“Doh was an absolute lifesaver taking care of Dodger last minute. She was very responsive, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease during his stay. This was Dodger’s first time boarding overnight with someone else, and she did an amazing job keeping me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how he was doing. I truly appreciated her communication and care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Danielle was a fantastic host. She is a good communicator, very accommodating and overall just a delightful person. Cersei felt 100% comfortable staying with Danielle and had fun playing with her own pups as well.”
“Manuel took amazing care of my little guy! He was very flexible, professional, and sent lots of pictures. Chancho had a blast with Chewie, will definitely book again anytime I am in Sacramento.”
“Brandee is a dog whisperer! We’re so thankful to have found her. We needed a dog sitter two times in 10 days and our pup couldn’t have been at a better place.”
“I can't recommend Serena enough! She took care of my English lab, Bear, and truly went above and beyond. She showered him with love and attention, making sure he was comfortable and happy the whole time. The best part was how thoughtful and communicative she was—she sent so many pictures and updates, so I never had to worry. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and caring for your pet, Serena is the perfect choice!”
About: Hello fellow pet parents! My name is Emily, and I am thrilled to offer a safe, fun, and reliable home-away-from-home for your beloved four-legged family members. As a passionate animal lover, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve the absolute best care, attention, and affection. Whether your pet is an energetic ball of fluff who needs to burn off some energy, or a sweet senior soul who just wants a quiet cuddle on the couch, I tailor my care to meet their unique personality and routine! 🐕 Services Provided & Activities When your pet is with me, their day will be filled with structure, safety, and a whole lot of fun. The services I provide are fully customizable, but a typical day of care or visit often includes: Tailored Exercise & Neighborhood Walks: Active walks to explore local spots, sniff all the good trails, and get some great fresh air. Engaging Playtime & Mental Stimulation: From classic games of fetch to interactive toys, I love keeping pets mentally and physically sharp. Cozy Cuddle Time & Companionship: Plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, and relaxing downtime to ensure they feel entirely safe, secure, and loved. Routine Maintenance: Timely feeding, refreshing water bowls, administering any required medications, and ensuring a clean environment (including keeping litter boxes spotless for feline friends). Daily Photo Updates: I love capturing great candid moments! You can expect regular, bright photo and text updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having while you're away. 📚 My Pet Care Experience I have years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, ranging from high-energy dogs to independent, sweet cats. My background includes managing different temperaments, understanding animal body language, and adhering strictly to specific dietary and medical routines. Having my own beloved pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and vigilance. I treat every single animal in my care with the exact same level of devotion, respect, and safety that I demand for my own furry family. From puppy training basics to gentle senior care, I’ve got it covered! 📅 Availability & Daily Routine I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I pride myself on being highly present and attentive. My Schedule: I manage my professional responsibilities with an incredibly flexible schedule that allows me to put your pet's needs first. Time Spent with Your Pet: Because I have excellent control over my daily calendar, your pet will never be an afterthought. I am able to dedicate significant chunks of the day to direct interaction, frequent potty breaks, and structured play. Evenings & Weekends: I have fantastic availability for overnight stays, weekend boarding, or dedicated evening drop-ins, ensuring that your pet maintains their normal routine without disruption. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions, details about your pet's specific quirks, or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Let’s give your pet the best day ever! 🐶🐱✨ Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m used to building my day around routines like walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and consistency. I’m home enough to provide regular care, supervision, and companionship, and I enjoy being active, so walks and exercise are an easy part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep their normal routine as stress-free and familiar as possible while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I make sure every pet is supervised carefully, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their individual needs and routine. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I believe in clear communication and will always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own pet. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners every time.
“Ann and her husband were such great pet guardians for Angie! Ann's extensive experience with dogs and her gentle energy filled me with confidence that Angie would be in good hands. They're good people and I will happily use them again!”
“Cynthia was great with Benji! She communicated well, sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and was very professional and kind. I felt confident that Benji was in good hands. I definitely recommend her and would book with her 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!”
