About: Hi! I’m a Zoology student working toward becoming a veterinarian, as well as a Military Conservation Agent veteran with hands-on animal care experience. I’m especially comfortable with dogs that need a little extra attention, including large breeds, anxious or reactive dogs, senior dogs, and pets recovering from medical procedures. I have dog training experience and am confident handling dogs with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My animal experience also includes working with wildlife such as bears, large cats, wolves, and coyotes, including emergency animal care and working alongside veterinarians. For pets with medical needs, I can administer medications, follow veterinary care instructions, monitor recovery, and watch closely for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall condition. I understand that emergencies and last-minute situations happen, so I may be able to accommodate short-notice bookings when other sitters are unavailable without meet & greet. My priority is always to keep your dog safe, comfortable, calm, and well cared for while giving you regular updates and peace of mind. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule outside of my lab sessions. I’m available for early mornings, evenings, and most daytime hours, and I can often adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I may also be available for last-minute or short-notice bookings when my schedule allows. I have professional experience handling high-drive, reactive, and challenging animals, including wolfdogs and wildlife. I’m confident working with strong breeds and know how to handle them safely, calmly, and with good judgment. I always respect your home, property, and your pet’s routine. During walks and stays, I use safe handling techniques and closely monitor your dog’s behavior and condition. I can also provide basic first aid, administer medications as instructed, and support established training or behavior routines when needed.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. When I was active duty I spent a lot of time watching other service members pets. I would help any time they needed! I trained my own dogs and keep their activity levels up! I am doing school online so I have a VERY flexible schedule! I’m also active so I can do lots of walks and potty breaks! Patience it key! I believe all dogs are incredibly smart they just need a second to understand! Food motivation is always a good trick to help get them on the right track!
“Kalista was so sweet with our pup! She made time to do a meet and greet on short notice and quickly won over Indie. We are so grateful and will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Having 4+ years of volunteering at my animal shelter has given me the experience to handle various kinds of dogs and their personality traits. I primarily bring them out in the play yards to get their daily exercise so to do this outside the shelter would be like my ideal day of never ending fun. On my free-time I like to research dog breeds and learn anything dog-related. I also love to run my dog blog on instagram. I would like to commit at least 3 days of full-time availability. Nighttime hours (6-11PM) is probably my preferred time because I'm almost always available then. Dogs deserve the exercise and love they need while their owners are away and I'll do my best to make make sure they get it. My house-sitting routine is set to ensure your pet receives consistent, attentive care throughout the day. On weekdays, I provide morning care before heading to work (which begins at 8:00 AM in Chula Vista). Depending on my route, I’m typically available again between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. After work, I return to spend a few hours feeding, caring for, and giving your pet plenty of attention. I then briefly check in on my own pets before coming back to your home for the evening and overnight care. On weekends, I have greater flexibility. I am available every Saturday and every other Sunday, allowing me to dedicate even more time and attention to your pet’s needs. Caring for your pet is both a joy and a responsibility I take seriously. While you’re away, they’ll be treated like one of my own—with lots of love, attention, and care. I like to follow a detailed care sheet outlining your pet’s usual routine so I can mirror it as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable and at ease in your absence. You can also expect plenty of adorable updates, and I’m always available if you or I have any questions along the way.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have enjoyed caring for pets my whole life. I had my sweet girl Stella, a pug, for 13 years. I crate, potty, and recall trained her as a puppy, fed her a balanced diet of vitamins and homemade food throughout her life, and gave her loving, gentle care in her senior hospice years. I’ve also cared for my mom’s boxer for a year and even taught her, her favorite trick… tossing a treat up with her nose and catching it! I’ve looked after my friends’ pets as well, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, senior dogs, birds (parrot), a chameleon, and special mentioned of a disabled Frenchie who needed a little extra help to go potty. I make friends with any neighborhood kitties when they let me. Usually just takes a bit of chicken or turkey. Lol I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can work around almost any animals needs. I work Amazon Flex so I set my own hours and only do 1-2 hr shifts (sometimes multiple times a day). If I leave the house, I am gone for a max of 3-4 hrs or less depending on where I’m delivering to. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that giving their family peace of mind makes leaving them just a little bit easier.
About: Ever since I was young, my love for animals has been unwavering, and that passion continues to define me as an adult. I've always been the go-to person among my family and friends whenever they needed a pet sitter or extra assistance. It wasn't until recently, when a friend referred me to Rover, that I decided to officially extend my help beyond my immediate circle. I’m available to care for pets Monday through Sunday with enough advance notice to plan around my schedule and personal responsibilities. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s care fits comfortably into both your schedule and mine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules.
“Vanessa is absolutely amazing. She is extremely accommodating and has not once said no to helping me out even if it’s a few hours before. She takes the best care of my puppy Lucy and always goes above and beyond for her walks as well as sending me the cutest pictures during. I highly recommend her to anyone nearby!!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small animals like bunnies and guinea pigs. 🐶🐱🦎My family and I have raised multiple puppies and cared for seniors, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need.

