15. Keira G.
About: Hey there, my name is Keira. I'm fairly new to Rover but am looking forward to meeting new folks and furry friends along the way. My main option on here is dog walking but I also do drop-ins and house sitting. I have been an owner of 2 big beautiful German-Shepard mixed boys for 5 years and just recently 2 kitties :), so I have continuous experience. I work full-time from home so I typically leave my weekends to my rover clients, but I am flexible for weekday afternoons as well. Working from home has made it accessible and fun to spend most of my day with my fur babies, I couldn't ask for better companions :) My dogs have a huge all around yard they like to run around and my kitties are more of the indoor type so whatever environment your pet prefers, we'll be sure to have a fun and safe time!
16. Daniel L.
About: Having cared for dogs until they reached the age of 17 and 14 and recently losing my dog, offering my dog care services. I have also fostered dogs before providing them permanent homes. The house currently has no pets so good for those that prefer a sitter with no other pets. I generally only do one client at a time. There could be some overlap in days which we can discuss. I have a large backyard I can let dogs play, fully supervised while in the yard. I have a full-time job that is `10 minutes away so dog needs to okay with being alone 4-6 hours. The dog will go for a morning walk, then during lunch will get an afternoon walk and then an evening walk. I have a fenced front and backyard with no other pets in the house. While in front or backyard dog will always be supervised, dogs are never left unsupervised while outside. Also have pet care insurance
17. Lucero B.
“She is such a kind and caring person! My dog is very nervous and anxious with new people, and she made sure to spend time with her before her walk to make her comfortable. We appreciate how patient and sweet she was to moochi! I definitely recommend her and will be booking again. ❤️”
18. Jasmin A.
About: Hi! My name is Jasmin, I am 22 years old and live in Oakland, Ca. I have experience with dogs as I own one myself and most of my family own dogs themselves. I have experience with puppies, adults, small, and medium sized dogs. I’ve always had patience and sympathy for animals as they are also living creatures with emotions. From pugs to pitbulls I care for dogs as if they were all mine! I am currently looking for a side job and found this site which I think would be a perfect side hustle as I love dogs and have enough free time ! I also have my own car so mobility won’t be an issue. I live in a house with a backyard that has plenty of room and toys!! It is wooden fenced up so there’s no running away from this home ! All dogs are received with love as I understand how cruel the outside world can be to our fur babies.
19. Katie L.
“Katie has many family pets but she treats each of them as if they are her responsibility. She's a very responsible, loving and caring person. She makes sure that none of her pets are lonely as her parents and siblings often leave for long periods of time due to school or work by taking the pets with her on her own adventures. Any one would be lucky to have her for looking after their pet(s).”
20. Juan P.
About: I’ve taken care of dog since I was 10. I currently have a beagle, I’ve potty trained her and I always find to take her on walks and especially to dog parks. I’m currently part time, so I have time in the morning and afternoon to take dogs on walks and dog parks. Weekends are pretty open for me as well I have a backyard with open space, I have a fence so they can’t get out. Also my beagle is outside most of the time and she’s friendly so they’ll get along.
