“Reginay watched my dog CeeCee I am definitely coming back again. Reginay kept in communication with me the whole time. She agreed to a meet and greet before she watched her. She is very sweet and professional the first time we met. I picked her before but didnt need her that time . She was very sweet and understanding thats why when i needed a sitter she wss the first person i contacted. Ceecee has very bad speration anxiety and this was my first time leaving her with someone she didnt know. I called and texted a million times she never missed not one call or text and made me feel at easy everytime. My dog also have pancreatitis She have a special diet she followed all food instructions i gave her .. Ceecee was smiling the whole time she was with her and she dont do that with anyone. Anything i asked her to do with CeeCee she always said "Sure, no problem" she is very good with communication and easy to talk to . She also have a dog Nova is so sweet and was also glad she was there to keep her company then another dog came over and it was a slumber party. She even took all three walking at once multiple times and took multiple pictures and videos with CeeCee smiling the whole time and let her sleep in her room with her which was amazing and when CeeCee needed her space from the other dogs she made sure she had it. Over all she was the perfect sitter .She made feel very comfortable with her watching CeeCee I am using her everytime I need a sitter. I would give her 100 stars if I could. She was the best! I couldnt ask for a better sitter. Thank you Reginay 😊.”
“Alexandra is a very caring and excellent addition to our beloved Bellas extended care! She sent us detailed updates and pics of our baby daily. We were incredibly impressed that she was able to successfully groom Bella. Bella has a long history of not being welcomed back for groomers due to her defensive and aggressive nature for many years. Shes informative, patient and responds so well to our babys grooming needs. Alexandra was able to successfully groom her! Shes definitely a grooming gangster! We highly recommend Alexandra as your go to for everything care dog needs. We will continue to use her services in the future!”
“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.”
“Thank you for making Deebo is comfortable with you . Highly trusted sitter . Sent updates & videos and asked questions to make sure he was fed correctly. Highly recommended & will book with Irina again 💕”
“Michele took great care of my anxious dog while I was traveling for work. She sent updates and photos often, so I never had to worry. I would board with Michele again.”
“Patty is amazing. Very kind. Very thoughtful. And, truly loves dogs. She treated our pup with the highest of care and took excellent care of her. She’s responsive and extremely accommodating. We had some travel issues and she was very helpful and flexible. Can’t say enough about her. Looking forward to Kala staying with her again soon.”
“My little dogs have always stayed with family or a trusted neighborhood sitter, but when no one was available for an overnight, we were happy to find Bari. My pups were happy with the combo of activities (walks, a dog park visit) and relaxing on Bari’s couch. My 10 year old mini schnauzer has a bit of separation anxiety, but she, as well as my schnoodle, had no problem making themselves at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them stay with Bari again.”
“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”
“This was Lilo’s third stay at Marilee’s place! Ever since we found her, we have not taken Lilo anywhere else to petsit or board! We just know that Lilo is well cared for and loved when she stays over with Marilee. We love seeing all the picture updates Marilee sends us, not only does Lilo look like she’s having a good time, but it puts us at ease!”
“Ingrid was the first person we left our dog alone, she made it very comfortable to leave her and left our mind at ease when on vacation. We were updated with photos and videos of an active and happy time. She provided important feedback as well as a meet and greet before the stay. We would definitely book again.”
“Achara was fantastic! She took great care of my dog for a whole week, and was very accommodating with my last-minute request and when plans had to change. I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“We love staying with Catherine and her fur babies. Everyone is so well taken care of and ends their stay happy and relaxed. Kevin and DiDi love Catherine!”
“Cecilia loves her dogs and always takes the best care of my picky, somewhat high maintanence, senior dog who takes medications twice a day. Cecilia is always responsive, sends pics, and is very accomodating. She’s the best!!”
“Hana was such a sweet pet sitter! I was very worried about leaving my dog as she’s 15 years old and never was left alone with anyone not my parents. Hana took such great care of her my dog felt safe and at home the whole time! She basically had her own summer camp adventure of her own! I highly recommend Hana as she also had consistent updates which was very assuring to me that my pet was in great hands. Thank you again Hana!”
“Tammi watched our high energy 7 year old Australian Shepherd and was amazing! She was so communicative, easy to work with and flexible on pick up time when we hit some traffic coming back. Ollie loved staying with her and came home a very happy dog. We will definitely be asking Tammi to watch him again in the future!”
“Everything was amazing! First time using the app and will definitely rebook with Martha! Royce came home happy and went with her with ease. Martha sent updates and pictures the whole time which was so nice to see 🥰. Amazing experience for both Royce and I!”

