About: I've raised my current rescue dog from a puppy and trained her and raised her to be a gentle, loving, cuddly, dog. She's now 11 years old. I've also worked with Amanda at Animal Dog Rescue where I fostered dogs and arranged forever homes. My whole family is great with dogs, including my 18-year old twins who are happy to play with and walk your pet. I'm not an official trainer, but I've trained many dogs how to walk on a leash and basic commands like sit, stay, and come. We have a large house with a large backyard and we also have a kennel for overnight stays. I'm available for walks, doggy day care, overnight care, and more. I'm open for any questions you might have! I'm in my mid-50s and I'm ready for semi-retirement. I'm home all day, love to hike, and love dogs 🐕 I'm very dependable and responsible and will take great care of your pet. I have a fenced yard, a large-sized crate, and can give your pet full-time attention and care. I also have an elder dog who is very gentle and two older teenagers who also love dogs. When caring for your pet at your home, I can stop by multiple times during the day for potty breaks, meals, and play time.
About: I was the main caretaker for my dog growing up and I have been trusted with many family and friends dogs. I apparently have a natural attraction for dogs as all of my friends dogs seem to love me almost like I am one of their owners. Currently home from college and have lots of spare time. I am very flexible. Would love to hang out with some nice doggos this summer. I will follow whatever rules you give me to ensure your dog is safe and I will give your dog so much play and attention (if desired) that they will fall asleep easy.

About: — Pet Care Experience — Hi there! I’m new to Rover but not new to pet care. I’m an active person who loves helping pups stay happy and healthy through regular walks, playtime, and attention. I offer both individual and group walks depending on what your pup enjoys most. This Bay Area heat is no joke — if you don’t live in a shaded neighborhood but still want your pet to get their daily exercise, I’m happy to drive them to a nearby park or trail within reasonable distance. I’m always open to chatting and working out the details that make you and your pup most comfortable. I also offer drop-in visits and house sitting for when you’re out of town. I’ll keep your pup’s routine consistent, make sure they feel safe in their home, and give them the love and care they’re used to. Their comfort and well-being always come first. — Schedule — I work full-time from 6 AM to 2 PM and currently have regular clients booked for the first few afternoon slots Monday through Thursday. Because of that, I’m generally available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting starting around 4 PM Monday–Thursday and 2:30 PM on Fridays. My weekend availability for walks and drop-ins is currently wide open, and house sitting availability is always kept up to date on my Rover calendar — feel free to check there or message me anytime with questions! — Safety, Trust & Environment — Whether I’m out on a walk, dropping in, or staying overnight, safety and security are always my top priorities. I follow your care instructions closely, stay alert to your pet’s behavior, tailor each visit to their individual needs, and send plenty of photos so you can feel completely at ease while we’re together. When I’m house sitting, I do my best to keep your pup’s routine consistent so they feel calm and comfortable in their own space. I’ll also treat your home with care and leave everything just as tidy as I found it. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, well cared for, and getting lots of love while you're away.
About: What can I say? I love dogs! I have extensive experience with dogs and previously fostered them in my home through Hopalong Animal Rescue in Oakland, CA. I grew up with dogs, and I’m currently owned by a handsome red Doberman Pinscher named Cairo. I’m comfortable with all breeds. I work full-time in the marketing industry but have a fairly flexible schedule. I regularly hike with my dog, play fetch, enjoy beach days—you name it. These are all things I’d love to do with your dog, too! Whether it’s a neighborhood walk or a hike, your pooch will be well cared for. Take a look at my dog’s Instagram page to see some of our adventures—his handle is @cairothereddoberman. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to working with you! My niche is providing pet care for pet parents who work extensive, non-traditional hours—including night shifts, weekends, holidays, and other irregular schedules. I understand how challenging it can be to find reliable, high-quality care during these times, and I’m here to help ensure your dog receives the love, attention, and exercise they need, no matter your work hours. My company is fully insured and certified in pet first aid. I’m also happy to share GPS location updates while walking or hiking with your fur babies, so you can have peace of mind knowing exactly where we are.
About: I worked at my local veterinary clinic in high school as a kennel technician for two years and have worked as a clinical technician at UC Davis for the past four years. I’ve also been a long-term dog walker and pet/house sitter for friends and family. Most of all I love animals! I’m a recent graduate and I’m living at home for the summer so I am very available, especially during weekdays. Id love to hangout with your pet! I have a large fenced off backyard and there are no other pets in the home. I used to play softball and love playing catch if your pet likes fetch! I’m also comfortable administering meds to dogs and cats.
“She had Hunnie so calm! She played with her, so much she took a nap!! My puppie does not take naps! Stehanie has experience and she was a God send! We love her!! Highly recommend”
“Very helpful with spending time Rosie”
“Brandi was sent from heaven to help us take care of Shasta - we will be booking her again the next time we need help, and if you’re reading this, you should too. She was very patient with Shasta’s hesitation around a new person taking her for walks, beyond accommodating to our schedules, and just the best person we could have had looking after our little pup.”
“Olivia's the best! What I appreciate about her the most is that she takes no shortcuts. I can go out of town without the stress of wondering if my cat's being fed, on time. It's a good sign, to me, if my normally shy cat makes an appearance. I highly recommend her.”

Tatyana is wonderful. Little cat loves her! Thank you so much for taking such good care of Little cat!
Brandi was sent from heaven to help us take care of Shasta - we will be booking her again the next time we need help, and if you’re reading this, you should too. She was very patient with Shasta’s hesitation around a new person taking her for walks, beyond accommodating to our schedules, and just the best person we could have had looking after our little pup.
Anna did a great job caring for our two cats while we were away. Great communication and happy cats :) Highly recommend!
Kylie was great! She took care of our cats and played with them (even made the shy one comfortable). She also thankfully took care of some potty accidents in the house. Kylie was reliable and prompt and always gave us great updates while we were out of town.
Nicole was able to watch Tuck last minute and we are very appreciative! She was communicative and sent us lots of cute photos and videos. Thanks for watching him!
Michael saved our trip when he stepped in after our pet sitter (from another platform) cancelled five days before our departure. Between a family member and Michael's drop ins, we were able to cobble together a schedule to meet our pet care needs. Upon meeting Michael, we could immediately sense how comfortable and adept he was at handling Sky, our 100lb American Bulldog, and caring for two persnickety senior cats. We felt at ease with his calm demeanor, knowledge and experience with cats and dogs. He was easy to work with and flexible to accommodate our family member's changing work schedule. We found happy and healthy pets when we returned home. Thank you, Michael, from the bottom of our hearts.
Prianka is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our sweet Cookie Dough while we were away. She never missed a single visit and was always prompt, attentive, and caring. Each time she stopped by, she sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos that truly put my mind at ease. I could tell Cookie Dough was in great hands, and it means the world to know she was so well cared for. I will definitely be booking with Prianka again in the future!
Claire was great with our cat Tucker while we were away. The guy loves his snuggles and Claire delivered 2x/day feeding, cleaning of litter box and snuggling. I recommend Claire for your cat care needs.
Stephanie was great! The boys loved their time with her. She showed up on time and even stayed a little longer than we had anticipated.
Tara did an awesome job dropping in and taking care of our cats while we were out of town. We met her before we left and knew we could trust her! Our cats were in great hands! We loved the photos that she sent and how clean the litter boxes were when we returned! We would definitely hire her again!! Thank you so much, Tara! 😻😻
