About: I've taken care of street dogs of my childhood neighborhood and now I'm the proud father of 2 beautiful girls. I have an affinity for dogs but cats seem to have an affinity for me 😂. I LOVE walking the dogs as it is a treat for me as well. Can't wait to meet your loved one! I'm available full time and I am ready to work with you and your schedule! I'm dedicating myself to this so I can accommodate for almost anything I have a fenced yard and 2 female dogs who are very friendly and get along with other dogs. There's a yard for them to run around and a river closeby we can walk to if you're comfortable with them getting a little wet.

“This was our first time not only using Rover but leaving our 5 month old puppy. Booking with Bridget was easy and she responded quickly. She had our little Moofasa for a weekend. We were a nervous wreck leaving our little guy but she kept in contact with us throughout his stay and shared pictures! She took him to the park and to the beach. From the pictures it looked like he had a great weekend and it made us feel better about leaving him. We would definitely book Bridget again. We had no issues with her and can't thank her enough for taking such good care of our puppy!”

“Yolanda was awesome!!! She provided my dog a mini vaca filled with lots of playtime and outdoor exploring! I highly recommend Yolanda’s services!! She was just what I expected! kt”

“Thank you for picking up and dropping off my dog, folliwing my directions, providing playcare with your puppy. I plan to request you when i next need a Rover sitter who can board un thier own home.”

About: Hi there! I'm Sarah - I live in Nevada City and work for a healthcare company (from home, so my schedule is entirely flexible). I've been a pet-sitter in various capacities for about 15 years; from staying at owner's houses to keep their furry friends safe, happy, and at ease, to daily drop-ins and dog walks - I've even had some experience with reptiles and birds! I'm new(ish) to the area (originally from Maryland, but moved to Nevada County a few months ago from San Francisco) but consider myself an active volunteer and member of this wonderful town. I love to hike, explore dog parks with my own pup, and host/attend dog playdates as much as possible. Caretaking has always been a passion of mine as a healthcare worker, but that certainly doesn't stop with humans. I can't wait to hear from you and provide your pet the best care, catered to your requests and their needs; I have ample time throughout the day to take walks, go to parks, or drop in to spend some time with your furry friend if preferred. I own a car, have a license, and can generally make myself available in any way that best suits your pet(s) needs. I don't have a yard, however, I love in a large condo with two floors, which I've often used to separate dogs and other animals if needed. I live a quick 10 minute walk from Pioneer Park, and frequent other local dog parks, so can guarantee your pal as much exercise and social time as they may need! I live with my fiance and our very gentle, medium-sized cockapoo Rigatoni; we love hikes and nature and don't host parties or leave the house for extended periods of time, so your pet will always be in a safe, caring environment, and will receive full attention in an extremely dog-friendly, clean environment. That's a smart detail to include—it reinforces your reliability and open availability! Here is a blurb you can add to your profile that explains how pet sitting fits seamlessly into your life: 📅 My Routine, Your Pet's Comfort Because I have an open and flexible schedule by design, pet care isn't a distraction—it is my daily routine. My life is structured to prioritize my dogs (and yours!), ensuring they receive consistent attention, timely walks, and fun playtime throughout the day. This means: * Consistent Care: I'm not rushing between jobs; I'm here to provide dedicated, uninterrupted care. * Easy Scheduling: My open calendar and reliable transportation make last-minute or recurring bookings easy and stress-free for you. * Peace of Mind: You can trust that your dog's schedule will be respected and maintained without interruption. You can rest assured that your pet's safety and environment are my top concern. I practice secure leash handling and am always aware of our surroundings on walks. For sitting, I ensure a safe, locked, and pet-proofed environment is maintained at all times, preventing risks and securing your home. A responsible attitude means a safe pet!

“We were gone for 2 weeks. George and Malia took great care of our girl while we were gone. They sporadically sent sweet photos and videos of our pup so we didn’t miss her too much. Highly recommend.”

Gabby F.

“Taylor took such amazing care of my puppy Midas! He is a golden retriever puppy and a lot to handle but she did such a great job. She is accommodating, easy going and cares so well for your puppy. Would recommend her to anyone!”

Emily W.

“Abbie did a great job taking care of Ella-dog. Her communication was prompt and professional and most importantly Ella-dog had a great time. 10/10 would happily recommend to anyone.”

Charles U.

