“Michelle's an amazing caregiver for Max. She was extremely caring towards my german shepherd senior doggo. She was also flexible with my dropoff and pickup times and dates. She will be our go to caregiver for Max from here on out. Highly recommend her.”

“Our baby who is just 4 months old, untrained and not socialized stayed with Sharon for a week. Sharon and Albert did an amazing job of taking care of her and working with her. She came home trained in many areas ? Thank you Sharon and Albert!!”

“Lisette was great. We know our five months old is a handful, she took both dogs out to walk often and they were happy and comfortable in the new environment when we came to pick them up. Thank you Lisette.”

“Yet another 10/10 experience with having Sara watch my big, rambunctious pup! Great communication, attention to detail, and tons of fun and engaging activities with my guy, who returned home very happy and tired from all of the good play time. Sara is definitely my go-to going forward!”

“They have been a great resource for caring for our pup for boarding and day care. Very nice people and very communicative. We feel super comfortable that they are taking the very best care of our dog.”

“Cameron did a great job with Yogi! He communicated well and sent pictures with updates. He asked questions about Yogi's needs and what to expect as far as his behaviour. He gave Yogi a few hours to decompress before being introduced to the other dogs in the home. Very professional and mindful...would definitely bring Yogi back and highly recommend Cameron!”


“Melissa took great care of our goldendoodle while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how she was doing. She has so much space for her to run and play. Thank you Melissa!”

“Walee took care of our 6 month old puppy, Miski. We are very thankful for her kind and loving attitude. Walee went above and beyond! She kept us informed with texts and photos; she made Miski feel like she was part of their family and even took her to the dog park!. Walee's dog, Ike, is adorable and super playful. Ike and Miski became great friends. We think Miski is missing Ike a bit. Her other dog, Suchi is a loving senior citizen who wasn't up to the energetic playfulness of Ike and Miski. Walee has a large property, dogs can roam and run, but also she brings them inside and spoils them with couch time. First class service. Thanks!”

“My dog was well cared for by Jen. She is experienced and understood what he needed. When I returned he was relaxed and playful. When I came to the door I could see him walking freely in the family room. He looked happy. I am grateful for the good care he received. Teresa”

“Nala had another great stay with Amy and Justin! We are so happy we’ve found someone who provides a nurturing home away from home for our pup when we are away. Nala seems so happy when she stays with them and is well cared for. I highly recommend Amy and Justin!”

“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”

“Great experience! Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We’d definitely book again!”


“I would give more stars if I could! Patti and Joe are wonderful and so caring. We received pictures and videos every day of our sweet girl. They went for walks every day and lots of playtime with their dog Buttons.”

“We had an amazing experience with Siyao! The communication was outstanding; we received timely videos and updates every few hours. It was clear our pup was getting plenty of attention and affection. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals made us feel completely confident leaving our pup with her. We'll be repeat clients for sure!"”

“Teri was fantastic! She went above and beyond trying to coax our timid cat out from under the bed. Everything was well taken care of and very timely. She was on top of everything and responded to communications very promptly. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”

About: I have personal experience taking care of small, medium, and large size dog breeds and understand the different needs that come along with different dogs. I am adamant about following pet routines to include walking, feeding, reinforcing house rules and play time. Pets have always been an integral part of my family life and I believe that they deserve all the love and attention that we have to give. I have been lucky to have known two special dogs of my own who have since passed, Maddy was a large ball of energy that enjoyed running, tug of war, and lots of belly rubs, and Woofy who was an old soul that enjoyed snuggles and gentle head scratches. As Woofy aged he developed diabetes and a host of other medical needs (including a wheelchair) so I am familiar with injections and medication regimes for special needs dogs. Now a golden retriever named Asa is my furry companion for hiking, swimming, and general adventure. I work close to home during the day but I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. My time outside out working hours is flexible to fit a variety of needs. I am diligent about checking instructions and making sure the environment is safe. I am happy to provide photos and any needed updates on how your pet is doing.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of my attention to detail, love for animals, and a true commitment to providing top-notch care—no matter how big or small the task. I have experience administering medications, monitoring pets with special needs, and ensuring that every part of their environment stays clean and safe (yes, that includes a genuine passion for deep-cleaning litter boxes!).

