“Katherine is the best!!! I have two cats, one of them, who dosen't like anyone, loves Katherine. One of my cats needs an Insulin shot twice a day and he is very comfortable with Katherine giving him his shots.

About: I’ve spent over 15 years caring for pets of all kinds — from playful puppies, energetic dogs to senior pets who need a little extra love. Animals have always been a big part of our family, and we’ve been surrounded by friends, neighbors, and relatives who trust us to care for their pets while they’re working or traveling. I’m responsible and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved! Currently, I work from home running our family business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pets. Caring for animals fits naturally into our daily routine. My twin daughters love to help shower pets with affection, and there’s always someone around to give walks, cuddles, or playtime. Pets blend seamlessly into our home life. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run and play safely. Inside, pets can relax in a calm, loving environment alongside our own well trained gentle 4 year old Doberman and a sweet 1 year old cat. Both are social and used to being around other pets, but I always supervise and take time to make sure every guest feels secure and at ease. All pets must be up to date on vaccinations. Any dogs that show aggression to people or other dogs will be separated and/or crated.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. Whether it is farm animals like chickens, goats, sheep, and horses or indoor animals such as dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish. I have learned to care for and love all types. I have experience through volunteering at animal rescues and shelters growing up. I would help take care of the cats as well as play with and walk the dogs. I know it is hard to be away from your fur babies, so I always make sure to send updates with photos of everybody. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to engage with all of your animals and give them the best care. I am very attentive and will make sure everybody has enough food and water. I will also make sure that everybody gets their energy out whether that is through playing with their toys or going on walks.
“Ashlee took great care of our kitties, fish tank, plants and home. She was reliable, flexible and listened to what we said mattered most to us. She kept ample communication, ensuring we knew how things were going and sending lots of nice pictures and videos. We had peace of mind during our travels, which is all one can ask for. Thanks, Ashlee!”
About: I have a big heart, especially for dogs. I have never been without a dog for my whole entire life since I was born.

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to work when I want and where I want. I am able to give pets lots of attention, love and company. I am available everyday of the week.

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals, which has shaped my extensive pet-care experience. Growing up with various pets, including dogs, cats, and even small animals like hamsters, I developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Professionally, I have worked as a pet sitter for several years, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and those with special needs. I take pride in my ability to create a nurturing and safe environment, ensuring that every pet feels comfortable and loved. My approach is centered on building trust and strong bonds with each animal, as I believe that a happy pet is a well-cared-for pet. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have also taken courses in pet first aid and training, enabling me to handle any situation that may arise while providing care. My commitment to pets goes beyond just meeting their basic needs; I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with them, engaging in play, and providing companionship. I look forward to bringing my passion and dedication to caring for your beloved pets! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I prioritize spending quality time with pets, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I typically start my mornings with walks, providing fresh air and exercise for the pets in my care. During the day, I ensure they have a structured schedule that includes playtime, meals, and rest. I am flexible and can adapt to the specific needs of each pet, ensuring they receive individualized care tailored to their routine. In my home and in my clients’ homes, I prioritize the safety and well-being of pets above all else. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure that the environment is secure and free from hazards. This includes removing any toxic plants, securing cords and small objects, and creating a comfortable space for pets to relax. I maintain a clean and organized area, allowing pets to feel at ease while minimizing stress. In clients’ homes, I respect their space and routines while ensuring a safe environment for their pets. I adhere to any specific guidelines provided by pet parents, such as feeding schedules, exercise needs, and preferred routines. I also ensure that all doors and gates are securely closed to prevent escapes and accidents. To build trust, I communicate regularly with pet parents, providing updates and sharing any observations about their pet’s behavior. I strive to create a bond with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment, whether in my home or theirs.
About: Years of cat experience, young kittens to very old cats. Presently have 3 cats ranging from 3.5 years old to 20 years old and have had cats all of my adult life. I am currently retired and have plenty of time to sit with your cat/s. Have fed friends & families animals whenever they were away for anything between a day & 2 weeks. I have 3 cats of mine own & they are indoor/outdoor cats although one is very old (20) and will just stay in the yard but they will all use a litter tray & have 3 to choose from which are emptied a minimum of every day & sometimes more.
About: I am a friendly pet sitter that has 2 cats but have also lived with dogs. I like both cats and dogs and am excited to help out and play with them! I am currently working full time and am free on the weekends. I am available Saturday and Sunday 9am-10pm and am very flexible with scheduling. I have two cats that I prefer to keep indoors and have a set schedule when it comes to feeding. I am familiar with the nature of cats and their body language so I am able to understand when it’s time to give them space or when it’s time to play :)
About: Hi there! I’m Alex and I’m 34 years old and I have been training for 13 years . I’ve been training from aggressive/ reactive dogs to obedience for 13 years. I specialize in rehab of rescues and dogs that have been through abuse or trauma. No dog is a lost cause, it’s whether you’re willing to put in the work. My dog is a rescue herself, and her history before I got her is still very ambiguous.I only know she was a stray in Stockton. I just recently got another dog and he is very different in personality. My dog right before her ( RIP) was my inspiration for working with dogs. His soul was so beautiful. When I first got him he had a fear of almost everything. He was fear aggressive with everyone especially men. He didn’t know what grass was because he came from the streets of San Leandro. He was a therapy and service dog and lead a life of helping others, and that’s something I want to continue on in his honor. My dog is a 88 lb AmStaff/ Red Heeler Cattle Dog. My dog loves other animals and loves meeting new people and dogs. I love all animals and have a special place for dogs. I’ve love to meet some new doggy friends and be of service however you need me. I can drop in, train or dog walk, whatever you need. I love animals and want to immerse myself in the awesomeness that is dogs and pets. My style least invasive minimally aversive or LIMA. I will always start with a base line of a slip lead. I can then make that into a head collar or harness if need be. If the owner wants to try any other tools, I ask that they request of me directly, otherwise i will work with my baseline. I specialize in reactive and fear aggressive dogs and wolf hybrids. I have also done obedience, puppy classes, desensitization. I have four prongs to my training: two group options and two solo options. the two groups types would be group classes with other dogs and their owners, and then pack walks, where i take dogs for an hour with me for a walk with multiple dogs and me. The solo options would be walk/trains where I take the dog for an hour and we drill out training together in relevant areas to the client. If I end up working with you a review is greatly appreciated. I have a full time job as a trainer through a corporate pet industry entity and want to switch to working for myself full time because I just can’t get enough of training! I will be able to do walks, training, and drop ins. I live in an apartment so I can’t have other dogs where I live.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have extensive experience caring for all types of animals, including farm animals, cats, and dogs. Whether it’s feeding, exercising, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also have experience administering medication and caring for senior pets, ensuring they receive the comfort and attention they need. Whether your pet requires extra patience, special care, or just lots of love, I’m here to help! I understand the importance of trusting someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide dependable, loving care while you're away. I’d love to meet you and your pets—let’s chat about how I can help! I currently work full-time at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. I am available for overnight visits, and morning & evening visits. I'm available to provide care during the night, administering medication as needed. I’m highly adaptable to your pet’s unique needs and routines. I understand the importance of consistency, so I’ll take the time to learn all about your furry family member’s schedule and preferences to provide the best care possible.
About: My family owned a lot of animals, so I was tasked with taking care of them my whole life. I had to manage caring for 6 pets at a time (dogs and cats), and it came naturally to me. I'm very organized and able to adjust to your pets routine! Animals have also always taken a liking to me, and I am sure to give them as much attention as they need. I am a film student & photographer, but a lot of my classes are very early in the day. I am usually free every day from around 12:30 PM-8:30 PM!

