“5 stars for Amy! She provided Domino with amazing care and got him exercised each day during the long holiday weekend. She provides great notes and pictures to go along with their time spent together. She was excellent!!”
“Tom arrived on time and got himself familiarized with Maple pretty quickly. Maple seems to have a good time in her walk. She came home looking very excited. Although we have used his service only one time; we are very happy with it. Will surely reach out again if timing works out.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time caring for your furry friend. I’m also flexible on weekends and can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Trina was extremely good at spotting off-leash dogs on our walk, which was particularly helpful for a reactive dog like our GSD/Husky/Chow Chow mix. She was attentive and got along super well with our dog, and we will definitely be hiring her again.”
“Fantastic pet sitter!! have been on the hunt for someone who can handle and feel comfortable with our reactive boy. He’s a total lovebug inside, but outside gets triggered by other animals. Lexa was great with him and put my anxiety at ease. Thank you so much!”
“Eliana was absolutely wonderful! She gave me complete confidence in leaving my rescue pup in her capable hands. She was great with her communication in setting up the appointments and also updating how my pup was doing with each walk. I would recommend her to anyone who needs support while they’re away!”
About: I’ve been providing pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for over 10 years. Every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to adapt to their individual needs. I strive to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own! I’m available during the weekdays and weekends to care for your pet. I am able to give my full time and attention to your pet. I love to have a meeting with you and your pet before I take care or walk your pet! This is so I can get a good understanding of what you are looking for and how I can best take care of your pet.
“Kristi is absolutely wonderful. She was such a sweetheart with my little dog. Have him treats and was even nice enough to bring in my Amazon packages. Will definitely be booking her again.”
About: At 19 I decided to become a dog groomer. Attended a grooming academy for 9 months part-time. Now going on 15 years Ive worked in Hostipal, salon and mobile settings. Clients have not only trusted me with giving them spa treatments, but have also allowed me into there homes to watch over there babies. I enjoy creating relationships with owners and their pets. I feel honored when trust is built over time and I get peep of excitement when pets see me. Working in the pet industry Ive learned and dealt with all types of pets. From senior to anxiety prone. I believe my calm demeanor allows me to build trust with nervous or anxious pets. I currently work part time so I have about 3 to 4 days that are open a week. The days are work are typically morning till early evening so I could possibly come by after a shift. I will follow your instructions on how and when your pets needs are met on a daily basis. If I am unsure, I will reach out and only when given your consent will I proceed.
“Thank you Gabrielle for walking Toby this afternoon. We appreciate your timely communication and your attention in getting to know our dog at our meet and greet. Looking forward to more walks in the future!”
“Tiffany is great. She is punctual and dependable. Our dog Penny loves going on walks with here. Definitely recommend her for anyone needing a sweet person to walk their pet.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !
About: Looking for someone who had extensive professional animal care? With over 10 years of professional pet experience I can handle any animal situation or emergency. I know how to keep even the most anxious of animals happy and content! Open Communication is important and be prepared for lots of cute photos ! I do this for a living and am passionate about your pet’s physical and mental well being. Each dog has their own unique routine and I am easily adaptable. My goal is to make sure your pet remains calm and content. If that means a long hike or lots of pets and treats then that’s the plan! Feel free to write any notes or routines that you have. The more the better!
About: Hi!! My name is Aurora and I’m so excited to take care of your furr baby or babies! I have years of experience taking care of a wide range of pets from cats to big and small breed doggies. I love animals and believe they are a member of the family and should be treated as such! I have been relied on for walking my friends and neighbors doggies, cat sitting, and routine check ins to ensure that their fur babies are happy, healthy and, most of all, not lonely! As you can see from my pictures, my partner and I have three amazing fur babies, two of which are cats and one big doggy. Our two cats are Hela and Athena and our big goofy fluff ball of a doggie is named Loki. Because I raised my little family members from babies, I am more than comfortable taking care of puppies or kittens also! Pet care fits easily into my schedule — I work Monday-Friday 8-4pm—, leaving early mornings, evenings, and the rest of the weekends open for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine—feeding, walks, play, and any special instructions—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.