About: I spent a lot of my teenage years looking after my grandparents two big Burmese mountain dogs and their home while they went on their vacations! I have also always had pets from puppies/kittens to elderly dogs/ cats. With the elderly animals i have experience in giving them medication and assisting them in utilizing the restroom if need be and making sure they have the right amount exercise. I currently work full time Saturdays through Wednesdays from 6am-2:30pm. On Thursdays and Fridays I will be home all day so I will be available for boarding and any day after 2:30pm as well, so i will have all evening those days to hang out with the fur babies! I live in an apartment complex, and I have my two cats, I give lots of cuddles for as long as they let me, and your fur baby will be either snuggled with my on my bed or the couch they are more than welcome anywhere in my home!
“I had concerns how my 5 year old rescued German Shepherd would adjust with the extended stay but Reginay handled him very professionally. She shared videos and kept us very informed which helped us extremely so we could enjoy our vacation. We are very glad we found her and know we can take future vacations with our boy being in good hands. Great Job Reginay!!!”
“She did wonderful. Taking care of my dog Roku. He has separation anxiety and she tended to he’s care and made him feel comfortable, she always sent me pics and gave me updates which I appreciate:) she’s very sweet and kind and does a great job at watching your pet! Highly recommend”
About: I love dogs. I've been around them all my life. My ultimate goal is to have a retirement home for rescues and this is the first step. I'm flexible with my availability and have experience with all kinds of pups (no matter the age, they're all pups). I have run half marathons so keeping up if needed is a non issue. But also am able to take it slow for older pups if some extra attention is needed too. I have two rescues (both hounds) and they mean the world to me. They aren't as big into the outdoors as I am but they do love to cuddle. I am often considered the boy scout in group because of my sunny disposition and philosophy of always being prepared.
“Adilene is my dogs new favorite person. I had a family emergency and needed to leave town fast and Adidene was able to do a last-minute babysitting for a week we did at meet and great the day before and her dogs are sweet and got along really well with my 16 pound 7 years old Cav mix. He always had a smile on his face in the pictures and videos. You can tell when dogs are happy he was blissful. I will definitely leave Taz with Adilene again she is definitely a dog whisperer. I’m so grateful I lucked into a wonderful Dog Sitter for my sweetheart when I had to be out of town, not an option. I’m extremely grateful for the love and care she took with him.”
“Grisel kept us updated daily with Avery’s status along with pictures and videos. She even reached out when Avery was having anxiety from fireworks noise to find out what we do to help her, and offering some suggestions. Avery really enjoyed playing with Grisel’s dog Palermo. We will definitely use Grisel in the future.”
“Becky was so thoughtful and attentive to our pup. Making sure he took medication multiple times per day, sharing updates, and making him feel at home for a weekend boarding. Would be honored to have her watch our boy again!”

“The best possible experience! Audrey is so responsible, sweet, thoughtful, great with our cats, and trustworthy. We were able to leave our cats for the first time for a whole week and know they were in great hands. She went above and beyond in every aspect - sent daily photo updates, followed instructions perfectly — she’ll be our go-to cat sitter from now on! 🤍”
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.
“Emma was excellent and great with my cat. I highly recommend booking with her and will definitely be booking with her again for my future vacations. She is polite and quick to respond and accommodating with requests.”
“Aimee was wonderful! She cared for mine and my husband’s two cats while we were away. One of our cats is known for not being so friendly towards strangers, but she took to Aimee right away, which gave me a lot of reassurance. She provided excellent care for our cats and I hope she is available again next time we need a sitter.”
“Markita made our first Rover booking the easiest decision ever. We were nervous leaving Freddie and Charlie alone with a “stranger” for 12 days - this was the longest we’ve been away from them. Markita gave us the peace of mind we needed to relax on our trip. She was responsive and went the extra mile with everything. Most of all, she bonded with the boys which was really special. Thanks Markita for taking care of our boys and our home! We know exactly who to call on to take care of them for our next trip. ❤️🐱”
About: Ive grown up with cats almost my whole life. I would cat-sit for my cousin quite often through out my high-school career and she only trusted me to take care of her kitty's. I have 2 cats of my own and had a family cat that stayed with us for 20 years, so I have experience with senior cats as well!
