Highly-rated overnight sitters - North Valley
“Maellen is the warmest, caring, and most attentive dog sitter we've ever had. She sent us daily updates with pictures and was very responsive anytime we had a question. We could tell our Toby was happy, safe and comfortable in Maellen's home. Not once did we worry about Toby's well being, safety or comfort and we were able to enjoy our time out of town. Toby got his daily walks, plenty of time with Maellen and we could tell that she took great care of Toby. We are looking forward to having Maellen watch Toby again. In fact, we have confirmed another booking with Maellen later in the year.”
“Bonni is wonderful with Spike. She's patient and understanding of my old guy. This is important since he's deaf and nearly blind. We trust her absolutely.”

“Jamie did a wonderful job taking care of my three dogs! She was kind, communicative, and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. I picked up happy, relaxed pups, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly appreciate the care she gave them and would definitely book with her again!”
“Such an amazing sitter Rebecca went out of her way to help me and my boy Mugzie. She kept me updated and Mugzie seemed to be very comfortable definitely 5 star!”
“Celine is absolutely incredible and I'm so glad I found her. Azuki loved her from the first moment they met. While we were away, Celine checked in with a picture each day and I could tell my pup was happy and content. My pup is on a pretty high maintenance diet and Celine managed it without difficulty. When I picked up Azuki, she was happy and energetic and that has continued since we have been home. I will definitely have Celine sit for Azuki again! Thank you for the love you showed my pup, Celine.”
“My puppies were safe and happy with Brandi. She sent me pics every day, and provided excellent communication throughout their stay. I won’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“We were so lucky to have found Carrie on rover. Our usual sitters were unavailable and we needed someone quickly. She stepped in without hesitation and completely exceeded our expectations. Carrie was kind, professional, and clearly experienced with pets. She sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs instantly took to her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared for them. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be reaching out to Carrie again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Esmeralda and her family took very good care of our Spider. She sent us some photos and updates to stay connected which we really appreciate. She was also available with short notice and we would definitely let Spider stay with her again. When we arrived for pickup, Spider was relaxing in his bed in the living room, very calm and obviously very comfortable at Esmeralda's house. :) Excellent care”
“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”
“Auntie Pat, as my pup Frida and I call her, is fantastic! Can't say or write enough great things about her. My only fear is that too many people will find out about her and then she'll be booked up for life! So shhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!”
“My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”
“I absolutely recommend Bill to care for your pup. My guy loved his stay with Bill and his family. I was a nervous mom dropping her boy off, but Bill made the drop-off smooth. I received daily pictures and knew my dog was being well taken care of, even a little spoiled. Thanks Bill!”
“Alexandria took lots of pictures and sent updates of Bailey. She made him part of the family and Bailey seemed like he had a great time! He can be shy and slow to warm up to new people so he most have felt really comfortable with Alexandria and her family.”
“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”

“Had to book a last minute visit to check on my pets while I was out of town - responsive/helpful and generally eased my worry of making sure my cats were good and healthy after original care plans fall through mid trip. Thanks for being so quick to respond and available - truly a life saver. Definitely would recommend”
“August was great with our two cats well we were out of town for a week! Came by everyday to feed them, clean the litter box and play with them! Gave us great updates each day with photos! This was the first time I was away from my cats for that long and I felt at peace knowing August was there taking care of them and giving them some love. Very professional! Would definitely book with August again in the future!”
“My cat storm seemed at home right away with Tabitha. And I can tell he is doing OK afterwards because he did not pull all of his hair out which he does when stressed. He walked around like he owned the place which was lovely.”
“Rachel took great care of our three cats while we were away for 10 days. She communicated well, and got pictures of cats at each day she visited (except for our known shy guy). I have no hesitation booking with her again. Thank you.”
“Cerah took such good care of my cat while I was away that I don’t even think he realized I had left! And I wasn’t given the opportunity to miss him either cause Cerah sent good updates and Morris was clearly happy to have her company. :)”

“Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”

I understand that every cat is different, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust and make sure they're happy while their owners are away.
“Lily has been amazing for my cat Callie! I needed a pet sitter very last minute for a whole month and she stepped right in. I was nervous to leave Callie at first but Lily made me feel so comfortable so quickly as she sent so many updates and delivered medication to my cat every single day like a pro. My cat, who is usually selective with people, was clearly beyond comfortable with Lily. Lily was super responsive and great to work with in general, she even cleaned the place upon leaving which was incredibly kind. Would highly recommend her to anybody who needs a kind, reliable pet sitter! Thank you again Lily!”

“I needed a last minute sitter for bear while she recovered from surgery, Lauren was able to watch her for the day! She did great helping bear feel comfortable and i was able to go to work without having to worry about her.”
“I was visiting town and needed a last-minute dog daycare option, and she was fantastic. She was very responsive and took the time to meet me and my pup beforehand, which made me feel comfortable right away. My pup was tired from the day and all the activities, but she handled her with both care and confidence. She quickly became part of the pack, played with the other dogs, and came back happily exhausted. She also sent photos and text updates, which I really appreciated. I especially liked how attentive she was with my pup’s prescribed medication. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was safe, cared for, and having a great time while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“I felt comfortable leaving my two anxious dogs with Mike for three days of doggie daycare while we attended a convention. I would feel comfortable leaving them with him again. Thank you!”
“In all my years of using dog sitters, no one has come close to Peter in terms of the care and love my dog received from him. Peter sent the best pictures throughout the day, and I was jealous of how much fun they were having. , He really did treat Bug like his own dog. I think my dog almost likes him better than me.”
“Amber was amazing! She was incredibly responsive and was able to take my dog last minute, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with photos throughout, and it was clear my dog was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend and would happily book with her again!”

