“If I could leave 6 stars, I would. Amy and Justin were amazing watching my dog Chubbs for over a week. They have a great yard for dogs and dog bed all around their house - it is basically a resort for the doggos. The end of each day they sent over a bunch of photos with a recap of the day. I don’t think Chubbs wanted to leave!”
“Melissa was the perfect person to take care of our Sara. She had a great time with Melissa’s pups and family. She kept us informed on how Sara was doing each day. This was great for us as it was Sara’s first boarding experience. We know Sara had a blast!! Melissa thank you for welcoming Sara, Rich and I. We enjoyed you and meeting your family!! Hugs 🤗. Thank you.”
“We are so relieved to have a smart, reliable family... to watch our Haru when we're away. They kept me updated throughout Haru’s stay. We highly recommend Mike and Patricia!”
“Absolutely the BEST dog sitter for our 6 month old Kota. The photos and videos and updates daily made being apart while we were on vacation much more enjoyable. This was Kota’s first time away from us and I felt a bit guilty making him come home! Michelle made sure he had fun and got lots of socializing with other pups she was watching. Swimming in the kiddie pool was definitely a highlight! So much playtime meant afternoon naps where he snored. We will definitely be checking to make sure Michelle can welcome Kota back before we book our next vacation.”
“This is my second time using Rover and I couldn't be happier! I'm pretty sure Tucker didn't even want to come home after his stay at Walee's. He had an absolute blast running around her huge yard with her dog Ike. As I type this, Tucker is still sleeping on the couch after a solid 3 hour nap. I would absolutely recommend Walee to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog!”
“Patti and her husband took great care of my puppy! I was updated with pictures and videos the whole time. I felt at ease knowing Tilly was in such safe and caring hands❤️”
“Ruchi and Nitin are amazing. Henderson was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Excellent communication and very reliable. Would absolutely recommend and rebook!”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“Irina is experienced. She had a plan ready for acclimating my dogs to their new environment and handled having multiple dogs together well. She was communicative and flexible.”
“Sharon and Henry were absolutely amazing! They are extremely caring and went above and beyond to make sure Tony felt at home. They sent plenty of pictures and updates, which really helped ease my anxiety — I didn’t have a single moment of concern the entire time. It was clear Tony enjoyed his stay and was showered with love and attention. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for truly thoughtful and reliable care!”
“Barbara and family was very kind and welcoming to my dog. She asked all the questions that made me feel like my girl was going to be well taken care of even to the extent of switching her sleeping habits to my dog’s. I highly recommend! Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”
“Debbie is the best!! We recently lost our long time dog sitter and were anxious about leaving our senior dog with GI issues and anxiety with someone new while we left town for a few days with limited cell service. Lila didn’t even want to come home when we picked her up!! She was very comfortable with Lila’s needs, sent us updates and was flexible on pickup time. I’ve used a lot of dog sitters in my time and she is one of the best!! So competent, communicative and a true animal lover. Thank you Debbie!!”
“We will definitely be asking Cassidy to watch Chelly again!!! She came back so happy (and tired!) from all the walking, playing and getting pampered. Cassidy was so great about introducing our girl to her girl and made sure ours felt comfortable (she can be very needy) before we went away for a whole week. Cassidy's professionalism and sweet nature made our family feel completely secure in knowing she was in great hands while we were away.”
“Alyssa was great to work with, and our dog was immediately comfortable at her home. Alyssa is patient, welcoming, and very easygoing. I felt completely comfortable leaving my senior dog with her. She handled his medications well, kept him safe and happy, and sent regular updates and pics. She is caring and has an amazing yard for dogs to play and explore safely. I brought home a happy boy! I highly recommend Alyssa!”
About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
“Sara took amazing care of our three Brittany dogs. They had fun playing on her beautiful property and were very comfortable in the house with her. She sent us frequent updates and photos showing them happily sniffing around and relaxing. We are so grateful to have a safe place for the dogs to stay when we leave town.”
“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”

