“Adriana has made me feel so much more comfortable getting a brand new puppy. I had no idea the work it would intale. Because of work schedules finding her is a blessing and she texts me tips and advice. I plan on scheduling her as much as I can!!!”

About: I grew up on a horse ranch in Northern California caring for all of our farm animals - horses, sheep, cows, chickens and goats. We even had a llama and donkeys! I competed my horses on the national level and was actively involved in an equestrian organization as an upper level member helping to teach younger children how to ride and care for their horses as well. We always had numerous dogs and cats on the ranch that were my pets too. My beloved Labrador, Raven, was my constant companion for eleven years before I lost her to cancer. My experience with various animals enables me to give your beloved family member the attention it needs while you are away. I care for my parents 14 year old Maltese who needs several medications daily. As such, I am very good at ensuring that medical needs can be met if needed. I am going to school to become a Medical Assistant and have the time devote to care giving as I study. I am starting school to become a Medical Assistant. I live in a lovely home with a nice yard. I will be able to spend time with your pet as I study from home. I love walking through our safe community so if your dog needs lots of walks, that is a bonus for me! I have a lovely fenced yard or can come to your house as well. I always make sure your pet's routine is maintained with their feeding schedule, giving any medications required and making sure they get lots of love and attention.

About: I have had a pet in my home since I was born. The first dog I remember was Ginger, then PJ, then Sparkie, then Jenna and Millie, Anja and Argus, then Bonnie and Clyde, and now we have our very friendly buddy, Gustav. They ranged from a miniature Schnauzer and Jack Russels to Rottweilers and German Shepherds. My closest friend's dad bred and trained German Shepherds while I was in high school. I was surrounded by a pack most of my life and loved it. I owned a local pup friendly pub for 14 years and made it a point to great every dog that came in. I am hoping for the chance to see some of those dogs again! My current schedule is very flexible, so I can focus on the pet's care when they need it. I understand that different pets require different things at different times and I am able and willing to accommodate with a bit of forewarning. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly 10 month old puppy who loves new company. He and I go for walks around our neighborhood daily and we do outings to the park a few times a week. I have 2 cats that are indifferent to dogs and they have their own separate space so they can be alone if they want. I deep clean the litter boxes at least twice a week and would be happy to do the same for your kitties at your home. (Access to a hose outside is very helpful for this) I have room for crates and pets are not left outside unattended. I am very vigilant about picking up poop and want to keep a clean yard for the pups to play in.

About: I have worked with countless Canines for over 10 years; at dog shelters, training facilites, daycares and competitions. I am proficient at administering medications and working with dogs who have health and/or behavioral issues. My schedule is flexible which allows me to give your pup my undivided attention. My daily routine consists of playing, training and bonding with these dogs for a happier and fuller life. I've had dogs in my life since birth so I understand the commitment and dedication it takes working with k9s. I've also worked side by side with trainers, handlers and other professionals that have taught me how to better understand Canine behavior etc. To me, dogs are like toddlers, it's important to always know what they're doing. They need love, care and attention to thrive mentally and physically.

About: Dogs and cats are definitely our best friends and, as they love us unconditionally, we are their devoted fans. 🐾 I have a refrigerator magnet that says "I pet all dogs," as I definitely do love them. I did have cats growing up and into my adulthood, and also my son and stepdaughter, so I've had lots of experience with them. I've also had dogs for a large part of my adult life so I'm very experienced with dogs also. I've also watched friends and family cats and dogs and have watched up to five dogs at one time. Our pets give tremendous joy to our hearts, keep us active and put a smile on our face. As such, it would be a pleasure to meet your pet and spend time playing, walking, or running, with him/her and doing whatever they may love to do best. Thank goodness for Rover as it will provide me with opportunities to meet like-minded people with their fur babies and will allow me the opportunity to insure the care, time and love for your pet worry-free while you're away. I will also most definitely send you pictures! I have a flexible schedule and I have lots of experience. I look forward to hearing from you! 🐾 🩷Happy Tails! I'm retired so I'm available to care for your pet, even last minute. I would, of course, like your input on activities for your pet and to know your pet's level of activity and likes/dislikes before engaging him/her but would definitely be sure to make your best friend happy and content while they're with me. I definitely follow the owners instructions on care for their pet, get your approval on activities and know your pet's level of activity and likes/dislikes before engaging him/her. I give lots of attention to your pet to be sure he/she is comfortable here at my home.