About: While we only have barn cats of our own at this time, we love cats too. We can accommodate indoor cat care. We have crates and ability to have a litter box. They are also welcome to free roam.

About: I am super kind, caring, and respectful of all animals! I will make sure your pet is comfortable and has all of the necessary things needed for a fun, relaxing and safe environment. I have a lot of experience with my own pets as well as taking care of friends and family pets. As a retired elementary school teacher, I have a ton of patience and will take the time to do everything I can to make your pet comfortable and happy : ) I have also taken care of many of my students' pets and homes over the years. I love to help out! I look forward to meeting you and your pet family. I am retired, so pet sitting is perfect! I am wide open for dates to help assist you with your fur babies! Hope to meet you soon! Any pet is welcomed into my home! They can sit/lay anywhere that is comfortable. I will always be with them, and make sure they have what they need to be happy!
About: I adore animals. I have two dogs of my own that I love more than life. I can provide dog sit anywhere that works best for you! I am currently working a part-time job so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy playing with pets to encourage their mental health along with physical health. I will report any concerning issues and will go on walks as scheduled

About: I've taken care of cats since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, family, and friends have all entrusted me with their Cats and also ask for advice on their care. Every Cat is different and every Cat parent has different preferences that I fully respect.

About: I have owned cats since I was a kid and learned they all have unique personalities whether they're playing or just interacting. I've cared for both ferral and house cats in animal shelters and vet clinics, assisting vets with surgeries, medications, and proper aftercare or treatment for an illness. I've been grooming cats for over 5 years so I can help with any grooming needs as well. I've also sitted for many friends and some people on Rover, caring for kittens, disabled, and elderly cats.

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.
“Sara is the absolute best. Thank you for making Harleys stays with you so enjoyable. We will continue to use her services without a doubt. One of the best you’ll find on Rover! ❤️”

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. Our home is completely fenced and sits on 3 acres. We have two friendly german shepherds. 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.
“Our dog immediately liked Cameron. We were worried how he would do because we've rarely gotten sitters for him but he had a great time and Cameron was very professional and knew how to handle our dogs quirks. We'd definitely leave Coltrane with him again!.”

“Elaine, treated Cruz like one of her own. She gave her lots of love and attention. Cruz had such a great time with her and her pups that she didn’t want to leave each day, and was ecstatic going back each morning. Elaine provided us with great pics and detailed updates. So thankful to know that Cruz had a wonderful week of daycare with her!!”


“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!! :)”

“Alexa provided such a wonderful Rover experience. She's a great communicator, very attuned to a pet's care instructions, and I came back to find my pup so relaxed and happy with her. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with her, thank you Alexa!”

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 love cats and dogs and will make sure they get lots of attention and that their area is kept clean and tidy so you come home to a nice place! I have 4 cats and 2 dogs so very familiar with what to do. Happy to take care of yours or take your pups on a nice walk😊 I work from my phone so can essentially do anything or be anywhere as needed. Works out perfectly for me to go and take care of pets! I will make sure your pets have attention and that their area and the house or apartment is well taken care of and kept clean
About: I've always had personal pets and have been the designated petsitter for my neighborhood since I was a child. I've spent the last decade professionally training & boarding all types of dogs, cats, farm animals and falconry birds. I'm currently open and available all days of the week. My life is my dogs/family and there is always room for more furry (& feathery, scaley, ect) friends. 💜 I have a fenced garden area and 3 dogs at home who are crate trained. I can accommodate most requests and love a schedule & routine, whether in my home or in yours.
“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.”

