“Crystal was THEE best with my pup, Mia! She is so caring, gives a blurb with MULTIPLE pictures during every walk! I have always been nervous about using Rover or any dog walking service, and Crystal has completely alleviated any concern I have had. She is perfect!”

“Darya was so sensitive and loving with Taco. He was having a tough week with Daddy being away, and she was able to sweetly coax him on his walks each day. This was a great relief to my stress about working late while my husband was out of town. I will certainly be asking for her help in the future.”

About: Hi there! I’m new to pet sitting on Rover, but I’ve been a lifelong dog lover! I’ve had my own Pomeranian names Simba for 10 years, so I know how special our furry friends are. Right now, I’m looking for a job, so I have lots of free time to give your pup the attention they deserve! I offer dog walking and daytime at-home sitting in Downtown and nearby areas, so your dog will have a buddy all day. I’m excited to meet your pup and keep them safe, happy, and active! Requested information about your pet I just ask to let me know in advance what NOT to do/say with your pet. For example, my Pomeranian gets crazy zoomies if you say ‘who’s there?’, he rushes to my front door, spins and bark and it till he will not get absolutely tired. I would also like to know all important details about your pet friendliness with other animals and humans, their health and of course your preferred Pet Hospital. I’m currently actively looking for a remote job in Tech so I have all the time in the world to spend quality time with you fluffy friend. As I have my own pup waiting for me at home, I am looking for more standard working hours I’m not able to host pets at my home, but I’m more than happy to stay at your place for multiple hours during the day. I’ll follow all your pet’s routines, instructions, and any safety measures you have in place. Just let me know your preferences, and I’ll make sure I follow them closely!

“Was my first time using this app and Andrea was great. My baby girl Jazzie enjoyed her time and loved the photos of my dog as they were on there walk. Definitely booking Andrea again!!!”

About: I currently have the privilege of having two senior dogs that have been in my care for 13 years. I am aware of the patience, love and commitment it takes, having and caring for a pet that solely relies on you. I am comfortable administering medications and dealing with food modifications. I have also helped foster in the past. I am home during the day, with light serving shift 3 times a week at night. Long or short walks are available, as well as playtime, boarding and overnight care. My home is your pets home! I love my neighborhood. While I do not have direct access to a back yard, I am super close to multiple dog parks and live in a very walkable neighborhood.

“Armando was a life saver! I needed a last min walk because I got so busy with work and my pup was being a distraction. He was so kind and Presley came back very tired (yay)! I’ll book him again for sure”

“Jarrod took care of our Trishia while we were away. He followed our instructions carefully when it came to her walks, her meals and treats. It went very smoothly.”

Dexter P.

“Chris arrives on time and provides excellent communication- exactly what I was looking for! My senior pup can be a little stubborn and unmotivated and Chris did his best to get some exercise. I really appreciate it and will be using Chris again! Highly recommended!”

“Jayme was wonderful as a Dogwalker for my 3 year old mini poodle in the Watertown area. She treated my pup as her own and was absolutely lovely to work with. She was super flexible with timing and even last minute booking. She is great with sending text updates & pictures of your pet while out on the walk. Unfortunately we moved away from the area but I would take her with us if we could! We love Jayme!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life and have experience with all ages from puppies to senior dogs and even special needs dogs. Before my current rescue dog Sadie girl, I had Ava. I adopted Ava as a puppy and she was healthy according to the vet but it turned out she had a neurological degenerative disease. With Ava I had experience in assisting with mobility issues, supported her with eating, drinking, and administering necessary medications. Now that I have Sadie who is a high energy large breed dog I have a lot of experience going on hikes and runs in local neighborhoods, visiting parks, and dog beaches. I am currently working part time and have plenty of time available for morning, afternoon, or evening walks depending on the day. I have a very flexible schedule and I am always ready for playtime, walks, and/or runs with your precious pup. I have a private fenced in courtyard with space to run around in or lay out in the sun with a strip of turf for potty time. I never leave my dogs unsupervised and we always practice safe leash habits by staying on leash until we’re in a safe designated off leash dog area. Special rules and needs will be respected with the utmost care, your fur baby is safe with me!

About: Let me tell you about my girl, what she meant to me, and how I will treat your companions because they deserve the same. I adopted my rescue dog years ago, and she became my best friend, companion, protector, and family. We shared life together. She taught me that trust comes first, that every one is different, and that patience, consistency, attention, and presence matter. When I first adopted her, I was told she didn't like affection or being held. What I learned was that she simply needed trust. Once she felt safe, she showed me who she really was. That experience taught me to pay attention, be patient, and let each one get comfortable in their own time. I understand the importance of routine, exercise, play, companionship, quiet time, and consistency. I pay attention to personality, preferences, comfort level, and the small details that help someone feel secure while their family is away. My girl recently passed away. I will not be replacing her. Instead, I decided to come here and help care for your boy or girl because they deserve the same attention, patience, respect, and care that she received throughout her life. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and routine care. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can adjust my work around the needs of those in my care. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my schedule as needed. For house sitting, I typically spend 2–4 hours of dedicated time each day focused on walks, play, care, companionship, and routine activities, in addition to the time I am present in the home while working remotely. Depending on the arrangement, I may be away for periods during the day, but I remain available for check-ins, walks, feeding, and care. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and help your boy or girl feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I own and operate my own business and work remotely during the week, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can adjust my work as needed to make sure your companion receives the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. I also drive part-time on some weekend evenings and can adjust my availability when caring for your boy or girl. For house sitting, I am generally available for short-term and extended stays ranging from a few days to four weeks. My only regularly scheduled personal commitment is on Tuesdays, though longer stays can be planned around that with advance notice. I care for companions in their own environment where they are most comfortable and familiar. I understand that trust, routine, consistency, and attention are important. I take the time to learn their schedule, habits, personality, comfort level, and any special needs so I can maintain the routines that help them feel secure. I believe trust is earned through patience, respect, and reliable care. Some want attention immediately. Others need time and space first. I pay attention to their behavior and let them get comfortable at their own pace while maintaining their wellbeing and routine.

“Joanna always does an amazing job!”

About: Before having a dog of my own, community members would entrust me with their babies for an evening occasionally. This lasted since I was 12 until 15. I would play with them and walk them for several hours. A few years ago I met Melody, a beautiful big golden chihuahua. She was already entering old age. Still, with her small body and big bark, I adored her. She passed away and then I came into care of a husky puppy. I named her Aria in honor of her sister. She has blossomed into a beautiful big girl. Since she became mine, I learned to give much more energy into her physical activity, and I learned about her individual nutrition. Training a stubborn personality like hers has been challenging but fun. It’s taught me to be strict and authoritative so she follows me as a leader. At the same time I spoil her and shower her with lots of love and attention. 5 mile walks are no sweat for me. Currently I am a student. My schedule clears me fully 4 days of the week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Daily I walk a lot and travel all over San Diego. I do not offer pet care in my own home, however as a pet parent, I understand what to be cautious of and expect. I will take any requests and each individual environment and personality into consideration when given the opportunity to care for a pet in my client’s home.
