”
About: Starting June 19th, 2026, I will be able to provide full time pet care if that is needed for more anxious pets! ———— I have extensive knowledge of exotic animals too! A bit about me: I have loved animals since I was a kid. I was a vet assistant at a local vet hospital. After working in the field for about 5 years, I wanted to try something else and transitioned to pet sitting. With my vet experience, I can spot subtle signs of illness, can give eye drops, oral medication, and injectable medications. Working at a vet hospital also means I worked with a wide array of different dog (and cat!) breeds and temperaments. Special accommodations can be made to ensure everyone’s safety (within reason). I am familiar with the more stubborn and hard headed breeds, even owning some of them in the past. I also have basic obedience training knowledge, so I can help with puppy training. I of course love all pets, but I have a special place in my heart for senior pets! You can guarantee patient and gentle care will be provided to them. Starting June 19th, 2026 I will be doing dog walking and pet sitting full time. Therefore, I will be able to accommodate most schedules, even for the more anxious and clingy pets out there. If your pet cannot be left alone for more than 4-5 hours, an additional fee will be added to the booking. You can rest easy knowing you pet will be treated like family in the comfort of their own home. For you — I can do some light housekeeping, bring in the mail/packages, and take care of any houseplants. Boarding clients can expect a tidy house and side yard potty access. 20-30 minute walk included per day. I can provide puzzle toys and frozen kongs on hot days with owner permission. Boarding requests are taken on a case by case basis, as I have two dogs of my own. They get along well with other dogs, but I would like to see how everyone interacts with each other before agreeing to anything. Boarded pets will also need proof of vaccination. As a pet owner myself, I know it can be hard entrusting your pet, as well as your home, to someone unfamiliar. My goal is to always keep your place looking as untouched as possible, if not better than how you left it. I have pet caregiver insurance as well, for additional piece of mind. Both your home and pets are covered.
“Our dogs stayed with him for a month while we were on a trip to Europe. We were so happy to get multiple sets of pictures a day showing that our boys were happy and were well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend JD to sit your pets and we will for sure use his services again!”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! She took such great care of my dog—always by her side, making sure she was never lonely. My dog got plenty of activities, fresh air, and attention every day. She even gave her a bath before returning her, and my dog came back refreshed, fluffy, and super happy! It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
About: I have had dogs all of my life, all breeds and all ages. We are a family of 6, Mom, Dad, our 12 yr old daughter and our 3 fur babies. We dedicate our time to making them happy and live a full life. We have volunteered to foster puppies through the SPCA and pet sit for family as well. Our home is cozy with a good size backyard. All dogs would sleep indoors and have someone with them at all times since We work from home. We currently work from home so there will always be someone home with your pet. We can go for short or long walks a couple times per day and they have full access to to indoor and outdoor throughout the day. We have a fenced backyard and can separate rooms with baby gates if needed. There’s a doggy door in the garage to the backyard and two separate runners. We have a soon to be 5 yr old German shepherd, a 9 yr old rescue chihuahua and our old man a 10 yr old Shih Tzu. They are spayed/neutered and get along great with other dogs. You will have the option to have your pet sleep in the living room alongside our dogs or in a separate room.

