About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was little, growing up with a sheltie dog from when I was born. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbor’s dogs and cats; taking them on walks, feeding them, playing with them and caring for them as if they were my own. Living the past 4 years with a roommates/friends who had an pitbull/husky mix and calico cat I helped out often with care and they became family to me as well. Two years ago I as well, had frequently the pleasure of getting to care for both dogs/cats through rover overnight as well as doing check in feedings. I’m currently working part time so I have the flexibility to play with your pets after 2pm during the week days and all day on the weekends. I unfortunately don’t currently have the ability to board at my home. I always confirm with the client what the pets schedule may be, any health/behavioral concerns, likes/dislikes, emergency contacts & their local veterinary in case of emergency. Having open communication throughout the service, I feel as well helps so that everyone is on the same page in caring and maintaining the safety of their pet.

“If you’re looking for a wonderful friend for your dog during these crazy pandemic times, look no further than Teri! Our girls love her to death, and she has been absolutely amazing during the quarantine, taking every safety precaution (gloves, shoe coverings, social distancing handoffs outside the house). We absolutely love Teri!”

About: I have been a dog mom my whole life, from small terriers to Great Danes, and have experience with dogs across the lifespan, as well as dogs of many different temperaments. I am also a lifelong cat owner and can provide excellent and personalized care for all of your furry friends. I have experience with medication dispensing, leash reactivity, and providing personalized enrichment and care, depending on the pet’s needs and personalities. Got a couch potato? Great, I'm an A+ cuddler! Got an adventurer? We'll go on field trips to local parks and walking trails! Whatever your pet needs, I am thrilled to provide. I am currently an MSW graduate student, so Rover is my primary source of income, and hanging out with your furry friends provides some bonus stress relief for me as well - a win-win! I am a full time MSW graduate student and Rover is my primary source of income, so my summer schedule is wide open, and my schedule while school is in session will be based around my class schedule. My own precious pup is not comfortable around other dogs, so I offer housesitting services in client's homes. I will honor whatever your pet's routine and preferences are, and am happy to schedule a meet up prior to our housesitting appointment to ensure that you and your fur baby feel comfy with me.
“Wendy is amazing and her experience with dogs immediately shows! I was a little nervous as Lucy had never been walked by anyone other than us. I loved the pictures and videos Wendy sent showing Lucy was thoroughly enjoying her time out. We did not hesitate to rebook Wendy for recurring walks!”

About: Animals have been part of my life from the very beginning. My family raised and cared for pets of all kinds, including Maine Coon show cats, a golden retriever, and a yorkie. I grew up surrounded by them, learning early how to read behavior, provide steady care, and build trust with different personalities and species. The only time I ever lived without an animal in my home was during my first two years of service in the Air Force. Since then, I have continued to share my life with dogs, cats, and the occasional more unusual companion such as a bird, a ferret, and a snake. Every one of them has been loved and treated as family. These days I share my home with Daxter (my orange tabby) and Catarina and Beretina (two crazy torbie sisters) who keep life entertaining in all the best ways. I am a veteran currently in school and I work part time as a martial arts instructor. Outside of that, I enjoy drawing, playing guitar, and video games. Among my friends I have become the go to pet auntie because I care for their animals as if they were my own. My goal is to bring that same level of attentiveness and genuine care to every pet I look after. Whether they are shy, energetic, quirky, or easygoing, I meet each animal with patience, respect, and a calm presence so they feel safe while you are away. I currently work part time as a martial arts instructor during the day, but my schedule is extremely flexible to accommodate both you and your pets’ needs I care for every pet with a focus on respect, clear communication, and their individual comfort levels. Whether a cat or dog is shy, social, or a little spicy, I follow their cues and let them set the pace. With many years of experience, including caring for my own three cats (Daxter, Catarina, and Beretina), I’m very attentive to both physical and emotional needs and quick to notice changes in behavior or stress. Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s. If you’re away, I provide consistent updates and photos as often as you’d like so you always know how they’re doing. I welcome specific instructions or preferences because every pet has their own routine and every owner has their own comfort level. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and content, and you feel confident that they’re in good hands.
About: Hi there! I’m Jenna and I have been around animals all of my life. I have been house sitting/ animal sitting for 10 years now. I can take care of dogs of any breed, cats, horses, goats etc. I do work full time, but my partner works from home and they are able to provide care when i am at work. We can accommodate special requests I am in an apartment on the 1st floor. We have a dog park, and a lot of grassy areas nearby. I have a camera set up in my living room, that allows me to check on the animal throughout the day. We also have extra toys and treats for animals staying with us.
About: I genuinely love animals, and that comes through in my work. Going above and beyond what is expected is my normal because in addition to being responsible, I also just love pets and animals and being around them. I have worked at the UC Davis Vet hospital, volunteered at the LA Zoo, and currently foster cats with Front St Animal Shelter. I’m currently a full time student in my last year of my Genetics and Genomics BS. I have always at least worked part time during my entire college career, and I really enjoy getting to work with animals to decompress from school. I am very attentive to directions, and I’m great at communicating with pet parents on their needs. While I don’t board at my own home, I always make sure to treat your home with the respect as I would my own.

