“I am so grateful to Monique, she did such a great job helping to take care of our Yoyo while we were out of town. My dog is not always easy but took right to Monique. She kept me updated and sent me photos. Especially when you are out of town it is so important to know someone is taking such good care of your pet. I will definitely be reaching out to Monique again and appreciate her so much.”
“Bernice was able to come very last minute and accommodate a walk with my girl stella! Stella was tired after her walk and got along well with my sweet girl! Will def keep her as a regular :)”

“Ra-chel was a trooper trying to find our place! She was excited to walk Benji and Benji was excited to be walked by her! She’s a pet parent so she gave him extra love. Would recommend and book with her again!”

“Tara is a top tier dog walker. She had so much patience with my shy, stranger-averse dog and took extra time to build trust. Tara left detailed rover cards for each walk and took plenty of photos.”

About: From owning pets to becoming a pet groomer/vet assistant, caring for animals has always been an important part of my life. My experience has left me with 5 years worth of animal knowledge when it comes to care and medication regimens. I have full availability and reliable transportation to come to your pet and assist them at home, or take them to mine and love them as my very own. My home is all pet friendly. With close vicinity to local parks, your pet will have many options including a fenced back yard and cozy living space.

About: I believe that it is important to adapt to each dog's individual personality and preferences when caring for them. I have had experience all my life with my own, and family, pets of all shapes and sizes and can tell you for sure, one size does not fit all lol. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats so I'm confident in my ability to handle anything they throw at me. I'd love to get to know your pet as well :) I work from home so I am highly flexible and can fit your pet in my day at any time for your requested activities, or lack thereof haha I have pets at home, so if your pet prefers not making friends at this time, I can drop by or stay with your pet at their home!

About: I've always had family pets my whole life, from gerbils to pigs. I have a dog and a cat and they are my bestest friends! I taught my dog when I got him to walk on a leash, sit, stay, ignore squirrels and other animals, speak, lay down, hugs. He's sweet and a good excitable boy. I have experience dressing pet wounds and feeding medications. All animals deserve respect and patience no matter their size or temperament. I have a flexible schedule and am a reliable sitter. My availability is quite open so I have plenty of time and energy to love and care for your precious animals. I can assure you I will be respectful of your home and your beloved pets while making drop in visits. It is your space and I am just a guest making sure to honor the pets in their space.

About: Hi! I’m Lissie, a UCSD graduate and incoming veterinary student at Western University of Health Sciences this August 🐾🩺 I have two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, from energetic, healthy pups to seniors or pets requiring injections, oral medications, or fluid administration. If your pet has special medical needs, you can feel confident they’re in knowledgeable and capable hands. Beyond my clinical experience, I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand animal behavior and always prioritize safety, patience, and respecting their boundaries. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, structure, or a calm presence, I adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them like my own ❤️
“Vanessa is great with my 9month old dog and my dog adores her. I have never seen my dog warm up to someone so quickly. I can tell that she genuinely has a huge heart for dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I used to love volunteering at animal shelters then cared for my Doberman. Also would help my brother by watching his Rottweiler and husky from time to time. I only work from about 7am to 12pm during the week and home the weekends so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. There is lots of grass areas in my neighborhood and love playing with animals. If your pet is crate trained I have no problem following the rules you have in place for your pets. I also have the space available for a crate or anything your pet may need.
About: I used to volunteer at the animal shelter and then I ended up working there. I have lived with animals my whole life and I love every single one of them. While working at the animal shelter I socialized with many different cats and dogs. I gave vaccines and helped in the clinic. I also worked at a dog grooming place for about 6 months. I will treat your animals like I would treat my animals. They will be well fed, loved, exercised, and respected. I hope to be able to meet you as well as your furry family members. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I work full time as a caregiver normally from 2-10pm but sometimes I work 6am-2pm. We have a friendly dog in our home and a large backyard. I have a fenced backyard and a friendly dog that your animal can play with. I will hang out with them until work and then they will be free to roam and play.
About: I am very happy working with animals, taking care of them, walking, feeding, cleaning for them, the whole package. I have taken care of animals my whole life, and I want pets to feel happy when they are on walks, or when their owners leave. I am currently working part-time due to college. The money that I earn it will go towards college expenses to pay for my vet tech supplies. I am usually available Monday after 12:30pm Tuesday after 5pm Wednesday all day Thursday after 1pm Friday/Saturday/Sunday all day. I give them loves, lots of it. I clean after them if they are not potty trained and take them to me yard every 1 hour.