“Tasha was so lovely! This was my first time leaving Rocky due to a last minute family emergency and it was a great success :) we came by for a meet and greet prior to drop off and it felt great to be so confident Rocky would be in great hands. He had so much fun, lots of activities and play time. Tasha was communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures and videos. Rocky is not great with recall so Tasha’s husband made a zip line so Rocky could easily explore as much of their property as possible! They really went above and beyond in so many ways. Thank you so much will definitely reach out to Tasha again if Rocky needs a sitter in the area!”

Emma M.

“Julie was very professional and made us feel very comfortable for leaving our dogs there. She even posted pics on Facebook so we could see them while we were away. I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone looking for a safe, friendly and professional dog sitter. Thanks Julie!!”

About: Offering a safe home away from home, compassionate care, and peace of mind for pet owners is something that all pet sitters should be offering. I go far beyond this standard providing both care and training. Since I was a child, dogs and cats have gravitated toward me and I've always enjoyed their companionship; you can almost always find me with at least one dogs around. It's never been an unruly mass of teeth and paws though; I've always taken the time to teach my furry friends to walk on leash, to have immediate recall, to be polite in kitchen, and to use their voices kindly. I do the same with every animal that I am given care of, gently coaching them to be civil, furry companions while showering them with love. I am currently working from home and set my own schedule. I have a set daily morning and evening walk which your pup(s) will join. During the day, you pup(s) will have company of two dogs, three cats and plenty of pets from me. On weekends we go on adventure hikes. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company during the day. I have crates, leashes, grooming tools and home made dog beds for all pet care needs.

About: I love dogs, I love cats, and truly all animals. I treat every pet as family, offering dependable care, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs. Mornings start with feeding, walks (if needed), and playtime. Throughout the day, I provide potty breaks, short walks, and attention. Evenings include dinner, exercise, and cuddles before a final bathroom break. Since I’m home often, your pet will get frequent companionship, and I can stick to their usual routine—whether that’s medication, training, or extra play. Weekends allow for longer adventures like park visits or extended play sessions. In My Home: I provide a pet-friendly space with scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, and cozy rest areas. Your pet gets constant attention, safe socialization (if approved), and a structured routine. I have 10+ acres of space to allow your pets to be free to have fun. In Client’s Home: I follow your pet’s normal schedule (meals, walks, meds) and keep their environment familiar. Includes updates, litter/yard cleanup, and extra cuddles to reduce stress while you’re away.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I run a 501(c)(3) dog rescue, regularly transport dogs, care for puppies, seniors, and special-needs dogs, administer medications, work on basic training, leash manners, and provide structured, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule because animals are already a central part of my daily life. I work from home and plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, medications, enrichment, and individualized care. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present for each pet. I have 2 600+ feet plus areas for dogs to run and play. We have a building for them to sleep cozy, clean and safe.

About: I have taken care of and grew up with all kinds of small, medium and large dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, birds, rodents and more. I am signing up for Rover as I just moved to town, and miss my former roomie’s doggo (Ollie the Shiba) sooo much and would love to care for your dearest animal family member. I grew up with animals and have professionally taken care of dogs as a dog walker, as a paid house and overnight dog sitter and cat sitter, and have caretaked for long periods of time friends’ and many different roommates’ dogs and houses. I love cats and puppies and kitties too!! I am experienced with all kinds of dogs, from elder dogs, to dogs w/ social issues. I love ALL animals and happy to also care for your exotic pet - lizards, geckos, snakes, rats, fish, horses (I’m not as experienced but have been around horses) etc. - I literally love all animals! I have volunteered at an exotic zoo for several months and even studied abroad in college and lived in Kenya Africa for 3 months to study wildlife management. Fun fact - I got to hold and feed a baby sloth as part of this. I have a flexible and open schedule presently as I’m new to town and am looking for work and opportunities. I am really looking to work with animals that I can continue to build a relationship with - like be your regular dog walker, or maybe you live here part-time and want support for your cat while you’re out of town. I will be teaching yoga and hoop dance, doing massage and working online on my business, so my schedule varies and I can fit in walks pretty easily. Wed afternoons and evenings I am NOT available as I am teaching classes at Pioneer Park. I am applying to other jobs though so my schedule may change in the future. I can do some weekends overnight but I also perform on weekends, so please check my schedule or message me. Just reach out - I am happy to be accomodating ☺️🙏🏽 I love going hiking and walking with dogs or adventure cats. I don’t think I’m allowed to have dogs or cats at my Studio, so sadly can’t board your animal. I am happy to come to your home, and can feed/ walk, give meds, brush, and can do other housesitting things like water plants.