“Danielle is always great with our cat Greg! Always brushes his teeth makes sure he’s got lots of food and keeps his litter box clean! She also always stays the full amount of time for his drop ins so you know your pet is getting lots of play and love while she’s there. Thanks Danielle!!”
“Mel did such a wonderful job taking care of my kitties! She is friendly, meticulous, and went above and beyond to make my cats feel comfortable around her. If I go out of town again, I’m definitely rebooking Mel!”
“Doh took excellent care of my cats including getting emergency medical attention when one fell ill. I have complete trust in her judgment and confidence in her dedication to the cats and my home. She has great attention to detail and communication skills.”
“Michelle was so so helpful despite me booking a trip and needing Rover care near to last minute. She is really attuned to detail and she went above and beyond with care, leaving my apartment clean and tidy. It’s obvious she’s an animal lover and she was so sweet in sending detailed updates about my cats. My travel plans changed and we had to modify the booking but Michelle was really understanding, professional and accommodating about it. Would book her again or recommend to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you!!!”
“Erika was fantastic! She took outstanding care of our very mature (19-yo) cat. She provided updates with photos twice a day. She spent time giving him attention, took care of the litter box, handled the house alarm system with out a hitch. She even collected the mail and provided updates on the yard after a storm. Things could not have gone better!”
“Natalie is wonderful. My sister and I were worried about leaving our cats since they both have medical needs. Not only was Natalie willing to administer the medicine, but she was also extremely caring. She put our minds at ease! We got detailed updates every visit, and she made sure to give both cats attention, not just the necessities of food and water. Your pets will be in great hands with Natalie!”
“Liz was great! She sent just the right amount of daily updates and pictures to make me feel comfortable about things back home. If you're a cat parent, I highly recommend reaching out to her.”
“Erika took amazing care of Freya. She updated me with texts and pictures and was able to take her on short notice. 10/10 would highly recommend and I will be using her again in the future!”
“Spectacular! Piper was amazing! She took care of my kitties like they were her own. My scaredy cat never comes out when other people are here but he came out and greeted her every day. She played with them and cleaned everything just like I asked. She even brought soup for me because she knew I wouldn't have much food when I came back from camping! Very impressed and highly recommend. Piper will be my regular cat sitter from now on so book fast before I book her first! Thank you Piper!!!!”
About: I lost my pittie Juice of nine years who passed away, I miss him deeply. I have thought of ways to give back that would fill my heart with joy. I would like to give back to other dog parents in need of help or an extra hand as a dog mama myself I have always loved dogs. I have grown up with large and smalls breeds my entire life and have watched my family and friends dogs throughout the years. I work hybrid remote, in office Wed-Thurs & about less than 10 min drive from work. I can be home the other days in the week and on weekends if needed. I live in 800 sq foot apartment and it can be spacious for large dog as well. I'd like to note, I reside on the third floor of my apartment and it is only stairs. My dog was as pittie 95lbs before he passed away. I live close to walking trails, nice neighbors, and close to two dog parks within a 5 minute drive.
About: I've fostered and pet-sat numerous dogs and cats over the years and have an absolute love for them. I' had a Dog who now lives with my 20 yr old son because he grew up with her and is extremely attached to her and since I no longer have a pet of my own, rover is extremely fulfilling to me in missing being around them. I am reliable, trustworthy and will love and care for your pets and your home with all my heart. I am a digital nomad and holistic healer and absolutely love what I do, all I need is good wifi which allows me to work from anywhere. I make my own schedule and so I'm able to give my attention to my other passions such as this. I took a couple of years break from Rover to travel the world and teach yoga and meditation and now I’m excited to be back! Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with utmost care to keep your little buddy feeling loved, cared for and happy!