She was super consistent with timing, and had great communication, send pictures daily. She is someone I trust in my home.”
“Elaine’s care of our sweet two young kitties was truly wonderful. We received the most thoughtful lovely updates regularly with photos. She brushed and cuddled them and even cleaned them before we picked them up. I felt totally at peace and happy to have my precious two in her care. I am so grateful I found her and we will be back soon!”
“Justin is easy to work with and a great communicator. We appreciated that he got back to us right away to confirm his availability and provided twice daily updates on our dogs. We won’t hesitate to recommend him to our friends and neighbors. Thanks Justin!”
“Maddy was our first Rover sitter for our 2 cats. Both are easy and just need to be fed and our tabby likes to have some attention. Maddy was consistent with her visits and we appreciated that and communicated when she needed to adjust her visit time. We have another booking with Maddy in the coming week.”
About: I don’t have much experience with taking care of cats. Most of my friends do own cats and so always hang out with them. I have volunteered at Fat Kitty City where there are a multitude of cats that I feed.
“Amanda was great with our super shy kitty. He even came out of hiding! A first for any sitter we’ve had. I highly recommend Amanda. She’s kind, caring and attended to every detail. Thank you so much! Tracy & Taylor”
“Just wanted to leave a special review for Stephanie! She really is a great person in general! And what a special kitty sitter☺️she really went over and above. You know leaving your fur babies with someone you don’t know is hard but we really scored with Stephanie! Such a blessing💜Will definitely use her again and again and so should you🫶🏽”
“Irina is a dream caretaker for our animals! She came to feed our cat and goats and give water to our chickens, and she was so attentive and detail oriented. She also managed to wrangle our goats back into their pasture after they escaped before she got there which was such a huge help while we’re out of town! We always love getting help from her.”
“Adrianne did a great job with our kitty! She responded right away when we reached out to her, came over for a meet and greet and was very professional. She took good care of our cat and gave us updates while we were gone.”

