About: I’ve grown up around both big and small dogs, including Labs and Chihuahuas, as well as Dobermans, and German Shepherds. I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I currently live with a roommate who has a Lab and a cat, so I’m around both dogs and cats regularly. I’ve also had experience pet sitting for friends, family, and others, and I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I am currently working part-time that is during the day. So I can work evenings, the weekends and sometimes during the week on my days off. My apartment is clean and pretty big. There is a lot of places to walk the dog and go to the bathroom near my apartment
“Stella is awesome! She is responsible, sweet, and patient with Arlo. She arrives on time and with a positive attitude. I love that Stella takes lots of great pictures - Arlo looks like he had a blast on their walks. So glad we found her!”

About: I have owned and taken care of pets for many years. I currently have a dog that I personally take care of. I feed her, walk her, bathe her, take her outside, play with her, etc. I am an animal lover and I really enjoy taking care of all types of pets. It is a responsibility I take very serious when I am caring for someone’s fur baby and I look forward to every booking I get. I care deeply for animals and cater to their specific needs. Pets require lots of care and I am willing to do whatever they need.

“Andrew is am amazing dog walker. My terrier mix can be difficult with new people and he took to Andrew immediately. Andrew is dependable, on time and goes the extra mile. Skeeter and I are very grateful!”

“Mackenzie was very nice. She had no problem coming in and getting to know Nikko. He’s a puppy so his energy is high and she did great with him. I’d recommend her if you’re looking for someone reliable to walk your dog.”

About: I absolutely love animals. I have a cuddly black cat and big german shepard back home in CO. I've grown up taking care of them, and also regularly pet sit and walk dogs for friends and neighbors. Their pets are always excited to see me and feel safe around me. I am currently a college student and have random free time, mostly afternoons and evenings as well as weekends. I have a car so can easily commute to and from school and work. I make sure to ask the clients how best to care for their pets and anything I may need to know. I love to play with lots of toys, go on long walks, and give cuddles to pets that like cuddles!
About: I am obsessed with dogs, and have had one my whole life up until a few years ago. I am very attentive and patient with dogs, and will love them all like my own. I am comfortable with caring for puppies with high energy, and also with senior dogs who may need slower walks and extra love. I am currently a college student that is out of state. But when I am home for breaks and the summer my schedule is very flexible and open. I have a big fenced yard that allows for dogs to run around. I always supervise while they are outside and give them lots of attention and love. In my clients home I am very respectful of their space and follow all instructions. I make sure to follow the pets routine and sending photos to their owners so they get updated on how happy their dog is doing.
About: My love for animals has always been great and that allows friends and family to trust that I can sufficiently take care of their adored animals. I’m currently in summer school, but that does not prevent me from being available any day of the week for however long. I can adapt to odd schedules with ease. I am open to working at any home or environment and able to afford the care and attention that any animal may require out of me.
About: I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Poodle mix, so I know firsthand how nerve wracking it is to hand your dog off to someone you don't know. I get it! I'm not just a sitter, I'm a dog owner who actually understands what you're trusting someone with. And as a Great Dane owner, giant breeds and big personalities are my comfort zone. No size is going to phase me! I run my own creative business, so my schedule is genuinely flexible in a way that most sitters can't offer. No 9 to 5 I'm working around. I can typically accommodate drop ins and walks at times that actually work for you, not just whatever's left in my day. I'm the dog mom who leaves a five page document for my own sitters, so trust me, no request is too silly. Special feeding routine? Weird little habit your dog has that you think "how will I explain this to the dog sitter"? I want to know. I'll follow it. And I always send photo updates so you're not just sitting there wondering how your pup is doing.

“He is great with Kira and always prompt. He keeps in contact while on their walk and is very accommodating. Kira us happier with her daily walks and gets really excited when we mention zane.”

