“Angela is amazing and very thoughtful. Our dog is a bit shy around strangers and she did a great job building his trust giving him the exercise he needed without overwhelming him.”

“Tatiana has been walking my two dogs and has been doing a great job! Constantly communicates and super responsive, flexible, and eager to take care of dogs. One dog is older and one is a puppy, and Tatiana has done a great job at handling them both, and even Belle, who normally is unwelcoming to strangers, warmed up super quickly. Would recommend!”

“I recently hired Selena to walk my dog while I was out of town for three weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She is incredibly friendly, punctual, and reliable—qualities that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog absolutely adores her, which is the most important thing to me! Selena goes above and beyond by sending lots of photos and videos after each visit, which made me feel connected to my dog even from afar. Her updates were always detailed and full of happy moments, showing how much she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. I highly recommend Selena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. She’s simply awesome!”

About: i only take on one dog at a time, so your dog will get my undivided attention. I've taken care of dogs ever since I was little as my family has 3 dogs - a chihuahua and two Maltese. As a huge dog lover, I've always held the responsibility of feeding, washing, trimming, and walking them. I know that we are our pets' whole world, so I truly understand the importance of giving them care, love, and attention. I am able to walk your dog on the weekdays/ weekends in the mornings, during lunch and in the evenings. I work from home in Nob Hill, so I am flexible on the weekdays. My dogs are currently not living with me right now as I moved away from my parent's house and am living in an apartment. I look forward to spending quality time with your furry animal and giving him/her all the attention and love!

“We had a last minute appointment for our ceremony at City Hall and needed someone to look after Sigrun outside while still letting us grab a few photos with her. William responded so quickly, showed he genuinely cared, and made the whole process stress free. He clearly knows how to connect with dogs! Thank you so much for helping us out on our big day!”

About: Hi, I’m Grace — a dependable, attentive caregiver with a lifelong love for dogs. I had a Pomeranian named Gizmo who lived a long, happy life and taught me how special the bond between dogs and their humans truly is. While we’re not ready for another dog of our own just yet, caring for others’ pets allows me to share that love in a meaningful way. I’m naturally nurturing and detail-oriented. I’ve supported close family members mother in law with lung cancer through serious health challenges and husband thru multiple surgeries , which strengthened my patience, reliability, and ability to stay calm in any situation. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I am studying and taking an insurance certification course in the mornings Monday-Friday. I am free to house sit, dog walk, or do drop ins for your dog after 11 am Monday-Friday What you can expect sitting in your home: • Calm, consistent, and loving care • Clear communication • Daily photo updates • Respect for your home and routines • Extra attention to senior or anxious dogs I understand you’re trusting someone with a member of your family — I don’t take that lightly.
About: Caring for dogs and cats has been a life long passion! 🐱🐶From my own family pets to neighbor’s furry friends, I found a passion for taking care of animals. I have the most experience with dog walking on other pet care platforms and multi pet house sittings. I currently work full-time during the week and I work from home Mondays and Fridays. From Friday-Monday I am the most free, while the other weekdays I’m only free in the evenings. I have an apartment a block away from a grassy park and a 15 minute walk from Lafayette Park. There are no other animals in my apartment and no harmful plants to cats or dogs.
“Margaux is incredibly reliable and treats my dogs with care and patience. My pups always come home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. I feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such good hands.”

Thank you and I look forward to meeting you! My dog, Blu, enjoys laying outside in the sun and in the sun spots in our condo. We usually walk over to the large park that’s within walking distance to get those sniffs in, and some social interaction with humans throughout the day :) She’s is extremely treat motivated.

Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Halley is my first stop anytime Im out of town and Rocko needs a little extra attention. She’s attentive and thorough, never leaving my or Rocko hanging. Rocko love all of his walks with Haley and Harrison. Absolute, 1000% recommend her as your next choice in pet care!

Celia is fantastic! She’s been walking Marble twice a week for months (and boarded him before that), and she really takes the time to get to know his unique personality. Cattle dogs like Marble can be a lot to manage, and he recently started barking at a nearby dog park. I couldn't figure out how to calm him down, but Celia stepped in and found the perfect fix: she gave him a "job" by letting him carry a ball in his mouth. It worked perfectly! Marble and I are so lucky we found her - would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who’s reliable, creative, and clearly loves what she does!

Abigail has been so great! My dog Dexter loves her, and he and her dog get along super well. Abigail is very communicative and always sends lots of photos, which I very much appreciate. Overall, Abigail takes very good care of Dexter and I would highly recommend her to anybody looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter/walker!

Samara has been absolutely wonderful walking my dog River! I get the best photos and updates from their walks, and Samara communicates very well if there are any clarifications or issues with our schedule/logistics. She was able to modify her schedule and fit me in super last minute when I had an emergency situation which was very helpful!
