“Thank you Reginay for caring for Queenie. She had a great time and I knew she was in the best hands. Lots of walks and play time. Pics and prompt communication. Appreciate it!”
“Irina was amazing throughout the whole process, from booking to pickup! She responded very quickly, and provided video updates every day. This was my first time booking on Rover, and she made me very comfortable with the whole process. Highly recommend her!”
“He seemed so happy there and he came back home to his usual routine with no issues (when we have boarded him with petsmart etc. there has always been an adjust period). Got some feedback on some things we can work on at home too. Thank you!”
“We loved the care and treatment Angie got from Brandee. Brandee kept us informed about her well being and sent us pictures and videos. Will use her services again.”
“Michelle and Craig were wonderful taking care of our two dogs. Craig was so kind and scheduled an alarm in the middle of the night so that our elderly dog Suzy wouldn’t have to use a pad to relieve herself. What great care they took of our pups! Highly recommended”
“Absolutely amazing! She took great care of our pup and sent pics of him playing and having a good time. She played a lot with him and made sure he had a great stay”
“Annie was great with my nervous dog. Annie responded quickly to my messages as we prepared for my dog's stay with her, and sent me pictures while my dog was in her care.”
“Marilee took great care of our babies while we were on vacation! She sent daily updates with photos and videos, and our pups were cuddled up with them in so many so we knew they were feeling loved!”
“Roy had so much fun with all the other pups! They were amazing with communicating and being flexible! I appreciate y'all so much and will definitely be booking with you again! It’s such a relief to be able to leave my fur baby with reliable people!!”
“I think the most important thing about pet sitting service is if the sitter can provide a peace of mind to the owners when they are away. And you did exactly that! We truly appreciate you and all you did for the dogs.”
“Achara has been amazing. We’ve used her 3 times now and every single experience has been great. She sends us pictures every day of our pup playing in the backyard with her dogs, which gives us a ton of peace of mind when we’re away. The biggest sign of all is that every time he sees her, he gets so excited he literally pees himself. He absolutely loves her, and it’s obvious she takes great care of him. Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Martha was great with Bagel during his 5 night stay. He loved playing with her dog Benji's toys and had so kuch fun. I could tell from the pictures that she shared. I would definitely book Martha again. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Even tho I am new to the rover app I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends and family for about 7 years now . I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal.

I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I am mostly available Monday / Thursday after 6 pm , and fully available Friday / Sunday for boarding or drop ins , but could most definitely accommodate different times I currently don’t have any puppy’s of my own . I have a fenced yard for your puppy to play and explore and I also live blocks away from 2 separate parks where we could go on walks

“Hana was wonderful with Lucy and Oreo! She treated them like her own, giving them so much attention, keeping them so clean, and showing them so much love-not to mention I got so many pictures each day, making me so reassured!”
“Tammi was so great with our dog, Daisy. I felt confident that Daisy was safe and loved while we were on vacation.

“It was our first time using Rover and I was a little nervous. Michael eased my mind and I knew Cooper would be in great hands. From the meet n greet I knew Michael was going to give my boy plenty of attention and then once we dropped him off I saw them on a walk right away. I got plenty of updates of them on walks and pictures of him on their adventures and him pooped out afterwards. Cooper enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be booking a stay with Michael again!”

“Ana is amazing! She is meticulous, goes above and beyond, and truly allows me to enjoy my vacation knowing she’s taking care of my cats. She adores all of my pets and they adore her. The only downside of having Ana watch my cats is they barely miss me while I’m gone 😊 10/10!”
“Emily is awesome and took amazing care of my cats! I came home to happy cats and no poopy surprises in weird places from one of the cats like I’ve been having lately. And Emily was willing to check for those surprises during her visits.”

