“Lilliana was absolutely amazing! Very communicative as she sent me pictures and updates every day. My pups loved her and she went out of her way to make sure they were well taken care of while we were gone. I 10/10 will be requesting her in the future”
About: I’ve been dog sitting before, during college, and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I’m like Mary Poppins but for dogs ☺️ Going on 5+ years on Rover! My start began with my childhood pet, college friend’s pups, or my neighbor’s dogs. I have experience dog walking, giving medication via pills, and work on skills and behavioral issues with dogs and puppies. Or, just watching a movie and having cuddle time!! I love it all! I’m a recent college grad. I work from home, but Rover is top priority- I have maximum availability and flexibility to fit your needs. I can work long term with you or short. I’m flexible! **Please be mindful to regard safety procedures and allow more than 24 hrs before requesting services so I can meet your pet and see if we are a good fit.** I can NOT sit for you if we do not meet first. Please don’t ask the day before, for the safety of your pet and myself. I will not respond if you don’t mindfully read the safety guidelines for Rover. The holidays book fast so message me ASAP! ☺️ Safety is always my priority. Your dog’s comfort is so important. My goal is to leave your place looking “better than I found it”. I am tidy! I live in a spacious house with an unfenced backyard area. I do not have a crate. My dog Henny loves to play with others and keeps to himself when he’s tuckered out. He’s great making friends and being a patient teacher to young/timid dogs. He can come with me to play with your pup, but he is happy to stay home too.
“Alyssa did a great job taking care of our pups! She was very responsive and made sure they got the attention they needed while we were gone. I hope Alyssa is available next time we go out of town.”
“Rebecca is the best. She is consistent, trustworthy, compassionate, kind, and I could go on. She treats my Angel like she’s her own. I never have to worry about Angel, and that means the world to me.”
“I was very lucky to find Katie last minute and I’m so glad I did! She is very kind and very thorough when it came to watching our pets while away. Love that she kept an open line of communication and that I felt she trustworthy and responsible. I would definitely hire her again in the future!!!”
About: I'm frequently doing outdoor activities with my dogs. I've had dogs for over 15 years. Bolt I found in the side of the road and he’s been a wonderful addition to the pack (I’m a foster failure 🤷🏼♀️)! Rollo I met at a dog path with his former owner and I happily took him in when I was asked to adopt him. If your dog is a runner, so am I! We are a very active group, but are happy to lay around and snuggle if that’s your dog’s preference too. I am flexibly available. I am a military Officer. I've had great luck securing care for Rollo and Bolt in this app and just want to share that with others as well. My goal is to make sure your dog is just as happy with me as he or she is with you because that’s what I want for my two babies when I go away. Shoot me a message, and let's make a date to introduce our dogs! I am currently searching for new employment, and thought I’d activate my account again for extra cash. I am always doing things with my two dogs - dog parks, walks, outdoor play/lounging, chicken tending, gardening and more! I love doing everything I can with my dogs. I have ten acres with a run attached to a tree in my back yard. There’s a sprinkler for your dog to play in, if that’s their thing - and because we have chickens here, you’ll fur-baby will also get a raw fresh egg with breakfast if you approve. I am happy to care for senior dogs as long as they appear happy and aren’t 💩ing everywhere in my house.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since early childhood. Between walking, feeding, and playing, I’ve cared for pups since I can remember. I have two mix breed babies at home. I am a writer with an 11 year old child. So taking your pets for a walk would be a nice break in my day! I have a large yard, and two medium sized fur dogs that love to play. I can also keep them separate if need be or even crate.
“Madolyn was amazing. I highly recommend her as sitter. I have a very skittish dog that was her best friend by the second day. I was not available so she sent a text to my husband every morning giving him a detailed update. I will definitely be using her again and again. 5 stars from this client.”
About: My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal deserves patience, love, or just some comforting company. I am more than happy to take care of your furry friend(s) all day on weekends or walk them M-F after 5pm. Please message me for more detailed availability if needed. I have been trained with the SPCA in California to handle large and small dogs. Caring for pets brings me joy, and I treat each one as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less.
“My picky 8 year old dog loves Alyssa, who affectionately gives great belly rubs. My almost 1 year old pup needs more frequent visits, and Alyssa was wonderfully punctual. I'm grateful to have found such care, and we are booking again!”

Rachel was wonderful! From the first initial meet to see the cats through every visit, she was incredible. She loved on them and treated them like her own! She was very responsive anytime I had a questions and left great notes and pictures during the week. I look forward to our next vacation when we can use her again. She did wonderful dealing with our grumpy old cay who needed insulin too so don't be hesitant if you have a pet that needs meds. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.
