“Jordan was great, he stayed at our house for 1-week and watched our older anxious dog. He was reliable, responsive and flexible with our dogs needs and she was in great spirits when we got home! I would highly recommend!”

About: In my younger years I was known as that house you could trust your pets with, which sadly led to less boarding and daycare services and more abandonment of pets on my doorstep. I accepted each surrender because I always figured better here with me then on the streets. After successfully adopting out all these love bugs to people I knew and trusted over the years, I've found myself in smaller quarters. I've found comfort and fulfillment in caring for outdoor cats (commonly referred to as strays) Taking in an orange Tabby to call my own in the process. I've made friends with neighbors who share the same love and passion and through these connections found community - a cat community! I currently care for three cats (siblings), house-sitting as well while their human parents are away. Each individual cat has it's different wants/needs. Through these experiences I've learned gaining trust and love is different for each individual feline. I'm looking to expand my care/services to neighboring cat families mainly because I love cats and know how important it is to have a community of cat folks in your corner when duty, vacation or emergencies call. I'm currently employed by Uber Eats so I make my own schedule. I'm open to weekend care as well. The only thing I do religiously is cultural dancing on Wednesday nights. My current clients are all indoor kitties so I am used to securing the household, feeding on a schedule throughout the day and doing enrichment with them be that play or individual love and cuddle time. I prepare meals specific to each cats needs, keep litterboxes and surrounding areas clean and keeping water stations fresh.
“Dani is an absolute top notch dog sitter. She watched our dogs and our house over the week of Christmas while we traveled. She made sure to meet the dogs before that week, asked all the important questions, and was patient with our picky little Chihuahua. While we were gone she sent daily photos, clarified anything that wasn’t clear, and made sure our dogs were entertained during a rainy couple of days. She left our house clean and well cared for. I would ask her to dog sit again in a heartbeat.”

“We booked Cheryl for last minute peace-of-mind and it was everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. Our dogs were well looked after, and Cheryl took excellent care of our home.”

“Christina was GREAT!! She was great with my little guy Otis. I was traveling for 3 weeks and never felt concerned as I knew he was in good hands, getting all the love and cuddles he needed. She was great at communicating too... sending short videos and cute photos. Would highly recommend to anyone who is hesitant to leave their fur baby home alone.”

“Janessa & John were amazing and I had no concerns about leaving my Littles (2) in their good hands. I would definitely recommend their services and will have them back again.”

“I would give Ali 10 stars if I could!!! Ali was great with our pup. She did a meet and greet a couple of days prior to the house sitting engagement. We had recently got Zoya, she had been rehomed to us and wanted someone who could care for her well during this adjustment perio. Ali did a great job keeping Zoya busy and also was super communicative throughout the day on play time, food etc. Our pup had a great time with Ali and I already have another appointment coming up next week. Also, Ali cleaned our kitchen, which was totally not needed, but so greatly appreciated. Ali loves dogs and you can see that right away. If you are looking for a reliable, trust worthy, communicative dog sitter, look no further!!”
“Highly recommend enlisting Carrie for all your pet needs! She was very responsive, available on a semi-short notice, highly communicative and sent photos and updates throughout the day and respectful of our space, leaving the apartment spotless. I could tell through the photos and from her behavior when we returned from our trip, that my dog was well taken care of and comfortable with Carrie. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”

“Great dog sitting experience with Jenna!! So kind and thoughtful of our dogs needs! Unfortunately we had a need for Last minute booking and Jenna was available and we were blessed!!”


About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Today, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and I’ve also cared for larger animals like horses, so I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I spent five years working at a high-end, high-occupancy pet resort, where I cared for a large volume of dogs and cats in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, manage different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care even in high-pressure situations. I genuinely love what I do, and I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets. I’m the same way with mine. That’s why I show up with patience, reliability, and real care every time. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like their own, you’ve found the right person. I work full-time Monday through Friday, which makes me a great option for weekend trips and getaways. During the week, I have a hybrid schedule, so I’m available for early morning or late evening walks and check-ins on specific days. I care for both your pet and your home with a lot of respect and attention to detail. I’m big on cleanliness and keeping things in order, so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I also understand that accidents happen, and I’m always prepared to quickly clean up things like potty accidents or throw-up to keep your home clean and your pet comfortable. For walks, I’m extremely vigilant and safety-focused. I pay close attention to surroundings, other dogs, and your pet’s behavior at all times. Your dog’s safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every walk is secure, structured, and stress-free.
“Dustin took great care of our dog over 4th of July weekend, which is always tough for our little guy. Like many dogs, the fireworks really scare him. It was so relieving to know our pup was in good hands. We sincerely appreciate it!”


“Jenna is the best Rover sitter I've found! Sends regular updates, is super thoughtful and takes great care of my older pup. Trustworthy, reliable. Have used her before and will continue to book with her!”