About: Hi! I just moved to San Diego from OC with my 4 year old Goldendoodle Willow (who I’ve raised since she was 8 weeks old) to get my masters in social work. She loves hanging with new dogs of all sizes! At home, my mom has two dogs and I’ve been dog sitting for years now. I’ve always been an animal lover and truly enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like part of the family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns I’d love to help! Currently, I work from home as a seamstress and I attend school part time- just a two hour class on Tuesday and Thursday evening. I have separation anxiety from my dog Willow, so I never leave her alone longer than I have to. You can count on your pup always having company! My yard is fully fenced in with lots of area to run. Our home is one story and I work from home, so I’ll be with them the whole time!
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two! I have been relied on by friends and family as a petsitter for about four years. I am comfortable and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs; one of my dogs is a 110 pound Bernese, and I have petsit multiple times for a senior diabetic dog who required insulin shots. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I am available more often than not and am committed to making pet care a priority. I am attending San Diego State University, but with my current light class schedule, I have the ability to make the needs of the pets I’m caring for my top priority. Whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m able to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime and attention, and go on walks or get bathroom breaks as needed. I also keep the home tidy, respect your space, and always communicate with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: I have taken care of dogs eight years of my life! I have also have dogs along the way as i’ve grown up as well as seeing dogs everyday at my old job at Dutch Bros Coffee. Neighbors and friends have trusted me with their animals. I have noticed dogs and cats often feel safe with me quickly and i feel that it’s due to their ability to sense a humans positive energy. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel safe and loved as their owner does and it’s a perk for me because I get to spend time with an animal!! I do school full time but that is fully online so I can be fully available for that. And depending on pay and your schedule, i would be working at another job and would adjust my hours accordingly to fit your needs. I know how scary it can be to trust your animal with a stranger let alone trust that they will be there enough to attend to the dogs/cats needs but that would be my priority and im flexible!!! The services will definitely depend on the owners wishes. I will live with other dogs in my home so it would be a better idea to take care of the animal in the owners home to prevent any conflict with different animals. Again, i’m flexible.
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs since I can remember. I trained my corgi when he was a puppy and even taught my cat some tricks! I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I believe that all pets deserve to feel loved, comfortable, and safe while their owners are away! I’m currently a college student, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have time all throughout the day, from the morning to the evening, to play with them! Having pets of my own, I understand the importance of routines and sticking to a schedule. I will ensure that your pets feel safe, loved, and normal while you are gone. I always prioritize making sure that pets are comfortable around me and will do anything it takes to ensure that they are.

About: I’ve loved growing up and taking care of both my dogs and cats alike. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted their adorable pets in my care numerous times. I enjoy long/short walks, quick hangouts, and checking in to make sure their pets are safe and sound! I’m currently a university student and have plenty of time between classes during any day of the week to check on and walk your loved pets. I unfortunately can’t take any pets in my own home. However, in my clients home I will happily care for their pets as instructed.
About: Hi! I’m an 18-year-old college student who has always loved being around dogs. I’ve helped care for family pets and dogs belonging to friends by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat every dog like they’re my own. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, weekends, and can work around your pet’s routine. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll follow your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and treat them like they’re part of my own family.
“Aria has watched and cared for Sierra prior to me joining rover. She has done a great job communicating with me and taking care of Sierra. This included overnights and giving her a pill each day. She has a dog of her own named Millie who gets along with Sierra.”

Mihaela is wonderful. She’s on time and communicates well, and is just a really nice person. Best of all, the dogs love her. She’s very conscientious about their needs, carrying treats and water for them even on 30-minute walks. She’s so good that I immediately rebooked with her - definitely my new go-to dog companion!

Highly recommend Charlotte! She was reliable, friendly, and took great care of our dog Izzy during her walk. Izzy loved the extra playtime with her after the walk too! I felt confident Izzy was well cared for during her visit with Charlotte and we will definitely be using her again in the future!!

She did an amazing job watching Ace! She was reliable, caring, and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her, and Ace seemed happy and comfortable when I picked him up. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!
Audrey is great with our two dogs, even with one of them being dog reactive. She is able to redirect and continue the walk with little effort. I also appreciate her excellent feedback and quick responses. I would highly recommend Audrey for any of your pet’s need's!

Caity was absolutely wonderful with Louie! She was so attentive and kept us updated on his itchy paws and sensitive tummy. She even went out of her way to apply his paw mousse and found ways to keep him happy and entertained on those super hot days. I really trusted her with Louie and felt so comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Would definitely recommend Caity and will absolutely book her again!

Zere is a wonderful dog walker who is prompt, courteous and definitely loves our little cinnamon. She follows our directions very well because cinnamon is diabetic and needs special attention. She truly is one of the best dog walkers we have ever hired. Cinnamon waits for her and gets so excited when she appears at the door. It is so great to see our little dog so happy to go for a walk.
We just started with Ana, and I already really trust her. She’s been reliable and flexible — I asked her to come earlier than originally planned because of the heat, and she happily accommodated. I can tell she genuinely cares about Iggy; she’s patient with his quirks and makes sure he’s calm and happy before she leaves. She’s also very thorough with photo updates and notes, which I really appreciate. I feel completely comfortable having her in my apartment. Highly recommend!
