“Sadie always has a great time with Sheila! Since I'm gone 12 hours a day, it feels good knowing that I can depend on Sheila to help take care of my dog. She was very thorough and asked good questions during our first meeting, and lets me know far in advance if she's going to be out of town.”

About: Having grown up training and working an XL breed alongside a frenchie, I have experience with dogs great and small. I love big dogs, trained dogs, elderly dogs and puppies. I’m comfortable crate training and caring for working jobs with training schedules. I currently work part time at a bank so I’m available most holidays and weekends, and can stay full time at your home to take dogs on potty breaks at all hours. I tend to keep a low profile in a client’s home beyond dirtying linens. I typically go for the guest bedroom and will only cook in the microwave if at all. I ask that I am left written instructions and schedules to best care for your animals.

About: Previous experience with dogs and cats at local shelters as well as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Knowledgd in providing care for all types of different animals. Outside of roller derby training with the local league and volunteering with the food bank, my schedule is open and available to help with your pet care needs. I have previous experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and animals with low socializing issues; however, I am not a trained nor certified trainer.

“Jacob is incredible! Always reliable and quick to respond. I love that I always get photos on the walks and that his pup gets to join! Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs longer than I can remember, with my childhood dog being a black lab named Rosebud. I’ve dealt with dogs ranging in all shapes and sizes. With the smallest being a Pomeranian and the biggest being a Saint Bernard. I’ve worked with energetic and lazy dogs, understanding the different care needs they might have. I have the basic knowledge on grooming and bathing. I’ve also worked with litter puppies and training puppies. I also understand the care and needs senior dogs may need as well. I currently have a dog named Kuma who I care for everyday as well. I work a normal 8 hour job during the week days. I am available for boarding for any day of the week as long as your dog is okay with other dogs. I always able todo same day bookings weather is walking or just drop ins. I am very flexible and spend most time chilling at home or going to the park with my current dog. I’m located next to many dog parks if that is what your dog needs. I also love walking and am an exercise guru, I’m always ready for a long walk if that’s what your pup prefers. I live by the moto “protecting pups, one paw at a time”. I understand that these animals are family and I strive to ensure their safety and proper care.

About: I am a stay at home husband with a lifelong passion and love for all animals. I have been caring for animals since I was young, and have experience with all variety of cats and dogs. I've handled everything from basic routine walking and feeding, to post-surgery care and diaper changes, from baby to senior. Rest assured, I will treat your pets with the utmost respect and care, because they deserve nothing less. I’m very excited to be a part of the Rover family and look forward to caring for your pets. Hope to hear from you soon! I have a fairly open schedule, and will never rush with your pets! I'm more than happy to dedicate as long as your pet needs to receive the care it deserves! I keep a routine schedule with my dog Zuko, including feeding, walking, exercise, and medications. I also regularly watch my neighbor's pets, performing tasks such as playing, picking up, maintaining litter boxes, feeding, and walking.
“So grateful to find a great dog walker with Anna! She takes amazing care of our pupper taking him on walks, and playing fetch! I know he’s in great hands with her and has fun while we’re away”

“Amber was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog and provided a reliable, positive experience. She arrived on time, followed all instructions carefully, and was very responsive to messages throughout the booking. I felt confident that my dog was in good hands and would be happy to have her care for him again. Highly recommended!”


About: I love dogs! I grew up with dogs my whole life and have lots of experience taking care of and playing with them. I work around 30 hours a week (schedule varies) and I am looking to spend some of my free time with my favorite animal! I can run with dogs if yours needs some extra exercise. I will cater to your dogs need and do my best to make your day and the dogs. I live in SLO and don’t mind driving to you or taking the dog to a park or whatnot in my car. I can’t wait to get to know your pup and make their day like they make yours everyday. Please contact me if you need me to help with your dog!

