“Appreciate that David came and met Bodie prior to the evening when he took care of him. After we returned from our night out, Bodie was happy to see us, having been fed and walked. Thanks to David.”

About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I have two puppers of my own - Charlie, a chihuahua terrier mix and a rescue, Maggie. I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I now have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to be available for consistent walks throughout the week. Weekday mornings & afternoons work best for me. Safety is my top priority. I keep dogs on a leash, unless instructed otherwise, stay aware of my surroundings and avoid unsafe situations. I also make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and make sure the pets are comfortable.
“It's a wonderful experience having Sonomi taking care of our dog Sky. She is awesome and Sky loves her. She is punctual, caring, kind and happy person. We would highly recommend her to our family & friends for pet care. Thanks so much Sonomi.”
“I am so impressed with the level of attention and care Aarthi gave to our pup. She took him on one of the longest walks. Total removed any guilt we had leaving him at home. Will definitely be looking to rebook. Thank you!”
“Julia is awesome! Extremely reliable and even helps us out with last minute requests. Love not having to worry if my dog is getting enough exercise and attention when he’s with Julia.”
“Genevieve was great! She is super nice and showed up right on time. Our dog made her walk far and was being difficult but she handled it with ease. Will definitely book her in the future!”
“Susana is very reliable and dependable. My dog is normally very anxious when I come home from a long trip, but this time I came home to a very calm dog. Thank you for taking great care of my Maverick ❤️🐕”
“Meghan is so great with our puppy! She’s so understanding and has amazing patience 😅. I love the notes she leaves on the Rover Card. She’s so upbeat and funny and you can tell she truly cares for the pets she takes care of.”
“Elena was able to quickly respond to our request to walk our dog and help walk our dog the next day. She provided great communication and professionalism. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I grew up with a lot of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and cows. I am very familiar with pet wants/needs and training from walking to food needs to playfulness. Pet care fits well into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and can make time for drop-in visits, feeding, litter care, and companionship throughout the week. I am comfortable working around a cat’s normal schedule and following specific instructions so their routine stays consistent while you are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their environment safe, calm, and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, make sure doors, gates, crates, leashes, and windows are secure, and pay attention to each pet’s comfort level. For dogs, I make sure walks are safe, controlled, and suited to their energy level. For cats, I respect their space and routine while keeping food, water, and litter areas clean.
“He proactively asked to meet before the walk to meet my dog Lucy and I, and to see where things in the house would be kept such as the leash, dog bags, etc. He wrote personalized summaries of their walks, filled the water bowl and left the light on as asked. Excellent dog walker with a lot of dog experience pre-dating Rover.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs, including my own pup of 14 years. Caring for a dog through every stage of life—from puppyhood to senior care—has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I also provide regular updates and plenty of love to help both pets and owners feel at ease. I’m currently home for the summer before starting dental school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day. This means I can provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, ensuring pets receive the care and supervision they need while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, fresh water, meals on schedule, and close attention to their individual needs while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages.
“Emely was great with walking my dog. She made sure to let me know when she started the walk and sent me pictures along his walk! Would highly recommend her and would definitely book her again!”

This was our second time booking with Christina, and she was great as always. We were away for almost a month, and she took excellent care of our puppies. Puppies were happy and healthy when we returned. Many thanks to Christina! We hope to work with her again in the future.
Ryan was great with my dog! He was very kind, accommodating, and communicated really well throughout everything. He was punctual and He also accepted my booking on short notice, which I really appreciated. My dog liked him right away and came back happy and tired. Would definitely book with Ryan again!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog receives! From the very first walk, it was clear that Ashley has such a gentle touch and a natural way with dogs. Ashley handles my dog with both confidence and kindness, which immediately made me feel comfortable trusting her. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives for a walk. It’s obvious that she feels safe, relaxed, and genuinely happy in her care. That kind of bond and trust means everything to me as a pet parent. She also hosted my dog for a full week at her home, and the experience was wonderful. My dog settled in beautifully and clearly enjoyed her stay. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in a loving environment where she was comfortable, well cared for, and treated like family. I’m incredibly grateful to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and caring. I happily continue to use her every week for daily walks and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.
It was my first time using Rover for my pet, Cory, and I truly appreciated the experience. Everything went exactly as I expected. Solmaz was on time and very kind to Cory. Even though it was the first time Cory met her, he immediately felt comfortable with her, listened to her instructions, and clearly enjoyed being around her. She also kindly gave Cory a complimentary wash, which was a very thoughtful gesture. I really appreciate her care and professionalism, and I would definitely recommend Solmaz.
