“Tawnia is great! She’s so patient with my pups, esp since one likes to pull and the other has been defensive of our home. But Tawnia does so well with both pups and we love having her for walks!”


“Jessica was great, she contacted me about needs and expectations before scouts walk and stopped by for a meet and greet! She really cared for scout on her check in and even made sure she had plenty of water before she left! Will definitely be using Jessica again.”


“Candace is great to work with. I reached out for dog walking my two rescues. They have some quirks and she manages them well. I’m happy she’s available when I need her. I will use her service again.”


“We’ve been working with Ben for a lot of walks and one several day long pet sit. He’s been awesome. Such cute walk photos, timely, and communicates really well. We’re lucky to have him getting our dogs a little extra love”


“Brooke is the absolute best! She is consistent, punctual, an excellent communicator, and our dog goes nuts when he sees her. I’ve utilized several dog walkers/sitters through Rover in the past but none are as dependable as Brooke.”


“My dog gets better at walking every time they take her out. She and I are both learning new tricks to keep her from pulling and being overly reactive. I'm so happy when I take her for a walk and she actually behaves!”


“Eden is great. She is very pleasant and calm. She has been walking my Australian Cattle Dog for just over a week, and she does just what we asked her to do which was to poop her out some! Mission accomplished!! Thank you Eden!”


About: I have been caring for animals since my childhood and have several of my own. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work and go to school part time. I have the most freedom on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but can also periodically check on your pet on the other days of the week. I can do overnights as well. I will work with your pets needs whether that is specific feeding times, a walking schedule, or other routines that you and your pet typically do.

“Kimberly was able to help me out last minute, which was amazing! We didn't have time to do a meet and greet, but she was still able to follow my instructions and walk my dog. She is a great communicator and I will definitely use her in the future!”


“Hossanna is an incredible dog walker! She's reliable, loves what she does, and always gives thoughtful notes and pictures during her drop ins. I would absolutely recommend booking Hossanna for all your dog care needs.”


About: I'm a retired veteran. I'm trustworthy and passionate about animals. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child. I have a granddog who stops by now and again. I love dogs and promise to treat your dog as my my own. My husband and I are both retired military so we are able to cater to your schedule and to your dogs needs. I'm happy to administer medication if needed. We have a large fenced in back yard with a playground mulch base, shade sails and a covered patio. I have a kiddie pool I use on occasion for our dogs. Inside is air-conditioned and we have plenty of dog friendly couch seating in the living room.


About: Loving full-time care to give comfort and security to your fur baby. Dogs are always on a leash, no chances are taken. Two blocks from a nice park within which to give your friend exercise . This is a very canine centric home. I have twosmall dogs.one is 10 pounds the other is 7. Both are socially well adjusted and my anchors. Their names are Baby Girl and Benny.I am able to administer medicine, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. All said, I am here to protect and nurture your pup so that you may relax and focus on other business. I always text pictures and updates while you are gone. we can do face time if you would like. Feel free to ask any and all questions. I am here to serve. I have been rescuing and fostering dogs for 30 years. It is the one thing that I am most proud of. Cheers, John I only work part time on the weekends and have someone to let your dogs out while I am gone so all are cared for. I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups to keep your baby company. Plenty of toys,treats and love for all in a canine centric home.

About: I've had dogs since I was 5 and have worked with them for the past 2 and a half years. I've trained several puppies, taken care of my own elderly pups when they had arthritis, cancer, and other illnesses that come with old age. I am fully committed to caring for your pets so long as it does not interfere with other clients. Anytime even 2am if need be. My goal is to make your pet feel as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible in the absence of their favorite humans (you). I always treat my clients and their fur babies with respect and care.

About: Dogs have always been in my life. Since I was a kid, I would pet sit my neighbors’ dogs when they went out of town. When I grew-up and had roommates, I would joyfully watch their pups when ever they needed. I’m a mom to two very friendly coonhounds (7 and 5 yrs old) who love other dogs and kids. I enjoy taking them for long walks, to the dog park (which is a 30 second saunter down the street from my house), and hiking in the mountains. I raised both my girls from puppies and recently nursed my oldest dog through cancer treatments. I am happy to take care of dogs young and old, small and large, healthy and sick. I am diligent, caring, and responsible. I look forward to meeting your best friend! I am at home during the week, so I can watch your pup at my house and take them for walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park. I have a fenced in backyard. Your dog would have to get along with mine for a house visit, but both my dogs are passive, love dogs of all ages (including puppies!) and sizes (my boyfriend has a Chihuahua), are well socialized (they have tons of dog friends, go to the dog park and been to doggie daycare). I am also available evenings and weekends to walk your dog in your neighborhood and to watch dogs boarded overnight at your house or mine. Before booking a house stay, we can do a meet-up to make sure our pups get along! The dog park is down the street, so it’s easy neutral ground before a house tour.

About: Hi I’m Zoe, I’ve had animals my whole life, in the past 7 years I’ve successfully graduated from a veterinary assistant program at PIMA and I currently work two part time jobs. I’m always willing to open my heart and care to any furry friend that I do come across. I have many professional references you can contact to feel more comfortable! I have a great amount of experience caring for these furry family members, no matter the age, or size or special needs. I believe it’s truly what I was meant to do in this life. I work Sunday through Wednesday 8-4P and Wednesday night to Friday 3-9P, I will work with your schedule to make sure I can align my schedule properly! I will always send updates on the wellbeing of your pet, I'm very comfortable with more constant communication with my clients! And I will always leave your home just as clean as I found it :)

La Mesa dog parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t be happier with Olivia! She is reliable, warm, and clearly experienced with animals. From the moment she met our two dogs, they took to her instantly—which says a lot, because one of them can be a little particular. It’s such a relief to know our dogs are in good hands. We highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker or sitter!
