“Ashlyn was super communicative and good with my dog. I also appreciate her flexibility on change times for a cooler time of day during a heat wave. I will definitely hire her again next time I’m out of town.”
About: I'm a nature lover and natural animal lover—especially doggies. Over the years, I’ve loved and cared for my my own pets: dogs, a rabbit and a cat. Currently, I help care for my aging mom’s little senior Shitzu: weekly walks at a nearby parks, vet care and lite grooming. Comfortable with harness attaching and removal. My own beloved dog passed away a couple of years ago, I still enjoy encounters with other dogs on my daily walks, giving ear rubs and back scratches—dogs just bring me joy. Currently, I’m retired, so my availability is flexible for you and your pet’s needs. I have experience caring for various breeds and size (small to medium size dogs), but I can handle larger senior dogs. I routinely walk at various designated parks and trails in the East Bay. When I pet-sit in my apartment, I inquire about pets regular routine first: walking, feeding, and medication (if necessary). I require they provide their pet’s own: bedding, sleepwear, food and treats and up to date vaccines. I also ask for emergency info: Vet, pet-owner (s), and an alternate contact. Finally, I will send regular updates via text, pictures or videos of your pets outings or stays—live if you like!
“Victoria is a great communicator and did a fantastic job. My puppy still has a lot to learn and loose leash walking can be a lot of work. I really appreciate that Victoria was patient, understood my puppy's challenges (leash pulling), and worked to help her overcome (changing direction, etc).”
“Irina is great. We set up a pre-meet with her and she was exactly on time and asked good questions about our dog. We departed early in the morning for our trip, and Irina was scheduled to come to the house at about 10 am to take him out for a walk. We were a bit nervous because it was our first time with Irina, but she arrived exactly on time for the dog walk. She checked-in afterward with us and sent a photo as well We think that Irina is excellent and strongly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had experience with a handful of different cats and dogs, from walking to house sitting, I also offer pet photography alongside your service. I am a quick learner, motivated, and would love to take care of your pet. I am in the process of preparing to start animal behavioral college, where I’ll be majoring in animal training. I’m currently on a break from work until the end of August/ early September so I can accommodate to your needs and have lots of time to play with your critters. I have a fenced large open patio and yard, the perfect spot with plenty of space for your fur baby/ies. I can also stay overnight at your house, I’m open, I will always leave your home better than I found it.
“Celeste was great with such short notice too! She helped me out and took Millie on awesome walks for me, she provided feedback and would definitely book her again!”
“Isabella is a very responsible and caring dog person. She has been caring for my pup for 7 months in a variety of ways: day/evening care, walks, and house sitting. What has impressed me most is her ability to build a bond with my people-shy and anxious pup. She is patient and kind, speaks to him in a thoughtful way and shows genuine concern for his well-being. Other skills and traits that Isabella possesses: -reliable and consistent communicator sending updates and reaching out when she has questions -flexibility with regards to scheduling, if need be, she makes adjustments -conscientious in administering my dogs meds and feeding him treats and special food -safety and privacy is top of mind with Isabella and she follows house rules and special med instructions in caring for my dog Last but not least, I have no reservations when going away because I know she will take good care of my home. I highly recommend Isabella to care for anyone's pet, they will love her!”
“Bailey did a wonderful job taking care of our girl Raya for the day and keeping us updated on each visit and walk. This was our first time using Rover to find a sitter and are so grateful that we found Bailey. Raya was certainly happy to have a new friend to go on walks with.”
“Zsa-Zsa is Lucky’s favorite walker and sitter and for good reason. Zsa-Zsa is very loving and I trust her completely with Lucky - whether is for a short walk or for an overnight.”
“Lizzie is wonderful! So cheerful every time we see her and very sensitive to our pups behaviour. She takes him on lovely little strolls in the forest. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, etc. for my neighbors and friends since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of newborn animals and senior animals. I’m currently home for the summer, so I am fully free! I can pop by your house, go on walks, or keep your pet company at home. I will make sure that your pet feels comfortable with me in their home and spend time playing with them or simply keeping them company. I will also love to go on long walks with your dog if requested!
