“It felt so great to leave our girl with them! They were responsive, sent lots of updates, and gave her so much attention while we were away! Can’t stress enough how much more enjoyable our night away with our daughter was knowing Sophie was well taken care of by people who care! Will book again 😊”
“Meeka first met Grant and his dogs at a meet and greet and she loved it there. She was very excited when we returned for the actual stay. While we were gone about a week, Grant faithfully sent us pictures and updates about how she was doing. We were very comforted to know she was having a blast running around the property with her new friends and well taken care of by Grant. We would highly recommend Grant and we will definitely take her there again.”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
“Ruby does a great job and communicates well. The pictures and videos sent daily are wonderful. I would recommend Ruby for dog care and we hope to use Ruby’s service again on future needs.”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”
“Sarah (and her wonderful daughters) went above and beyond caring for our fur babies! Leaving your pets behind is always tough, but Sarah made it completely worry-free. She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent the sweetest photo updates that totally brightened our days. Our dogs absolutely adored her and her family—they looked so incredibly happy, relaxed, and loved in every single picture. It is such a relief to find a sitter who truly treats your pets like their own. Sarah is reliable, communicative, and exceptionally kind. We cannot recommend her highly effects and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Alesya was wonderful and so kind! I felt comforted knowing Charm would be in her care for 3 days. Charm came back worn out! So I know he had a great time! Thank you Alesya!”
“Two weeks with Elisabeth and my little wild child came back a well behaved dog! How does she do it? Great communication, great experience and will DEFINITELY book again!”
“They’re just the sweetest couple and so great with Bentley and they sent me updates and just cared for him and loved on him so much and I am so grateful that they were able to do last minute overnight care. I couldn’t recommend them enough! They were so communicative and they were amazing from start to finish and so accommodating, and I honestly couldn’t think of more great things to say”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Kelsey! From the moment we met, it was clear how much they truly love and understand dogs. I immediately felt comfortable, and I got regular updates with photos that put my mind completely at ease. Communication was excellent — quick responses, detailed updates, and genuine care in every message. Kelsey went above and beyond, making sure my two high energy doodles were happy and comfortable the entire stay. Definitely recommend.”
“Lilly seemed to have a great stay with Samantha. Lilly had fun running around, chasing tennis balls and a frisbee and even decided to take a plunge in the kiddie pool. Samantha was great about sending us updates and pictures of Lilly’s stay. Thank you Samantha for everything!”
“Emily and her husband were great. I ended up stuck in Reno due to a fire and them closing I-80 so I texted Emily and explained my situation and Emily was great she had no problems keeping Bo for another day. She sent me pics and videos of Bo having a great time at her house with her dogs. I was afraid Bo wouldnt want to come home with me cuz he was having such a good time. Which wasn't the case Bo was happy to see me when I picked him up, but im sure he is going to miss Emily and her family.”
“This is my first timing using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with the service Yan provided. My dog is recovering from a neck wound and Yan took great care of her. Yan took her on long walk everyday and Beibei loved them! Will not hesitate to book Yan again!”
“Nicole and Jarrod were very communicative and our pup seemed to really enjoy his stay. He is a nervous dog, but he was calm and happy when we picked him up. That tells us a lot about how well he was cared for. Will definitely book with them again!”

“Remi is a wonderful care taker. After our initial meeting, I knew she was the right person to care for my senior dog. She even visited with my gecko. Remi will be my go-to person for future needs. I strongly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of my cat since he was a kitten and now, he's almost 15. Minor health issues as expected, yet still alive and kicking it! He is my number one companion, very close bond. I have trained him to use the potty outside so no need to clean the litterbox as often as he goes to the door. He is given ear drops 3x weekly and taught him to not fight the baths!
About: I am a true cat person through and through. With three cats of my own, I understand better than most that cats are sensitive, intelligent, and wonderfully complex creatures. I love nothing more than gaining a cat's trust, it means everything when they finally come around! I treat every cat I care for with the patience, respect, and gentleness they deserve, honoring their independence while making sure they feel secure and loved while you are away.
