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’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving attention to their pets, whether for a quick visit or extended stays. I’ve worked at PetSmart and Ulta. I currently run a pet sitting and dog walking business called The Pet Nannies, where we also administer medications and offer overnight care when needed.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m excited to make it my main focus while I work toward my degree.

“Stephanie does a great job walking Teddy. She’s patient and caters to his needs whether it’s just a pee break or longer walk sniffing around the city.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole, all different sizes and breeds. I believe that pets need just as much love and care was we do. I can take care of a few weeks-senior. I am a vet tech and I always love to help pets in need. I help from senior pets to puppies and kittens that are coming in for their first check up. I make sure that pets have a safe and clean environment. Accidents may happen in the home and I make sure it’s clean and safe.
About: What can I say, but that I LOVE dogs, cats, and all animals in general! I grew up with a mutt--Yogi--my best friend for the 13 formative years of my life. I still dream of him sometimes. Since then, I have owned two more mutts and multiple cats....but no personal pets at this moment, owing to my present living situation. So...I get my animal fix by house and animal sitting. I have stellar references for my services that I am more than happy to provide for you. I am a semi-retired teacher, though still teach English online, part-time. Prior to this, I taught elementary school for many years. Currently, I also spend more time care-giving pets, as it affords me the perfect opportunity to still work online, and at the same time be with the creatures that I adore! I greatly look forward to becoming part of your extended family by lovingly and wholeheartedly caring for your pet when such help is needed by you. I look forward to meeting you soon! As an English teacher working online part time, I have PLENTY of time to care for, walk and play (and generally spend quality time) with your pets. I only care for animals in my clients' homes. As a trustworthy, diligent and meticulously clean woman, I can guarantee that you will be happy with how I treat both your home and your precious pets.

Alvarado Grdns dog parents share their Rover experiences
Pogo loved Jennifer. She is so kind and caring and dependable. Pogo is full of life and can be a handful at the door, excited to see Jennifer, and she was able to handle settling him down and getting his harness and leash on easily. He looked forward to her coming to walk him twice a day. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing someone to assist with dog walking.
Greg is a natural dog whisperer. I was reluctant when I first started using Rover, but I knew that I didn’t want to board my dogs every time I left town. My goal was to find a dog walker with the aspirations of finding a house sitter who could stay with our dogs when we travel. Let’s face it, it’s a total stranger and these are my babies and one of my babies is very particular about strangers. That baby happens to be a 200 pound English Mastiff so it’s hard to find people that want to walk him but also that he trusts. Well, it worked! Greg started walking our Mastiff three times a week prior to housesitting and our dog (s) fell in love with him. It was an easy transition. The housesitting was also a success. 🌈 I’m not going to lie, I gulped at first when I saw how much it would cost for the housesitting. However, when I looked at the cost to board 4️⃣ dogs, have them groomed, pay for the extra playtime bc lets face it, they are in a cage and then multiply it by four-I justified it and put faith in the Universe that it would work out. Greg took care of them as if they were his own. He walked each of them twice a day and played with them. We were able to leave the dogs in their environment, with their routine, their food, I could go on and on. Why Greg is so great: ⏰for starters he’s punctual — always on time. 📱 I love that you can see where they walk and he always takes pictures of the dogs while they’re on their walk and sends them to me. 🐕🐶The dogs love him. I’m going to regret weiting this review bc now he is going to be booked liked crazy, but he deserves the shout out!
Mercedes was amazing with my new shelter puppy. I hired her to walk her for a week during the lunch hour. By the end of the week my puppy was sitting and going into her crate on her own. Mercedes went above and beyond in taking the time to work with her and not just walk her. And my dog loved her too! I will definitely hire Mercedes again.
