About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was very young. My family raised many different breeds over the years—from small companion dogs like Pugs, Pekingese, and Pomeranians to large breeds like German Shepherds and Great Danes. I developed a deep love for animals early on and have continued caring for pets into adulthood. I’ve owned both cats and dogs myself, and I’ve helped friends and neighbors care for their pets when they’re away. I’m comfortable bathing pets, giving medication when they’re sick.I treat every animal with patience and love, as if they were my own. As a new sitter on Rover, I’m currently offering a discounted rate to build my experience and reviews — while still providing full care and love! 🐾 I’m currently available full-time and have a very flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. Since I don’t host pets in my home, I focus on drop-in visits, dog walking, and in-home sitting. I always make time to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Although I don’t offer boarding at my home, I’m very experienced with in-home pet care. I will follow your instructions carefully to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or medication, I treat every pet with love and respect — just like family.

About: I have worked with animals for the past 6 years either taking care of them or training them. I use to work for a company that performed daily shows with animals such as dogs, cats, birds, and pigs. We would preform with them, train them, and take care of their daily needs. I have experience with feeding, meditation, and training. I was also a manager at a doggy daycare facility. I would train people on how to entertain the room with 15-50 dogs. Teach them how to manage multiple personalities and how to de-escalate conflict. My training experience is in basic commands, leash walking, as well as fun trick like behaviors. I’m a stay at home mom so my daily routine changes most weeks to include a few fun outings in the morning. I am typically gone from 9:30-12pm and home the rest of the day. My dogs have free roam of my house and backyard. They sleep on the bed and enjoy cuddling on the couch. When gone, I do crate them only because it seems to settle them more.

“I’ve been using Patricia for a few months now, and will continue to! My dog, Poppy, is always so excited to see Patricia on the days she walks her. And Patricia is always quick to respond and be flexible with my booking requests.”

“Brenna was an amazing dog walker! Our golden retriever loved her and always came home exhausted from her walk playtime. Brenna was so sweet, professional and helped us so much with our sweet pup! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! Thank you Brenna!”

“Debbie is absolutely a gem! She was so open to walking Cuzco for me, he felt comfortable with her. She kept up in communication with me while I was away. She went above and beyond for him, and I’m so grateful!”

Karenna S.

“Hanna has been indispensable in caring for our dog the past six months. Today she really went above and beyond with a last minute reschedule of visit times and a less than fun visit with his dietary upset. She is always cheerful and our pup just loves her, as fo we. 😊”

About: My family has had 4 golden retrievers, 1 pit bull, and 1 white lab throughout the years. Although I am new to Rover, I have years of experience with house sitting, dog walking, and pet care. I currently work full time but have Thursday and Friday off. I can walk before or after work any day of the week. Message me and I'm sure we can work something out. My dog has a huge yard to explore but we would still take him on walks outside the property often. I am 23 and have a lot of energy so I can handle dogs that are the same. I'm very accommodating. Explain how you like things handled and I will make sure it happens that way.

About: I have owned and cared for my family husky for years, managing all aspects of her care from walks to grooming to training. I have also regularly cared for a friend's dog, ensuring that he was safe, loved and well cared for in their absence. From this experience I have learned how to understand dog behavior, quickly gain their trust, and give the kind of consistent attention all dogs need. I focus on walks, feeding, playtime and attention around a regular schedule that keeps pets happy and relaxed. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are all fine with me to offer reliable, affectionate care that fits each pet's requirements. In my home or a client's I create a calm, pet safe space with no distractions or hazards. I adhere to all routines with precision, offer undivided attention and ensure pets feel secure, comfortable and loved. I follow clients' directions and treat all pets as family earning trust with consistency, patience and kindness.

About: 🔔 Owners, please read entire profile, as it contains very important information about what to expect, guidelines and requirements for your dogs stay! ***Drop off and Pick up windows must be no longer than 30 minutes*** I spent 10 years managing a large property in the Rancho Santa Fe area that had multiple breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. As part of my many managerial duties I oversaw the personal care, vet appointments and individual schedules of all of these beloved family pets. They were all an absolute joy and I’m happy to be able to offer the same level of care to your furry family members as well. ✔️New to Rover? Enjoy $20 off of your first stay! Just use code RUDAV63279 at checkout.👌🏼 I work from home, so pet care can very easily integrate into my current schedule. I regularly step away from my computer to take breaks, so taking a furry friend out for a walk is an added bonus! I will host up to 2 pets a night, I have separate gated areas in my home to ensure food schedules are calm and peaceful while keeping everyone happy as they’re being slowly integrated with one another, everyone is safe and secure at all times. All pets cared for must be potty trained, spayed/neutered, have absolutely no aggression issues towards other animals or people, are not constant barkers or cry and bark due to separation anxiety. ***Aggression issues and separation anxiety of any kind are non-negotiable.*** If your pet has any level of this type of behavior, it’s not the right fit for my home. It’s very important to maintain a calm, peaceful and safe environment for everyone sharing the space. For overnight boarding, pets will sleep downstairs in the main living room area on their own bed/crate, pets will not be permitted to be on furniture or in the upstairs bedroom areas. VERY IMPORTANT: Also, please make sure that all personal care, vet and emergency contact info is up to date on your pets profile as well. Vet and Emergency contact info are required before I will accept a booking.

“Viktoriia is absolutely amazing. She’s very easy to work with, and seems to get along with any dog. She was very flexible in terms of coordinating both to meet, as well as to schedule walks. She’s very easy-going, and really pays attention to the individual needs of every dog. She’s very easy to communicate with, trustworthy, and is incredibly responsive as well. I would recommend her highly to anyone and certainly would request her again.”

“This is our first time using Natalyia. We are so happy with her service. She walked our golden retriever, I was so surprised our golden really enjoyed his walks with her. He is a very anxious dog and it takes a lot to calm him . However we were surprised how quickly he got adjusted with her and was looking forward to his walks each and every time. Natalyia is very calm, patient and completely remove all his anxiety and fears.”

About: ⸻ I have two cats (age 3) and a large, 100+ lb dog (age 1) at home. While I don’t offer cat care due to the cats’ sensitivity, I love hosting friendly dogs to keep my pup company. My dog is gentle, well-trained through both private sessions and group classes, and absolutely loves playing with other dogs. I started this journey mainly to find him good playmates. If your dog enjoys socializing too, we’ll be a great match! I’m currently home full-time during the week ,so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pup! My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate special routines or needs. I have a fully fenced yard and a well-trained, friendly large dog who loves having playmates. My home is safe, calm, and pet-friendly. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any feeding or medication schedule provided.