About: I currently have a 7 year old cat who is like our child. I also grew up with a cat (that was with me for 20 years!). But my real love for cats started when I started working in animals hospitals, and I discovered that I have a knack for handling the more temperamental/fractious cats. Winning over a shy/scared cat is so rewarding (and takes patience). I am able to give medications if/when needed, but mostly I just want to cuddle them 💜
“Sienna took amazing care of my kitties for the weekend and made me feel super relaxed and comfortable. My cats are very shy but she got them out of their shells the first day with her attentiveness and care. Sienna did an excellent job communicating throughout the weekend and sent me a ton of pictures of my cats which made me so happy! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone- you can really tell she cares deeply for animals.”
“Isabella arrived right on time for Mazie’s drop-in walk and kept me updated throughout. She was attentive and communicative, and best of all, she sent photos from their time together—I loved seeing Mazie enjoying the outing. Isabella clearly cares about the dogs in her care. Mazie was happy when she got home. Couldn’t ask for better. Will definitely book again!”
“Mikhaila was the best. Kept us informed the whole time and sent some of the cutest pictures of her visits. Communicates very well throughout the whole process. I felt very safe leaving her to care for my fur baby. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have a special love for caring for cats—their independent yet affectionate nature is something I deeply respect. I take the time to build trust gently, honor their boundaries, and tune into their unique personalities. Whether your cat is shy and needs a quiet presence, or social and playful, I provide attentive care that includes feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and cozy companionship. I create a calm, low-stress environment so your feline friend feels safe, seen, and loved while you’re away.
“Maryjane was great! She stepped in when an emergency forced my other sitter to end the stay early and she picked up the care for my cat without missing a beat! My cat clearly loved her, too. He was happy and well fed, and my apartment looked great when I got home! I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care and been around cats since I was little. I’m extremely in tune with their quirks and reading what they’re okay and not okay with. I’ve had 6 of my own cats, male and female. I know how to give oral medications and injections.
About: Most recently have worked last couple years at dog boarding ranch - I love keeping dogs happy, active, and healthy. All sizes and needs welcome! I'm very flexible with scheduling! I currently enjoy lots of free time and love taking on new pets to make my days even more enjoyable. Completely at your service! Whether its dog walking, home sitting, or drop-ins, I treat every pup like it's my own. I genuinely ensure the wellbeing of every single pet in my care and will respect any individual needs or preferences of the owner.
“My kitties were so happy with Jillian they were sad when she left. Sunny and Shadow had shiny coats from brushing. She fed them lots of tests at night. She sent many updates through the day depicting their walkabouts around the property. I felt like I was there with my cats at home from all the updates! I would highly recommend her services if are feeling nervous about leaving your home and fur babies. She was compassionate and was professional with her communication. I am so happy my cats had a friend to cuddle with while I was away. 😃”
About: I grew up with a family of people and pets. I have always loved animals and always will. Often times my parents would leave the house for a get away. I am an only child so it would always be up to me to watch what was a big part of my life 2 cats and 2 dogs. It was something that was so natural to me being I grew up doing and my parents always trusted me with the duty. As of the moment I live alone with no pets and being lonely, would love to spend some quality time with a furry companion being I'm not allowed to own a pet in the apartment where I live. I have experience with both dogs and cats, small dogs, big dogs or any cat. Thanks.
About: Not only do I have 10 years of experience of pet sitting, I have experience working with shelter dogs. I’ve been with Placer SPCA as a volunteer for many years. I work with fearful, excitable, shy and even reactive dogs on a weekly basis. I make sure to give them the best care I can provide. I have plenty of free time and my shelter schedule is very flexible! I spend most of my time caring for pets or working with animals. I am someone that you can contact last minute for pet sitting! I will make sure that your pet gets all the love, care and attention your best friend could possibly need. I provide mostly overnight care, in which I make sure your pup is cared for in the same way you do every day. Building trust is very important to me, I’ll make sure to send pictures of your dog (or other animals) along with a report of how they are doing and any other info you may need.

