I had experience working at doggy care attendant it was a good experience for me and I really like it and I want to try it out this app. Also, I have my own pets and I have 2 dogs. One is a mixed breed female dog her name is Bonita and she is 7 years old. She’s kinda of grumpy. She likes small dogs only. I always keep her in the front of the balcony to keep others safe.

“Hannah “JoJo” is such a bright, loving energy. She is so willing to work with any dog. I feel peace that she’s able to take my little buddy out for a walk daily. She is also really patient as my pup was nervous at first and has now opened up to her. She will work with any type of dog and make sure each and every one of them feels loved. Thanks for all the updates throughout the walks and being so communicative. Keep up the great work!”
“Jennifer was lovely, attentive, and a great communicator. We just adopted our dog and he has little bursts of aggression and Jennifer was kind enough to come by before their first walk to test the waters. Everything turned out great and Jennifer sent updates and pictures throughout his walks. We will definitely work with her again.”
About: I’ve grown up and taken care a variety of animals from dogs (all sizes), cats, rabbits, chickens & even lizards. I’ve done dog walking in highschool and worked at pet food express in 2022 where I learned a lot about grooming, health, training & more! Currently free and available (unless stated I’m book) till the August 8 because I’ll be relocating for college in Southern California. If you see I’m book, still reach! I may be flexible and can work out my schedules. During my free time I’m usually at home with my cats & dog teaching them new tricks or giving them extra love, but I would love to help someone else take care of theirs and give their animals some care while their owners are away or working.
“Christine is detail-oriented and incredibly caring in her approach! She was communicative throughout, asked good questions as needed, and took extra care to ensure my dog Ellie trusted her and had a good time. An excellent helping hand!”
“Stephanie has been so great with my dog Maya. After starting a new job and moving to a new city, I didn’t have any support to help with my dog. Stephanie has been so helpful with all these changes. Maya can be a bit nervous around new people but she warmed up to Stephanie really fast and gets so excited to see her! Stephanie is so great- she is a very reliable person, trustworthy, a great communicator and great with dogs. I’m so happy I found her and that Maya really enjoys her company!”
“Esteban is so fabulous. Super kind and friendly - our dog is all wagging tail when Esteban shows up. Would highly recommend him and plan to use him again and again!”
“We just moved and we’re in need of a last minute dog sitter. Megan was super responsive and made everything so easy for us. She asked all of the right questions and made sure that she knew the info she needed to watch our dog as well as our house. She kept us updated the whole time we were gone which made us feel even more relax while away. Upon coming home, we could tell our pup had a good time with Megan and our house was in the same condition that we left it. We are thrilled to have found Megan! Thank you for taking care of our pup!”
“Adam is fantastic and does a proper walk. My dogs were tired and looked forward to their walks with him. I'll definitely request his services again.”
About: Hi Paw-rents! Thanks so much for stopping by! I know how personal it is to choose someone to care for your beloved pet—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is simple: to make sure your furry family member feels safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away, and that you feel completely at ease knowing they’re in great hands. I bring a calm, grounded presence to pet care, shaped by my background in social work and trauma-informed support. I understand how to meet each pet exactly where they are—whether they’re shy, high-energy, older, or need a little extra patience. I move at their pace, tune into their cues, and make sure they feel secure every step of the way. In my free time you’ll find me outdoors hiking, exploring national parks, or walking my sweet dog Zuri and exploring dog heaven at Fort Funston Beach. Zuri is incredibly gentle, and we love hosting dog friends at our peaceful, pet-friendly home. You can count on me for: Thoughtful, loving, and responsible care Clear, consistent communication A calm, structured environment your pet can settle into If you're looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well-being—I’d love to connect. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I'm currently working part-time, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-ins—mornings and afternoons or evenings Wednesday through Sunday. Whether your pup needs a playful day or a cozy overnight stay, I’ve got you covered! A Typical Day with Me I love spending time outdoors, so your pup and I will enjoy walks exploring the neighborhood and sniffing new scents. With your approval, I’ll offer healthy treats to keep things fun. We might visit the dog park for some social time, then relax with sunbathing or quiet rest. At home, your dog can play with my gentle pup Zuri—or I’m happy to keep them separate if needed. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of time to be fully present and give your pet all the love and attention they deserve. I truly enjoy building bonds with every dog I care for—it’s one of my favorite parts of this work!
“Cynthia was a great walker with our dog Rocky! She took him on long walks and he was a happy and tired pup every day. Very responsive as well. Thank you Cynthia!”
About: Here for cat care! I have been a cat lover and cat care provider for the past 10 years. I have two cats of my own, so understand the importance of trusted pet care when traveling. have fostered cats and Right now I work as a mental health therapist which means that my schedule is flexible. I work from home meaning that I can be available for visits during the day if needed. Mondays I dedicate solely to pet care. I have two cats of my own in my home meaning that I don't offer boarding services. In my client's home I offer pet care catered to each person and pet's needs.
“Thanks!”
“Sarah is an excellent communicator and really connectes with my leash reactive pup. She sends videos and photo updates and I trust her with Jojo. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Elise did a great job walking my Great Dane mix. She was very energetic and positive, and my dog seemed very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I've been pet-sitting professionally since September 2023 and have done walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. This includes caring for senior dogs who need mobility assistance and have a hard time hearing and seeing. I also volunteered at my local animal shelter during college, where I had weekly shifts walking, playing with, and socializing dogs in the shelter. Additionally, I have experience caring for my own pet rats, and others' rodents and reptiles (rabbit, guinea pigs, and bearded dragons). With clear instructions from you, I would love to care for any rodents, reptiles, amphibians, or birds as well! You can list these animals as "Cats" within your Rover profile. I have a 30 hour/week job in libraries and I work pet-care into my off-days, or before/after a work shift. I recently adopted my own cat, so I will mostly be offering drop-in visits and dog walks, but will be available for 1-3 night housesits. Let me know you and your pet's schedule and needs, and we can see if we're a good match! I like to get to know you and your pet before caring for them in order to make sure we’re a good fit (so, I do require a Meet & Greet before booking). Whether they're an energetic dog who will want a high energy walk, or a shy cat who might take some time getting used to a stranger, I want your pets to feel safe, cared for, and happy. Please note: I have a severe peanut allergy so if feeding your dog peanut butter or peanut treats is a big part of their routine, I won't be able to provide those foods, but if they can go without while in my care, that's okay!

