“Carlos is a very straightforward guy, it was very smooth to work with him. He stayed at our house and cared for our 78 pounds dog as well as a demanding cat. He left the house clean. Throughout his stay he was in contact with us with pics and updates about the pets. I'll definitely book him again in future.”



“Natalie was above and beyond amazing! She was great at communicating and kept me updated with lots of pictures. Both animals were very well cared for and didn’t even react to my return which is how you know she did a phenomenal job of tending to their emotional needs. In addition to their feeding and Snax’s walk schedule, she played with them tons and found humor in Snax’s habit of finding and carrying sticks on her walk. My apartment was super clean when I got back and she even left a cute note and treat. I super recommend her to anyone for in apartment sitting, especially if you have a cat and a dog combo!”


“Hayley was wonderful! We completely trusted her with our senior pups and she did a great job taking care of them. I really appreciated the fast and detailed communication too.”


“Chloe is an excellent house/dog sitter. My 13yr old cocker spaniel, Roscoe, was spoiled by Chloe: he's a picky eater but she got him to eat all his food, she played with him, & walked him around the neighborhood. Roscoe was in heaven! My house was well maintained. Chloe is intelligent & totally responsible & trustworthy. Next time I'm on vacation, I'm calling Chloe again!!”


“Another amazing visit with Holly! Our 2 cats and 1 senior dog adore her, and Holly’s attentiveness and care allows us to leave town and not worry about our fur babies one bit. Thank you, Holly!”


“Christina is a gem! She treated my dogs as if they were her own. My husband and I were out of town for the weekend so we had Christina stay at our house to watch our 2 dogs. She sent me daily pictures and videos treated our home with respect. I highly recommend Christina and we will definitely use her again”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I currently have two of my own. I’m very familiar with the puppy phase and senior phase! I’ve house sat for two dogs of my own and I like to make sure we get our walks in as well as some cuddle and affection! It’s a treat for myself and them! I’m currently working part time, but that doesn’t mean my schedule isn’t open! I’m here whenever you need me! I pretty much have open availability from Monday-Sunday, especially in the mornings and evenings! Having dogs and cats is something I’m familiar with and comfortable. There isn’t an experience I’ve had where it’s been difficult! I’m a lover of animals I’ve got a huge soft spot for them and I could just give them all the love in the world. I honestly treat them as if they are my very own animals. When it comes to care, you can never be too careful and I truly take that to heart! I’ll do whatever I can to ensure both client and pets are well satisfied!

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Not only did Kelcya and Elizabeth take fantastic care of our baby and kept us updated - they left an amazing snippet of Sookie’s behavior while we were gone. Already booking with them again!”


“Julie was great ! Punctual on showing up , everything was in order and the pets were doing great and enjoyed the pics she sent of them during our absence . We even hired her to take us to and from the airport which made our whole trip easier .”


“Jasmine was very caring to my baby kitties. She regularly sent us updates on how they're doing and what they're doing. My kitties are shy and Jazmine was patient and gave them time to get accustomed to her. After they opened up to her, the kitties loved rubbing up to her and eventually cuddling with her. She also left my house as clean as it was when I left. I'm so glad I found Jazmine. Now I know who to book next time. 😊”


“Alka was great! She took such amazing care of my pup and was easy to work with. Appreciated her coordinating with me to meet up prior and my dog absolutely adored her! Will absolutely be booking her again.”


About: I been taking of my aunts dog and my own dogs since I was 16 years old. I love to have fun with dogs too. Im free all day everyday for now until I get a job. I can mostly do Mornings, Afternoons, Nights. Or maybe I can do all day if you really need the help. I have a cage inside my house for my dogs if it gets way too hot and if it starts raining. I can put your dog in its cage if it’s needed.

About: I am a licensed RVT and CPR certified. I have been in the field about 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, pocket pets and even some livestock. I am a full time employee for UC Davis. I get off work around 6 and have Thursday-Saturday off with flexible pet sitting availability on Sunday I would ensure I wear clean clothes over every time to limit any unwanted illness. With my job specifically I don't deal with sick animals so that won't be an issue. I am also used to placing animal in crates and potty walks.

About: With years of experience in private and public pet boarding, I strive to uphold YOUR standard of love and care for your furry family member(s) while you’re away. While working part time at a daycare, coming home to care for my furry family members is a full time job. Although no two pets are the exact same in their care, I can assist in helping them stick to their regular routines while you’re away. Caring for pets in a clients home will be done in the same manner as they care for them while they are home. I intend to maintain regular boundaries and be consistent with rules that have already been implemented.

