About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and have been the designated dog sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always checking in on pups, taking them for walks, and giving them lots of love. I’ve also spent plenty of time caring for dogs overnight while their owners were out of town. I truly treat every dog like they’re my own and love getting to know their unique personalities. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pup, whether they need a walk, a quick check-in, or someone to stay with them while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I work full time remotely in HR and love traveling and exploring new places! I’ve always loved dogs and have wanted one of my own for years, but with my current travel lifestyle, now isn’t the right time. Dog sitting and walking feels like the perfect way to spend time with pups, get some extra steps in, and make a little extra money to put toward my travels. I’d love to give your pup some love and attention! I’m a responsible, respectful, and trustworthy person who will treat your home and pets with the same care I would my own. I’m very mindful of personal spaces, keep things clean and tidy, and always follow any instructions you provide. I’m friendly, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, checking in on your pup, or spending more time in your home, you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring and respectful hands.
About: I am an energetic and pet loving person who’s grown up with dogs and loves every animal. My girlfriend and I currently have a one year old German Shepard and love spending time with her. We adopted her from a shelter about a year and a half ago and have loved every minute with her. I treat every pet with lots of love and believe they need all the attention in the world. I always look forward to meeting new dogs and cats and get excited at every opportunity to walk or play with them. I am an active person and really enjoy taking pets out for walks. I have 4 years of direct experience looking after dogs and am very comfortable with caring for dogs and cats.

Since I work from home most days, I sometimes take them for an afternoon walk if they are feeling very energetic. We have a little play ground we let them go to bring out their zoomies before coming back in. Around 4-5pm, we always go to the park close to our neighborhood to let our furry friends play with each other and socialize! In the days it rainy, we usually take a longer walk around the neighborhood. I care for pets by prioritizing their safety, routine, and overall well-being, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication administration, exercise needs, and any behavioral or medical considerations.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Del Mar
Daisy is hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! My senior dog is pretty high maintenance, she takes medications, has a complicated feeding routine, and has separation anxiety/hard time opening up to strangers but she immediately warmed up to Daisy. I appreciated all the pictures and prompt updates she sent me while I was away, I can’t recommend her enough.

Marla was an incredible sitter!! She was kind, communicative, and went out of her way to help care for our diabetic kitty and our home. In the heat of summer we had some ants show up and wildfire scare while we were away. Marla was so thoughtful. Our kitty loved her and was happy when we came home. Thank you!! 💕🫶

Couldn't recommend Jasmine enough! She was super communicative, kind and sent lots of photo updates while I was out of town. We had one of our walkers fall through while on vacation and she had no problem helping us out last minute :) Definitely will be using her services again in the future!

Ari is EXCEPTIONAL!!! We have a VERY uncomfortable 11 yr old pup and do not ever leave her alone. She warmed up to Ari extremely fast. Her communication was excellent. You can instantly tell her love for pups (animals) Couldn’t be happier finding her on this App. We will absolutely be using her in the future and are thrilled with the peace of mind knowing our pup is in incredible hands ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am so grateful to have found Nataliya. I have a large, anxious dog that requires someone who is patient and willing to put in the extra effort to make him feel comfortable. Nataliya is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and even helped me with some training guidance. I will definitely be a repeat client, highly recommend!