“Vahid took excellent care of our furry kids while we were away. He communicated with us regularly, took plenty of pictures, and was very respectful of our home. It was such a relief to come home knowing our boys were well taken care of. We will definitely check with him next time we have a need for someone to check in on our kids. Thank you so much!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and I currently have two large (70+ lb) dogs. I grew up with small to medium dogs and before my current pups, I dog/cat sat all manner of dogs and cats from friends and family. I am very detail oriented and attentive when providing care for pets in addition to have a calming presence that pets quickly grow fond of. I have experience with crate training, leash training and giving oral and topical medication. I have created extensive care documents for my own dogs and am happy to follow as many instructions for your pets. I have immense flexibility to check in on, walk and house sit your pets throughout the weekdays currently and for weekends, I would review requests on a case by case basis. I'm happy to visit your pets and help with feeding, walking or any other specific care you need while you're away. I really enjoy playing with dogs, especially if they like fetch! I enjoy really long walks and can even run with your dogs if your dog needs more exercise. Otherwise, I'm happy to cozy up with your pet and I can even stay overnight if needed.
“Erika was absolutely wonderful and accommodating! I would highly recommend her for any nervous pet parents (like us) in the Sacramento area. I loved her status updates and the cats warmed up to her quickly :)”
“Dustin is wonderful. I often need to make last minute plans. Dustin always quickly responds to out request to let us know his availability. Our dog, Hank, is aging and Dustin takes such good care of him. I never need to worry as Dustin is 100% reliable. I highly recommend Dustin as he is the best of the best”
“We have a feisty old kitty who is very hard to medicate. Andee has been more successful with medicating her than any other pet sitter we have tried! We are very grateful for Andee’s excellent animal care skills.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I have my own cat, Button, whom I love dearly and have taken care of pets for my friends lately. I am in between jobs so I am free to work with whatever schedule you have. If you have leftover food that needs to be used, I’d be happy to not let them go to waste. I prefer to care for your pets in their home territory. I am very easy going and happy to follow any instructions you have for me.
“Joining Rover and meeting Audrey has changed our life. We struggle to find someone consistent to come into our home feed our fish and bring the mail in. Audrey was amazing. She arrived when she said she would. She took the best photos ever and kept us updated and in communication along the way. She even went above and beyond; watering some plants, bringing in the mail, bringing in the packages, feeding the outside birds and communicating on fish tank water levels. I highly recommend Audrey and we will definitely be using her every time we go on vacation from here forward. She was so sweet. She even left us a goodie care package that we received when we got home.”
About: I absolutely LOVE animals and have been caring for them for as long as I remember. My experience with pet sitting and dog walking has taught me how to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. I understand how important it is to provide reliable care and make sure pets feel safe and happy. This passion and experience make me confident that I can bring the same dedication and care to the role of a paid canvasser, where connecting with people and showing genuine commitment is key. I’m currently a college student, but I can easily fit pet care into my daily schedule and remain flexible to accommodate different needs. I’m reliable and committed to providing the best care possible, making sure pets get the attention and love they deserve no matter how busy things get. When caring for pets in a clients home I am very big on respecting the space i’m working in, while also doing my best to provide adequate care to the pet.
“Best sitter! So glad I found her, she’s great with my two cats, and I can tell. She really cares about her job, and showing love to my pets. Highly recommend.”
“Michelle is amazing and goes above and beyond! She is thorough, caring and consistent! Extremely pleased and all the babies were happy campers as well!!! Thank you so much!”
“Jazmin was so amazing!!! Truly incredible person with so much care for my sweet girl! Took her time coming to meet her beforehand and even fed a churu. I felt immediately comfortable with leaving the keys with her knowing she would be taking great care of her! No hesitation to book you again Jazmin and recommend you to everyone. Thank you!!”
“Natalie was great! She was friendly and came to meet my two cats in advance. She made sure they had their food, scooped the litter boxes, and gave one cat the medicine he needed. She stayed and played with them a bit and cleaned up an accident they had on one of our carpets. Natalie was always on time and sent videos and thorough updates. Will definitely book her again for our next trip.”