About: Being a pet parent myself, I get that leaving them behind while still wanting to enjoy your time can be an internal conflict. Trust I will be taking all the photos and videos needed or wanted and communicating throughout the stay and outside of it to make sure you are able to enjoy your time away. I’m open and available to any and all requests, even those last minute ones with content communication. I will do my best to make any outside requests happen Pets aren’t just pets, they are family. So yes I am I guest in the home and will treat it with respect, but I will be treating the animals as family making sure they as well feel comfortable with me.

About: I currently have 3 cats and I’ve had two dogs of my own in the past who I adopted and loved deeply, and they taught me the importance of patience, routine, and gentle care. I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities and truly enjoy building trust with each pet. I work full time fully remote during the week which gives me flexibility for lots of day time loves and pets and letting outside. I also love to go on walks on my hour lunch and long walks at mission beach during the weekend! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle care, close supervision, and regular updates with photos and messages so you always feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for!
“Monique is wonderful with my puppy! She is kind, patient and dependable. Her schedule is very available and flexible as well which is an added bonus. She communicates freely and always leaves detailed messages and at least 3 photos after every walk with my puppy. Also she puts her clients’ needs first and asks if there’s anything else needed before she’s done for the booking. Definitely got lucky finding her.”


About: I have 5 pets of my own: longest has been 15 years. I care for my older blind dog. I’ve dog sat from weekends to 3 weeks at a time. I’m currently a full time student & a part time worker but I always find time throughout my days to play & give attention to all 6 of my pets. I feed them, take them out to use the restroom, or walk depending on time & area. I try to play with them when I can. Also, sometimes just lay & cuddle with them.
Encanto dog parents share their Rover experiences
Katherine was communicative, reliable, and went the extra mile. I could tell by the walk video that Raya was happy and felt very comfortable with her. She even let us know it was really windy and made sure everything in our yard was secure. Katherine is also just one of those good humans that you know is treating your dog with love and care. We won’t hesitate to use her again.

Ashli is amazing!! She went far and above in all areas that make the person caring for your fur baby great. Always on time, super prompt and responsive communication, flexible with scheduling ..and she is our pibbles new best friend. 😍 I could not more highly recommend her if I tried too. Thx Ashli!!!
Hannah is a kind and caring dog walker. Not only did Hannah take good care of my brother's Lab Bailey, she was instrumental in getting Bailey placed in a good foster home while my brother recovers from his recent illness. I would not hesitate to use Hannah's services again!
Stephanie has been an amazing dog walker/companion for my pup while I’m at work. She’s been walking my baby Nahua consistently for about a month now. When I first found her on Rover she was kind enough to take time out of her day for a meet and greet . My baby is usually very apprehensive to meet people and does not trust easily. But after only 1 walk she now gets excited to see her. Stephanie has an electric and upbeat energy about her. She responds promptly, makes sure to keep me updated with multiple photos and detailed updates about their walks together . She is consistent, reliable, dedicated and goes above and beyond to care for my pup. More often that not she even extends the walk to give my baby more time outdoors. I would highly recommend her to care for your four legged children 🦮🐾. I hope Stephanie can continue to pencil us in for her services for a long time to come.

I am so grateful to Monique, she did such a great job helping to take care of our Yoyo while we were out of town. My dog is not always easy but took right to Monique. She kept me updated and sent me photos. Especially when you are out of town it is so important to know someone is taking such good care of your pet. I will definitely be reaching out to Monique again and appreciate her so much.
