“Dawer has been walking Honey for a couple of weeks. Honey has had some health issues - however! Right abt the time of her walk w Dawer - she is on high alert - waiting for him! Dawer couldn’t be a better choice for dog walking. We are VERY lucky to know him and to be on his schedule. He is compassionate, bright and professional!🦮♥️🦮”
“Cheryl is the absolute best, energetic, sensitive doggy person I’ve had the good fortune to meet since 2015 when Camille was a brand new pup. Thnx to Rover and especially to Cheryl. Cooper”
“Grace took excellent care of Jett while I was on travel. She was very prompt for this afternoon walks as well as detailed in the Rover reports. Highly recommend booking with Grace. Thanks so much :)”
About: I currently work part-time at a doggy boarding place and I’m trained to work with all the types of puppies and seniors or any in between know how to administer medication and those that are time sensitive have also worked with disabled doggy’s ❤️ I currently work part time so on my extra time off, I like to take care of your pets when you are not available or just need the extra help ❤️ I will care for them the same way I care for my pets and give them all the hugs and love that sweet innocent pups deserve
“Leanna was amazing Sailor loved her walks with her and she will definitely be a go to for future services!!! He comfort with dogs as well as her knowledge shows!! Definitely 5 star service.”
About: Hello, my name is Sandy and I am looking forward to taking care of your furry friend. I was born and raised in SB. After graduating from Cal Poly, I traveled the world and ended up settling in New Zealand where I had a small farm for 20 years. I raised 4 day old calves and bred our mares that produced 8 foals on our property. We had goats and ducks and chickens and of course we had dogs! And cats and one pig too. I trained and “gentled” our green horses (no breaking!) Bottle fed the calves and also mothered them on to nurse cows. Encountered many different aliments along the way from bowel troubles to twisted bowels to breech deliveries and blocked udders. We learned a lot! What does that have to do with taking care of your beloved doggie I hear you say? Patience, problem solving and the ability to cope with challenges under pressure. Also a deep love and appreciation of mother nature and animals. Like most other animal lovers, I’ve had dogs of all kinds and pets all my life. Our first family dog when I was a kid was called Sputnik which tells you how long ago that was! Maybe my next will be Artemis 😃 I am semi retired but still enjoy working and set my own schedule so I am available weekdays and weekends. Your pet will be well looked after. I love to go to the beach and will look forward to taking your furry friend with me. Shoreline Park is another favorite daily walk activity and just minutes away. My condo has a small fenced yard and a comfortable home for your doggie’s vacation. I live on the mesa in the Highlands with lots of easy walking just outside the front door and in the Honda Preserve so your pet will have plenty of short walks. I have been a dog owner all my life but when my last dog Nates, the absolute best dog in the world my children and I rescued from the animal shelter, left the planet for dog heaven, I couldn’t bring myself to get another and my children were all grown so I very much enjoy taking care of other’s pets.
About: I’ve taken care of family pets for years starting at age 6. Walking, bathing, exploring, and playing with pets are things I’ve done with our family pets for many years! I work part time, so I can schedule walks or at home visits easily in my day to day life. I don’t have any pets of my own at this time so yours will be getting all my attention! I know that leaving a pet at home while you’re away can be tough, so I like to do my best to follow your instructions thoroughly so that you can feel comfortable and confident that your pet is feeling well taken care of while at home.
About: My entire life I have been surrounded by the best furry family. We had well trained, obedient and incredibly kind dogs growing up. I wished upon a star at 10 years old and voila, I got my first golden retriever puppy as a present a few weeks later. Duke Skywalker was my first big responsibility, from working on potty training to letting him off leash on hikes and on the beach. He trusted me and I trusted him. During the pandemic, he was getting older and I did what I could to help him feel comfortable and loved. Even when he wasn’t able to walk, I’d place him in the back of the car and just sit with him watching the waves cuddled up with blankets. Must have patience with the older pups, and I loved every minute. I have trained my family’s adopted pups and they caught on fast. My roommate has a cat who I help care and train for when she is out of town for work, who knew training a cat actually works. Persistence, love and patience is key! I’m currently in between jobs, figuring out if I want a career switch. I have been wanting to surround myself with pets and helping anyone who needs it. I understand not having as much time as one would like, therefore happy to lend a hand in helping walk, feed, sit, even cuddle if your pet allows. I have a big space in my home and love to go outside and enjoy the fresh air, especially if it’s along the beach on a sunny day. In a client’s home, I would play with my new furry friend in the yard if they have or research nearby safe dog parks, or parks to walk with them to. And if the dogs or cats allow, always up for cuddles when sitting on the couch ‘Netflix & chilling’!