“Elaine, treated Cruz like one of her own. She gave her lots of love and attention. Cruz had such a great time with her and her pups that she didn’t want to leave each day, and was ecstatic going back each morning. Elaine provided us with great pics and detailed updates. So thankful to know that Cruz had a wonderful week of daycare with her!!”
“Alexa provided such a wonderful Rover experience. She's a great communicator, very attuned to a pet's care instructions, and I came back to find my pup so relaxed and happy with her. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with her, thank you Alexa!”
About: Growing up, I always had a dog. In addition to the traditional Golden, I also loved exotic pets. Some friends from my childhood will still occasionally ask me, "what kind of weird pet do you have these days?" My husband and I were adventurous before settling down and starting our family so we decided not to jump into pet ownership until more recently. Now after having kids, we want to make sure that we are all fully ready to jump back into the long term commitment of pet ownership. In the meantime though, I have a lot of love to share and I would adore hosting your pet. My home is in town but offers nearly a half acre of fenced in yard space. I am happy to keep your pet indoors, outdoors, or a mix. Whatever you and your pet prefer, I can accommodate. I work from home and can give your pet lots of attention throughout the day. Please feel free to call me, swing by for a tour, and feel comfortable knowing that your treasured family member(s) is safe here with me. I work from home and am available every day, all day, to meet your pet's needs. I have a large fenced backyard for potty breaks and play time. You will not need to worry about your dog's safety or getting along with other animals while away from your care because I will only host one dog family at a time. I will be happy to send you picture update each day with a report of how your friend is doing while you are away. Rest easy that your animal is being loved and cared for the way you would while you are gone.
“Bella has stayed with Amy &Justin now twice. And I am absolutely thrilled. She’s very relaxed when I pick her up so I know she had a good experience. Amy &Justin are a great team and communicate well. Bella loves kids so I’m sure she gets lots of love from their children. I feel such a relief finding Amy &Justin. They live close to me and they treat my dog like family. What more can you ask?”
“Michelle was great with my dog Oakley! I was so thankful she was able to take him on short notice and accommodate whatever we needed... Her house is on a large property that's fully enclosed and in a beautiful gated community in the hills. Whether you have a big dog that loves to run around and interact with other friendly animals or a small dog that prefers to spend time inside close to people, Michelle's house is an awesome place for pets! My dog has major separation anxiety, but instead of stressing out like he normally does when he knows I'm leaving him, Oakley immediately settled in and started exploring the property with one of her dogs right after we got there! I could tell from Michelle's updates and photos that Oakley was really enjoying his time there and felt comfortable he would be well taken care of if he needed to stay even longer in the future. The location of her house turned out to be really convenient and close to where I was going, but even if I'm further away the next time I'm in town and need a sitter, I know that Michelle will be our first choice for sure!”
“We met Irina for the first time and she watched our pup, Toby, for the day. She was super kind and communicative, and shared photos of him making friends with other dogs, which we really appreciated. Toby had a great time, and we felt totally comfortable leaving him in her care. I highly recommend her services!”
“We were visiting Folsom for a birthday party and left our Pomeranian with Shannon for about 4 hours so we wouldn't have to worry about Belle getting fed by the kids and all. It was so nice to be able to relax while Belle hung out with Shannon and some other dogs! All went well and we got a few videos of Belle! Shannon was very good at communicating with us.”
“Henry and Sharon have been amazing dog sitters for my 7month old puppy Bodhi. They watch him for puppy daycare one day weekly. They are very communicative and reliable and make sure they understand your dog’s personality and care needs so they can make it a comfortable and positive stay. We had a meet and greet with their dog Rufus prior to setting up daycare and Bodhi and Rufus play very well together. They always send a Rover card documenting how the day went with photos and potty breaks. They even go above and beyond and give Bodhi mental enrichment with puzzles and healthy treats. Thank you Sharon and Henry for taking such good care of my little boy!”
“Michelle and Dave are amazing! I knew I had found the perfect sitters within minutes. Truly dog lovers. My three year old Pom Chi has never had day care, she loves them! I highly recommend them!”
“Robert is fabulous!! I came to the area for a one month contract job. While driving across country, my 15 year old Chihuahua was grabbed by a big dog and was injured. Dixie could barely walk and had to go to two ERs along the way for care. Being under contract I HAD to start working and couldn't leave her alone or with other pets. I found Robert who happens to be between dogs. He was perfect. Cared for her with her unique needs of having to be picked up and even gave her the medicine she needed during the day. I got reassuring pics and was so relieved to find such a loving place to leave my "special needs" pup. Thank God for Rover and for Robert!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was my childhood cat, who I got when I was 2 years old and who lived with me for 17 wonderful years before crossing the rainbow bridge. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and a passion for caring for them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for many different types of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and more. I currently have two Dobermans and a kitty of my own. I recently moved to a 2 acre property, which has been amazing for training and working with my dogs, they’re truly thriving with the space and lifestyle they deserve. To me, pets are family, and I always strive to give them the best care, attention, and love possible. I’ve also rescued and fostered kittens in need, helping them find safe and loving forever homes. Caring for animals genuinely brings me happiness, and having them in my life has always been incredibly fulfilling. I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I already care for my own animals every day. At my home, pets have access to a large, secure fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also have spacious fenced in kennels available if needed for safety, rest time, or individual comfort. Pets are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and cared for in a clean, calm environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routines, instructions, and house rules to help pets feel comfortable and stress free in their familiar environment. I like to check in with pet parents often, sending pictures and updates to give them peace of mind while their pets are in my care.
“Highly recommend. Nanci IS the 'dog whisperer'. She was able to sense all of my dog's needs (good and bad), and made her stay comfortable, enjoyable and safe. My dog suffers from separation anxiety, and Nancy took extra care to give her plenty of lap time. I received lots of great updates, photos and videos. Can't get enough of those, and Nanci has a wonderful photographer's eye. Can you really tell that Nanci has years and years of experience, which helped this anxious mom to feel confident. And the icing? Nanci (and her whole human and furry pack) are super friendly and nice to be around.”
“Candace is an expert as a dog sitter. It is the first time for Haru to be with daycare. Haru does enjoy his stay, had lots of fun with candance’s two dogs. Also enjoy reading. Haru is very happy at the end,he does not even want to leave when I picked up him. Candace did a good job :)”
About: I have been actively taking care of pets my whole life. I love animals and treat them like my own children. I have a 10 year old daughter who is on her way to become a vet and wife who loves pets just as much! I work from home and can accommodate your schedule at anytime needed. I would be happy to make sure that your pet has the best experience. I have a fully fenced yard on a quiet street. I allow pets to use any furniture they would like to make themselves a home
About: I grew up with Afghan hounds, so dogs have been a part of my life forever. We adopted our first rescue, Jazzy, in 2015. We have adopted adult cats and kittens. I usually remember pet names before I remember human names when I meet somebody new. I can do in-home boarding for a cat or small dog/puppy if they can get along with our kitten. Otherwise I can come to your home and tuck your fur babies in and greet them early in the morning. Please reach out to discuss. During the day, I am available to walk your dog, feed and play with your pets, and provide all kinds of TLC. Call me! I'm currently building a business as a realtor. I grew up in Southern California, and lived in Alabama for 21 years, where I was a French professor. I moved to El Dorado Hills in 2023 to be near family. Four generations of my family, from my mom down to my four-year-old grandson, live in the Sacramento area. I love pets, and I'd love to help you with yours when you're on the road. I work with clients to provide the kind of customized care that their pet needs. I know pets have all personality types. Some like cuddles, some do not. We are there for your pets needs, whatever they may be.
“Nicole is amazing!! My puppy Nelly had so much fun staying with Nicole and her pup Bear! I really appreciated the photo updates of my pup! I could see he was so comfortable there, he loved going on walks, and playing with all the toys. We will definitely be booking with Nicole again. Highly recommend!”

