About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was 10 years old, and as a dog mom myself, I know that your pet isn't 'just' a pet, they’re family. I specialize in attentive walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. My goal is to make sure every parent feels completely happy and comfortable while they’re away or at work. Because my own dog is my baby, I treat every 'furbaby' in my care like royalty. I am also available for overnight stays in my home! I live in a cozy one-bedroom with my own private, fenced-in backyard, which is perfect for safe outdoor playtime. To ensure a calm and personalized environment for my own dog and yours, I specialize in hosting small-to-medium sized breeds. Whether it's a walk, a visit, or a sleepover, I prioritize keeping you in the loop with frequent updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I treat every pet with the same love and devotion I give my own! I am fully available for dedicated care on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I also have flexible availability on Saturdays for walks, visits, or boarding. Because I work a set schedule on other days, your pet gets my undivided attention during my mid-week "on-duty" days. I am committed to maintaining your pet's routine and making sure they feel loved and active while you are busy. I provide a calm, boutique environment in my cozy in-law unit, which is located in a pet-friendly building and features my own private, fenced-in backyard for safe potty breaks and outdoor play. Your pet’s safety is my absolute priority; for overnight guests, I use a secure playpen setup when I am briefly away to ensure everyone has their own comfortable, supervised space. My resident dog is a small French Bulldog who is very timid and antisocial, he prefers to keep his distance and is never aggressive, making him a perfect, low-pressure "roommate" for pets who also enjoy their personal space. Whether we are hanging out in the yard or going for a neighborhood walk, I treat your furbaby with the same high standards of safety and love that I give my own "baby" every single day. I love making sure parents feel completely at ease, so I prioritize keeping you in the loop with frequent updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing!

About: I've had dogs and cats in my house my whole life, and am a huge animal lover! I recently relocated from the Pacific Northwest back to California, but I have a ton of experience pet and house sitting for friends and family both in Seattle and the Bay Area. I have experience dealing with all ages and many breeds of dogs and cats from eight weeks old to senior citizens. There is little that brings me more joy in this world than animals do! I currently have a very flexible schedule after relocating and waiting to start a graduate program this fall. With some advanced notice, I am likely to make your pet’s needs work with my schedule! I am more than happy to come to you but cannot board dogs at home during this time. I have reliable transportation and will respect the boundaries you put in place if I am visiting your pet in your home.

About: Hi! Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including senior, anxious, and high-energy pets. At home, I currently have two small dogs, Wallace (14) and Tofu (7), along with my cat Luna (9), so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and their routines. I'm especially comfortable with: - Senior dog & cat care - Giving medication - High-energy dogs who need extra engagement - Anxious or shy pets who need patience and calm energy - Positive reinforcement and treat-based training I'm not a professional trainer, but I genuinely enjoy working with dogs on basic skills, confidence, and engagement through positive reinforcement. If your dog is treat motivated, I'd love to incorporate little training moments into walks or drop-ins (with your permission of course!). I have a flexible schedule and am available Monday–Friday from 7am–6pm, which allows me to give your pets lots of attention, consistency, and care. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, extra playtime, a slow walk, or just someone patient and attentive to check in on them, I'd love to help! I know pets are family, and I'll always do my best to make them feel safe, understood, and cared for while you're away 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule and am available Monday-Friday from 7am-6pm for walks, drop-ins, and enrichment time. I'm able to give pets consistent attention and adjust to their routines as needed. I focus on keeping your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible while you're away. I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and walk routines. I'm patient, attentive, and always prioritize your pet's safety and comfort, both in your home and on walks.

About: Gentle (or jumpy!) giants are my specialty. I’ve spent the last 15 years sharing my life with Bullmastiffs, Dogues de Bordeaux and Cane Corsos from puppyhood to passing. Medium dogs are great but the big boys and girls are my heart. All ages welcome. My home is 100% set up for dog life. I’m retired from my full-time career but still work very part-time as a CrossFit coach, and also workout daily. Mornings I’m at the gym but home between classes and all afternoon. I have time for potty in the morning and awesome walks in the afternoon. Of course, cuddle and play time included! I have a fully fenced back yard, a dog run for their business, and a big dog bed in my living room. I have plenty of sanitized toys. Basically my home is set up to share with dogs. Unfortunately, my last baby crossed the rainbow bridge last September so I’m taking this opportunity to care for yours.

About: Hi, my name is Taylor! I’ve had more pets than I can count throughout my life: dogs, turtles, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, frogs, and fish! I absolutely love caring for animals and will treat your pets like my own. I love spending days walking around Lake Merritt and I live very close to a park that I take my own dog to so your pups will definitely be well exercised here! I live in a beautiful apartment complex that is pet friendly and also live on the first floor so that makes emergency potty breaks super easy breezy. Please let me know if you have any questions about what I am able to do for you and your puppy, looking forward to hearing from you! I work part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I’ll make sure they are comfy, and have all of their needs met like a nice & full belly! Long walks are never a problem here I’m very flexible and find it very easy to adjust to different pet care instructions. I can provide all the stimulation your pup needs and will always send pics.

About: With 10+ years of animal care experience — including 4 years as a veterinary assistant — I’m especially experienced with seniors, anxious or shy pets, and those needing medications or extra TLC. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like my own. Providing care for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle — my schedule is intentionally flexible so I can be available when your pets need me most. Whether you need help during long workdays, weekend trips, or last-minute schedule changes, I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs. Let me know what your pet’s routine looks like — I’ll do my best to match it, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Within the client's home, I do everything I can to make their pets feel safe, seen, and loved. I know how important it is to maintain their routine and environment, especially for pets who thrive on familiarity. I take time to build trust, go at their pace, and make sure they feel comfortable with me in their space. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, extended visit, or overnight stay, I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries. I always follow instructions carefully, provide updates along the way, and make sure your pet is happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. For the health and safety of your pet, I kindly ask that clients provide their own grooming tools — including brushes, combs, nail clippers, styptic powder, and any other essentials your pet is familiar with. Using your pet’s personal tools helps prevent the spread of bacteria, and ensures a safe, and hygienic experience. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

I’m patient, attentive, and make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience following feeding schedules, giving basic care, and providing extra attention to puppies and senior dogs. I always treat pets as if they were my own. I’m currently a nursing student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets, making sure they get attention, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I keep a clean, calm environment and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. As a nursing student, I’m attentive, responsible, and comfortable monitoring behavior changes and overall well-being. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and love.

It was wonderful to be able to count on Natalie to help us with three walks over the holiday weekend! Our dog, Grover, is anxious around new people and dog reactive. Natalie was happy to take things very slowly with him until he was comfortable and gave me lots of updates. She definitely went the extra mile (sometimes literally) to make sure he got out on a nice walk and was well taken care of. It was a huge relief to find someone we could trust, which allowed me to relax while away. We will definitely be reaching out to Natalie soon to book more walks!

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Jefferson.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