About: I’ve lived and cared for animals since I was young. My dad is a veterinarian, so I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life! I had my dog for 15 beautiful years and went through all the ups and downs of a dog parent. I administered her medication and provided as many accommodations and love she needed. Currently, I have one medium haired cat who is shy but incredibly sweet and friendly. I’ve had him since he was a kitten and has adjusted to our own little routine. I know how difficult it can be to leave a furry friend behind, so I’m here to relieve any stress you may have and provide as much comfort and care to your loved one! I currently work part-time so I have a flexible schedule. I’m a grad student, so if I’m not at work or class, I’m usually home hanging out with my cat :) My cat is very low maintenance and is used to dogs but if you prefer for him to be separated from your furry friend I can definitely make sure they are in different rooms! My apartment is pet friendly and has a grass area right upfront as well as a fenced yard they can go out to!

About: I’ve lived on a farm since I was 11. I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies along with many other animals. I raised multiple litters of newborn puppies and their mothers. I’ve cared for them in many ways. I’ve also worked at a doggy day care and boarding facility and have experience with taking care of many dogs of different sizes and ages. I’m walking dogs and doing dog sitting as a side job now while I attend school. I assure you I have plenty of experience taking care of these wonderful fur babies. I’m currently going to school. I take night classes and need something that is flexible with my schedule. I already walk dogs and do dog sitting through another app called wag. It’s perfect for me cause I can focus on school without being worried about being tied down to a schedule since I’m able to make my own schedule. I also need more services so I thought doing 2 apps at a time might bring more income. I let them out every 2-4 hours to go potty or as needed or instructed my owner. I feed them based off their eating schedule and how many time a day they eat. I take them out for walks and to play with them outside frequently. If the parent need me to do anything else for their pups I’m more than happy to do so.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Lincoln Acres is $23
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln Acres
Holly is very reliable, punctual, and very trustworthy, which is extremely important to me. Woody was well taken care of, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy after the walk. I really appreciated the communication and the care she showed towards him. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone dependable to take care of their dog!
Zach was absolutely incredible! He took such good care of my doggo while we were away for a few days! He made sure he was loved on and maintained (brushed him and then even swept the house). He gave me consistent updates and sent lots of pictures! A very kind and thoughtful caregiver! Will definitely be using him again if/when we go away next!
One of our dogs is very wary of new people and takes a long time to warm up to them. Not with Kali. She met him once before we left on vacation. Her first walk it took him 2 blocks to chill out. After that he was so stoked to see her and leave the house with her. Dogs came back so happy and fully exercised. Highly recommend. Will 100% use her again.
Janet takes such great care of my dogs and makes it so much easier to be away from them. She’s attentive, patient, communicative, and my dogs absolutely love her. They always get plenty of exercise, attention, and quality care, and are happy and relaxed when I get home. I absolutely trust Janet with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!
Nicolas is just great w dogs. He has a way with our big Staffy that keeps her in check and she still has a great relaxed walk. If you need an all around good person watching or walking your fur babies, Nicolas is the guy. I’m so lucky our family and our dog has met him.

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.
