About: I have always grown up with pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish…even a reptile or two!) I adopted my pup, Hurley, nearly 15 years ago and it has been one of my joys to have her in my life. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, helping you practice any training you might be working on with your pooch, dispensing medications and other care needs, as well as keeping your furry friend safe if they have any anxieties or other difficult behaviors. While I am not a trainer, I have kept up regular formal, positive reinforcement training with my dog and we’ve also taken lots of fun classes like agility and nose training—meaning I know lots of fun games to keep your pup engaged during my visit. I also have experience caring for ducks and chickens, small reptiles and birds. I am a freelance consultant so my days tend to be pretty flexible. I am generally available throughout the day to care for your pooch. I am an attentive care-giver. I will follow all instructions, ensure your dog is safe in its environment—whether we are walking or playing. I have experience with dogs with medical or other special needs and will always ask about your preferences for care.

About: Animals bring me peace and joy and I just can't help but want to be around them to support them. I have raised dogs and other animals throughout my life. I have had cats, fish, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. Animals are always full of life and hope. I have two dogs now. A mother and daughter. It really shows me how deep animals can feel. I love them. Pet sitting is my priority. I spend 24/7 at home unless I am at the park or running errands. I can devote ample time to pet care. I have a fenced yard and two small dogs. They go for walks, trips to the park, as well as off road fun. Like hiking, kayaking, and trail walks.

“Rachel and Dylan are awesome! They respond quickly. They take great care of our fur babies! I can tell they actually enjoy our dogs and I feel like my dogs are happier when we get home compared to others in the past! We will definitely try to book them when we need our next Rover!!!”

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 2 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

“Taylor is amazing - you can tell how much she loves dogs and my dogs absolutely love her!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, along with hands-on experience volunteering at animal shelters. I also grew up helping my mom run her dog boarding business, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Right now, I’m taking a break from vet tech work, which gives me more time to focus on what I truly love—spending time with dogs! I share my home with two wonderful pups who are the loves of my life. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just providing loving care and attention, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. Every dog is special, and I treat each one like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m taking a break from the vet hospital and am available almost any day. My schedule is very flexible. Let me know what works best for you. Your fluffy friend is safe with me. If you are boarding I have a large house with a big backyard and plenty of toys. I’m always willing to do a meet and greet ahead of time.

About: Hi, I'm Shaylin. I'm a recent grad in the USC area with a flexible schedule and genuine love for dogs — I've pet sat through Rover before and I'm back on the platform for dog walking through mid-May. I'll show up on time, send you photos and updates, and treat your dog like I'd want mine treated — patient on leash, attentive, and happy to match their pace whether that's a sniff-walk or a real workout. I'm traveling internationally starting May 18, so I'm best for clients who need walks in the next few weeks or who are open to a great walker for a defined window. If that works for you, I'd love to meet your pup. I am available to house sit and am happy to stay in your home at night if that makes your animal the most comfortable. I can drop in or go out for a walk throughout the day -- very flexible schedule. I would love to meet you and your animal before the stay if I am house sitting, or dropping in. I am happy to meet your pet the day of for walks. I understand that every animal and home is unique - I would love to be acquainted with your preferences.

About: I have hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to dogs, I have experience handling and caring for cats and small animals, including rodents. Pet care is an important and fulfilling part of my weekly routine. I work a job, so I’m fully available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If there is a change, I will notify you. On the other days, I can provide care between the hours of 7- 10 PM. I make sure to plan my schedule carefully, so both of our schedules align and so I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine... feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and more. I give them as much love and affection as I would my own, always aiming to keep their tails wagging, etc. I treat every home with respect and make sure it stays secure and clean. I also send regular updates and photos to the owners so they can feel at ease, knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: As a compassionate and reliable animal lover with 4 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I am dedicated to providing attentive, trustworthy, and loving care for every pet in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I strive to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable in your absence. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or administering medication, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. With a strong sense of responsibility and a genuine love for animals, I bring peace of mind to pet owners and joyful companionship to their furry friends I currently work a part time job so I am gone during the day for usually about 5 hours at a time, but other than that I am available to care for your furry friends Whether pets are in my home or their own familiar environment, I focus on providing consistent, loving, and attentive care tailored to each animal’s personality and routine.