I enjoy being outside and exercising in nature with your pet. I never leave your pet unattended, and your pet's safety is my top priority. I am careful to follow your special instruction on how to care for your pet, whether it is feeding, medication, or simply having fun.
“I enjoyed my trip knowing that Towser was happy. Tracy sent me a couple pics and he looked very pleased with himself sitting on her couch. Would recommend Tracy for your next boarding needs.”
“We had to come from out of down for a family funeral and we were lucky enough to find Julie and her family. I loved to updated texted and pictures. Our furbabies our rarely with out us but we felt that they were well taken care. We will definitely be returning customers for future visits.”
“Nicole and her family are incredible. They took the best care of our pup. We felt very comfortable being states away and knew that he was so loved. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”
“Wendy took great care of me and my husband's two cats and kept us updated the whole time! Both are indoor-only cats and them having their own room to stay in was a big deal. Their room was spacious and allowed for more than enough room for them to play and run around in and even had a nice window view. Would definitely book again in the future!!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who treats every pet like family. I’ve grown up with big dogs—especially Labrador Retrievers—so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds and understand their needs and energy levels. I currently have a 2-year-old female German Shepherd/Border Collie mix who absolutely loves other dogs, so being around pups is truly part of my everyday life. I’m used to providing plenty of attention, structure, and affection, and I make sure every dog I care for feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or just relaxing with company, I’ll meet them where they are and follow your routine closely to keep things consistent. I also make sure to give lots of cuddles and attention—because every dog deserves to feel like family while you’re away. I’m happy to send updates so you have peace of mind the whole time. I work full time from home but my job is not demanding so I typically walk dogs during the day and again after work. I have a backyard where I can let dogs out often throughout the day as well. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll have a safe (fenced yard), clean, and calm environment with lots of interaction and supervision. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs, so I always make sure introductions are safe and comfortable for everyone. I do also have a cat but they typically hide away upstairs when new pets come around :) They are very friendly with dogs.

“Thank you for your awesome updates and taking great care of our boys. Receiving photos and hearing about their time with you was an awesome part of our trip. We look forward to having you back in the near future.”
About: I’ve cared for animals for over 30 years and have loved them since I was 5, when I got my first cat. Since then, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats—puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable with all breeds and have plenty of informal pet-sitting experience through family and friends. As a remote professional, I’m home most of the day, so your pet will never feel alone. My environment is calm, playful, and full of cuddles (and walks!). I’m also comfortable administering medication and pride myself on being reliable, patient, and calm under pressure. I genuinely love being around animals—it brings me joy to care for them, walk them, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Because I work remotely, I’m home most of the day, which makes pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I start my mornings with a walk or playtime, and I take regular breaks throughout the day to give pets attention, cuddles, and outdoor time. Evenings are usually calm and cozy — perfect for a relaxing stroll or some quiet time together. My flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs, whether that’s frequent walks, meal routines, or medication schedules. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same — to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest, so their day feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space where they get plenty of cuddles, playtime, and outdoor walks. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own, keeping things tidy and peaceful while giving your pet lots of attention and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and cared for.

About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.
About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.

“I cannot begin to explain how much of a life saver Darlene was for me today!! I live in Galt and have been driving all the way to the Greenhaven/Pocket area in the mornings before work (in Elk Grove) for daycare. During our meet and greet I got to see her very well kept home and her two adorable little girls who did very well with my big excited puppy. She sent pictures of Drake romping around her yard and playing with another dog who is currently being boarded with her. She was honest with me letting me know any behaviors that she had to correct and I’m thankful that she is knowledgeable in dog behavior. I will be using her on a weekly basis... especially since my dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up! He was exhausted but was giving her kisses when I tried to tell him we were going home. Drake is happy so I’m happy.”
“Robby and his wife were excellent caretakers for my furbaby. They sent pictures of her having a fun time during the day and handled everything with ease. Your pup is in good hands with Robby!”
About: My love for dogs started early — at three years old with a dachshund named Pretzel (although toddler me called her “DoDo” because Pretzel was just too big of a word). 🐾 Since then, I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and truly adore their unique personalities. I work full-time from home, so caring for your pup fits seamlessly into my day, with walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of tail-wagging fun included.

“Velsia is fabulous! So very kind, caring & very clean. It’s been years since I’ve taken my dog to a kennel or a daycare. Velsia made me instantly feel at ease. Great experience, any questions I told her to feel free to call or text. She did send a couple cute pics taking Daisy for a walk & a nap with her blanket ❤️”

“Love love Gabe and the family. Hemmingway is so well cared for and is really part of their family. Their back yard is perfect for many dogs at one time. Separated by secure fences, an area for multiple large crates and a sprinkler and shaded patio. Easy access to the house from multiple 101 exits. Highly recommended!”
“We booked JD to watch both of our dogs for the day, and he was amazing. Our boy Rocko has anxiety and can get overwhelmed around other dogs, but JD handled him with so much patience and care. He sent us pictures within 20 minutes of dropping them off, which we really appreciated, and kept us updated with photos of Rocko sitting with the other dogs and playing. When we brought Rocko home, we could genuinely see a difference in how relaxed he was. We definitely recommend JD as a dog sitter and will absolutely be booking with him again.”
“Max had a great time at Mike’s. Mike and his wife were very communicative throughout the day. Max is a pandemic pup with some quirks but they were very patient with him and took him on a walk to ease some of his anxiety. We are very happy to have found a safe space for Max while visiting California.”