“Sienna provided a quick response to my booking request, and was willing to take my dog on short notice. She has a large yard, and clean pet friendly home for him to enjoy during his stay. I have complete confidence in her ability to take care of my pet, and I look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Their home and property is fantastic. My dog smiled every minute she was there. I would give Linda and her husband 10 🌟 if I could! My Ruby was treated with genuine loving ❤️ care...”
“Olena was super sweet and great with my dog. Had a previous bad experience with Rover so refreshing to have someone great with dogs. My dog never eats at a strangers and ate while staying with Olena so she’s family!! Thank you for giving him a wonderful place to stay!!”
“Malia was so awesome with my two older dogs. She treated them like they were her own. She has an adorable daughter and family around and it’s a beautiful property. My dogs were very spoiled to get to spend time with her and her family. Highly recommend! Her place is super easy to find and closer to Colfax. It was eight minute drive from my Airbnb and super convenient. She is very responsive and such a lovely person.”
About: I have cared for and loved animals since I was a little girl. I was raised in a house with dogs of all types and have continued to have them in my life. I have two rescues, a 6-lb sweet female chihuahua and a 30-lb shy male terrier mix, that love to be around other dogs but who also are submissive to and respect other dogs’ needs for their own space. Having been a zookeeper and vet tech, I have worked on training various critters, as well as cared for elderly animals that need special attention or medications. I work from home with my husband full time and we are always ready for fur baby snuggles on our couch and bed. We also live near a canal and trails, so dog walks are very frequent in our home. Because we live farther away, we are also willing to come do pickups to keep you from having to drive to us, but we understand completely wanting to see where your pups are staying. I work from home nearly full time except Tuesdays, but my husband is home full time everyday. I am an early riser and can do early walks/pickup/potty breaks. As we are working on house projects due to this being a new and first home purchase, we are home a ton on the weekends too. If I am staying at your home, I can arrange to be there constantly because my husband is home to care for my pups. I don’t have a fenced yard, but live very close to a dog park that is fenced. I also have a canal trail right off my driveway and we walk our two dogs on it all the time. My two babies are extremely sweet and friendly with other dogs. I am an extremely tidy and organized person, so whether your pup stays with me or I come to your home, I can guarantee I will always leave things as good or better than I found them. Also, if you have any last-minute travel issues, I can almost always adapt to host longer to make sure you don’t have to stress about what will happen to your pup.
“Shout to Stephen for providing responsive and professional care to my 4yo labradoodle Gracie. Stephen is patient and kind to Gracie and all her personalities, so we rely on him for weekly daycare which involves early drop offs, updates throughout care, and late pickups. Stephen responds quickly and is happy to help so hit him up for inquiries.”
“Nicole and Jarrod are great, they always send lots of pictures and my pup always comes back tired and is excited to see them again. I can feel good about leaving my baby with them”
About: I have worked at a doggy day care that serviced over a 100 dogs and 30 cats at a time. As a kennel tech, I took care of the animals. I played with them, gave them enrichment, training, ect. I have 1 year experience selling pet food. I learned a lot about dog and cat diets and food sources. Currently i'm available 24/7. This is what I do full time. So the animal will have 24/7 attention. Special circumstances will apply, weekend adventures or what not. Anytime is negotiable. Every animal will be treated as my own. Dogs will sleep in the house. We have 1 acre to run around on in the day. I'll be here all day.
