About: Dogs aren’t just a job for me — they’re genuinely my passion. I spent 7 years as a dog hotel manager, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities every single day. I’ve worked with energetic puppies, sweet senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities who need extra patience and specialized care. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding routines, and making sure each dog feels safe, understood, and loved. I take pride in reading body language, keeping dogs on a consistent routine, and giving them the right balance of structure, play, and affection. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority, and I’ll treat them like family. Plus, every dog gets a free bath after every stay! I currently own a mobile dog bathing business on the weekends, so I am only available Mon-Thurs, dogs are my life, and I travel anywhere in Victorville, Hesperia, Adelanto, and Apple Valley! With all of my experience at multiple dog hotels, I can safely say I have seen it all and feel extremely comfortable with all dog breeds, sizes, and personalities.
About: Hi! I go by Alex, I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have three dogs of my own: Mako (the 9-year-old Pomeranian pictured on my profile), Sammy (a 13-year-old Terrier mix, not pictured), and Pumpkin (a 3-year-old Black Mouth Cur Pug mix, not pictured), so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet’s care, safety, and daily routine. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, usually the smaller to medium sizes, and all energy levels, whether they need long walks, structured feeding schedules, or simply extra attention and companionship while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable, secure, and loved from the moment we meet. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and cared for just like they would any day at home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I slightly work part-time, but I can usually always fit a walk or some type of care in, one way or another. Just lemme know! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, walking guidelines, and any special preferences your pet may have. I maintain a calm, clean, and attentive environment so pets feel secure and stress-free while in my care. I also believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy experience where both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident.

About: 🐾 A Lifetime of Love, Now Sharing It Through Rover Hi! I’m Isaac, and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 9 years. Before joining Rover, I worked for free because I simply love animals and wanted to help people in my community. Over time, my passion grew into a professional career where I get to do what I love every day — caring for dogs and making pet parents’ lives easier. I’m also an up-and-coming book writer, which means I’m extremely organized, focused, and detail-oriented. I take notes on every dog I care for so I can fully understand their personality, quirks, and needs. I always do meet & greets before starting any job so that your pet feels comfortable and you can feel confident that they’re in safe hands. I’m calm, patient, and dependable, even in the most stressful or chaotic situations — whether it’s handling a dozen energetic pups, an overly affectionate dog, or cleaning up big messes (which I always do so well you’d never know it happened!). I can handle pregnant dogs, multiple pets, and any breed, and I even offer free basic training for dogs who need a little help with manners — as long as they’re not aggressive. I understand all a dog’s cues — when they’re happy, nervous, or uneasy — and I always listen to what they’re trying to communicate. I take pride in the fact that I’ve never failed a single dog I’ve worked with, no matter how challenging the job was. The only pets I don’t take are aggressive or unpredictable dogs that have a tendency to bite, nip. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and positive experience for every animal I care for. I’m quick to respond to requests and open to long-term clients who want a sitter they can rely on year-round. If you’re looking for someone who’s passionate, responsible, and treats your pets like family, I’d love to be your go-to sitter! 🐶💙 Hi there! I’m so excited to be offering my dog sitting, walking, and drop-in services here on Rover. While I may be new to the platform, I’m definitely not new to caring for dogs! For the past 9 years, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and neighbors — caring for pups of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve learned that every dog is wonderfully unique — and they deserve care that’s just as personal. Whether it’s a drop-in visit for some playtime and cuddles, a long refreshing walk, or overnight house sitting, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and understood. Here’s what makes my care a little different: 🐶 Heartfelt, Personalized Attention I don’t just “check in” — I connect. I take time to learn each dog’s quirks, favorite games, and comfort zones. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or needs a little extra patience, I adjust my approach to make them feel completely at ease. 🚶 Walks That Nurture Mind & Body Walks with me are more than just a potty break — they’re time for enrichment, sniffing adventures, and positive energy. I match your dog’s pace and personality to make each walk both fun and fulfilling. 🏡 Respectful, Reliable Care at Home When I’m in your home, you can trust I’ll treat it — and your pets — with the same care and respect I give my own. You’ll always receive clear communication, photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. ❤️ Built on Experience, Fueled by Love I’ve spent nearly a decade caring for dogs simply because I love it. Now, joining Rover lets me do what I love most — bringing comfort, joy, and trust to pets and their people. Your dog isn’t just another booking — they become part of my extended furry family. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, not just someone who “sits,” I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 🕓 Availability & Scheduling I aim to make pet care as flexible and stress-free as possible for every family I work with. 🐾 Drop-In Visits: Available any day and time — except on major family holidays. I’m happy to accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits to fit your dog’s routine. 🏡 House Sitting: I’m available for overnight or extended stays anytime. I just ask for at least one day’s notice so I can plan accordingly and give your pet my full attention. 🚶 Dog Walks: I offer walks daily between 3:00 PM and 11:00 PM — perfect for after-work strolls, evening walks, or nighttime potty breaks. Please note: I do not offer walks past 11:00 PM. Communication and consistency are important to me, so I always confirm bookings promptly and keep you updated with messages and photos during my visits. My goal is to give you total peace of mind — knowing your pets are cared for with reliability, love, and respect for your schedule. Hello!

