“After my initial meeting with Ann-Marie I felt very secure with leaving Mia in her hands while I’m at work. Ann-Marie has been walking Mia during the week for a few months now and has proven to be very professional, consistent, responsible, and truly cares about Mia’s well being. I would 100% recommend her to for your pet care needs.”


About: I was born surrounded by feral and inside-bound animals. Taking care of my felines mainly by playing, grooming, and maintaining trust as the most important factor. I've supported other friends' and families dogs and puppies as well, handling unfixed boxers or high energy german shepard mixes to 6 month old puppies. Cleaning up after them, feeding proper portions, and keeping them safe from themselves/others, and the environment. I maintain a flexible week schedule through Monday and Friday that will become more crowded beginning August 18th. I'm an undergraduate student at Chabot College, trying to save up money and help communities in a way I deeply enjoy. 9 am - 9 pm is my daily schedule with housesitting available until you need! With at least a 1 day notice, cancellation at least 1 day prior please. Scheduled walks are completely available, or simple check-ins where I can befriend your kitty or pup! I'm always open for questions of any kind! With my cat, Beans, I've given her spaying medication when necessary, gently and with patience. Keeping the cat box and environment clean is vital to de-stress animals. Being slow with them, allowing them to adjust to me, is the first step I would take with your pet. Any behavioral issues would be important to address first, Im able to give animals their space and complete any business necessary, but give me tips if your fur baby is sensitive. I have access to a vehicle and of you'd allow me, and your pets deeply enjoy it, I'd love to take your pup and maybe brave cat on a joy ride around your home for the breeze and sights. I'm open to doing picture or video/call updates routinely while taking care of your cherished pets!

About: I am very intuitive when it comes to emotions. It is easy for me to read when pups need some grounding, when they need to be taken away to calm down, when they are unwell and what kind of social engagement they like. This is why I get along with 98% of all the animals I've met and why I'm excited to meet some new furry friends! I'm currently looking for a full time job but in the meantime I have an open schedule and I want to use this time to work as many Rover sitter jobs as I can, I can't think of a better part time job to have! When I care for other peoples pets I make sure to ask a core set of important questions to better understand each animals unique needs. I respect life above all else; its very important to me to do the best job I can to keep the living beings under my care happy, safe and healthy. I also like to leave the spaces I stay in cleaner than I found them so I make sure the kitchen and the main living room are orderly and clean.

About: Over the past 12 years, I’ve raised and trained two dogs from just 2 weeks old, giving me hands-on experience in early puppy care and training. I’ve also cared for multiple large-breed dogs in a family home, adapting to different temperaments and routines. Beyond personal care, I’ve rescued several dogs off the street and volunteered at animal shelters—experiences that taught me how to handle a wide range of behaviors with patience and compassion. My deep love for animals and real-world experiences is what I live for. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine right now, as I currently don’t have a job and have open availability. I’m fully available any time from Saturday through Sunday, making it easy for me to accommodate last-minute bookings or extended care needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is pet-proofed, calm, and secure—free of hazards and full of love. I follow any instructions closely, from feeding routines to preferred walking routes, and always give pets the attention they need to feel safe and happy. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel at ease while their owner is away.

“Elissa overall was outstanding. First time using the rover app. I was a little nervous. And not sure how it all worked. Elissa communicated very well. Sent me photos. Will definitely book Elissa again.”


“My husband and I have been looking for a new walker and this was our first time working with Katie. She is communicative and also very understanding of our needs. Kiki can be a little too much when meeting others for the first time, but Katie handled her behaviors well! Thank you again :)”


“Nick was engaging and attentive with my two dogs. I have two large dogs, with different personalities. Nick was able to manage and walk my puppy Australian Husky who can be very stubborn and mischievous, while engaging my Golden Doodle who loves to play fetch. I would definitely book him again.”


About: I am a responsible, empathetic, and dedicated dog caregiver, committed to animal well-being. I have experience handling dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I make sure every pet receives personalized attention, proper exercise, scheduled feeding, and plenty of affection while under my care. My key strengths include patience, keen observation of behavioral cues, and the ability to build a bond of trust with animals. I strictly follow the owner's instructions and maintain consistent communication to provide peace of mind and reliability. I currently work part-time, so I have time to share with your pet. I also have the support of my daughter and wife, who will make your pet feel at home. I have a fenced garden, my pet will be great company for your pet and my daughter's love for animals will make your pet's stay a pleasant and enjoyable place.

“Michael was responsive to my texts and emails in a timely manner. He provided photos and updated me on her food and water intake and her bathroom breaks. I would recommend Michael and would use him again.”


About: Growing up I have always had at least 1 dog in the house. I take pride in making sure my pets are happy and healthy. I have years of experience fostering dogs and even kittens as well as working at adoption events to make sure every animal finds their forever home! I also have experience pet sitting for friends and family. I have plenty of time to take care of the pups while I’m home for the Summer! I want to spend as much time as I can with dogs and cats so my schedule is very flexible! I always make sure to keep an eye on my babies whether they’re playing, eating, or just lounging I want to make sure they’re happy and safe! Additionally, I am not afraid to crate an animal for their own safety. I will treat any animal with the same love I give my babies!