I value Gena’s service because I can step away for vacation and know my doggie is in a safe place with comfortable care. Also Gena takes pictures of Smooches during her care showing that Smooches is comfortable which allows me to relax and enjoy my time away.”

Grace L.
“Grace is very trustworthy and dependable. I never have concerns leaving my fur babies (1 dog and 2 cats) in her care. She spends time just cuddling and playing with them above and beyond the essential duties of feeding, medicating, walking, and litter scooping. They clearly like to see her and so having her around makes that part of my leaving home completely stress-free. If an issue arises or she has a question/concern about their behavior or whatever she’s very reliable about reaching out via text or email. I have no reservations in recommending her as a pet sitter.”
Andres G.
“I can't think of a better person as a pet caregiver. Andres adores animales and it's really good with dogs. He has been taking care of my husky Samoyed mix since I adopted her 6 yrs ago and I even leave her with him while I go on long trips....he takes care of her with absolutely dedication.”

Helen was super friendly, communicative, and attentive. She took the time to get to know our dog and our preferences, and I felt so comfortable having her walk our pup. I would ask Helen to walk our dog again in a heartbeat!
Our pup Kobe immediately took a liking to Ariana! She was very warm and patient with him. Really appreciate finding a wonderful sitter in Ariana!
Natalie was very good with our lab! She is reliable and flexible. We felt very comfortable putting Natalie in charge of our pup!
Inertia was a lifesaver! She swooped in when our usual walker had to go out of town unexpectedly and made it so easy and stress free to make sure my dog was taken care of, including giving medications. She went above and beyond spoiling our guy and I will definitely reach out to her again in the future.
G’la was great! I especially appreciated her clear, communication, friendliness, and willingness to walk Nina last minute. I would request her again.
Hollie was very caring of Luna and spent a lot of time with her walking and getting to know her. Luna was quite happy by the end.
Gwen is wonderful with our big dog - she is comfortable taking her on both on and off leash adventures and our dog adores her 🩷
Amazing, reliable, and adaptable. He was great with my girl who has reactivity and quick to respond. Will be booking again!
Is so excellent with my senior pup and is great at communicating on the app. Would recommend Christina!!!

- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
