“Jonathan is wonderful with my energetic labradoodle! He helps with good walking etiquette , is communicative with me about how the walks go, and always takes the best photos of my pup. He’s dependable and flexible with schedules, which I really appreciate.”
About: For walks: I'm very experienced at dog waking. I can handle big and small dogs. I can move at any pace on walks including running. I like to let the dog set the pace. I will typically ask owners what commands they use with their dogs so I can help keep them trained and have them heel on walks. I always avoid other dogs just in case. And on hot days I plan my walks in advance and leave water out for the dog on the route before I start the walk. For drop ins and sitting: I will comfort your dog while you are away as well as feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. I can also give medications orally, but I can't inject any medications. I'm currently a student and since all my classes are online, I will have plenty of time for your pets. I'm free every day, but Thursday and I'm not free Saturday after 6pm I will comfort your dog while you are away as well as feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. I can also give medications orally, but I can't inject any medications. I'm great about making sure the house is completely locked up and the key put back in it's place when I'm done.

About: I am currently an owner of two golden retriever/labrador mixes as well as a tabby cat and have four years of experience raising, playing with, taking care of, and walking them. They're both full of unlimited energy and I love them immensely, so I have plenty of experience with bigger, energetic dogs. I also have been picking up local dog sitting jobs over the past year and have experience watching dogs while their owners are away while providing entertainment, play, and care for them. I am currently a college student home for the summer who is free all day Monday-Sunday to help care for, play with, watch, or walk your dogs. I'm looking to pick up some side jobs over the summer to help pay for college expenses and would love to work with your family if our schedules align. I provide personalized care in my client's home so pets can feel comfortable in a familiar space while being attentive and respectful of the space. If provided a schedule regarding walks, feeding, medication, or more I will adhere to it as closely as possible. I can also provide constant communication, photos, and regular updates if needed to ease the owner's anxiety and provide peace of mind and confidence that their pet is safe and getting the utmost care.
“Lillian was wonderful! Papi is full of energy, and Lillian didn't look askance at any of his antics. He came back from his walk very tired (which I loved). Papi also couldn't bear to watch Lillian leave, lol; he had fallen in love! I think she's terrific and will definitely use her again soon.”
About: I am attending school at UCSC for legal studies and have a robust knowledge of dog parks, dog-friendly beaches and trails from Santa Cruz to the City! If you’d like to socialise your dog, you’re in luck because I have a 10-month-old baby 🐾 of my own. We have tons of doggo friends for your pooch to meet if you choose, and no matter what, your dog is getting top-tier handling and care when you trust working with me! If there are behaviours you’d like to work on or would like me to be aware of, please do not hesitate to reach out, and we can discuss them further. I am available for full time pet care, I am also available for part time + available to board if needed. There has not been an hour where I have not been in the company of 1 or more dogs since 2015. I have a fenced yard for the dogs to go potty and run uninhibited. I have a small scale toy and treat business which means the dogs will have plenty to keep them occupied and if he/she would like to go home with their favourites, we can arrange for that too. I am capable of pickup and drop off as well as supervised visits to the park, creeks, the beach, trails, etc.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have owned and cared for two dogs, including one who lived to the remarkable age of 22. My current dog is 15 years old and still acts like a puppy, giving me valuable experience caring for both senior dogs and energetic companions. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have been dog sitting for friends and neighbors since I was around 13 or 14 years old. Over the years, I have gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their regular routines while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves patient, attentive care. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing with a companion, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are in good hands. I am currently a part time surf instructor. My schedule varies week to week depending on how many lessons are booked. That means I will have lots of time to hang out and take care of your dogs! I live in a nice neighborhood with a spacious backyard that is fenced in with a mix of astroturf and small rocks. I also have a shed in the back where the dogs can hang out when it is either raining or when it is super hot outside. It is a perfect hangout spot for your dogs to enjoy!
About: I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pets specific routine and personality. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I am available for consistent potty breaks, timely feedings, and plenty of one on one playtime without having to rush. Neighbors and friends have always trusted me with their animals because I prioritize safety, comfort, and peace of mind for the owners. I am currently living in Santa Cruz and focusing entirely on pet care. My wide-open schedule gives me the ultimate flexibility to fit seamlessly in your weekly routine, weather you need regular daily dog walks, early morning feedings, or someone around for companionship. Instead of a fenced yard, I focus on dedicated, one on one outdoor time. Your pet will receive my full attention on multiple leash-walks throughout the day to get their energy out. Indoors ill keep a sharp eye on them, clear away any potential hazards, and provide plenty of mental stimulation with games and toys so they are safe and entertained.

I have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of free time to help care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I’m always available on weekends and love being able to spend quality time with animals 🐾 I’ll make sure your furry ones are always fed, have fresh water, and are well cared for. I’m very attentive and always clean up after them as needed. I treat every dog the same way I treat my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Kat is an excellent dog walker! She made sure our Mabel got all the exercise she needed during the day, and even stayed inside with her while it was raining to allow her to have socialization while our daughter was at work. Kat is very communicative and kept us updated on Mabel while she was walking her!”
About: 10 years of veterinary and hands-on animal care experience and truly enjoy working with all types of dogs. I live with a Great Pyrenees and an Australian Shepherd, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and strong pullers. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats, chickens, goats, lizards, snakes, hamsters, and many other animals, so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of species and personalities. I prioritize safe, calm, and positive walks, tailoring exercise to each dog’s age, energy, and personality. I can administer medications, including injections like insulin, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and special care instructions. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been the one who disappears at parties or events to hang out with the animals, that passion for being around and caring for pets has never left me. I have three young kids and recently transitioned out of a full-time job to focus on pet care, giving me flexible and reliable daytime availability. I’m available most days and times of the week. I’ve recently transitioned out of a full-time job to focus on pet care, which allows me to provide flexible, reliable visits tailored to each pet’s needs. I provide care in your home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a safe and clean space, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, routine, and any special needs.
About: Hello! I’ve been a dog Mommy for over 7 years. I’ve lived with 4 dogs at one time in a very small space and they were all impressively disciplined. I absolutely adore dogs and have become a professional cuddler. I live for that big smile they get after a nice belly rub! I’ve boarded dogs in my home many times; from Shiba Inus to Huskies. I am an energetic, assertive, patient dog lover and am ecstatic to meet your fur baby! I’m very flexible. I’m available as early and as late as needed. I’m willing to accommodate you as best as I can to find something suitable within our schedules. I have no timeframe restrictions. I always greet your dog and allow them to feel comfortable before engaging in petting. I am comfortable with crating if needed. I want your dog to feel safe around me and in my presence, so lots of love and affection may be necessary.
About: I love dogs and I love taking them out and about on walks! I have taken care of many dogs from the age of 2 to 16. My most recent experience includes taking care of senior dogs. I am currently a teacher on summer break so I have lots of time on my hands to dog sit and take dogs on walks! I take care of pets in clients homes by ensuring the dog has all of its needs met.

Nieves is so good with dogs! My pup was immediately at ease with her, rolling over for her to scratch his belly. He went with her easily, and he does not do that. She is responsible, timely and communicative. I highly recommend Nieves for taking care of your dog/s.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
