About: I've worked with dogs for nearly a decade: from training search and rescue dogs, to helping out senior pups, to training puppies to become their best selves. I want t make every dog's day great! I work from home, so I am able to be super flexible in heading out and giving your pet a great walk, drop-in, or training session! I do not offer in-home care at this time, but in the future, I have a wonderful fenced yard, and a full room dedicated to wonderful pets.
About: I love dogs and have been raising them for more than 10 years. My relatives and friends usually ask me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I’m available for boarding from 11am to 6pm weekdays and weekend and always available via call/text. Your pet will receive lots of attention and get at least one 30 minutes walk a day. I have a spacious, fenced backyard and a mini poodle to keep your dog company. Dogs are free to roam the house and sleep where they are comfortable.
About: Hello ! I have professional experience working with dogs as a former Jr dog groomer and currently have two dogs of my own. I also have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs as well as basic training and knowledge of overall health due to personal experiences. I currently am not working right now so my schedule is pretty flexible so I’m able to attend, play, and spend time with your fur baby(s) 🐶🐱 I am very good at following directions so if you have a specific instruction on how you’d like me to take care of your baby, I’ll do exactly as I am told.
About: I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know their needs and follow care instructions carefully. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and temperaments. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives plenty of attention and care. I'm patient, reliable, and committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and messages, so they can have peace of mind while they're away. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Because I'm home during the week, pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship. On weekends, my family is also home, so there is always someone available to supervise and care for your pet. This means your pet will have company and attentive care seven days a week, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where pets can relax and feel secure. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs to help pets feel as comfortable as possible. Because I work from home, I can provide regular supervision throughout the day and quickly respond to your pet's needs. I introduce pets to new environments at their own pace and always use secure leashes and safe handling practices during walks. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I grew up on a farm with all different types of indoor and outdoor animals, (and cats and dogs obviously!) so I am a huge animal lover! I am excited to use rover as a way to explore new places and neighborhoods! I am taking a gap semester and slowly traveling around the west coast, and pet sitting is a way for me to make a little money in each place I stop in. (California for now!) I would love to spend my time seeing new pets and exploring local parts of the cities I stop in! In your home, I promise to be very respectful of your space and your pets. I will do my best to get on the same level as your pets; if they want to play I will play, but if they are skittish I will be patient and give them space. I am very punctual, I hate being late for walks or mealtimes for animals. I also don't mind cleaning up after your pet if they shed or make any sort of mess!
About: My background includes a lifetime of multi-pet experience, from growing up with dogs and cats, years of trusted pet-sitting for family members, and being a pet parent raising my own dog and cat for the last six (6) years. I'm experienced in managing the delicate needs of kittens and providing the gentle care required for senior dogs. Whether your pet needs a walk or a comforting check-in, I am happy to lend a helping hand to keep them safe, happy, and relaxed while you are away. I currently have a four (4) day work week, allowing me provide drop in visits and walks for your pet on a predictable schedule Friday-Sundays. Whether you may be travelling or need an extra helping hand, I'm happy to step in! Your trust, your pets safety and the security of your home are my highest priorities. During every drop-in visit and walk, I ensure all doors are secured upon entering and leaving, maintain strict leash safety outdoors by avoiding distractions (reactive dog owner!), and provide photo updates for your peace of mind.
“Julie is amazing with my dogs! She took great care of them and provided plenty of feedback and lots of pictures during their walk. My older dog was skittish with her at first, but Julie took time to patiently sit with her and built trust. Now, both of my dogs look forward to seeing her every day. Very reliable and communicative, I will be using your services whenever I can!”
“Merissa is great with my senior dogs! One of my dogs injured himself and is on bedrest. She made herself available for a phone call so that I could update her on his status and she been very flexible to accommodate our new needs.”