About: Hi there! I’m Barr, a wife and mother with a lifelong love for animals. We have a sweet 15-year-old Jack Russell named Indie, and I honestly can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet. Animals have always been a huge part of our family, and our compassion for them is one of the reasons we chose a vegan lifestyle. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets and supporting their health and well-being. As a mom, I’m now looking to earn a little extra income while doing something that truly matters to me—spending time with and caring for animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to start doing this and would be perfect for any spontaneous short or long trips! I have a spacious backyard, but unfortunately, it’s not fenced. To keep our dog, Indie, who is incredibly friendly with all animals, safe, I usually take them for three walks each day. We shower her with cuddles and treats from my husband, our baby girl and I each and every day ☺️
“Logan is great. We are really lucky to have her and two dogs to play with our 1.5 yr old puppy. Logan is very attentive and caring. Lots of photos with love and happiness. Cedar is now taking a nap while we’re having a road trip, thank you Logan! 🥰”
“Oh my goodness, out of the many different sitters we have worked with on Rover, Pam is by far the best we have ever encountered. That is to say that the care that she and her husband provided our nervous little puppy was 100% perfectly suited to his needs. No competing dogs, no high energy little kids to amp our puppy’s nervous energy into high gear. Perfectly calm home environment that is perfectly suited for anyone who has a high energy dog or puppy that needs calm spaces to remind them how to act calmly. So very grateful for the care Rocky received in this “daycare””
“Secret has been awesome with Spartacus! I get updates on how he’s doing while I’m at work, I know he’s getting lots of love and attention while I’m away! Will absolutely be booking again!”
About: A Lifetime of Loving Pets 🐾 I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and understanding their unique personality , routine, and needs. As a pet owner myself, I also understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind when you travel. You want to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering if they’re okay. That’s why I provide the same level of care I would want for my own pets-attentive, dependable,personalized, and genuinely loving. I understand the importance of quick updates and photos to put your mind at ease. I commit to sending you a morning and evening photo and update each day. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your pets is in caring hands and receiving quality care while you’re away. You should be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy, safe, and exceptionally well cared for. ❤️ I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, hands on care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s keeping their normal routine, taking dogs out for walks and playtime, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m able to be present and attentive rather than a quick visit-they get genuine companionship and consistent care throughout the day. Safety, Trust & Comfort 🐾 I take your pets safety and well-being seriously. I’m careful about following your instructions, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they’re comfortable in their environment. I believe the little things matter-secure doors and gates, keeping food and medications properly managed, being aware of your pets surroundings, and paying attention to changes in their behavior or routine. Most importantly, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. I want you to feel confident knowing that while you’re away, someone responsible and attentive is looking after what matters to you most.

About: Hi! My name is Faith. I have been caring for dogs for several years and grew up in a home that always had a couple of dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets while they're away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I pride myself on being dependable, responsible, and communicative, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I will treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. I am getting a job in a couple weeks! I will be working part-time with some extra shifts if I have the time. I am home a good majority of the day as well. I have a big yard. It is fenced. I would prefer to take care of the dog in the client's home. So the dog stays in its environment.
About: I’ve always had a passion for animals and love spending time with them. My entire life I’ve always had dogs and cats. My first best friend was a cocker spaniel named bear that spent everyday with me. Any of my friends or family will tell you that I am obsessed with dogs and animals in general. Growing up all my neighbors always had me take care of their pets when they would go out of town because they could trust me and knew I’d enjoy doing so. I have a 3 year old white German Shepard puppy that loves to play all the time and she loves other dogs. She is very friendly and a big dog but very obedient and well trained, she would never hurt another dog. I’d love to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I live in foresthill on an acre with a fenced portion of the yard with room for your dog to play :) Please note: I usually do not accept booking requests more than a couple months out as I do not know what our schedule is yet. Also, I only provide dog sitting and dog boarding services at my own home. I am usually home all the time and I work from home. I can provide lots of attention and frequent potty breaks for your dog. Our property is an acre and part of our yard is fenced. I am home most of the time but if I need to leave to run errands, I will need to crate your dog for their safety as I do not know how they will react at home alone.
About: I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, starting from a very young age. Today I share my home with 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 pet rat. I completely understand the worry that comes with leaving your pet in someone else's hands, which is why I treat every animal as if they were my own. Responsible, patient, and gentle by nature, I have a deep love for all animals Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available for drop-in visits and walks Monday through Friday between 9am and 3pm, and I also offer evening availability throughout the week. I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so that every pet I care for gets the time and attention they deserve. During every drop-in visit I make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I will take dogs out for a walk, spend quality playtime with both your dogs and/or cats, refresh their food and water, and clean up any messes they may have made while you were away. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, leaving things just as I found them
About: I will take care of your pet as if they were my own! I know how difficult it is to trust someone else with your pet.