“Reginay has been SOOO unbelievably accommodating with my crazy schedule; she lets me work out unusual drop off/pick up times, lets me schedule last minute whenever I need it (when she’s open), and is just incredibly communicative. My dog, Penny, just loves her. She recognizes Reginay’s place when we pull up and is physically and audibly thrilled to see her every time!”
“I found Marcie on Rover and she responded quickly on such short notice. I contacted her on a Friday and she was able to accommodate our pit bull Jada the next day. Marcie was courteous enough to provide photos of Jada while at the dog park. Jada looked like she enjoyed her time with Marcie. We look forward to using Marcie again in the future.”
“Frankee come home happy and tired! Annie was kind and responsive and available for a last minute request. There were other dogs at Annie’s house so Frankee had plenty of opportunities for play.”
“If you're looking for great customer service and good animal care experience ... Amanda's your gal. She listened to my needs, over-delivered and was super communicative with me during Crawford's stay at her home. It was my first time with a dog sitter (& I knew I could trust Rover, because I'm a Rover sitter & know they do a background check) ... but I was still nervous. My dog is 5 months young and although well-adjusted & potty trained, is very vulnerable. She was sensitive to this; I left him with her feeling i could trust her 100% ... I received photos and updates the entire time I was away. Highly recommend.”
“Katherine was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Vigo. She is clearly very experienced and comfortable with all different kinds of dogs, which immediately put us at ease. We felt completely confident leaving Vigo with her for two consecutive days while we visited Sacramento. Katherine has an excellent system for thoughtfully and safely socializing dogs, and it was clear that Vigo felt comfortable with her and engaged right away. Our dog has A LOT of energy and loves to run and play, and he was genuinely happy and very content when we picked him up both days. We couldn’t have been happier with the care Vigo received. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone with dogs of any breed or temperament. We wish she lived closer to us for regular stays but will absolutely go back to her any time we’re in the area.”
“My dog had such a great time with Debra! I can tell my girl was very calm and happy when I picked her up. Debra even waited outside in the rain to make sure I could find her house when I dropped her off. It was good to know I had someone experienced to watch my dog.”
“Irina was super easy to work with and very flexible on drop off and pick up times. She took great care of my dog Mable, and sent frequent updates. Will definitely book again!”
“I really appreciate that Nelly will socialize my pup with her dogs and cats, and other clients pets…all while managing them to make sure they’re safe and happy. I feel really comfortable with my pet at Nelly’s.”

“Vahid took exceptional care of Rue and Reo over five days. He provided plenty of photos and constant updates, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He was very attentive to their well-being and even let me know when the weather was too hot for them to safely walk, showing great judgment and care. Beyond the walks, Vahid spent time playing with the dogs and making sure they were happy and engaged. It was clear from the photos and updates that Rue and Reo genuinely loved spending time with him. His communication, reliability, and genuine affection for the dogs made the experience outstanding. I would highly recommend Vahid to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and attentive dog walker.”
“Milagros is an excellent companion and walker for my dog Rex. Rex needs a walker who stays alert to his surroundings and is able to anticipate situations which might cause problems. Milagros handles all of Rex's anxieties and redirects when needed. Rex comes home happy and relaxed. Milagros walks Rex 5 days a week while I recover from a broken leg. She is on time, communicates well, and enjoys Rex. I trust her completely and am grateful to have found Milagros to help out for the next couple of months.”