“Ariana was a wonderful sitter with for my Figgy! She was very communicative and flexible with my schedule. I would 100% reschedule with her! She took so many pictures of Figgy having fun! She was a very good companion for my fur baby! She took her to the beach and gave her lots of love! Very grateful for Ariana!”
About: I grew up with cats, and last year started watching dogs. I love going on walks and eating snacks! Maybe that is why they like me. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Most shifts are in the evening, so I am available during the normal 8-5 working hours. I adapt to their routine and happily make time for exercise and meals. I live in a two-story duplex, with a small enclosed outdoor area.
About: Hi there! I am passionate about showing up for our animals to the best of our abilities. Each dog has their own needs and I am happy to assist you in any way in meeting those needs! If they need frequent potty breaks, daily enrichment, or long walks, you can count on me to place your dogs as a priority. I received dog training and certification at my local animal shelter through their volunteer program, so I come prepared to handle all sorts of behaviors, breeds, and ages. I currently work part time downtown, so I can provide your animal with plenty of care! AM: I am up bright and early, so early morning walks before 8:30am work great for me. PM: My part time job is mainly evening oriented, so I am often available in the late afternoon to early evening on work days. On the days that I am not working, I can be available between 2:00pm to the following morning. Certain weekdays and weekends will be open to overnight pet sitting upon request. I can also work with my schedule to check on your dog throughout the day as agreed upon. Rest assured, I will fully commit to your requirements! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! In home, I do my very best to create a comfortable environment for you and your animals. My services will be catered to your animal’s specific needs. I will be sure to communicate with updates according to your preferences, because we all want to know how our pups are doing when we are away! Depending on your preferences, I can take your dogs out for walks around the neighborhood, or to the various local parks! I love to hike, so please let me know if that is something you’re interested in for your dog. You can be sure your dogs will be safe in my car! I treat them the same way I would a human child, with the utmost attention and diligence! I am a very safe driver, and have never received a ticket. I have experience giving my own dogs their prescribed medicine as directed by the vet. If this is required for your animal, I request specific and written instructions. During feeding times, I will follow your guidelines to ensure your animal has their familiar food. They will always have fresh water, and I will check their water supply continuously throughout the day.
“Kathleen was my first Rover experience and she was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure my pups were comfortable and taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be a returning customer!”
About: I’m a proud “dog uncle” to dozens of pups. With experience in raising and co-owning dogs, I treat every dog with love, patience, and fun. My schedule is currently very flexible for virtually any day (other than when I’m out of town of course). Happy to discuss what you’re looking for and accommodating all I can. I have a cat so I’m not able to take pets to my home since it’s also the kitty’s home and I don’t want to put her out. That being said, I’ve taken care of many pets at others people’s houses and I’m available to walk dogs while also providing some training if desired.
“Bekah has been so great for our family! Raven, our very energetic lab puppy needs lots of attention and exercise. Bekah comes super prepared for each walk and even cleans her off before bringing her back home, if Raven gets into a mud puddle ect. She is very loving to Raven and does a great job with her. I would highly recommend Bekah for any pet sitting or walking needs.”
“James was great for Apache. He was on time, communicated throughout and sent me lots of photos which I appreciated very much. James even went out of his way to take Apache for a few car rides (with my permission of course) for different walk destinations. Overall James has been amazing! I will definitely get James to walk Apache again and recommend him to anyone.”
Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Keiko arrived on time and ready to walk! Randall was a little hesitant to take off with a stranger and leave mom but that lasted until he got around the corner and they were off and walking. She arrived back on time and Randall was happy and tired. Glad we found Keiko
Ariana was a wonderful sitter with for my Figgy! She was very communicative and flexible with my schedule. I would 100% reschedule with her! She took so many pictures of Figgy having fun! She was a very good companion for my fur baby! She took her to the beach and gave her lots of love! Very grateful for Ariana!
Caitlin was amazing! I needed a sitter very last minute due to a family situation. I was nervous to find a walker/sitter on Rover, especially since I have such a large dog but I was in a pinch and Caitlin responded right away and suggested a meet-and-greet. I met her the next day and immediately felt relieved — she has so much experience and such a positive and excitement energy about animals! I left the following day knowing Daisy was in great hands. I appreciated the sweet photos and updates of the fun walks while I was away. I came home to a happy, healthy dog and calming music playing in the background. I honestly cannot express how relieved I felt knowing Daisy was so well cared for. I’m so grateful to now have someone in town I fully trust. Thank you, Caitlin!
