“Kota gets totally spoiled with love, attention, and FUN when he stays by Michelle. I know he loves going there when he can’t stop wiggling with excitement when we arrive. He is so excited to be there! Love the pics and videos we get while we are gone. Kota is a part of our family and we love seeing a sneak peek of the fun he is having. Definitely zero guilt of “leaving Kota home” when we travel when we have him stay with Michelle.”
“I will 100% leave my dogs with Sara on our future trips! She sent me pictures everyday which made me feel relaxed knowing my fur babies were in good hands! She has lots of space for the dogs to run and play so they are never bored! My dogs didn’t want to leave!! Thank you Sara!!”
“Sharon and Albert are a great Team. They are the real deal! Our 10 year old A.J. experiences anxiety when he is dropped off to Sitters. This is recent since his older Brother Gus died at age 15. Sharon and Albert are patient and very caring about everyone's Family Pet! I would recommend this Couple to love your Pet until you returned! Until next three day trip...”
“My dog stayed with Shannon for a week, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Shannon was friendly, responsive, and provided daily photo and video updates, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Shannon was also very accommodating with the pick-up time which I really appreciated. I think my dog enjoyed his little own "vacation" too!”
“Amy & Justin gave our German Shepard an incredible experience. He was well taken care of, loved, and enjoyed his time with them and their dog River. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“Two weeks with Elisabeth and my little wild child came back a well behaved dog! How does she do it? Great communication, great experience and will DEFINITELY book again!”
“Jenn and her family provided great care for my GSP. He returned smiling and ecstatic! Jenn is very experienced with dogs and has her space is well thought out to accommodate different dogs.”
“Sara was amazing! Not only was she so sweet with our doggo but she lives on an amazing property which is a dogs paradise. Her dog Shadow was such a great playmate , and we received tons of photos while we were out of town. We will definitely book with Sara again!”
“This is the first time we left our dog Ginger in the care of Ruchi and her family, and we are happy that we did. At the Meet & Greet, we were impressed with how clean their home was and how orderly they attended to their dog guests and their own dogs. When we dropped off Ginger to stay, she immediately made herself at home. Ruchi gave us updates and sent photos and videos several times a day for the entire stay. We appreciated this as it gave us peace of mind that Ginger was in good hands. We look forward to bringing Ginger back to Ruchi's home the next time we need a sitter.”
“Our first ever time using rover and it was a success thanks to Irina! Stitch had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs and I appreciated Irina sending photos to put us at ease.”
About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
“This was our first time boarding our puppy with Patti. I can’t say enough great things about her! She’s truly cares about your dog and keeps you updated with pictures. We can’t wait to use her again! Highly recommend!”
“Alicia was great, she kept us up to date the whole time. Maxine seem to do very well there. Hopefully Maxine will have the pleasure of staying again in the future. Thanks!!”
“Alesya was great with my little guy and truly made us both so comfortable with his first boarding experience! She kept me informed along the way and it’s very clear she truly cares about the pups she watches!”

Kat literally saved the day!! I felt so much better that my mom had help to make sure she gets her shots! I will be booking her again for sure! Thank you again Kat for everything.”

About: I have been in the pet food industry for three years, I used to leash train puppies, and I have been dog sitting/cat watching for three years as well. I have full availability on the weekends and have some flexibility during the week, specifically weeknights Monday through Thursday. I love doing check ins, walks, and housesitting. I respect peoples things, and appreciate when there are written instructions. I don’t do boarding because I have a Cat that does not do well in stressful environments. However, I am fine doing multiple check-in as long as it works for you and your pet.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, and no matter where I go, I always find myself surrounded by furry friends. I love staying active, and walking with a pup by my side is my favorite way to explore. I bring that same care and enthusiasm to every pet I look after. My schedule is very flexible, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Since I’m self-employed, I can adjust my day to match your pet’s needs—whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, or just making sure they have plenty of attention and companionship. In my client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect—keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. While making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and companionship
About: I grew up always having a house full of dogs, my family usually had four or five at a time. I've been enjoying life with my pug, however I would like to enjoy and take care of other dogs too! I love running, taking my dog to the park, snuggling and teaching dogs new tricks! Love dogs of all sizes and breeds! Looking to earn extra income for college, and something flexible! I have reliable transportation. I am into fitness so if your dog likes to go on runs I am down for it! I look forward to watching your dog and making their time with me the best ever! Please feel free to reach out to me thank you -Paige I currently work part time, and am always down for some exercise by taking your dog out for walks! My schedule is pretty flexible, and I am willing to work with your schedule as well! I have a fenced in 3 acre property, and I’m able to keep my dogs separate from yours if needed. I will ensure to lock your doors and put everything where it should be if I was at your house.
