“My husband was gone on a business trip and I needed some help walking Kiki in the afternoons. I wanted someone experienced with pitties just in case some of her behaviors came out during the walk and Alex did great! She was always super excited to see him and we can’t wait to book him again :)”


“Elena was amazing! I had a request for dog walking which was very short notice. I'd thrown out my back and she was patient with Nemo and took him on a nice walk. She even spent a few extra mins talking to me about some exercises for my back. I'd definitely recommend and book her again.”


“Erin was amazing with our dog! She was super responsive, caring, and treated our pup like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”


“Alma has been walking Pacho for about 2 weeks now and she’s been so amazing thus far. She always has his best interest and cares for him like her own. I would highly recommend her to everyone. She leaves amazing notes”


“Jackie and Jannalea were very sweet and patient with my dog Ponyo. Ponyo got her walks and they managed to take the same route that I usually do without my prompting! Got photos and updates each time so I knew what was going on. Wouldn't hesitate to book again!”


“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.”


“Lydia is an amazing dog walker for Hazel, always reliable and caring each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Hazel adores her, and Lydia’s expertise shines in Hazel's improved walking behavior. Her warm and professional approach gives me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend Lydia for anyone seeking a dependable dog walker!”


About: I have always had a deep love for dogs, having been surrounded by them since childhood. My journey as a dog owner officially began four years ago after we bought our first house. Being committed to responsible pet ownership, we conducted thorough research before adopting our dog, and our learning curve continued to rise after bringing him home. This journey has not only enriched our lives but has also led us to form meaningful friendships with fellow pet lovers. Apart from caring for our own dog, we have had the pleasure of looking after the furry companions of our friends outside Rover. My biggest strengths lie my meticulous attention to detail and a profound sense of responsibility. I am fortunate to be a stay-at-home spouse. My daily routine involves caring for my plants and my beloved dog, activities that bring me immense joy and fulfillment. If you can tell me more about your furry child, such as what he/she is allergic to and what he/ she doesn’t like…This allows me to ensures that they feel comfortable and loved during my visit. I bring energy, love, and reliability right to your doorstep. Your furry family gets tail-wagging walks full of sniffs, exploration, and just the right amount of adventure for their personality. During drop-in visits, I'm the friend who brightens their day with belly rubs, playtime, fresh treats, and all the attention they crave. I don't just follow routines—I bring them to life! Whether it's that special walk route your dog adores or remembering exactly how your cat likes their afternoon snack served, I make every visit feel personal. Plus, your home stays secure with mail collected and a lived-in look that gives you peace of mind. Your pets stay happy in their favorite spot, while getting the exercise, companionship, and care that keeps their tails wagging until you return.

“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.”


“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.”


“Thank you Dani. I appreciate how well you communicated via the app on your availability and even your arrival for Harley’s walk. Our boy got a good walk today and he’s a happy dog.”


About: I have taken care of my own puppies for a long time since I was younger as well as my families puppies as well. It brings a joy to me to take care of other puppies as well. It fits into my daily routine because it helps me keep a balance as well with my personal life to hangout with pets that bring me joy and also help serve my community! I always love to care for my pets with the things they love. Joy, treats, love, and toys that they love as well so they have the best experience!

“Veronica saved the day with a last minute booking to walk our fur baby. She kept in communication and gave updates on how our doggo was doing. We plan to book with her again!”


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!

Zhuke L.
“Zhuke is an incredibly kind and reliable pet caregiver. We were so lucky to have her take care of our 6 month puppy Tutu last Christmas for 10 days and also 2 weeks this summer! I can tell that Tutu absolutely loves staying with Zhuke and her family! She gives us updates with pictures and videos every day - so thoughtful! She is really knowledgeable about pet care, and has a lot of experience. She really goes above and beyond to make him feel so comfortable and loved, treating him as if he is her own. I can't recommend her enough. She is the best. Also, Zhuke has a lovely German Shepherd named Rusty. Rusty is not only well-trained and well-behaved but also has a genuinely sweet personality. He treats Tutu like a little brother, and their friendship is just heartwarming!”