One of us is always home and available for your pet. Your pet gets the VIP treatment, they will cozy up with us by the fire place, go on long walks and get plenty of play time
About: In addition to caring for my own pets—including one dog and two cats—I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. My experience includes in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits for feedings, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention and playtime to keep pets happy and comfortable. I work from home full time, so I’m able to have your pets hang out with me, or drop in for feedings, potty breaks, walks and attention/play time to keep your fur babies happy while you’re gone. I have a double fenced yard for potty breaks, and have two dogs (cocker spaniel & small mixed Havanese/Shitsu - both female) and a yellow tabby to keep your fur baby company. If your doggie doesn’t like/do well with cats, we have plenty of space to keep them separated- just let me know in advance. Living in the mountains, we rarely let our dogs out unattended and would extend the same precaution to your animals (unless they prefer being outside). I’m also able to take them for walks to keep them happy & exercised while you’re gone.
“Nicole is wonderful! She is knowledgeable, trustworthy and super sweet! She is helping me integrate our new dog by going on parallel walks. I plan to go out of town in a few months, and will definitely ask her to dog sit!”
About: Hi! My name is Sienna. I’ve been raised with dogs my whole life so I have much experience with dogs. I’ve been a dog sitter on many occasions for friends and on recommendation; long and short term stays. I’ve dog sat from puppies to older dogs and big to small dogs so I have dealt with a wide range of different doggies. I love dogs whole heartedly and would love to take care of yours!! I am currently unemployed and a college student mostly online. So I’ve much time to focus on your pet and give them the best care. I truly love dogs and all animals and would give your pet the utmost attention. I’ll do whatever you need for your pet to have the best care. If they do stay with me I have a large fenced in backyard with much room for them to play around. I’ll give your dog plenty of walks. I’ll of course follow any instructions you give to me. I hope you can put your trust in me and I’ll make sure to prove you can.
About: My name is Secret. I am 31 and was a vet assistant for 5 years before medical issues forced me to stop working in vet offices. I've had animals my whole life, with and without medical issues so I'm skilled at giving medicine and injections. I currently have 2 german shepherd mixes that love making new friends. One is very energetic and pmayful and does best with dogs who love to play. In my free time I love to walk the dogs on pur 10 acre property or down to the creek we have, read, write, go to the ocean, and camp. And of course anything involving animals! Please feel free to message me if you need assistance! I work with any budget, so don't let the numbers intimidate you. All animals deserve the right care while you are away. I pet sit full time, so I am available full time for your pets! I can work with any household, and stay as much as possible with your pets! We have a fenced yard, and dogs to keep your fur baby company! I have full time care at our house for our dogs, so I am available full time for your babies whether I'm at your house or mine!
About: Our family of two is pet-friendly. Dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals were guests in our house—all the way from small puppies to giant heavy mastiffs. Safe house for your pets. No neighbor dogs, only squirrels. The yard is protected around with fences and trees. My husband is a military medic trained to help dogs if needed. Can take care of oral medication, IV, pills. My husband is at home 99% since he is in Air Force Online Program right now, and I am at home most of the time. Our family very flexible on the weekends with the schedule and always happy to help other with their trips and dog stays. We have a fenced yard and have only one puppy, a lot of space inside and outside. My husband and I are very active and happy to take care of our little friends.
About: Having animals ranging in all ages since I was 5 has definitely helped but also helping friends and family since the age of 13 has been the best experience. I am available 24/7, our animals are just as important as us so I believe in having time for them whenever you or them may need it. Always following directions given by owner and doing thorough checks throughout the time I am with your 4 legged family. Staying aware of surroundings when out and about in walks.
