“Jennifer was awesome with my boy. She was very attentive and was able to meet my dogs needs. Would definitely use her again! Thank you again 🙏🏻”


About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets, caring for family, & friends over the years & I don’t know why I didn’t start this sooner! I have always had different kinds of animals growing up and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I love practicing my trainings skills! I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals & I can’t wait to meet/train yours! I am open to boarding caged/tanked animals as well! Follow on IG! @ kelseyskennels For right now, I am typically available all hours on most weekends making it possible for you to get away for a few days without worrying about your pet baby! I have a fenced yard & a friendly 2yo Rottweiler that will keep your pet(s) company! & a caged chinchilla who is the bestest boy! I have a kennel if needed! I have an extra AirTag I attach to my guest(s) as extra precaution & it is removed before pickup! When home, we are always in the same room as our dog & when we aren’t home (never more than a couple hours) we check our cameras! Any items from home will be returned!

“Naomi was fantastic, going above and beyond for both me and my dog. If nothing else is read on this review, I hope it is clear that I am sincerely so grateful for Naomi's professionalism and attention to detail when taking care of my dog with love. Zyla was so happy on the day to day with Naomi, but what really sets Naomi apart was how she showed up during different circumstances. As a last-minute ask, I asked Naomi if she would be able to check on Zyla during the 4th of July fireworks if she wasn't too busy. Not only did Naomi take time out of her holiday to do an unscheduled visit, she actually sat with Zyla for an extended period of time comforting her through the fireworks. I was so worried about Zyla during the 4th, but Naomi's care helped put me at ease and I was so so grateful. For me, her continued communication was excellent, with regular check-ins to ensure we were aligned on how the care was going and what needed to be done. She texted to see if the walk could be shorter because she noticed the weather would be hard for Zyla to walk in, asked to see if a chewed-up toy could be disposed of -- even throwing it away herself into the community bin so I didn't have to come home to trash in my can.”



About: With over 10 years of experience caring for and walking dogs, I’m a trusted sitter for friends, neighbors, and colleagues. As a student home for the summer, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care for your dog. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine pretty naturally. I currently have a part-time job, but I’m available for pet care responsibilities before 10 a.m. and after 1 p.m. most days. I’m good at managing my time, so I can consistently provide attention, walks, feeding, or whatever else is needed during those hours. I enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I take seriously and genuinely enjoy fitting into my schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure to follow the specific instructions the pet owner provides, such as feeding schedules, medication, exercise needs, and any special preferences or restrictions. For dogs, this usually means regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and engaged. For cats or smaller pets, I focus on creating a calm environment, ensuring clean litter boxes or cages, and offering affection on their terms. If I’m caring for pets at the client’s home, I treat their space with respect, keeping everything clean and secure, and I provide daily updates to the owner so they know their pet is doing well. Overall, my goal is to maintain a routine that makes pets feel safe and loved, whether they’re in my home or theirs.

About: I’ve always had a deep passion for caring for dogs, and from a young age, I’ve made it my mission to learn everything I can about their well-being. Over the years, I’ve cared for senior dogs and understand the extra attention and patience they require. Additionally, I have some experience training dogs, which has given me a solid foundation in understanding canine behavior and using positive reinforcement. My priority is to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and am fully capable of administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to the unique behaviors and preferences of each dog and am always happy to follow any specific instructions or routines you provide. During each visit, I approach every task with calmness, patience, and consistency—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or walks. I also ensure your dog’s environment is clean and comfortable, as I believe in creating a space where both you and your dog feel at ease. Since I'm currently taking my college classes online and am looking for a job, I have a flexible and free schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time throughout the day for your dog. Whether it's taking them for walks, providing playtime, or checking in on thrm regularly, I'm able to accommodate your dog's needs at any time that works best for you! While caring for pets in a client's home I will go the extra mile to ensure safety and security of both the pet and the home. I will give detailed pre-visit communication, making sure to speak about the pets routines, health, and any specific needs. I will also ask about home security details, emergency contacts, and preferences regarding care of the home. I will do safety checks for any potential hazard such as open windows or gates, making sure everything is secure. I will monitor any areas that you'd like off-limits to the pet. I will pay close attention to the pets behavior and their interactions with the environment. I will always lock up after each visit and always be prepared with emergency contact information and knowing where the nearest vet is.

About: As a kid my neighbors would always ask me to watch their houses and care for their pets while they were away and since then I have always loved getting to take care of/hangout with any pets that I can! I have owned a variety of animals from dogs and cats to a chinchilla and a conure! I have a lot of hands on experience caring for animals. I am comfortable administering any medications both oral and topical and I absolutely love cleaning so messes are never a problem! I would love to hangout with your pets and ensure that they are happy and taken care of as if they were my own! My availability is very flexible and I can be available whenever needed. I can’t wait to meet your pets! :) I have very flexible availability and will have plenty of time to care for your animals in any way needed! I am available every day of the week and can accommodate any hours of the day. I will treat your home as if it’s my own. I am very clean and responsible. I have always been trusted to care for people’s homes and would treat your home how I would want someone to treat my own if I was away. I will make sure your pets are cleaned up after as much as I will make them feel loved and cared for!

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 8 years. I enjoy walking, running, playing catch or just simply keeping them company. I especially love senior doggies. I enjoy waking up before the sun rises most days; I am lucky enough to make my own schedule teaching yoga and doing personal training. I’ve been doing pet sitting on the side for family and friends for years and decided to expand my services. My pets have access to be in/out dogs. They all get along very well and have a big yard to roam around while I’m out.

