About: Hello! I am a pet mom of my sweet girl Abby for 14 years. I have grown up with animals my whole life including being around horses,other farm animals,cats,and dogs. I have a senior dog of my own so I have knowledge in handling puppies to seniors I am currently a college student with a lot of time on her hands and wanting a little extra money. Nothing excites me more than meeting a new friend and taking care of your fur baby! I will always have your pets wellbeing in mind first before anything. I am also very respectful of home space and living areas and will take care of it.
About: Hi! I recently graduated from UCSB and moved back home, where I live with my own one-year-old Goldendoodle Willow (who I’ve raised since she was 8 weeks old) and my mom’s two dogs—a sweet Goldendoodle and a Husky. All three love hanging with new dogs of all sizes! I’ve always been an animal lover and truly enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them like part of the family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns I’d love to help! Because I have a puppy at home, I have managed my schedule around her needs and can do the same for your pups! Since moving home I have all the free time working remote, I’d love to hangout with your dogs and I know my dogs would too! Our yard is fully fenced in with grass and lots of area to run. We have a separate pool area that’s closed off, but if your dog likes to swim that can be arranged as well! Our home is one story and I will be with the dogs the whole time.
“This review is overdue! We first booked Shellby a few months back on very short notice. It was a very last-minute request, and our usual walker/sitter was unavailable. I contacted Shellby and she got back to me very quickly. I was worried because I usually do a "meet and greet" any time we have a new sitter, but in this instance, it wasn't an option. Shelby was an excellent communicator leading up to her walking/feeding my dogs, and put my mind at ease. My dogs did great with her and the care they received was excellent. I've since rebooked Shellby and plan to do so again. I'm so glad I've found this great new dog walker. Definitely recommend her services!”
“Thank you again Dahlia for spending some extra time with Diesel today on his walk! He slept for hours when he got back. I love that he gets so excited to see you and forgets all about me! He says he can’t wait for his next one ☺️”
“Doug was seriously a lifesaver for our dog Tony while we went on vacation! We were able to fully relax knowing Doug had taken on all the responsibilities for Tony! He was always on time for his walks. We learned from Doug about training and tricks for Tony! He wrote very detailed reports every single day that we were excited to read!! Doug was reliable, friendly, and thoughtful during the whole time we were gone with phenomenal communication! Doug is a fantastic dog walker that we can fully trust and feel comfortable while we were away! We highly recommend Doug for all your animal’s needs ! We will be requesting Doug again and again!”
“I can't thank Sarah enough for taking such great care of Luna while I was away. Luna was happy, well-exercised, and even seemed calmer when I returned. Sarah kept me updated with photos and notes, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend Sarah’s services!”
About: Hello, this is Joey! I have always had a fondness for dogs throughout my life. I have helped my extended family with watching their elderly dog, who has had a lot of problems with most people but she really likes me. I make sure to approach all pets with kindness and acceptance. Regardless of the challenge, I want to help out pets and seeing dig smiles fills me with joy! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. Whenever I am needs, I will do my best to accommodate their wishes. As long as you give me some ample time, I will make my schedule work for you! I live with my dog in my apartment but my husband and I always make sure to take her out for walks, play with her, and take her to the dog park to help keep her fit. For my extended family’s elderly dog, I make sure to watch her closely, give her easy to eat snacks, and take her into the backyard to get some exercise. I never rush her and make sure to wait for however long she need.
“Shea has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Harley. From the very beginning, her communication has been excellent, she provides detailed updates after every walk along with photos, which I genuinely look forward to reading each day. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. Harley is very comfortable with her, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. Shea goes above and beyond, not only with her attentiveness and reliability, but also through thoughtful gestures like the personalized magnet she made for Harley, which was such a nice surprise. I’m incredibly grateful we found her and will definitely be working with her again. I highly recommend Shea to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walker.”
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have 2 cats. One of my cats is a senior (almost 20 years old) so I do have experience caring for a senior pet. I love animals and will treat yours as my own! I would prefer dogs who are kid friendly. About this sitter: My name is Tessa and I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3. I love animals and have 2 cats myself! I would love to make your dog a part of our family for the day or longer! Regarding my cats: I am able to keep my cats separate from your dog, if you are concerned about that. I think it’s best to keep them separate to avoid any issues. I put my cats in my primary bedroom upstairs along with all their stuff and they are perfectly fine! But if your dog is cat friendly, I don’t mind letting them interact a bit. My senior cat is just a little freaked out by high energy dogs but she calms down after a bit. My younger cat is probably more open to dogs, she’s very friendly and mellow. Either way, I’m happy to accommodate! I drop my 3 kids off at school Monday-Friday and I am done with that around 8:30am. I pick up my youngest at 1:40 and my middle child at 3pm. So I will have about 4 hours each day until pick up my youngest. I am also available most weekends. Just message me and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. We live in a 4 bedroom condo and I have a fenced in patio and plenty of walking space throughout my neighborhood. Your dogs will feel safe and right at home! I will also make sure that your dogs are safe and cared your dog is in my home!