About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years, but my real training started with my own dog Haku. He has taught me patience, routine, and how to understand different dog personalities. I am used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. Haku is friendly with children, other dogs, and cats, so I understand the importance of proper introductions and calm environments. Every dog has their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I work from home, so I get to spend most of my day around dogs. I’m available for boarding on weekends and flexible during weekdays. Your pup will have company, regular walks, and a steady routine instead of being left alone all day. Dogs can sense calm energy, and I bring that into my home. I keep things structured but relaxed. I respect each dog’s personality and never force interactions. Haku runs quality control and makes sure every guest feels welcome.

About: • Experience with puppies and high-energy breeds • Potty training consistency and routine building • Comfortable with small to medium dogs • Can follow feeding schedules and medication instructions • Skilled with leash walking and structured outdoor time • Familiar with dog park etiquette and socialization Pet care is part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I structure my schedule around the dogs in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. On a typical day, dogs can expect: • Morning potty break and walk • Structured playtime and enrichment • Supervised social time if comfortable with other dogs • Midday check-ins and affection • Afternoon rest and downtime • Evening walk and wind-down routine

“Natalie was awesome and quick to respond, and super friendly! We felt really comfortable leaving our puppy in her hands. Will be booking her again in the future!”

About: Animals really love me. I've been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for them. I'm really good at playing with them and making sure they get lots of exercise. I'm responsible, attentive, and will treat your pets like my own. I'm currently taking online classes, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I am always available, so just give me a holler when you need me. I live in an apartment complex with a pet-friendly environment. I'm happy to take dogs on walks to nearby parks and pet relief areas. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I promise to provide a safe and loving environment for them.

About: This is for a mountain hike minimum of 3 hours including transport in and out of the Sacramento/Roseville area. Let your dogs have an amazing day while you work! Hi! I’m Jessica and that’s Moe, founders of City to Summit, mountain excursions for dogs! The dog-mom guilt of working so often led me to work part time at a “luxury” boarding facility for the free daycare. Turns out, the conditions were so bad I wouldn’t even take Moe there for free so we took matters into our own hands/paws. With ~30 states under our belt and countless adventure hikes, we’re looking for new friends in the area to join the fun! Now I take small packs of pups out of the city and into the mountains for enriching hikes so we can be guilt-free while our dogs have the best day ever. Currently, only offering weekdays Monday-Thursday. Hikes usually will be in Auburn area at places like Hidden Falls Regional Park. Pick up and drop off can also be arranged, or you can drop off and pick up from my home in West Sacramento. Hikes are minimum of 3 hours and include transport out of the city and into the mountains and back! While open to opportunities with the right dogs, currently the focus is on stimulating hikes for dogs that need more than just a quick walk around the house. Meet and greets first and Small packs only.
About: I have worked in pet care for the last 9 years, and for 3 years prior worked and volunteered in multiple municipal animal shelters. I specialize in animals who tend to need extra care, whether that be ones I'll need to work harder to gain their trust or the super clingy ones! I create an adaptive schedule curated to your furry friends needs during overnight stays so there won't be any major changes while they are in my care. Rest assured that all your wants will be met too! I also do minor home care during long stays so you'll be able to come home and relax. *My dog isn’t involved during the care of any clients. I do have other clients who I may have to walk or do drop ins for during a house sitting, and kiddos to take to sports, but I never leave for longer than 6 hours (including travel time!) As of right now, I cannot regularly accommodate dogs who can’t be alone for 5+ hours. All outdoor time & playtime is supervised! For drop ins booked while owner is away: I require a minimum of daily drop ins for cats/other small pets, and twice daily minimum for dogs. This includes animals with timed feeders, water fountains, & 24/7 access to a yard, and is to ensure any safety or medical emergency can be handled promptly. I welcome all pet owners to have cameras for common areas in & around your home. So you can check on them at any time while I may be away too!

About: Hi! I’m a UC Davis graduate. Ever since I was young I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian. I’ve owned a numerous variety of pets like ducks, lizards, cats, hamsters, and dogs. My experiences with these animals not only taught me the importance of responsibility but also helped me realize my passion to maintain the health and safety of animals. I love taking care of animals and will surely do everything possible to make them feel safe and at home. Every animal is different and has different customs; I am open to explore these customs and adjust to what they need while taking care of them. Thank you and let me know if you have further questions. I’m currently working full time WFH. My availability is pretty open! I have my own car so transportation will never be an issue! I can adjust well into new routines. I live in a condo with a fenced yard! Your pet can either be inside with me or in the yard, any preference is okay!

West Sacramento dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lila was wonderful. At the meet and greet, it was evident my dog Gracie really loved her. Lila followed the plan that I left for her taking Gracie for her favorite walks in the neighborhood. Lila sent me pictures of Gracie everyday that I was gone as well as the Rover report card which was really reassuring. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that Gracie was in such good hands. I would definitely book her for Gracie again if I needed to be away in the future.
Kalina has definitely exceeded my expectations as a dog walker. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring/loving towards my fur babies. At first contact, she responded very quickly and was willing to meet the next day on such short notice. Kalina was very patient with my boy, Ghost, especially when he hid under the bed for 30 mins during the first scheduled walk. She contacted me immediately to figure out next steps. Kalina wanted to respect my dog's comfortability, which I very much appreciated. The same day, Ghost warmed up to her and both of my dogs ended up enjoying the outdoors. Kalina made sure to communicate when she arrived at the house and left, also included pictures for me to see. I can tell that both Ghost and Hazel love her! Kalina did such an amazing job and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help with their fur babies. They are in great hands with her!