“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.”
About: I’m Lauren—Keeper of Cats, Walker of Dogs, with 25 years of experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. My approach is quiet, steady, and respectful of each pet’s natural rhythm. Cats are my specialty. I’m comfortable with shy, senior, independent, or affectionate cats, and I follow their lead. I’ve handled medication, special diets, and slow‑paced routines with care. For dogs, I focus on gentle, unhurried walks and calm companionship while still providing full dog care—walks, feeding, playtime, and routine support. I’m a great fit for friendly, easygoing dogs who enjoy steady energy and consistent routines. Services include: • Cat visits, meds, litter care • Dog walks & drop‑ins • Overnights for cats or mellow dogs • Fish feeding • Thoughtful updates + photos If your pets prefer a peaceful presence and steady hands, I’d love to care for them.
“Ana was amazing from the very beginning. She set up a zoom meeting for introductions and confirmations on details about cares, preferences, etc. Ana took all of my concerns very seriously. When I was out of town and boarded my cat, Ana made sure to send me pictures every day. She even made sure to introduce our cats in a careful way. I knew my girl was in very good hands and I never had to worry about her. Thank you so much Ana! Will definitely use your services again!”
“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.
“Dustin is the best! He is so friendly, kind of like family so you feel comfortable leaving your family pet and can relax on vacation. He watched our cat for us and even sent pictures daily. Will definitely use him for our next get away.”
“Michelle was fantastic! She went above and beyond and somehow managed to somewhat gain the trust of my two extremely shy kitties in just the 4 days I was gone! I would highly recommend and I’ll be using her again if I go out of town in the future!”
“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.”
“Jazmin was a great pet sitter for my baby girls while I was away on a last minute business trip! She was super attentive and had excellent communication when she came to visit. Definitely recommend booking if you need someone to swing by for a few days!”
“Christina is fantastic! She is a wonderful communicator and she always goes above and beyond (even goes as far as sweeping the space around the litter box and bringing in packages from the front porch :)). She is my go-to for checking on my cats when I'm out of town. I highly recommend her!!”
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.
“So thankful for Kimberly. Thankfully she was able to take my buddy at the last minute. She took great care of him and gave regular updates. He really seemed to enjoy himself. Definitely recommend”
“Kelli did an excellent job every day! She sent daily photos, and my cats were relaxed and happy. She spent time with them. When I returned, they were at peace! The cat room was clean, and they were well-fed. I definitely will hire Kelli from now on. I have a possible upcoming weekend trip in October and November. I will be traveling in January and during spring break. For sure, I will be hiring Kelli next June/July/Aug 2026, when I go to Japan for three months for a class and a pilgrimage.”
“This was our first time using a cat sitter for our two cats, and Aicha was great! Kind and detail oriented. During our two week trip, Aicha sent updates and photos. It was a big help and relief.”

“I couldn't ask for more from a dog sitter. Marcie followed my instructions, provided a comfortable environment with positive stimulation, kept me updated with messages/pics and was just an overall pleasant person. Wonderful job!”
“I have used Manny for daycare on multiple occasions in recent weeks. I am an extremely neurotic pet parent and I always get nervous taking my dog to a new sitter. Manny went above and beyond in talking through my questions at length and asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s needs. My dog has done really well at Manny’s and I will be using his services 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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and love working with them. I’m a mountaineer meaning i love to be outdoors and go for walks and runs. I live in a great environment for pets and would make sure they are happy and safe. 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
“My wife is going to have surgery at UCDAVIS medical center. We did not have a place to take our dog. Bari made the process easy and welcoming. This was a huge relief because it took away the burden of the uncertainty of what to do with our dog. Bari also knew how to handle our dog with the other dogs even though she was fearful. All around we had a tremendous experience with Bari.”
About: Over the years I’ve cared for many dogs, including my own and for other dog families. I find joy in providing care for dogs at a high level. Making sure they’re fed well, are drinking quality water (distilled and purified) eating quality home made meals prepared with dog friendly seasonings such as light salt & pepper, turmeric, rosemary, basil, ginger. The basic meat provided as a meal will be boiled chicken. The premium meats will be steak or ground kobe/wagyu when available or the grass fed lean ground beef. The entree will change daily but will be human quality home made and delicious. I also believe in healthy snacks so dogs will be given safe fruits and vegetables to eat as snacks such as carrots, bell peppers, blueberries, raspberries, pear, apples (when in season) If you have a preference or requirement for your dog’s diet, please be sure to communicate this before they arrive for care to ensure I able to accommodate. Dogs will be housed in a kennel when they are idle, need to rest or sleep. They will have free roam access in our large backyard where I can keep an eye on them while I work from home. Dogs will need to be trained for friendliness with other dog friends to ensure a safe environment for all. WALKS! Included with care, dogs will get their walks once a day 🐾🩵 (Collar and Leash provided by dog persons, I do not have extra collars or leashes) I work from home during the week and have enough freedom to tend to dog’s needs throughout the day. My home office has a clear view of the backyard area where I can monitor the dogs easily. The freedom of my work day allows me to tend to dogs frequently through the the day. we keep our yard clean and safe for our pet and your pet will be safe too. our backyard entry has a gate that stays locked. Our neighborhood is a safe and quiet area near the Highway 50. The freeway wall is in our backyard which removes the worry of neighbors behind our home. The neighbors on each side of us are also friendly. Your pet will be housed in a kennel that is inside of our garage where they will sleep and spend some of their day when they aren’t out having play time in the backyard. When needed, fans or heaters will be used to keep dogs warm or cool depending on the weather conditions. *I recommend bringing either their small bed, blanket or both to ensure their comfort while being away from their person(s) or family. I don’t provide any toys for dogs to play with at the moment but I plan on offering the dogs an exercise circuit at some point in the near future.
“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.”
“Brandee provided fantastic care for our beagle. She is a good communicator and is super easy going. She sent photos of her daughter snuggling our dog, which sealed the deal. We’ll be back!”
“Amanda is fantastic! My boy, Dickson, absolutely loves going to her house for daycare. He has so much fun and is always pooped when he gets home. Amanda takes great care of him and sends lots of pictures and updates throughout his stays. I will definitely keep using Amanda for my dog sitting and boarding needs.”

