“Kara's reintroduction to Athena after my girl, Sasha's passing went great. Kara was able to successfully walk my shy Athena with no issues. They also got some plank training exercises done! The photos Kara shared with me were reassuring all was going well. Athena and I look forward to seeing Kara in a couple of weeks! Kara, thank you!”

About: I have been around dogs since I was little through friends and family. Recently I adopted my puppy 2 years ago from the shelter when she was just 8 weeks old. She is a high energy Australian Cattle/Shepherd mix. I am working full time in a Hybrid schedule which means 3 days in the middle of the week I am in the office. Other then that, my nights and 5 day weekends are flexible. I keep any pets I care for indoors. If I am at my client’s home, I follow their custom directions very closely and is very communicative.

“Great communication and took great care of our boy! :)”

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats and I’m patient with seniors and shy pets. I can follow detailed routines, including medication reminders, slow walks, and gentle handling. I’m very careful about doors/leashes, keep things clean, and I’ll send regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of time to spend and take care of pets. It makes my life more enjoyable Safety and trust come first for me. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, and use leash control on every walk. I keep feeding/litter areas clean, avoid unsafe foods, and send photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.

“Leah, thank you so much for taking such great care of my dogs! Your kindness and genuine love for animals truly shine, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in your care. I’m so grateful for your attentiveness and the way you made them feel so loved and comfortable.”

About: 👋🏼 Hello! We have used Rover regularly to find care for our pup and kitty, and are excited to open our home to do the same for others. We would be delighted to board or check in on your pup/kitty while you are away. 🏡 We have a bright home with a large, fenced in yard that is turfed which is perfect for play time. 🐶 We have an energetic lab who loves to chase the ball, run, and wrestle. He plays hard with his best buds, but knows when to take a break. Rudder can be very dominant, especially with younger dogs and those not fixed, which is why we require meet and greets! 🐱We also have a cat who’s very curious and loves to spend time with pups that stay with us. Your pup will get lots of play time in with us. **We ask that any pups stay with us must already be exposed to and good with cats. 🦮 We have the most experience caring for and have the perfect environment for Retrievers (We’re a bit biased 😅) but are of course open to caring for other breeds. I work from home 75%, so I am readily available to care for your pup. Morning walks, play breaks in the back yard, and lots of fun in between! Once the day is over, we usually go on a walk and play in the back. ☀️ We’re usually up at 6am. Our pup sleeps with us. We have a kennel for any furbabies who need them. Your pup will have someone with them the majority of the time. We treat any pups visiting us as family and will send lots of photos often so you are assured they are safe❤️

“Madeline was amazingly patient and great with my greyhound! She was responsive and sent photos and notes, and was very accommodating. Would happily recommend her and hope to have her visit my dog again in the future.”

About: I specialize in dog care and have over five years of hands on experience as a dog owner and sitter. I’ve had my own dog, Xochilt, for five years and have also boarded two additional dogs for an extended period, caring for three dogs at once while maintaining structure, safety, and individualized attention. I have experience with puppies, reactive dogs, and dogs who require medication, special diets, or strict routines. I’m patient, attentive, and very comfortable reading dog body language, which helps me adapt my approach to each dog’s personality and needs. I prioritize consistency and clear routines, especially for dogs who thrive on structure or need extra reassurance. I’m playful and nurturing while still maintaining boundaries to keep dogs safe and well behaved. My location offers easy access to multiple dog parks within walking distance, making walks and outdoor enrichment a regular part of care when appropriate. Whether I’m providing walks, drop ins, boarding, or house sitting, my goal is to make dogs feel secure, engaged, and cared for so owners can feel confident their pets are in capable, loving hands :) I’m currently a full time student at San Diego City College with all online classes except one, which allows me to be flexible and attentive with pet care. I offer walks, drop ins, boarding, and house sitting, and I plan my schedule around each dog’s routine. I make sure dogs get consistent walks, playtime, meals, and any required medications, with plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m communicative and happy to adjust care based on your dog’s needs and comfort level ! My apartment is dog friendly and located in a safe, very walkable neighborhood. There are multiple designated areas nearby for dogs to use the bathroom, as well as several dog parks within a 10 min walking distance for dogs who enjoy extra exercise and social time. All outings are based on the owner’s preferences and the dog’s comfort level. Dogs in my care are always supervised, follow their regular routines, and receive attentive, structured care. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain their established routines so pets feel comfortable and secure!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for most my life. I've had up to three dogs of my own at a time. Had to say goodbye to two of them last year. I have a one year sweet pup named Lucy that has been great around all dogs big and small. I work full time from home so I am more than happy to have your dog for the day while you're at work, or for the night if you're away. I can stop in to let your dog out throughout the day if needed. I do have 2 cats in the house so would need dogs that are cat friendly or ignore them. Look forward to meeting your pup! I do have a full time job, but I do work from home so I do have a very flexible schedule so I am available to take care of your pet during the week. I am free pretty much all day on Saturdays and Sunday I am very respectful of your home and belongings. I truly do love animals and I can assure you I will treat your pet(s) and spoil them just as I do my own

About: I’ve been a dedicated pet owner and caregiver for years, with hands-on experience raising both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs.

I’m extremely attentive, reliable, and intuitive when it comes to animals. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, provide plenty of exercise and affection, and create a calm, safe environment while you’re away. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to more relaxed or senior pets, and I always adjust my care to fit each animal’s personality and needs. Beyond basic care, I take pride in going above and beyond—whether that’s sending thoughtful updates, being highly responsive, or making sure your pet feels genuinely comfortable and loved. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I aim to give pet owners complete peace of mind knowing their pet is in great hands. I have an extremely flexible work schedule, so I have time for pop-ins and/ or walks for your pets. I’m typically around starting at 6am-5pm, unless I have to be in person for work. provide attentive, reliable care in your pet’s own home where they’re most comfortable. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. For walks, I prioritize safety with secure leashing, awareness of surroundings, and adjusting pace to your dog’s needs. I always respect your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates with photos so you feel confident while you’re away.

About: Certified dog trainer by the Japan Kennel Club with 20 years of experience. With a strong background in canine care and training, I served as a teaching assistant in dog trainer programs at a vocational school in Japan, where I managed a wide range of dogs. I also earned a certificate after completing the dog behaviorist program in Japan, which deepened my understanding of canine psychology and behavior. I am also a lifelong dog lover with personal experience raising dogs, including caring for senior dogs. This hands-on experience has given me a deeper appreciation for the emotional and physical needs of dogs at every stage of life. Since my availability as a dog walker may vary depending on the time and circumstances, I plan to update my schedule regularly. However, the usual schedule is Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 6:00PM. I believe every dog deserves a walk that matches their needs. I thoughtfully choose safe paths based on their age and health, making sure they feel happy and cared for.