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”
“Julie was welcoming in our meet and great. She showed me her doggycare area and told me details about taking care of dogs. There seems to be a lot, but they're all behaving reasonably well. I wasn't quite sure my pug would do well, but he fit in just fine. Her other caretaker, Diante (sp?) was also welcoming. Overall, a great daycare.”
“We’ve booked Grisel several times and will continue to rebook! She has gone above and beyond to provide exemplary care for my Otter boy (lending him a doggy sweater when it’s cold outside and successfully flushing his eyes with his eye wash during allergy flare-ups). I can rest easy knowing that he is in her care.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I adore all animals and really enjoy their company. Having two fur babies of my own I know the importance of having someone you trust take care of them. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. Pets are family and should be treated with love, compassion, and respect. I have taken care of animals of all ages. I can give medication if needed. I would love to spend time with your pets when you are not able to. I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule. I would have plenty of time to spoil your fur babies with walks and belly rubs. I can do doggy daycare and boarding almost any day and time as long as your dog is tolerant to other dogs and is up to date on vaccinations. Playtime, walks, snuggles, and whatever else your pups or cats needs are, I am more than happy to supply them with the love and attention they need while you are away.
“Franklin had an awesome time at Nelly’s! She got to roam around the house and had free rein of the backyard. When we picked up Franklin, she immediately fell asleep from all the playtime she got, sign of a good day. 100% recommend Nelly’s place. Nelly was also accommodating with the drop off/pick up time and let us store a bag with her for the day.”
“Leo loved his day care experience with Hana! She was so kind and send so many pictures of Leo throughout the day. We will deff be booking with her again. She’s amazing l!!”
“Anna was so sweet and my dog Deuce was so comfortable with her. He usually has a mini melt down when I leave him but he was so happy. The coursed dinner we attended ended up taking much longer that I anticipated and Anna was so sweet and understanding when we were later to pick up Deuce than what we had scheduled. Can’t wait to use her again!”
“Tanzina was great with Cooper and kept me updated throughout the day! He has anxiety and she was very understanding of it even as it took time for him to acclimate to her place.”
About: Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! I have been caring for friends and families dogs for a couple years now, but i had to make a whole new profile when i moved from out of state! Hoping to build up my clientele once again! I work part time and have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m currently working part time for UPS, approximately 4:30am-9am Monday-Friday so I am available for drop ins, walks, and house sitting gigs where the owner is okay with me arriving anytime between 9-10am in the morning for first walks of the day. My 13 year old daughter is gaining work experience for her resume and accompanies me to all house sitting gigs. She is very responsible and respectful and sweet to all animals! I strive to follow each clients instructions for the care of their pets to a T, and I send photos and videos often throughout the day to ease owners worries!
About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.
“Nicole is great! I have not been a dog Mom since I was seven. My doggy is a new Rescue to me. That being said, he's very excitable as well as not potty trained yet . Nicole was very patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. I had a previous boarding experience that did not go so well because the dogs in the home barked at mine the entire time he was there (days). With that information, Nicole introduced her dogs to mine one at a time. My dog spent several hours at her home and got along so well with her fur babies. It was like a great play date! I am happy to have her as a resource should I need to board my pup.”
“We have used Susan multiple times for daycare and she is wonderful!! She is a warm and kind person and truly loves dogs. I feel very comfortable leaving Maya with her, knowing Maya will be safe and well taken care of.”
About: I’ve always had family pets. We’ve adopted several dogs, young and old, over the years. We currently do not have our own pets, but understand how important it is to feel relaxed when traveling, knowing your furry family is taken care of while away. I am self-employed and work from home. This allows me to be very accommodating when watching your pets and/or home. My wife is an RN and would be able to step in should my schedule not accommodate a particular situation. I prefer to watch your pets in their routine environment knowing it makes them less anxious while you’re away. Depending on your pet and their disposition, I could also allow them time in our home.