About: I have a special love for caring for cats—their independent yet affectionate nature is something I deeply respect. I take the time to build trust gently, honor their boundaries, and tune into their unique personalities. Whether your cat is shy and needs a quiet presence, or social and playful, I provide attentive care that includes feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and cozy companionship. I create a calm, low-stress environment so your feline friend feels safe, seen, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care and been around cats since I was little. I’m extremely in tune with their quirks and reading what they’re okay and not okay with. I’ve had 3 of my own cats, male and female. I know how to give oral medications and injections.

“We came to Nevada City for a wedding and needed to find daycare for our dog Buckeye. Aron had wonderful revues and lots of repeat customers, so we felt good about leaving Buck with him. It was a great experience and Aron was as wonderful as his revues. We especially enjoyed receiving photos of Buck enjoying himself in the wading pool while we were at the wedding. Buckeye had a great time with Aron and his other dog charges and was a happy and tired boy when we picked him up. We highly recommend Aron.”

About: Ive grown up with dogs of all kinds. I have experience training and breeding ranch dogs in Texas and live in a forest setting on the summit giving dogs the opportunity to run free safely. Im currently working part time and am consistently home during the week and holidays. I have a very active dog of my own who gets multiple walks and play time all day. I live in an apartment surrounded by a large wooded area with no ticks or excessive bugs. We are close to highway 80 for ease of travel and have river access in the yard and a private neighborhood for safe walks.

“Tasha did an amazing job with Pico! Pico has anxiety and Tasha took extra special care of her. We met with Tasha for a meet and greet and she asked all the right questions. I felt completely comfortable leaving Pico with her. When I picked Pico up I could tell she had been well exercised. I high recomend and I would use Tasha again in the future.”

About: Hi there! I’m Barr, a wife and mother with a lifelong love for animals. We have a sweet 15-year-old Jack Russell named Indie, and I honestly can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet. Animals have always been a huge part of our family, and our compassion for them is one of the reasons we chose a vegan lifestyle. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets and supporting their health and well-being. As a mom, I’m now looking to earn a little extra income while doing something that truly matters to me—spending time with and caring for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to start doing this and would be perfect for any spontaneous short or long trips! I have a spacious backyard, but unfortunately, it’s not fenced. To keep our dog, Indie, who is incredibly friendly with all animals, safe, I usually take them for three walks each day. We shower her with cuddles and treats from my husband, our baby girl and I each and every day ☺️

About: A Lifetime of Loving Pets 🐾 I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and understanding their unique personality , routine, and needs. As a pet owner myself, I also understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind when you travel. You want to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering if they’re okay. That’s why I provide the same level of care I would want for my own pets-attentive, dependable,personalized, and genuinely loving. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your pets is in caring hands and receiving too-quality care while you’re away. You should be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, safe, and exceptionally well cared for. ❤️ I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, hands on care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s keeping their normal routine, taking dogs out for walks and playtime, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m able to be present and attentive rather than a quick visit-they get genuine companionship and consistent care throughout the day. Safety, Trust & Comfort 🐾 I take your pets safety and well-being seriously. I’m careful about following your instructions, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they’re comfortable in their environment. I believe the little things matter-secure doors and gates, keeping food and medications properly managed, being aware of your pets surroundings, and paying attention to changes in their behavior or routine. Most importantly, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I want you to feel confident knowing that while you’re away, someone responsible and attentive is looking after what matters to you most.

“Cooper told me he had a good day. 😊”

I have complete confidence in her ability to take care of my pet, and I look forward to booking with her again in the future.”

About: I grew up with a family of people and pets. I have always loved animals and always will. Often times my parents would leave the house for a get away. I am an only child so it would always be up to me to watch what was a big part of my life 2 cats and 2 dogs. It was something that was so natural to me being I grew up doing and my parents always trusted me with the duty. As of the moment I live alone with no pets and being lonely, would love to spend some quality time with a furry companion being I'm not allowed to own a pet in the apartment where I live. I have experience with both dogs and cats, small dogs, big dogs or any cat. Thanks.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was just a baby, all my family members have had puppies and doggies and can always rely on me to watch them when they’ve needed it. On days that I am not working I would love to be walking or sitting dogs! I usually go for morning and sunset walks everyday so I would be happy to have a friend join me! Also am available to watch dogs while you’re away on vacation, just not at my house because I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment. I will follow exactly how you’d like your dog to be taken care of! Just let me know how you usually do things with them and I’ll do the same, I’ve noticed it’s easier for the dogs because the are used to how their owner does things!

