“Hana is amazing! I have been extremely scatterbrained and she’s been very understanding and worked with me when I messed up our walking schedule. She is a true dog whisperer and I trust her with our (sometimes very angry) 13 year old husky. She is very patient with him (and me) and has been a real lifesaver for dog walking on our busy 15 hour days!”


“Tyler has been a God send! I’ve been working two jobs back to back and husband has been deployed so it’s been very helpful having Tyler help me take care of my pups on my long work days. He goes above and beyond to help me out by feeding them, filling their water bottle and taking out the trash. Will definitely recommend Tyler!”

About: I have had a dog for as long as I can remember. My family had large and small breeds, all the way from a miniature sheltie named Cupcake, to a 100lb. anatolian shepard, Connie who is my son's first pet. My family has bred labradors in the past and the whole family had a hand in the process. Dogs typically take to me very quickly and I love to take care of them. On weekdays, I am typically available for earlier morning visits (6-9), late lunchtime visits (11-2), and any time after 3:30. On weekends, I have full availability. At home, my girl Connie is a big giant 100lb. lapdog. She is getting up in age, so she's not so active anymore, but we still get out to walk a few times per day. I know that every pup has it's own schedule, but drop ins would typically include a walk and/or bathroom break, scritches, food and water of course, and de-shedding if needed/requested (I know mine does!).

About: With over 10 years of experience as a dedicated pet owner, I take great pride in providing loving, attentive care to every animal I welcome into my home. I currently live with two wonderful dogs: Sage, a calm and gentle 9-year-old retired Greyhound, and Willow, an energetic and social Greyhound/Doberman mix puppy who thrives in the company of other dogs. My passion for animals extends beyond care—I also enjoy capturing their unique personalities through photography. Be sure to check out the photos I’ve taken of past guests! My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly at home while in my care. I work from home on an alternate schedules. I am home most weekends, but please let me in advance. So that I can dedicate time to play and care for your pet! I live in a house with a securely gated, spacious backyard that offers plenty of room for pups to run and play (see photos!). Your pet will also have the companionship of my two friendly dogs.

About: Hi!! I’ve had dogs since I was 2 years old and was the main caretaker growing up for our large and small dogs. I have had 2 dogs as an adult and am familiar with rescues that are more sensitive along with high energy breeds! :) I’m here for check ins or walks while your furry babe is at home and needing some TLC!❤️ I work from home so I’m able to step away for a walk or check in as needed without a problem! I tend to my fur kids throughout the day easily so helping out some fellow fur owners would be awesome! I prefer not to have other pets in my home due to me having 3 pets but would be open to communicating your needs if you do need a daycare situation. I prefer to walk dogs or check in with pups or kitties if possible! :)

About: Over the past decade just about I have taken care of my pets, family pets and even friends pets. Anywhere from a fish to a Mastiff. I’ve had plenty of responsibility with acts such as bathing, feeding, walking, cleaning up and even loving. I enjoy time with pets and will even talk to them as if they can talk back. I’m open to every animal there is! I just graduated with a degree in Respiratory Therapy, so I have all the availability there is! For this summer, I am currently available really at anytime, morning to evening. I can travel when needed to wherever. I have plenty of time to go on walks or runs, whichever is preferred or necessary for your pet. I feel a dog needs to get out and either walk or play. I like to go on walks when it’s not too hot for the pets to walk on the ground, going out in a fenced yard and throwing a toy around or just lying out in the sun, sitting and enjoying what’s around.

“Danielle is amazing! We needed someone last minute to walk our pups and she responded right away. She is very communicative, on time, and takes note of our pups needs. She went above and beyond, I will 100% be rebooking her in the future!”


About: I have 2 dogs, one big one small. Been taking care of them alone since i was 15. I’m very patient and I will take them any day of the week Part time worker, full-time student. Free everyday of the week except Wednesday. Spend a lot of time at home studying, need a buddy to keep me company Love pets, love long walks around the neighborhood.

About: Hello, my name is Cindy! I've had my first dog when I was 10. I have two poodles in Beijing with my mom, two Maltipoo in Cali with my dad, and I now have a 1-year-old miniature schnauzer my own. I provide my dog with the best treats from Acana, Orijen, VitalEssentials and etc. I will also cook boiled veggies and chicken breast for my dog. I care the most about my dog's health. I want to do dog sitting is because I am currently on break at home and also would like my dog to meet other new friends. She is super friendly with other dogs and loves to play. Can't wait for her to meet new friends!!! I am currently on break so will be at home most time during the day. Will be able to provide potty breaks every 3-5 hours. I live in an apartment with two friendly cats and a dog, and I have cameras at home to ensure safety and peace of mind when pets are in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and privacy—I never go beyond what’s necessary for the pet’s wellbeing. Cleanliness and supervision are my top priorities, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

About: I have been around animals my whole life, especially dogs! I have been apart of the training process and always been the dog walker in the family. I work early shifts so my work day always ends at 3pm. I also work close to home, so the dog would never be alone for longer than 3-4 hours! I live right across the street from a park, and I am happy to set up an area with their own bed, bowls, and blanket!