I regularly take my dog on walks in the morning and evening with a couple of potty-breaks throughout the day. Cinder would love some company on her walks! We have a fenced yard they can go outside. We often take breaks to play and stretch in the house. There is easy access to water in the home.

“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’ve taken care of dogs belonging to friends and family since high school. I have a dog, two cats, an 11-year old bunny, and two fish tanks.

I have open availability, so I can walk your dog or drop in on your pets any time of day during the week and on weekends.

“Aichav took great care getting my little guy out for walks and sharing photos while I was out of town. So much that I’m using her again! Would definitely recommend :)”
About: I had dogs for my entire childhood and as an adult, I regularly volunteer at our local shelter to take shelter dogs out for the day to help socialize them, give them love, and to just give them a change of scenery. I would be honored to care for your fur baby! I currently work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, so I have very flexible availability those days so I can fit your pup’s needs. I work Tuesday through Thursday from 8am to 4:30pm, but am fully available afterwards. I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space for your pup to run around if needed. I am happy to board, so long as your pet is comfortable staying in the yard. We have rabbits in the home, so unfortunately we cannot have dogs indoors.

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).
About: I love DOGS! I have grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes! Much like some of our dogs, I also get a little mischievous when I get left home alone too long, so let my extra energy benefit you! I am happy to run your dog until they are completely tuckered out, or take a little jaunt around the block to keep our senior pets moving and grooving! Whatever you and your pets may need, I am happy to accommodate! Currently working part-time and studying to become a yoga instructor! I have a very open schedule and can be very flexible to suit your family's needs! Animal safety is always a top priority. Happy to send photos or videos of your pet during our visit so that you can relax knowing your pet and I have having a great time together!

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.
“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!”
“Cory is AMAZING! He did such a great job taking care of our anxious/obstinate girl. He really went the extra mile when caring for her and his communication is AWESOME. Would definitely recommend Cory!!”

“Bari is the best! I feel so comfortable when my dog is with her and the pup crew she walks. I can tell they are so loved and well taken care of. Bari treats the dogs like they are her own, she’s flexible, and has helped me out when I’m in a bind. The highlight of my day is getting the Rover pictures because I can see how happy Charlie is.”
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: I have walked and dog-sat numerous kinds of dogs throughout the past few years. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and dogs have always been easy for me to get along with. I have had neighbors and friends rely on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine. I plan my schedule around each pet’s specific needs to make sure they get consistent, quality care. I constantly prioritize pet care in my daily schedule so each pet receives proper attention. I am careful with each dog I look after and accommodate their needs whenever possible. I will spend extra time playing with them and giving them necessary attention. In any client's home, I respect their space while making sure their pet feels secure and cared for. I follow all instructions carefully—feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs—and I always provide regular updates with photos or messages so clients know their pet is doing great.
About: I have four pets a Chihuahua,Schnauzer, and 2 Huskies. They all bark a lot and I can control them. I taught them all their tricks like sit, stay, down, and more. I would love to take care of your pets. It would help if your dogs would not try to bite me or other pets. I used to volunteer at an animal rescue shelter for 4 years, worked with small tiny pups all the way up to senior dogs. I hope you let me take care of your pet. And if it is more than one pet that is fine. All I want is the love from a pet so I can cherish every moment with them. Thank you very much! I am currently working part time and a student but have plenty of time to spend some time with your pets easily fitting them into my routine. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I ensure the space is clean, pet-proofed, and free of hazards, with plenty of room for pets to relax and play comfortably. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions provided.