I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in PV. My schedule is Monday through Thursday from 8:30/9:00am to 5pm. If your pet is able to be left home while I work then perfect! Otherwise I am fully available for long weekends. :) In my own home I have reptiles and three cats and one older dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.

“We were gone for 2 weeks. George and Malia took great care of our girl while we were gone. They sporadically sent sweet photos and videos of our pup so we didn’t miss her too much. Highly recommend.”

“Abbie did a great job taking care of Ella-dog. Her communication was prompt and professional and most importantly Ella-dog had a great time. 10/10 would happily recommend to anyone.”

“Tasha was so lovely! This was my first time leaving Rocky due to a last minute family emergency and it was a great success :) we came by for a meet and greet prior to drop off and it felt great to be so confident Rocky would be in great hands. He had so much fun, lots of activities and play time. Tasha was communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures and videos. Rocky is not great with recall so Tasha’s husband made a zip line so Rocky could easily explore as much of their property as possible! They really went above and beyond in so many ways. Thank you so much will definitely reach out to Tasha again if Rocky needs a sitter in the area!”

“Julie was very professional and made us feel very comfortable for leaving our dogs there. She even posted pics on Facebook so we could see them while we were away. I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone looking for a safe, friendly and professional dog sitter. Thanks Julie!!”

About: Offering a safe home away from home, compassionate care, and peace of mind for pet owners is something that all pet sitters should be offering. I go far beyond this standard providing both care and training. Since I was a child, dogs and cats have gravitated toward me and I've always enjoyed their companionship; you can almost always find me with at least one dogs around. It's never been an unruly mass of teeth and paws though; I've always taken the time to teach my furry friends to walk on leash, to have immediate recall, to be polite in kitchen, and to use their voices kindly. I do the same with every animal that I am given care of, gently coaching them to be civil, furry companions while showering them with love. I am currently working from home and set my own schedule. I have a set daily morning and evening walk which your pup(s) will join. During the day, you pup(s) will have company of two dogs, three cats and plenty of pets from me. On weekends we go on adventure hikes. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company during the day. I have crates, leashes, grooming tools and home made dog beds for all pet care needs.

About: I love dogs, I love cats, and truly all animals. I treat every pet as family, offering dependable care, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs. Mornings start with feeding, walks (if needed), and playtime. Throughout the day, I provide potty breaks, short walks, and attention. Evenings include dinner, exercise, and cuddles before a final bathroom break. Since I’m home often, your pet will get frequent companionship, and I can stick to their usual routine—whether that’s medication, training, or extra play. Weekends allow for longer adventures like park visits or extended play sessions. In My Home: I provide a pet-friendly space with scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, and cozy rest areas. Your pet gets constant attention, safe socialization (if approved), and a structured routine. I have 10+ acres of space to allow your pets to be free to have fun. In Client’s Home: I follow your pet’s normal schedule (meals, walks, meds) and keep their environment familiar. Includes updates, litter/yard cleanup, and extra cuddles to reduce stress while you’re away.

About: Hi there! I’m Barr, a wife and mother with a lifelong love for animals. We have a sweet 15-year-old Jack Russell named Indie, and I honestly can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet. Animals have always been a huge part of our family, and our compassion for them is one of the reasons we chose a vegan lifestyle. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets and supporting their health and well-being. As a mom, I’m now looking to earn a little extra income while doing something that truly matters to me—spending time with and caring for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to start doing this and would be perfect for any spontaneous short or long trips! I have a spacious backyard, but unfortunately, it’s not fenced. To keep our dog, Indie, who is incredibly friendly with all animals, safe, I usually take them for three walks each day. We shower her with cuddles and treats from my husband, our baby girl and I each and every day ☺️

“Olena and Davyd are awesome! Great communications, great safe location for my dog “Happy” to play, rest and get some love. They are both knowledgeable dog lovers. It was quick to realize Happy was in good hands. The daily photos and videos were also welcomed. Happy loved the stay here. Thank you Olena and Davyd for taking such good care of Happy for me!”
