About: I have several years of experience helping taking care of family and friends dogs, as well as my own. I have a lot of experience with walking, feeding and making sure dogs get lots of love and attention. When I had my own dog I always made sure to prioritize walking her and finding new things to teach her. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to fit pet care into my schedule, throughout the week. I currently work part-time, which gives me free time, especially on the weekend. I keep my calendar updated and only accept booking I know I can commit to. I am currently only offering dog walking and check-in visits. During visits, I will closely follow each owners instructions to make sure their dogs stay on their normal schedules including walking, playing and giving them food and water. I prefer to connect with clients beforehand so I can make sure I understand the dogs specific needs and send lots of updates throughout the visit.

“Jessica is the type of person you want to care for your furry friends. She is nice, compassionate and attentive to my dogs needs. Jessica has experience working with senior dogs and is very patient with my 15 year old pup. I am so grateful Rover helped me find her. Book Jessica!”

About: Hi fur family! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has had the joy of loving dogs from all sizes: from chihuahuas to beagles to labs. I know how important your fur baby is, and since I work with children during the week, I'm full of patience and know how to handle all kinds of personalities with a calm and caring touch. I also love sending photo updates, so you’ll never be far from the fun. I can’t wait to meet you and treat your pup like my own! I’m currently in college and work with children during the weekdays, but I’ve kept my weekends open so that you can have a fun time out knowing your pup is in good hands! I am patient and calm all while maintaining my pup’s routines, such as regular feeding times and exercise. I am also an early bird so I would have no problem taking your pup out for their first walk of the day!

About: Dog Experience: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. When I was growing up, I owned and trained a black Labrador, and later our family adopted a Golden Retriever Labrador mix. My favorite doggy adventures were running on the beach with our sweet Honey, and then bathing her before coming in the door. She passed away last summer due to cancer, and I miss her very much. I currently volunteer at the East Bay SPCA. I am an active member of the Jog-A-Dog program, and exercise shelter dogs by taking them on short 3-mile jogs around parks and neighborhoods. I have experience working with a variety of breeds and temperaments, from adults to puppies, including both anxious, reactive, confident, and laid-back animals. Cat Experience: I also grew up with a stray American shorthair cat who adopted our family when I was in kindergarten. When I would play in my neighborhood, the cat took notice of me, and our bond grew from there. We developed our own sign language, where I would hold out my hand to her, and she would come up to me and lick it, then follow me everywhere. Slowly, she started hanging around our house until my dad finally invited her inside. My mom walked into the living room one afternoon and caught my dad sitting on the couch with the cat purring on his lap. It was then that we all realized that this cat had made its way into our hearts and become a permanent member of our family. I think I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, just because cats always seem to be drawn to me. However, I have a big heart for all types of animals, reptiles, and insects. Other pet experience: In college I adopted a turtle from our neighbor because the owner could no longer care for it. I would take the turtle with me a few times to the park on the weekends, where it could graze on fresh green grass and bask in the sunshine. I also had a few betta fish at the time, and taught them how to leap into the air for a few seconds (with the promise of food, of course). Insect Experience: I love butterflies!! I have always loved butterflies -- my first word was "butterfly". When I was in first grade I was wandering around our neighborhood, waiting for my friend to get home so we could play together. I cam across a Monarch butterfly caught in a spiderweb that was plasterd against the outside windowsill of my neighbor's house. After staring at it for a little while, I noticed the butterfly's wings start to move. I reached my hand into the spiderweb and set the butterfly free. The butterfly crawled onto my hand and it was then that I realized the wings were damaged. My friend came out of her house soon after, and we created a little home for the butterfly to receive plant nectar and water (in a lid). Then my parents arranged to visit my great-grandmother in a nursing home, so I took the butterfly to show her. We traveled by airplane to Ohio. My mom said that my great-grandmother had lived in Pacific Grove, CA, before she was sent to Ohio, and would watch the Monarch butterfly migration take place in her backyard. When my great-grandmother saw the Monarch butterfly I had brought her, she lit up! She still remembered the butterflies from her hometown and was very grateful to see the butterfly alive and well through its journey to Cleveland, OH. Throughout my life I've had multiple experiences with various types of butterflies landing on me while hiking or lounging by the pool with my family. It's always a magical and awe-inspiring experience.

“It was such a pleasure to watch Kathleen interact with my dog. She knew exactly what to do and Aubree warmed up to her immediately. I feel confident having her walk my dog. Thanks, Kathleen.”

