“Leslie took great care of my cats! She gave me thorough updates and asked questions when needed, and made good inroads befriending the cats (even my super-shy one). I appreciate you, Leslie!!”

About: Hi, fellow dog lovers! ❤️ I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pup. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves a long walk, prefers a leisurely stroll with lots of sniff breaks, or just needs some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! 🐶 Why choose me? ✨ 15 years of dog experience ✨ Comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities ✨ Safety and your pup’s comfort always come first ✨ Lots of patience, playtime, and cuddles ✨ Reliable communication and updates for pet parents ✨ I treat every dog like they’re my own I want every walk to be more than just exercise—it’s a chance for your pup to get fresh air, enrichment, attention, and a little extra love while you’re away. 🐕💕 I can’t wait to meet your pup and become their favorite part of the day! 🐾 I have open availability, and will always be open about any updated schedule changes. ☺️ Taking care of pups is my full-time job, so I am here when you need me with notice. ☺️ I know all dogs have different temperaments. I would make sure boundaries are respected, and the dog feels comfortable. I will make sure water bowl is filled, go on a walk for potty breaks, and give treats if allowed by owner. 😊

About: I take time to learn each pet’s routine and personality, creating a calm, cozy experience that feels just like home. I’m dependable, follow instructions closely, and treat every animal with the same care and consistency I’d give my own! My availability is completely open and flexible, so I am able to come on over and take care of your pet even in last minute scenarios! I have four cats and a golden retriever of my own and I absolutely adore all of them! Pets, listen up if you’re reading this, I care for them by providing multiple cuddles and belly rubs throughout the day. I take my golden on three walks a day- morning, afternoon, and evening. I feed my cats in the morning and their wet food in the evening, and of course my golden is a little spoiled (very loved) so he gets a special meal cooked for him. He also requires medication twice a day which is another responsibility of mine! Overall, every pet in my household is very loved and I would love to bring that love and care to your pets as well.

“Nathalia took wonderful care of my cat, SunTie! She was very responsible, kind, and attentive, and followed his care instructions carefully. I really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing SunTie was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Nathalia and would be happy to book with her again in the future!”

“Mya is the sweetest and so professional. My mind was at ease knowing she was taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I will definitely be using her in the future. Thank you Mya!”

About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of dogs since I was 10 years old. I trained both of the dogs I was gifted (Labrador/Boxer mix & Pitbull) as well as grooming them. They both mean very much to me and now that they are older and I no longer live in my old house it would be my pleasure to give care to someone else’s pet! I’m currently working part time so the vast majority of the week I’m available and own my own reliable source of transportation. Extremely flexible with my schedule and times. Very good at playing with dogs and other types of animals as well. Will do anything your dog likes and make sure they enjoy having me around!

About: Hi there! I’m Shaifali — a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two friendly pups, Lali and Phoebe. 🐾 I have over 11 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. As a full-time nurse who works nights, I’m available during the day and have a flexible schedule to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. What I offer: • Lots of love, cuddles, and playtime • Safe, fun walks (I love going on long walks and exploring nature trails!) • Experience with administering medications • Knowledge of special diets and health needs (my own dog is on a GI-friendly diet, so I understand how important it is to follow food schedules carefully) Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in good hands. Let’s set up your pup’s next walk or playdate — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐶💛 I currently work full time as a nurse on night shift. I have a lot of flexibility in the day to watch dogs due to working at night! I have 2 friendly dogs Lali and Phoebe in my home. Dogs are leashed at all times when outside. If you have a special diet for your pet please let me know as well as a food schedule! I understand special dietary needs for pets. My dog Phoebe herself is on a low fat GI diet due to chronic pancreatitis.

“Ali took such great care of my boys. She provided thorough updates, sent me lots of pictures, and was very detail oriented looking after my kitties.”

I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care for your pets throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has a unique personality.

About: Hi there! I am so excited to finally be making my pet-sitting official with Rover. I am still new-ish to the area after having moved back in with my parents a little less than a year ago (originally from New Jersey, then moved to California for college and work). I have had the pleasure of taking care of my family dog (Winnie the Cavapoo) since we got her 9 years ago. Hanging out with her is one of my favorite things to do, and she truly makes each day better with every walk we go on and every cuddle we share. I've also gotten to dog-sit for some of my best friends and locals while I was in college, and it really helped me whenever I was missing my Winnie girl! My only hope is to provide you with peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with me! My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible! If there is a time/day on my schedule that looks unavailable, message me and I'll see if I can move things around to make it work (as I share a car with a family member). If you need me to come over and pet-sit at your home, I will respect all the rules you provide me with so you are comfortable with having me in your home while I watch your fur baby. Please let me know in advance to your booking if your pet is allowed on furniture, or in certain areas of your home, and what/where are absolute no-go's, so I can remember to keep them away from those areas. If you use a crate with them, please let me know how you use it with them - if they must be crated the entirety of time while indoors aside from meal and potty times, or if for certain periods of time. If you have a backyard that is fenced and secure, I am comfortable with letting them of their leash (if you permit it) so they have free reign to run around, but if it is not an enclosed space, I am not comfortable letting them off their leash, even if they are trained perfectly - just want to be safe and take all the precautions I can to make sure they are safe while with me!

About: I have been around animals since I was born, and I am currently consistently working with dogs, cats, and horses! I have lots of experience caring for all kinds of animals, and am always flexible to fit the needs of your specific pet. I'm currently a full-time student, so I have a good amount of extra time in the evenings and on the weekends to dedicate to pet care. I would love some guidance as to your pets routine and specific needs so that I can provide the best care possible for them, but otherwise I am dedicated to keeping them calm, comfortable, and happy!

“Awesome Job!!!!!”

“We have never had anyone watch our dogs besides family before Grace. The pups loved going on a walk with her and then again when she came to let them out and spend some time with them. She follows all the instructions we leave and went above and beyond to make sure everything was locked up and waited outside until we were able to arm our systems. We are happy to have someone we can trust when we go out of town now!”

Ashley P.

“Kaileigh was so great to my pups! I was happy to find someone that lived near me. She treated my pups as her own. She kept in contact with me and sent my photo updates, I loved that! I would highly recommend her to watch your furbabies.”

About: I’ve always been a lover and owner of many animals, dogs, ferrets, cats and reptilians. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals as a whole and I always will. I work until 5 on weekdays usually and then I’m free and more than happy to take your buddies out on walks anytime after 5. I’ve always paid attention to body expressions and if I see something I won’t hesitate to do whatever it takes to satisfy their needs. Whether it be a walk or food or potty time, I’ll care for them as they were my own because they deserve the best.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the last 1( years, all over 40lbs. I’m also familiar with dealing with reactive dogs, I was social distancing well before that was a thing 😃. I’ve taken care of my parent’s cat for the last 2 years and I’m comfortable with changing cat litter. I look forward to meeting you and your pups/kittens. I’m currently in school on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, after 5pm. The rest of my schedule is open to provide the service your pet needs. I will always keep safety first, follow all instructions prescribed by the customer, be on-time and provide the service your fur baby needs. In addition, I’m open to any communication that the pet owner requires, phone call, FaceTime or just text message to keep them updated on their pets well-being.

“Eloise was fantastic! She followed all of our instructions, and our dog and cat seemed to genuinely love having her take care of them. She was available for a drop in last minute, and sent over very cute photos and videos. Will definitely be hiring her again!”

Ben J.

“I was so happy to find someone last minute to drop by our house to watch our new puppy! She was so flexible with our time schedule and went above and beyond. I highly recommend booking services with her and will book with her again.”