I treat your pets like how I’d like my pet to be treated.
“Stasha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Elora and Jasper. We had a big party to host, and knowing they were in her care gave us so much peace of mind. It honestly allowed us to enjoy the day instead of worrying about the pups. From the start, Stasha was warm, communicative, and incredibly reassuring. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day, which meant so much and made it clear our pups were happy and in great hands. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with so much care and attention. Elora and Jasper came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which says everything. We felt completely safe trusting Stasha with them, and that kind of trust is huge. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly invested in caring for your dogs, I cannot recommend Stasha enough. She made it possible for us to host our party without a single worry, and that was priceless. We would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat. 🐾”

I live in an apartment building with my two cats and dogs, I take me dogs on walks every other day and take them out to the bathroom every 2 hours, one of my dogs is blind and needs extra care and patience when walking and one of my cats wears diapers as she has continence issues, I am able to and can take care of other animals with these issues as well. Two of my relatives are active and past veterinarians and can offer active help and advice if needed.
About: Ive been an animal lover since I was little, Ive had all types of animals growing up and absolutely love caring for all pets. My roommates travel often and I take care of their senior dog Riley, he is deaf and blind so he needs a lot of extra TLC. I am local to south salinas, I have my own business and make my own schedule. I have my office 3 mins away from home so have the flexibility. Commutation is the most important thing for me, making sure you have updates about your pet and making sure they feel safe and protected weather it’s on a walk or home sitting.
About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.
About: I provide calm, reliable pet care with lots of communication and photo updates so owners can relax while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and enjoy keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m active, flexible with scheduling, and comfortable with walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, medications, and overnight care. Whether your pet loves long walks or just wants a calm companion, I try to match their personality and needs. I know how important trust and consistency are when someone is caring for your pet, so I focus on being responsive, dependable, and detail-oriented. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks so they can stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, daycare, and house sitting, depending on scheduling availability, and I make communication a priority by providing regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs to help reduce stress and keep pets comfortable. I believe trust and communication are extremely important, so I provide regular updates and photos throughout each stay or visit. I also take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and any special instructions ahead of time so I can provide attentive, reliable care. Whether during walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, I treat every pup like family. I specialize in both puppy training and gentle senior care, giving each dog the personalized attention they need. Whether it’s sticking to special diets, administering medication, or keeping routines consistent, I go above and beyond to make dogs feel at home and owners feel at ease. Dogs are part of my everyday life — my schedule naturally revolves around walks, feeding times, play sessions, and quiet rest breaks. I make sure every pup gets a balance of exercise, affection, and downtime, so they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed while in my care. In my home, dogs enjoy a safe, clean, and cozy environment with supervised play, comfy resting areas, and plenty of love. I maintain their usual routines, offer outdoor breaks and walks, and give each dog personalized care based on their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their household rules closely and treat every space and pet as if they were my own.

