About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around dogs and cats of all sizes since I was young. I work from home full-time, so flexibility is definitely on my side. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every walk and drop-in safe and stress-free! I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or pet sitting, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my day while giving them the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow your instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and favorite routines. I know every pet is different, and I strive to make each visit feel as stress-free and familiar as possible while treating your home with the same respect I’d treat my own.
About: Hello future clients and furry friends! I’m Katherine and I can assure you I have all the experience you’re looking for considering I have 3 fur babies of my own! I’ve loved caring for animals since I can remember and have since revolved my entire life around it. From taking care of my own pets to working at a dog groomer salon to now working at a veterinary clinic! Working around pets for so long definitely has it’s perks from dealing with pumped up pups and comforting sleepy seniors. Big or small, adapting is never an issue for me! I’m also CPR certified for all sizes! 🐾 I’m currently working full time at a veterinary clinic so this would be mainly for the hours/days I’m not working! My schedule is pretty set so working out a timed schedule wouldn’t be a problem for me! For anyone that’s curious this is my current work schedule: Monday,Tuesday, and Thursday~ 2pm-7pm Wednesday and Friday~ 8am-2pm I have quite a bit of experience on working in other homes! I respect boundaries and I always bring my own personals so you don’t have to worry about a thing! :)

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets. From my first kitten at age five to the dogs and cats I care for today, I’ve always believed pets are part of the family. I provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Dogs in my care receive daily walks, along with plenty of attention and personalized care. I work from home full-time so your pet will get lots of time and attention from me. I want you to feel at ease with me watching your animal. I have a fenced in patio and a nice big yard in the front that I can walk your dog on a leash for potty breaks. I also live across the street from a very nice large park where I am happy to take the dog for some playtime.
About: I’ve owned and been around animals my whole life. I’ve had dogs, cats, horses, cattle and others throughout my years and love meeting more!

About: At 19 I decided to become a dog groomer. Attended a grooming academy for 9 months part-time. Now going on 15 years Ive worked in Hostipal, salon and mobile settings. Clients have not only trusted me with giving them spa treatments, but have also allowed me into there homes to watch over there babies. I enjoy creating relationships with owners and their pets. I feel honored when trust is built over time and I get peep of excitement when pets see me. Working in the pet industry Ive learned and dealt with all types of pets. From senior to anxiety prone. I believe my calm demeanor allows me to build trust with nervous or anxious pets. I currently work part time so I have about 3 to 4 days that are open a week. The days are work are typically morning till early evening so I could possibly come by after a shift. I will follow your instructions on how and when your pets needs are met on a daily basis. If I am unsure, I will reach out and only when given your consent will I proceed.
“Samantha has been great with my cats, so when I got a dog, I hoped she’d be up for the challenge—and she absolutely has been! She’s been wonderful with my new boy. They go on walks, she feeds him dinner, and I’m always relieved knowing he’s safe, happy, and well cared for while I’m away. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands with Samantha. I’m so grateful to have someone I trust with all of my pets!”
About: I lost my boxer last year to cancer and miss having a dog around. I decided to open my home to dog sitting and walking to fulfill my human need for a canine. I would love to snuggle and play with your dog. I have a big back yard, dog friendly for fetch, frisbee, hide and seek or other games. I will hike and run with your dog in the neighborhood or local parks. If your dog likes to swim, we can go to the creek or lake. I am available some weekdays and most weekends. Your dog will be the only pet, full on attention. I hope you choose me to meet your fur baby. I will provide loving care with fun and exercise.
“Sarah was great! She was super professional and friendly. I really appreciated her incentive to do a quick meet up with my pups and answer any pressing questions of mine prior to the booking. Thank you Sarah for accommodating my pups. I would definitely recommend her!!”
About: I am a huge dog (and cat) lover, as well as a Veterinary Technician of 7 years! Whether it be the cute small ones or the giant fluffy ones they are all something I love to be around. When I was little me and my family used to have a Chow Chow which I enjoyed having around. I now have two cats and dream about getting a giant Doodle later in life :) I am in college studying Biology and will soon be focusing on Animal Science in hopes to dive into the Veterinary world. Animals are one of my main interests and being able to care for them even if it is just for a day helps me learn about them a little more each time. I am willing to travel to help care for your pets and would love to spend time with them! I am currently studying to be a Vet in college so this would be a great opportunity to get to spend some time with the fury animals! 2025 UPDATE: Considering my change in work schedule from part-time to full-time as a Vet Tech I am a bit more busy than your typical sitter! My availability has become limited due to being at the hospital majority of the day... So please reach out to me to discuss your pets needs during a stay! I am happy to try my best to make it work! :) I am currently accepting client-based home sittings. I am very diligent, respectful and caring when it comes to caring for your pets in the comfort of their home. It’s important for me to be comfortable of course during the stay, but also respectful of your belongings, space, and your pets needs while visiting!
About: I have owned dogs since I was 10 years old and cats since the mid 1970's. I have cared for, fed, walked, played with not only my own, but for friends and neighbors as well. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk and care for your pets. Mid-mornings to early afternoons some days, all day on other days. I am currently not available to care for your pets in my home due to having 3 dogs and 2 cats already. Anything can change in the future though.

Alyssa was amazing! Communication was easy and she’s very responsive to questions and updates on the care of our dog. I felt at ease even before meeting with her. She did great with accommodating our needs and times requested for walks. Highly recommend and will use again. Hopefully she sticks with this so I can feel at ease when I need care for my pets. 5 stars from Abbey too 🐾
Sarah was great! She was super professional and friendly. I really appreciated her incentive to do a quick meet up with my pups and answer any pressing questions of mine prior to the booking. Thank you Sarah for accommodating my pups. I would definitely recommend her!!
Katelyn has walked our dog, Ninja, during two of our trips, and she’s been wonderful each time. She is always on time, takes the time to make sure Ninja is doing well, and genuinely cares for him. Ninja likes her very much, and we have complete confidence in her. We highly recommend Katelyn to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet. Thank you, Katelyn!
Christine did a great job of walking, feeding and dropping in on our dogs while we were gone. She is so dependable and reliable it really gave us peace of mind while we were away. We loved that she sent pictures and let us know each time she was there. Both of our dogs loved her. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to friends.
Marianne was awesome! She walked Aqua for thirty minutes over scheduled time which was so generous of her. She was extremely patient and playful with Aqua. She was very observant of her behavior and found solutions to fit Aqua’s needs. We can’t wait to work with her again!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Livermore. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
