About: Hello! I’ve been dog walking for the past year and it’s become my favorite activity. I give careful, loving attention, and it’s a plus if the dog has been trained to respond to commands. I keep up with dog behavioral tips, carry essential items on-the-go, and you won’t find me scrolling on my phone during walks! I regularly walk a playful and adorable Labradoodle named Jerry. I don’t yet have a dog of my own but I will always make time for them. Simply put, dogs make life better! I’m a former librarian who enjoys helping others, and when I’m not walking, you’ll find me planning on volunteer committees, singing in choirs, and mentoring a fantastic teen. I look forward to meeting you and your pooch/pooches! My services include walking only, not pet sitting. Safety comes first, then fun. I am easily adaptable to following specific instructions or rules from each owner.
About: I grew up with two dogs and currently have a cat, so I have years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My dogs are still an important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. 🐾 I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, walks, and check ins while making sure pets receive the care and companionship they need. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care for every pet. 🐾 For drop in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow each pet's routine by providing fresh food and water, cleaning litter boxes or taking dogs out for potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I always respect your home's rules and make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before leaving. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer approach, I adapt to their needs to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾🐶🐱
About: I grew up in a neighborhood my friends used to call “the farm”. We had 3 dogs, one neighbor had chickens, one neighbor had horses, and another neighbor had goats. Along with various dogs and cats at each house. Because I was the oldest kid in the neighborhood, I was the go-to person anytime a neighbor needed a house sitter or even just needed me to feed their pet dinner since they were out late. When I got older and started driving, I began dog sitting for our large group of friends, taking care of all sizes of dogs, cats, and the occasional reptile. Although I work part-time, I am generally available 7 days a week for house sitting. I am willing to accommodate crazy schedules and last minute plans if need be. I have a small home but a big yard, so while I can’t accommodate boarding, I have a large outdoor space and my own pup that is eager for play dates during the day. As for house sitting, I provide attentive, personalized care in my client’s home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely. With my history in the animal health field, I am comfortable administering any medications if needed. As a person who values communication, I provide regular ‘pupdates’ and pictures so owners feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family my whole life. Growing up in a rural area, I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to horses, sheep, goats, cows, and barn cats. So I'm comfortable with the rowdiest cattle dogs to the most shy dogs and kittens. Our place was always open to anyone’s animal to come over and enjoy some freedom and care. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their human is away. Whether it’s just for a walk or an overnight stay, I look forward to building a connection with your furry friend and giving them all the cuddles and comfort they need. I currently am working a part time job, my shifts range from 5.5 - 6 hours with one day a week being 8 hours. My schedule is best work walking dogs or dog sitting for pups that are okay at home alone during the day. I value the trust you place in me to care for your pets and home. I’m very clean, respectful, and detail-oriented. I’ll always leave your home exactly as you left it, if not cleaner. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment so you can relax knowing everything is in good hands.
About: I've taken care of animals ever since I can remember. I've worked with them at a boarding facility for two years and even have had family friends depend on me to take care of their pets. I have plenty of time to play and get your animals energy out. i do have some hobbies that I can fit in while sitting such as working out. I love animals and cant wait to maybe meet yours! I always moniter any animals basic needs such as making sure they go potty, full/fresh water, eating reguarly if so, etc. Keeping them active depending on what animal I am working with.
“Extremely reliable, was able to make a last minute time change. Barkerini seemed very comfortable with her, and now greets her at the door. Jena is going to be a big help when I need to be gone for the day ;-)”
About: When I adopted my first dog he was incredibly nervous around people he is now very friendly and loves scenting challenges. I’ve used my skills to help others improve their relationship with their animals and created a trusting relationship to care for pets when their families are out of town. I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted to meet your needs. I do prefer to include some time for an animal introduction for all new families. I have a strong history of animal care that meet the needs of my clients. Every pet is different and I am able to adapt and accommodate to different attitudes, schedules for feeding, medical care, walking and entertaining. I work to make sure pets are comfortable and clients return to the same feeling as if they just got home from work.
