Charlii was great and asked multiple questions to get to know our dogs before proceeding with the walk. We’d definitely work with Charlii again!

Maia was great! Very friendly and you can tell she loves animals. She went out of her way to make sure my often anxious dog felt comfortable around her. Recommend.

Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.

Ananda was amazing - she was really helpful coordinating dates/times, she stopped by early to meet my dog, and she was lovely about keeping me updated with everything! I think she’d be a great sitter or walker that I’d recommend to anyone

About: I guarantee your dog knows I'm good people. With a very unfortunate allergy to cats, I've been a dog person since my first pooch at 13, a Jack Russell Terrier named Kody. I (somewhat sadly) have a lot of experience with elder dog care after caretaking my 12 year-old chihuahua Wesley after he was diagnosed with terminal congestive heart failure four years ago. Dogs aren't human but they are people, and they deserve the same consideration, attention, and care as any person. I work from home and live alone in a dog-friendly building, so I'm down for nearby walking and drop-ins, and a relaxed, quiet sleepover environment. Happy to arrange schedules that work best for you and your pup. I don't have a yard so much as a terraced downhill area, and it's unfenced, so potty breaks at my house will always be leashed. I very much believe in reading a dog's energy and behavior and matching it, so if your dog is a couch potato - cool, let's hang. If they're high energy, I can absolutely tire them out. Happy to take your pup to the park or the beach if you're okay with it.

About: Hello! I've been pet-sitting professionally since September 2023 and have done walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. This includes caring for senior dogs who need mobility assistance and have a hard time hearing and seeing. I also volunteered at my local animal shelter during college, where I had weekly shifts walking, playing with, and socializing dogs in the shelter. Additionally, I have experience caring for my own pet rats, and others' rodents and reptiles (rabbit, guinea pigs, and bearded dragons). With clear instructions from you, I would love to care for any rodents, reptiles, amphibians, or birds as well! You can list these animals as "Cats" within your Rover profile. I have a 30 hour/week job in libraries and I work pet-care into my off-days, or before/after a work shift. I recently adopted my own cat, so I will mostly be offering drop-in visits and dog walks, but will be available for 1-3 night housesits. Let me know you and your pet's schedule and needs, and we can see if we're a good match! I like to get to know you and your pet before caring for them in order to make sure we’re a good fit (so, I do require a Meet & Greet before booking). Whether they're an energetic dog who will want a high energy walk, or a shy cat who might take some time getting used to a stranger, I want your pets to feel safe, cared for, and happy. Please note: I have a severe peanut allergy so if feeding your dog peanut butter or peanut treats is a big part of their routine, I won't be able to provide those foods, but if they can go without while in my care, that's okay!

Byung was absolutely wonderful! I hired him to walk my dog Riley at night while I was recovering from a broken leg, and he was consistently reliable and on time every single evening. He even helped with feeding Riley one night when I was out late for work. Riley adored him — he’d light up the moment he arrived. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely reach out to Byung again whenever I need help. Highly recommend!

About: I grew up with cats so know when to give them love and when to give them space. I’ve lived with and helped take care of dogs for about 6 years, helping friends and neighbors take care, walk, and feed their dogs when out of town. I am currently in between jobs so I’m available all day M-F to walk and house sit and am available on some weekends as well. The pets safety and comfort is of upmost priority for me. I want to make sure they are happy and healthy so that owners can have a peace of mind.

Thank you so much Jennifer! 5 stars! I am an anxious dog mom to a very anxious doodle, and it’s very hard for me to find people that I feel comfortable leaving my little fur baby with. But from the moment I started communicating with Jennifer through Rover, my anxieties were eased! Jennifer is kind, warm, and a very clear communicator! She was very gracious and non-judgmental too as I over explained and neurotically walked through Ruffles’ preferences and routines! I felt so at ease at work knowing she was taking care of my baby and didn’t even think twice! And her updates and pictures were always great and informative. It’s funny too how you just know when your dog likes someone, and I could tell he really felt comfortable with her! Can’t wait to book again for dog walking.

About: Lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter for friends and family almost my whole life and grew up having dogs (large, and medium sized) I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds providing walks, feeding, play, and overnight care. I am currently taking time off work so I have an open and flexible schedule. I am generally available anytime, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I care for pets in their own home so their routine stays consistent and stress is minimized. I spend quality time with them, keep their environment tidy, and send regular updates to owners.

About: I've grown up with pets (i.e. dog, cat, hamster, bird) for most of my life. I had a rescue family dog for over 10 years and my own pet cat for 3 years yrs before moving to CA. I've pet say for over 30 dogs and over 10 cats, along with occasional reptiles, rodents and even chickens. I know how to read animals and build their trust so that they feel safe and loved. I'm a social worker for my day job and I enjoy being able to care for pets part-time as well. I live walking distance from Lake Merritt, which is perfect for walks. I'm very responsible and I love taking pet pictures, so you can be sure to get as many updates from me as you'd like. Know that I'll care for your pet as if they were my own😊! I know all the right questions to ask to ensure that I know the ins and outs before committing to the care of your pet(s). Lmk if you have any questions. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet soon!

Shelly really understands our big girl dog, and is always prompt, follows directions to a T, and sends the cutest photos. This time she dropped by to give our dog her dinner (diet, so kibble with a bunch of veggies) and a walk. Thanks, Shelly!

About: Growing up in a family that always had dogs, I’ve spent over seven years caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I raised my own corgi from puppyhood, which gave me a solid foundation in training, grooming, and understanding canine behavior. Over time, I’ve also cared for senior dogs who required medication, gentle exercise, and extra patience, as well as energetic puppies who needed structured play and consistent guidance. Clients often describe me as reliable, communicative, and attentive to every pet’s comfort. I regularly provide updates with photos and videos to help owners feel connected while they’re away. I’m also experienced with multi-pet households, including both dogs and cats, and I take pride in maintaining a calm and caring environment for all animals under my care. As a remote work with a flexible schedule, I'm available consistently on weekends and most weekday afternoons. I carefully plan my pet care commitments around my classes to ensure dedicated, unrushed time with each pet. I can provide morning walks, midday check-ins, and extended playtime sessions, always prioritizing the pets' routines and needs. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. When visiting clients' homes, I follow their specific care instructions meticulously and maintain regular updates through photos and messages. I ensure all doors are secured, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets on their regular feeding and exercise schedules. I also have pet first-aid knowledge for added peace of mind.

Esteban is the best! I was very afraid I would not find anyone to walk Piper as she is strong and slightly dog selective. Also certain dog folks do not want to walk her with a muzzle which is confusing to me, he has no issues with it. Esteban came for a meet and greet and it was a great fit! Piper has come home happy and exhausted! Can’t wait to grow our relationship with him! He’s the best!
