“Tania was an exceptional Rover and did an amazing job with our girls! We got updates for walks and meals every day with pictures. She kept our house clean and even picked up the dog poop in the backyard. We will definitely be using her for all of our future Rover activities l if she’ll have us 👍🏼”


“Vanessa did an excellent job with my two dogs. She was able to help with their manner issues and I was very pleased. I would certainly request her for my next trip. The dogs were very happy with her also.”


“We are so happy to have found David to care for our animals on our week long trip! It was our first time using Rover and we have 6 indoor animals so it’s a lot. David stayed at our house with them and took great care of the animals and our home. We felt totally confident in our animals being cared for while we were away for so long. Thankful to have a great reliable animal sitter in our lives now!”


“Complete peace of mind leaving my pup with Victoria. This was my second time using her and Janko was clearly excited to see her again and I wasn’t worried about her at all. She was completely taken care of. Thank you Victoria!”


About: Growing up with dogs and volunteering at my local SPCA has helped me understand their needs, from daily walks to the attention they love. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. I am a full time student, and I have extra time to walk dogs Tuesday and Thursday Mornings. As well as Monday and Wednesday afternoons. As a dog walker, the safety and well being of your pet is my top priority. I always take precautions to ensure a secure walking environment, choosing safe routes and being alert to potential hazards. My experience growing up with dogs has taught me how to read their body language and respond appropriately to their needs.

About: What sets me apart? I care for your pets like they’re my own. I focus on creating a calm, safe and loving environment where your dog feels at home, not just watched. I pay close attention to their routine, needs, and personalities so they get personalized care and comfort while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, a quiet cuddle or sticking to their feeding schedule, I’m all in. Communication is important to me too, you’ll always know how your pet is doing with regular updates and photos. It’s not just sitting, it’s trust, care and peace of mind. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play or evening wind downs, I structure my day around the comfort and routine of the pets I care for. I prioritize consistency, attention and presence so your pet isn’t just part of my day, they shape it. I’m committed to giving them the time, care and calm they deserve. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. In my home, pets have a calm, clean and cozy space where they can relax, play, and follow their usual routines. I maintain a safe environment, give lots of attention and make sure they feel secure and loved. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar space. I’m mindful of your home, keep things tidy and focus on creating a stress free experience for both you and your pet.

“Patty was amazing! She sent photos throughout the stay and text back wight away when we messaged or had any questions. My home was clean if not cleaner than when we left it. My VERY anxious dog who is timid of everyone was ready to jump in her car when she was leaving. Thank you Patty for taking care of our babies and our home. We will definitely be booking with her again!”



About: I have grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember. My mom was a poodle breeder and I would help her take care of puppies and play with them. If they ever got sick I was able to help with shots and keeping them clean. I also have house sat with my grandmas pets, two have diabetes so I also know how to give shots if needed. I also have experience feeding animals specific foods and amounts. I love animals and get along with them greatly. I also care deeply about making sure your animals feel comfortable and happy. I enjoy walking my three dogs so I figured I could walk other peoples dogs and make some extra money while enjoying spending time with them.

About: I love animals💕 ive taken care of dogs my whole life and ive had huskies, shih tzus, pitbulls, and a basset hound so that means big or small breeds are welcome. Ive also taken care of cats, hedgehogs, birds, turtles 😆 name it all. My friends and relatives always trust me with their pets and let me take care of them :) I am a full time student online so I am busy with homework but i have free time. My other commitment would be going to martial arts. I'll be available all the time Monday through Sunday. I wake up really early and also sleep late at night. I only take 2 clients per day 😃 I will treat your pet like my own, but with boundaries you provide for me. I fully respect rules for your pet if there are certain routines or food that is only allowed. I love animals, I treat them gently and playfully. Im always curious to get to know your pet!

“Emily was professional, caring, and took such great care of Bruin! She played with him, took him on his walks, and fed him! Emily was easy to work with and I will definitely be using Rover and Emily again. Best Experience!”


