About: Growing up, I have helped raise 2 cats and 2 dogs. My first dog had 7 offspring, so I have experience with puppies. Additionally, my second dog, which happens to be one of the 7 puppies, grew to be 140 lbs, so I am also experienced with big dogs. I understand the attention puppies and dogs need, so I will be there to care for your dogs the same way I would care for my own. I’ve spent years picking up dog dropping’s and cleaning after them, know how to feed dogs on specific eating schedules, and understand the proper playtime needed to satisfy a dog’s needs. I also grew up with two cats. One of my cats was blind and deaf, so I know what caring for a disabled animal entails and am fully prepared to provide for that animal given instruction. I currently have two cats who are everything to me! I love being a cat mom! To me, pets are creatures that are extremely loyal and faithful, and they deserve nothing but the same treatment in return. I work full-time, but am often available in the mornings before 11am and on weekends. I can also be available in the evenings, but my work schedule tends to go until 7-7:30pm There are many different ways I’ll care for your pet. Just the basics: I’ll give your animal lots of love, play with them, and of course feed them and give them water. If they are in need of more care (ie disabled), I’ll give them the medication or and if he special treatments they need to help keep them happy and healthy.
“Natasha has been awesome with my fur baby. He enjoys his outing with her, she is attentive to belly rubs and giving my baby love while in her care. Very responsive to my crazy work schedule and stays in communication with me if any changes. I look forward to continued care with her!!”
About: I have spent my entire life around dogs, both caring for them as my own pets and doing paid dog-sitting. I have extensive experience with both small and large dogs. I have been in charge of bathing, walking, administering medication, and general playtime for a variety of pooches, and feel comfortable navigating dispositions ranging from quiet and timid to outgoing and rambunctious. I truly love all animals and cannot wait to meet yours! I am currently in between jobs, so I have lots of flexibility for pet care. Once a month, I am out of town Friday-Sunday, but otherwise I am open. I only plan to care for pets in clients' homes, not my own. I am very conscientious of safety and take every possible precaution in order to respect clients' homes and belongings, and of course ensure the safety of their pets.
About: We adore animals of all kinds. We have hardwood floors for accidents, and filtered water. We have a fenced yard for running around with our kids and potty, always allow indoor access, and we don’t leave your pet alone. James has volunteered at the Dog Shelter for years, has CPR/Rescue training(for humans) and an understanding of CPR and first aid for dogs. After many years of dog sitting, we've welcomed a variety of different dogs (around 50+ at last count) into our home. We have administered eye creams, injections, and many other medicines. We don't clip nails. We are happy to send pictures and videos and even facetime or video chat by request. James works from home, and we typically go for two walks a day so we are always happy to have a guest pet with us. We have thoughtfully organized our home to avoid dangerous substances, escape issues, and to ensure maximum joy and safety! We would love to give you a tour during a meet and greet.
About: I have experience with cats who are particularly anxious, I am able to provide much more than just feeding and regular care tasks. I have experience with emotional regulation for anxious cats and dogs , and I’m able to provide extra attention through extended stays, diverse kinds of play, and overnight care. I also have prior experience with elderly dogs who need special accommodation. I work only 2 days a week, and have a very open flexible schedule at the moment. I can provide a wide range of services, my most notable experience is working with anxious pets who need extra attention and love! For dogs, I prefer to take dogs on multiple walks (ideally 3 walks per day) to encourage lots of activity, I can encourage socializing if needed. For cats, I love to drop in and play, give affection or just coexist as needed!
“Chandlor did a great job walking my two dogs - together and separately. They greeted him with enthusiasm and came back well exercised. You can tell he has dogs of his own & knows how to communicate with them. Thanks, Chandlor”
“Megan was amazing! She was very attentive and thorough with her walks of Gnocchi and was so kind to him! I will book her again the next time Gnocchi needs a walk.”
“Jay is great with my little guy and he just loves the special attention he receives. Jay has been walking Chipper for a few months and he looks forward to his daily walks! Knowing that he is well cared for and spoiled while I am at work is such a relief.”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and rescued my own fur baby 5 years ago. I watch dogs for friends and family all the time and genuinely love having them around. I love that every dog has their own personality, and I'm happy to meet them where they're at, whether they're playful and outgoing or a little shy and need some space. I'm no replacement for their favorite human, but I hope to give them a friendly, warm, low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. 🐾 I'm currently working part time so I have a very flexible schedule. I'm available most week days all day, Saturdays all day and Sunday evenings. I have a car so can easily drop in for a visit or walk and pick up/drop off your pet. I live in a condo with my partner and a little Pomeranian named Romeo. I don't have a yard but live in a super walkable neighborhood with some parks nearby. I love staying active and driving to a trail/park from time to time to take a little hike.
About: I am a dog lover and lived with dogs my whole life. I have taken care of dogs on and off for the past 8 years including boarding, house-stays, and walks. I currently have pretty flexible schedule and can make my hours fit for you - if there is a time conflict I will make sure to inform you and propose another time (if applicable). I cannot currently board dogs in my home (my dog is going through cancer treatment), but I am happy to do house-stays or walks. I ensure pets have their boundaries respected and I will ask plenty of questions to understand your pet’s personality and potential reactivity.
About: I had two very pompous cats growing up. I now have a very lazy pitbull I rescued when he was a puppy and had the privilege of loving a beautiful and patient senior terrier. Safe to say I have experienced it all and it’s one of the greatest gifts :) I’m a recent graduate and I suppose one can say the job market is tough. However, because of this I have loads of free time!! Best way to spend free time is around lovely pets! I will treat you fur best friend as if they were my own. I’m very protective of my own and will be the same towards yours as well as shower them with tons of love!
“Annalise did an amazing job with Happy! Happy is a very friendly but anxious dog. I’m glad he got along with Annalise :) would definitely book again since I’m a frequent traveller.”
“Robin has been great at communicating quickly, getting to know my doggo, and gaining his trust! He’s a pandemic puppy so isn’t used to a dog walker. I’m so glad she’s been able to get him going as I start to go back to work.”

