“Tina was wonderfully kind and patient with my pup Toshi this week. She has a very good reputation among my peers, and I felt comfortable with Toshi in her expert care. I was treated to detailed attention to Toshi and to her environment during walks with notes and support. Thank you so much Tina! Looking forward to future visits!”

About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for friends :) and family for over 9 years. I am comfortable handling all dogs, cats & and even bunnies!!! I truly love them all! I believe man’s best friend deserves plenty of love, attention, and care. :). I understand that busy schedules can sometimes make it hard to give pets all the time they need, and I’d love to help provide that extra support. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, walks, cuddles, or companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently back in school full-time pursuing another degree, and when I’m not in class or studying, you’ll usually find me outside enjoying the sunshine. I have fond memories of working for a family friend as a dog walker during my undergraduate years, and now that I’m back in school as a postgraduate student, I’d love the opportunity to help fellow pet owners again. I’m very dependable, detail oriented, and a strong rule follower who appreciates clear instructions and routines. I will carefully follow your pet care guidelines to make sure your pups stay safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care. I’m also mindful about respecting your home and ensuring both your dogs and cats are well cared for every step of the way.
“10/10 . Brandy was AWSOME . She acknowledged our dogs needs and actively helped them enjoy their walks with her. She’s full of respect and so much l affection for the dogs . We recommend Brandy ! Thank you :)”

“Kayla was great with my rambunctious Dalmatian! She ensured to tire her out each walk. I received several photos and a detailed description each time. She even asked before treating my pup to a pup cup, which I thought was very thoughtful. I would definitely use her in the future!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and for the past two years I’ve been dedicated to pet sitting with a lot of love and attention. I live with Hickory, my sweet 3-year-old husky–lab mix—he gets along with everyone, loves outdoor activities, and brings a calm, friendly energy to every dog he meets. I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. I always make sure each pup feels safe, loved, and excited to be here! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of free hours to spend with your pups. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays depends on the day. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or just some cozy company, I can easily fit their needs into my routine. I live in a cozy apartment with a private patio where dogs can relax, sniff around, and enjoy some fresh air in a safe space. My building also has its own dog park, which is perfect for playtime, exercise, and safe socialization. Hickory, my sweet and friendly 3-year-old husky–lab mix, loves meeting new friends and brings a calm, social energy to visiting pups. I’m very attentive to routines, safety, and each dog’s individual needs—I can follow specific instructions, keep things peaceful for shy dogs, or provide extra activity for energetic pups. If your dog needs crate time, I can easily accommodate that. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, secure, and truly cared for.
“Nicolas is a great dog walker! He is timely, very communicative, and my dog Mabel loves to see him. I look forward to using him in the future for dog walks and I would highly recommend him!”

“I recently had the pleasure of booking a dog walker through Rover for my dogs , and I must say, the experience exceeded all my expectations. Here's why I highly recommend Jessica’s :Professionalism and Reliability: she was punctual, dependable, and incredibly professional from our first interaction. It was clear that they take their role seriously and with the utmost responsibility.Communication: Excellent communication before, during, and after each walk. She provided updates and photos, which were greatly appreciated and reassured me that my dog was in good hands.”

“I made a joke that I wished we had teleportation, I had to move. Clémentine is incredible and made my days so much easier knowing my baby was in safe hands. She always came back from her walks so happy and I came home from work to a clean and calmer environment!”


“Cathy totally took care of my little ones while I was away for the weekend. She went above and beyond making sure they got food, meds, cuddles & took good walks. She even helped to keep my senior pup clean, dry & comfy. She’s communicative & kept the house in good shape too. Definitely working w/ her again.”