About: Your pups new bestie! I have had animals most of my life growing up since childhood and was raised with how to properly care for them. I also have a dog that I love so much! I thoroughly enjoy walks, runs, hikes, and playing with him. I am a big dog person! I currently work part time and am home most of the time. I’m usually home a lot as most of my work can be done from home. The flexibility is very nice and works perfectly with having dogs in our home! We currently have our own dog and so caring for yours will fit naturally into the flow we already have going! I have a fenced yard, where my pup and yours can play as much as they want! We have trails and parks near by for walks and runs, if you’d like for your pup to have exercise in those ways as well.
“This was my first time using Rover. Riley came to meet us before we left on vacation, which was reassuring. It was nice to know we were in good hands! Riley always spent time with our cat, Lexi, even when Lexi was not being the best company! Riley is dependable and was great with Lexi!”
“Kylee did a great job watching our 3 cats while we were away. She sent us pictures and kept us posted daily, which for me is a big deal. We feel relieved to have found someone like Kylee to care for our animals and will definitely hire her again.”
About: With 9 years of experience raising an elderly cat until her final peaceful days at age 17, I am eager to apply what I have learned and appreciate about cat companionship to loving cat parents in need of a helping hand. I am open to cat care of all ages, but do feel a special connection towards senior cats. Whether they prefer their own sunny, cozy spot or prefer to loudly profess their needs and desires to me, I am all in for meeting your cat's needs wherever they are. ❈ Boarding, House Sitting, or single day needs I’m available for the full range of cat-sitting services but particularly enjoy boarding. I primarily work remotely from my quiet, spacious 4-bedroom apartment, and go in-office once or twice a week for about 8 hours a day. I have a large enclosed garden and walking area if your cat enjoys outside time. My intention is to host a comfortable, attuned environment for your pet(s) alone (no pets of my own nor multiple-family sitting) lead by respect and deep listening to your cat's needs. ❈ A Helping Hand When my cat was diagnosed with dementia, I felt lost and confused. I was scared to hire a cat-sitter because of her urgent and particular needs. Years later, I have gathered an abundance of care practices surrounding cat dementia / cognitive decline, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, and old age in general. The process of listening and learning alongside my cat was enlightening, and I realized I found my calling. Caring for and helping others care for cats is my favorite thing in the world. Whether your cat needs a day of play or a stable, long-term presence, I am committed to the well-being and joy of our cat companions. ❈ Specializations: • Reading cat body language • Cat training and conditioning • Harness and leashed walk training • Administering oral medications • Managing cat cognitive decline, hyperthyroidism, and kidney disease • Crisis management (cleaning vomit, managing panic, etc. First aid training in progress) • Safe and professional vet visits where needed [Rates are flexible, particularly if we make arrangements outside of this platform]

“Michelle and Dave are amazing! I knew I had found the perfect sitters within minutes. Truly dog lovers. My three year old Pom Chi has never had day care, she loves them! I highly recommend them!”
“Michelle was great with my dog Oakley! I was so thankful she was able to take him on short notice and accommodate whatever we needed... Her house is on a large property that's fully enclosed and in a beautiful gated community in the hills. Whether you have a big dog that loves to run around and interact with other friendly animals or a small dog that prefers to spend time inside close to people, Michelle's house is an awesome place for pets! My dog has major separation anxiety, but instead of stressing out like he normally does when he knows I'm leaving him, Oakley immediately settled in and started exploring the property with one of her dogs right after we got there! I could tell from Michelle's updates and photos that Oakley was really enjoying his time there and felt comfortable he would be well taken care of if he needed to stay even longer in the future. The location of her house turned out to be really convenient and close to where I was going, but even if I'm further away the next time I'm in town and need a sitter, I know that Michelle will be our first choice for sure!”
