Tara is a top tier dog walker. She had so much patience with my shy, stranger-averse dog and took extra time to build trust. Tara left detailed rover cards for each walk and took plenty of photos.

Stephanie has been an amazing dog walker/companion for my pup while I’m at work. She’s been walking my baby Nahua consistently for about a month now. When I first found her on Rover she was kind enough to take time out of her day for a meet and greet . My baby is usually very apprehensive to meet people and does not trust easily. But after only 1 walk she now gets excited to see her. Stephanie has an electric and upbeat energy about her. She responds promptly, makes sure to keep me updated with multiple photos and detailed updates about their walks together . She is consistent, reliable, dedicated and goes above and beyond to care for my pup. More often that not she even extends the walk to give my baby more time outdoors. I would highly recommend her to care for your four legged children 🦮🐾. I hope Stephanie can continue to pencil us in for her services for a long time to come.

About: In addition to caring for my own lovely cat and senior pup, I have pet sat for friends and family members regularly for the past 10+ years. I have experience with fur babies with a range of quirks, behaviors, and medical needs, so I am prepared for anything that comes my way. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for critters, especially during the upcoming summer break! I am very careful and safety-conscious, so you can be sure I will leave your home secure and comfortable for your pets when I visit.

Demetrius was great with my big old bully. He took the job on short notice with no issues. It was the hottest days of summer and he powered through to give my boy Rizzo his daily walks. I loved the pictures he sent every day! Would highly recommend him.

About: I've been a hands-on pet owner for over a decade. I'm comfortable following specialized care routines, and staying calm in stressful or medical situations when pets need a little extra attention. I have experience administering medications and managing complex medical needs. I've also been a lifelong cat owner and cat-sitter for neighbors and family, so I'm well-versed in the quirks and independence of cats of all temperaments. I work from home, so your pet gets consistent companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows for plenty of playtime, walks, and one-on-one attention. When caring for pets in my home, I keep a calm, structured environment. I have one dog and two cats of my own, all well-socialized and comfortable around new animals. I introduce new pets gradually to make sure everyone adjusts safely. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet's existing routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any specific instructions. I send photo updates throughout the day so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I currently have 3 cats and I’ve had two dogs of my own in the past who I adopted and loved deeply, and they taught me the importance of patience, routine, and gentle care. I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities and truly enjoy building trust with each pet. I work full time fully remote during the week which gives me flexibility for lots of day time loves and pets and letting outside. I also love to go on walks on my hour lunch and long walks at mission beach during the weekend! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle care, close supervision, and regular updates with photos and messages so you always feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for!

About: Having lived with animals for over 30 years, I have a lifelong love of animals. I have experience caring for a variety of animals from cats and dogs, to reptiles and small mammals. It is incredibly rewarding to see how my love and care positively impacts the animals I care for! I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else's care. My time will be dedicated to ensuring that your animal is comfortable and cared for during your time away. Since my partner and I work from your home, your animals will always have someone with them. You will also receive regular updates via text so you never have to worry. I am also happy to accommodate any special requests related to care. To ensure safety, vaccinations and flea medication must be up to date for cats and dogs. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can adjust my routine as needed based off your pet's needs. For dog walking and drop-ins, I can come to your home up to twice a day. Boarding: Dogs are primarily kept inside. Dogs are walked in the morning and evening and given bathroom breaks throughout the day. Playtime outside in the backyard is supervised. Food is divided up into three meals a day. Cats are strictly kept inside. Cats have access to multiple litter boxes that are cleaned daily. Amenities include scratching posts, cat trees, and bedding. You will receive an update each day on how your pet is doing.

Mackenzie does an amazing job with my extremely high energy boxer.

I can certainly say that Boo comes back very satisfied and gets excited when I say Mackenzie’s name.

Matt is a dog whisperer! He did a fantastic job walking our 75-pound pit mix, Rosie, for an hour each morning for 8 days. He was very punctual, great at dealing with Rosie’s habit of scrounging for food and her dog reactivity. He also took the sweetest photos for Rosie’s walk report cards.