“Sarah is lovely to work with and my Daisy L❤️VES her! Not only is she beyond patient and kind with my dog, but she is also quick to respond, 100% reliable, and has wonderful communication skills. I was a bit hesitant to use Rover, but if all dog walkers are even close in comparison to Sarah, your animal will be in the best care. Thanks, Sarah!!”

About: What sets me apart is my deep, real-life experience and love for animals. For the past year, I’ve been the primary caregiver for a 6-year-old golden retriever rescue, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to meet a dog exactly where they are—especially when trust and routine really matter. I also grew up with two golden retrievers, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. In addition, I spent four months caring for a beautiful cat on a farm in North Carolina, giving me hands-on experience with cats and different living environments. I treat every animal as if they’re my own, with genuine attention, affection, and respect for their individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have open availability and do all of my schoolwork from home, so I’m able to be present, flexible, and attentive throughout the day. On occasion, I may need to step away for a few hours for work once or twice a week, but I always plan ahead to make sure pets are comfortable, exercised, and cared for before and after. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adjust my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I have a small dog park like literally right across the street from me so it's perfect!! I care for pets as if they’re my own, giving them the best love and attention I can. I make sure they get healthy meals, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy. I also have plenty of friends with dogs in the building and area where they can call meet and play!
“Jenna was right on time for tuckers walk and took the time to do a meet and greet a few days prior to the walk so we could all meet, which I appreciated a ton.s She was punctual, knowledgeable and easy going. Thank you Jenna!”

“Sydney did a great job with our 2 pups! Sydney took time to meet and get to know our American Staffy and lab mix, both rescues and with their own quirkiness.”

About: I have loved animals all my life! From living in a household of cats, to taking care of family and friends dogs from days to weeks on end, I’ve always loved to be around pets. I’ve lived with either cats, dogs, or both consistently for 15+ years. Can’t wait to take great care of your pets and make some new furry friends! I have a wide range of availability! My work is a hybrid schedule, so there is flexibility with times. I can take care of pets during both weekdays and weekends, so let me know when you need some help. I will follow your instructions to a T. If you are particular about certain aspects of your pet care, I will absolutely take that into great consideration and follow accordingly! I want to ensure you and your pet are as comfortable as possible, so whatever that may be, please let me know.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
Anna is honestly the best! She’s walked in to my house finding that my dog has pulled some stitches out. She got a hold of my emergency contact right away when she couldn’t get a hold of me and offered to come back and take him to the vet if needed! She cares so much, I couldn’t have appreciated her more when I was away!

Amber was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog and provided a reliable, positive experience. She arrived on time, followed all instructions carefully, and was very responsive to messages throughout the booking. I felt confident that my dog was in good hands and would be happy to have her care for him again. Highly recommended!

Thanks Marissa for walking my favourite son, Logan. I really appreciate the quick responses during a chaotic time for us (having just moved from another country). Logan is an anxious dog, sometimes not ok w other dogs and judging by the feedback and photos Marissa sent, she’s managed to help him make new furry friends already!! Thank you so much.

Highly recommend Matt. He is punctual and communicates very well. I initially used him when my regular rover guy was on vacation. Now I use Matt full time as I was more impressed with him. We work long hours and work about an hour away. And I do not stress if my babies are being taken care of.

Claire was amazing! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, and communicative throughout the entire experience. She took such great care of Molly, and it was clear that Molly felt comfortable and happy with her. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing Molly was in such good hands. I would absolutely book Claire again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Elena was great!! She took such good care of our pups, taking them on long walks (even in the rain) and sent many cute photos that were better than the ones we have even been able to take! We were relieved knowing that Elena was coming over to feed and check on the pups after having been gone for a long day because we knew she would take great care of them and the pups love her.

Sarah has been walking our pups for the past two weeks, and they’ve already fallen in love with her. She’s punctual and ensures they get their walks, treats, and belly rubs. I had a hard time finding someone I could trust to take care of them, but I’ve found my perfect match in Sarah.