“We came into town from the Bay Area and wanted to do some whitewater rafting that wouldn’t allow dogs. Sara was kind of enough to watch our 12 pound shih tzu. Sara asked for his vaccinations records to make sure no dog would get sick, which was very reassuring to us. We felt very comfortable leaving him there and believe he had a lot of fun at her place playing with the other dogs. Sara checked in multiple times with updates and pictures and was very accommodating when we asked to pick him up an hour later than originally discussed. If we come to the area again and need a dog sitter, we won’t hesitate to reach out to Sara. We highly recommend her!”
“First and best experience with doggy day care! Sara is amazing - so amazing Sugar acted as if I was a stranger. Sugar had so much fun she was tired and napping away when I picked her up. She was definitely showing me some attitude when leaving Sara’s; I’m sure Sugar wanted me to continue working for another 8+ hours. Sugar and I both highly recommend!”
About: I have loved animals my whole life and have had many pets; dogs, cats, horses, birds, rabbits, sheep and more. I thoroughly enjoy being with animals, loving and caring for them. Some of my first jobs were at animal clinics, where I learned a lot about caring for animals. I was in FFA as a youth, where I raised and showed sheep, and where I also learned a lot. In my younger years I had many horses. I learned how to care for them, feeding, exercising, and cleaning up after them, etc! I learned responsibility, in addition to a deep love of animals. All of my experiences with my own animals, have made me a knowledgeable, responsible and compassionate animal care provider. I am currently semi-retired from working in the hospitality industry. I have plenty of time and I would thoroughly enjoy taking care of your beloved pets. I have an adorable mini schnauzer, Dudley, and a domestic short hair cat, Pete. I love them both so much and get so much enjoyment out of having and caring for them. We love cuddling, talking, and playing. I make sure they have the food, treats, exercise and attention they desire, and are well taken care of and will treat yours with the same love and respect that I show to my own pets.
About: I have always had dogs/animals. We have 5 dogs of our own. We also foster with a local rescue. We specialize in the squish face breeds. We completely understand climate control. We love to exercise outside and go out often to romp. I am currently working remote part of the time (office days are Tues/Thurs). We typically always have someone home and the dogs are likely never alone for more than a 2-3 hour period. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play! We do not have a fenced yard, so our preference would be dogs that are not a flight risk! We can use a flexi leash for potty breaks but that would limit outside play for our guests. We live on 2.5 acres with a lot of grass to romp and play. Our dogs do not go outside unless supervised.
About: I have been a full-time puppy whelper for the past 8 years and come highly recommended with lots of references. I welcome all different breeds. I am always home. While I do have to pick up and drop off my children for their various sports and activities, it’s just a five minute drive away.I am always available. Plus, I’m attending school online from the comfort of my home. I live on 1 1/2 acres with a mini horse, two small goats that like to visit the neighbors and two potbelly pigs. Additionally I have two older French bulldogs who are house trained and very friendly, as well as two cane corsos who get along well with all animals including pony,goats, and pigs- they’re all pals! All of my animals are well-behaved , and I’ve often been told I should’ve been a vet or a dog trainer because of my love for animals. I have two separate backyards-one for the smaller dogs and one for the bigger ones. However I’m accustomed to rotating them due to my experience as a whelper. I know how to manage introducing new dogs and keeping them separate if needed.My dogs have access to indoors and outdoors, and they sleep in the house at night. I’ve set up set up my garage to be cozy and welcoming for dogs to stay in at night.
“Elaine did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my two dogs! Her communication was excellent throughout, keeping me updated with adorable pictures that showed just how much fun they were having. I could tell they were well cared for, and they came home happy and tired from all the playtime. Highly recommend Elaine for anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter! 🐶✨”
“Brittni was super responsive, accomodating, and friendly. I'm grateful for her openness to not only take my dog in for the day, but my friend's as well, last minute. Her space is big and can handle many dogs, and it felt good leaving my pup with her knowing they were with an animal lover and had plenty of space to play.”