About: I’m here for my mental health. This helps me get out of the house more and allows me to allocate my energy towards other people’s pets now that my dog has passed :( RIP Maisy 💕 Let me know what type of service you need. Price may be negotiable. So go off and do whatever you need to do—I’ll just be hanging out with your babies and stealing all the cuddles. Expert at positive reinforcement—I’m a behavior analyst. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, special care dogs, and cats. I’ve owned 2 small dogs and fostered cats over the years. I’m really looking forward to my therapy session 😌 I travel between California and Canada. When I am in the States, I work from home so I’m most available within the Greater Sacramento area 7 days a week and flexible with time. Happy to work around your needs to the best of my ability. I will follow your instructions as described and based on your pet's needs. I can pop in to check on animals, let them out/go for a walk, clean pet areas, feed, scrub them down, administer medication, and even water your plants while I’m there (since plants are the new pets and pets are the new children).
“Cory is a great dog walker. Kind, patient and very observant. He taught me a new lesson for my Akita which has helped us in our daily training. I highly recommend Cory.”
“Ashley is personable and is easygoing to work with. She was calm and patient with our three big dogs. She was timely and provided great feedback on how her time with our doggies went.”
About: I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, starting in childhood on a farm and continuing throughout my life. Caring for animals has always been a core part of who I am, not just something I do. I have extensive experience with dogs and cats. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including pets with more medicine needs. I work with animals of all sizes and dispositions. I am very experienced with medication administration, including oral medications, subcutaneous injections in cats, injections in dogs, and specialty medications such as cancer treatments, which I administer carefully and safely using proper protective equipment. I am also familiar with veterinary care routines and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I am known for being gentle, patient, observant, and calm, even in challenging situations. I have significant experience caring for senior pets, animals with medical needs, and cats with strong personalities or aggression. I respect animals’ boundaries, read their body language closely, and know when to give space and when to confidently stand my ground so everyone stays safe and comfortable. What truly sets me apart is how deeply I care. I love getting to know each animal as an individual, learning their routines, preferences, and quirks, and interacting with them in the way that works best for them. I take pride in making animals feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for while their humans are away. I’m trustworthy, attentive, and fully present when I’m with your pets. I will likely give them silly nicknames and may even sing to them, but above all, I will treat them with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own animals. I work from home, which means my schedule is very flexible, and pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Because I’m not tied to a rigid office schedule, I’m able to plan my days around pet visits, routines, and any special care needs rather than trying to fit them in between other commitments. I’m proud to be one of the go-to pet sitters in my Sacramento community, and I take that trust seriously. When I commit to caring for pets, they receive my full attention, not rushed or distracted care. I’m able to reliably maintain feeding schedules, administer medications, provide enrichment and companionship, and keep up with daily care tasks that help pets feel comfortable and secure. I understand how important consistency, calm, and reliability are for pets when their people are away. My flexible schedule allows me to spend quality time with each pet, observe their behavior closely, and notice any changes early. I communicate clearly and provide thoughtful updates so pet parents can feel confident and at ease while they’re gone. Pet sitting isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule. It’s something I intentionally make space for. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and am excited to continue offering dependable, attentive, and compassionate pet care to my community. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is centered on safety, consistency, and respect for each pet’s routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, preferences, and any special care instructions so their environment feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow established feeding schedules, medication instructions, and care routines carefully, and I’m experienced administering a wide range of medications when needed. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall comfort, and I address any concerns promptly and thoughtfully. I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, litter boxes, food storage, and any household safety considerations. I respect pets’ boundaries and personalities, and I interact with them in the way that works best for them, whether that’s active engagement, gentle companionship, or giving them space while still keeping a close eye on their well-being. Communication is very important to me. I provide regular updates, including photos, so pet parents can see that their pets are comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m responsive, transparent, and proactive with communication, which helps owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Above all, I care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. I take the responsibility seriously and treat every pet and home with the same level of care and respect I would expect for my own.
About: Growing up I had always wanted a dog, at the age of 7 I finally got her! Victory was her name and she was my personal victory. I remember how full my heart was every time she was around me. Such selfless creatures really I understand that every dog has it's own personality, which is the fun of it all. Sometimes you get to see the world through their eyes and realize that you just need to settle down and slow down most of the time. I was always told that "Happiness is a warm puppy" Young or old they still have that spunk towards them :) Needless to say I would take great care of your puppers Hope you enjoyed this read! Thank you I currently work 4am-12:30pm full time and have Tuesday & Wednesday off, so if weekend trips are what you’re looking for I can help you, or anything else during the week. I care for pets by following the instructions that would be given to me by the pet parent and if I have any questions I’m not afraid to ask.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. I have my own cat, Button, whom I love dearly and have taken care of pets for my friends lately.

I’m currently at student at Sacramento State so i’m currently not working which means I have lots of free time especially during summer. I’m free everyday outside of a few planned vacation days and very flexible with times and scheduling. I live in a good sized apartment where we’ve had 2 pets before, there’s a big yard and a dog park at my apartment complex for the pets to play in. I also surround myself with other kind and playful people who love animals. Your pet will get lots of love and play time

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16, helping neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve mainly worked with energetic small to medium sized dogs and love every minute of it! I handle feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime, and I enjoy teaching simple tricks to keep pets happy and engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and enthusiastic, making sure pets stay active, entertained, and safe. I also communicate regularly with owners so they feel at ease and confident that their pets are receiving the best care! I have a good amount of time to dedicate to pets since I’m currently taking only two classes and don’t work. I’m available throughout the weekdays and weekends. My class schedule: Tuesday: 6pm-9:15pm Thursday: 6pm-9:15pm New schedule comes out on August 9th Pet care fits well into my routine because my classes are short and spread out, giving me plenty of free time before and after. I’m happy to stay extra time if needed! I prioritize safety and comfort in every pet’s home! I supervise them at all times, follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walking, or routines, and provide lots of love and attention. I also keep a clean, calm environment so pets feel relaxed and happy while in my care!
“Italia is incredible! She is so loving and kind to my pups as well as thoroughly details their daily journeys and behaviors. During our meet and greet, my pups were immediately drawn to her. I have such peace of mind when I leave my pups in her care. We are beyond lucky to have her in our lives!”