“Meredith is amazing! She was attentive, friendly, reliable and the dogs love her. She gives them a lot of time to sniff around and check out their surroundings. Can’t say enough about how comforting it was to know they were in good care.”

About: I have one French Bulldog, ZaZa who is three and a tiny poodle mix, Blake, who is 2.5! Blake has lived with me throughout most of my college experience ever since he was 2 weeks old. I trained him by myself while also taking care of zaza from time to time! I just graduated from UC Berkeley, and I am currently looking for a part time job, but as of now I am completely free to focus on caring for doggos! I also have my dog Blake at home with me, so I am open to fit with your schedule. Blake is an energetic dog, so I like to take him out on 3-5 walks everyday. I also take him to the dog park once a week to help release his energy and interact with other dogs. I have plenty of toys at home, and training treats! Since Blake is a poodle, and he has long curly hair, I have a grooming kit at home as well that we use once every two weeks!

Nicky has started walking my 7 year old Corgi. I really appreciate that she took some time to get to know him, ask about his personality on walks, and offer suggestions to help him get comfortable with a new human. She also was very open to slowly getting to know my other dog (3 year old Corgi) who is very anxious and takes a lot of time to warm up to new people. Thanks Nicky!
Kelly was wonderful with Mason! She was prompt, reliable, and had great communication. I really appreciated the photos and updates throughout his walk. She was attentive and caring, and I felt completely comfortable knowing Mason was in great hands. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️
Sydney followed all of the complicated instructions smoothly and handled my dog with separation anxiety gently in her first visit. She met my dog where she was and applied just the right amount of effort to try and get her out. Hopefully Sydney will be able to walk her again, so that they can get to know each other better and the anxiety will melt away. Thank you, Sydney!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Canyon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