“I will definitely call upon Mahrukh again. I felt secure leaving my pet with her while I attended a wedding. She was professional and showed her home where Roble would stay for the day and sent me updates so I could feel at ease.”
“We were absolutely delighted and relieved to be able to book Robby and his wife for Indy’s first boarding through Rover. She’s a social girl and doesn’t like to be alone in a room by herself so we were hoping this would be the right fit. The fact that both Robby and his wife have a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs also helped since we knew Indy has separation anxiety. However, we received many updates and were glad to hear she was doing so well. The last time we boarded Indy, she immediately went outside showing she was not happy with us but this time she’s happy as can be and just relaxed and slept the day she came home. We will definitely keep Robby and his wife in mind for future puppy boarding needs.”
“We had a wonderful experience. It was our first time leaving our puppy and she made me feel at ease with leaving him. She sent updates, photos, and videos throughout the stay. Duke threw up and shr let me know and even washed his bedding for us. We will definately bring Duke back.”
“Our dogs stayed with him for a month while we were on a trip to Europe. We were so happy to get multiple sets of pictures a day showing that our boys were happy and were well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend JD to sit your pets and we will for sure use his services again!”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! She took such great care of my dog—always by her side, making sure she was never lonely. My dog got plenty of activities, fresh air, and attention every day. She even gave her a bath before returning her, and my dog came back refreshed, fluffy, and super happy! It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
About: I have had dogs all of my life, all breeds and all ages. We are a family of 6, Mom, Dad, our 12 yr old daughter and our 3 fur babies. We dedicate our time to making them happy and live a full life. We have volunteered to foster puppies through the SPCA and pet sit for family as well. Our home is cozy with a good size backyard. All dogs would sleep indoors and have someone with them at all times since We work from home. We currently work from home so there will always be someone home with your pet. We can go for short or long walks a couple times per day and they have full access to to indoor and outdoor throughout the day. We have a fenced backyard and can separate rooms with baby gates if needed. There’s a doggy door in the garage to the backyard and two separate runners. We have a soon to be 5 yr old German shepherd, a 9 yr old rescue chihuahua and our old man a 10 yr old Shih Tzu. They are spayed/neutered and get along great with other dogs. You will have the option to have your pet sleep in the living room alongside our dogs or in a separate room.
“I enjoyed my trip knowing that Towser was happy. Tracy sent me a couple pics and he looked very pleased with himself sitting on her couch. Would recommend Tracy for your next boarding needs.”
“Nicole and her family are incredible. They took the best care of our pup. We felt very comfortable being states away and knew that he was so loved. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you!”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who treats every pet like family. I’ve grown up with big dogs—especially Labrador Retrievers—so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds and understand their needs and energy levels. I currently have a 2-year-old female German Shepherd/Border Collie mix who absolutely loves other dogs, so being around pups is truly part of my everyday life. I’m used to providing plenty of attention, structure, and affection, and I make sure every dog I care for feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or just relaxing with company, I’ll meet them where they are and follow your routine closely to keep things consistent. I also make sure to give lots of cuddles and attention—because every dog deserves to feel like family while you’re away. I’m happy to send updates so you have peace of mind the whole time. I work full time from home but my job is not demanding so I typically walk dogs during the day and again after work. I have a backyard where I can let dogs out often throughout the day as well. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They’ll have a safe (fenced yard), clean, and calm environment with lots of interaction and supervision. My dog is very friendly and loves other dogs, so I always make sure introductions are safe and comfortable for everyone. I do also have a cat but they typically hide away upstairs when new pets come around :) They are very friendly with dogs.
“Another great stay with Petra and her family! We couldn’t be happier with the experience overall! Communication was easy. Flexibility was truly appreciated. Daily updates were reassuring! And we know the girls were comfortable and happy! Thank you!!”
““Jennifer took excellent care of our dog while we were away. He can be a bit timid around strangers, but he warmed up to her quickly. She sent lots of photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated, and he even made a new friend!”
“Such an amazing and pleasurable experience. I have a 10-year-old male German Shepherd that has hip problems. They're very accommodating and have given me updates regarding his status. Gabriel has been a dog trainer for decades. He knows dogs. He knows what they need and how to take care of them. I live about 25 miiles away from them, and even having closer options, I wouldn't have it any other way. I trust my boy's well-being in their hands, and I'd like to have that peace of mind knowing that he will be okay.”
“Nathaly is an amazing provider on Rover. I have been hesitant to reuse rover as I previously had a bad experience. I am so grateful for her. She has a fantastic large yard set up for the dogs. She gives wonderful attention to the animals in her care. She also went above and beyond for me and my family when we had a travel emergency that prevented us from being on time and then ultimately required a last-minute request for another overnight stay. I highly recommend Nathaly.”
