About: I love pets and have been around them most of my life. I grew up on a ranch in northern Montana. My brothers (2) each have large golden retrievers as well as cats. Currently I have an 8yr old mini-Australian Sheppard who loves all dogs and will welcome any friends. I've had her since she was 8 wks old so I know about how puppies can be. I’m not far from dog parks or can just take your pooch on a walk around the neighborhood. Just let me know how comfortable you are with you dog going to off leash areas, otherwise I can keep them on the leash. I am in town most weekends and work from home. I am always on time and will be happy to text a photo of your dog on our walk. I live in a pet friendly apartment, our complex also has a fenced dog playground as well as a pet spa for those muddy days.

About: I started watching the neighbors' pets at the age of 10. From there, I moved quickly into dog walking and dog sitting over the course of the years. In 2018, I house sat for three different families and their pets. Throughout my post college years I have always lived with pets, and feel not only more comfortable but that my quality of life is better when they are around. I wish I could afford a dog of my own, but for now it's been great experience to work with other people's pet and gain an understanding of just how much work it is. I have work 3x a week from 4pm-2 am. However, I am very flexible during the days to drop in on your animal, walk, play, whatever you request! I am definitely available on weekends to watch the house and your animal. If for some Reason I can’t feed the animal while I’m at work, I can send my partner to help. It's so joyful I forget that it's work, although it most certainly is. I am pretty flexible and proactive about communication. My recipe is snuggles, outside time, and a clean environment. I am unable to provide service in my home as my landlord prohibits pets of any kind, but I am more than willing to come to your home, help with your animal, and frankly whatever other tasks you need (ie: errands, cleaning) in order to create a safe space for your animal :)
About: I’ve had Pete my entire life and i couldn’t live without them. Pets are considered family to me and will always be around me and my family. I’m currently working part time and have lots of flexibility in my daily schedule. I’m flexible to work all seven days and will assure that your home and pets are well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard so that pets do not leave my backyard and are safe at all times of the day and or evening.
“We are so grateful that we found Monika on Rover. She is a wonderful person and was great with our dogs; they love her! Monika was clear and straightforward in her communication and punctual. Since we had not met in person before, it was very important to me that she arrive on time so that we could have a human meet-and-greet! I recommend Monika without hesitation.”
About: I have been a lifelong dog lover and love to play with dogs and take care of them! My daughter is also a great help and dogs love to play with her. We can’t wait to see yours!

About: I always had pets growing up and learned how to take care and give them the attention they need. I grew up with several dogs, cats, and even a turtle! I am a huge animal lover of all kinds and would love to be able to work with them. I have been a dog sitter for several neighbors with responsibilities like walking them, feeding them, playing fetch, bringing them to the dog park with other dogs, and bathing them. I currently am working from home and I only work part time. I am very flexible, although I would love to have an on-going long-term set schedule if possible! My boyfriend and I live in a duplex and are very active! We love running outside and going on hikes and would love to have a dog to join us on outdoor adventures. We live close to a dog park where they can run and socialize with others dogs!
“Amira was so kind and did a great job walking my girl while I was at an event. Would definitely book her again if I needed it”
“I have a Great Pyrenees puppy, newly rescued off the L.A. streets a couple of weeks ago, with no I.D. or training at all. She is big and strong and I am not, so I needed the right dog-walker for the 50-pound dog, and picked Kayla K. because she raised her own 100-lb. Labrador from his puppyhood. I cannot praise Kayla enough! We started with a dog dancing around, getting tangled underfoot, and grabbing the leash like a toy. That behavior is nearly all gone now. Kayla is prompt, warm, friendly, outgoing, brought the right collar/leash combo. (now I've bought my own). My puppy gets excited when she hears Kayla's car in the driveway, and greets her joyously, and comes home nicely tired out and smiling. I took my dog yesterday to a professional dog trainer to get some help with crating and commands (like down and come), and he, a professional, was extremely impressed with my dog's calm heeling abilities that she had acquired, thanks to Kayla.”
About: I’ve been involved with all types of animals my entire life, mainly horses and dogs.Experience with some basic vet care as well. Can administer meds and vet follow up treatments. Comfortable with big dogs. I have house/pet sit anywhere from 3 days to 2 months at a time. See recommendations on Nextdoor. My schedule is flexible. I do take my 12 1/2 year old daughter to school at 8:00. She also house sits with me and loves animals I live at the Polo fields so if pets are at my place there is plenty of space to walk or if I’m at your house we go on hikes or beach. I have an indoor cat that likes dogs and a pet rat.
About: I have had all type of breed and size dog my entire life which gives me a lot of experience with dogs. I am a huge dog lover and will take care of your dog like my own. I will play with your dog and run with your dog. They will be given my full attention when they are with me. I will make sure they are fed, walked, and tuckered out by the time you pick them up. I do not have a yard, however i am very active and will take your dog on multiple walks/runs a day. I have a very flexible schedule and can come to your house whenever for over night stays or day check-ups. You wont be disappointed if you leave your dogs under my care.
About: I have lots of experience working a variety of animals, since I grew up having to tend to dogs, cats, and birds. I have worked with many dogs whether it was giving them their food/medicine, bathing and grooming, supervising dog play dates, and walking them. I have experience training puppies commands such as sit, stay, down, and basic house/crate training. I have a pretty easy schedule and am available most weekdays and weekends! Thursdays I am available 9am-1pm. Monday - Wednesday; Friday: Available from 9am-5pm Weekends: 9am-8pm I try to keep the area pretty clean so the dogs do not get into anything or eat anything that could be harmful/upset their stomachs I try to be mindful of the space I have and try not to disrupt it and even so, I still like to tidy up to keep the area clean. If a home is carpeted I do like to take the dogs out for potty breaks more frequently so as to avoid the pet going potty inside in places that would be more difficult to clean or remove stains.
About: I’ve 5 years of experience taking care of my dogs. I would give my dog his mediation 5 times a day due to him having horrible seizures. If your dog has any medication to take I will gladly take care of them and be there with them. Send me a text so I can fit in your schedule. Available everyday and anytime. Mostly on weekdays and some weekends. Thank you so much I have a fence all over the house and two wonderful dogs that love to play and have fun! But I would need to see if they get along to see if I can allow that type of service.

Every time my dog saw Adriana coming to the doorstep she would get so excited and not bark (she barked with most people). I knew that I could trust Adriana to watch my dog every time I left for a business trip. Highly recommend!”