About: I love animals and have been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. Not only do I care for my two dogs (Gilbert and Bella!) but I have a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs and cats for my friends and family. I specialize in walking dogs and have experience walking in heavily populated areas, although I prefer to take dogs to parks and surround them by nature when I can. I am perfectly comfortable working with multiple dogs, but I am equally comfortable working with a single dog and keeping others from approaching if that is what the dog needs. Walking a dog is about what the dog needs, not what the people or surrounding dogs want. Sometimes that is a busy walk or trip to the dog park for socialization, and sometimes that is a quiet solo walk. Additionally, I am always prepared with snacks, water, and poop bags on my walks. I am also comfortable doing drop-in visits for some playtime, feeding, and/or a bathroom break. I am happy to provide the care that your pet needs! I work from home, part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule! I am happy to work with your pet in the early mornings, middle of day, or in the afternoon. I am available some evenings, but this fluctuates and might change day-to-day. I will always bring water, snacks, poop bags, and extra leashes & collars with me. I am happy to walk your dog by themselves or with other dogs. Similarly, I am happy to take your dog to a dog park for some off-leash exercise and socialization, but it is ultimately up to you! I am happy to accomodate whatever your pet needs.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2 years old. I love them. I love all animals. I treat my own like they are my children. NO spankings, ever, only positive reinforcement. Animals speak to you, if you just listen. I believe a dog and their owner have a special bond and trust based on routine and established habits, boundaries, and routines, and will follow any directions explicitly and with care. I’m here for you! I am free most any day or time, even odd hours or holidays. I need only a few hours notice, usually, in order to make a visit. I can only come to you or take your pup to a park or walk, as my apartment doesn’t allow for visitors, unfortunately. I can feed, water, give treats, play, walkies, cuddles, and of course lots of scratches and belly rubs! I even have a pet stroller if you have an older or disabled pet who wants to get out, but has issues walking!

“I had an amazing experience and couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received this weekend! She was incredibly attentive, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. She kept me updated throughout the stay, which I really appreciated, and my dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. It’s such a relief to find someone you can truly trust with your pets, and she exceeded all my expectations. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I am Marine Mammal Animal Care Professional. I have been in the animal care field for over a decade. During that time I have worked with animals of all ages and abilities, including but not limited to animals with vision and hearing impairments, senior animals, and animals with physical disabilities. I am responsible for paying very close attention to all details of facets of animal care, including but not limited to training and maintaining behaviors using positive reinforcement and other operant conditioning techniques, noting physical changes, appetites, managing food/caloric intake, and medication administration. A huge part of my job is reading and adjusting to animal behavior, and I am well versed in listening to animal body language. I am an animal care professional by trade, and though most of my experience is with exotic animals the care, passion, and expertise translate directly to pet care! Though I work 40 hours per week I work 4-10 hour days, leaving me with three full days off per week! I have very few other commitments outside of work, and live only a few miles from home. I live in a house with moderately sized fenced in back yard. I currently have a very friendly, well socialized tuxedo cat who gets along well with dogs and other cats. Though he usually has access to the entire house, he is also comfortable spending time in just my room if separation from other animals were to be needed or desired. I enjoy spending time with my or friends pets in my down time. My entire career is in animal care, so I am very used to adapting my routine and needs to fit the animals I am caring for. I will happily curl up on the couch with a furry friend or spend hours playing or walking, whatever suits each individual animals needs!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats. I’m currently a proud dog mom to a 3-year-old German Shepherd, so I’m especially comfortable with large, energetic breeds and understand the importance of exercise, patience, consistency, and lots of attention. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and company, I’ll care for them like I would my own. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets! I’m available throughout the week and can accommodate a variety of schedules and routines. I live in an apartment community with plenty of space for walks and a dog park for exercise and playtime. I also have my own German Shepherd and am experienced with balancing exercise, play, structure, and downtime throughout the day. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, potty, and play schedule as closely as possible. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, cuddles, and plenty of photo updates so you know how your pet is doing!

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