“Nelly is always great with our Zoey, who is shy and anxious around strangers and new environments. Zoey stayed for the day and we got picture updates reassuring us she was doing well. Nelly also had very helpful advice on feeding picky eaters like our little princess. She genuinely cares for the pets she's entrusted with and we are fortunate to have found her.”
“Happy to have found Laura for a few days of doggy day care! My first time using Rover instead of friends & family and was a bit nervous, like all dog parents. Marvin is a 1 year old Dachshund with LOTS of energy and had soo much fun playing with Honey! They went on longs walks and spent some time playing outside! I received lots of photos and videos. Laura accommodated my schedule for drop offs. She took great care of Marv and highly recommend her and Honey.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Ben Ali
Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: Hello! I’ve had dogs all my life and love getting out and walking them. I’m a recent UC Davis Animal Science graduate starting at UPenn for Vet School this year. I’ve walked a huge range of breeds, sizes, and energy levels, everything from high-energy German Shorthaired Pointers, Huskies, Pitbulls, and Shepherds to Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, and Frenchies. With a year and a half of experience as a veterinary assistant, time as an SPCA volunteer, and extensive coursework working with animals, I'm especially attentive on walks. I know how to spot subtle body language, manage leash reactivity, keep dogs safe on busy sidewalks, and administer any oral medications if needed before or after a walk. Whether your dog needs a fast-paced exercise walk or a calm neighborhood stroll, they’ll be in safe, experienced hands! I am currently on summer break before moving to Philadelphia for Vet School on August 10th, and so I am free any day of the week at almost times are needed! I am free on Tuesdays, just not between 11-3! If you would like a walk on a blocked day please message me as I might be available at different times on that day. Safety is my top priority on every walk. My background as a veterinary assistant and shelter volunteer trained me to handle unpredictable behaviors, read stress cues, and keep dogs secure on the go. I follow your exact instructions for leash setups, harness adjustments, and route preferences. If your dog is prone to bolting or rushing doors, I use careful barrier techniques so they stay safely inside while I enter and exit. On the sidewalk, I stay focused on city traffic, managing space around other dogs, and avoiding street hazards. My clinical training also means I recognize early signs of heat fatigue or physical discomfort, and I can easily give any needed medications before or after our walk. You can count on a safe, attentive outing every time.
“Maya is a great communicator, super sweet, very punctual and extremely attentive and loving with our Coco. I highly recommend her as a dog walker and for drop in visits as these are the services she has provided for us.”
About: What sets me aside from the rest I treat my animals like family I love animals and it always shows through the way I care for them I have yet to meet an animal that didn't love me I currently have a lot of down time for work so this is the perfect job for me and it's something that doesn't feel like work Walks movies talks good food hydration I will make sure I complete everything that maybe on the clients list and more I won't do anything that is not allowed
“As first-time Rover users, we chose Alexandra and all we can say is Alexandra is the best! She is extremely prompt & communicative and was eager to help us navigate the app and Rover support when we realized we were being charged holiday fee outside of the holiday period. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she cares for while the owners are away. Thanks Alex!”
“Since going back to the office part-time it's been such a relief to have Danielle there for my two big shepherds. She's completely reliable and always keeps me in the loop about her schedule. Top marks!”
About: As an educator with a bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, caregiving, patience, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. I'm dependable, attentive, and comfortable pet sitting, feeding, walking, playing with pets, following detailed routines, and providing plenty of companionship and affection. I'm also completely comfortable with the less glamorous parts of pet care, including cleaning up poop and other messes, because I know that's simply part of keeping animals happy, healthy, and comfortable. I've had many pets of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust to care for your pet and your home while you're away. While I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, I would love the opportunity to give that same care, attention, and affection to yours. I look forward to getting to know your pet, making them feel comfortable and loved, and caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 My schedule allows me to provide pet care on weekends and during times when I'm not working. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting, and I do my best to work with each pet owner's routine and scheduling needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I take caring for someone's pet and being trusted in their home seriously. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences their pet may have. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and the pet's surroundings to help keep them safe and secure. I also make sure to clean up after pets and leave the home tidy, because I believe respecting someone's home is just as important as providing loving and dependable care for their pet.