“Lauren helped us out with a last minute booking. We instantly felt very comfortable with her and she was great with our dog. Punctual and great communication. We will definitely book her again.”
“Dorothy was wonderful! She was friendly, reliable, and took great care of Daisy during her walks. Daisy was always excited to see her each day and clearly enjoyed getting out for exercise and plenty of time to sniff and explore. It gave us peace of mind knowing Daisy was in such caring hands. We definitely would recommend Dorothy for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”
“Cole was amazing with our beagle puppy, Cowboy. Cole was super communicative and friendly, and he took Cowboy on a long walk at the nearby dog park. Cole has dogs of his own, so he has a wealth of knowledge on how to train and take care of our dog. Would highly recommend Cole!”
“Irina is super kind and easygoing! She made sure my little dog Chester was taken care of, and even went the extra mile to drive him to a shaded park for his walk. I loved getting pictures of his happy face! :)”
“Extraordinarily personable, accepting and supportive of our hyper and high octane pup. By the time the four visits had passed Elaine succeeded in gaining our pups trust. In only took one visit for us. We have our future #1 choice for all care moving forward in Elaine.”

About: I have taken care of pups in multiple different capacities since I was 18. From taking care of older dogs (giving them meds, changing diapers,etc) to watching puppies and helping potty train them. I have always loved dogs, but that love grew so much more when my husband and I got our Corgi-Australian Shepherd pup 3 years ago.

If you choose me, I will make sure to not only follow your instructions but make your pup feel loved, so that you can enjoy your day and not be worried.

About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember!

I’m comfortable administering medications, supporting pets with disabilities, and managing minor behavioral challenges. If something comes up that I am not comfortable handling, I'll speak up! I know my limits and choose not to push them to ensure the safety of all the animals in my care. My days revolve around the dogs in my care! I work from home and plan my schedule so they get plenty of attention, supervised playtime, and loving care. I want every animal who I care for to feel as comfortable and confident as possible. I try my best to keep their routine in tact while providing love and enrichment to their lives while you're away!

“If I could leave 6 stars, I would. Amy and Justin were amazing watching my dog Chubbs for over a week. They have a great yard for dogs and dog bed all around their house - it is basically a resort for the doggos. The end of each day they sent over a bunch of photos with a recap of the day.

