About: While I specialize in cat sitting and absolutely adore caring for feline companions, I'm also happy to help with dog sitting for friendly, well-trained pups. Though I'm newer to dog care, I'm patient, attentive, and eager to provide a safe, calm environment for dogs who are easygoing and enjoy a relaxed routine. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and making sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. My heart is with cats, but I'm always happy to give well-mannered dogs the love and attention they deserve too! I'm currently open and flexible with my schedule, so I'm happy to work around your pet's unique needs whether it's regular visits or last-minute plans. Your pet's comfort and routine always come first. As a proud cat mom, I care for my cats with a lot of love, patience, and attention to detail. Each of them has their own personality and needs, so I make sure their routines are consistent, their environment feels safe, and they get both playtime and quiet comfort. From feeding and litter box cleaning to brushing and cozy cuddle time, I treat them like family because to me, they are.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I currently have two of my own. I’m very familiar with the puppy phase and senior phase! I’ve house sat for two dogs of my own and I like to make sure we get our walks in as well as some cuddle and affection! It’s a treat for myself and them! I’m currently working part time, but that doesn’t mean my schedule isn’t open! I’m here whenever you need me! I pretty much have open availability from Monday-Sunday, especially in the mornings and evenings! Having dogs and cats is something I’m familiar with and comfortable. There isn’t an experience I’ve had where it’s been difficult! I’m a lover of animals I’ve got a huge soft spot for them and I could just give them all the love in the world. I honestly treat them as if they are my very own animals. When it comes to care, you can never be too careful and I truly take that to heart! I’ll do whatever I can to ensure both client and pets are well satisfied!
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs since I was just born. I had one cat and one dog growing up both for 18 years and I currently have one cat that is 6 years old with a minor disability. My roommate has three cats. I have experience with behavior training, feedings, vet, appointment, walks, potty training, and recognizing emergencies that need immediate attention. I make my cats wellbeing a priority. They get a morning and an evening walk as well as the ability to go in and out as they please. They get wet food at the same time every day in the evening and dry food available to them always. They also get treats for behavior training and to better their tricks. I am available to complete any and all services needed to take care of your pet, whether that be in my place of residence or yours.

About: With years of experience in private and public pet boarding, I strive to uphold YOUR standard of love and care for your furry family member(s) while you’re away. While working part time at a daycare, coming home to care for my furry family members is a full time job. Although no two pets are the exact same in their care, I can assist in helping them stick to their regular routines while you’re away. Caring for pets in a clients home will be done in the same manner as they care for them while they are home. I intend to maintain regular boundaries and be consistent with rules that have already been implemented.
“We all appreciate Coco so much! She is so flexible and easy going. She is willing to do what makes our Roxy happy. We left for the weekend and I didn't notice we were low on treats. (I forgot to tell Coco that Roxy gets one after the walk.) Coco is so in tune with dogs that she figured out Roxy was missing something, and what it was! She asked to bring some extras over so that Roxy would be sure to be happy for the day. Treats are just little extras, and not necessary, but it was SOOO SWEET that Coco wanted Roxy to be happy. You're the BEST!”
About: I am a licensed RVT and CPR certified. I have been in the field about 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, pocket pets and even some livestock. I am a full time employee for UC Davis. I get off work around 6 and have Thursday-Saturday off with flexible pet sitting availability on Sunday I would ensure I wear clean clothes over every time to limit any unwanted illness. With my job specifically I don't deal with sick animals so that won't be an issue. I am also used to placing animal in crates and potty walks.
About: Hi there! I’m Jenna and I have been around animals all of my life. I have been house sitting/ animal sitting for 10 years now. I can take care of dogs of any breed, cats, horses, goats etc. I do work full time, but my partner works from home and they are able to provide care when i am at work. We can accommodate special requests I am in an apartment on the 1st floor. We have a dog park, and a lot of grassy areas nearby. I have a camera set up in my living room, that allows me to check on the animal throughout the day. We also have extra toys and treats for animals staying with us.
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was five. I have walked the small dogs at once, I can give medication, I can play, I can pet, I can cuddle with them all. I am a teacher. I will be working summer school starting in June. I have a short 4 hour day. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet. In July I will have a lot of free time. I can't care for your pet at my condo, as I don't have a yard and I rent. I can come to your place and stay or visit your pet at your place and then go for walks/have outside time there.
About: Hi there! I have 2 years of pet-sitting experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. From zoomies to cuddle sessions, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I treat each fur baby like family, giving them all the belly rubs, playtime, and attention they deserve. My goal? A wagging tail by the end of every visit! I’m home for the summer with a flexible schedule, which means your pet will have my full attention. Whether it’s extra long walks, playtime in the yard, or cozy snuggles, I’ll be there to keep their tails wagging while you focus on your day. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I stick to their routines; feeding, walks, play, and any special care needs. I always give them plenty of love and attention. Think of me as a temporary stand-in best friend for your furry one!