“Michelle is an excellent dog Walker! She’s done a great job with my little girl VIDA. She is very in tune with her individual needs. I would highly recommend Michelle to walk your dog!”
About: I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have always had dogs around and have been consistently relied upon by friends and family to help take care of theirs (much to my delight!). I have experience with cats, dogs, and more! I have cats currently, however, I have had dogs (from small to large !). I even worked at Petco and helped take care of the animals there !I took care of my golden retriever through some illnesses and have comfortability with medication as well. All that to say- I would love to get all the animal time in and be there to help take care of your extra family members :) I work remotely so if you need someone there for your buddy for long periods- I got you! I start work at 3pm so I can dedicate some extra quality time with them before that ! I want your and your pets to feel the upmost comfort and care with our time together - whether that’s through text updates, sending you photos or just setting clear goals for your pets during our time together !
About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I fostered puppies and adult dogs for four years, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I also grew up with working dogs, so I am very comfortable handling high-energy breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they require. Whether it's a playful puppy, an active working dog, or a senior pet needing extra patience and care, I adapt to each animal's individual needs. I am confident handling dogs on walks and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs as well :) I am a full time student looking to fill my summer by taking care pets instead of adopting more! I have extremely open availability, whatever your pet needs Ill be there. I wholeheartedly understand the anxiety and stress that can come with leaving your pet in someone else's care, I have those same feelings when it comes to my own pets. Because of that, I will treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness, along with your peace of mind, are always my top priorities. While I am caring for your pet, I will be readily available by text or phone and happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. 🐾
About: This experience has taught me responsibility, empathy, and the importance of communication—both with animals and their owners. I take pride in being a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver, always focused on keeping pets happy, healthy, and loved. My schedule is extremely flexible. I can be available seven days a week if needed. Mornings afternoons, and evenings too. I’m here for you and your pet too! Whether pets are in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, my approach is always rooted in safety, comfort, and personalized attention. I treat every pet like my own and make it a priority to understand their specific needs and routines.
About: I am here because I know how important it is to provide your pets quality care. I want your time away to be as convenient and stress free as possible. I know it can be difficult finding the right care and I am here to ease that worry while reassuring you I have experience and knowledge to provide quality care. I strive to keep your pets routine and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I'm here to communicate with you and commit to you and your pets. I see myself as a form of extended family, as such I genuinely care and provide quality care. I had owners that needed me to care for special needs and request one on one care or special needs can be accommodated sometimes with additional fees but most often with the regular rates. I am able to do introductions with other animals or keep separate depending on pets temperament and owner preferences. I've taken care of pets, including my own since I was a young child. I have cared for all types of pets including cats, dogs (of all sizes) and other animals. I have experience with senior animals and puppies and have pet sat, been a dog owner and fostered. I have experience with multiple breeds and we prefer to make your pet feel at home as much as possible, so you can be at ease while away. I work from home and pets are provided care throughout the day. I know it can be hard to find someone you feel comfortable with taking care of your pet so I am to not only take excellent care of your pet but for you to rest assured your pet is in great hands. I have a fenced yard, as well as a space if you have a pet that needs to be confined or crated. I am happy to discuss needs and try to work out to make your pets stay as pleasant as possible. I ask that you provide all the things your pet is used to including schedule/ routine if you keep one so that their time away is comfortable and seamless.