“Jazmin was great! She kept our house clean, followed all instructions, and even helped give our dog eye drops when it wasn’t in the initial instructions. Our animals were very happy with her! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos of our babies!”

“Sabrina was very professional and made me feel really good about leaving my senior kitty for the weekend. She sent daily pictures and videos and my house was in better condition than when I left. Feeling lucky to have her sitting for us again in a couple of weeks!”

“We usually do drop ins for our kitties but did house sit this time and it worked out amazing! Jazmine is responsible, dependable, and communicative. We get a pretty detailed recap of the day and lots of videos and pictures. Of course the kitties loved it and housesit worked a lot better for my cat that picks at his food throughout the day. We didn’t have to worry at all. Ty Jazmine you are the best!!”

“This is my second time booking RJ to watch my dog at my place and he was amazing once again. He sends daily pics and updated me on how my little girl was doing which provides a lot of peace of mind, especially having a senior dog. Whenever he had a question he would reach out which I appreciated.”

“Mary was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her (our first time leaving him with someone besides family). She sent adorable photos throughout the week. She communicated with us prior to, during and after the house sitting. I think our dog Zac wanted to go home with her! We will definitely call Mary again. So glad we found her! Kathy & Brian & Zac”


About: I've taken care of my dogs, friends' dogs, and house-sat for dog owners. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday, and I’m fully available Thursday through Saturday. On those days, I can give your pet my full attention and focus on their care, routine, and needs. On Sunday through Wednesday, I am available before 8 am and after 8 pm. I provide dog sitting and dog walking with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine. I am comfortable with small dogs and large dogs who need a lot of exercise.
“Melinda is one of the BEST dog sitters I have ever had! Not only did she take amazing care of Louie, my cranky old pup, she kept me informed about his daily activities and noticed that he was shaking his head and might have an ear infection, which tells me she was extremely aware of his actions. On top of being so loving and caring to Louie, she left my house cleaner than I left it! Melinda is a kind, compassionate and professional, and I am over the moon to have such a wonderful dog sitter!”

West Sacramento pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover. Thanks to such a great experience with Christina, we'll be back! She kept us updated on our pups while we were away and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. I think they're missing her as much as they missed us!

Jacob was awesome. I needed a dog sitter for two large retrievers for a short out of town trip. Jacob was available and we set up a time to meet. Jacob was prompt and very professional. I was very comfortable with having him stay at my home with the dogs. During his stay, he was very communicative and sent lots of photographs. He didn’t mind my constant checking in from afar. My neighbors gave him their nod of approval. He treated my dogs like they were his own and that was much appreciated. They were very spoiled while under Jacob’s care. I would highly recommend Jacob. You won’t be disappointed. I look forward to having him return for future dog sitting.

I've worked with several other wonderful house sitters on Rover, but Tricia is exceptional in her professionalism, experience, communication, positivity, and problem solving capabilities. My dear pitbull rescue is a shy boy and typically it takes a few days to feel safe with a new sitter. Tricia had good sense for how to earn his trust and provide care that brought out the best in him. During our work with Tricia, we received detailed updates and photos about Momo's day which was a peace of mind for us on our trip. She promptly communicated with any questions or issues that came up, but Tricia demonstrated good judgement in her decision-making process and was able to accurately support Momo and his needs. Couldn't recommend Tricia enough; she is our first choice for future house sitting and pet care in the future.

I have worked with Mary several times for weekend getaways but this last stay was for almost 3 weeks while I was in Europe. She is organized, reliable, and kind. She is so wonderful with my old boy Marshall. He had a health change right before I left and he needed meds. Mary stepped in without missing a beat to give him the extra care and attention he required. She sent lots of pictures and we even scheduled a FaceTime call so he could hear my voice (and I could see him). I can’t tell you what peace of mind it gave me to know she was taking care of him. And she left my house in perfect condition, as well. I highly recommend Mary. She is a Gem!

Hailey always takes great care of our pets, in luding a senior dog who requires extra attention and medication. She sends photos and updates frequently. She is very tidy and leaves our home clean when she departs. If you are looking for a respectful, clean, attentive sitter, look no further.

Kirstin was excellent! We have two dogs, one of which is usually slow to warm up to new people. Kirstin was a pro. She took her time with him, and he warmed up to her in no time. Additionally, she took our boys out for frequent walks, cleaned up after them, and kept the house in great condition. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on everything. We couldn’t be happier; will definitely use her services in the future. A+

Second time we asked Carrie to watch our dogs and she was very easy to coordinate with and took good care of our more sensitive senior dog. She sent plenty of photos while we were on our trip which we loved. Our dogs were very happy when we got home. Definitely recommend booking with Carrie!