About: ****BIG PACK FRIENDLY, MULTI-ANIMAL FRIENDLY, FARM ANIMAL FRIENDLY**** I do not judge and welcome all critters and special needs/routines. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I've had pets my entire life! I currently have dogs, cats, birds, and turtles. I foster homeless and lost pets that I find out in the streets, including hawks lol. I am very respectful with senior and disabled dogs. I am happy to give your pets medicine (if any), make homemade dog food if that's what you do, be alert when taking smaller dogs outside to pee, make sure pets don't sneak outside and ensure gates are locked to prevent run-aways. I love my pets and I will ensure to take care of your pets as I would with mine. I will make them feel comfortable, safe, loved while you are away, so don't worry! I will be happy to also send pictures and videos and hop on facetime, so you can chat with your babies! Please make sure to vet any sitter you hire. I have 3 reoccurring clients that I can give as references if needed. I work at office Tuesday-Thursday. Work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Available weekends. For certain circumstances, I can work from home, request PTO to adjust to your needs. Please ask to see what I can do for you. But when working from home, I am very attentive and always checking in and playing with pets. I often step away from my work to tend to your pets needs whether that's taking them out for a walk, out to pee/poop, feed them, play and take any medication of theirs (if any). I will take care of your pets as I take care of mine. I will ensure they are always in my sight and not be distracted on my phone. One thing about me is that I like to be present and not scroll away on my phone as much while on the job. I am always alert to hear if any pets are not chewing on things they're not supposed to in case of a choking hazard. In the past with foster pets, I've had to clear airways for them when they were choking, so I'm not afraid to stick my hand in their mouths to remove the object/food. I will ensure gates and doors are locked to prevent runaways.
About: Ever since I can remember, I loved animals. I have always had animals in my home since I was young and taking care of them comes naturally. I helped a few of my dogs with their litters. I also helped my aunt with her blind dog like I said I love animals and I’m here to help with whatever you need. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am available seven days a week to help you with your needs. I have a fenced yard so plenty of room for your dogs to play. I have two small dogs. One was a rescue. My dogs are inside dogs and are crated at night for bedtime.
“Roger and Amy were very professional and accommodating to my pup’s needs. They were on time and made sure she got everything she needed for her meal and walks. I will definitely request them again in the future knowing I can trust them with my baby. 🤍 Thank you both so much!”

“Joanna was the best possible choice we could have made. When things fell through for a sitter right before our big family road trip she came to the rescue and helped us out so much. She loved our doggos just like they were her own and treated them just as good, if not a little better due to all the walks, then we would have! Definitely our go to for the next time we need a little help”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 15! I’ve watched guineas, chinchillas, dogs, cats - I’d love to meet yours! :) I’m available to watch pets at all hours of the day - I live on a wide property with lots of room for running! :) With any pet I make sure they get lots of attention, patience and outside time. Unless requested otherwise, I feed twice a day kibble&wetfood :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apple Valley
Donelle was absolutely amazing. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment we met I could tell she was going to be great with our pets which made me feel so much more at ease leaving them in her care. I could tell they were genuinely comfortable and well cared for. She sent me updates and photos which I really appreciated. Coming home to happy relaxed pets says it all. I would 100% trust Donelle again and will definitely be booking with her in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and truly caring.

Linsey was incredible! She came through on short notice and gave our dogs so much love and attention. She was reliable, caring, and made the whole process stress‑free for us. Knowing our pups were in such good hands gave us real peace of mind. She truly helped us out and we’d absolutely hire her again!

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