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working in dog daycare and boarding facilities, along with many years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs — both big and small. What sets me apart is my understanding of dog behavior and emotional needs, especially with reactive, nervous, or anxious dogs. I’m familiar with separation anxiety, leash reactivity, fear-based behaviors, and confidence building. I understand that reactive dogs are not automatically aggressive — they simply need patience, understanding, and proper handling. This is something I connect with personally through my own dog’s journey of overcoming fear and anxiety. Through both professional and personal experience, I’ve developed strong knowledge of dog body language and handling skills. I’m comfortable caring for multiple dogs at once, including large breeds, and I can adapt to different feeding schedules, crate-training routines, and individual care needs. I also have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and care, I strive to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to every pet’s unique personality and needs. I am currently a stay at home dog mom with lots of free time. I understand that life gets crazy suddenly & I am available for same day bookings ! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, triggers, personality, and needs so I can provide care that helps them feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and structured environment. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, especially with nervous or reactive pets, and I always prioritize positive interactions and proper handling techniques. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, medication routines, crate-training preferences, exercise needs, and household rules to help maintain consistency for your pet. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and check-ins so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away, knowing your fur baby is in good hands.

About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide. I keep a calm, clean home and limit the number of pets I board at one time so each pet gets plenty of individual attention. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine, providing a low-stress environment, and keeping you updated with daily photos and check-ins. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — not just watched. Because I work from home full time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship while you’re away. Plenty of outside time and cuddle time! When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I maintain a clean, calm environment and limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives plenty of attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime. Because I work from home full time, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision and companionship. I also provide daily photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining consistency and comfort. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, walks, medications if needed, and any household preferences. I’m respectful of your home and ensure your pet feels safe and relaxed while keeping you updated with photos and detailed check-ins after each visit.

About: I'm a dog lover who's been caring for dogs since I was 10. My first boxer was with me from when she was a puppy, and I handled everything—walks, feeding, playtime, baths, and even taking care of her paws when she got cuts. We later adopted another boxer, and I gave her the same love and attention, including medical care when needed. I really enjoy taking dogs for walks and making sure they’re happy and well-cared for. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, I’d love to help. I work full-time, but during my spare time, I would love to care for your dog. I’m available on weekdays after 6 PM, and I have flexible availability on weekends. I'll take care of your pet in your home, following your instructions to make sure they're comfortable. I’ll keep things clean, respect your space, and keep you updated.

“Super responsive and initiated a meet and greet before walk! Was on time and my dogs love her!!! They will get use to you I promise! Thank you!!”

About: I grew up with a husky dog throughout my entire childhood and I am now a proud cat owner. Huskies can be particularly difficult dogs to walk, and I have been walking them for as long as I can remember. My parents considered our dog as a part of the family and always provided an abundance of love and activity. I have taken the same approach with my cats and I love every moment. I have had my older cat, Iris, for 5 years and I rescued a kitten, Aster, almost 2 months ago. My connection with the pets in my life drives my love for all of the pets that I provide care to. I love puppies and kittens, antics and all. I enjoy walking, hiking, and playing with dogs. Being a cat owner, I have a wonderful time hanging out with cats. Whether they love to play, just want pets, or even take a while to warm up to people, I’m here for it. I am most available Sunday-Thursday. Friday and Saturday can work for specific situations. Sunday: all day Monday: before 5 pm Tuesday: all day Wednesday: before 5 pm Thursday: all day Friday: before 2 pm Saturday: available for house sitting for the right situation. Send me a message and we can discuss if it’s a good fit. I absolute LOVE to play and will be good company for a dog. I am mindful, and will be sure to give them lots of potty breaks. I am also an out doors person so walks are no problem! I approach every cat slowly and allow them to make the first move. Once we break the ice, I love engaging in play with interactive toys or providing pets based off of what the cat wants.