“Kevin is an excellent dog watcher! I had to work long hours for over two weeks, and he was extremely flexible with my hours and taking care of my dog. She got plenty of exercise, reliable feeding, etc. I began to refer to Kevin as "Better Daddy" because Astrid was always super excited as we arrived at his house, and she definitely loves being around him! I would use Kevin again without any hesitation, and recommend others do the same.”
“What an amazing peace of mind!! My dog came back happy and so well taken care of! Will be booking again!! Thank you so much for your love and care to animals!”
“Kimberly is fantastic! She was very accommodating to my unique schedule at the hospital and always responds quickly. I also greatly appreciated how she gave me some tips to help with my puppy’s habit of marking. Highly recommend her for any needs/cares your doggo has.”

“Brain was one of the most amazing dog sitters I’ve ever encountered. I’m a travel nurse and have a crazy work schedule and he was so easy to work with. I don’t trust my dog with many people and I would trust her with him for a month. He is incredible with the dogs and half the time my puppy didn’t even want to leave him! She absolutely loved him and I am so grateful I found him. Book him for all your needs!!!”

“Jason is great! My pups love going to his house for daycare. They are older and its always hard to find a place where they are comfortable like they are at home, but they are always excited whenever I drop them off!”
“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”
“Jody was amazing with our new rescue, Teddy. She was very communicative and worked with us on all of Teddy's quirks like separation anxiety and leash reactivity. Teddy definitely had a fun day full of fun and adventure! We super appreciate Jody working with us on such late notice and for being so kind!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - North Valley
About: I have had cats and dogs around since I was a child. I have been boarding for almost 2 years, and walking/doing check-ins for nearly 8 years. I started out doing walks to help fill my want for pets. But now that I have two of my own, I realized this is something I really love doing and it is always a joy to meet other peoples' fur babies. In my home, I do have one other dog who LOVES to play and gets along with every animal and human he meets. I have a scaredy cat, and a handful of kiddos who I have taught animal etiquette to since they were all babies. We have cared for the smallest dogs to the largest. We have had older dogs, puppies, dogs recovering from surgery, and females in heat (although not at the moment until our puppy is fixed). We love your babies like they are our own, and love to be able to take them with us if we ever go on any adventures while they are here (of course, with permission!) I am a stay at home mom, so I am home the majority of the day to care for any animals in my home. My kids are AMAZING with animals, as I have taught lots of animal etiquette over the years caring for animals -- and now that we have our own fur babies too. In my home, we just treat your fur babies like one of our own. We give them lots of attention, play time, walk time, etc. I also incorporate your schedules with ours (ie feeding, etc). If there are any special requests, I fulfill those needs. When I go to a clients home, I respect everything around me and be as gentle and careful as to make sure that the fur babies are comfortable with me in their home.
About: I am a friend to all dogs and cats! I have had pets all my life and love taking care of fur babies. I work from home and am always available for a drop in, daycare, and especially a home for the holidays. I have a friendly small dog and aloof cat in my home . My home has a fenced in yard with plenty of grass for potty breaks. I am also experienced with giving medicine in case your little one has any conditions which require said service. Whether it's going for a long walk around the neighborhood or taking a trip to the dog park, I promise your pets will be happy and safe with me! I work from home as I mentioned so I am available for all of my services anytime. I take my work phone with me so if I need to stop by during business hours, it is perfectly fine! I care for every animal by giving them love and attention. I am the kind of person who enjoys spending time with animals so whether they’re in my home or I go to your home I always enjoy spending quality time with them and making sure they know they are safe and well cared for.
“Jennifer is awesome! She is always on time. She pays special attention to my dog to make sure he isn’t overheating on walks and he always comes back super happy!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. Since I was 12, it’s been my responsibility to take care of our English Setter. This began with me helping to train him. My role was to reinforce the lessons taught at the PetSmart classes. I’ve regularly walked, bathed, and taken to the vet our dog as well. I love animals of all kinds and care a lot about giving them the loving attention they deserve. I currently work part time 6 days a week, with Sundays off. I work from home, and regularly have mornings and early afternoons completely available. I have more than enough time for several appointments just about every day of the week. At the moment I do not own any pets, as my landlord does not allow it. I am unable to provide any services that would require my home. But I’ve lived with and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, with great regularly since I was 12. I know what I’m doing when it comes to our furry companions. I’d love to provide walks, visits, and any other services I can.

“Hector has been a fantastic dog walker for Dolly. She adores him and looks forward to their walks. Hector is consistently prompt and flexible with scheduling, making it easy to coordinate even on busy days. Highly recommend his services! He is reliable, caring, and a great fit for Dolly!”
“Most of the Rover sitters have been great, but we were starting to run into scheduling and response-time problems with the 20-somethings. I decided to try Patricia (started out by walking both our dogs) and she is the mature and responsible dog sitter/walker we've been looking for. We plan to have Patricia do some house sitting for us soon when we can take some badly-needed time away from our business.”
“Greg had worked with my dog a year and a half ago, and it was a very good experience. Sadly, that dog passed away but now I have a new dog and I reached out to Greg to see if he could help me get Scooby some extra exercise. He jumped right back in and is helping me and Scooby get off to a good start from the shelter! Greg is great with dogs, and very respectful when it comes to scheduling and communication”

“We are thrilled to have found Shell! I truly appreciate that she does a meet and greet and lets us know if the dogs would be a good fit or not. It shows me that she truly cares about the pups and their well being. She treated my dogs like family—making sure they were well-fed and exercised. I got photos and messages that showed just how comfortable and content they were; one even made a best friend! Both the dogs came home exhausted which shows us how great of a time they had. I think they were a little sad when they came back home because at Shells they got to play 24/7! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to watch your pets, look no further. I will 100% book Shell again without hesitation. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my pups, we will see you again soon!”