“Alexa was wonderful with our shy pup Ollie. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. Ollie takes time to warm up to new people, and Alexa was incredibly patient and she let him come around on his own terms. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our little guy. Highly recommend Alexa!”
About: Hello! I've owned, handled, trained all types of animals pretty much my whole life. I know how it is when you can't take your pets with you. Let me help ease your mind, I promise to take wonderful care of your fur-babies! My man and I have three fantastic dogs. Bentley is an 8 year old Chihuahua Yorkie mix and Kali is a 6 year old black lab and Boo is a 2 1/2 year old terrier mix. They are the happiest, sweetest dogs and would love to interact with your pet. We have a cute home in El Dorado and a wonderful BIG fully fenced yard. Please be specific with your wants and needs and I am more then capable of taking great care of your animals! I look forward to hearing from all of you! I work from home and am constantly able and excited to be able to interact with my animals all day every day. That will be the same case if yours come to stay as well. I work from home which makes taking care of animals 1000X easier! :) I can do drop ins for around 30mins-1hr and can accommodate a lot of different requests!
“We had to find a sitter for one day for Issa, our German Shepard. We were able to drop her off early and pick her up the same day. Elisabeth made the arrangements very accommodating. Our puppy played in the water and seemed to have had great day. We would love to have her watch Issa again.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years — ever since I was 12! What started as helping friends, family, and neighbors has grown into 5 years of professional pet sitting experience. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family. I’m very active and love taking pups on long walks or hikes to keep them happy and healthy! I recently graduated from UCLA and am currently back home completing my graduate program pre-requirements. I also play for the Sierra College Women’s Basketball team, which means I’m at practice for about three hours on weekday afternoons. I’m a great fit for pups who are comfortable being alone for a few hours during that time — outside of practice, my full attention goes to caring for your dog and keeping them happy and on routine! When providing in-home care, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine and environment to reduce stress. I prioritize safety at all times and make sure your home is secure during my stay. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m happy to reinforce any training or specific care instructions you provide.
About: Im so excited to be working for you! What a treat to be able to love on your beautiful babies! I enjoy pet sitting so much because just like people, animals have their own personalities and it’s really neat for me to discover them in all the little fur friends I get to meet. I am good natured and loving and your pet will notice that right off the bat. I’m caring and compassionate and you won’t have to worry about your babies while I am there. I enjoy overnight stays because I know it’s important for them to be “at home”. It’s easy for me to feel at home wherever I go! I have a kitty and he stays home and is very content with that. He is a super friendly 15 lb MainCoon that has a very sweet personality. He’s always up for belly rubs. He does not accompany me on any of my stays or visits. I have several families that aren’t on rover that I just love so much. So their reviews aren’t on here. But if you need references, please let me know. I’m grateful for the opportunity to hang out with your fur family and know that you can rest easy knowing they are in good hands, I am open to visits and check ins or even long weekends or vacations. It would be great to come to you. Take a vacation and relax knowing your home and sweet babies are being lovingly cared for. Unfortunately I am unable to board any pets at this time. I don’t have the needed space to accommodate them. Thank you so very much!
“Shannon and her husband were amazing! They're very caring people. They also have a French bulldog which was a plus for our frenchie. When it came time to pick up our pup, she didn't want to leave. That's the best sign of a successful playdate. Anyway, we highly recommend Shannon and we will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Shannon!! :)”
“We met Irina for the first time and she watched our pup, Toby, for the day. She was super kind and communicative, and shared photos of him making friends with other dogs, which we really appreciated. Toby had a great time, and we felt totally comfortable leaving him in her care. I highly recommend her services!”