About: I have extensive experience handling rescue animals. I have worked closely with professional trainers with my own dog which has given me more knowledge to apply to pet sitting. Pets always feel safe with me because I keep calm. I work part time as a catering chef. I will be able to schedule my sitting/walking appointments when I am not working in the kitchen. This will allow me to do two things I really care about and enjoy. I have a cat and a dog at my home. When I am doing my sitting work, my wife will be able to take care of the pets at my home. I will care for other people's pets as if they were my own.
About: I give complete care and attention to each critter. They are my priority, and very special to me. I grew up with cats, dogs, geese, rabbits etc... and currently have my own beautiful 11 year old Barbara cat. Taking care of animals brings me so much joy, which I think the critters can pick up on. I take their care seriously and make sure that they and you having everything that is needed. I have a reliable vehicle, am happy to travel and open availability throughout the week and weekend. This is my main source of income, so I am sure to make time for your pets, and make it my top priority. In my home I take the dog for a short walk at least twice a day, and when I am the only one responsible he also gets a long walk each day. My cat gets all the cuddles, brushed, clean her litter twice a day, and fully scrubbed down every other week. She also gets her water changed every day, flea medicine once a month, gabapentin as needed (she's getting a little arthritis), clip her nails as needed and I make sure she has a healthy mix of dry food and occasional wet food.
About: I have always had pets, growing up it was cats and rats, now I have a senior Maltese cutie pie I adopted as a rescue 5 years ago. He is a joy and an honor to care for and has brought so much positivity and goodness into my life. I have dog and cat sat in personal settings, for my family and friends when they were out of town. I am familiar with a variety of dog breeds everything from Dachshunds to Great Danes. I have also cared for dogs and cats in a professional setting as well, the pets of my home healthcare clients. I have helped care for three legged cats, dogs with severe medical conditions, and dogs with high anxiety. It would be an honor to care for your loves! I am currently working as a substitute so I have a flexible schedule. I have a few days a week where I am available all day, and a few days where I am available for the afternoons/early evenings. I am always sure to put your pets needs first and make sure they are happy and comfortable. When I commit to a task I see it through and complete it according to instruction and to the best of my ability, especially when someone else’s welfare is at stake.
About: I love working with pets and working dogs! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. From working, hunting dogs to couch potato’s, I’ve lived and experienced them all! Latest dog experience included owning 2 service dogs: Belgium Mal and GSD with consistent bite work! I intend on spending full-time with your pet/working fur baby. We’ll have scheduled breaks, playtime, potties, etc. to ensure your fur baby comes home without missing a beat! Your fur baby will have 100% of my attention in my secured home. As an experienced owner of 2 working service dogs, I’m happy to ensure your everyday best behaviors are always met!

Ladonna S.
“La Donna would be a great addition to your team as she is a lover of all animals, especially the 4 legged, tail-wagging ones... Her cat "Tyrone" who she had for 15 years, and her dog "Ziggy" who recently passed away were her loves in life and they were spoiled rotten..lol. She also helps care for our mom's dog "Simba", and he appreciates all the love, hugs, walks, and treats she gives to him. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the TLC she'll show the animals as well as the good customer service to the owners.”

Forestland dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle is fantastic! Super communicative and reliable. She has taken such great care of our puppy Mochi! She started with him when he was too young to go on walks and took great care of him during her drop-in visits and potty breaks. When he started going on walks, she helped him with leash confidence and getting used to strangers. I always appreciated the detailed Rover cards & cute pics she took of Mochi. Definitely will book Michelle in the future and highly recommend her for drop-in visits or walks with your pup!
Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so kind to come meet Rosie for a quick meet and greet and Rosie immediately loved her. Laura also accommodated a last minute change and was willing to come for a later walking shift when I found out that my schedule changed. 10/10 working with her! I felt so great knowing that Rosie was with her. Thank you so much Laura. We look forward to next time Rosie needs a walk! ❤️