About: As a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 10 years of experience, I bring both professional training and a genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Whether it's giving medications, helping senior pets feel comfortable, or keeping up with a playful puppy, I’ve done it all—and I truly enjoy it! I know how to spot when something isn’t quite right and how to make pets feel calm and cared for. Your pet isn’t just getting a sitter—they’re getting someone who will treat them like family, make sure they’re safe, happy, and maybe even a little spoiled while you’re away. As a full-time Registered Veterinary Technician, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life—it’s not just a job, it’s truly what I love. I regularly offer walks, drop-ins, and check-ins before or after my shifts, and I’m also available during lunch hours for quick visits or mid-day potty breaks. On weekends and holidays, I’m often even more flexible. My schedule is structured, but I make it a priority to fit in quality time with the pets I care for. Whether it’s a morning walk, a lunch-time cuddle, or an evening check-in, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. When I welcome pets into my home for boarding, I treat them like part of the family. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy whenever they want. I do my best to keep their routine just like they’re used to—whether that’s regular feeding times, walks, play sessions, or plenty of quiet downtime. My home is warm and pet-friendly, designed to help them feel safe and comfortable. With over 10 years of experience as a Registered Veterinary Technician, I’m prepared to handle any medical needs or special care your pet might require. Most importantly, I provide lots of love, attention, and positive vibes to make their stay fun and stress-free. I also keep pet parents updated regularly so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of many different breeds and sizes. No crate unless you are strict on your dog sleeping in a crate. If so, will need to bring your dog’s own crate. Fully fenced & gated dog park on the property. I am also available for pick up & drop off services within the Walnut Creek Area. I work from home which allows me to spend quality time with each of the dogs I care for. This quality time allows the to understand the dogs temperament and personality, creating a peaceful and safe environment for them. I have an apartment with a gated dog park where dogs can play and run freely and safely. Safety is always the top priority for me and I would never expose a dog to danger.

“Lauren did an amazing job watching our dogs! You can tell she’s an animal lover. She sent us updates and photos every time she stopped by and made sure to play with the dogs and get them exercise every time she was with them. She’s very professional and followed our requests perfectly. Will definitely use her again in the future.”


About: I grew up with cats and a few dogs and miss them all everyday. I’m a very responsible previous pet owner and due to not being able to have one due to current work schedule why not find a way to hang out with some. I’ve used Rover in the past and love it. Pick me!! I’m a travel nurse working 4 shifts a week but with the lower census my days are getting cut and I’m looking to make a few extra $. I love pets and figured this would be a great way to hang out with some and kill the boredom. I’m a responsible previous pet owner. I’m a nurse certified in BLS, NIH and ACLS. I know pets are different but I’m very skilled in keeping a close eye on folks and showing love and being there for them. ( and I really want to hang out with cute animals again)

“I had a sitter cancel night before for I needed to leave the country and Ana immediately came in to save the day! She has been very patient with my fear aggressive healer and she’s probably the only other person he feels comfortable. Thank you for your help Ana!”


“Kendra was fabulous! She stayed with our senior dog and cat over Christmas weekend. Her communication was great - I received updates and pictures every day that we were gone. It was obvious she was comfortable and experienced with animals. We came home to two happy, relaxed animals who didn't even seem to notice that we had left them. Definitely recommend and definitely would book again.”



“She really did a great job taking care of my animals and put my mind at ease by sending lots of pics. Made sure they used the restroom and were fed all the time. Definitely recommend.”

Diana C.
“I cannot speak highly enough about Diana and the extraordinary care she provides to animals. From the moment you meet her, it’s clear that her compassion, patience, and genuine love for animals are unmatched. Whether it’s nursing a rescued pet back to health, providing daily care, or simply offering comfort and affection, Diana goes above and beyond every single time. Her deep understanding of animal behavior and her calming presence make even the most anxious animals feel safe and loved. I’ve seen firsthand how she treats every creature with dignity, respect, and kindness — as if they were her own. If you are looking for someone who will care for your pet like family, or if you admire people who are truly making a difference in the lives of animals, look no further than Diana. She is a rare and beautiful soul, and we are all better for the love and dedication she pours into every animal she touches.”

Ken C.
“Hi For the past 4 years that Kennedy has been the caregiver to my dog pinto he has been nothing but loving and respectful to pinto. Pinto has demonstrated his attachment he has towards Kennedy because of the following reasons: Kennedy always shows up ready to show him love and attention. Second off Kennedy feeds him on time takes him for walks to the park plays with him and most importantly shows him love as if pinto was his own dog! I know Kennedy and he can gain your trust in an instant and more importantly your dog’s trust also! So if I were to choose someone to take care of another dog if I had another one, I’m picking Kennedy as my dog caregiver such a great guy and respectful guy!”

Emily was an amazing house/dog sitter. I was able to go out of town knowing my baby Evee was well cared for and that she was comfortable in her own environment. Emily was extremely thoughtful, sending me pictures and keeping me informed of what was happening while I was gone. I will definitely be asking her to house sit and watch Evee in the future. Thanks so much Emily!