“Sharon and Henry are great dog sitters! I really felt my dog was cared for and they sent frequent updates. Their dog is a sweetie that behaves well around other dogs. My dog came home both days exhausted from playing all day. I would absolutely recommend them and will reach out to them again in the future!”


About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was my childhood cat, who I got when I was 2 years old and who lived with me for 17 wonderful years before crossing the rainbow bridge. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and a passion for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. I currently have two Dobermans and a kitty of my own. I recently moved to a 2 acre property, which has been amazing for training and working with my dogs, they’re truly thriving with the space and lifestyle they deserve. To me, pets are family, and I always strive to give them the best care, attention, and love possible. I’ve also rescued and fostered kittens in need, helping them find safe and loving forever homes. Caring for animals genuinely brings me happiness, and having them in my life has always been incredibly fulfilling. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I already care for my own animals every day. At my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also have spacious fenced in kennels available if needed for safety, rest time, or individual comfort. Pets are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and cared for in a clean, calm environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines, instructions, and house rules to help pets feel comfortable and stress free in their familiar environment. I like to check in with pet parents often, sending pictures and updates to give them peace of mind while their pets are in my care.

“Chelsea is great! She responds quickly, shows up on time, is flexible, and has worked with me to address my dog’s needs. My dog takes a while to warm up to people, but she felt comfortable with Chelsea almost immediately and I did as well. If you are in the Jackson area I highly recommend Chelsea as a dog walker.”

I have my bachelors in child development and am almost done with my master in social work! I’m a social worker by profession, so compassion, patience, and keeping others safe and cared for is part of who I am. I work from home most days, which means I have plenty of love to give to your pets. Honestly, I’m just looking to add more animal joy into my daily life!

“Hi my name is Corbin. I'm an 11 year old border collie "puppy that needs a lot of exercise. My mom found me a new friend - Dakota - who comes and takes me for walks and to the dog park for work outs. I'm kind of afraid of new people, but after a few minutes I knew I was going to like Dakota. He is very kind and patient with me. My mom tells me when Dakota is about to arrive. He has been reliable and on time which is very important to me as I'm not very good at waiting. My mom is really happy because each time Dakota takes me out, I come back happy and very well exercised! Thank you Dakota! Corbin (and his mom, Mary)”
About: I grew up in a home filled with animals, so caring for furry family members has always come naturally to me. During the 7+ years I lived in Philadelphia, I taught at a large charter school and began house and pet sitting on the side for fellow teachers and staff. Over the years, I had the privilege of caring for so many sweet furry babies, including pets who needed extra attention, medication, and around-the-clock care. I truly grew attached to many of them and missed them dearly when my Philly chapter came to a close in 2024. Today, I proudly call Sacramento home and am excited to share that same love and care with a new community of pet friends! I’m a firm believer that animals can see and feel the energy of humans in ways we sometimes cannot. I lead with warmth, patience, attentiveness, and genuinely good energy…and animals tend to pick up on that pretty quickly. I’ve yet to meet a furry friend who didn’t eventually warm up to me. 😊 I’m especially comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra support, including administering medications, following detailed routines, and providing consistent care throughout the day or night. I work best with thoughtful pet parents who deeply care for their animals, their homes, and the energy within both. When you book with me, you can expect plenty of LOVE, communication, respect for your space, and most importantly…ACCOUNTABILITY. 💛 I work remotely and have plenty of time to share with your furry family members. I love nature and take many walks/hikes as a form of self care. I’m sure we can work just about anything out—flexibility is our middle name😉.” Interactive pup toys to keep them engaged (i.e Kongs, Hide&Seek Treats) My energy can be extremely high most times so playtime is always a thing both indoors and out!! On a chill day/evening you’ll find my toddler (if approved) and I cuddled up or sprawled out on the floor with your fur babies vibing.🕯️
About: I've had a love and passion for animals since I was a child. I adopted my first pet in 2014. A beautiful female Queensland Heeler and American Pitbull mix named Sadie. She has been my service animal for over 5 years. I began my pet care career as a pet shelter assistant. A few years later, I became a Grooming Salon Assistant and have been grooming every since. I have knowledge of most breeds and am comfortable working with any sized dog, any temperament. I have also worked as a Kennel Assistant in a Veterinary office. I learned the in and outs of boarding, administering medications, and making sure all pets get adequate care. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I'm currently working part time but need extra money as I don't have enough hours. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work out overnight stays. While caring for pets, I greet them and make sure they're comfortable with me. I like to offer treats and take the time to have them trust in me. I ensure all food bowls and water bowls are filled. I take them out for potty and walks every 2-4 hours. I ensure they get adequate play time, whether inside or outside. Give them lots of love and attention ☺️ All while abiding by your care rules, ie training, medications, etc.