Thank you.”
“Absolutely the BEST dog sitter for our 6 month old Kota. The photos and videos and updates daily made being apart while we were on vacation much more enjoyable. This was Kota’s first time away from us and I felt a bit guilty making him come home! Michelle made sure he had fun and got lots of socializing with other pups she was watching. Swimming in the kiddie pool was definitely a highlight! So much playtime meant afternoon naps where he snored. We will definitely be checking to make sure Michelle can welcome Kota back before we book our next vacation.”
“This is my second time using Rover and I couldn't be happier! I'm pretty sure Tucker didn't even want to come home after his stay at Walee's. He had an absolute blast running around her huge yard with her dog Ike. As I type this, Tucker is still sleeping on the couch after a solid 3 hour nap. I would absolutely recommend Walee to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog!”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“Irina is experienced. She had a plan ready for acclimating my dogs to their new environment and handled having multiple dogs together well. She was communicative and flexible.”
“Debbie is the best!! We recently lost our long time dog sitter and were anxious about leaving our senior dog with GI issues and anxiety with someone new while we left town for a few days with limited cell service. Lila didn’t even want to come home when we picked her up!! She was very comfortable with Lila’s needs, sent us updates and was flexible on pickup time. I’ve used a lot of dog sitters in my time and she is one of the best!! So competent, communicative and a true animal lover. Thank you Debbie!!”
“We will definitely be asking Cassidy to watch Chelly again!!! She came back so happy (and tired!) from all the walking, playing and getting pampered. Cassidy was so great about introducing our girl to her girl and made sure ours felt comfortable (she can be very needy) before we went away for a whole week. Cassidy's professionalism and sweet nature made our family feel completely secure in knowing she was in great hands while we were away.”
About: I have always had a pet dog throughout my life, so being around dogs feels natural to me. Taking care of them has been part of my daily routine, from feeding and walking them to making sure they are happy and healthy. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand their behavior and needs, which has helped me build a strong connection with them. Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I work from home and love the challenge of some dogs. I wake up at 5 and feed my own dog and do some work. After I usually take him out for walks through the day. I walk him about 2 miles and can also walk your own dog, just tell me and I can do it. I can also follow any strict dietary restrictions if your dogs requires it for food. After around 3 I am free and spend time with my dogs all day after and chill with him beside me. But, if your dogs requires sheds a lot, I can’t promise he will be sleeping with me or be laying on the couch, I have a specialized ginormous dog bed for he/she. I live in El Dorado Hills, so it is very hilly in some areas, including my home. I have a big dog kennel outside that is surrounded by a fence, while I have a large dog cage inside my house that can also be used. I also have a area for the dogs to run and play in my backyard.
“Sara took amazing care of our three Brittany dogs. They had fun playing on her beautiful property and were very comfortable in the house with her. She sent us frequent updates and photos showing them happily sniffing around and relaxing. We are so grateful to have a safe place for the dogs to stay when we leave town.”
“Thank you to Michelle and David for watching Clover for the weekend. Clover got to sleep on a bed (instead of in her crate‐ yes, it was okayed!) and had a doggy friend her age to run around with. I think she enjoyed herself!”
About: Growing up, I always had a dog. In addition to the traditional Golden, I also loved exotic pets. Some friends from my childhood will still occasionally ask me, "what kind of weird pet do you have these days?" My husband and I were adventurous before settling down and starting our family so we decided not to jump into pet ownership until more recently. Now after having kids, we want to make sure that we are all fully ready to jump back into the long term commitment of pet ownership. In the meantime though, I have a lot of love to share and I would adore hosting your pet. My home is in town but offers nearly a half acre of fenced in yard space. I am happy to keep your pet indoors, outdoors, or a mix. Whatever you and your pet prefer, I can accommodate. I work from home and can give your pet lots of attention throughout the day. Please feel free to call me, swing by for a tour, and feel comfortable knowing that your treasured family member(s) is safe here with me. I work from home and am available every day, all day, to meet your pet's needs. I have a large fenced backyard for potty breaks and play time. You will not need to worry about your dog's safety or getting along with other animals while away from your care because I will only host one dog family at a time. I will be happy to send you picture update each day with a report of how your friend is doing while you are away. Rest easy that your animal is being loved and cared for the way you would while you are gone.
“Thank you so much Maisy for taking care of our pup over the weekend! We knew he was in excellent hands and reassured that he was receiving so much love from your family. We will definitely contact you for future bookings!!”
“Sandra took amazing care of our golden retriever. She has a perfect set up for doggie care. She is caring and attentive. I highly recommend her and will definitely leave our dog with her again when we go out of town.”
“Belle came home happy and exhausted from her stay with Jena and family. I know she received a lot of love and attention and daily exercise, and that’s exactly what Belle needs, when she’s away from home. Jena was great about sending updates and photos and she was very patient and understanding when Belle had tummy and sleep issues.”
“Derek and his family were so hospitable to Winnie. They sent many pictures and were very responsive with any questions asked. This was my first time using rover and Derek and I will definitely use their services again.”
“Greg is a natural… he took great care of our 16 year old dog - lots of walks and extra attention. He was also super consistent about giving us updates with pictures and info. Glad we found him and won’t hesitate to call on him again. Thanks Greg!!!”