“Thank you Reginay for caring for Queenie. She had a great time and I knew she was in the best hands. Lots of walks and play time. Pics and prompt communication. Appreciate it!”
“He seemed so happy there and he came back home to his usual routine with no issues (when we have boarded him with petsmart etc. there has always been an adjust period). Got some feedback on some things we can work on at home too. Thank you!”
“We loved the care and treatment Angie got from Brandee. Brandee kept us informed about her well being and sent us pictures and videos. Will use her services again.”
“Michelle and Craig were wonderful taking care of our two dogs. Craig was so kind and scheduled an alarm in the middle of the night so that our elderly dog Suzy wouldn’t have to use a pad to relieve herself. What great care they took of our pups! Highly recommended”
“Annie was great with my nervous dog. Annie responded quickly to my messages as we prepared for my dog's stay with her, and sent me pictures while my dog was in her care.”
“Marilee took great care of our babies while we were on vacation! She sent daily updates with photos and videos, and our pups were cuddled up with them in so many so we knew they were feeling loved!”
“Achara has been amazing. We’ve used her 3 times now and every single experience has been great. She sends us pictures every day of our pup playing in the backyard with her dogs, which gives us a ton of peace of mind when we’re away. The biggest sign of all is that every time he sees her, he gets so excited he literally pees himself. He absolutely loves her, and it’s obvious she takes great care of him. Couldn’t recommend her more.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! Even tho I am new to the rover app I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends and family for about 7 years now . I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I am mostly available Monday / Thursday after 6 pm , and fully available Friday / Sunday for boarding or drop ins , but could most definitely accommodate different times I currently don’t have any puppy’s of my own . I have a fenced yard for your puppy to play and explore and I also live blocks away from 2 separate parks where we could go on walks
“Declan had such a great time!! We were so worried about leaving Declan but Marcie took great care of him and put our minds at ease. She sent us so many photos too (which we loved!) and was very responsive when we messaged her to check in on our pup.”
“Tammi was so great with our dog, Daisy. I felt confident that Daisy was safe and loved while we were on vacation. I appreciated the updates and pictures from Tammi, and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dog sitter. We are so happy that we have found a sitter that we can trust our baby with.”
“Eros loved his stay. They have a wonderful and clean home and gave Eros lots of love and attention. I got plenty of updates and photos and videos. I will definitely be keeping Joanne and Jim as my first option for taking care of my sweet boy.”
“Our dog, Zeus, stayed for his first time with Nelly and seemed to really enjoy it. He was happy and heathy and came home with the same fun and loving personality he's known for. Big thanks to Nelly for the cute pics during his stay too.”
“It was our first time using Rover and I was a little nervous. Michael eased my mind and I knew Cooper would be in great hands. From the meet n greet I knew Michael was going to give my boy plenty of attention and then once we dropped him off I saw them on a walk right away. I got plenty of updates of them on walks and pictures of him on their adventures and him pooped out afterwards. Cooper enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be booking a stay with Michael again!”
“Best ever! We have a special needs dog, a rescue who had been abused and attacked by other dogs and they treated her so well she felt at home from day 1. We are so thankful for everything. We got pictures, she borrowed a jacket when it was cold and rainy and she went on long walks. Best experience ever!”
“We booked Roy because our previous sitter canceled and Roy was quick to respond and very willing to take care of Rudy. Rudy is a Doby in his teenage phase so he has a lot of energy and Roy was ready to take that on. He gave Rudy lots of attention and play time and Rudy had a blast. We felt so relaxed on our trip because we knew Rudy was in good hands. Highly recommend Roy for your sitter!”
“Doh is an excellent sitter. We left our dog Bailey for the first time with a stranger but Doh was nothing but great to him, she sent us pictures and we were so happy that he got to play with other canine friends”
“Ann is the BEST!! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my pups for more than a day; I was sooo nervous!! But Ann made me and my pups feel so comfortable right from the intro meeting!! I have an older Chiweenie who was abused and doesn't do well with people and new situations...Ann showed me pictures daily and was very responsive each time I reached out. My baby was getting pets, and sitting right beside her!! She knew her medical issue the moment i mentioned it. My other baby, a teacup Pom is very clingy, and and needs walking every day. Had pictures daily of her sitting on the doggy bed or getting attention. Now, at home, she's a little less clingy!! Ann is 5 stars!!”
“Oso had the best time! I loved getting updates . We will definitely keep Kerstin as our regular sitter ? She was so friendly and awesome with our sweet boy .”
“Noelle had great communication the whole time Holly was staying. She sent cute pictures each day, and Holly seemed totally relaxed at her place. Holly was wagging her tail like crazy at pick-up time, and I wonder if she even wanted to come home with me. 😆 Will definitely use Noelle in the future for watching Holly.”
