“Morgan was wonderful! She is an excellent communicator and very authentic in her care for Izzy. She sent great updates and photos. We will certainly use her in the future to care for our fur child.”

About: I have over a decade of experience working with animals, first in the veterinary field and then as a professional dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement methods to help bring out the best in dogs, making training fun and providing structured physical and mental outlets for them. I have experience with all types of dogs, from high energy puppies to mobility challenged seniors. I have also worked with dogs of different temperaments and with specific behavioral needs. I look forward to hearing about your dog and how I can help you bring out the best version of them. I am currently going back to school so I have a flexible schedule, and it changes every few months. Please reach out to ask me about me specific availability and I will do my best to accommodate you. I am happy to provide care for your pets in their home, where they will be most comfortable. I can check in on them, provided them with food, water, potty breaks, and I am happy to hang out and keep them company if that is something you would like. I can also send text and photo updates for you can be confident your pet is being well cared for.
“Azul loves Rachel she walks at her pace and Rachel is very responsible. Azul seems happy when she comes back home and when Rachel comes to pick her up for her walk Azul is very happy.”

“Logan was super professional and kind. I really appreciated his patience with my shy girl. I never worried about Penelope knowing she was in great hands. I loved all the updates and pics!”

“She’s amazing! A huge life saver able to do a half hour cat check in and dog walks last minute after I hurt my foot. Sarah is absolutely wonderful with animals, her genuine passion and love shows in everything she does. I’d recommend her to anyone and will be using her services again!”

“Jill is fantastic! She is on time pays attention and does great with our dog Jack. She leaves nice Rover Cards with the best pictures! Would definitely recommend Jill for midday walks for your furbabies!”

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.
“Steve took great care of my wild 80lb puppy. He was nice enough to come over for a meet n greet first which immediately put our mind at ease. He was awesome at following instructions and the picture updates were amazing. Thank Steve!!”

About: I have hands-on experience fostering rescue dogs for the past two years—especially puppies. I’ve helped rehabilitate malnourished, abandoned dogs and guided them into loving forever homes. My own dog is a foster fail I nursed back to health at just 2 months old after she was found on the street. Since then, I’ve fostered an entire litter of five puppies, all of whom were successfully adopted. I specialize in caring for young dogs and have a deep understanding of their needs—whether it’s feeding, socializing, crate training, or just giving them the love and patience they deserve. That said, I truly adore dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m currently studying from home, so your dog will never be left alone, and I live near two fully fenced parks for safe, fun playtime. Since I’m studying from home, I have the flexibility and time to give dogs my full attention throughout the day. My own dog has set a great routine for me—morning walks, playtime in the nearby fenced parks, feeding, training moments, and lots of cuddles in between. I love staying active and making sure dogs are both mentally and physically stimulated. Whether it’s short potty breaks, long sniffy walks, or just hanging out together while I study, caring for dogs blends seamlessly into my day. In my home, pets have a cozy and safe environment to relax and play. I have a crate available for those who are crate-trained or need a quiet space to rest, along with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I also have access to two fully fenced parks just a short walk away, perfect for playtime and exercise, plus a fenced front porch for fresh air and people-watching in a safe spot. I keep a clean, calm space and follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means meal schedules, medications, or snuggle time. Your dog will be treated like one of my own!
“Stephanie was very responsive and did a great job of updating me during and after my dog’s walks. She was super kind and friendly and does so well with dogs, Quill loved her! I would definitely book with her again.”

“Parker took excellent care of Baloo during drop-in visits. He did a great job of following my list of pretty extensive instructions, and spent extra time keeping my anxious boy company. I received daily photos of a happy dog! I will not hesitate to book with Parker and Alysa again.”

“Danika is a great communicator. Appreciated the text messages and pictures of the dogs. She was very considerate of the dogs in terms of the temperature outside for walks. Made adjustments to walking depending on the weather. Showed concern for our dogs' well-being and safety.”