Jazmine T.
“Jasmine would make an awesome pet caregiver. She currently has 3 cats. One was a stray that used to come around their house all the time. She felt bad and adopted him. And he is sooo lucky to now be in such a loving home. She has cat feeders and cameras to keep an eye on their cats when she is not home which is not often because she wants to make sure she is always there for them. She talks with them so lovingly as if they were her children (as loving pet parents should). Any cat would be so lucky to have Jazmine as their cat sitter. 😊”
Serenah A.
“We were incredibly grateful to have Serenah care for our home and our pet babies while we were away. From the very beginning, Serenah treated the responsibility with so much respect—not only for our space but also for the deep trust it takes to leave someone with your beloved animals. As someone who gets anxious about leaving my pets, I can honestly say Serenah brought me so much peace. Their regular updates, thoughtful messages, and the love they showed to my pets truly eased my worries. It meant the world to know that my pets were not just being watched, but genuinely cared for and treated like family. We returned to a spotless home and happy, calm pets. Serenah is kind, responsible, and incredibly respectful—I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them back. Highly, highly recommend.”
Jamiela P.
“Jamiela is the absolute best! She’s watched my cats multiple times now, and each time I come home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for fur babies. They genuinely love her—almost as much as they love me (and that’s saying something!). It’s such a relief knowing they’re in great hands while I’m away. Jamiela is attentive, reliable, and clearly has a special connection with animals. I wouldn’t trust anyone else more with my pets!”

Athena Mae J.
“I only worked with Athena for two weeks to house sit for my dog, Ellie. During this time, I had to make the decision to put Ellie down due to health and behavioral reasons. Athena made this process so much more manageable and comfortable for both myself, and Ellie. She provided tips for making Ellie more comfortable while she was alone, helped me find a way to help Ellie eat more consistently, and took her on daily walks and playtime. Athena even created imprints of my dogs paws and nose to remember her after she passed. I couldn't have asked for a more empathetic and loving dog sitter who Ellie immediately latched onto and looked forward to seeing everyday despite it being such a short time. Thank you again for everything, Athena!”

Gateway Center dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kalina has definitely exceeded my expectations as a dog walker. She is responsible, communicative, and very caring/loving towards my fur babies. At first contact, she responded very quickly and was willing to meet the next day on such short notice. Kalina was very patient with my boy, Ghost, especially when he hid under the bed for 30 mins during the first scheduled walk. She contacted me immediately to figure out next steps. Kalina wanted to respect my dog's comfortability, which I very much appreciated. The same day, Ghost warmed up to her and both of my dogs ended up enjoying the outdoors. Kalina made sure to communicate when she arrived at the house and left, also included pictures for me to see. I can tell that both Ghost and Hazel love her! Kalina did such an amazing job and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help with their fur babies. They are in great hands with her!
I have never used Rover before Emma and I can say she made the experience so easy! She was easy to contact, great with communication/pics, patient with planning and my questions. I would highly recommend her! I feel safe using her services to walk my baby again :-)

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates.