About: 🐾Hi!🐾 My names Nelly🤗, me and my family have been around animals especially dogs all of our lives. I can truly say my husband is the reason I became even more of a dog lover now. We love to have fun, go for walks/runs, play at parks, go to the lake, or just be outside in our backyard soaking up the sun. We have lots of love and snuggles to give any dog that suffers with anxiety or depression. We all know how frightening it can be to be somewhere new, so we will always do our best to make them feel right at home and part of the family. We can give lots of love to your elder dogs who need the extra TLC. We enjoy having one on one stays so your pup/pups (the more the merrier😂) have all of our attention during their stay here with us. BUT if there is any and I mean any intertwinement within stays, I will always let it be known before moving forward with the booking to ensure we are all on the same page. We have two rooms designated for pups to be separated if necessary. The safety of your pups is our top priority and I will always be transparent when some dates or times may cross paths. We are doing this as a family which means way more fun for all of us ☺️. As you can see by the pictures, I have a son who is 8 years old. His name is Aiden. He loves dogs and any fur animal. His goal is to have a dog when he’s a little older, so this is also a great experience for him to learn how it is to take care of a dog, with us doing most of the work 😂. My husband’s name is Josue and he has been around dogs all his life. He is great with dogs of all sizes and always has treats to make sure they know that they’re doing a great job. Anytime my husband sees any dogs all he wants to do is lay on the ground and have them all over him lol. Since we’re doing this as a family, we want to thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to watch, love, and care for your pups. I am doing this full-time, I love and enjoy taking care of your pups so I will always be available with open arms. I have plenty of time to walk, play, train, and snuggle your pups. I have a great backyard and a family ready to play. Doing this full-time has been a blessing not only for myself but for my family as well 💙💙. I have a fenced yard and I provide the crates as well if needed and we have all sizes. My house is very secure with a very big backyard, as well as two dog rooms for them to play in, sleep in, or have down time. The house will always be open for roaming. I want them to feel at home here🐾💙

About: I have taken care of my husky malamute mix for over 8 years. Because of him, I’ve learned to look after a large, stubborn dog who is difficult to control.

About: I am a long-time animal lover, animal advocate, and animal welfare professional. I've had animals all my life, have volunteered for numerous animal groups, and have worked for a national animal welfare organization for the past 20 years. I have fostered neonatal kittens and have had several special-needs cats in my lifetime. I know how to administer sub Q fluids, give insulin injections, trim nails, and more. While I am a cat owner, I love dogs equally and will give your dog the love and care he/she'd receive in your own home. I’d love the opportunity to give you peace of mind that your pet is well cared for while you’re out of town. Thank you for considering me! I work from home and have a flexible schedule so I can accommodate most pet care needs. I am the mom to a teenage son, so I have lots of time on my hands and I’d love to spend my time giving your pet the love and care they deserve. I know a lot of people have specific instructions on how to care for their pet while they’re away, I adhere to all requests and rules, and make sure there’s lots of time for play and snuggles too.

I have experience with cats and dogs, including meds, disabilities, puppies and more. Please ask for any questions! Dogs make me feel good, they for my mental health, so I'm getting something out of it as well. I'm a natural caregiver, and I am about to have twins.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs for as long as I can remember. I love playing with them, taking care of them, giving them love, and any other care they need. I’m currently a stay at home mom, I just had my first baby a couple months ago who is not yet crawling or walking. So I’m available throughout the week and weekend. I have a fenced yard with space for pets to run around and get some air. I do have a 3 month old kitten but I have a lot of space in my house and if your pet doesn’t get along with cats I am able to section off my kitty to one side of the house during your furry friend’s stay here.

“Doh was an absolute lifesaver taking care of Dodger last minute. She was very responsive, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease during his stay. This was Dodger’s first time boarding overnight with someone else, and she did an amazing job keeping me updated with pictures and messages letting me know how he was doing. I truly appreciated her communication and care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Manuel took amazing care of my little guy! He was very flexible, professional, and sent lots of pictures. Chancho had a blast with Chewie, will definitely book again anytime I am in Sacramento.”
“Brandee is a dog whisperer! We’re so thankful to have found her. We needed a dog sitter two times in 10 days and our pup couldn’t have been at a better place.”
“I can't recommend Serena enough! She took care of my English lab, Bear, and truly went above and beyond. She showered him with love and attention, making sure he was comfortable and happy the whole time. The best part was how thoughtful and communicative she was—she sent so many pictures and updates, so I never had to worry. It was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and caring for your pet, Serena is the perfect choice!”