About: I am a passionate animal lover with experience walking dogs and pet sitting in my neighborhood during breaks from school. I’ve cared for animals of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well-loved. I always try to treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, or a little extra care, I’m excited to help meet their needs and keep their tails wagging! I'm a recently graduated English major from Chapman University and currently working on obtaining my Master’s degree from USC. My current routine leaves plenty of time open to take care of furry friends and give them the attention and love they need. I have one an indoor cat named Tigger who loves to play, sleep, and cuddle. Every day I ensure that she gets the care she needs by feeding her regularly, cleaning her litter box, and setting aside time each day to play with her and keep her active. I’m always attentive to a pets needs and make sure they’re comfortable and happy in my home
“Makenna is a great dependable pet sitter and her love of dogs really shows!! She is communicative, reliable and she cared for our dog like her own. Our dog is currently taking medication that makes her extremely thirsty and urinate frequently and Makenna was on top of her care. We’ve had both good and bad experiences with rover and this was a great experience. Thank you Makenna we will definitely reach out again the next time we need care for Penny.”
“First time using Rover and I’m really pleased with the service! Molly was great from the meet and greet to the actual dog walking service for our pup Scottie. Will definitely be booking with Molly again!”
“Lauren has walked our boy Bruno for a few weeks now, she is on time, happy to be with our dog and sends photos!! She is a great dog walker and Bruno is so excited to see her when she comes!!”
“2nd time booking with Bella but this time I booked very last minute. Thank goodness she was pretty flexible! My pup has a high energy levels so these walks help a whole lot to tire him out. Bella is very sweet and nice—10/10 recommend.”
About: My family took in its first dog when I was in elementary school. I named, took care of, and fell in love with Bella, a Coton de Tulear. She is no longer with us but I am now looking after a pug, who as I type this is chasing butterflies in the backyard. She and I love to go on walks, pick up Puppuccinos, and run around at the dog park. She doesn’t leave my side when I get to be home! Rover has given me the opportunity to fall in love with plenty of dogs and I hope to be given the opportunity to look after yours! I have multiple part-time jobs so I get to make my schedule for the most part! I have a weekly walk with a Rover dog but the rest is pickup work! My head is always on a swivel when I’m with an animal, looking for coyotes or anything on the floor that could pose danger to your animal.

Rylan, thank you so much for walking Bruno, he had a wonderful time! Bruno says, "Thanks for letting me stop and snuffle, that's the best part of walking!" I also appreciate that Rylan started walking Bruno a little early, since Bruno and I arrived at the park a little early. 😎👍🏻
Mia's reliability in addition to her care for my Calamity Grace gave me such confidence when I was away. She also was a blessing for my elderly Mom, who is unable to exercise my girl. My mom did insist on her skipping a day, which I understand. Please give her the pay for that day.
Nao did an amazing job walking our dog, Morty. She was prompt with great communication and she was able to take our request on short notice around the holidays. Morty really liked her and we got so many cute photos of the walk. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nao again!
Sabrina did a great job taking out my Milo. The communication with her was amazing and she often sent me pictures of what he was doing. Sabrina also went above and beyond her Duty by making sure Milo had water in its bowl and making sure that she communicated with me efficiently. I will definitely be booking her again.
One word to describe Alejandro's services: PHENOMENAL! I looked for someone who was very close to me distance-wise and within my budget within a few days from a trip due to last min change in plans for care for my dogs. I ultimately decided to go with Alejandro after reviewing his photos and profile. What caught my attention was how you could tell just by looking at the photos that he really cared about his pets, which was extremely important to me. The vibes I got was, "this is a dog dad", which to me meant that they were going to care for my pets as if they were my children. Very important. Alejandro responded quickly, and we scheduled an in-person meeting for him to meet my boys. I was really impressed by his professionalism and the questions he asked me to better understand my situation. I could tell he took his role seriously, and it made me feel even more confident in his ability to care for my boys. We scheduled one more in-person meeting for him to tour my home and property so that I could show him the usual routes. I had left Alejandro with detailed pet instructions as he also agreed to feed my dogs aside from walking them and give them their treats as scheduled, but I had also advised him I would not have internet access while I was away. He assured me he would still provide updates despite the lack of internet so I could read them when I was able to reconnect with the world again. I was thoroughly pleased with the reports he provided and the photos of my babies. The first report, off the bat, made me instantly feel relieved because I knew I had made the best choice by selecting Alejandro as the person to work with. I could tell from the report and the photos that my boys were having the time of their life experiencing walks differently and with someone who really cared about them. I absolutely will go with Alejandro again when I need to utilize his services and cannot rave enough about him. You will not regret it. Best dog dad in the world!