About: Hi my name is Sam! I’m a student who wants to dog sit on the side of working! I have a deep love for pets that goes back for as long as I can remember so something like this just makes sense to me. I’ve had the chance to meet and own many pets in my day and have lots of knowledge on them. My mom calls me Dr Dolittle because even when I was really young I’ve always loved dogs. I for one know how pets mean family and can give love, attention, and care while you cannot. I am new to this but would love the experience and growing a connection! My schedule is free I’m available weekends weekdays and holidays! I would prefer to stick to sittings and boardings and would like to focus on one sitting at a time so I can properly give 100% attention and care. There will always be a set of eyes on your pup. I provide walks cuddles and play! I can deal with energetic and laid back pets.
“My fiancé and I left for a week vacation and needed someone to walk our big rottie twice a day. Arash took such good care of Bear and Bear absolutely loved him! Arash was responsive and always kept us in the loop of what time he was going to take him for his walks. He also sent us lots of pics and just kept us updated which gave us peace of mind. 10/10 recommend him! Will be booking him again in the future for when we’re out of town”


About: I think what sets me apart from other sitters is my determination, admiration, and respect for all. I take all comments and concerns as a growing opportunity for my own experience and also to better the experience of your pets. I work graveyard 5 days a week, and I find myself wanting to detach and find comfort in another opportunity as well as keeping my original job. I am good with communication and will always find a way to work around my schedule, compromise, while also taking consideration of the owners schedule. I will first make sure your pet is comfortable with me in their presence and asking the owners about their personality and what the pets routine is throughout the day/night. I am a list person and will always make sure to check all the boxes as needed. While also developing a kind friendship with your pet.
“Leigh-Ann is honestly the best dog walker I’ve ever had! Her communication is amazing, and she is always so thorough and thoughtful. My dog absolutely loves going on walks with her, and he is always so happy when I come home, which lets me know he had a great walk. She always gives him treats, belly rubs, and makes sure he has everything he needs before leaving. I truly appreciate how caring and reliable she is, and I highly recommend her!”

About: All my life I have loved and cared for animals of all kinds and ages including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hedgehogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, and even horses. I trained and fostered dogs before a brief stint abroad where I just completed my Master's degree. As much as I love walks and playtime, I am not afraid of the messy and equally important side of pet care. I have taken care of animals with special needs and medication requirements. I always maintain general pet hygiene including baths, brushing, ear and teeth cleaning, and proper tic removal. Whatever your pet may need or quirks they may have, I will be happy to make sure they are taken care of. I just moved back to CA and am working as a part-time nanny and freelance film crew which means I make my own schedule and have the flexibility to not only care for your fur family but also focus all my time and energy on them when I do so. As a house sitter, I am here to provide pet care and overall home care. Your pets will be my highest priority, of course, but I'm here to maintain your home and help provide peace of mind while you are away.
“Peter is an outstanding professional. Lola, my sweet companion, connected with him instantly from the very first moment. He arrived on time every day for her walks and kept me fully updated with detailed notes, including potty breaks, photos, and even maps of their route. His care and consistency gave me total peace of mind. I will absolutely continue booking with him whenever we need help.”

Caitlin was friendly, professional, and an excellent communicator throughout the entire experience. She kept me updated and made me feel confident that my dog was in great hands. What really stood out was that after the walk was completed, she went above and beyond by returning to my house to turn on the air conditioning for my dog after I realized I had forgotten. That level of care, thoughtfulness, and reliability is hard to find. I truly appreciated her kindness and attention to detail, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was being cared for by someone so responsible. I would absolutely book with Caitlin again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.

My dogs seemed to absolutely lover Trevor! They had a great walk, and Trevor was extremely helpful and responsive. He listened to special requests like avoiding other dogs, and made sure my dogs had the best time on their walk. Will definitely book again, thanks!
Had a great first experience with Doris! She was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, asking nuanced questions that showed she truly cares about providing quality, individualized care. Her interaction was warm and genuine, and my big puppy immediately picked up on that—she felt comfortable with her right away. It’s clear she takes the time to build a real connection with the dogs she works with. I’ll definitely continue using her and highly recommend her to others!