About: Hi👋🏼I’m Mindi! I’m a lifelong pet lover with lots of hands on experience! I’ve lived with pets my whole life and now I pet sit for family and friends and have volunteered with Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue! I’ve worked with all ages and all types of energy. I will make sure your pet is well-loved, happy, and hydrated! I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every dog like they’re my own. Here to make your dogs day a little brighter, one wag at a time!🐾 At the moment I’m very open with my schedule. I’m home pretty much full time right now other than occasionally when going out with friends. I provide feeding, exercise, companionship, and mental stimulation. I maintain routines, make sure your pets are properly medicated, and ensure a safe, clean environment while keeping owners updated on their pet’s well-being.

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs since I was just born. I had one cat and one dog growing up both for 18 years and I currently have one cat that is 6 years old with a minor disability. My roommate has three cats. I have experience with behavior training, feedings, vet, appointment, walks, potty training, and recognizing emergencies that need immediate attention. I make my cats wellbeing a priority. They get a morning and an evening walk as well as the ability to go in and out as they please. They get wet food at the same time every day in the evening and dry food available to them always. They also get treats for behavior training and to better their tricks. I am available to complete any and all services needed to take care of your pet, whether that be in my place of residence or yours.

About: I’ve owned dogs ever since I was a child and have cared for dogs outside of my family for a little over 5 years. I love being able to learn the different personalities of each dog I come across. I also have professional work experience at a dog boarding company for a little over a year. I know how to handle dogs of all shapes and sizes and temperament ranges. I own my own dog, Obie, so I am always caring. I am open most days of the week excluding Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have class. I am available mornings though on those days. I am well versed in adapting to the dogs specific environments it’s comfortable in, matching its energy level and always being comforting and loving no matter what.

About: Hello there! My name is Josh, and I’m an enthusiastic dog caretaker who would love the chance to take care of your dog. At first glance, you might be unsure if this guy who looks like a pirate can reliably care for your furry friend. Rest assured, I am dedicated to meeting your dog’s needs in a safe and fun environment. I will ensure that your dog feels loved and happy. I prioritize open communication with pet owners to build trust. A little background about me: I currently have a rare brain tumor that makes it difficult for me to hold a regular job. The tumor is stable and only affects my vision in my left eye. I hope that with treatment, I will soon overcome this health challenge so I can return to school to become an MRI technician. In the meantime, I’m happy to work with Rover to save up for that goal. Taking care of your pets would mean a lot to me and would help me progress toward my aspirations. I promise to go above and beyond in my service to show my appreciation. I also have a well-behaved Belgian Malinois named Nezuko, who gets along with all dogs. If you’d like, we can arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand—I’d be happy to do so. If you'd like to see my pup. Thank you for reading, and I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I am on permanent disability so i am available at all times. I am still very active and I walk my own dog 3-4 miles a day. I have a huge park across the street that I take my dog to every day. If your dog is not good off-leash, I have a 50 ft leash they can use if they have a compatible vest. My dog is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs. She does get very excited when she sees new dogs and people, but I've never seen her be aggressive with any dog or person.

She’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly adored her visits. I highly recommend her for anyone needing drop-in care or walks!"”

Athena Mae J.
“I only worked with Athena for two weeks to house sit for my dog, Ellie. During this time, I had to make the decision to put Ellie down due to health and behavioral reasons. Athena made this process so much more manageable and comfortable for both myself, and Ellie. She provided tips for making Ellie more comfortable while she was alone, helped me find a way to help Ellie eat more consistently, and took her on daily walks and playtime. Athena even created imprints of my dogs paws and nose to remember her after she passed. I couldn't have asked for a more empathetic and loving dog sitter who Ellie immediately latched onto and looked forward to seeing everyday despite it being such a short time. Thank you again for everything, Athena!”


Kari S.

Emma H.
“To Whom It May Concern, I highly recommend Emma H. as a trusted and compassionate pet caregiver. She has cared for my three dogs on multiple occasions, both for short weekends and longer vacations, and every time I’ve returned to happy, well-cared-for pets. Emma goes above and beyond by not only ensuring their basic needs are met, but also taking time to play with them, walk them, and keep me updated with daily photos. Her attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and dependable communication make her an outstanding choice for anyone looking for safe, loving care and excellent service.

Joshua A.
“Joshua was excellent with our little Maltese Kylo. We wanted our dog to have some playing time with another dog, and it was great that Joshua brought his dog, Nezuko, with him. Nezuko is well-behaved, and our dog Kylo had a great time with her. If you are looking for someone fantastic with dogs, Joshua is the right fit.”