About: Hi!! My name is Aurora and I’m so excited to take care of your furr baby or babies! I have years of experience taking care of a wide range of pets from cats to big and small breed doggies. I love animals and believe they are a member of the family and should be treated as such! I have been relied on for walking my friends and neighbors doggies, cat sitting, and routine check ins to ensure that their fur babies are happy, healthy and, most of all, not lonely! As you can see from my pictures, my partner and I have three amazing fur babies, two of which are cats and one big doggy. Our two cats are Hela and Athena and our big goofy fluff ball of a doggie is named Loki. Because I raised my little family members from babies, I am more than comfortable taking care of puppies or kittens also! Pet care fits easily into my schedule — I work Monday-Friday 8-4pm—, leaving early mornings, evenings, and the rest of the weekends open for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine—feeding, walks, play, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.

About: I have pet sit two cute poodle mixes for 10 days recently and also pet sit a medium sized dog for the weekend. My sister has two large dogs with whom I have spent a lot of time! I love spending time with dogs and cats! I assure you that your pets will get a lot of play time! I go to office twice a week so I am available on most days. I am also available on weekends and weekday evenings. So, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I live in an apartment complex with place to walk dogs. It is a 2 bedroom apartment. It is a dog friendly community but has breed restrictions. Cats are welcome!

“Kruti was amazing taking care of our three puppies - she walked them for a long time and they came back exhausted. She was also extremely attentive and caring, I do feel like she took care of them like they would be her own”

“I had such a great experience with Skye’s walk! The service was attentive and thoughtful from start to finish. Skye came back happy, calm, and well-exercised, and I could tell she was cared for with patience and attention to detail. I really appreciated the updates and the way her needs were prioritized. Highly recommend!”

“Charlene is absolutely wonderful with our dog! She’s our go-to for walks three days a week and has been incredibly reliable and attentive. She communicates clearly, always gives thoughtful updates, and I can tell she genuinely cares. I always feel confident that our dog is safe and well taken care of when he’s with her. Highly recommend!”

About: My whole live I’ve been surrounded by dogs. My parents currently have 7 in their home. I’ve taken care of every aspect- walking, feeding, picking up poop, training, bathing, brushing teeth, giving medicine, etc. I thought I was just a dog person but found my love and admiration for cats during COVID. My previous neighbors had a cat that visited us every day. I taught her how to sit, walk under my legs, and paw for treats. I made churru ice cubes for her on hot days. If I get the chance to take care of your pet, I will make sure to give them all the pets and attention they desire. I’m working full time remote and my schedule is mostly flexible. Being able to visit/walk/take care of your loved one will definitely brighten up my day. If you have specific instructions on how you want me to care for your pet, I'm happy to follow it - With my own pets, I'm structured with their meals, walks, and training. If walking, please let me know how you want them to interact with other people and/or pets so that we can stay safe.

“Kaila has been the best to our boy Rambo and has been taking him for his afternoon walks. She's punctual and sweet and Rambo easily warmed up to her.”

“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.”

Wei L.

“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”

Triparna C.

“My doggies love her! I was worried because I have a scared/timid boy and he does really well with her, he had a tough first day but she was so patient and kind with him. She does great and worries about my doggies like she would her own! She’s really nice too. Easy to work with!”

Tara B.

“I appreciate Sophia (preferred name Andy) so much! He is fantastic at handling my high energy and timid puppy. He is a competent dog walker and I know my pup is in good hands. I also appreciate his flexibility when it comes to scheduling.”

About: I have 9 years of hands-on animal rescue experience including fostering, TNR work and caring for pets from outdoor rescues. Through this volunteer work and my unconditional genuine love for all animals, I’ve learned to be patient, observant, and gentle, giving each animal the time and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure I have the time and flexibility to give each pet my full attention. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and unhurried visits so pets feel relaxed and well cared for. I’m especially comfortable caring for rescue pets and understand that trust can take time, so I always move at each pet’s pace and respect their individual boundaries.

About: I worked as a vet tech assistant for two years, and have taken care of a multitude of animals, from turtles, to birds, big dogs to baby cats, and almost everything in between. I have also taken my own dogs to training classes and have one certified as an emotional support animal. I have personally had dogs my whole life (cocker spaniels and a German Shepard), and at one point in my life, I lived with the head of the K-9 unit of the flint police department and got to experience how they teach and train their dogs too. while my current dog is staying at my parents, I am looking forward to welcoming new animals into my home to help fill the void for the time being. I am a very kind, caring, and loving person who sometimes relates more to animals than fellow humans :p Right now, I am a stay at home dad who can take care of any pet almost 24/7, as well as being able to take dogs for walks or to the dog park if wanted. My daughter loves animals as well and will be able to play with your pet too. I follow all rules and guidelines set by the owner, I have gates in my house to keep animals and children out of certain areas, will set up a dedicated food and drink area for the animals. We allow dogs and cats on the furniture and in the bed at my house, and will abide by whatever the owner asks of us if we are staying at their home. I may sure to take them outside once every 1-2 hours, as well as a walk twice a day at minimum, and/or a trip to the park or dog park if allowed. I have a mostly fenced in backyard, but still take dogs out to the bathroom on leash. We can also create a dedicated kitty litter spot as well.