About: I’ve raised and currently care for a dog that’s about 12 years of age. I also am the official dog sitter of all of my friends pets as well when they’re out of town! I don’t have any official training but I have been through the gauntlet of potty training a puppy since birth and all of the responsibilities that come with that. I work two days in office during the week so any bookings Other than that I’m always home and can give the pets my full attention. I can work around the confides of the booking whether it be the clients place or mine. I have a fenced dog park as well as a large grass field at my apartment complex.

About: My name is Carisa I am 29 years old. I was raised with dogs my whole life and have lots of experience with different breeds and ages! From puppies, to middle aged to senior dogs I have experienced it all. I live in a very dog friendly community with its own local dog park.

Ask me any questions and I would be happy to answer them :) I work from home on Monday and Fridays so am available for walks during lunch time on those days. Otherwise any day after 5pm or available for boarding on weekends! I treat every animal like they are my own! I am very cautious with their special needs and give them all the love and affection they deserve!!!

About: I have cared for all types of dog breeds since I was 9 years old. Friends and family have been able to rely on me for walking, feeding, bathing, giving medication, play time and basic training their dogs for years. I have 2 fur babies of my own so I know how important it is to care for dogs, I care for every dog as if it were my own! Feeding: Every dog is different when it comes to diet so I pay close attention to detail when it comes to feeding them. Anything from dry dog food, raw feeding or cooking their meals, I can do. Medication: I have had a lot of experience when it comes to giving medication to dogs. I can give oral medicine, ear drops, ointments, and I’ve even done IV bags. Walks: I prefer to take one dog at a time if there are multiple in a house hold, mainly larger breeds. But I can take 2 at a time if they are small breeds. Bath time: I can offer a basic bath. Shampoo, scrub, rinse and try. No grooming, aside from brushing. Training: I can do basic training with the time I’m with the dog. Sitting, laying, give paw, stay. Play time: My favorite part, playing with the dogs! Throwing the ball, fetch, tug of war, etc! Even just simple belly rubs or keeping your dog some company :) This is my only form of work so I am available at all times during the day weekdays and weekends! My schedule is very flexible & can accommodate to you & your pup! I keep a very close eye on your dog, they will be near me at all times. I like to make sure they don’t get into things whether it’s in the home or in the backyard. I double check gates/doors are closed.

About: I’ve owned and raised dogs since I was 10 years old. I love animals and I’m very good with them. I also breed chihuahuas for 5 years. Currently living in a small apt and traveling the world so really missing dogs. Your dogs are in the best hands and care with me. I have a very flexible schedule! I have my own business and go on long walks every day. I travel every 5-6 weeks for 1 week but other than that I’m local. My home is ideal for small pets since it’s a very small apartment. I don’t like isolating pets in a cage or fence. The home is safe for the pet to roam around.

Alyssa H.
“I am a pet mom of a French bulldog named Koko for about 3 years now and for the first years Alyssa was able to help me care for Koko as I worked a full time job and care for a family. The love and affection she gave our family dog was beyond our expectations. Dogs have a good sense on people and Koko had a hard time getting comfortable outside our family and when Alyssa came to help Koko attached to her so quick. He felt the love she had and the care she gave him was beautiful. For 2 years she helped us transition to being a dog family and I couldn’t have asked for more! Alyssa still dog sits for us and visits us often. Alyssa is amazing with pets.”


Paris P.

“Awesome experience! My dog loved her! Great energy, professional, gentle, communicative, on time. Best walker in the business. She’s at the top of our list.”


William C.
“I highly recommend Billy as a caregiver on Rover! He’s a fantastic guy who genuinely loves animals and has cared for his own dog, Kyrie, for many years. His patience, responsibility, and kindness make him the perfect person to trust with pets. Billy goes above and beyond to ensure dogs or cats are happy, safe, and well-exercised. Anyone looking for a reliable and caring caregiver would be lucky to have Billy!”


Carisa R.
“Carisa is THE BEST dog sitter and the only person I trust to watch my fur babies. I have complete peace of mind when my dogs are with her. She is so sweet and loving with them and takes great care of them. Traveling used to be so stressful for me until I met Carisa and now it is so nice that I can trust my dogs are in great hands. She sends tons of pictures and videos and updates which I appreciate. I also know that Carisa is heavily involved in the dog rescue/fostering community which tells you what a true and compassionate dog lover she is! I recommend her to all of my friends and family!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! Sofia went above and beyond while watching Bliss, treating her like part of the family. She sent regular updates, photos, and even a few videos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with your pet, but Sofia absolutely earned that trust. She was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