We also have a year round creek that runs through the back of our house where the dogs love playing in the water. Lots of chew toys, balls, treats and beds are included too! Your pup will sleep inside with us either on a bed, the floor, or if they are kennel trained, we can provide those as well. We provide daily texts, videos, and photos so you can have comfort knowing that your pup is safe and happy 😊 We look forward to meeting you! My husband and I work as a team and are both recently retired. We are home all day with the dogs and make sure they are happy and safe. :) We also are available for dog walking, drop in visits, and staying in your home to care for your pups during your absence. We take them all for daily walks, playtime, or just relaxing in a peaceful environment. We have two very friendly dogs they can play with or just hang out together. We feed them all two times per day unless otherwise needed. We want your fur babies to feel comfortable while you are away so we are compassionate to their needs. They all sleep indoors at night. We send daily pictures and updates on how they are doing throughout the day. Lots of love and kisses in this house!
About: People have loved my dog and other pet care for years. They know if their pets get very excited upon seeing me there is a reason. I am energetic and adjust to every pet’s activity, while being cooperative and sensitive to any health issues. The health and safety of every pet is of utmost importance to me as well as their environment. I take every precaution to protect pets from harm including potential harm from other animals. Owners know I will follow their desires and instructions to the letter to make sure their animal is always treated with the same love and attention under my care. Whether it is a 30 minute walk or an extended house and dog care weekend or vacation your pet will enjoy all of their time with my services. My rates and availability are negotiable based on each customer’s situation. Unless otherwise agreed upon my normal rates for stays within 15 miles of Diamond Springs are: $40 for 1-3 pets per night for up to a 12 hour stay (for example from 7pm on a Friday to 7am Saturday morning) $50 for 1-3 pets for 12-18 hr overnight stay $60 for 1-3 pets for an 18-24 hour overnight stay Longer distances may affect rates. We can discuss your needs at a free Meet & Greet session or feel free to contact me for a quote or other information. I manage my own schedule and my priority is spending as much time as possible pet sitting and caring for animals. I think the more the merrier which is why I include up to 3 pets in my standard rates. Each pet is given their fair share of my attention and care. I think all pets deserve as much diversity and entertainment as is recommended for their breed or type so I strive to create safe activities and an environment that keeps them stimulated and happy.
About: I have been in the pet food industry for three years, I used to leash train puppies, and I have been dog sitting/cat watching for three years as well. I have full availability on the weekends and have some flexibility during the week, specifically weeknights Monday through Thursday. I love doing check ins, walks, and housesitting. I respect peoples things, and appreciate when there are written instructions. I don’t do boarding because I have a Cat that does not do well in stressful environments. However, I am fine doing multiple check-in as long as it works for you and your pet.

“Kota gets totally spoiled with love, attention, and FUN when he stays by Michelle. I know he loves going there when he can’t stop wiggling with excitement when we arrive. He is so excited to be there! Love the pics and videos we get while we are gone. Kota is a part of our family and we love seeing a sneak peek of the fun he is having. Definitely zero guilt of “leaving Kota home” when we travel when we have him stay with Michelle.”
“I will 100% leave my dogs with Sara on our future trips! She sent me pictures everyday which made me feel relaxed knowing my fur babies were in good hands! She has lots of space for the dogs to run and play so they are never bored! My dogs didn’t want to leave!! Thank you Sara!!”

About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
“Alicia was great, she kept us up to date the whole time. Maxine seem to do very well there. Hopefully Maxine will have the pleasure of staying again in the future. Thanks!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Meghan and Peter! To say I was nervous about leaving my dog for a week is an understatement. 🫣 After talking with Meghan for 5 minutes, I was completely comfortable and knew this was the right place for Clover. She is so kind, loving, and gentle. Her communication was detailed and I received pictures, updates, and reassurances. ❤️ Clover was SO happy to have 3 doggie friends to run and sniff with! (She honestly seems a little bored now at home! 😆) Peter was very generous in accommodating our pick up time, which really was above and beyond. Needless to say, I would not hesitate to book with them again. Thank you! ☺️”
“Absolutely wonderful person and family for our pup to stay with! Amanda was great at caring for our senior pup and we appreciate knowing she was in safe hands during our trip.”
“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.”
“Amber did a great job! She stepped up and accepted Osa at the last moment. Osa was happy, and Amber ensured it was not too hot to take her out until it cooled off during a 100-degree day.”