“Michelle was awesome. Communicated clearly with us so we knew when she was arriving. Our dogs loved her. Now they are tuckered out and napping after their great adventure with Michelle. Thanks for taking care of them. Would have given 10 stars if it was available!!”
About: I grew up with dogs, currently I have an in door out door cat and have had bunnies as an adult as as well. I really enjoy playing with animals and always have since I was a child. My schedule is very flexible and I would be able to accommodate most requests with specific times that could be required to care for your pet I have a fenced in back patio that would suit a small dog. I live near parks that would be fun to walk to and play at for them.
About: I have lots of practical experience with dogs. I have owned dogs my whole life and have dog sat for family and friends.

Wednesday: anytime after 1pm Friday: 11:30-12:39, and after 4:30pm Saturday: anytime after 12pm Sunday: available all day I am not able to offer my home for pet care as I rent the home I live in and my landlord does not allow any pets. I am able to come to your home, so long as detailed instructions on how to care for your pet are provided.
About: Dogs & cats have been in my life since I was born! Growing up, I’ve taken care of so many dogs, cats, and even geckos. These lovely pets including my own, my neighbors, & my friends! I’m currently working Sunday and Monday mornings and in school part time on Tuesdays and Thursdays while focused on saving up money to further pay for my college education, so I have plenty of time available around those days to take care of your lovely pets! ♥️ My Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are completely free and I’ll be happy to keep your furry friend company, on a walk, or check in on them while you are away. :) I have four (some very shy) cats and a dog at home, so while I am unable to bring cats into my own home, I will be able to stay full-time in your home with your fur babies and provide them with all the care they need, while they’re comfortably in their home-environment.
About: I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, including caring for three dogs in one household and two dogs in another. I was responsible for their daily care and making sure they were safe, fed, exercised, and comfortable. Managing several dogs at once taught me how to stay patient, attentive, and organized, even when they were energetic or had different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and would treat every pet in my care like they were my own. I only have a college class twice a week for only one hour of my day and I have a part-time job that is only certain days of the week. Rover will be the perfect fill-in for all that extra time that I have, and I will always put my customers first. I live in a very mellow neighborhood where there are also many dogs around me where people are walking their dogs and having them on leashes, I live in an apartment that is very dog friendly and I will spend all of my time taking the dog or taking it out on the grass, we do have a dog area at my apartment.
About: I’ve walked, cared for and raised more animals than I can count, I’d love to help with any pet needs! From Pointers to Pit Bulls, to Yorkies! Always willing to run, walk and play with your pets! I like to go on walks and/or runs for Cardio and like to have the company. Mornings of Evenings could work depending on the day usually Weeks I am the most free! I always make sure follow written/ my noted directions to make sure feeding times, walk times and any other matter isn’t an issue with my/your property or your pet.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cotati
Krista was amazing! She was very attentive, always on time, and Rosie absolutely loved her. She always sent detailed updates about how each walk went and included lots of wonderful photos of Rosie. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so happy I found Krista! She made me feel comfortable and confident that Rosie was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! ❤️
I honestly don’t think 5 stars is high enough, I wish I could give more. We LOVE Lexi! She’s so knowledgeable about dogs in general and is perfect for our pup, Roxy. They go for runs and Roxy actually comes back tired, which we’ve found is really hard to do with such a high energy dog! Lexi is also very attuned to Roxy and her leash reactivity, which we really appreciate. She’s super flexible and accommodating, and takes the best pictures!! Just an all around great person and dog walker. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Blake was so sweet w our Hobie! She came by to meet him prior to our booking and stayed in communication w/us. Was timely and sent a few pics while on his walk. Sent us notes on the visit and made sure he was comfortable and secure before leaving. Thank you, Blake!
Oli came to meet Jordi before their first walk. She understands his breed, Boston Terrier, specifically their risk of heat stroke if it’s too hot. She scheduled the walks for a time that was suitable for both of them. She kept me informed when they would go on their walk and send pictures. Jordi enjoys his walks with Oli. I highly recommend her.