About: I have been watching other people’s dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have cared for animals big and small, reptiles included. At this time I am only working with cats, reptiles, and small dogs. I have worked with all sorts of temperaments and am diligent about making sure they get adequate potty breaks and food. Playtime is a priority, too. I want to ensure that you and your pet are satisfied! I have skills in medication administration - oral and injectable - for cats of all ages and temperaments. I have oral medication experience with dogs. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am currently working from home so I am able to work your pet into my schedule quite easily! I can come multiple times a day. I believe your pets’ safety is of the utmost importance. To maintain their safety I will keep your dog securely on a leash when we go on a walk. I will ensure that your cat or dog does not get out of the house when they are not supposed to be outside. Finally, I will build a good rapport with your beloved pets so that they will trust me, and so you can trust me, too!
About: I worked at a boarding business for about a year and a half for dogs and cats. I worked with all different sizes and breeds, and ages of dogs and cats. My job tittle including playing and cuddling with the animals, feeding the animals, cleaning where they stayed, and giving medicine to the animals that required it. I have a little more than basic knowledge of dogs and cats health and always try to stay up to date with that. I dog sit and cat sit for friends and families regularly aswell. I have always grown up around animals and if you were to ask anyone who knows me they will say I have always wanted to work with animals since I knew what a job was. I am currently a college student and am majoring in wildlife conservation, while that's not specifically a major for cats and animals I still have and will learn a lot about those species as well!! I currently don't have a job so my schedule is really open. I work out everyday usually in the mornings to early afternoons. But I have a very flexible schedule! I have a fenced backyard just under 2acres of land. So it is very spacious for bigger dogs to run around in! I am able to walk dogs for however long.
About: I have a lifelong background in animal care, growing up on my family’s horse ranch, where I spent 20 years working with animals and learning the ins and outs of ranching. For the last five years it was under our ownership, I took on managing the ranch. Throughout this time, dogs were always by my side—starting with my childhood Australian Heeler, who went everywhere with me. After she passed, I raised and trained three Border Collie-Aussie cattle dogs, all skilled in on- and off-leash commands. My parents also had dogs—a dachshund and two small rescues—which created a lively, dog-friendly environment. When we sold the ranch, I moved my Border Collies to my parents' seven-acre property, where they could have the space they were used to. After graduating from college, I moved to Las Vegas for my career as a chemical engineer. I left my dogs with my parents, knowing they’d be happier in a spacious environment rather than alone during my long workdays. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for a variety of other animals and love all animals. My goal here isn’t financial—I’m genuinely looking to reconnect with animals. I’d love to find a good match with a dog to start with short neighborhood walks and gradually work up to longer walks and even hikes if we are all comfortable with it. I'm an engineer who recently moved to Las Vegas, and after the move I realized how much I missed being around animals. I've always loved dogs and joined Rover as a way to spend my weekends doing something I genuinely enjoy. I'm dependable, responsible, and detail-oriented, and I'll treat your pet like they're my own. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, you can count on me to provide safe, loving care and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way. I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained. In your home, I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I'll also keep your home clean and secure while you're away. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, and I'll send regular photo and message updates so you have peace of mind.
About: Ive had many pets throughout my life. Majority being dogs. Ive had dogs of many sizes and breeds. Ive had three pitbulls, three chihuahuas, two german shepherds, and one saint bernard!! I work part time, my shifts usually being from 6 am - 1 pm on weekdays, which gives me much of my day to take care of your pets! Weekends are a bit more difficult due to the fluctuations in my work schedule but I'm pretty casual when it comes to working around things! I have a fenced yard, its not too big but there is space! I can also take your pet for a walk if they yard is not good enough! I will not leave your pet in a crate but instead allow them to roam freely (Unless you specifically want them to be crated).
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Balboa Heights is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Balboa Heights
Teresita is so kind and wonderful both as a human and dog walker! :) My dog instantly fell in love with her. She is quick to respond, great with my dog, and clearly communicates with you to see if your pet needs anything extra while she’s there. I highly recommend her, you won’t regret it

Second time either Victoria was even better! Great frame-worth photos, she went at Rosie’s pace and let Rosie show her around the neighborhood, and on top of that she’s reliable, a good communicator, and a genuine person. I’m speeding through this review so I can get to the screen where I book her again

Nicole is simply amazing. This was my first time ever using Rover and we got so lucky finding Nicole. My dog is very nervous around new people, and she did an amazing job respecting her boundaries and was so patient with her. Will definitely book with her again and recommend her to everyone!

Stephanie has been such a blessing to our home. She has a real sense for dogs, how to relate to them and how to work with them. My little guy has a fearful bent and his response to fight or flight is to fight. This did not intimidate Stephanie as it does many sitters and she was able to work with him right from the meet and greet. They quickly bonded and she’s just been amazing! She’s definitely a keeper!

Makenna was great with my dog Bodhi! He needed some extra walks during the day while I was away on a last-minute work trip, and she made sure that he was well exercised and cared for by the time my partner got home. So grateful for her attentiveness and flexibility!

Oliver is great! His availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays works perfectly with my schedule at work. Very reliable and easy going, a critical thinker and able to anticipate a pet's needs. Both my late senior (RIP) and young foster took to him easily. Will book again!
