About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 6 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and love making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also have experience with energetic dogs and keeping pets on their regular routines. I have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free in their own environment while keeping owners updated with messages and photos.

About: I have taken care of dogs for eleven years. As of right now I have two german shepherd, husky mix 1 year olds. I got them when they were 4 weeks old, they are absolutely my best friends. We spend all the time together, we love playing fetch and chase. I’m kind of a stay at home dog mommy. I am not working, I stay at home with my fur babies. I have extra time to help others with their fur babies. I love being around dogs. Im very aware of surroundings, especially with a fur baby. Once when taking my babies on a walk, they were attacked by another dog and it made me become even more protective than I was. I know how it feels to have people not respect the rules that we make for our babies, so I will always be so respectful of everything that is expected/ not expected.

About: I've grown up with dogs, taking care of them regularly. Living in the desert has equipped me with the skills to care for animals in a harsh climate such as constantly providing water, scheduling walks out of the heat, and watching out for wildlife. I also volunteered at an animal shelter while I was in high school where I learned more about the needs of various animals, learning that each have their own personality! I'm currently home for the summer from college, so my hours are very flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends to help with feeding, walking, and just hanging out with your pets! I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I'm here to adapt to their needs and ensure that they are happy and healthy!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience working as a groomer’s assistant, where I helped with bathing, brushing, grooming prep, and nail trims for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling nervous, energetic, senior, and special-needs pets, and I always focus on making them feel safe and cared for. I also have extensive experience fostering dogs for rescue organizations and helping animals in need, including rescuing pets off the streets and giving them loving homes. Caring for animals isn’t just work for me—it’s part of my everyday life. My home is full of happy pets, including three dogs, one cat, six birds, and a tortoise. I offer dependable and loving care including dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, bathing, grooming support, and nail trims. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I’d love the chance to care for your furry family members. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, boarding, and last-minute bookings when needed. I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, and evenings to fit your pet’s routine. I’m dedicated to keeping your pet safe and happy. I make sure their space is peaceful, loving, and spotless, so they can feel secure and at ease. I pay close attention to their feeding times, medicine, exercise, and any special needs they might have. I also make sure to earn their trust and treat them as if they were part of my family, whether I’m taking care of them at my place or yours.

About: Hello! Don't let my profile location deter you from reaching out, I have a very wide service area. I am available to care for all of your pets while you're away! Please contact me for a quote if you have a pet you'd like me to care for other than a dog or cat (submit it as a dog/cat request) ☺️ New to Rover? I have a discount code for you if you book your first service with me! I am available for night and evening drop-ins to feed and play with your pets. Do you work nights and hate leaving your babies alone? Are you going to a fancy dinner and want to make sure your pets are okay when you're gone? I can come by and give you some peace of mind. I can also care for other pets, including lizards, fish, hamsters, rabbits, etc. I am a huge animal lover. I adopted a senior dog years ago and he was the best dog ever, up until his very last day in December, 2023. Our household has water snails, fish, three cats, a dog, and a pig! I have experience with rabbits and hamsters and other small pets, and I have experience with special needs animals. My longest boarding to date was 5 months for a senior cat with Cerebellar hypoplasia. My schedule recently changed, so I am available on most days for drop-ins and walks. I also offer boarding, house sitting, and daycare. We are a very animal friendly household. I have a fenced yard and a kiddie pool so your doggos can play and keep cool! My piggy will be there to keep your baby company and I have a 14 year old kid who loves to snuggle and play with all your pets! Cats will enjoy their own space so they can feel comfortable ☺️ !!!Important Notes!!!: I love watching and caring for your snuggle bug(s)! However, I have to sleep too. If you can't pick up your pet before 7pm, one additional day of boarding or doggy daycare will be added to your booking. An additional fee will be added for dogs over 40 pounds. Dogs under 1 year and/or "bully breeds" will be accepted on a case-by-case basis. By booking with me, you acknowledge that if your puppo damages property, you are responsible for any cost of repairs or replacement. When damage occurs, it is usually caused by pets that do not crate or have high anxiety when left alone for even short periods. My policy on dog breeds and sizes is in place because of two separate incidents. First, I lost a beloved pet to a boarded Rover doggo on Christmas morning, 2020. Having to put my little pig Minnie in the freezer after being attacked on Christmas morning was a horribly traumatic experience. In June 2023 I was attacked by a 110lb Rover dog at a meet and greet and had to go to the hospital. If the owner had not been present, I would have been killed. These are incidents that I will not risk repeating. Thank you so much for understanding!

This was our first time using Rover, and therefore our first time having Jon walk our dog. We asked Jon to come by each day at 7, as it gets pretty hot here in the desert quite early in the morning. Sammi is used to hour long walks as well. We can say Jon did not disappoint! He was at our house every morning at 7 on the nose and gave our Sammi a full hour walk each day. They walked a mile plus on each journey and Sammi looked forward to seeing him every day. Could not have asked for a better experience!

We really appreciated Briana's help with getting our dogs out when we had to be away from the house. She was incredibly nice and you could tell she cared about the dogs. Not to mention, her patience when one of our dogs decided to growl and hide from her when she came to walk them. She was able to eventually get them both out and even spent some extra time with them to make them more comfortable. Can't say enough nice things! Would definitely recommend!

About: Extensive experience providing attentive, one-on-one dog walking with a focus on safety, structure, and personalized care. Every walk is tailored to your dog’s needs. My schedule is open Monday through Friday. On weekends, I work as an Activities Assistant at a care home, which reflects my strong background in responsibility, patience, and compassionate care. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes regular walks, fresh water, playtime, and lots of positive attention. Safety is always my top priority, so I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and supervised at all times. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs to provide calm, consistent, and personalized care. I also keep owners updated and treat every pet with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats of all types and have been a dog lover for over 40 years. I’m incredibly active, so I love walking and taking them to dog parks. Two of my dogs had diabetes and special elder care needs, so I am able to handle many medical issues/needles. I also especially trained my Border Collie for theater shows and my little shitsu was Toto for live theater. Although, I am not a professional dog trainer, I love cultivating new skills in my dogs and I’m willing to try with yours. I have references and background check information. I run my own part time business, so I am flexible day and night, and can stay overnight as I currently do not have any animals or children of my own. Although I don’t have animals currently, I used to love walking them first thing in the morning, and beyond on that I can tailor excersize to their needs. For my dogs who were diabetic, I had to feed them at strict times twice per day. I am CPR and first aid certified.