About: One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is sending photos and updates to owners while they're away. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for when you can't be there. I genuinely love working with animals of all kinds. Over the past 10 years, I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, lizards, chickens, and many other pets. Animals bring so much joy to the world, and I believe they deserve attentive, compassionate care. I'm known for being reliable, flexible, and easy to work with—whether I'm helping friends, family, or new clients I've just met. Because every pet has unique needs, I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and preferences. I also have extensive experience administering medications and caring for pets with special requirements. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your beloved companion is safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care and attention that I would give my own pets. I would love the opportunity to help care for your furry, feathered, or scaly family member. I currently work full time as an office manager in the Roseville area, but I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to support pet care needs throughout the day. I’m able to step out during my lunch breaks for potty visits, check-ins, or to administer medications when needed. My routine is well-structured, which helps me reliably accommodate most scheduling requests and provide consistent care. I understand how important timely visits and dependable support are for both pets and their owners, and I do my best to ensure that each visit is handled with care and attention. I believe the best pet care starts with following the guidance provided by pet owners. They know their pets best and understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities. One thing I've learned over the years is that every animal is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to caring for them. I also place a strong emphasis on observation and communication. When I first meet a pet, I take time to learn their normal behaviors and establish a baseline for how they typically act. If I notice anything that seems unusual or out of character, I promptly reach out to the owner to keep them informed. Clear, timely communication helps ensure the best possible care and provides peace of mind for pet owners. Above all, my goal is to create a safe, trusting, and compassionate environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
About: Hello! I’ve been loving and caring for local pets for around 25 yrs. Some pets were young pups and kittens; some were older seniors. I specialize in petsitting at my clients homes. My longest pet sitting job was 3.5 weeks while the owners were in Italy. I have many referrals. I’ve taken care of miniature horses, Friesian horses, and a pig. (We have a lot of rural homes in Auburn area). I’m retired from a construction accounting job. We’re gladly at home most days! My shedule is flexible; if you have an emergency need for pet sitting, I’m your gal. I prefer to petsit at my client’s homes. The animals rather appreciate this. I like to meet the animal(s) before sitting so when I arrive, we have a connection. I give the animals plenty of one-on-one attention. This may include doggy massage to calm them and get to know them. Lots of walks if they like that. Potty Breaks every couple of hours to begin with, as they’re sometimes nervous or have stomach upsets. I’d like to know your favorite names for them, what your routines are, rituals, their favorite things to do. I’ve also stayed with animals after their surgeries to monitor when the owner has to work.
About: We have a giant 1.5 acre fenced in yard, Perfect for your doggo to run and play while you’re away! I have been caring for animals my entire life and have had dogs and cats since I was five years old. I previously owned three dogs at once and have experience with both large and small breeds. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring health needs, and providing attentive, responsible care. I truly love animals and understand that each pet has their own personality, energy level, and comfort needs. Whether your pet enjoys active walks, calm companionship, or extra patience and care, I strive to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you are away. I love being present for my pet friends and giving them lots of attention, exercise, fresh water and yummy food. I am extremely safe and have a professional dog walking belt with all the tools I need when navigating walks. I’ve administered medication to elderly pets and recently neutered/spayed pets. I have a 1.5 acre fenced in yard with tall pine trees. It is very safe and a dog’s dream come true! Inside our home for night time sleep overs, we keep the couches covered and welcome all the pets into our lives with our cozy fireplace and 2,000 sq ft home.
About: Been a proud owner of goats, cats, chickens, reptiles and dogs. I've had experience in the veterinary field, worked with and cared for livestock and house pets. I am currently working as a veterinary assistant in PV. My schedule is Monday through Thursday from 8:30/9:00am to 5pm. If your pet is able to be left home while I work then perfect! Otherwise I am fully available for long weekends. :) In my own home I have reptiles and three cats and one older dog around. If your pet is staying with me or I’m keeping them company in your own home, I always am engaging with the pet. Any opportunity to play and have some fun, we’re doing it! If they’re more laid back and want to snooze next to me, I will relax with them.
About: Most recently have worked last couple years at dog boarding ranch - I love keeping dogs happy, active, and healthy. All sizes and needs welcome! I'm very flexible with scheduling! I currently enjoy lots of free time and love taking on new pets to make my days even more enjoyable. Completely at your service! Whether its dog walking, home sitting, or drop-ins, I treat every pup like it's my own. I genuinely ensure the wellbeing of every single pet in my care and will respect any individual needs or preferences of the owner.