“Stephanie is fantastic! She's incredibly friendly, communicative, flexible, and did a wonderful job with our extra-large breed. I'll definitely rely on her services again!”



“Crystal was great with my dog! She was timely, responsive, and provided excellent dog walking services. I would highly recommend her to others.”


“As someone who gets anxiety leaving my furbaby Teresa helped me to be able to relax as i was out of state. She sent lots of updates and made sure he had plenty of food and water and fulfilled all other requests. We definitely book her again :)”


About: Air Force Veteran working from home! Dogs have been a part of my family since I was 6. I do have a 2 year old, but he loves dogs and is closely monitored. I have had lots of experience caring for both large and small dogs. I spend most of the day at home except for small errands here and there. Right now I have 1 pomchi who loves to meet new dogs and gets along great with them. I can ensure that your dog will feel comfortable here as if it was their own home. I will not be able to accept any aggressive, anxious or timid dogs for my son safety. I have online classes so I usually do school work at night. My schedule is pretty much open during the day. I can always accommodate if possible. Pet parents can provide a schedule for their pets so that I can keep their routine as close as possible. I have 3 parks that are also close.

About: I love dogs and always have since I was little which is why when I got my very first dog I had to name her molly. Having had her for 12 years makes me want to love on dogs more. It’ll be a flexible way of making extra cash for my kids and providing a good life for them while also teaching them responsibility and what it means to help out others. My dog used to stay indoors so she didn’t go off anywhere. When we walked her she was on her leash and sort of didn’t pull but she was a good dog. I will care for your dog as if they were my own

“Alyssa was absolutely fantastic! I was out for 2 weeks and she sent me daily updates with pictures. Very organized, professional, and trustworthy. Followed all of my directions perfectly. This was my first time using Rover and I interviewed several other dog walkers who didnt show up for meetings and were quite flaky. Don’t waste your time with others…hire Alyssa!”

“Sweetest dog walker ever ???”


About: I’ve been a nanny and pet owner for over 15 years. Animals are a central part of my life and I’m constantly seeking ways to support the greater community. I raised a pure bread Doberman that was ACG certified. We went to the best trainers in California for 7 years. I’m a nurturer by nature and am eager to shift the perspective and community of bullied breeds. I’m currently transitioning and looking for my next full time corporate career. I’ve been a talent leader in tech for the past 8 years - taking a pause and getting into some work that fulfills me. We live in the country in Modesto with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. We’ve always had well trained animals in the house, but also love for them to feel a part of the family. We give them the best food, best care and of course the best cuddles. We’ve worked with rescues, less able animals and strict disciplined ones. We cater to whatever the animal needs most.

Keith B.
“Keith is absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment they met, I could tell my pup felt comfortable and safe. Keith is so caring, attentive, and genuinely loves animals—he treated my dog like his own. He kept me updated with photos and little notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. He so excited every time Keith comes by. Highly recommend him to anyone!”


Chloe R.
“Chloe has been caring for dogs for more than 10 years. A neighbor would ask her to walk her Yorkie which I notice this Yorkie barking at young children, but it did not bark at Chloe. This dog look forward to Chloe visits and walks. She has a very calm demeanor. Eventually, the neighbor asked if Chloe could completely care for her dog while recovering from surgery. Chloe was very competent and capable to care for this dog. This dog required a specially prescribed diet. This care would last more than 6 months. After recovering from surgery, this neighbor was very happy of the care Chloe did.”


Kaitlyn H.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Kaiti! She took amazing care of our two pups while we were away, giving them all the love and attention they’re used to (maybe even more!). From regular updates to thoughtful little details, Kaiti went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your dogs like family!”


Leslie L.
“Leslie lovingly took care of our two dogs when we had an out of town obligation. Our standard size goldendoodle had literally been on the edge of death and with the help of a local veterinarian(and Leslie’s care while we were gone) we nursed him back to health. Leslie stayed with him and our mini schnauzer in our home and gave them both loads of love attention (and treats). She also gave our doodle his medicine he needed. Our “sassy” mini schnauzer became friends with her quickly. Throughout our trip Leslie sent photos of our pups as she interacted with them. We could see they were both happy and healthy(and our schnauzer was even pictured laying on Leslie’s lap!). We highly recommend Leslie. She is an absolute animal lover and truly cares about your furry friends! She is punctual and very trustworthy. You should hire her to help with your furry friend’s needs! You won’t regret it!”

Mariam S.
“Mariam is WONDERFUL with pets! For a period of two years (sometimes housesitting when my husband and I were out of town, and sometimes helping with everyday dog responsibilities when our schedules got crazy), she regularly took care of my very sweet but strong-willed and strong-muscled boxer, who could be a bit cranky with other dogs. Like a canine Mary Poppins, Mariam was firm but kind -- she was loving but very much in control, and I trusted her to know how to handle my boxer on walks when he occasionally got growly with a couple neighborhood dogs. I knew that with Mariam in charge, my boxer would get all the exercise he needed, and twice the snuggles. And Mariam also supervised special meals for him, too -- an all raw diet that consisted of raw chicken wings for breakfast, on a special mat that had to be cleaned with care, because of poultry bacteria, and a mixture of ground chicken parts, quinoa, cottage cheese, and vegetables for dinners. It was a pain to mix up all that food, but Mariam did it all. She stayed on top of my dog's medications, too. Mariam is your dog's new best friend. FIVE STARS!!!”