“Michelle's an amazing caregiver for Max. She was extremely caring towards my german shepherd senior doggo. She was also flexible with my dropoff and pickup times and dates. She will be our go to caregiver for Max from here on out. Highly recommend her.”

“Our baby who is just 4 months old, untrained and not socialized stayed with Sharon for a week. Sharon and Albert did an amazing job of taking care of her and working with her. She came home trained in many areas ? Thank you Sharon and Albert!!”

“Lisette was great. We know our five months old is a handful, she took both dogs out to walk often and they were happy and comfortable in the new environment when we came to pick them up. Thank you Lisette.”

“Yet another 10/10 experience with having Sara watch my big, rambunctious pup! Great communication, attention to detail, and tons of fun and engaging activities with my guy, who returned home very happy and tired from all of the good play time. Sara is definitely my go-to going forward!”

“They have been a great resource for caring for our pup for boarding and day care. Very nice people and very communicative. We feel super comfortable that they are taking the very best care of our dog.”

“Cameron did a great job with Yogi! He communicated well and sent pictures with updates. He asked questions about Yogi's needs and what to expect as far as his behaviour. He gave Yogi a few hours to decompress before being introduced to the other dogs in the home. Very professional and mindful...would definitely bring Yogi back and highly recommend Cameron!”


“Melissa took great care of our goldendoodle while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how she was doing. She has so much space for her to run and play. Thank you Melissa!”

“Walee took care of our 6 month old puppy, Miski. We are very thankful for her kind and loving attitude. Walee went above and beyond! She kept us informed with texts and photos; she made Miski feel like she was part of their family and even took her to the dog park!. Walee's dog, Ike, is adorable and super playful. Ike and Miski became great friends. We think Miski is missing Ike a bit. Her other dog, Suchi is a loving senior citizen who wasn't up to the energetic playfulness of Ike and Miski. Walee has a large property, dogs can roam and run, but also she brings them inside and spoils them with couch time. First class service. Thanks!”

“My dog was well cared for by Jen. She is experienced and understood what he needed. When I returned he was relaxed and playful. When I came to the door I could see him walking freely in the family room. He looked happy. I am grateful for the good care he received. Teresa”

“Nala had another great stay with Amy and Justin! We are so happy we’ve found someone who provides a nurturing home away from home for our pup when we are away. Nala seems so happy when she stays with them and is well cared for. I highly recommend Amy and Justin!”

“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”

“Great experience! Our dog was well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable. Communication was easy, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We’d definitely book again!”

“We had an amazing experience with Siyao! The communication was outstanding; we received timely videos and updates every few hours. It was clear our pup was getting plenty of attention and affection. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals made us feel completely confident leaving our pup with her. We'll be repeat clients for sure!"”

About: Over 30 years of pet care experience! I’m the type of person that stops by the side of the road to save a lost animal. My dog is a swimmer, not a walker! I work from home, but have a very flexible schedule. Definitely looking for a morning walker and am open for home drop ins otherwise. Safety is key, it is summer right now so pets should be indoors most the day. Early morning or late evening walks are best. Check the ground temperature and do not walk your dogs when its hot!