“It felt so great to leave our girl with them! They were responsive, sent lots of updates, and gave her so much attention while we were away! Can’t stress enough how much more enjoyable our night away with our daughter was knowing Sophie was well taken care of by people who care! Will book again 😊”
“Meeka first met Grant and his dogs at a meet and greet and she loved it there. She was very excited when we returned for the actual stay. While we were gone about a week, Grant faithfully sent us pictures and updates about how she was doing. We were very comforted to know she was having a blast running around the property with her new friends and well taken care of by Grant. We would highly recommend Grant and we will definitely take her there again.”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
“The best review is the way my little guy went running to Michelle with his tail wagging when I dropped him off. He obviously enjoyed his stay with his doggie friends everything to explore in the big back yard.”
“Two weeks with Elisabeth and my little wild child came back a well behaved dog! How does she do it? Great communication, great experience and will DEFINITELY book again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Kelsey! From the moment we met, it was clear how much they truly love and understand dogs. I immediately felt comfortable, and I got regular updates with photos that put my mind completely at ease. Communication was excellent — quick responses, detailed updates, and genuine care in every message. Kelsey went above and beyond, making sure my two high energy doodles were happy and comfortable the entire stay. Definitely recommend.”
“Lilly seemed to have a great stay with Samantha. Lilly had fun running around, chasing tennis balls and a frisbee and even decided to take a plunge in the kiddie pool. Samantha was great about sending us updates and pictures of Lilly’s stay. Thank you Samantha for everything!”
“This is my first timing using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with the service Yan provided. My dog is recovering from a neck wound and Yan took great care of her. Yan took her on long walk everyday and Beibei loved them! Will not hesitate to book Yan again!”
“Nicole and Jarrod were very communicative and our pup seemed to really enjoy his stay. He is a nervous dog, but he was calm and happy when we picked him up. That tells us a lot about how well he was cared for. Will definitely book with them again!”
“Olena and Davyd are awesome! Great communications, great safe location for my dog “Happy” to play, rest and get some love. They are both knowledgeable dog lovers. It was quick to realize Happy was in good hands. The daily photos and videos were also welcomed. Happy loved the stay here. Thank you Olena and Davyd for taking such good care of Happy for me!”
“Sharon and Albert were great! They were very friendly and communicative. Coordinating with them was very easy, and I appreciated how many photos and updates they sent. Their yard has been "doggified" and appeared to be a nice place for the dogs to hang out. They've been taking care of dogs for a while and know what they're doing. Thanks so much for taking care of Kitty!”
“Melissa and her family and pets were wonderful and took excellent care of my dog when I had to go out of town. She is easy to communicate with and sends regular updates which is appreciated. I can highly recommend her.”
“We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Sandra and her family who meticulously cared for our pups while we had to go out of town for a funeral. During a very difficult time, Sandra and her family helped take in our pups and made them a part of their own pack. Our two pups deeply enjoyed their time with Sandra’s family. We were provided up to date information, photos and video clips of our pups and their activities everyday. If you are looking for someone who will meticulously care for your pups and treat them like their own, we would definitely recommend Sandra! We are looking to book with Sandra again in the future!”
“I can't say enough great things about this experience! We've never boarded our cats so I was nervous on how they would respond. With the daily updates from Elaine on how they were doing it warmed my heart that they seemed to make a new friend. Elaine is incredibly warm and fantastic with our cats. Such a gift for us to have her care for them!”
“We've only left our dog with two sitters from Rover.com and Michelle proved to be the perfect match for our dog, Abbie. It was obvious that Abbie was much happier with this sitter (than the previous couple)! Michelle sent videos of her showing how happy she was, which was so comforting for us. She will be our preferred dog sitter from now on!”
“We are glad we found Logan in town! We needed a petsitter for the weekend, and Logan was available! She was great, took them on walks, send pictures and updates! We’d definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Logan for the great care of our pets!”