“Reginay watched my dog CeeCee I am definitely coming back again. Reginay kept in communication with me the whole time. She agreed to a meet and greet before she watched her. She is very sweet and professional the first time we met. I picked her before but didnt need her that time . She was very sweet and understanding thats why when i needed a sitter she wss the first person i contacted. Ceecee has very bad speration anxiety and this was my first time leaving her with someone she didnt know. I called and texted a million times she never missed not one call or text and made me feel at easy everytime. My dog also have pancreatitis She have a special diet she followed all food instructions i gave her .. Ceecee was smiling the whole time she was with her and she dont do that with anyone. Anything i asked her to do with CeeCee she always said "Sure, no problem" she is very good with communication and easy to talk to . She also have a dog Nova is so sweet and was also glad she was there to keep her company then another dog came over and it was a slumber party. She even took all three walking at once multiple times and took multiple pictures and videos with CeeCee smiling the whole time and let her sleep in her room with her which was amazing and when CeeCee needed her space from the other dogs she made sure she had it. Over all she was the perfect sitter .She made feel very comfortable with her watching CeeCee I am using her everytime I need a sitter. I would give her 100 stars if I could. She was the best! I couldnt ask for a better sitter. Thank you Reginay 😊.”
“Alexandra is a very caring and excellent addition to our beloved Bellas extended care! She sent us detailed updates and pics of our baby daily. We were incredibly impressed that she was able to successfully groom Bella. Bella has a long history of not being welcomed back for groomers due to her defensive and aggressive nature for many years. Shes informative, patient and responds so well to our babys grooming needs. Alexandra was able to successfully groom her! Shes definitely a grooming gangster! We highly recommend Alexandra as your go to for everything care dog needs. We will continue to use her services in the future!”
“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.”
“Michele took great care of my anxious dog while I was traveling for work. She sent updates and photos often, so I never had to worry. I would board with Michele again.”
“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”
“This was Lilo’s third stay at Marilee’s place! Ever since we found her, we have not taken Lilo anywhere else to petsit or board! We just know that Lilo is well cared for and loved when she stays over with Marilee. We love seeing all the picture updates Marilee sends us, not only does Lilo look like she’s having a good time, but it puts us at ease!”
“Achara was fantastic! She took great care of my dog for a whole week, and was very accommodating with my last-minute request and when plans had to change. I will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“We love staying with Catherine and her fur babies. Everyone is so well taken care of and ends their stay happy and relaxed. Kevin and DiDi love Catherine!”
“Tammi watched our high energy 7 year old Australian Shepherd and was amazing! She was so communicative, easy to work with and flexible on pick up time when we hit some traffic coming back. Ollie loved staying with her and came home a very happy dog. We will definitely be asking Tammi to watch him again in the future!”
“Sammie had a great stay with Marcie! We appreciated the pictures and updates while we were away. We will definitely book Marcie for dog sitting for future trips.”
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
“Nelly is amazing. We can’t express enough how much we love working with her as our trainer, and now also as a boarding option. She communicates well and provided updates throughout their stay. We are not from this state, so trusting someone with our fur babies is a huge deal, and Nelly is the only person we felt comfortable with. We trust she knows what she is doing as has explicitly shown this in every way possible. I would definitely recommend her to any one looking for someone to care for the pet or train them.”
“Phil and Jenny are caring compassionate individuals. Who treat your pet family member, with the same consideration. My puppy was treated and cared for, as though she was one of their pet family members. I plan to use them in the future!💕”
“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.”
“This was my first time being away from Tank and it was for 9 days and I am so glad I was able to connect with Jace for this! He took tank on adventures and was keeping me updated about tank which is what I really appreciated because I was out of the country. Leaving your dog with someone new is always nerve racking but now I know that I can trust Jace with Tank and also know that Tank is being well taken care of! I will be continuing to use Jace for all of Tank’s care for as long as he is available. Thank you, Jace!! Tank is my big, sweet baby and I know that he was in great hands surrounded by love!”
“They were so accommodating on such short notice. Gave Bodie the quiet space she needed on the final leg of her spay recovery. Received many updates along with photos. I don't think she wanted to leave when it was time to pick her up. Wonderful people and will definitely keep Marie & James in mind for next time. <3”
