About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals my whole life, but I’ve been doing it professionally for over 5 years. I’m currently in a Vet Tech/Assistant program, so I have the training to handle everything from walks and grooming to giving medicine to diabetic or senior pets. Whether you have dogs, cats, birds, or small mammals, I’m comfortable, educated, and ready to treat your pets like my own I do work as a youth service partner with adopted kids, but that position is intermittent, so I have flexibility and dedication to provide care for your pets. I will provide reliable, safe, loving care in your home. I will strictly follow all routines to make sure your pets stay happy and secure.
“We were in town to visit the National Parks and Kendra did an incredible job with our skittish dog. She was able to build trust quickly and get her the exercise she needed. I appreciate her patience and professionalism. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who may be passing through and needing someone trustworthy!”
“Daniel has been walking our dogs when we head out of town and he has been so reliable and responsive. Very easy to communicate and book with him! I’d highly recommend him to anyone seeking dog care in any form.”
About: I've taken care of a variety of animals from birds, cats, and dogs. I like to send pictures and spend quality time with the animals. I'm currently off work for the summer and have availability to check in multiple times on your pet! I will treat them as my own. I have a fenced in backyard, doggy door in one of my rooms, I can easily let pets in and out of my slider door.
About: Specializing in gentle, professional care to elderly and disabled dogs and cats. I started my professional career in animal care at the East Bay SPCA Veterinary Clinic in Oakland. Inspired by the importance of animal welfare, I would complete an eight-week internship at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, where I gained valuable skills in veterinary pre- and post-op care. Following that remarkable experience, I was a veterinary assistant for a holistic veterinarian at a private practice. Later, I returned to shelter medicine as a veterinary technician at the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society. This span of 25 years allowed me to develop and strengthen my skills and expertise in animal care, specializing in the needs of senior dogs and cats. I am currently accepting new senior or disabled pets for slow strolls and other enrichment activities. My availability is flexible on Saturdays and Sundays, while weekdays are limited to only evening visits. Your pet's trust is important to me. I will arrive into your home with a warm and calm voice, assuring your beloved pets that I am gentle and kind. Being a former vet tech, I am also trained and skilled at giving medication*, which can be done in the comfort of your home. *All medications must be veterinarian-prescribed with dosage instructions. No exceptions.
About: I have taken care of pets, cats and dogs, from a young age. I grew up a cat and dog owner and have always loved my pets. I have experience training young dogs for sit, stay, fetch, lay down, roll over, wait, and go. I also regularly pet sit for family members. I am currently not working due to summer break, so I have full open availability. When school starts in August, I will be available evening after 5 and all day weekends. I am hoping to find pet sitting for weekends and dog walks for week days. I currently have a 3 bedroom apartment that is pet friendly. I can take care of small dogs/ cats at my own home and able to take them for walks around my neighborhood. I am willing and comfortable to pet sit in the client’s home and to go to the client’s home to take pups for walks.
About: I have strong experience working with dogs, providing attentive care, regular exercise, and lots of affection. I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments, and I focus on keeping dogs safe, happy, and well cared for while maintaining their routines. I am currently a graduate student looking for a nice little side job to keep me busy and make some extra money to help with my bills. I love animals and this is the perfect way to keep myself busy. I care for pets by keeping a consistent routine, making sure they have fresh food and water, and providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to their behavior and give them plenty of affection, playtime, and exercise. When I’m in someone else’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, respect their space, and keep them updated so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I recently rescued my own dog from a backyard breeding situation, which strengthened my understanding of patience, trust-building, and providing a safe, loving environment for animals who need extra care. Beyond my own pets, I have regularly helped friends and family care for their dogs whenever they needed support, including feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping up with their daily routines. I treat every dog with the same compassion, attention, and respect I give my own, and I am committed to making sure every pup feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I am currently a part-time college student, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to your pets. I’m able to work around different routines and provide reliable, consistent care when you need it. I love having the opportunity to spend extra time with animals and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care while keeping their routine, comfort, and well-being my top priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and habits, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I provide consistent feeding, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication support if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I also treat every home with respect and care, ensuring it stays clean, secure, and comfortable. My goal is to give pets the same patience, protection, and affection I give my own animals, so owners can have complete peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with experience feeding, walking, playing, and providing loving attention to your fur baby while ensuring their safety, comfort and happiness. Available Friday through Sunday with flexible availability during the rest of the week. Happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible to meet your pet care needs. I live in a quiet, spacious apartment with a dog park and lots of room for walks around the property. I lost my own dog about a year ago, so pet sitting has been such a sweet way for me to still get all the puppy love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for neighbors and family members on a regular basis. I have had a dog since I was 5 who unfortunately passed away a few years ago. Taking care of her with the help of my mother has taught me patience and helped me gain experience with elderly dogs. I am currently free full time over the summer as I have recently graduated. Starting in August, I will be working regularly as a substitute teacher, but will be available all day on weekends. I can offer all day care if needed. If you need me to stay the night, I can absolutely do so. I am adaptable to all of your pet’s needs, just let me know!
About: Hello! My name is Ariel. I have my AA in animal science as well as have my certification in dog obedience training, pet nutrition and pet first aid/CPR. I currently work at an animal hospital and I also do obedience training. I can follow instructions very well and I love to send pictures and updates to pet parents that book with me so they know how everything is going with their babies and help them feel more at ease! I also love bike riding and roller blading which I find are good ways to help release a lot of built up energy in dogs! I strongly believe animals are a big part of our familys and should be loved and cared for like family! I hope I am what you are looking for in a pet sitter! I do my best to accommodate all pet parent wishes with my schedule and am very honest about my abilities and scheduling to make sure everyone is comfortable and on the same page I have a fully fenced yard with tall trees providing lots of shade as well as lots of grass. On warm summer days I do bring out splash pads, pools and sprinklers to have some fun in the sun!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Higby. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Higby.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Higby. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
