Dog Walking Core

About: I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’m happy to provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for—and for you to feel completely confident while you’re away! I also work fully remote and I am available during the weekdays! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while still maintaining a consistent routine. Because I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also flexible with different schedules and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away! I’ve been caring for coworkers’, friends’, and family members’ pets for over 8 years. I don’t have pets of my own, so I’m able to give your pet my full attention. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment while following their normal routine and your care instructions closely!

About: I have a Mini Australian Shepard of my own who is 3 years old, whom I trained myself. He is very well behaved. Additionally, I’ve been a dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the past 5 years. My service will include lots of walks, love, and play time with your pet. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available all day on weekends and on weekdays after 6 p.m. Although I live in an apartment, I do have access to 2 fenced dog parks across the street and I live close to Balboa park which makes for great walks!

About: I’m a big animal person! I’ve always grown up with a number of different animals that, of course, includes cats and dogs. I’ve dog sat puppies, teenage, and senior dogs alike! I started dog sitting for friends and family when I was about 16, and have always lived with dogs. I super understand how fur babies are just like family and have a big heart for them! I’m currently a full time student and I work part time. I have been having an itch to spend time with dogs because they just make me happy to be honest! Life can be stressful, so I’d consider caring for your pups a stress relief and a middle booster for sure. I can’t exactly have my own dog at the moment, so I thought pet sitting might be the next best thing! I would follow the owners guidelines and make sure to take care of wolf their fur babies exactly how they would! Playing with them, feeding them, taking them out, and giving them cuddles whatever it may be! I have a cat who is my best friend so I understand how important these fur babies are to us!

“Jarrod was really great with our big Anatolian shepherd, Rue this weekend. Rain or shine, he took Rue to the park and walked him twice a day while we were out of town. That's dedication! Thank you, Jarrod!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for most of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I’ve also been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors here and there over the years, and during Covid, I would watch one of my close neighbor’s dogs for about a year. Now I’m excited to finally turn that passion into my job through Rover. My family has adopted rescue dogs from local shelters since I was 10 years old. Our first dog was Lucy, a sweet Chihuahua mix who completely stole our hearts. A few years later, we welcomed our sweet boy, Axle, into the family. Sadly, we lost both of them last March, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart. Today, I have two adorable little rascals who keep life fun! Fiona is our pit bull mix, and Rocky is our Chihuahua mix. Fiona was one of the most challenging dogs I’ve ever worked with, but with lots of patience, consistency, and love, she has come such a long way. Watching her grow has taught me so much about understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. Every dog deserves kindness, patience, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to giving your furry family member the same care, attention, and affection while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide loving, dependable care for your pets and extra loving attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands.

“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: When I was about 10 years old, I got a yellow Lab mix named Montay, and that’s where my love for dogs really began. Ever since then, I’ve enjoyed walking and caring for my friends’ and family members’ dogs. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. During every walk, your pup gets my full attention. My goal is to provide a safe, enjoyable, and personalized experience for every dog I care for. I also offer a complimentary meet-and-greet for all new clients so we can get acquainted, discuss your dog’s routine, and make sure we’re a good fit before the first walk. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring dog walker close by in East Village, I’d love to help! I’ll treat your pup with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Feel free to send me a message if you’re interested. I currently work part-time at home, so I have plenty of time to walk your dog on your schedule. Any day and any time you need your dog walked, I can be available. I know how busy life can get, so I’m here to make sure your pup gets the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need, even when you’re working, running errands, or stuck with a busy schedule. If there is any routine your dog always does, I can always stick to it. This usually means sticking to their regular feeding schedule and making sure that the dogs always get plenty of exercise. I will always keep in touch with the owner with photo updates on how the walk is going.

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.

“Zannah is SO sweet and patient and caring with my super senior lab. I feel so good about her caring for him when I need some help!”

About: Dogs are an integral part of the family! Growing up, we always had at least 3 dogs. Dogs are family not animals to me. I have always taken care of my family pets as well as neighbors dogs. As a teenager, I would take care of my neighbors pitbull and cocker spaniel by feeding them and playing with them when the neighbors were at work or on vacation. I know have 2 dogs, an 10 year old husky and a 6 year old chihuahua mix. They are still very youthful and cared for greatly. They definitely do not act there age. I love taking care of dogs and making their lives as special as they make mine. I am a full time dog mom! I am going to school, but I have the luxury of being attending from home which leaves me plenty of time for loving on the puppers. I have 2 dogs that are very friendly. If needed, I can crate you furry family member. My husky has food allergies so I have experience making sure the fur baby doesn't get into anything that would make their stomachs unhappy. I am super vigilant during walks and sun bathing since both of my dogs are severely allergic to bees. If you board your pet with me, they will be treated just like family. Your furry family member will become one of our family members while they are here. Any dietary restrictions or house rules you wish to disclose will be followed exactly!

“Armando has gone above and beyond everything I hoped to find through Rover. He has taken Shelby out to socialize and has shown her so much kindness, patience, and genuine care. I feel completely comfortable knowing she is safe and in excellent hands with him. I’m truly grateful we found Armando and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their dog!”

“Alex has been amazing! She took our pup on a few walks when we were busy at work and she was very reliable, easy to communicate with and responsive, and left us some great pics and videos for us to see! When Penny was too stubborn to go on a walk, Alex was so nice to play with her and keep her active! Highly recommend, definitely plan to use Alex in the future! Thank you, Alex!!!”

“LOVE Isabelle! She’s very kind and immediately gained the trust of my dog. She was so gracious on very short notice, due to emergency! Will absolutely book with her again!”

About: I started by taking care of my moms 4 dogs when she would go on vacations and needed a dog sitter. That really taught me how to feed them efficiently and when to take them outside to go potty. From there I learned how to hang out with them and play with them efficiently. I am a college student with classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I am available for the entire day and night. On Wednesday and Friday I'm available at night, Monday I'm not because I have a night class. Staying over night is not a problem, along with check ins during the days even on school days. I love dogs and am really good at feeding them, taking them outside, and playing with them. I'm not a trainer, but someone who is good at taking care of them while you are away. My mom has 4 small dogs so I'm very familiar with smaller dogs, but I have also watched bigger dogs as well.

“Bedrana has been walking my dog most days of the week while I’m at work and it has been such a good experience! She is awesome at communication and gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away that my dog is taken care of! She is very flexible with scheduling too and my dog seems well exercised when I get home! Definitely recommend booking with her :)”

About: I have worked with dogs for more than a year and would definitely be the best pet sitter & walker and treat them like my own. i am avaliable part time due to enrolling in college. I am pretty flexible with scheduling and will do my best to work hard and as many hours to take care of the fur babies. I can easily follow directions and will make sure to go the extra mile to keep any dog/dogs safe and make sure they are always happy and comfortable around me and also plan to keep the owners updated as much as possible throughout my care.

“Dulce has taken care of our fur baby on multiple occasions now and always does a great job of communicating. We will def use her again!”