About: I've taken care of three cats since I was 10 and one dog for a short time. Been responsible for vet visits, bathing and feedings. I currently work till 4pm M-F so I'm looking forward to spending my afternoons interacting with your pets! Weekdays after 4pm and anytime on Saturday's and Sundays! I will follow any feeding, bathing, walking, etc. schedule provided by and in clients home. I can also help with crate or any additional trainings needed.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I know every pet has unique needs, so I carefully follow each owner’s instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, allergies, medications, approved treats, exercise needs, and any special care your pet requires. I also provide light grooming, such as brushing, wiping paws, and basic coat care when requested. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and compassionate care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have an open schedule, I’m available to take care of your pets from morning till evening, overnight or multiple nights, I can board or go to your home to board. I follow home owners instructions or requests, if there’s none I keep your pet company all day, I’ll start by making sure your pets are familiar with me, depending on your pets behavior I’ll prepare food, snacks, water, snacks, bath (if needed),walks every 2-4 hours, playtime with toys, crating if necessary, and helping pets fall asleep.
About: I have 20 years of taking care of cats. I own two cats at once for 15 years. Now I have one cat. I love dogs too, but I only walked dogs at the volunteer shelter. But don't worry I will take care of your pet to the best of my ability. I'm unemployed now so I have an open daily schedule. I can take care of your pet in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I have a flexible schedule. I will take your pet for potty walks and play with them. I will feed them the food you provide. I will watch out for their safety.
About: What sets me apart is the hands-on experience and dedication I’ve developed as a first-time dog owner. I successfully crate-trained my Westie from the ground up and have walked her every single day for the past 5 years without fail. I’ve also taught her 10 different tricks through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable following a dog’s individual routine and needs, including preparing and cooking specific meals based on my dog’s diet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, schedule, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. I may be a first-time owner, but I’ve spent 5 years learning, training, and building a strong bond with my dog—and I’d bring that same patience, reliability, and attention to detail to caring for your dog. I work full-time as a bartender, but my shifts vary, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during both the day and evening depending on my work schedule. I’m used to making sure my dog’s needs come first and adjusting her routine around my work schedule. For example, if I work a morning shift, I make sure she gets let outside, has a quick walk, and gets her first meal before I leave. When I get home, I give her a longer walk, plenty of attention. If I work a night shift, I’ll spend more time with her beforehand by taking her on a longer walk, playing with her, and giving her a small meal before I leave. I can work my schedule around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the exercise, companionship, and care they need. I’m comfortable with flexible or recurring schedules and will do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, active, and on their normal routine. I have a fenced-in backyard, crate, playpens, multiple leashes, treats, a whistle, paw cleaners, and dog wipes, so I’m prepared for walks, playtime, cleanup, and everyday care. I also have a very friendly dog who loves to play and make new friends. If your pet is comfortable around other dogs, they can have a fun playmate and some extra companionship. I always make sure introductions are done safely and at the pet’s own pace. I’m happy to follow each pet’s specific routine, including their feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any house rules their owner provides. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family while giving their owners peace of mind.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garden Grove
We met Thuy yesterday and had a great experience. She was kind, professional, and incredibly sweet with my dog, Jacques! You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. My dog warmed up to her quickly, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care. I'm so glad we found her and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker. 🐾💕
Emylie did the best job walking our baby every day for 3 weeks! She is so attentive and caring and we felt very reassured with her care/professionalism. She is also a great communicator and kept us updated with all things related to his walks, schedules, etc. Thank you so much Emylie!! We appreciate you :)
Lily was the first person I booked on Rover and I’ve been using her since. You can trust that she’ll be patient and loving toward your pups which gives peace of mind, something that is much needed when being away. She keeps you updated with photos and details and is prompt with communication. So glad to have found her, she is truly a gem!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about my dog walker! She took such great care of my dog and was incredibly patient and understanding with him. He is very skittish and isn’t the easiest dog to win over, so gaining his trust takes time and a lot of patience. I truly appreciate that she allowed him to warm up to her at his own pace and never rushed the process. It was so reassuring to see him become more comfortable with her and know that he felt safe and cared for. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. I will absolutely be recommending her to my friends and family, and I will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and patient to care for their furry family member! ❤️🐾
Ivi has been great with my dog, Rocky. She’s very communicative and shares a lot of updates about Rocky during their walk. I appreciate her flexibility and open communication! Rocky can be a bit of a handful (very energetic) and she’s been able to manage walking him while handling a stroller.
Silvi was absolutely wonderful with our dog Ellie! She took such great care of her and made sure Ellie felt comfortable, loved, and well looked after the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Ellie was in such caring hands. We truly appreciate the attention, kindness, and responsibility Silvi showed, and we would happily book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾💛
