About: Hi, I’m Jasmine — a dedicated dog walker and sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and training levels. I share my home with three standard poodles, all agility- and obedience- trained, and I’ve fostered and rehabilitated countless rescued “oodles of poodles.” My background includes whelping litters, supporting dogs in distress, and providing structured, confidence-building care for nervous or high-energy pups. I hold a Fear Free Shelter Certificate of Completion and I’m certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. Whether you’re traveling for work or taking a much-needed vacation, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. With three standard poodles, pet care is already part of my everyday routine. I plan dedicated blocks for walks, drop ins and dogs who needs extra care. I provide calm, consistent, and safety-focused care whether a dog is in my home or theirs. I monitor behavior closely, keep the environment clean and secure, and use Fear Free handling to reduce stress.

“Justin was great with my Belgian Malinois, Peanut. He arrived on time, was very patient, and listened carefully to all instructions. I appreciated how attentive and calm he was during the walk. Peanut seemed comfortable with him right away. Would definitely book again! In fact, I'm booking him again right now.”

About: With over 13 years of pet care experience—including a decade dedicated specifically to dogs—caring for animals is both my passion and my calling. I raised my own rescue, a friendly Labrador/Pitbull mix, from the time he was a tiny four-week-old pup, so I deeply understand the level of patience, tenderness, and attentiveness every dog deserves. I offer attentive overnight care and day services tailored to your dog’s unique routine. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, invigorating walks, or cozy downtime, I adapt completely to their needs. I'm a student at UCSB. When I am off class, I work part-time with rover. Taking care of your dog would be far from a job for me. Tending to the loving companions dogs are fulfills my day like no other. My neighborhood is surrounded by pet owners so ur dog will have company on his/her walks. Dog sitting at the owners house will also not be a problem, and I'm very reachable on my phone for constant updates.

About: With over six years of hands-on experience in animal care, I bring professional, knowledgeable care to every pet I look after. I have worked in veterinary hospitals and pet boarding facilities, where I’ve been trusted to administer medications, monitor health, and respond calmly to pets’ individual needs. Alongside my clinical background, I also bring strong customer service experience—so pet parents can expect clear communication, reliability, and peace of mind every step of the way. Most importantly, I truly love animals and believe great care should be both safe and fun. Whether it’s medication time, playtime, or cuddle time, your pet will be cared for like family (with plenty of tail wags and happy purrs included). I am currently a full-time student. I have the availability to work around your schedule as you need. I am flexible, and willing to work. I care for pets in my home based on the way you would in yours. I desire to create a seamless transition into a new environment for your pet, allowing for max comfortability. I am very flexible with routines, and desire nothing more than to form long lasting connections with my clients and their furry (or scaly) friends!

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. Growing up, I had four cats, and still do cat-care on weekends. I have more recently pet-sat for dogs, and taken both smaller and larger dogs on walks (from a Shih-Poo to a Bernese Mountain Dog). I will take care of your fur baby like I would take care of my own. I just graduated college, so I can spend the majority of my week walking and pet-sitting for all of your needs. Although I am set to one-day book at the earliest, I am open to same-day inquiries if needed. I have a fenced yard, and your fur baby would be allowed on beds, the couch, and will have a lot of room to run around inside and be taken for walks.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around dogs and cats of all sizes since I was young. I work from home full-time, so flexibility is definitely on my side. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every walk and drop-in safe and stress-free! I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or pet sitting, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my day while giving them the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow your instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and favorite routines. I know every pet is different, and I strive to make each visit feel as stress-free and familiar as possible while treating your home with the same respect I’d treat my own.

About: I have had a dog almost my entire life. I love animals of all kinds and will help you out with your dog if needed. I will take your dog on walks and give you updates along the way of our progress. I do have a job that I work in the morning and am free every afternoon. I have a dog myself that I love very much. I rescued her when she was a baby and it was a long process on getting her to where she is now. She was traumatized. She’s now 12 years old and as everyone says..... “she’s the best dog in the world.” If you need help walking your dog or day time feeding, hit me up. I’d be happy to help.

Additionally, my lifelong love for dogs and cats drives my dedication to providing the best possible care for your pets. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to pet care. I only have online classes at ASU Online, which means I'm available throughout the day to take care of your pets. This flexibility ensures that I can provide consistent, attentive care, whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or other needs your pets may have. My commitment to your pets' well-being fits seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring they receive the best care possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities.

About: I’ve grown up with furry friends my whole life. Whether it was taking care of my family’s Labrador Retrievers, my friend’s French Bulldog, or my own fur baby named Rory. I’ve always had a heart for animals, being able to earn their trust and love is so rewarding! I have experience volunteering at animal shelters, overnight pet sitting, medication management, and dog walking. I am also very active, so long walks or jogs with your fur baby is always welcomed by me! Our pets make our lives better and in turn we should do the same for them! I currently have an extremely flexible schedule and am willing to work with you and your pup to find the right routine! I am available throughout the week. I take caring for pets very seriously. I will always respect your space and ensure that your fur baby is in a safe, comfortable, and cared for environment!

Trina was extremely good at spotting off-leash dogs on our walk, which was particularly helpful for a reactive dog like our GSD/Husky/Chow Chow mix. She was attentive and got along super well with our dog, and we will definitely be hiring her again.

We’re so relieved to have found Trina! One of our dogs takes time to warm up to people and can get scared very easily. Due to this, we haven’t been able to find a trustworthy sitter for any of our travels. I feel so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care and couldn’t recommend her enough.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