My background includes managing different temperaments, understanding animal body language, and adhering strictly to specific dietary and medical routines. Having my own beloved pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and vigilance. I treat every single animal in my care with the exact same level of devotion, respect, and safety that I demand for my own furry family. From puppy training basics to gentle senior care, I’ve got it covered! 📅 Availability & Daily Routine I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I pride myself on being highly present and attentive.

Let’s give your pet the best day ever! 🐶🐱✨ Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I’m used to building my day around routines like walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, including puppies who need extra attention and consistency. I’m home enough to provide regular care, supervision, and companionship, and I enjoy being active, so walks and exercise are an easy part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions closely and keep their normal routine as stress-free and familiar as possible while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I make sure every pet is supervised carefully, kept in a safe environment, and cared for according to their individual needs and routine. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable so I can respond quickly if something seems off. I believe in clear communication and will always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own pet. My goal is to create a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners every time.
“Ann and her husband were such great pet guardians for Angie! Ann's extensive experience with dogs and her gentle energy filled me with confidence that Angie would be in good hands. They're good people and I will happily use them 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!”
“I had concerns how my 5 year old rescued German Shepherd would adjust with the extended stay but Reginay handled him very professionally. She shared videos and kept us very informed which helped us extremely so we could enjoy our vacation. We are very glad we found her and know we can take future vacations with our boy being in good hands. Great Job Reginay!!!”
“She did wonderful. Taking care of my dog Roku. He has separation anxiety and she tended to he’s care and made him feel comfortable, she always sent me pics and gave me updates which I appreciate:) she’s very sweet and kind and does a great job at watching your pet! Highly recommend”
About: I love dogs. I've been around them all my life. My ultimate goal is to have a retirement home for rescues and this is the first step. I'm flexible with my availability and have experience with all kinds of pups (no matter the age, they're all pups). I have run half marathons so keeping up if needed is a non issue. But also am able to take it slow for older pups if some extra attention is needed too. I have two rescues (both hounds) and they mean the world to me. They aren't as big into the outdoors as I am but they do love to cuddle. I am often considered the boy scout in group because of my sunny disposition and philosophy of always being prepared.
“Adilene is my dogs new favorite person. I had a family emergency and needed to leave town fast and Adidene was able to do a last-minute babysitting for a week we did at meet and great the day before and her dogs are sweet and got along really well with my 16 pound 7 years old Cav mix. He always had a smile on his face in the pictures and videos. You can tell when dogs are happy he was blissful. I will definitely leave Taz with Adilene again she is definitely a dog whisperer. I’m so grateful I lucked into a wonderful Dog Sitter for my sweetheart when I had to be out of town, not an option. I’m extremely grateful for the love and care she took with him.”
“Grisel kept us updated daily with Avery’s status along with pictures and videos. She even reached out when Avery was having anxiety from fireworks noise to find out what we do to help her, and offering some suggestions. Avery really enjoyed playing with Grisel’s dog Palermo. We will definitely use Grisel in the future.”
“Becky was so thoughtful and attentive to our pup. Making sure he took medication multiple times per day, sharing updates, and making him feel at home for a weekend boarding. Would be honored to have her watch our boy again!”
“Aaron is the best. This is the first time I left my pup with a sitter and I knew he was in good hands. Aaron kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. I fully trust him with my pup. Highly recommend !!!!”
“Nelli sent me many, many pictures of Enzo. He was very loved by the entire family and you could tell he had a lot of attention. I felt great about our decision to hire Nelli and her family. Enzo loved the running water in their backyard and he may have abused their generosity at making sure he was well quenched! Her husband and son would lay on the floor with him and give him lots of love. I would definitely use their services again.”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”
“10/10 would recommend. Alexxa was very accommodating and a sweet sitter. I am very weary of this app, but my pup was in excellent hands. Absolutely would hire again.”