About: I am a CPDT-KA certified trainer with several years of experience training dogs in both private and shelter settings. In addition to my training experience, I have fostered hundreds of medical and behavioral dogs over the last fifteen years, with the majority of my fosters being behavioral or medical. I am comfortable giving subcutaneous injections or oral medications to animals in my care. I am also comfortable dealing with a majority of behavioral issues. I run a non-profit animal rescue that save hundreds of lives from our local shelters every year, and the funds I earn on Rover go towards the creation of a facility for this rescue. Private training is also available at an additional cost. I am available late afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I have morning availability on weekends. For accommodations outside of these time frames, we can work to schedule as an exception. I care for your pets like they are my own.

I supervise while pets are engaged in enrichment activities and always utilize well fitted equipment and appropriate holding techniques while walking pets.

“Sarah is amazing when caring for our dogs! She is so quick to respond and reassures me with lots of photos and detailed notes that the dogs are being well taken care of 😀”
Maci S.
“Maci has been an exceptional pet sitter for our now 14-week old American Bully puppy, Ash. From the very beginning, she demonstrated not only reliability but also a natural gift for connecting with him. Ash is full of energy and spunk, which can sometimes be a lot to handle, yet Maci consistently meets him with a calming, soothing voice that helps settle his excitement. It’s clear that her approach creates a sense of comfort and trust for him, which gives us so much comfort when we can’t be there. One moment that really stood out to us was when Maci introduced Ash to the grass potty pad. We had been struggling to get him comfortable with it but she was the very first person who actually got him to use it and not just once, but to both pee and poop on it. That was such a huge milestone and a true testament to her patience, skill, and understanding of puppies! We are so grateful for the consistency and heart Maci puts into caring for our baby, Ash. Ash adores her so much as evident by his waggly tail and yearning whine upon her arrival says it all! We also keep a journal of Ash’s daily activities to track the trend of his potty schedule, and Maci follows it impeccably. Her attention to detail gives us such confidence in his routine and care. Beyond her natural ability, Maci is also thoughtful. She never fails to give me a surprise smile with a candid photo of Ash or a simple update that brightens my day. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and truly special to care for your pets, we couldn’t recommend Maci more highly!”

Felicia L.
“Felicia has always been a loving and caring animal person and has always had multiple pets in her household. From personal experience, she was an excellent sitter for my own pets, giving them the love and attention pets deserve with also taking care of their needs such as taking them potty when they need and feeding them the right amount of food and at the time she was instructed to. Overall I would say she is the perfect candidate to be a pet caregiver with her love and responsibility.”

Jenny K.
“Jenny is an amazing caretaker. We went away for over a week and she cared for both of our dogs. It’s hard to leave part of our family behind without having a family member take care of them. However I felt comfortable with Jenny as did our dogs. Jenny is compassionate and trustworthy. It’s a relief to know we have someone we can trust with our pups. We love Jenny and we highly recommend her.”

Natasha P.
“Natasha is a blessing to myself and my three dogs! She is able to handle both my two senior medium (30lb) dogs and my young, much larger (85lb) dog. All three are of mixed breed and temperament, but Natasha is able to deal with anything they throw at her. Not only does Natasha walk and handle feeding, but she also works on their training when she is with them (much needed by the youngest). My dogs adore her and I am grateful to have someone that I can trust with my fur babies.”
