About: Experience with dog care specifically has occurred throughout my entire life from raising my own puppy now to showing dogs as a child. I lived on a ranch ranging in care of small and large animals from quail, rabbits to horses and cows. I have worked with dogs that range in behavior and level of care. Currently, my schedule would have no impact by taking on the care of pets! Luckily for me I am able to commit a great amount of time to both sitting and walking pets during this time. I will be able to care for pets in clients home with care, responsibility and overall caution of your space and your pets space. I am able to follow instructions accurately and will provide updates, pictures and videos of your pets stay away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my entire life! I’ve had 6 dogs of my own. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors' dogs at just 10 years old, and at 16, I started watching cats as well. I’d love to meet your pets and give them a home away from home :) I would love to spend all day with your pets. I work a part-time job where I will occasionally cover 4-hour shifts, but that’s the only time I’m away from the house. I would love to discuss what you love for your pets, whether it is car rides, walks, runs, etc. I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space. I’m ready for all the energy or no energy at all, and I’ll be sure to follow any specified requests on how I can make your pet's time away from you and/or home the best time!

About: I have been dog sitting for at least twenty years now. I’ve always enjoyed it so much. I’m very fond of dogs and really any other animals. I’ve taken care of a range of dogs requiring all different types of attention. I’ve pretty much had a dog or several throughout my whole life and currently I don’t, so the dog sitting helps me get my dog fix. I love spending times with animals because they are so unconditionally loving and fun. I love to take them on adventures to the beach or in the mountains. I can also take care of other needs around the house, such as, watering plants, gathering mail, taking out the trash, and of course I will keep the house tidy, while you are away. Currently I am available full days to take care of your beloved pet/pets. I am new to the area and would love to be able to make some income doing something I love. I am very cautious and aware of my surroundings at all times and will be sure that your sweet animals will always be safe. I have a lot of experience with dogs and other pets and feel I sm very perceptive of animals in my care, people, and other animals.

About: I have more than ten year experience; I've taken care of pets since I was in middle school. Neighbors would trust me to walk their dogs after school and board them when they went on extended vacations. My two sisters each have a dog and I also care for them when they are away. I did assist in training them when they were puppies including commands and crate training. I have my own six year old rescue who is my baby! I have been walking and pet sitting on my days off as a nurse. I will be in between jobs in November and December and will have all the time to look after your furry friend I will be in between nursing jobs the months of November and December so I will have all the time to care for your furry friends. For house sitting and dog visits/walks I will follow all of you instructions and reach out with any additional questions that may arise! My care is filled with lots of love and snuggles.

About: I have owned and taken care of all kinds of dogs throughout my life! I have walked, dog sat, and fed for families before! One of my biggest loves in life in my dog Lilo, and probably your dog too. I am currently not working, as I am home for the summer from college so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available most days of the week and weekends. In a clients home I like to honor the systems and rules that their household has in place. If that is making sure the dog is supervised, or taking extra precautions while taking walks, I try to ensure the environment is always safe and comfortable for the dog!

Sara was fantastic! I gave her a lot of notes because it was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving my new foster dog alone for more than a couple of hours. She understood exactly what I needed and took such great care of him. I was able to have a great evening out and let go of my worries about the dog. She is so friendly, kind, and understanding! Definitely will book with Sara again!

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have raised two cats from kittens over the past 5 years and have hands-on experience caring for pets with medical needs, including giving medications and insulin injections. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and family, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and overnight care. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I work full-time on a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. I work remotely on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, allowing me to provide pet care throughout the day, including walks, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I work in the office but maintain a flexible schedule and am available for morning, evening, and many midday visits. I am also available most weekends and am happy to work with pet parents to accommodate their pets’ routines and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can walk and crate dogs if needed and am experienced in following established routines. I also have experience caring for shy cats and understand the importance of patience and respecting their boundaries. I strive to create a calm, stress-free environment and will keep you updated throughout my time with your pet.

About: Absolutely dog obsessed!!! - here for the summer before heading to grad school in September! I have a very lazy older dog Earl (we used to live in Manhattan and have been on good morning America and Seth meyers together!). Earl won’t walk as much as I want to get out this summer, so I thought I would love walk other dogs and walk to check in on other dogs! I will never walk more than one dog at a time (unless you have two dogs and want me to walk them together!) Very flexible with scheduling, living in windansea and have a car so willing to drive to you if needed, happy to accommodate what routes your dog likes or if it’s just a home check in send pictures to you 🐶🐾 Let me know if you have any questions! After working in finance for tech (Spotify and Square) / sports (NFL) for 6 years I decided I want to go to grad school to pivot my career. I ended my last tech job early June and am taking an online math class (~3 hours a week) until grad school starts! Will have lots of available time and thought what better than to get out in the sun and go on dog walks/walk to check in on others’ dogs! Happy to set up expected routines (I have a few weddings / some weekends I’m out of town) or work on an ad hoc needed basis :) Best way to tell you about safety and trust is that my dog is a 6 year old bulldog with no health issues - I take very good care of him and always keep a close watch (he has his quirks with temperament!!) I almost went to UC Davis for undergrad in vet sciences but decided I love animals too much I can’t imagine the harder conversations some vets have to have. I’ve grown up in Northern California with big and small dogs (basset hounds, weiner dog, terrier chihuahua mix, 2 goldens, 1 English retriever… and some chinchillas (our home was amazing!!!)) so I know each dog is different with temperament and quirks- totally here to take notes and make sure I abide by exactly what you want! Also, I worked as an internal auditor for 4 years at Spotify and an AI company - so I am naturally a very risk adverse person who wants to make sure I understand guidelines and expectations..Especially when it comes to your house / dog! feel free to run a background check or ask for references 👍 happy to also set up a quick meeting and I can swing by or meet you at a local coffee shop to “vet” me out (no pun intended!). Looking forward to it!

About: My love for animals started early. I raised two cats from kittens and had an adorable mini poodle-terrier mix for two years. I regularly walk and care for my partner’s two large dogs and two cats, and I’ve done overnight stays for a friend’s puppy. Most recently I’ve been attending puppy yoga, because honestly any excuse to be around animals is a good one! I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends, with flexible morning and afternoon slots. I keep a consistent schedule so pets get reliable, timely care every visit. Since I come to you, my focus is making your pet feel safe and comfortable in their own home, where they’re happiest. I follow your routines closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routes, or specific instructions. I treat every home with respect and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

She’s also an excellent communicator, which makes such a difference. I always feel confident that my baby is safe and well cared for with her.