About: My connection to animals began early, growing up in the South of Georgia with dogs and ducks as my first pets. That foundation developed into a lifelong respect for animals and their care, including several years representing PETA, which further shaped my thoughtful, ethical approach. With over 20 years as a career nanny, I bring a level of attentiveness, structure, and emotional intelligence that goes well beyond standard pet sitting. I am deeply attuned to routines, subtle behavioral cues, and the importance of calm, consistent care. I approach every animal with the same standards I upheld in private households: reliability, clear communication, discretion, and respect for the family’s home. I also excel in long-term, high-trust arrangements — particularly for families who travel frequently or maintain demanding schedules. In short, I offer composed, experienced, and intentional care, so you can leave knowing your pet is not simply watched, but genuinely cared for. Knowledgeable and up-to-date on 2026 CPR and Rescue for Dogs (Both 30lbs, over and under) and People (Can carry heavy weights, up and down several flights of stairs as training). Veterinarian will be called in case of any Emergency, or if pet is in critical state. Have a Dog First Aid Kit that I bring with me to be readily prepared, and have worked at Lucille Packard Children's Hospital and Archbold Hospital. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly schedule. I intentionally maintain a balanced workload, which allows me to provide attentive, unrushed care and remain fully present during each visit or stay. My background as a career nanny means I am accustomed to structured days, consistent routines, and prioritizing the needs of those in my care without overbooking. Because I plan my week thoughtfully, I am able to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and travel coverage while maintaining flexibility for families who require dependable, ongoing support. Clients appreciate that I treat pet care as a professional commitment — not a side task — ensuring punctuality, consistency, and clear communication. In short, pet care is a deliberate and integrated part of my week, allowing me to offer calm, reliable service that aligns well with families seeking long-term, high-trust care. Pet care in my clients’ home is calm, intentional, and meticulously observed. My attention to detail means I notice the small things — subtle changes in behavior, energy, appetite, or routine — and respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. Your pet’s environment is respected and kept orderly, and routines are followed precisely to maintain a sense of continuity and ease. With a trained eye for photography, I also document care in a refined, unobtrusive way. Updates are thoughtfully composed — well-lit, natural, and unforced — so clients receive images that genuinely reflect their pet’s comfort and well-being, not staged moments. These visuals provide reassurance without disrupting the flow of care. I am mindful that I am a guest in a private home. Discretion, cleanliness, and respect for personal space are paramount. Every visit is approached with the same standard I upheld in private households as a career nanny: quiet professionalism, attentiveness, and pride in the details that elevate the entire experience. In essence, in-home care with me is composed, observant, and beautifully maintained — allowing clients to feel confident that both their pet and their home are in capable, considerate hands.
About: I have a beautiful cat, Charlie. I learned a lot about cats from him. I’ve also had the privilege of working with Much Love (dog foster), NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles, dog care taker) and the Marin Humane Society ( cat care taker), where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. More recently I fostered Timon, a handsome husky, and found a furrever home for him. I love pets and have lots of patience. I’m currently working from home. And my working schedule is flexible. I can work around the schedule to fit pet care in. So I am available most time of the week. I have a fenced yard. My cat Charlie, he just doesn’t care. He is ok with other cats and dogs, based on past experience. No children at home.
About: I adopted my dog at 6 weeks old and he has not gotten out of the puppy phase until he was 4 years old. Throughout those years I've learned to redirect his attention onto something else using treats and words that he can understand. I handle more active/ hyper dogs well during walks and occasionally like to run with them too to burn some energy. Im currently a full- time student with the afternoons free everyday. I have no class on Tuesday and Thursday so I can my spend time with dogs full-time those days! As well as weekends. I like to prioritize enrichment/play and food when I care for a pet because feeding time varies based on each animal. Play time is also important because it's their enrichment time and it is what will tire the pet the best way possible at the end of the day. Play time also allows me to bond with the pet and enjoy my time doing so. I find it be the most rewarding part of taking care of pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kilkare Woods
Amy gave me so much confidence. She has a lot of experience. She doesn’t just walk dogs; she really understands how to handle various needs and build trust with anxious/reactive dogs. Our anxious girl got comfortable around her pretty quickly. She instills a sense of safety, knows best practices for dog handling, and is great at communicating. We are looking forward to leveraging her services!
Zach has been walking our 5-year-old fox red Labrador, Ruby for awhile now, and we couldn’t be happier. Ruby absolutely loves Zach — she gets excited the moment he arrives, which tells us everything we need to know. He’s reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. Ruby comes home happy and well-exercised every time. We highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker.
Carly has been amazing with my dog Lady. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. Lady took to her right away and always comes back from walks happy and well exercised. Carly also keeps me updated, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to walk or care for their dogs.
We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She is very nice, sweet, and incredibly responsive. We booked quite late, but she was supportive and accommodating right from the start. We really appreciated that she took the time to come and meet our fur baby the night before the scheduled walk. This helped us feel completely at ease. We loved the pictures she shared with us during the walk, and the report clearly shows he loved the experience and had a great time! We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again
